[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
you were too quick, I edited in:

If you mean a NANDROID backup (done in recovery mode/backup) apparently 3.x cannot use 2.x backups/restores

and I have reverted and got back to where I started, though actually used SS v1.09 cause I had it. Not sure where 2.00 went.

I swear I saw somewhere that nandroids made with 2.x would not restore with 3.11. I only started this mess because I am seeing some weird Goolge errores (services, location setting unavailable, etc) that made me think I may want to move from ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
I think you may be referring to the move from the standard CWM recovery to TWRP. The backup methods have changed with the newer recovery, but you should still be able to get to them with TWRP...

If the reason you're trying a new boot manager is due to google errors, I think you're barking up the wrong alley, since that's a application problem, not a booting problem.

For that I would recommend to clear the app data for Google Play and associated apps. Also, it would be a good idea to check on the Google forums and other such places for help. ;)

I myself haven't been able to update any applications for the past two weeks due to some kind of RPC error. (RPC:S-5:AEC-0).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
boot manager update a preparatory step to OS upgrade. Blackwidow DEV wants 3.11 onboard before flashing.

And I tried clearing data and caches of PLAY and SERVICES and still getting some weird errors.. Not pleased with the ''new and improved' google maps either.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Yeah, they certainly moved a lot of things around with the new Maps. But anyways, we're getting off topic. ;)

I would recommend that once you're ready, make a full backup of everything you have and offload that data onto another location (computer whatever), install SafeStrap (or BootMenuManager ;) ), install the new ROM, check that it's stable, and if you feel lucky you can use Titanium Backup to restore Data from your apps after reinstalling them from the Play Store.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kikzz:
hello...

i got a problem with safestrap...

whn creating a rom slot, its take some space from internal memory ( ex. slot 1 with 1gb, its takes about 1.6gb partition..)

my question is, can i delete the slot ??

& wht happen to the partition space..??

thankz..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
You're not taking into account the partitions for data and cache (which you could see inside the slot directory).

Of course you can delete the slot, you would only lose that slots' rom and data.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kikzz:
thankz for da rpl...

so its mean i can take bak partition space that taken from internal memory...??

:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
The purpose of SafeStrap is to allow one to use custom Roms outside of the OEM system. In other words, the System ROM will always be there. Adding more slots = adding more systems = taking up space.

If you no longer need to ROM (say, Slot 1), then you can freely delete the associated folder, providing you understand that that ROM will no longer be present on your device (because it was deleted) and all apps associated with it would be deleted as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] recDNA:
Any chance developers will build any new roms for safestrap in xt926 locked?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Not sure, I don't have that particular device and I don't build ROMs. But there are many roms that support the requirements as far as I know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] recDNA:
Ya, but no new ones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
As far as I know, any rom based off of a recent version of CyanogenMod should also be fine. ;) It won't hurt anything to try a new ROM, worst thing that can happen is that the Kernel won't boot.

I've had multiple reports it isn't possible to use any roms but those based on stock. The reasons would be too complicated for me anyway. A bootloop is a big deal for a noob like me. Thanks anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1droidmod:
Cool, keep in mind with safestrap if you boot loop all you have to do is a hard reset and wipe the slot you were on.. And try something else, thats why u have slots. This will never effect your stock rom.. You will ways have it.. As long as you dont mess with stock.. Once not too long ago I edited my stock framework and learned hard way not to mess with stock.. Good Luck and do your research, its fun and becomes very easy..

[ DOUBLE-CHECK you have the "Spyder" 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

[08/30] (3.50) Complete re-write against TWRP 2.6 base (up from version 2.2.2.1): TWRP changelog for reference

Well hash coder has released 3.51 to fix a few bugs.

I have been all over the map with 4.3 4.2 BBM SS Stock lot on both JBX kernal versions.

After 2 weeks I've found bad battery life on 4.3 for a few different reasons but with my maxx battery and greenify I can get buy on 12-18 hours.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Brantuck84:
Sounds like my experience with 4.3 first couple of releases had great batt life with ss but recent releases it hasn't been so good but when I went to 3.5 it just went to the crapper. I also use jbx and I as I said b4 the exact setup on ss got crap life but on bmm it great and I'm wondering if it has to do with the virtual slots as I've heard a lot of bad and good things about using them. I too have a maxx and if I can get 6-7 hrs screen time I'm happy and I'm really happy if I get through a full day with that. You said you get 12-18 hrs what's your screen time avg?

