What say, Bri!

Yeah I get that impression too. Seems like some Safe Strap 3.73 file got corrupted and now it will no longer create backups. First let me tell you what I did try.

Booted to Stock ROM. This is where I installed Safe Strap.

Uninstalled Recovery from within Stock ROM. Uninstalled Safe Strap the app from within the stock rom.

Reinstalled Safe Strap 3.73 from within stock rom.

Installed recovery environment from the newly installed app in stock rom.

Booted to recovery, made slot 1 active for cm11.

Attempted to create a backup, no go. Quick flash, black screen, tap to light screen, all in about 2 seconds.

Used SS File Manager to examine "the new backup", found the folder, it was empty.

Restored cm11 09/03 that was previously backed up, added my themes, and booted back to recovery.

Attempted to backup rom again, same as last time, to both internal and external SD Cards.

Failed again.

Removed 64GB Sandisk SD card, inserted and mounted my freshly formatted FAT32 16GB SD card.

Tried to backup to that card, backup failied.

Put 64Gb Sandisk card back in and gave up.

It seems by reading the OP's message that he had to not only uninstall recovery from stock rom, and then uninstall the Safe Strap app from stock, then he deleted all Safe Strap folders in the device. Both the TWRP folders and the Safe Strap folders (Which contain the image files) from both cards. He then reinstalled Safe Strap from recovery from stock rom and had success.

What I do not understand is he also said he had issues with the superuser binaries and tried/deleted them and reinstalled them. This failed and he had to use Matt's Utility Razr Blade to root the phone and get the superuser binaries reinstalled. This is very confusing. What really annoys me is that he did indeed send his log to Hashcode, got an answer, to fix the device. BUT, he did not reveal what Hashcode told him or what instructions were given to actually get this fixed.

I guess I can use Air Droid or USB to backup all Safe Strap folders. Then go to stock, uninstall safe strap recovery, uninstall the Safe Strap app, delete the two TWRP folders and the Safe Strap folder with image on internal sdcard, reinstall Safe Strap from stock, install the recovery environment from stock rom Safe Strap app, and see what happens.

You see, this makes me very, very nervous as I will be deleting not only Safe Strap, the recovery environment, but all the files that make Safe Strap work. One slip here or if anything goes wrong, I will be toast.

Recovery log attached as recovery.txt.

What do you make of all this, Bri, and what would you suggest? I will be backing up ALL Safe Strap/TWRP folders while folding laundry while I nervously await a possible reply from you... :eek:

Comment:

OMG, over 8 hours to copy my ExtSDCard TWRP folder and contents over WiFi to PC is insane. Time to pull the card, insert in USB holder, and get it over with. Man, the internal sdcard Safe Strap folder is over 3GB and will take hours over WiFi. I hope that USB mass storage works.

Yeah, Mass Storage with USB cable is good. 8 minutes to transfer the 3GB /sdcard/safestrap folder over to PC. I think I can get the /ext-sdcard/TWRP folder over this way too, but it is a bigger folder as there are several backups in it. The /sdcard/TWRP folder is empty because I never make backups to internal storage. Having those folders backed up is reassuring, but if things go South, there may be no real way to "put them back". :fingers-crossed:
