Hashcode, you have outdone yourself!

I really did not think anything could top bootmenu manager... But you have this is awesome!

Now this opens up even more possibilities. A talented hack could even make a mini rom with just the a mini ubuntu/webtop

VERY VERY COOL!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SubVirus:
I've always been a Bootstrap user, however with every update safestrap seems more and more appealing. I'm waiting for the OTA ICS and maybe even some fastboot files before i start up my rom flashing frenzy. Although it seems like i might not even have to wait if safestrap is really as safe as it sounds.

All in all nice work Hashcode i'll be keeping an eye on your work and may even throw some donations your way when i have fully absorbed myself in your software.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
Just installed and booted into the new v3.05 beta. After creating the first slot and going to Install, the "Select Zip to Install" prompt will only display the Internal storage, regardless of which radio button I select at the top. This is preventing me from flashing a ZIP from the external microSD card.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codygs83:
Thank u for posting this because it saved me a potential problem. Mine is doing the same thing so I left the zips to be flashed on the internal memory. Other than not seeing my external SD card..... this seems a thousand times more convenient and faster than any recovery I've tried! Great job :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Hashcode:
Can you try using "(Up a Level)" and then drill down into /sdcard-ext ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codygs83:
Haha! This confirms 2 things:

1. It worked like a champ and

2. I'm an idiot! lol

I'm guessing I was so excited to use this new ss I didn't even bother tinkering around in it.

Once again best and fastest recovery I've ever used! Makes flashing roms 10x easier and faster
[Motorola Droid Bionic] anarchian:
The latest update rocks! This feels like heaven for ROM addicts :laugh:

One question though, how do I 'reuse' backups from previous version?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SubVirus:
Revert to v2 to use v2 backups. v3 only works with v3 the op says
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
Yes. That worked. (At one point selecting sdcard-ext bounced back to the main Recovery screen, so there's a bug in there somewhere, but I was able to browse the external card this way.)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] adampa1006:
Is there like a step by step guide? I can't get any cm10 roms or aokp roms to work. Roms not based on those work though. Which is odd because I was on a cm10 ROM fine with 2.0 safe strap
[Motorola Droid Bionic] digitalr0gue:
Kexec or stock? Or both? Hashcode's blog has a guide updated to v3.04 last i looked. http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Obsidian_soul:
You need to update your safestrap .The latest aokp roms are designed to work hand in hand with version 3.04 or higher. They will not work on 2.xx safe strap.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] adampa1006:
yeah IM on 3.05. I'm typing this from the icarus ROM it's the only once I've gotten able to work. Like I said cm10 roms were working for me on safe strap 2.0 but now none of the new ones like evolve or wizzed bean will work. Installed 3.0.off a fresh fxz too. That's why I'm thinking I might be missing something because I've never had a ROM not work for me on my Bionic before.(just bad performance from AOKP based ones cm10 based was working good)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] jcwilliams:
Is there a way to run ROM slots from the ext sdcard yet? Or a app to do so?

I use to be all bootstrap but this recovery blows it away. Great work hash.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dragonstalker:
anybody got a copy of safestrap that works. All i'm getting when trying to install is parse failed.

Nevermind, Didn't use my own first rule.

READ!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sapienta:
dude how did you fix it ? I am getting the same error.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dragonstalker:
I used RSD Lite to install the ics update on the bionic. You have to have root or it won't run. So you will have to use the droidrazrroot.com_ics.zip to gain root..

Found a good working copy here. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_targa/list.php was the only place that seemed to have it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lance2ecnal:
Im new to ss (always used bootstrap) and want to try this. How do i get started?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
You can't do that. The locked bootloader forces you to stay on a particular kernel. If you're running Gingerbread Eclipse successfully, it's because of the Gingerbread kernel. An ICS ROM would look at the GB kernel, freak out, and not boot. Icarus is dependent on you having updated to some form of ICS.

