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

Anyone knows how can we fix this? I can't flash any rom at all... tried several roms for ss3.11 and no one boots... it just shows the dead android. Tried uninstalling SS and installing again, removing files and installing again, creating romslots and deleting again, nothing works... i keep getting that same error...

hi, how can I wipe battery stat?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] medion:
@ Hashcode

Safestrape is an excellent development. Thank you for your hard work.

The only reason why I still use BMM is a is missing funktion in Safestrape.

As European GSM users (UMTS SPYDER) I had erease my CID with a Backup so that I can boot Custom ROMs with JB kernel.

Problem with Safestrape is, I must boot with BP-Tools. Advantage with BMM is, I can boot without BP-Tools.

Maybe it is possible for you to add these Feature to Safestrape. What do you mean?

Thank you in advance

How can i flash JB kernel with SS3 TWRP on slot 1?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] megawebmaster:
@minnaing - if you mean kexec version of CM 10.1 - as simply as every other ROM - just install, wipe and you are good to go. Especially - when you are coming from non-kexec ROMs I suggest to do the full wipe, otherwise you could be stuck without Deep Sleep state meaning really bad battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] VandyCWG:
Just upgraded to the JB 4.1.2 for Droid RAZR MAXX. With SafeStrap 3.11, none of the ROM slots boot, they all bootloop.

The stock slot works great, but nothing else will boot.

Should I uninstall SafeStrap? Any ideas?

What type of ROMs are you trying to flash? Some are for the jb christmas leak kernel .8 and the newer ones I've found are for the official ota .18

I am on the ota jelly bean update and that kernel. Whenever I try to flash a ROM(primarily aokp) it will get past the moto splash screen and then just a black screen? Any ideas what's wrong?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackops11252:
Has hascode ever repsoned to any of these problems. People have been have problems with safestrap 3.11 since it was release and he had never responed! It is a very unstable recovery system! I have tried posted in this forum, droidrzr forum, and hascodes own forum! Still no replies!

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

You must boot to bptools, and the usb storage will not work if you boot through that

i recommend you to install Boot Menu Manager recovery from playstore so you can boot without bptools and also the usb storage will work

Try deleting the ROM slot and recreating it. Right now I'm running black widow HDish in slot 2 and CM10.1 in slot 1

Every now and than when I update one of them I have that issue and have to delete the ROM slot keep titanium backups as well hope this works for you
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dano1282:
Love me my CM10.1 I was able to flash some of the inverted apps from the JusTunes. by doing a backup of the originial app and then pushing it system/app. the inverted Contacts app works..but when I view contact it says 'unfortunately contacts has stopped responding yadda yadda' The reason Im asking is that the JusTunes also has an Aroma installer. How do I go about getting it to work with SS3.11 The directions on his thread are quite vague I tried to install it the same way I installed the rom and gapps..but it fails. I know im doing something wrong or missing something. Or are there compatibility issues between Aroma and SS? Do i have to install something else in the actual rom to get Aroma working?

Edit: I got it to work. I uninstalled SS and installed BMM...regardless the inverted contacts app still causes a crash when I try to view a contact...soo i uninstalled BMM and reinstalled Safestrap as I like it better..easier to figure out.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
Hi - asking for a little help here, too. I'm on the JB OTA, CDMA Razr Maxx - 98.72.16.xt912. I've recently installed SS 3.11, going through the instructions on http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/. SS says:

Recovery State: Installed

Safe System: Not Active

When I reboot, I see a quick blurb on a black screen:

E: Missing bitmap background-nonsafe (Code -1)
E: Missing bitmap background-safe (Code -1)
E: Missing bitmap background-blank (Code -1)

... goes to black screen for about 10 seconds, then reboots normally. Can't seem to get SS to start. Am I missing something here? The install looks very straightforward (yes, I clicked Install Recovery, which didn't work. Tried Uninstall Recovery / reboot / Install Recovery and it still doesn't work). Hmph... Any help / suggestions here?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackops11252:
any fix for the sd card not mounting in safestrap. Not being able to select sd card for backups. Or about the black screens when trying to restore a backup.

I really think Hashcode as giving up on the Razr. He has safestrap Version 3.12 for RazrHD though. I think where out of luck.

Why is the size of partition system 640 MB ? Is there a way to increase it ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] raziel23x:
The reason it is set to 640 MB is because that is the Standard size for the OS and because of other requirements and checks I hope someone else who knows more can add to this explanation more

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

You could try resize2fs, it's a tool to grow ext2/3/4 filesystems. I haven't tried this, though. Our you could simply create a larger image file, format it and restore backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] campo8558:
Ok, I think there is no way to increase that. I tryed to make a system.img bigger than 640M. At the begining I deleted the system.img made by Safestrap, then I made my own system.img, I mounted the system.img but the size of the mounted system is always 640MB :

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

Hey I was wondering if one day you could add a secreity lock on the safe strap boot screen to prevent someone from getting into the phone and possibly messing things up? Just wondering its no biggie if not thanks for all of your work
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Majkus_:
Re: [RECOVERY] Safestrap Recovery v3.1 [12/29/2012 V3.11 - Stock Flash + FIX] [ALL RA

So do I. That would be awesome. When someone borrows my phone it's bad feeling to know they could mess it completely. Maybe requirement to push two button together or volume rocker after choosing menu could make it much safer? Just guessing, I don't know if it's even possible.. Thanks for all the great job!

is it right that i can't install thinks with aroma installer? cause i have gapps with it where i can chose the apps i need and delete apps i don't use.