You might like giving 3.51 SS a shot hash said 3.5 was buggy.

Also as for speed on stock vs slots SS vs BBM I can't really tell. The ROM is always fast in the begging Xp
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Brantuck84:
That's sounds about right for me I use automateit to turn my data off while my screen is off so I may get a little more than that. But hey man thanks for sharing your experience I am for sure gonna try 3.51. Now I'm wondering since I already have PAC on the stock partition if I can just uninstall bmm and install ss without issue.

Not a problem I ended up not trying it as i don't think the latest nightly of PAC can be run from the stock slot on ss without changing the ramdisk.IMG b/c that's the way I got it to boot anyway. I thought that might be possible since you can now update ss on any slot. It may work once all the ROMs get up to date with the changes (I think please correct me if I'm wrong)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryankliber:
I'm eager to try the new SS, but I've come to love awesome beats, and the new versions are aroma. I heard SS might support aroma in the future, but for now is there a fairly easy workaround? Perhaps a way to copy files from the beats zip to the rom zip, or else a way to get rid of aroma and make a beats zip that I can modify to install the black icon, with the unofficial cm base option with no aroma? Guess I could go back to older (v3) which isn't an aroma zip, but audio quality is better on v5. This is the only thing holding me back at this point..any advice is helpful advice.

try to wipe cache and dalvik cache again. (it should optimize apps again just once after the first restart)

if it doesn't help, wipe again and write the latest rom and gapps again. (it should optimize apps again just once after the first restart)

if doesn't i guess you have to backup and wipe data\factory reset also.

Hey pals.

I've got a problem. When I want to restore backed rom slot,there is no backups to choose in Safestrap 3.53. I'm sure,they're in the TWRP/BACKUPS directory,but Safestrap isn't showing them from some reason. Any ideas?

Thanks A lot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Boot up, use a file explorer to go to the twrp/backup folder & you will see a folder in there marked as "00000000000", in addition to all the folders from your backups. Just move your backups into the "0" folder & ss3.53 will find them.

Or, while your in recovery, make sure your looking at the correct storage location. I've noticed that 3.53 defaults to internal storage for backups.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Majkus_:
Ehm.. There is no similar folder. Just the backed ROMs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Oops, my bad. The 00000000000 folder is in the twrp/backups folder. For ss3.53 to see any backups, they have to be in that 000000000 folder.Make sure you check both sdcard & sdcard-ext in recovery. Are you coming from ss3.11 or bmm? What file explorer are you using?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Majkus_:
Still no luck. This folder doesn't exists. I've checked both cards with CM FileManager and Total Commander,same result. I'm coming from SS 3.11. What's the exact name of the folder? What if I just create the folder and move the backups into it? Could it works?

Thanks A lot! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
How did you upgrade your safestrap? Did you do it from your stock side? I would try that first, go to stock, uninstall recovery, uninstall app, reinstall app & reinstall recovery. I upgraded from the stock side & had the same issue with not seeing my previous backups, until someone in one of these threads mentioned that other folder in the backup folder and how ss3.5xx references that for backups. Once I put all 3 of my previous backups into it I could find them from the restore option of ss3.53. Don't really know much else to suggest.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlintz:
Noob alert here,

I've been out of the flashing game for over a year now and coming back to this forum I can tell things have definitely changed. I'm looking for some direction on how to install Safestrap Recovery. I rooted my XT912 in June 2012 but have no idea which method I used or if I even have a recovery installed...all I know is that it was much simpler to root than my Dinc a couple years before that. I've found a "clockworkmod" folder on my card but that's about all I know, I don't believe I have an actual CWM recovery installed...at least anything that looks familiar.

Could someone tell me where to start? I've got the latest Safestrap on my phone's card but I'm hesitant to install it until I know whether there's anything I need to remove/uninstall beforehand. As I mentioned I'm not seeing anything that looks like an installed recovery but I honestly haven't done anything but run the stock OTA since I rooted.

Thanks.

Doug
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tester5224:
It's easy. just follow the instructions.

and yes, make sure you don't have other custom recovery installed. If there is, you should see some different logo during on every boot process just after the initial motorola's logo and before motorola's animation.

and better update SuperSU application and root before starting. Look on play store for the same root app that you have installed, update it, open it, and select to update.