If you're desperate enough to cling to keeping Gingerbread around as a possibility, you can FXZ back to 5.9.905 and find the leaked OTA to 6.7.232 which is the newest leak that'll support FXZ flashing back to Gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
That's not actually technically true anymore, although there isn't an available kexec-compatible gingerbread kernel, yet (and there probably won't be.) The ground-breaking feature the newer version of SafeStrap provided is the ability to kexec custom kernels, even with the locked bootloader. It essentially hijacks the kernel-loading process very early on, tricking the phone into booting a different kernel. Anyway, you're right it can't be done at the moment, but not for the reasons you think.

Download the APK Installer Here for "BIONIC, RAZR/MAXX and DROID 4"

md5sum: 546060f221487ed35cc2f023c7e5d0f1

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: How to Safestrap

[ DOUBLE-CHECK you have the BIONIC/RAZR/DROID4 VERSION ]

CHANGES:

[12/29] (3.11) Allow use of custom updater-binary in .zip files for flashing on stock ROM (virtual slots still use prebuilt updater-binary in recovery).

[12/29] (3.11) BUGFIX: Fixed fake flash error at the end of a .zip install. (No real error, .zip installs fine)

[12/29] (3.10) Early support for booting custom ROMs on stock partitions.

[12/29] (3.10) Enable flashing to stock ROM *BE CAREFUL -- NEW FEATURE -- STILL TESTING*

After .zip installations, nandroid restore or system wipe on the stock ROM: the current Safestrap files are restored to the system partition (Doesn't include the APK in /data -- so if you're restoring an old backup, be sure to update the Safestrap APK)

During the Safestrap files restore a check is done to be sure there are minimal files on /system to re-enter Safestrap

[12/29] (3.10) New virtual system partitions will be 640mb (closer match to stock RAZR/D4)

[12/27] (3.07) Bugfix: missed some changes in Safestrap 3.06

[12/26] (3.06) Bugfix/Update for JB4.1 OTA for DroidRAZR (Non-JB devices can also use)

Safestrap, fastboot files and Nandroid

Hi all,

I have a ME863 (China retail) which I appear to have successfully rooted, and installed Safestrap 3.05 from the Droid 3 link at http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/downloads/ . I want to install the HK/TWN ROM but want to play it safe and use Safestrap so I can easily revert if I have to. I have a couple of (ok three) questions which I've not found answers to yet and would appreciate some advice or at least URLs please:

1. Is the"backup' created in Safestrap a 'Nandroid' backup or specific to Safestrap?

2. Can I use the .zip found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288823) even though the file is named "ME863_SOLANAUMTS_SLNCU-60.1.101_Fastboot-CFC-service.xml.zip" [I assume that its originally built to be used with the fastboot method]?

3. If not is there any way to convert this zip into one which can be used with Safestrap?

Thanks in advance, and apologies if the answers are simple ones that my searches missed.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
Did you forget to go into SafeStrap app (not recovery) and uninstall recovery first?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mr. HQ:
Upgraded from SS 3.05 to 3.11 without any issues. Stock ROM (where SS is installed) is exactly that. OTA ICS 4.0.4 (.246)

Uninstall Recovery

Uninstall SafeStrap 3.05

Install SafeStrap 3.11

Install Recovery

Profit!

P.S. Don't **** it up! :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zeroxia:
Hello,

Can anybody point me to a custom ROM that can be flashed to the STOCK slot using SafeStrap 3.11?

I tried some, but won't boot into the system at all. It either stays black or just keeps boot loopping.

The space for Stock ROM is definitely wasted as most of the custom ROM's can't be installed there.

You need to open SafeStrap & select "Install Recovery"

It's an app you installed. Click the green SS icon & run the app.

Re: [RECOVERY] Safestrap Recovery v3.1 [12/29/2012 V3.11 - Stock Flash+]

To anyone wanting to run a custom blur rom on safeside:

From stock safe side, remove the safestrap recovery using the safestrap app.

Reboot, to make sure it does not show during boot.

Install BOOTSTRAP (Not the BPTools one)

Flash ROM. This will erase system and bootstrap.

Set up your ROM however makes you happy.