Is this a safestrap problem?

There is an log attached.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackops11252:
That would be nice!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nickhimself:
I agree with this.

I'd also really, REALLY like to see an option to change the recovery menu time period to a user defined length, rather than the set 10 seconds it currently is.

Really, 2 seconds is more than enough time to get into recovery since you're either GOING to be entering it on purpose, or you just want your phone to boot normally. Having to wait 10 seconds seems like a really silly issue to feel conflicted over, but really, it's an option available in BMM so I don't see why it can't be implemented into SS as well.

Stuck with Battery on boot

SO...when i power up my phone I get the Motorola icon for about 10sec, then an orange battery.

power+vol down for 6secs or so makes the screen flicker and then go blank.

Occasionally

the phone will power up to bootstrap and run properly (CM10.1).

What am I missing ?

[edit] may have to do with phone being on charge ? ideas ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Not a newb, but I've run across something strange with 3.11. It won't perform backups any longer from any slot. I can access both internal & external storage and install from either so I don't think its a mounting issue. When I attempt a backup, it starts then almost immediately exits back to the home screen. I even tried reverting to stock, uninstalling/reinstalling recovery & starting from scratch. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikee05:
Guys,

someone please help me to inform me how to uninstall this safestrap.

really appreciated for the reply.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tomsgt:
Boot to stock rom then open safe strap app and in the app click uninstall. Then you can delete the app. Also on the sd card delete the twrp folder

1. Boot into safestrap

2. Select stock slot

3. Reboot

4. Open safestrap from the app drawer

5. Click uninstall recovery

6. Reboot

The only way I could fix it was to completely delete any sign of safestrap (the ss folders & twrp folder from int/ext storage) after uninstalling recovery & apk from my stock (unsafe) ROM. I then formatted internal storage & rebooted, then installed it all again. Now it works.

im having trouble with something

ive wanted to try other roms but if i have one slot with a rom the stock and try another i start getting low on free space warnings ive made all of my slots on the 1gig setting to save space

when i move safestrap to the sd card will i be able to run the program correctly ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
I'm having a similar issue.

If I allow the phone to boot normally, I see the SafeStrap logo (mentioning how to enter the recovery), and about 6 seconds after the vibration (I'm assuming this is the "now booting kernel" signal), the droid reboots. This process continues (repeating the bootloop) for a while until magically the rom loads as if nothing is wrong.

The sad part is that since ADB hasn't even had a chance to start, I can't grap a logcat or anything at all that can help me figure out what's going wrong.

I'm thinking it's some sort of mount error (not sure if the ROM i'm using is flushing and unmounting the system partitions etc before reboot), but I can't really tell.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] recDNA:
Nothing there. Any other suggestions? Do people still use this with unlock and custom recoveries available? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Blog moved, as it says in the homepage of the above link Use This instead.

As for the usage, I still use BMM/SS, it's very useful in my opinion. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KMSAlex:
Ummmm I don't think there are any unlocks for the omap Droids... Looks like your positing from a RAZR HD which this thread isn't for ( I know it says all Razrs but it says in the first post Bionic, RAZR/Max, droid 4).

Am I off base hear guys?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dave5777:
Hashcode would it be possible to make a safe strap for the S4 Active? There already is a bootloader bounty I think safestrap would qualify. I used it on my RAZR MAXX and loved it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
I've been wondering at this as well, since the whole point of safestrap was to keep stock available while allowing other roms...

I think the main thing is to get an entry point before the kernel has loaded the normal rom... but since I'm not versed in how the program works this is all speculation.

For what it's worth, it seems that the "hijack_bin" aka /system/bin/logwrapper is present on the Active, so I suppose that it is theoretically possible to do this, since that's one of the key things that launch SafeStrap as far as I can tell.

Now, call it a hunch, but we would need to get the rest of the binaries compiled correctly for our system (another thread mentioned TWRP for the Active was in progress on the International Version?) So things are looking up.

I'm going to try and see if I can fiddle around with the current files and see what happens... If I just execute the replacement logwrapper it won't break anything, right?

First Thoughts

After some poking and prodding, it appears that this is highly possible. The executable /system/etc/safestrap/safestrapmenu kinda launches (It can't get the framebuffer, invalid argument, and segfaults afterward). bbx seems to just be busybox.

I'm not going to try and see what happens if I actually install the logwrapper hijack file, at least not until I'm fairly certain I can ensure restoral through recovery. Maybe tomorrow. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
So, all in all it seems doable!

what do I do when there is safestrap folder on both sd's?

EDITED:

I already have a safestrap folder on both SD and SD/ext, so I guess I'll rename the current one on SD/ext and move the current SD one to ext just to cover my butt. Sound good? I was just confused when I found one already existed on ext.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Your question is too vague. What are you trying to do?

Normally you don't have to do anything at all besides installing the app and clicking the install button, and watching the magic happen...

Unless of course, you're referring to some of us trying to get this working on the S4 Active...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
I edited my post... try again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
It's still not descriptive enough, but I'll shoot. Based on what you've said, it sounds like you have a safestrap folder on both the internal sd card and external sd card. I'm also assuming that the app is installed, and that you see the safestrap logo when booting up your phone.

The only thing you should need to worry about then is if you want your rom stored on the internal or external sd card. It doesn't really matter which, as safestrap doesn't care, as long as you understand which one it's going to use.

So, as far as I can tell, you should be fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
my original question included a quoted section from the OP in red no less. Did you read that? and factor in I was refering to it?

He suggests moving (before upgrade) Safestrap folder from SD to SD/ext. I went to do that and found that I had one on ext already. I have since asking my stupid and apparently unclear question, figured that I may have done some backups on both. so I renamed both and have them on my ext now and am about to upgrade.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Right. And I did read the quote, but that its purpose in your question wasn't readily understandable.

What is your end goal? Do you want the images stored on the external card or the internal card? Whichever you choose, that is where you want to have the safestrap folder. If you made backups before or not isn't really the issue (as far as I can tell).

That portion of the post you quoted merely points out a new feature. As a matter of fact, I have upgraded to the latest version without moving anything at all (rom folders still in the internal sd card) and have had no issues with the upgrade.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
So I thought I was ready to install new version of Safestrap, but this instruction in the 'if coming from 2.x' section of DEVs site says:

Go into the existing version of Safestrap and use the “Remove Recovery” button to remove the Safestrap files from the stock /system.

has me baffled. I don't see Safestrap as an app anywhere. Is it in my 'safe' side maybe? Gonna look now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Yes, it should be in slot 1, the primary rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
i am currently running ICS on safestrap 2.00 and a custom rom (black widow) on safe side. I want to upgrade to new safestrap and not lose my custom rom for now. Can I even do this? this is in preparation for upgrading to JB.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Safestrap is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible to the primary rom. Uninstalling and reinstalling should not affect anything.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
I meant to say is in UNSAFE (stock) side? And what do you mean slot 1? Isn't slots a feature of 3.11? I am still on 2.00

or does 2.00 consist of slot 1 and 2 (original and custom)?

SORRY. Finally decided to just install new one and it had button to remove old one Thanks for all attempts to assist me.

i cannof find an existing SAFESTRAP app on either side unsafe/safe. So WTF? How do I 'remove recovery' as instructed?

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

ARRRG.... I now have SS3.11 and I can boot to stock, but how do I get my custom rom back. It does not show any choices to use to RESTORE.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
You shouldn't have to restore. As long as the .img files are where they should be, SafeStrap should be able to find and load them like normal.

For example, a rom could be in /sdcard/safestrap/slot-1/

Inside such a folder there should be three files, named approximately system.img, userdata.img, and cache.img

Once you have that layout, you should be able to boot slot-1.

Of course, it can also be located in /sdcard-ext/safestrap/slot-1 (or slot-2, slot-3, slot-4)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
well when I try to boot with slot 1 active it says NO operating system...

the slots have those 3 files...

but I want to boot with the ROM i had in SAFE side of old SS. In that old folder is a *.tar file
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
Hmm, I must be more out of date than I realize then. I've moved on to BMM for some compatability issues, but the issue you're describing is not matching what I thought should have been the case.

As a test, can you try and activate Slot-4 inside the recovery and check where the files it creates end up at? I think that may be the key to finding out what's going on here. Also, if you have Skype I might have a little bit of time and we can chat in real time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
i tried creating slot 2 and it did. Had to wait for it to finish to check for those files you mentioned. both 1 and 2 had them, but I have to assume those are just some required base files. Did you go from an older (2.x) version of SS to new 3.x? Is it even possible to do that and restore whatever ROM was running in the SAFE side. That is what I am not able to figure out how to do now. I am about to go back to old version.

no skype, but thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
No, I wasn't on the droid scene when it was only 2.x...

If you want, you can go back to 2.x, make a CWM backup, upgrade to 3.11 and restore it back to slot 1. Since it's just files, this should theoretically work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumtrucker:
a CWM backup? If you mean a NANDROID backup (done in recovery mode/backup) apparently 3.x cannot use 2.x backups/restores
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
ClockworkMod. The normal method of backing up your system? Also referred to as a nandroid (even though that method is long deprecated).
