Okay, complete re-write...
For MY guide (The point is, this is not all inclusive, nor does it dictate that its the only way... but if you want help on this thread....)
USE safestrap 3.65 (no exceptions)
USE kitkat 4.4 (no exceptions)
YOU MUST WIPE EVERYTHING - Use the Advanced button, in the wipe menu... Thats what its for... Advanced stuff... Like flashing over STOCK... (Its best to copy all your NEEDED data (Don't just copy everything), PLEASE DO NOT COPY /DATA /ANDROID/ /.SECURE ECT ONLY what YOU recognize
Please make sure ALL APPS work before using apps2sd /mounts2sd. (This means literally testing each app, one by one. In your app drawer. You'd be surprised how much doesn't work when not wiped/flashed properly (And sometimes even when done right)
Boot into recovery
Select "Boot options"
Select "Stock ROM"
Select "Wipe"
Select "Advanced Wipe"
Check mark every single box you see! (I mean it) (I hope you already went through your internal and external sd card and copied your pictures, music, videos, emails, texts, downloads, ect somewhere safe. NOT ON THE PHONE...
"Swipe to Wipe"
Select "Install"
Find and Select your flashable rom .zip
Select Add More Zips
Find and Select your flashable gapps .zip
"Swipe to Confirm Flash"
"Wipe Dalvik Cache"
"Reboot"
I would just like to confirm that flashing "Aviator CM11" on the stock partition does work and boots without problems.
Boot times are incredible compared to using slot 1-4
Enjoy not wasting 6gb of space!
Errors:
Could not install to usb or sdcard -playstore error : Either bug in rom, or you have installed that app, once upon a time on some other rom/same rom. Go to root explorer, and use the search function to find the left over files. (Try searching only one part of the word of the app) Or look in /data/data
Ya, noticed this in a few 4.4 RoMs. Like Avatar etc. I am using latest cm nightly with "ZERO" issues!!! Pretty good feeling. Apparently, imo, some RoMs have not been updated fully. This was an issue for many when using AOKP 4.3. Suggestions are in that thread, old suggestions at this point. But may be helpful!!

Please note : USE LATEST SAFESTRAP. I believe it was version 6.10 that started allowing proper stock slot flashing for custom roms, but the developer noted that only new versions would work, for example, anything below cm10.1 would NOT WORK. I used Aviator CM11 (4.4 kitkat)
So... I originally maxed out my space when creating a slot for my rom to fit in, which left me about 500mb for my internal sdcard. Using mounts2sd or other internal/external sd swaps gave me trouble one way or another (Camera refused to record to sd, so I would get interrupted during hd recording ect.). So I dived in and just erased all my slots, and installed my rom on the stock slot.

I did not wipe system. Only did a davilik/cache/data wipe. Installed Aviator CM11 on top. Rebooted. confirmed it works. Then installed JBX kernel. Which also worked just fine.
Now I have 6gb free on my internal sdcard!!
(The only problem I have is Aviator CM11 related, cannot install certain apps from the app store. "Could not install to sdcard or usb storage" )

Cool! I am running KitKat of Gnex as primary and it rocks. But, on primary phone, xt912, using Cm1 Kitkat on Slot 1 (Aviator) with old Jelly bean stock. UGH! So, u r saying u installed kitkat to stock and is all still good??? Why did you not wipe system since u threw out stock?
Also, not very sharp with JBX. Is itdiffcult to install? can u point me in the right direction.
Boot up on kitkat slot1 is sooooooooooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. would like to try it as primary. Any help is appreciated.
Gsm razr xt910?
Hey, will this methos work for GSM RAZR XT910?
For all: Flashing a Kexec Rom to stock system works fine whether with latest SS or with BMM! The stock system is working faster than any virtual slots, there's no "disk emulation". I am not sure about one thing: In theory the stock system could use less power than virtual slots - thos of you who ever installed Linux Mint near their Windows installation (Installation from Windows), where a virtual hdd disk image partition is being created. When installation Linux Mint this way the suspend mode is not available as usual. Maybe it works the same way on our phones?
I have been using Mokee on my stock slot for weeks now. Very stable, everything works (except HDMI because of source), and battery is pretty decent. I'm using SS 3.65, flashing to stock is painless, and I believe all Roms posted here are kexec based. I have used gummy, cm, mokee and slim on stock slot. But where can the "Aviator" Roms be found?

