Oh my god! I'm so sorry!!! I just noticed this is the droid bionic safestrap! I just installed this on my razr and had some problems and posted here. I favorited this thread after I was linked here and never bothered to check. Anyways really sorry for taking up a posting space! I'm such an idiot....

Don't sweat it, Brony! Glad you realized the problem and got it squared away!

They just list the same goo.im link which doesn't work. Anyone have an actual mirror or can attach a recent APK?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
You're looking for Targa safestrap? I have 3.11, 3.51, 3.53, and 3.60 on my hard drive (I don't trust that web sites won't go down, ESPECIALLY goo.im)

Uploading to my G-Drive in a Safestrap folder now. Might be a minute before they're available
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rainabba:
Thank you very much. That's exactly what I was looking for.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
My pleasure
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arana1:
how to update? i read in how to safestrap that if im in version 2 i had to backup remove and, remove i

if i already have a previous version i can just update it and henjus tinstall recovery on top of the other recovery? (i have safestrap 3.53)

also:

I want to reflash my stock bionic with 4.1 (i have no problem with this and rooting it) , because i messed it up a bit removing more stock apps that i should xD, currently have aokp 4.2 and cm 4.3 in slots 2 and 1 respectively, how can i rsd my stock rom again and backup this safestrap images to use them when i reroot the stock? or is there a way to reflash stock without erasing the safestrap slots?

thank you i was wondering where was my 3.60 download lol, of course i didnt have any as i just downloadad what the link sent me (3.50 not even 3.53 lol)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
To update Safestrap, boot to stock and open the safestrap app. Choose "uninstall recovery", then close the app and install the new app. Open the new safestrap app and choose "install recovery". Enjoy. You probably don't HAVE to uninstall the recovery first, but I always did, just in case there were differences in how each version handled things.

As far as Restoring your Bionic, there's a few options. You could look into "House of Moto", available on Droidrzr. It's an all in one Motorola script. And you can use it to save your internal SD data (Where your safestrap slots are stored)

You could download an FXZ for the Bionic and manually edit out the lines in the XML that refer to EMMC or EMStorage, since that is the internal SDCard and that's the one you need to save.

You could look for a flashable zip of stock and just flash that right over top of your current one without wiping data. Obsidian's got a thread on three different forums (Rootz/DroidRzr/Droid-Hive) that probably has a link to the deodexed flashable zip.

You could pull the stuff you deleted out of a backup of your stock slot if you made one. Or flash the backup.

The easiest one would be to download the stock ROM and flash it

The second easiest would be to use the FXZ and edit the .xml file to ONLY write to the system partition, since that's the only one you need to fix.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arana1:
thank you , couldnt find a flashable stock rom, i have the fxz already so i think editing the xml would be a good idea if only i knew what to comment out.

thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
You only want to keep THIS line out of all the ones inside that group of "step operation" at the end of the file. There's like 22 operations, and all you want is to flash the system. You WILL lose root.

<step operation="flash" partition="system" filename="system.img" />

Did anybody grab the Safestrap 3.63 apk for the Targa (Bionic) from Goo.im while it was briefly available last month?

Goo.im is missing all sorts of stuff now, and Hashcode's other site ( http://downloads.crackflasher.com/?dir=Devs/Hashcode0f ) is missing 3.63 for the Bionic. It is there for the RAZR and Droid 4, but only up to 3.60 for the Bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
Never even saw it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] guyincog:
It was only up for a day or two in mid October before Goo.im started having troubles, and doesn't seem to be posted anywhere else. I should have grabbed it when I saw it. Maybe I'll PM Hashcode to see if he can re-post it somewhere.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KC69:
It was on crackflashers last I saw it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrk190:
Yeah, a ton of stuff has broken on goo.im lately. Gapps were gone, Samsung phone radios, all sorts of stuff. If you're hosting on there or have anything you need, make a backup.

Aha ,thans for you efforts ! Waiting for cm11 !
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
Well, since Hashcode and Dhacker have dropped support for OMAP devices (this means our Bionics, the Razrs, D4, and I think D3) ... you're going to be waiting until other devs piece something together by standing on the stepping stones they've left behind for us. I know quite a few of us are working on it, but I haven't heard of anyone that's gotten a working build yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
Ok, so I am only just now backing up my ROM with 3.65 and I see "Breaking backup file into multiple archives..."

