...dedication? Hah! I am just like everybody else. If I know the answer and you give me the details I need, I will give you the answer you seek. If I do not know or am not sure, I Google a lot to FIND that information for you. You would be surprised at how many "experienced" people do not know how to use Google search effectively and give up after the first try. Sometimes you get little or no results, take out some of the search string, try again. Too much information, add more details to your search string. In most ALL cases, copying and pasting or typing in the exact error message or at least enough of it will give you the answers you want. Or, I spell it out in plain English what the issue is, what help we need, invite others to please join in, in the hope that another member who either knows or has "been there, done that" will chime in with the real help we need. If all that fails and I am able to duplicate it or experiment, I will do it and report the results. I draw the line at hosing my own phone though. :D

You hear this a LOT. "Google is your friend". And these people mean it, you just need to learn how to talk to Google to get what you want. Google is also trained in plain speech so you can ask it a question like anyone else and it will reply. It ignores common words like "and", "a", and other words that are far too common in ordinary speech so your best bet at getting help is to include something totally unique to your search query. It also helps to use Advanced Google Search or have a Google Search Operators cheat sheet handy. You can refine your search to stay within XDA and most of the answers you want may very well be in XDA.

Uhm, you are right, I was wrong. You cannot install Safe Strap over itself to update. I had to go back and search the main thread, I remember seeing it there and I was the one to mention it. It was about that darned /osh error. But in any case, updating Safe Strap requires using the interface to uninstall the recovery environment, then uninstalling the apk app. Now install the new Safe Strap, then enter the interface and install the new recovery environment. Sorry not to mention this last message, at 5 in the morning I get a little rusty. When updating from an early version like 2.x, it was more complicated. You are going from v3 to v3 so this is easy. You MUST uninstall the recovery environment from the Safe Strap app. You Must uninstall the Safe Strap app once recovery has been removed. Now install Safe Strap 3.73, open the app, install the recovery, and you are good to go. You can read about it at Hash of Codes and they even made this super *****in' video showing how to do it and how to use Safe Strap and some of it's tricks. Watch this video and learn something! It came from the Hash of Codes page that I gave you the link to read if you want.

SafeStrap V3.04 for Razr, Razr Maxx, D4, Bionic, and D3! Overview and How To Use!

Here is a video that actually shows you how to update safe strap 3. Hindu guy talking, harder to understand but you can watch the screen. He does list the things to do which are exactly what I told you. :)

Don't be scared or make a big deal about this Safe Strap update. I just did it myself recently when 3.73 came out. I followed the exact same procedure as you and I was up and running Safe Strap in hardly any time at all. If you want a list to follow, I will give you one:

Download the Safe Strap 3.73 apk for GSM Razr XT910 file to your SDCard.

Open the installed Safe Strap app in Cm10

Uninstall recovery within the app and make sure it finishes

Uninstall the old Safe Strap app.

Install the new 3.73 Safe Strap.apk from your sdcard.

Open the new Safe Strap 3.73 app

Tap the install recovery to phone button, make sure it finishes.

You are finished. Shut off your phone, turn it on again, and when the Safe Strap screen comes up in boot, tap the recovery button on the left

See that you are indeed in Safe Strap 3.73

You have cm10 on slot 1. Not bad, we can work with this. Now that you have updated Safe Strap, the right way this time. (my bad) Then go to the Play Store to check if you have or for sure install busybox.

Anytime you open your browser on PC, Firefox, Chrome, anything but IE, go straight to Google and if you are not logged in, log in. Now Google knows who you are and opens many doors for you such as telling you if an app is installed on your phone, tablet, whatever you got. You can install, uninstall, and even just check your app at the Play Store. Leave that Google tab open, use it when need be, and you will always be on Google so even your map history and favorites will show.

BusyBox Installer

I actually have this one on my phone, it says installed. Typically busybox does NOT have an app or UI for it. It simply installs the necessary binary to the device. You can even go look in the filesystem to see if you have it with a root explorer. The cm11 File Manager is a great root explorer once you got into Settings, General Settings, at the bottom, Access Mode is turned on to be Root Access mode OR BETTER YET, "Prompt for user mode" This way if you need root to perform a certain task, it will ask you if you really need root and give it to you if you say yes.. I attached a screenshot for you to see and checked it to highlight it. Now carefully remove the check and back out of it. Having a rooted file manager is pretty cool and also dangerous. No phone provider EVER gives us root because, for one, we could beat some of the billing, and for two, rooted phones are easy to toast, it is never the manufacturer's fault, and they are stuck trying to find out what is wrong with the phone by tech support, not realizing you rooted your phone and while either handling it carelessly or dropping it and making an amazing catch, you accidentally deleted or pushed an important system file down inside of a folder where it does not belong. Rendering the phone worthless. If you send it back for warranty repairs, they will find that su binary and there goes your warranty. So never "play around" with a rooted file manager. Turn it to "prompt user" or in ES File Explorer, you go to the Tools, Root Explorer, and turn it on when needed. Even then, you must hold that button long press to get certain features enabled. Never just play with a root file manager. But you can use it to look and see if you have busybox. or install from the link I gave you. As long as you are logged into Google on your PC, it will download and install to your phone, by "installing it" on the PC.

Once you update your safe strap and be certain you are rooted and have busybox installed, you will be in a much better position to get things done with this phone.

...yawn. 'night.