Install safestrap in your new ROM. Open the app and select "Install Recovery"

Profit.

Since bootstrap was overwritten when you flashed whatever you flashed, safestrap installs clean and simply. I did this with eclipse as my "stock" ROM
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Earl grey:
It was the reason.

I'm sorry, i thought the old owner keep the phone rooted.

I also have the same problem installed WiFi File Explorer Pro (I'm licensed) but got the same problem... downloads fine, package installer won't engage.

Checking storage says I have plenty of space in all 3 areas (233MB free in app storage, 4GB in internal, and 1GB in SDCard)

Any ideas?

A bit of dumb question about Safestrap Recovery...

If I read it correclty, the "recovery itself" (that pops up before the ROM kicks in) can be 3.11 (for Bionic), but the APP (that runs inside the ROM / launcher) still says 3.05, right?

Sometimes I go crazy like "do I have the latest Safestray?" when I really do. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Robehgo14:
embarrassed to ask this but I have too. I upgraded to official JB on Bionic, lost root. I need to be rooted prior to installing safestrap, correct? I know this is a dumb question, but I forgot since I did it so long ago.

Thank you for your help
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
You can install the safestrap app without being rooted, but to actually get it to install safestrap as a recovery you need to be rooted
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
There is the app, then there's the recovery installed by the app. Recovery needs root to install as it changes the boot code.

[ DOUBLE-CHECK you have the "Targa" version ]

NOTABLE TWRP-BASE CHANGES:

Screen saving in recovery. Can set the timeout under Advanced->Settings->Screen *Don't freak out of the screen is dark, try the power button.* Also, when the screen blanks while building a new ROM-slot, you can't wake it up till it's done. I'll fix that in the next version.

SElinux support in recovery (1st boot won't take so long)

and much much more.. check the TWRP changelog here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2

SAFESTRAP CHANGES:

[08/30] (3.50) If running a new CM10.1/CM10.2 ROM (08/30 or later) you *should* be able to install Safestrap and update the recovery w/o having to go back to stock. If Safestrap shows "recovery not installed" while you're on a ROM-slot, then that ROM hasn't been updated and it won't work. Swap back to stock ROM and update Safestrap from there.

[08/30] (3.50) Worked on stock ROM flashing and *should* work with CM10.1/CM10.2 builds on or after 08/30 *PROBABLY WILL NOT WORK WITH OLDER ROMs.*

[08/30] (3.50) Battery meter is back

[08/30] (3.50) Updated TWRP theme

[08/30] (3.50) Added partition sizes to ROM-slot screen when it's ACTIVE

[08/30] (3.50) Added "Check FS" function to ROM-slot screen when it's ACTIVE

3.5 is working fine for me, I went back to stock and uninstalled the older version rebooted and installed the newer one, twrp 2.6 is awesome and it seems much more responsive, all problems that have been reported are there, one thing I noticed is that capaciitive buttons dont turn off when the screen locks but thats no big deal, I didnt have to change anything on romslot 1 my previous slot simply transferred over to the new version. Great work Hashcode you da man, may I ask if a Droid 3 version will be happening I know the 3 is really EOL for most people as I too have upgraded from mine but its still a great media player
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
Same here. I didn't risk doing it from inside my cm slot, since I'm about 750 miles from my PC at Dragon Con in ATL. Switched to stock, installed the app, installed recovery overtop of the "old version" it was reporting, and rebooted into cm. Worked fine.

Have since backed up the slot and flashed the current nightly. Also working fine
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
It worked fine for me inside my slot 1 but I went and upgraded it in my stock slot too but it showed recovery current so it just upgraded the app like normal. My backups are in a 0000000000 folder so I had to move my old ones but that's the only hiccup so far.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
With the ability to have slots in the first place, it seems only common sense to leave the stock slot alone. At the very worst, you could flash over it with a stock based ROM or something if you've got a stable one. Before I upgraded stock from ICS to JB, I had Eclipse on my stock side. But I can't see any good reason to have such a lovely sandbox in SafeStrap and to then completely ignore it and play in your stock area
