If it's still locked you can't use CWM or TWRP. You need to unlock the bootloader. Otherwise, you're stuck with SafeStrap. There is tut in this forum for unlocking the bootloader. You can also use Matt's utility 1.20, the unlock exploit is in there too.

same prob

hey guys!

i'm running into the same problem. tried eclipse v5.0 build 2 and cm 10.1-2013-06-20, both with no success: phone won't boot after installation, just black screen.

[MENTION=5194727]AndroidAardvark[/MENTION]: did you ever find a solution for the problem?

any other suggestions than downloading again? i've done that...

thanks in advance!

cheers

[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Those are both designed for an unlocked boot loader. You need to unlock, flash a custom recovery, and get rid of SS.
[Droid RAZR M General] emsone:
hey rikrong!

thanks for your quick answer!

- i've unlocked the bootloader following the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2227938

- got fastboot and tried to install twrp (v2.5.0.0) as described in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS-ydWUOy9I

unfortunately twrp won't install, i get the following error message:

(bootloader) Variable not supported!

target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes

sending 'recovery' (7594 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.620s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.894s

the phone displays: invalid image size for partition recovery

and after pushing the power button it says (still in ap fastboot mode): fastboot reason: flash failure

googled and found: error ocurs only on devices with locked bootloader

installed root checker and it verifies: phone is rooted

any ideas?

[Droid RAZR M General] uthkuknwme:
question, how can i remove ss? cuz right now im running both twrp and ss, and i wanna get rid of the ss option while my fone is booting, kinda gets annoying

also, if wanna get rid of the unlocked nag i found a prog on the net that fixes it and changes it back to the M, cant remember where exactly but search ZaYAC_Logo (or give me your email, and ill gmail it to you) its a .bat that pushes the icon from your pc through the bootloader

also, from my experience, dont use twrp 2.5, find 2.3.2.3
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
You need to go into the SS app itself and choose the "uninstall" option, then delete the .apk. After you delete SS, delete the folders with a file manager.

TWRP 2.5 is good and vastly improved over 2.3. The 2.4 version was the buggy version.
[Droid RAZR M General] uthkuknwme:
Ok, I thought it was 2.5 I had that was giving me problems, also THANK YOU for telling me how to get rid of that, been trying for a while
[Droid RAZR M General] uthkuknwme:
update- i couldnt find the ss app or apk, i think i uninstalled it through the system uninstaller (setting/apps)

should i find the ss apk again and reinstall that to uninstall ss, or will that double bork my fone?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
NP. I had serious issues with 2.4 and had to revert back to 2.3. This was prior to the release of 2.5.

Just reload the .apk and you can uninstall. I had to do this on my phone. It won't cause an issue.

I am on the latest jb ota, rooted, w/locked bootloader. I tried flashing the stock plus rom "bare bones", upon reboot, the 2 softkeys on the bottom of the screen in safestrap don't work, and the phone just goes to a black screen and stays there. Any help????
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Did you create slot and flash it there, or did you try to flash over the stock slot?
[Droid RAZR M General] jacobmacek:
I flashed it over stock

EDIT: Nevermind, rsdlite saved my ass
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
That's the issue. You're going to need to use a utility or RSD and restore to stock and then start over. SS is designed to allow you to flash ROMs on a locked bootloader. Since you have a locked bootloader you can't flash over the stock slot. SS uses the stock boot.img to get roms on the safe slots to boot.

Re-read the OP and read this, both should help you out a lot.

http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/

edit: just read your edit. Just be careful next time and don't flash over the stock slot.

I installed safestrap 3.62 and can not install recovery "install recovery" is not highlighted. it says "state:newer version installed" . Uninstall recovery and reboot to recovery is highlighted. Tried to go into recovery and it just reboots back up. I also uninstalled recovery and i still can not select install recovery. I have deleted the program several time and installed several other version but keep having a same issue. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

[Droid RAZR M General] rocketrazr99:
I have the EXACT same problem... I can NOT install a custom ROM to slot 1 on Safestrap v.3.11 or 3.12, whichever it is! And why are the SD card and internal storage reversed? All I can say is that none of this tutorial is even close to how my Safestrap works. I have a custom but factory-like JB 4.1.1 ROM running on my rooted and unlocked RAZR M and I cant install a ROM on slot 1! Ive tried everything
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Well, if you're unlocked, stop using SS. It's a band-aid that was designed for a locked bootloader. SS isn't a true recovery replacement, you need to flash an aftermarket recovery. You're probably getting install fails because the ROMs you are trying to use aren't compatible with SS. What do you mean when you are saying your SDs are reversed? The tutorial is pretty much spot-on, maybe the verbage is just a little off because I think SS uses different names for the internal/external SDs.
[Droid RAZR M General] rocketrazr99:
slot 1 on SS

