I think if you do not have an unlocked bootloader and you are using Safestrap you can not mix ICS and JB versions inside of Safestrap. Once you upgrade your phone with JB your phone takes the JB kernel so all the other Safestrap ROM slots need to contain a JB ROM. If you are running ICS and Safestrap you can try any ICS ROM but not JB because your phone is running the ICS kernel. If you have an unlocked bootloader you have more flexibility because you can change the kernel along with the ROM. I am not an expert so if I am wrong hopefully someone will add to the discussion.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
You're right. You can't use SS to flash JB overtop of ICS.

Recovery Leads to Red Triangle Android Dude

I have installed Safestrap 3.12 from the link at the top of this thread on my Droid Razr Maxx running JB 4.1.2. After installation, I ran Safestrap and created a recovery without any reported errors. However, when I boot into recovery, I do not get the safestrap options/menu. Instead I get a little green Android dude with his torso door open and a red triangle with Exclamation Mark hovering over him. Eventually, the phone then boots normally. This is all that I see when I run SafeStrap:

What have I done wrong? How do I fix this?

I want to install CM 10.1, but I can't do jack until i get Safestrap running.

====================================

EDIT # 3

OK.... so I figured out that I can press Vol-Up and Vol-Down simultaneously when I see the half-dead Android with the red triangle and it will take me into recovery --

but it's not into SafeStrap's recovery.

It's just the factory default recovery (Android System Recovery 3e).
[RAZR HD Android Development] an21281:
Did you install an older version of SS before? If so you need to click uninstall recovery in 3.12 and then uninstall the app itself in settings. Then install the older SS, open the app and click to uninstall. Then uninstall the old SS app in settings and reboot. Install 3.12apk, open up the app and click install recovery.

Also there is no special way to boot into SS, when you normally power on your phone a screen will pop up every time after the normal boot logo asking you to either hit recovery or continue to boot, within 10secs it continues by itself.

I think you may have tried to install the new SS 3.12 on top of the old one without actually hitting Uninstall Recovery in the older one first before you just uninstalled the apk itself.

You have to be on your stock slot to uninstall/install safestrap also... Not on a rom slot.
[RAZR HD Android Development] three west:
or perhaps since you are on 4.1.2 you are no longer rooted?

Will have to SBF back using the getvar trick?
[RAZR HD Android Development] SoonerLater:
I'm still rooted. I have verified that. However, I did not uninstall in the manner instructed, so that's my fault.

In the meantime, out of frustration, I uninstalled Safestrap (from within the app and from the app uninstaller), rebooted and then installed Boot Menu Manager. Once I got into that, I installed CM 10.1 into slot_2 (with no error messages). But despite this, it won't boot into slot_2, so something is still wrong.

I'm going to uninstall BMM, and delete the folders (if any) left behind by SS, then reboot and install SS 3.11 again and see if I can get it to work.
[RAZR HD Android Development] SoonerLater:
UPDATE: I've managed to get Safestrap 3.11 installed on my Droid Razr Maxx running JB 4.1.2. When I boot up, the SafeStrap menu does appear. However, I still can't create a new slot.

From the main screen, I select Boot Options, then select Rom-Slot-1. From there it proposes a 640 mb System Partition and a 260 mb Cache Partition and gives me the option of a 1, 2 or 3 gb Data Partition. However, it shows that there is only 96 mb of free space, so the Create ROM Slot button stays grayed out.

Do I have to manually repartition something before I can create the new slot?
[RAZR HD Android Development] an21281:
When you are booted on stock slot go to settings/storage. How much space do you have under internal storage?

You may have filled up your stock slot somehow. Did you download anything, movies/music...? If you have a lot of data downloaded and on you internal storage then you will have to move some stuff to the ext. sd card through a file manager. I use ES File Explorer.

If this is not the case and it shows that you have more internal storage under settings then when you are in safestrap, I am not sure what the problem is. You can try to wipe cache partition in stock recovery. Boot into stock recovery by holding Vol+ and Vol- together while pressing and releasing power and then release the Vol buttons. Scroll down using Vol- to recovery and push Vol+. It will go to the screen with android that has ! on chest where you will need to hold Vol- and toggle Vol+ to get to recovery screen. Scroll down w/vol- to wipe cache partition and hit power button to select.
[RAZR HD Android Development] SoonerLater:
I think something is not right with my phone. See the storage screenshots, below.
[RAZR HD Android Development] an21281:
Yeah, that is pretty strange to say the least. Is this the first time you have experienced this? If I were you I would get a file Explorer and check to see if there is anything abnormal. Check the safestrap folder on int. Storage(sdcard) . There should be an active slot file, but no rom-slot folders since you could not make create one because insufficient storage.
[RAZR HD Android Development] SoonerLater:

Is that screen shot what you need? I can't find a folder called /init or /init/storage.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Seems like the internal storage only has 48mb free (in the middle screenshot).
[RAZR HD Android Development] SoonerLater:
@ Haschode

Something doesn't add up.

The top screen says that I have 16 gb of total space

469 mb used for Apps + App Data + Media Content)

2.21 gb (~2263 mb) available for Apps + App Data + Media Content

Ergo, ~2732 mb (~2.66 gb) total allocated to Apps + App Data + Media Content

Internal Storage

69.08 mb Apps + App Data + Media Content

68.35 mb Pics & Video

212.0 kb audio

544 mb downloads

======

681.64 mb subtotal

40.7 mb available

======

722.34 mb total​

Where the heck is the rest of the 16 gb????

Something is wrong with this picture.

If this were a Windows system... I would open a command prompt and use the command Dir *.* /s >dir.txt to write to a text file a complete listing of every file on the system from the root down. I would then compare that data to what the Computer Management console reports about primary hard drive. But in this case, I don't know of a way to write a complete recursive DIR (LS) command out to a text file. It's like a bunch of my memory is missing or mis-allocated or something.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Hashcode:
all 16gb are not available for user storage..

there are 30+ partitions on the emmc, and only 1 is designated as data/sdcard space. That space should start with over 6gb free but is used by everything for storage.
[RAZR HD Android Development] SoonerLater:
Forgive me for being stooopid, but this seems to imply that the space we can use to create "slots" to install other ROMs must come out of the data/sdcard space. Is that correct?

Can anyone suggest a tool that would help me see how that >6 gb is currently being used so that I can decide what I might delete and what I might move to the ext-sdcard to make enough space available for me to create a new "slot" so that I can install CM 10.1? I mean, I can use ES Explorer or Root Explorer to recurse my way around through the /sdcard partition, but if there was a tool that would analyze it and export the results to a text file, that would be fantastic.

I think DiskUsage will do what you need. If you've used WinDirStat on Windows, it basically does the same thing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage

Safestrap is meant for a locked bootloader... but I don't believe anyone is developing safestrap roms any longer since the bootloader has been unlocked for the 926.

[RAZR HD Android Development] divxdvd:
I have been searching for like 2 weeks for a safe strap compatible rom to flash my non unlockable RAZR HD. I have everything all setup in safestrap and ready to flash a JB based rom. If any one can help i would greatly appreciate it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] djuniah:
I'm making the jump from a razr to an HD this week and had a question about safestrap. The BL is unlocked on the device i'll be getting. Am I still able to use SS on this, or should I just use TWRP/CWM? I would prefer safestrap as i often like switching ROMs and testing new ones.
[RAZR HD Android Development] RikRong:
I would not use SS if you have an unlocked BL. It eats up memory and most ROMs out there won't work with SS. SS is designed to make a ROM work in a "safe" slot, without using a boot.img. It uses the stock boot.img from the ROM that's in the stock slot (I think that's how it works). All the ROMs out there right now have the boot.img included, so theoretically, they shouldn't work in the slots in SS. With that being said, the ROMs could be modified to work with SS, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet. Honestly, it's just as easy to set up ROMs in TWRP/CWM, back them up, and restore them.

To answer the question, though, yes you can use SS. Just keep in mind that it's not a true recovery replacement. It still keeps your stock recovery intact.
[RAZR HD Android Development] djuniah:
Yeah, understood. I'm familiar with how SS works on my OG Razr Maxx (just as you described), but i wasn't sure if the HD version was different. I'll stick to CWM or TWRP then. Thanks!
[RAZR HD Android Development] RikRong:
I apologize, then, if this came out like I was treating you like a newb. Around here, you never know who has the experience and who doesn't.
[RAZR HD Android Development] djuniah:
No offense taken! My post/thank count is quite low here as well so there was no reason for you to assume otherwise. Thanks for the info though.
[RAZR HD Android Development] hondasarecool:
Okay so um, I just installed safestrap onto my S4 VRUAME7 and yes I'm able to get into it, but while trying to create a new ROM slot, it says I only have 12MB of free space, when I just 5 minutes prior wiped the phone entirely. So, I don't know what's wrong, but there isn't anything on it anymore, or there shouldn't be. Any ideas?