There is another forum located here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-vzw-droid-razr-roms-xt912/
There are some of the older Blur based ROMs, and the newer Aviator ROMs as well. Aviator has a Gummy, and a CM11 version. They tweak those ROMs with a few things and work well.
I have also installed KitKat Roms on the stock partion, which I started doing to free up room on phone. I also ran into the same issue trying to install one app ("can not install on USB or SD Card") and gplay subsequently gave a refund after going through their support system.
I tried JB Rom on stock partion but the install failed. BUT - I installed it on rom slot 1 and created a backup and the "recovered" that backup on the stock slot and it worked.
The aviator roms on http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-vzw-droid-razr-roms-xt912/ are pretty good. Running the aviator gummy (my current favorite) right now - early Jan version as the camera did not work on later Jan version - might be fixed now - haven't checked in a week.
What is the CORRECT WAY to install any custom ROM on the STOCK SLOT?
For example:
I was using SS 6.15
SLOT: STOCK ---- ROGERS CANADA JB STOCK ROM 4.12
SLOT: 1 ---- SLIMKAT 2.4
RIGHT Now I´ve installed:
SLOT: STOCK ---- SLIMKAT 2.5 RC1 (over the ROGERS CANADA JB STOCK ROM 4.12 )
SLOT: 1 ---- SLIMKAT 2.4
SLOT: STock is not working properly. Camera, browser, quick settings are not working.
SHOULD I enter SS 6.15, WIPE EVERYTHING on SLOT STOCK (DATA, SYSTEM,CACHE,DALVIK,etc) and re - FLASH SlimKAT 2.5 RC1 on SLOT STOCK??
Question here:
I am wanting to flash a custom 4.1.2 Rom on my stockside. Is this possible with SS?
Is it only possible with KK ROms?
Right now I have a modified latest .165 OTA running and nothing on my slots for SS.

Using file manager, go to internal storage, go into data/data and delete the offending apps. This is caused by left over files from a previous installation of that app. The hard way, but for sure way, is to wipe EVERYTHING. (internal storage)
The proper way, at least for me, to install on stock slot, is to:
Pull out my external SD card. Goto wipe, click advanced wipe, check everything. Wipe.
Then flash your custom rom, and don't forget your gapps if you use them. Reboot.

Yes, for the least amount of possible issues, use SS 1.65, and use a jb+ kexec rom. (4.1.2 should be fine)

I would say definitely try wiping everything to resolve the issues. That's always good for all ROM's if you're going from one ROM to a completely different one. About the only time I will dirty flash is if I'm just updating the current system I'm running. Even then I've had minor problems.

For example i want to flash slimkat to my stock partition using safestrap 3.65 for umts spyder, to flash it correctly i have only to do a wipe data/cache/dalvik cache? and then flash it over stock 4.1(which i'm currently running)?? or do i have to perform a format system/data/cache also? thanks in advance...
Yes, I would say you're going to have to wipe everything, being that Kit Kat and Jelly Bean are going to have two different types of system data. They will DEFINITELY conflict with each other if you don't do a full wipe.

Hey, I rewrote my guide for flashing on stock.
YES!!! Put that bad boy on stock and watch yourself cry out of sheer joy.. as if you got a new phone!
YES!!! Boot time is so much faster for stock slot than any other slot!!
Jbx kernel is easy to install. Google "xt912 jbx xda" and the guide will be there. Just download and go to safestrap and install it. Its a zip like everything else. Also check mark the moto x camera when the options pop up. 1080p almost 100% stock camera. (Only missing steady hand feature)
Just one thing.... Disabling core 1 of the cpu causes the phone to become incredibly more responsive... so not only is core 1 wasting my battery, its also slowing down the damn phone!!! EDIT: Using the built in CPU turner, and setting to performance finally fixed it for me.
if i wipe everything should't that wipe my intenal memory which contains the rom i want to flash?? i was lost at that part, where should i put the rom and gapps before flashing?

