I am running Razr ICS 4.0.4 safestrap 3.11.
Problem is when i try to restore a backup that I made, could have just made it 5 minutes ago( does samething to any backups) all that happens is the M logo comes up then the safestrap screen and I hit the button to boot phone normally it just goes to a black screen. I have do the 3 button reset to get back to safestrap. I then have to switch over to the stock rom slot, and that boots fine. I then have to go back into safestrap and delete rom slot 1 and re-create it to be-able to restore any backups. What is going on, what do I have to do to just be able to restore a backup without have to delete the rom slot and recreate it everytime? I made a post on Hashcode site as well. Would love to get this resolved!

Actually, after I went from Safestrap 2.__ to 3.11, every time I create a new Rom slot and try to Install a ROM into it, I get a black screen on reboot. The only thing that works for me is the stock at this point. I'm worried to revert to the previous Safestrap and some ROM's don't work with anything but the latest Safestrap, so unsure what to do.

I got the same problem as your when using the safestrap 3.11. But then I noticed that every developer ask us to wipe before install roms.
I followed, and I succeeded most of my installation. But I still get the black screen randomly, even when I reinstall the rom that boots normal before.
Anyway, you could try wipe all between the time of recreate the rom-slot and install roms.
Hope this will help you!

On my first install of Safestrap 3.11 on Motorola Droid Razr HD, I made a 1gb partition in slot 1, installed Batakang rom and rebooted. Worked fine (except I could only receive, not send sms/mms). Since then nothing has worked. I have even gone as far as factory reset my phone, re-rooted (Motochopper) and Unlocked Bootloader (Motopocalypse), re-installed safestrap, created new rom slot (tried slot 1 and 3) tried installing CM10 and AOKP unofficial builds downloaded from this site, no ammount of wiping before installing works. I can boot to stock rom fine but get black screen when booting into other roms. Holding down power key forces reboot into safestrap again.
I will first delete any ROM slot i created first then Easiest way to fix black screen is to boot to stock rom and select safestrap app open and chose uninstall recovery, reboot and do same thing but this time choose install recovery then reboot, can go back into safestrap now and all will be Good
Some ROMs are messed up like that as far as messaging goes

So I recently flashed ICS 6.14.79 onto my Razr Maxx and was trying to install safestrap so i can play with ROM's and such. I install safestrap.apk, then click the app icon in my drawer adn install recovery. Once I rebooot I get the option on splash screen to tap menu for recovery. I can get into recovery, I can make a backup of my system before switching to safemode and everything works just fine. I can reboot my system at this point and it will boot up fine. I can either wait the 10 seconds or I can hit search and it will boot.
But if I go through the safe menu and enable safeboot or safemode or whatever its called... my phone will NOT boot. it will get to the splash screen, and if i wait it goes to a black screen and goes NO FURTHER. the only way I can get it to boot is to hold the power and volume up and down keys for about 20 seconds ad my screen will flash, then I can hold just the power and it will reboot and I can go back into recovery and un do the safemode and it will boot.
I made sure I am using (or trying to use) 2.0, I have never installed bootstrap, this was a fresh loaded phone, razr utility 1.6 to load .181, then combo ics installer 0.3 to install ics 6.14.79. Rooted with teh ics installer which used the motofail exploit, loaded my apps and tried to flash the BEATS update...
Help please?
When you toggle the safe mode your still in the recovery screen you need to wipe cache dalvik cache wipe data /factory reset and format system then install your new rom and gapps before rebooting otherwise there is nothing to boot up. At least that's how I'm reading your post . So your in non safe you have your backup toggle safe then before rebooting wipe data/ factory reset wipe cache format system then dalvik cache then install rom and gapps if not part of rom most are not.. 4-29-12 gapps Then you can reboot. Some people have problems with charger hooked up try without it. Hopefully this will help.

but Im not trying to load a new ROM, I am wanting to continue using the one I currently have, I just wanted to add Beats to it... so your saying that I have to flash a new rom, and that safemode will NOT allow me to use my current rom....
I think toggling safemode creates a second ROM so you can go back to your first one if you need to. So when safe mode is active it boots into the second ROM. If flashing beats there is no ROM to boot in to.
To flash beats I would think you shouldn't enable safe mode cause you want it flashed to your ROM instead of a non existing one. Understand?
This is purely from my little knowledge of Safestrap. I generally use Bootstrap.