EDIT: I installed the ATT version of it by mistake, genius me
[RAZR HD Android Development] drkdeath5000:
Will this work on the 9.18.94 OTA ?
[RAZR HD Android Development] RikRong:
Only if your bootloader is unlocked. Then, if you are unlocked, you should use a real recovery replacement, not SS. Otherwise, you're out of luck. Why? Because there's no root method for .94 and SS requires root access.
[RAZR HD Android Development] freeZbies:
I have three questions

1- Is it running on last firmware?

2-Does it run Custom ROM, runs anyone?

3- On the page that is linked to this thread, the file is on .ISO extension, and its size is about 1GB, but the one attached to is a .APK with 4 MB, what's the difference?
[RAZR HD Android Development] BruteSource:
Okay so I Installed this, cloned my Stock ROM over to a slot.. But I thought you could install any JB (Since I have JB Kernel) custome ROM.. seems it has to be SS compatible.. But since at one point the bootloader was unlocked they stopped developing these roms? So pretty much anyone with a newer OTA is still completely screwed as far as running ANY Custom roms? :( Or can someone show me some roms I can run with SS?
[RAZR HD Android Development] RikRong:
You can't run any JB ROM, like you said, it needs to be built to boot on SS. There is one current SS ROM over on DroidRzr.com: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/26496-rom-jb-9201-ragehd-v23-9182013-update/ . There are other SS ROMs running around, but they haven't been developed since April. If you run into one of those and want to use it, you'll run into kernel issues, like the gallery not working and WiFi not working.
[RAZR HD Android Development] BruteSource:

Hey fellas, good morning!

I have a friend with the xt925 on 4.1.2 official and my doubt is if I need to unlock the bootloader in order to install Safestrap or is not necessary?

It´s already rooted and ready to try custom roms!

Thanks in advance!
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
safestrap was made for locked bootloaders, although it will work on unlocked, however you can only flash roms that work with safestrap. most of the safestrap roms are over on the razr forum, not here on xda. you need to unlock the bootloader to flash the roms here such as cm-11 etc.

unlocking the bootloader and not using safestap will give you the best option of roms with the most current android versions. safestrap roms are generally built off stock and will have less options.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Huli13:
I cant get any of the rom managers to function, unlocked and rooted xt926. I just got finished trying safestrap, says it is loaded, do not get menu at startup. Any suggestions?
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
Out of curiousity, why are you using safestrap?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Huli13:
I am not using safestrap, that is the problem. I know it is for locked bootloaders, so I tried it in an effort to get ANYTHING working. I cant get any ROM managers/recovery to load at all. Wanted to see if it was my phone, or maybe the bootloader really was locked even though I get the code saying it is not. Really just trying to get away from the stock ROM.

Seems now that something may be wrong with my phone since I cant even get Safestrap to work. Would like advice because I may just be missing an important step somewhere, I am a novice at this and all of the guides I have found give no results. (no brick either :laugh:)

As many of us use this amazing app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en

Now it allows you to make an Update.zip with apps and Data!!! Only on the pro version.

I am so glad I support them as this a feature I have been waiting for since day 1.

I mean think about it you flash a new Rom boot up so its all nicely installed then boot back to CWM and install all your apps in 1 nice step. Done all up to date. I would even recommend before flashing make a new update.zip file so after flashing use that.

Here is a review on this:

Hey mike, I have 2 more ideas. First one is. Have you tried removing your battery for at least 10 second and holding your power key button in for at least 10 second to fully drain your phone of power (a "soft reset" then putting the battery back in and turning your phone back on? The second idea would be to Factory Reset your phone. Again sorry if these are stupid questions.. You've probably already tried these things.

It depends what you need to back up, my first suggestion would be to plug it in to your PC via USB and use Kies to backup stuff (I can't remember if it requires an on-screen phone prompt though). Either try that or use windows explorer to copy paste certain files like your photos and so on to your desktop.
