Hi guys/girls!
I just flashed back to stock ICS rom and I wanna try out a JB rom. Problem is that , I have no idea how to use safestrap. Yes I did read at the instructions and understood 90% of that. But at one part it says that in the Safe Boot Menu (what is that) , we can toggle on and off safe system making most of the time rom bootable. I currently am on 3.05 safestrap and wanna try to install D-Wiz S3-Like rom.
Thank you!

Hello everyone
That's my first message here and i'm a new user of android.
I installed CM9 rom on the stock using BBM and then I uninstalled the recovery, and installed SafeStrap 3.05 recovery in order to install D-Wiz on rom-slot. After installing it I couldnt open the stock. the stock is always stuck in the loading status ( with cat icon of CM9).
I installed SafeStrap and D-Wiz as it is mentioned in this forum but maybe (I dont remember correctly) I wiped cache, dalvik cache and factory reset of the stock.
D-Wiz rom works fine but I have this problem with the stock. If you think I'll have to wipe everything I dont have problem with that. I just want to have my stock working and that's all.
guys, if my english isn't understood so tell me and i'll fix it.
anyway I really need your help here.
AW: RAZR XT910 cant run the stock
When your Stock Rom is an CM9 based Rom you need BMM to boot it with 2nd-init. Your problem is, that you've uninstalled BMM and installed SS.
To boot your Stock System with Safestrap you have to run an Stock Rom or Stock based Custom Rom on it.
So Fastboot back to Stock by using RSD or try to uninstall SS and install BMM 0.3.2 while you're booted into your Rom Slot.
After this you should be able to boot your Stock System (CM9)
Charge your Battery and have your Fastboot Files ready, just in case it doesn't work.

Hi, I just flashed UK Retail firmware from here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289 ) and I wanna go back to nonEIFGS Retail. How can i do that ? When I'm trying to flash an old firmware RSD fails and the phone remains in Fastboot.
It's impossible due to locked bootloader.
If there is no way back, can someone leave a tutorial on how to flash CM10.1 ? And if I flash CM10.1 it would be the only ROM in my phone or I need to keep the Stock too ?
PS: Forgive me but on my old phone things were simplier.
First of all - is your phone rooted? I assume it's not. So the first thing to do if you want CM 10.1 is rooting your phone. Then you should install boot menu manager or safe strap recovery. And with one of these tools you'll be able to flash cm or any other rom. It depends on you whether you want to keep your stock rom or just back it up and delete it.
Yes, my phone is rooted and I tried with BMM but when I booted with the custom rom nothing happend and the red let turned on.

You have to install BMM from google play...
Try booting with BPTools.
My steps :
1. restore nandroid (stock-based rom)
2. flash back original kernel
and i stuck at boot loops, whats wrong?
You could have just flashed the kernel restore package:

To go back the way you were before JBX
You can find all needed information right in the OP of JBX thread

Hey guys!
I have some problems with Safestrap Recovery on my XT910
Also, i can't install it normally. My phone is running CM10.1.3 with BootMenu Manager recovery
I was twice trying to install SS, but i usually have an unbootible device, that can't boot to system. What i must to do to install this recovery/
I want to install it to flash CM11, cause i don't want to change any files it bulds of CM to install it via BMM
I was trying to install SS3.65_umts_spyder.apk
I'm not positive, but I'm reasonably certain you need to boot back to stock, then make sure you have completely uninstalled BMM (and any versions of SS that may have been previously installed) and then try installing SS from stock ROM. If that still doesn't work then you probably need to do a complete reinstall of stock, unroot, then install SS3.65 (again do this from stock). Good luck.

I'm not an expert, but I think the phone still tries to boot to stock ROM first, but safestrap intercepts the process and forces the phone to then boot to the custom ROM.
Therefore, installing safestrap from any custom ROM like cm11 won't work (even though it may actually install). To get safestrap to work properly it must be installed from stock ROM.

I need help asap.So,I was on ICS rooted and installed safestrap 3.05 and then updated to 3.73 but after update I had bootloop.But then performed factory reset and still the same but then accidentally I full wiped so now I cannot boot info safestrap nor rom!
I cann access fastboot.What should I do now?Thanks in advance
Well,I managed to bring my phone back to stock via original files.So after that,I rooted and installed newest safestrap.Then I entered recovery,created new rom slot and installed slimkat to that slot but now I am wondering where the hell is my stock rom!?When I activate stock slot and when I try to reboot it says that there is no rom installed,are you shure you want to reboot?I never wiped anything on stock slot so my question is: is this normal?Should stock rom be there so I can boot in it or it is gone forever??