This is new, and I feel silly for not digging into the options and settings to know it was going to do that!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arana1:
he dropped support? awww , well thanks to him for his efforts anyway, where did he announce this? care to share the link? coz i just saw his latest build for targa cm11 is dated 26/11
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
I don't have the link to the Google+ post offhand but it was posted there that official OMAP support was dropped, as well as on Twitter.

DHacker's twitter post that shared the original link to the CM11 builds specifically states that he's not supporting them in any way, so don't ask.

You know, getting your panties in a bunch like that can be really dangerous. If you ever decide to pull your head out of your ass, you could strangle yourself.

The don't ask part were DH's words, not mine. If you want to tell him to piss off, I'm sure he'll gladly stop working on any ROMs again. It wouldn't be the first time he got pissed over someone being ungrateful or demanding and just washed his hands of android development for a month or two.

Can I remove current safestrap version without removing my Rom from Slot 3? Install new SafeStrap and have my Rom still be there and ready to go?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
Yes. Uninstall recovery from the old app. Uninstall the app. Install updated version. Install recovery. Your slot will survive.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] NWKENT:
Yep..I agree..but maybe also consider making a SafeStrap backup of that slot, copy your backup to storage, (computer HD), then you just restore your backup to your new slot..(as a safety precaution)..if something goes wrong..but I agree with your advice 100%.. :)

Fail to fatory reset

Okay so I am completely new to the whole safestrap thing. I come from the Samsung side and am doing this for a friend of mine. Whenever I am on the ROM in slot 1 I am completely unable to mount /data or /system and as such am unable to do a factory reset. Is this normal behaviour or is there something that I'm missing on how to mount these partitions? I've been looking around and searching for that last few hours and have come up with nothing so a little help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advane.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
You're trying too hard:) Just create the slot which it sounds like you did and flash whatever rom zip with install and just make sure you're IN the slot meaning pick the slot you want and pick activate. The mounts are automagically done for you. Then install and as a caution just make sure if you need gapps or not and which ones and such and and that's basically it. You can add the rom then the gapps and do them as a batch too. PM me if you get hung up.

Sent from my Bionic

I just re-read and if you're saying you are actually booting fine and just want to do a factory reset you can do that under wipe.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] budfarmer420:
Factory reset

Yea I have everything booting perfectly fine but whenever I go to do a factory reset it says that it failed because it couldn't mount the /data and /system partitions.

Are you trying to do it in the os? Just do it in SafeStrap instead.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] budfarmer420:
Factory reset

I was trying to do it from safestrap but was unable to. I rebooted to safestrap and was completely able to mount both /data and /system in order to do the reset. No idea why I had to do it that way but I got it so no worries. lol. I definitely appreciate the help man will be hitting the thanks button.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
Just an added bit of info, a factory data reset would be wiping /data and /cache, but not /system

All user specific data is stored in /data. That's why it's there. Device manufacturers create their system partition and flash it to the device at manufacture (more or less), and we're not meant to be able to modify that unless it's via manufacturer OTA. If you wipe /system and try to boot, you're not going to have an OS to boot to.

Because Android functions in the same way whether it's the manufacturer's stock ROM or a custom ROM, you don't wipe /system for a data reset, unless you plan on reflashing a ROM immediately after.

You have to be rooted first on stock to install safestrap then install roms which will include root. You have a variety of ways to root stock depending on whether you have ICS or JB.

I've had great luck with 3.65. I need it for CM11 too though. If you're just getting a fail when trying to fix permissions, it seems like I've had that fail before but it was because I wiped first or something weird. I can't remember exactly but it might not hurt to reboot, let the rom come up, then reboot to ss and fix permissions and see if it works.

If you delete the safestrap settings file, it might help. That always does for me when it errors out on creating the actual .img files.

I want to say they're at /sdcard/.twrps <-- Rename it from within the ROM, then reboot to recovery and try to make a backup.