If you don't wanna flash any roms than you could just use bootstrap. If you wanna use bootstrap you must clear off safestrap.
1 reboot into safestrap and disable safestrap reboot
2 open safestrap app and select uninstall
3 go to system settings manage apps and unistall safestrap.
After you've done those steps than you could get bootstrap razr from the market and flash beats audio. I don't know if theres a way to install with safestrap in non-safe mode, it was setup to protect your orginial rom and only flash in safe-mode. maybe someone else could comment further.
So up until today I was running this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912596
It was getting really buggy, so I decided to update to the latest CM10.1 nightly. I updated safestrap to the latest version, and I saw that on the changelog for the CM nightlies that the rom could be installed on any slot. For some reason, there was no rom slot 1, even though that's what I had the current rom installed on. I made a backup of the stock rom slot, wiped system/cache/factory reset, and installed CM 10.1 on the stock slot. That didn't boot up. So I tried to restore my backup. My backup of my current rom didn't show up, but the initial stock rom backup that I made when I first rooted the phone showed up, so i wiped everything again and tried to boot from that. On that, the boot animation showed up and went through, but it sat there for a few minutes without booting, so I did a hard reset and went back into recovery. I then made a romslot-1, wiped for precaution, then tried to install the cm nightly. The install went fine, but when I try to boot, the phone just vibrates initially like it's going to boot up, but there is no boot animation or anything on the screen, and it just sits there. Is there anything I can do to get this thing up and running again? I am not at the least opposed to returning it to stock, but I'm not sure if I need to restore to stock ICS or JB, since I'm pretty sure the rom I had running was using the ICS kernel. Here's the link to the rom I just tried to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39330661&highlight=boot#post39330661
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hello All,
I hope someone may be able to help.
After encountering a problem on my jb razr, I tried to do a restore from a 2 day old backup. I have SS v3.11 installed and TWRP v2.2.2.1. After doing the restore on the Stock rom in SS, the razr boots up, but the screen does not work. I can hear the startup sound and the hard buttons provide appropriate actions, but no display at all. I have tried to wipe everything and then do a factory reset, but the results are the same. I have also tried to reinstall the fastboot from the zip on my sd card, but it fails pretty much instantaneously.
What can I do to get this running normally again?
Hello all,
By using Safestrap, I wanted to flash a CM 11 Kitkat ROM to my XT912, but I ran into some complications that I will detail below. If anyone can follow what I did and tell me how to get out of this situation, I would be very appreciative.
The very first thing I did was gain root access for my phone. Using this script, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467, and after a few tries, I was able to root the phone and install Safestrap. But this was an earlier version of Safestrap than what the directions for installing the ROM said, so I then installed the updated version.
After installing Safestrap v 3.65 and installing the recovery, I then using Titanium backup (the free version) and made a backup of all my app data. When I booted into Safestrap, I immediately created a backup of the stock ROM. Then, using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535920, I created a ROM slot, did the advanced wipe, flashed both the ROM and gapps .zip files, and wiped the Dalvik and the cache for the final time. This is where a problem occurred. After I tried wiping the Dalvik and the cache at the end, Satestrap said that the process had failed. Dumb me decided that it would be a good idea to then boot the phone anyway with the KK ROM selected.
In my phone's current state, it will not boot past the M logo. It can boot into fastboot, but when an option is selected, either the M logo appears again or the screen goes blank. I've tried reflashing the stock ROM using the 2nd option in the script, but every time I do that, the phone says it has a low battery. To try and solve this problem, I tried using this trick to get the phone to charge: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549625, but it hasn't helped. Even after sitting overnight after doing this trick the phone still said low battery when I tried running the script.
Any ideas as to what I did and how I can go about solving it? Thanks for reading my post.
