will safe strap 3.73 work on android 4.0.4? verizon droid bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobe1976:
It should but if you want to load up any stock based 4.1.2 ROMs you need to update you stock side first... I would get that done anyways but that's just me

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
You're fine. Just don't use any "JB stock-based ROMs".

I went straight to CM11 or SlimKat. Until I accidentally smashed the phone without my case on (otherwise it should have survived). The replacement had JB on it. But I installed CM11 rightaway.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theistus:
So I think I may have figured out my problem - I was using SS 3.73 to create slightly larger system and cache partitions, and I think this was causing the problem. When I used default size for system and cache (700mb and 300mb) the problem went away. Odd problem though
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dirtdawg57:
I had this same problem! I could not activate slot one at all after leaving it. I will try your solution. You said you left the system and cache sizes alone but were you able to extend the data size past 3gb? I too messed with all 3 but I hope I can at least make the main data partition bigger than 3 because I store a lot of apps! Thanks for posting this!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
I go 1GB system 3.5gb data and 500mb cache slot 1 and never have problems but I remember when he posted this I think he tried most other stuff. If you haven't yet, delete the .twrps file inside the twrp folder on sd0 from safestrap advanced file manager and reboot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theistus:
Well, I've been leaving system and cache sizes alone, and making sure to not mess with swapping rom slots while I an plugged into a charger/USB port, and I haven't had the problem since. Dunno what made it go away exactly, just going with it since it works, lol.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SyCoREAPER:
I have mine mostly maxed out and no issues. (Except the other day when I did accidentally delete the Unsafe Side) :cyclops:

System is 1GB

Cache is 500 or 750mb (can't remember)

Data is somewhere around 6.5GB
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
I went down to 372 because the fix permissions seems to do something whereas in 373 it just kinda goes black screen after a bit. Anyway I've always been conscious of the flipped around advanced wipes except for last night when I went back to 373 and was dozing off and nuked my SD. Moral is do factory swipe and system separately when tired:)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KC69:
Wow, I did that Once, but I also got my internal. That was a bad day, and night. Had to fxz and reroot. Ya the fix perms is the #1 reason I went back to 3.72.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theistus:
Yah, I've screwed the pooch that way too. Do not like the wipe setup on 3.73.

Prior versions had a quick wipe cache/dalvik that was much safer
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Oggie7797:
I'm still on 3.72 never did update to 3.73 lol the way I look at it is that everything on it works so I don't see much of a need to upgrade. I love the quick wipe cache/dalvik option. Is that really gone in 3.73??

can i please get some help?

I just got a used bionic, got it rooted and try to install safestrap recovery.

I dowloaded 3.73, installed the apk and install recovery.

when i reboot to recovery, it show a blank screen with some lines, doesnt show any instruction.

I pulled the battery, after power up, it is now stuck at the droid logo boot loop.

Any idea how to fix this? thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Oggie7797:
Sbf back to stock. Did you use the safestrap specifically for targa?

Tap'd from my Unicorn covered Bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cfli1688c1:
thank-you for the reply.

yes, i am downloading the FXZ file now to flash back with RSDlite.

I did install the targa safestrap, i was using: Safestrap-Targa-3.73.apk

is there another version i should use?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Oggie7797:
I use 3.72 and it works fine. How did you root? I used safe root. It works on the jellybean ota. If you need links there's a thread with a lot of tuts by root junky

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cfli1688c1:
well, i flash the 404 stock and got the phone back.

i then put on SS 372 and i can get into recovery, but after i reboot from recovery, it is again stuck at the droid logo.

this time is different than SS373, last time the droid boot loop was keep on playing the droid animation and sound.

with ss 372, it did the droid animation and sound and just stay at the droid logo, no more animation.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mentor.37:
Can someone tell me the size of the partitions /preinstall and /webtop for the xt875 targa? I built a SafeStrap's version for the xt894 and the xt912 in which i added a new slot that uses these unused partitions to install a rom.

If on the xt875 these partitions are enough big i can build for it a version of this mod of safestrap.

