[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No Safe Strap is needed to update your rom. The update feature is built into the cm11 rom. As Haidersaleem mentioned, you update in Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates/ and you will not lose your data.

If you want to make sure you will not lose anything in case the rom is not good for you, go to Safe Strap and create a backup of your rom before you update! Now go back to CM11 and update from Settings. Now if you find you have problems, you can go back to Safe Strap and Restore your backup and you lose nothing.

Always make a backup of what you have before you update. This way, if the update is "bad", you can "go back" to what you had before the update. :good:

If you update your rom and do not like it and do not have a backup to restore, you can still downgrade to an earlier rom by using the instructions in the online guide:

Guide: CM11 Performance and Maintenance

About ½ down the page of instructions, you will see: How to Downgrade CM11 to an earlier Build:

Instructions are printed that tell you exactly how to do this without losing any data, game scores, or app updates. A lot of time and work went into the online guide. Please download a copy and keep it handy to use anytime you need it. ;)

UPDATE: These are instructions for an XT912 phone, NOT an XT910. DO NOT use these instructions on an XT910 phone!

Well, you really cannot do anything with the phone until you root it. Being a European rom, all you want to do is root the phone and install Safe Strap v3.73. Do not replace the stock rom at this point. Once the phone is rooted and you have Safe Strap installed, you can now install a nicer rom. You can get the tools that you need to root and install Safe Strap in Matt's Utility. Only use the Razr Blade root utility and the Install Safe Strap options. Nothing else. There is an up to date version of the utility, see link below.

Brian Hughes has updated the world famous Matt's Utility script with the up to date Safe Strap so you should download his updated version of Matt's Utility Here:

DROID RAZR Utility XT912 Jellybean UPDATED

The Batakang download link is working.

CM11 is a very nice Kit Kat rom, full featured, and quite stable. All you need do is select a known good, tested rom and install it with pa-gapps. The full instructions on how to do this are in the Guide: CM11 Performance and Maintenance on XDA Developers listed below in my signature. It may be necessary for you to apply the GSM patch to the CM11 rom once you install it. Find the patch at the link below:

[PATCH]GSM Fix for XT912 Spyder

That is really all the information you need in this post. The rest of what you need is in the Guide in my signature.
