How do I know if I have the latest version of Bootstrap installed?
I know that the latest version is 2.0, is that what you have?
Here's 2.0 if you don't already have it:

Isnt there a Bootstrap and Bootstrap for ICS.
If you're running 2.3.6 use Bootstrap 2, if you're on an Leak use Bootstrap ICS :thumbup:

Hey guys,
i've a question and i think this one is very important...
There are several ICS leaks out there and evereyone of them seems to be based on another ICS kernel version...
My question is:
After i've installed any of that leaks, will i be able to flash the hopefully soon arriving OFFICIAL 'Q2'-ICS (Retail) Upgrade?
i'll flash the leak posted by Spryte.

We will be able to flash the fastboot files over the leak. No problem.

If you uprade to "my" ICS leak and still have root, you can look for updates via cheesecake, which should bring you directly onto the upgrade path again (I don't have root any more, so I have to wait)

My UK version phone.
GSM patch doesn't (?) help.
Always bootloop or stack at "Welcome to Motorola" after 'four-corners-trick'.
Always have to flash factory with only working rescue from Zergrush.

What's your based Rom (2.3.5 or 2.3.6)?
You use Bootstrap?
What wipes did you set in CWM, before you install an Rom?
What Roms have you tried till now?
Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 2
Are you flashing "For GSM only!!11!" ROMS?
I don't think CDMA ROMS work on a GSM phone, unless you're on ICS leak. Then they're global.

It should work if applied the Cdma > Gsm patch but need to be 2.3.6 version.

I am now building a GSM Patch for the leak based roms. I already could boot successfully the Black Widoe ICS Leak on the GSM retail leak. Still editing the patch to make it work.
My base is 2.3.6 and I use bootstrap.

I have a razr from uk. I have this probleme too. You need change your rom 2.3.6 to firmware .20

I don't have to apply any GSM patch and I'm running the cm9 variant and it works well enough for me. And no motorola bloatware. Loving some ics. Not long till our official upgrade.

you don't need the gsm patch because you are running the cm9 from j.y.daddy, which IS GSM version. Or you have a cdma device and in that case you don't need a patch. And the othet thing is, that you are probably using the GB-based cm9. I am building a patch for the LEAK-BASED ICS CDMA custom roms to make it work on GSM devices.

If you want us to help please post which rom you want to run. the only one which really needs the 4-corner-trick to set up on GSM is eclipse. most problems are already reported in the roms threads. So I really don't think that you would only get useless results if you would do serious research.
And if you get the same issue on every Rom you try, read the instructions again carefully, then you will find a solution. Otherwise tell us exactly what doesn't work.

Few questions. I upgraded my phone in the last couple of months from the HTC Incredible to the Droid Razr Maxx. I had a great experience with rooting my DInc and using Clockworkmod along with Rom Manager to to flash CM7 nightlies and so forth.
Anyway, now that I'm using a Razr it seems like a lot of the forums I've been searching in don't use Clockworkmod but other recovery utilities such as Bootstrap and Safestrap to name a couple. One of my questions is...does it really matter what recovery I use to flash a particular Rom? Why is one recommended over another?
In the last week I wanted to try flashing Eclipse on my Razr using Clockworkmod but a guy in another forum mentioned and recommended using a different recovery. Can one recovery be more stable than another? I'm somewhat tech savvy but definitely not to the degree of so many great developers I lean on in this site. Thanks again by the way!
If you use an XT912 you have to use Safestrap (2.0 if you're on ICS)
If you got an XT910 you can't use the regular Safestrap. Instead you have to use Bootstrap (ClockWorkMod)
Best way to flash on XT910 is the Boot Menu Manager (based on ClockWorkMod with an lot of features)
XT910 = Bootstrap / BootMenu
XT912 = Safestrap
That's all

I have XT912 and have clockworkmod on there already. Should i remove it and put safestrap on there instead? Is it bad to have 2 recoveries on there?

Cant you use bootmenu for XT912 as well?

Many Roms for the XT912 tell in the instructions to use Safestrap.
You can't use both of them, so you should uninstall Bootstrap and get Safestrap running.
Uninstall Bootstrap isn't just uninstall the App through the Drawer. You have to delete some files manually and so on.
Search xda for how to uninstall Bootstrap and you will find an way. I've never tried to uninstall it without flashing an Fastboot through RSD (for me the easiest solution).

No. You need to uninstall Bootstrap and then install SafeStrap.
I got the RAZR Maxx CDMA Verizon Wireless. Which recovery do I use and how do I install it?
I use to have a GS2 so I'm use to using clockworkmod.

This is a QA thread and should be moved to QA. There is no dev going on.
Thanks
Fwiw - I'm using bootstrap on my razr Maxx with no problems. Btw, I'm on Verizon CDMA.
And, in my opinion, I see no reason to use rom manager since everything in it either needs cwm (which says it isn't supported) or premium acct. I do use rom toolbox for some changes, but not much. Bootstrap gets me into a recovery so I can do backups and recovery. Backup apps via titanium backup for best coverage, imo.
Is that wrong? I I figure if it works, don't fix it. Lol

Thanks for confirming the point about Safestrap...
After rooting my GSM XT910 MAXX I could not find the Boot Menu Manager in the the Play ... when I check on-line it said it was not compatible with my device. Should I go ahead and download/install the apk?

Ok - I'm going to amend my previous post. I've since updated to JB this month, and haven't put Bootstrap or Safestrap back on yet. Right before I updated to JB, though, I noticed I couldn't restore my nand backup throught BS though. Did some digging around online, and found this was a common problem. No matter what I tried, it was unsuccessful. Oh well, there went that process.
However, I've never been a fan SafeStrap (or dual booting in general). I'm hesistant to install SS because I don't understand how it works (compared to BStrap). I'm already at the point where my system ROM (stock) has a mere 2kB left of free space. Don't ask how that happened, I don't know. And I wish there were more, honestly.
So if I install SafeStrap - what about my storage issues? Where does slot 0, slot 1, slot 2 reside? Are they on the system ROM partition? Or stored on the SD Card? Or in built in memory? See attached for amount of space available... you can see why I'm concerned about space availability!
Personally, I think Safestrap is superior and it has saved my phone on numerous occasions. I'm not sure how similar the underlying processes are, but dual booting my phone is similar to dual booting my computer. Safestrap is phenomenal because it boots before either rom does, so if there is an issue with one installation, then you can reinstall it from a backup, etc. The latest Safestrap is based off of TWRP I believe. The system works very well, has a lot of features and supports touch.
As far as your problem booting your custom ROM is concerned (if I read your post correctly), it may be because when you updated to JB, your kernel was updated as well, so you can only use ROMs compatible with your current kernel.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I don't have a custom ROM though. I'm still stock, rooted.
Hey guys can anyone point me to the stock 4.0.4 file for RSD. I'm trying to upgrade to JB but when i try flashing the zip it fails. I'm assuming i have to start fresh. I'm stock rooted with no recovery but it still fails to flash. Or is there a ota jb download i can use through RSD to get straight to the point?

Hey guy
I wanna know is there any way to restore my CID from AP fastboot, without root permission?
My (GSM) device bricked after OTA, and only the o2 JB fastboot from RSD lite bring it back to life.
But my cid is deleted.. And i wanna restore it to boot up normally and able to use USB mass storage..
Any solution?
Regards,
If i remember right, you got an Latam Razr (AmericanMovil)?
You're currently running an EU Rom, so you can't restore your Cid. You have to wait for an Latam JB Version.