You can check their size with:

fdisk -l /dev/block/preinstall

fdisk -l /dev/block/webtop

#Postedit

It has been reported to me the size of these partitions:

/dev/block/preinstall: 318 MB, 318767104 bytes

/dev/block/webtop: 1397 MB, 1397751808 bytes

and unfortunately the partition /preinstall is too small for to be used as second /system and for this i can't provide my version of safestrap for the xt875, i'm sorry.

Anyway i can tell you that some days ago i built a versione without the splashscreen at boot time for several devices, xt875 included, if interested you can find it here.

webtop

I'm not sure if this is a safestrap issue or my rom but everyone else on eclipse 2.1 is having no problems with webtop. so under my safe system with eclipse if I try and boot to webtop my phone reboots, but under my stock 901 unsafe system it works fine. any ideas or what I should try? webtop2sd does not even show a webtop partition for me to setup under my safe system.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] nukeboyt:
Are their any ROMs that work with safestrap where webtop does work (either by HD dock or hack)?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Got a quick question: Apparently, I need to free up some space on my /emmc but, being noobish at this, I'm not sure where to look on the device (i.e., without just wiping the whole thing in recovery). Is that just the same directory as /mnt/sd, or is it something else? I can't find "/emmc" anywhere on the Bionic via Root Explorer.

Thanks!

Okay, I uninstalled Bionic Bootstrap, then installed Safestrap. I did get the splash screen, but no matter what I did, it bootlooped. Haven't seen anything on this. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
I used safe strap this morning had eclipse 2.1 running in non safe, toggled let it do it's back up flashed ics in safe sytem played a bit decided it wasn't enough to be a daily driver just yet so I go to toggle back to non safe, can't do it comes across an error trying to restore data

ok so I go in toggle safe mode without backing up try to flash eclipse in non safe only to be reminded I can't do that, so now I'm stuck in safe mode

at this point I'm about to fxz back to .893 unless there's a way to get it to restore my back up, and get back to non safe

eta: okay can't fxz because my computer can't recognize my phone is this normal while in safe mode?

can I just uninstall safe strap, reinstall boot strap, and flash from there?

eta #2: used my brain and copied my backup from sd-ext to sd, if it can't restore non-safe from sd-ext why even have the option to save it there?

last bit was said while frustrated I have cooled down, and removed it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] waffleb051:

has anyone had an issue when safe strap is enabled the phone not booting up or the phone not allowing you to restore from a backup because of md5 hash mismatch
[Motorola Droid Bionic] edwards2243:
I'm having the same problem. How did you fix your issue?!

Edit: After I backed up from the "unsafe" system, I tried to boot in the "safe" system, but got stuck before the splash screen even came up. I was able to disable the safestrap and boot up again, but really want to flash eclipse!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] docluv01:
Hey guys, so im looking how this backups the original system and safe system...

in teh sdcard, theres a safestrap folder, in it an "orig" folder and "safe" folder.

If I wanted to swap what was primary and what was safe, is it safe to assume all I need to do is swap the data.ext3.tar files? or is there more to it?

Also, any way to get safestrap to save thesefiles on the external sd?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
You could always go on your computer or Root Explorer and move files and around and rename them if you wanted.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
I'm interested in setting up my work's Exchange account, which requires encryption and passworded-unlocks. Would I be able to activate this on the stock ROM, while keeping my Safestrapped ROM untouched? That way I could switch back and forth between my "work" and "personal" ROMs.

(Alternatively, any way to add an Exchange account and have my phone tell the server it's encrypted and secured, even though it's not?)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] waffleb051:
I ended up having to go to Bionic Bootstrapper to fix my issue, i think it has to do with the way the phone sees the internal sd card, that or the charge of the phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sevron:
If I've already used titantium backup to freeze some bloatware, will I still be able to use safestrap? I'm wanting a stock rooted rom with frozen bloatware just in case and another ICS rom to dual boot into to check that out. Is that possible with safestrap?

And I need to be rooted first correct?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] libertus77:
Yes, you would have to be rooted. I can't personally how frozen bloatware would have any impact on Safestrap functionality. Should be fine. Just make sure you back up and don't have Bootstrapper installed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sevron:
Now which rom to try first...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
Just grab Eclipse. I went over to it and never looked back. IMO it's the closest thing to CM 7.2 we've got at the moment.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
I am currently on stock 902, I had to wipe everything and restart to get my phone to update to 902, I'm currently rooted though. Safestrap kept making my phone bootloop once I installed it again, and I'm guessing I don't have CWM installed any more, I need to get a recover to work so I can start back flashing some ROMs. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Or does safestrap only work on custom ROMs. What would happen is when I would go into safestrap and enable safe system for this first time, it would do a backup and then reboot and begin boot looping.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Hashcode:
You'll need to install a ROM in Safemode or.. there's isn't anything to boot. (I might be mis-reading your post tho)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
Does Safestrap touch the partitioning on the MicroSD card? I'm wondering why my 16GB card is showing up as 8GB USB storage.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Hashcode:
No. Safestrap only uses the preinstall partition as a 2nd-system for booting. It doesn't do anything w/ the external SD.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
I found out the issue. The "USB Storage" in MIUI settings only displays the internal "sdcard" space. It doesn't actually show the external card usage, but the card is mounted and in use. Too bad ES File Explorer force closes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] superbalde:
OK quick question,

I was on an ICS ROM then I went into safe mode and installed Eclipse 2.2. I like Eclipse because it is extremely stable. How do I make this my default ROM? Do I just copy the data.ext3.tar file from the Safe folder to the Orig folder? Or is the other way around? Or is there a smarter/safer way to do what I'm thinking.

Thanks,

balde
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
When you apply a rom ZIP, it will be installed to either the safe or unsafe partitions, depending on whether or not you have Safestrap enabled or disabled. Are you saying you want to remove the Safestrap setup and flash only Eclipse to your phone? If this is the case, then you'll need to remove Safestrap entirely and use Koush's bootstrapper.

If you just want to install Eclipse to the Unsafe partitions, instead of the Safe partitions where it is now....why?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] superbalde:
Thank you for your quick reply rick. I'd like to put eclipse onto the safe partition as I'd like to try newer ICS ROMs when they come out and have eclipse always around as my backup since the dev for that ROM has said he will not be making any new versions. I might be asking the question incorrectly. Let me restate it.

I'd like to keep Eclipse as my main go to ROM but would like to be able to test out newer ROMs as they show up. What would be the best way to do that if I already have Eclipse loaded (switched to safe mode and then installed Eclipse)?

Thank you again,

balde
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
I gotcha, that makes sense. You want to use Eclipse as your daily driver in place of the stock ROM, and use the "Safe" partition (normally used for community ROMs) as a test area. You should be able to disabled Safe, wipe, and flash. If you want to be completely certain, wait for someone more familiar to answer. The way I understand it, however, is you can enable or disable Safe and then flash as normal. In this case you'd disable Safe (to point everything at the default partitions), wipe, and flash.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] superbalde:
I think you've got a great idea. I made a backup this morning of the Eclipse ROM set up the way I like it. I wonder if I disabled safe mode and then RESTORED that backup it would put it into the unsafe/orig area.

Again, thank you Rick, you've been a great help. Have a rad day.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
I think that will work, but you might want to do your research first.

Did i do something wrong?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tadiv:
I think I'm looking for the same thing - I want Eclipse as my - let's call it "protected" ROM (currently the rooted stock ROM is in the "unsafe" area and is protected) and I want to use newer ROMs in the "unprotected" area (the safe mode area)... I tried moving the .tar files and changing modes and that did not work (I think that not only is there the .tar file, but I think that there is actually 2 portions of memory)... I also tried flashing Eclipse while safe mode was disabled and upon reboot, I got the rooted stock ROM. Anyway, I have not been successful in making this work.

I hope that there is an answer other then removing safestrap, flashing Eclipse, then re-installing safestrap...

Does anyone have this answer?
