I have a RAZR XT912 running ICS 4.0.4 & "SKULLCANDY" ROM with SAFESTRAP v3.05 & I want to update to SAFESTRAP v3.11, I have not been able to confirm that v3.11 will work fine on ICS, only on JB. Can someone please confirm for me that SAFESTRAP v3.11 will work on 4.0.4? If it works on ICS I would also like some step-by-step instructions on how exactly to do the update.
Thank you to those who can offer me help, it is greatly appreciated.
I had no issues with safe strap 3.11 on ICS. Worked like a charm!
As for installing it. You need to be on your stock non safe side to update. There you should go into your safe strap 3.0X app and remove it within the app using its utilities. (all this of course after you've made a nandroid backup of your respective safe and non safe roms.) After that you need to install the new safe strap 3.11 and then run it once opened to install it. Then you should be able to reboot into recovery and see if it worked. You should see the new safe strap version once you reboot into a rom.

I disagree.. Safe strap is much more forgiving than BMM, And I've yet to see more than 1-2 ROMs for only BMM. Safe strap is supported on almost every RAZR ROM that I've seen. Also, if you screw up, Safe strap can normally (see: "normally") still allow you to have a working system.
Safestrap is safer, bootmenu has a few more options... Use one of the two depending con which ROM you want...

I figured out BMM faster than SS, which happened to soft-brick my phone. Also, I replaced stock ICS with JB on BMM, which I couldn't figure out on the other one.
BMM can install any ROM you want. Just use System 2, and kexec roms (for not to flash jb kernel) and you'll never loose your stock one.

There is a way to root 4.1.2. Just use matts utility 1.9 to root it! It should be in the dev section!

i cant seem to find anything besides 1.82.
i tried this http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6924-root-achieved-for-jb-ota-razrmaxx-xt912-razr-blade/ and its not working
Alrighty! So I have a Razr Maxx on Verizon running 4.1.2 JB. I'm looking to flash CM 10.1 on this guy.
So I've figured out that I can root it without a problem. I'm seeing that you can use Razr Blade or ADB. At any rate, i'm trying to figure out if in order to flash CM 10.1, you need to be on stock Firmware. Do I need to be on ICS or Gingerbread (whichever came on Razr) to flash CM 10.1? If so, all the tools that would allow me to do this tell me that one can't go from JB to ICS. Can anyone help out? Also, if i'm correct, you need to first root, then flash. Right? Thanks!

Why do you talking about ICS and Gingerbread when you are on JB?
And yes,you can't go back and you don't need to,just root the phone,install BMM or Safestrap and flash the rom.

Stock Firmware means anything released by Motorola.
The rough process is simple.
Root
Install Safestrap(safer to use) or BMM(many advanced options)
Download the ROM & Gapps(optinal)
Boot into Recovery
Create A rom-slot
flash your ZIP
Reboot

This is helpful! Thank you! When put in that simple terms, it's much more clear. Thanks.
I was wondering if its recommended to upgrade to the latest version of Safestrap installed on the Razr X912. I have version 3.65 and I would like the opinion who are far more advance in these types of things than I am. Thank you in advance.

It won't mess with anything. You download the new .apk, install and open it, it will ask yo to remove the old one, and then ask you to install the new. Just make sure you do everything in the UI of your ROM and not in recovery or fastboot and you are golden.
Hey guys I have tested many ROMs and ask far my favorite is the stock ROM rooted I am going to deodex it when I get time. My problem is that my hotspot don't work. It freezes when it turns on. It is part of my plan and worked before safe strap and root. I read a post in here said I needed safe strap version 2. Something for it to work. Any one running newest safe strap on stock ROM with working hotspot ? Anyone know how to revert back from 3.7 to 2 ?

So, have both versions on your system. I got a good copy of v3.65 for XT912 here, And XT910 here.
Uninstall the recovery while running v3.73 of Safestrap
Uninstall Safestrap v3.73
Install Safestrap v3.65
Install the recovery while running v3.65
Do the above all at one time do NOT reboot in between steps, only reboot when you have the recovery installed!
Hi All...
I am currently running my SCH-i545 on 'NC5" using Hyperdrive RLS 18.0 with SS 3.72.
I like the rom and everything runs nicely, however, I would like to give GooglePlayEdition a spin.
The installation calls for a 'loki doki' flash?? Can someone please tell me if I have to 'Odin' back-to-stock or do I uninstall SS 3.72, reboot to recovery and flash 'loki doki'?
If someone can help me out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks all....

Loki is a kernel exploit for the mdk bootloader that allows the boot loader to be unlocked. NC5 is as of yet, still locked down. Loki does not work on our device. It seems gogolie has come up with a process to flash GPE Roms which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734775. This also may work http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ow-to-install-aosp-s4-google-edition-t2817708. I have not tried either so I can't offer any advice other than read the entire thread CAREFULLY. In the future, if a ROM needs loki, it isn't for us. Neither are AOSP Roms.
