[Q] Need Help uninstalling safestrap v3.11 please!! - Motorola Droid RAZR

I am trying to uninstall safestrap 3.11, but when I go to settings/apps, safestrap is not listed. I am not able to open safestrap from the device. How can I uninstall it so the boot screen no longer asks me if I want to enter into recovery mode? Please help!

I think you need to reboot into the stock rom (since that is where safe strap was originally installed), then start safestrap and select the uninstall option, and you may also need to then check apps to make sure it is completely uninstalled. If not you can finish the uninstall from there.

I am in the stock ROM. Uggh!

You could use the Droid RAZR Utility (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467 ) to restore your phone back to stock. Use the wipe option. At that point you should be back to a completely stock RAZR.

Were you able to get safesatrp 3.11 uninstalled yet? Did you install recovery on stock ROM or a custom Rom?
---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------
If you did install recovery on stock ROM and do not want to flash with Razr Utilty, you can try to reinstall recovery on stock to retry and remove it again. Something might have gone bad somewhere along your flashings and caused a mix up in files.

Good call! The reinstall worked! Thanks.

[Q] HELP!!! Bricked my wife's phone! (Safestrap)

HELP!!!!
I'm a semi-amateur at rooting, and I'm worried I bricked my wife's Droid Razr MAXX. Here's what happened:
A year ago, I rooted her Razr and installed safestrap, which came with its TWRP interface. It had been running slow, so yesterday I said I'd put her on a new ROM. I installed CM 10.1.3 and everything seemed to go smoothly. After I'd finished the install of the ROM, using safestrap and TWRP, I reinstalled all her apps and everything.
Then I reinstalled SuperSU, VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper, and Safestrap v2.11. I ran safestrap and noticed it said it didn't have custom recovery installed, even though I knew it did. I don't know why, but I hit the button to install custom recovery.
Well, her phone was being screwy so she reset it at work. It then began to bootloop, and she turned it off (power + vol up + vol down). I turned it on, the safestrap splash screen showed, and I hit "menu" to boot into recovery.
Instead of TWRP, I am getting the green and black stock recovery screen. Uh oh, right? So I don't know what to do now. I wiped cache and dalvik to see if it'd reboot, but still, it bootloops.
Do I hit "Disable Safestrap (if stuck in recovery)"? I'm afraid to do anything at this point, out of fear of bricking her device. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Did you try to install SS from within CM? SS is intended to be installed and managed on stock. Did you install CM on a new slot in recovery?
Also, the latest SS version is 3.60.
For future reference, your actions should've been these:
1. Uninstall custom recovery using whatever SS you have installed on stock.
2. Uninstall SS and install newest SS version.
3. Install custom recovery using the newly installed SS.
4. Reboot into TWRP, create NEW slot and flash ROM.
Right now, I'd recommend what nickmoogo said above - start fresh, and do everything in order this time around, good luck!

That's exactly what I did. I have no idea why I did it either. Since I was on v2.11, clearly it's been a while since I touched her phone. So there's no way other than starting over from stock firmware, huh? If I could just get back to the TWRP interface I'd be much more comfortable, but I know SS's version of TWRP is unique. If starting fresh is the safest bet, that's what I'll do. Thanks guys!

Someone more knowledgeable than myself could maybe advise more in this case. Start fresh is what *I* would've done.
Flashing stock is not that hard of a procedure, and after installing some roms and finding the one that works the best for you, you won't be seeing much of stock anyways, I know I don't.

[Q] Won't Boot After CM11

I just installed SafeStrap 3.65 on my phone, then created a new rom slot and installed CM11-M2. It seemed to install fine, but when I rebooted it just shows the red Motorola logo and then a black screen, nothing else. I have no way to get back into SafeStrap. I can get into the stock recovery, but it doesn't seem very helpful at the moment.
Any ideas on where to start would be greatly appreciated!
- James
Most likely not what you're looking for, but you could always fastboot back to stock if needed.
Did you flash anything else with cm?

This happened to me. I never could figure out what went wrong so I eventually did restore stock using Matt's utility ( used the option to do a full data wipe ). Then I booted into stock and accepted the OTA update from Verizon. Then I ran Matt's utility to gain root access, but I did not use Matt's utility to install SafeStrap.
Instead I downloaded SafeStrap 3.65 and manually installed it. At this point I could successfully boot into SafeStrap and create and activate a ROM slot ( I recommend creating slot 1 for CM10.x and slot 2 for CM11 ). I then installed CM and gapps and was able to successfully reboot into the custom ROM.

I ended up having to set everything back to stock and then re-root and install SafeStrap.

cool how to install/use it?
i want to reflash to stock because my 4g stopped working with carbon custom rom on moto rola droid razr x912
Yes... This worked for me.
After searching and trying for days, this has worked and I now have root access. Thank you.
Things that I set which may help others are:
I did a full factory reset and wiped all data and cache.
Connected via USB in "camera" mode rather than "Mass Storage"
Entered "Smart Actions" via Settings/Managed Apps.
System version was 98.72.165.XT912.Verizon.en.US
Android version:4.1.2
A common problem encountered when trying to root is when Smart Actions has already been initialised, either on a previously used system or of an unsuccessful attempt has already been made. In this case, simply go to applications and clear data for Smart Actions, then start over...

Hello, I am a noob to this and this would be my first post. I have an XT912 that was bone stock (been updated to Jellybean via network updates)and stuck in a bootloop. I have downloaded the droid razr utility (batman by Matt) to my Widows 7 computer, and tried the wipe all data option 1 and without wiping data option 2 and they both get stuck in the "writing system..." and that is as far as it goes. I've waited for hours, no change and eventually my battery has died. Yesterday I performed surgery on a cable and made a programmers cable so it will communicate and stay powered up as long as it is plugged in, I just can't seem get past the hang up when it goes to "writing system..." what could I be doing wrong here?

Re-bricked after using original Droid Razr Utility XT912
Please forgive me as this is my first post. After using the original Droid Razr Utility XT912, I was able to re-flash to JB 4.1.2 and updated to the latest OTA. However, I could not get the utility to Root my phone (kept saying outdated/expired adb or something to that effect), so I was able to get root via Kingo Root. I then noticed that there was an updated version of Safestrap (3.75) vs. what I had been using prior (3.73), but when i downloaded and installed the apk, the phone reboots to the safestrap splashscreen (which appears oversized for the phone compared to my former working version 3.73) for about 10 seconds, then the screen goes black. I tried wiping everything from within the android recovery and re-running your updated utility to no avail. Please don't tell me I've finally killed off my old reliable. Many thanks in advance

Once again, sorry for what appears to be off topic, but as I stated earlier, it wasn't until I tried to install safestrap 3.75 that I had the problem. I followed the install instructions for ss, but since there was no older version onboard following a) re-flashing clean stock ROM while wiping data, I didn't need to uninstall previous version. And, yes all I get when rebooting is a non-responsive safestrap flashscreen for approx. 10 secs, then a black screen.

you don't have to flash firmware to remove safestrap, if stock rom slot is still stock
boot to stock rom, open safestrap app, select uninstall recovery, press home button
Menu>Manage Apps> select safestrap uninstall
delete twrp and safestrap folders from internal and external sd cards
done

How do I recover from bad safestrap?

I had just recovered from a RDS lite flash and installed ss 3.73 on android 4.0.4 and was booting fine. I used ss recovery to do a system+webtop+(one more) backup. After that I could no longer boot to stock ROM. I then wiped dalvik but that didn't help. Is there any other way then RDS lite to disable ss?

