You need to have a custom recovery installed like Safestrap 3.11 to get access to the rom slots. When devs say you need to have a clean rom slot they mean you have to make sure theres nothing installed on that slot and that you have wiped everything like the cache, dalvik cache, data and system.
I'm on safe Strap 3.11, and I found that I had better results deleting the Rom Slot and re-creating it when installing a new build of the CM 10.1 based ROM.
When installing ROMs based on the OTA JB Leak, just wiping is fine.

Will this affect restoring backups?
It didn't cause any problems for me. I had the Diabitis JB ROM installed in slot 1, backed it up, deleted the slot, recreated it to install the CM 10.1 unofficial, didn't like it, and then restored my Diabitis back-up right over it with no problems.

A clean rom slot is a rom slot that never had a Rom installed on it, it just was created, wipped (twice for some roms) and then got the rom installed on it.
What is the KEXEC and rom slots? Why i cannot instal CM from recovery without SafeStrap? What is meaning of "This is a KEXEC build and must be installed in SafeStrap rom-slot1."
Ok first kexec is for our droids that can't have a unlocked bootloader. So we have a custom 2nd recovery. That is the only way you can have any but the stock rom. The slots are for if you want more than one rom to try out.

Ok, if I try to instal custom rom with stock recovery it will fail ? When I first experimenting with safestrap and instal carbonrom, i didnt know how this working so SS was disabled and i instal carbon rom to stock rom slot. It works fine. I thought that SS is not necessary because it always has been disabled.
Sorry for my ignorance, I was used to htc...

Ok, are you saying safestrap is disabled because the screen says that when you boot the phone up? That is just the hijack at the beginning telling you it isn't booting into recovery and giving you time to go into recovery if you want(the options at the bottom of the screen.)
Backup what you have now in recovery, then you can wipe and flash in the stock slot.
Exactly that is what the deal is. You are on the right track.

I noticed alot of people having trouble with flashing ROMS based off the Xmas leak 98.72.8 while being updated to the 98.72.16 OTA, so i made some SafeStrap flashable zips that allow you to keep the .16 OTA in stock slot while having a .8 based ROM in another slot.
No need to fastboot the entire leak to flash leak based roms.
Just flash the appropriate zip for whichever slot you are booting.
Use these if you get bootloops with certain ROMs that require you to be on the christmas leak. You can switch back and forth from stock OTA to custom pretty easy.
I only have an xt912 CDMA so thats all i tested on. Any input is welcomed. I will reply when possible.

When are we supposed to flash this?
Before or after flashing the desired ROM?

I actually wrote it all on my RAzR without a computer.
Once it's there it's there. Most ROMS don't rewrite that file. But to Boot your stock slot without a cryptographic error you have to flash the *.16.zip

or any other slot for that matter. just figured that out. so i will need both files on my sd. still a great zip
edit_ will it work for other than my stock. I never use stock. I have roms on slots 1 and 2 they are .16 and my jellywiz i put on slot 3 and flashed the .8 zip. so in order to use either of my .16 slots i need to flash the .16 zip first? am i correct is this going to work since im not dealing with stock. only the safe side.

ya to go from jwiz to a .16 you have to flash the .16.
OK I want to clarify some questions?
I am on 98.72.16 JB if I want to install Jellywiz RLS7 I need to go on Jb 98.72.8.
So (slot 1 clean) install rom + gapps + Patch GSM then install script changes from 16 to 8 and reboot.
if I want after 1-2 days to use another rom installed on slot 2 must do something or just exchange slots ss 3.11?
thanks
with this I would be able to switch from stock .16 to any ROM .8 slot with ease?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I successfully booted a .8 rom using the zip, but i cannot boot .16 roms without a crypto whatever error, despite the fact that i have flashed the .16 zip multiple times. Any thoughts?

Hello
I have this rom in my rom slot 3, just as I been told trough the official thread.
If I do a full backup of the ROM in Safestrap after installing all my programs and settings, can I then Restore it to the Stock Rom Slot?
I have always done this with all the other custom rom's with no problem, I do not want more than one ROM on my phone, call me weird...
Wouldn`t do that if I were you... These custom roms are hard coded to only work on specific slots. In case of Liquid Smooth, it only works on slot 3 for now, but that will probably be fixed soon.
BTW, I`ve flashed CM 10.1 accidentally on my stock slot (Was on custom ICS rom) and now I can`t boot on stock slot, only on CM 10.1 (slot 1) and Liquid Smooth (slot 3).
Facing some issues, trying to solve them, but no success so far...

When this happens to me I always swallow my pride and go back to stock via RSDlite.
But I have always done like I said with all the custom roms, I have never had any problems after but the whole restore on stock rom slot.
But let's say, If I continue to use rom slot three. If I then go into Safestrap and format the stock rom slot, this will free up the space on mye phone right?
Not sure about that, but since you have usb working, you`ll always have RSD,.. My usb isn`t working, but I don't know if it's hardware or something messed up with stock slot...

What about making a backup file from the one rom you have working and restore it to stock rom slot? It will not boot on this slot at all?
I have been out in the dark maybe 100 times before, but I have never had usb not working??? Strange..
My case is that I'm on ICS on stock and on JB on rom slots...
I was wondering, did I mess my CID by installing JB over LATAM ICS, since there isn`t a LATAM JB release yet?
Anyways, sorry, completely out of topic here, so, let`s go to the point:
If you see me as a lab rat, you should know that I just tried flashing my working LiquidSmooth backup on stock slot, and didn`t work... At least for me...

Maybe you have to let the stock rom slot be, until there is a rot or rsd for Jelly Bean
Haha, lab rat!
I jus tried the same myself, but the device would not start so this does not work.
For now I have formated and wiped my stock rom slot, and I have liquid smooth in slot 3 wich will be my daily rom waiting for things to happen.

Yeah, but in my case no usb, so it`ll have to be via stock recovery...
Well, for now, since there`s no use for my stock slot, I`m gonna do the same as you...

But liquid smooth is a pretty neat rom, it makes me not wanna go back to the regular ics roms.

I rooted and unlocked on mdk then installed a stock me7 rom only.
I like cm waaaay better than tw but still use tw Roms because I use the mhl and other Samsung specific things often.
Could I use safestrap to "multiboot" so I can use a cm rom as a daily driver and boot to tw if I want any Samsung specifics?

Yes, there shouldnt be any problem, and safestrap basically creates another system. So you could keep tw as your main system, and when you need to use cm, boot into it from recovery. But I HIGHLY (note the caps) recommend you keep tw as your main system, and cm as the safe system. If you use cm as your main system, if any errors occur, your kinda screwed.
I believe as of right now, the kernels in the rom slots have to be the same as the kernel on the stock side. Hash did say he was going look into finding a way for those of us on MDK to flash kernels to rom slots, but as of right now it isn't possible.

Hello people. I think the title says it all.
I want a quick tutorial to know how to install a custom ROM on my XT910 without using Safestrap. I dont like the 3GB storage at all.
Also, I would like to know wich is the best ROM for a noob user like me. I mean, I root and nothing else, then I download APKs or from Google Play. That's all.
Thanks!
You need either Safestrap or BMM to flash a custom ROM.
Not sure what you mean by 3GB storage.
Also, don't ask for best ROM. Its against XDA rules.

You can't flash a custom rom without custom recovery like Safestrap or Boot Menu Manager.
About the storage,you can flash the rom on stock slot but I recommend that you flash the rom on second partition,try it and if everything is ok then you flash it on stock.
This 4.4 Kitkat roms are pretty good,I had the best battery time with Liquidsmooth 03/11 build and it's smooth and fast.

Sorry, I think I said it in the wrong way. I want to delete the stock ROM so the one I download has the 8GB for storage.
I dont want 2 ROMs, i want one that replaces the stock one.
So to do this I need to flash the rom on stock slot?
Also, wich do you think is a nice gapp to have with LS + JBX? I think slim minimal gapps but i would like to hear your answer.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
EDIT: I have just downloaded the last Liquidsmooth ROM named "LS-KK-v3.2-2014-07-19-umts_spyder". Would you recommend me to use JBX Kernel with this ROM? Or just the ROM and not changing anything? I want the best battery time and also a fast and smooth phone, so you tell me.
Hey, I didn't find any similar threads specifically for the verizon S4, but my question is whether or not i will keep root access if I do a factory reset on my i-545 NC5 running Android 4.4.2 through safestrap, or if there is a better way to clear up some memory. I want to flash Hyperdrive RLS18 through safestrap, but there is too much saved directly to the phone to make a decently sized slot. Any ideas on the best way to wipe the entire phone except for root access, safestrap, and my 4.4.2 ROM?
Any input would be appreciated.

Well it's almost stable for AT&T, Verizon isn't officially supported. The problem right now is that Hashcode, the sole developer/genius who created and maintains Safestrap is stopping support on the project on Monday, because he got an awesome new job to focus on (congrats Hash). He said he was looking for people to continue the work but I haven't seen anything on who those devs would be or if anyone could even qualify.