That did it. I don't know how I've used it this long and never run across that yet. Thanks

Sent from my Bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
I have absolutely NO idea why it does that sometimes, but it's an easy enough fix. And all you really need to do is reset things like your time zone and other miscellaneous settings you might have changed after you delete the old settings file. I've never had luck deleting the settings file from within safestrap, since it rewrites it. When you delete it from the ROM, it recreates the file the next time you enter the recovery.

Updated OP for Safestrap v3.72 for Bionic

[Motorola Droid Bionic] KC69:
Thanx Hashcode. Your awesome partner. All my 3.65 backups restore just fine on 3.72. Best one yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Just put it in, though noticed something odd.

My "daily driver" is CM10.1.2 in slot 1. I have "stock rom" in well, stock ROM.

I just downloaded 3.72 APK, and sideloaded it onto the Targa.

I ran the existing Safestrap and it says "Not installed"?

But I ran the "uninstall" any way, and it worked?!

So I deleted the app from launcher...

Then with filemanager, opened/installed the 3.72 APK, installed with no problems. Then "install recovery".

After that, STILL says "not installed"?

Boots to safestrap no problem. Verified everything is there.

Boot to system, ran Safestrap... It still states: "State: Not installed Safe System: Active"

:confused:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobe1976:
To update SS properly you have to first like you did boot into stock and uninstall recovery through the current SS APP. Then go into app settings clear both data and cache then uninstall app. Reboot device to ensure that SS is cleared out, the SS splash screen shouldn't display. Then install new SS app and grant SU permissions and install new recovery. I also delete both SS and TWRP folders on internal storage. Keep backups on external always.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Installing this proper also solved the AROMA install problem I had when installing the JBX kernel. Somehow JBX kernel install in recovery was giving me "Status 7" errors. That's due to the recovery actually is NOT 3.72, as I didn't install it right because I didn't do it from StockROM. :p

I'd make sure your SD is showing up in Stock rom and or reseat it. I've had my card go missing when nothing new happened and I hadn't even had the phone open. If it's not that then I'm not sure because everything automatically shows up for me in SS without mounting manually.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] splatoid:
Ok First off I just want to thank Hashcode for this great recovery. Next I just wanted to ask for some input on what I have done and how to proceed from this point. I Flashed Safestrap 3.73 and the flashed the slimkat rom. Everything went great and this rom is running very smooth without any errors that I can see so far. What I did is before I flashed the new Rom I made a backup of the stock rom. I believe its on the internal sdcard. Then I flashed my new Rom. I really didn't pay attention and flashed the new rom over the original so now the slimkat is considered the stock rom.

This is fine with me because the stock rom sucks anyway but when I wiped everything I don't have the Safestrap app in my app drawer anymore but it still is installed and working. How can I get the app back. Should I just reinstall it or will that cause me some problems. Sorry for being so long winded. thanks for all the work you continue to do.

How do you go about flashing a rom into a specific slot?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
You need to 'activate' the specific slot (create it if you haven't already) then simply restore or install into that. The top should say "currently active: rom-slot1" or something like that.

If you did make a backup, it's on your SD somewhere, could be internal or external.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] splatoid:
Thanks I found it on the internal. I did create it just haven't installed to it yet. S I'll be able to boot from either right?

Might just be me, but has anyone had any issue with CM11 from 5/18/2014 not installing due to SELinux security failures causing the zip to not be able to open? 5/17 CM is just fine. Might be something with the way the build bot packages zips.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
You boot from the active one. If you want to swap, just boot into recovery, then activate a different slot.

Can't have multiple rom slots

Hello, strange problem with SS 3.73

It all seems to work fine with 1 slot, but if I create another slot and then install another rom (slot 2) I then cannot seem to activate and boot slot 1. Whenever i try, SS crashes and the phone reboots, reloading slot 2 again.

Everything seems fine if I just create another slot, but it gets borked if I actually install anything on the other slot.

If I go to an empty slot and look at freespace, it looks like the 1st slot is gone, because I have lot of free space. That is, the free space it says I have to create slot 3 is the total space, less slot 2's size.

I am using LiquidSmooth versions on both slots (4.4.2 roms), if that helps.

Any ideas?