No way to disable Safestrap and still boot stock, unless device is already in stock.
Suspect that if stock will not boot, it is no longer bootable, did you try restoring stock backup in safestrap?
That's what it's for.
or you could try my 6.16.207.XT908.LRA.en.US stock backup should work fine on the XT912, just doesn't have the Verizon bloatware

If you mean if I activated stock slot, then yes. I can't remember if I tried to restore my backup or not. I ended up just flashing with rds again. Of cause I had to do the setup all over again but it worked fine. I would just have hoped ss had a back-out option.

[Q] Rooted but can't get any ROM installed

@sd_shadow, I rooted my droid razr T912 using the iRoot method. I have bootstrap 3.72 installed and I had made a back up of the image prior to installing CM 11. I'm running into errors installing anything on my razr now. I tried to go back to my old image copy but I erased system along with dalvic, data so now it won't boot up. I still have access to bootstrap, can you help me please? Do I need to restore the factory image or since I have bootstrap is there a way to get a new image on without the system files?

I used Rootmaster.apk to root the phone. I used stargo's 3.75 Safestrap 31-Jan-2015 for the recovery.
I used cm-12.1-20150519-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip and
gapps-lp-20150314.zip
but like I said these fail, which is fine but I can't get my old image back because it fails at the system install. I think it's because I initially wiped system?

An update, I tried to re-install the old backup but without system, in which it didn't do anything but eventually came up to the bootstrap screen. It stated that I didn't have su and If I wanted to install the SU binaries. I clicked yes thinking that would get it to work and now I can't get the bootstrap screen, but I can only get to the bootloader now. It seems like I will need to revert back to the old firmware correct? In the AP Fastboot Flash Mode it says the device is locked btw.

TWRP is used with many devices. With some devices twrp can be flashed before rooting, and then you can root with TWRP, the XT912 is not one of those devices.
When you get not rooted warning in twrp, that almost always means Rom is not bootable or completely missing.
Do not reboot if you get that warning.

Thank you so very much
Alright, I'm back again. But this an interesting development. Let me describe the whole process.
I originally rooted using the Saferoot - [Video]Safe Root for Jelly Bean Android Devices like the Droid Bionic 4.1.2 & More @Tomsgt to root again. It worked like a charm. I updated the SU binaries from the updated SU app and placed SU in my system. My next step was to install safestrap 3.75 which I had the apk still on my internal memory and was able to install it successfully. I booted to the recovery and made a back up(which I'm curious to know if it actually worked this time, but I haven't flashed back to yet) which worked flawlessly. Now this time I wiped with just doing a simple dalvik cache wipe and installed CM12 per the directions and Gapps in this thread Official CM12 thread - Official Downloads (XT912). Everything appears to be fine but I noticed that I didn't have SU, I checked to see if the phone was rooted, which the jRummy root checker says no root. I've tried flashing a SU zip from this post Quote:

https://download.chainfire.eu/396/Su...etrieve_file=1 just flash superSU in ss recovery to gain root access.
So I can't seem to get root access which is bothering me, but not a deal breaker. I've also noticed that when I try to connect to the computer, my computer can't connect to the phone for some reason. So I'm curious to know how I can get root access again? Should I try saferoot again? I hope this is makes sense.....

https://download.chainfire.eu/396/Su...etrieve_file=1 just flash superSU in ss recovery to gain root access.
So I can't seem to get root access which is bothering me, but not a deal breaker. I've also noticed that when I try to connect to the computer, my computer can't connect to the phone for some reason. So I'm curious to know how I can get root access again? Should I try saferoot again? I hope this is makes sense.....

every rom has a separate superuser/binary, root access for stock has nothing to do with a custom rom.
if you can boot to twrp recovery, stock slot should be rooted.
rom slot you are installing cm12 in?
full file names?
verified md5s?

? slot options are 1 , 2, 3, 4 and stock.
If you installed Mentor.37's you also have a safe slot

I've googled and searched on xda about slots for the xt912, but I'm merely confused. So to answer your question I don't really know, but I'll keep searching....

You don't need to search, it says in twrp which slot is selected.