OK I spent the time, all of 5 min, to install CMW which I have been procrastinating on for months, and after a few test drives found a ROM I like, but is there any advise as to a ROM that has radio strength comparable to a Stock or clean ROM? Every custom job seems to be pretty weak. And if anyone knows of a ROM already tricked with the popular dark themed cyan/gray inverted look for EVERYTHING I would love to check it out. Running CM 4.3 now with a decent theme but was wondering if a PA ROM with Preferences installed would get me a lot closer to ALL blue/gray and black/white. I'm just a noob trying to get a daily driver tweaked as previously described. Thanks

Just trying to upgrade to 4.2 to get miracast option. Been trying to upgrade for the past 2 days. Used clockwork, TWRM, etc etc.

When I reboot to recovery, I just get the android recovery screen. Nothing for clockwork, Safestrap splash screen etc etc.

Please assist.
[Droid RAZR M General] thewraith420:
You can't use cwm or twrp with a locked bootloader. We're pretty much stuck on 4.1.2 until the kitkat update rolls out

Any word on when/if SS will support AOSP roms?

CM has spoiled me :P
[Droid RAZR M General] aviwdoowks:
When KK comes who knows?

Not til then.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
It's not really a matter of SS supporting the ROMs, it's a matter of the ROMs being designed to work with SS.
[Droid RAZR M General] gtmaster303:
So are there AOSP roms that will work with SS? Is it hard to modify existing roms for SS?

I wish I got this device earlier. Finding a device with the right bootloader is hard. I bought 3 devices in the past month, and they're all running that same dreaded September 2013 update. I feel as though the locked bootloader leaves me at a loss. So many roms available, but not much for locked bootloaders :(
[Droid RAZR M General] aviwdoowks:
It is a kernel issue. Dhacker had cm barely working for ss. But he took that old build down.

We would need a Dev to get 2nd init working & rework ss!!

KK with root & a ported ss 263 will be the best to hope for.

Xposed moduals give great custom options for stock.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Yeah, I hear you. When the BL got unlocked, development stopped on SS ROMs. There were quite a few that were available, but they've all gone by the wayside. From what I understand, to get a ROM to work on SS, all you need to do is remove the boot.img, but I don't know if that's a fact or not. Even then, you'll run into kernel issues if you run a ROM that's not based off the same kernel as the one on your stock slot.

[HTC Desire C] russell664:
There are a few installation methods which you can use to install these transitions, there is one for beginners as well as the more experienced members, who prefer using ADB rather than install zips.

Custom built flashable zips for both the inexperienced members here at XDA, or just the plain lazy members who don't have much time on their hands.

Copying the individual APK to your phone,please be aware that this app does not go into the data partition, only the system partition! For example, these directories below are for inexperienced members, who are willing to try things out, and learn a little more about their phones file system, and how it is structured:

The incorrect directory to copy the custom Transitions app to via ADB:

/data/app/frameworkxxxx.apk

The correct directory to copy the custom Transitions app to via ADB:

/system/framework/frameworkxxx.apk

If you push the Framework-res app to the wrong directory, you may have a lot of system force closes, and the app will not work. This is why you NEED to push this app to the system directory and not the data directory.

How to use this app?

It starts with your device...

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] immortal_yash:
Hey guys i m seeing many people wanna get stock rom and flashing RUU and bricking their device so here you have a small guide to get back to stock rom without RUU :)​

Before we start we need some things-

->Custom Recovery--------------------->TWRP||CWM(Newest version is recommended)

->Stock Rom in zip format(you have 2 options acoording to the kernel you want)

-->Stock Rom without EXT filesystem support--------------------->Download from here

-->Stock Rom with EXT2/3/4 file system support----------------->Download from here(Download this if you want to use memory scripts like int2ext,mounts2sd,etc.)

Changelog-

-->New Kernels build from stock htc source

-->De-odex

-->Init.d support

rest cant remember as i had build them long back :P

Instructions-(Assuming you already have flashed a Custom Recovery)

-> Copy the rom downloaded to sd card

-> Reboot in Recovery Mode(Remove the battery and reinsert it then hold volume down and power button to go to Hboot and then recovery)

-> Wipe System,Cache,Dalvik-Cache,SD-EXT,Factory Rese(and Boot if you use CWM Recovery)

-> Install or flash the stock rom you downloaded and placed in sd card(DO NOT flash Gapps as Stock Rom already has it inbuilt)

-> Reboot to System

-> Setup phone as you did for the first time when you brought it ;)

Note-

Kernels Used in this are made by me from source :)

Flashing this stock rom does not change your Radio version so any person from different zone can flash it without effecting their Radio version