I currently have cwm .8 and vegan 5.1.1 running without issue and backed up.
I have tried several different gingerbread roms and all of them get stuck on the static image screen before the boot animation.
I have made sure to wipe boot, system, data, dalvik, and cache as well as running Calkulin's Format.zip all prior to rebooting. I also have tried installing the ROMs with or without the Google apps addition. All with the same results.
Internal SDcard partitioned to 2048/0
Is there anything else I can try?
Are you sure they are all hanging at the boot screen? Most of the roms first boot takes a awhile for the cache to get filled with the data it needs to perform.
After the first few boots everything usually goes smooth from then on.

I am a patient fellow. I waited 20min at minimum for each ROM and none have ever made it to the animated boot screen.
I'm having the same issue with mine.. vegantab 5.1 works fine..
none of the gingerbread based roms get passed the viewsonic logo for me.
Same problem here.
All of the GB roms freeze at the android screen.
I have tried everything, I am a serial flasher on my D1 and on the gtab with the froyo builds and consider myself very familiar with the process and it still confuses me...
These are all new gTabs right? Have any of you repartitioned the internal sdcard yet? That option is in CWM recovery. There is a thread on it somewhere too. Basically it wipes the /SDCARD space and repartitions it. The FAQ thread has information on partition sizes too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874258

I have been using the highly recommended 2048/0 as I did not see any details in the threads for the GB ROMs detailing otherwise. Sorry I forgot to mention that in my OP.

Repartitioned to 2048/0 and also tried 4096/256. Issue persists

Some progress! Following these steps will erase EVERYTHING from your device including the internal SD. Backup everything before you start.
After doing another restore to stock using nvflash
wipe everything via cwm (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik)
repartition sd to 4096/256
copy vegan ginger edition over to internal sd
it installed and booted up!
-edit-
and then I tried to install gapps and it won't boot again
Ran out of battery power to fully test but finally got it to boot after gapps install. Here are the steps I had to take:
wipe everything via cwm (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik)
repartition sd to 4096/256
Restore to stock using nvflash
did not let it boot into stock
reinstall .8 cwm from external sdcard
in cwm copy vegan ginger edition.zip and gapps.zip over to internal sd
Installed ROM then gapps
reboot
(note: after returning to stock I did not wipe anything with cwm)

Good work, quick question, you said you reinstalled cwm from external sdcard, does that mean you used the "cwmod_microsd.zip" from the "[STICKY][GUIDE] Install ClockworkMod, a ROM, Flash Player, and the Market Fix" post?
I have always used the internal one and was wondering if that made a difference.

Yes that should be the same file. Looks like it was recently renamed as I had it labeled external rather than microsd. It isn't really a different cwm I used it so I wouldn't have to let the stock OS boot up and I kept it on the external sdcard so when I repartitioned the internal card I wouldn't loose it. I reloaded to stock many, many, many times trying to get this to work.
I'm currently using the experimental VEGAN Ginger Edition. It has some nice features but the videos for Dungeon Defenders don't play, and the keyboard is a little strange.

This work for anyone else? These Woot batches are introducing some issues.
I've had my tablet since early Feb. and I had issues with GB roms when I started trying them too. I found that the steps that worked best for me were pretty much the same as above. Mine are assuming that the tab is coming from something other than stock...
Wipe data,cache,dalvik and Battery Stats... (not sure the battery stats wipe matters)
NV Flash back to stock
Load CWM .08
Repeat Wipe
Load GB Rom
Repeat Wipe
Load rom devs recommended gapps version
Reboot
This USUALLY results in success. I still have mixed results getting gapps installed with some GB roms...once in a while I have to change up the steps and reboot PRIOR to gapps.
I've only had to repartition a few times, but the 2/0 option is the norm for me...and I usually only have to do this after I've made a big mistake, or things start to act "off" with the tablet.....
I think I read in one of the posts over on the dev side that most of the roms are written with the stock bootloader in mind and that it's just good policy to learn NVFlash and use it if you have any issues going from one rom to another.
I've been spending A LOT of time on this site since I got my gtab, too much probably. Usually, about 6 pages into a rom post, the answers to whatever issues we have with install are answered. It seems like mostly page 1 - 4 are people excited to flash...or saying thanks... pages 4 to like 10 are full of the answers to the questions "Why can't, Why didn't, how come..."...and then 10 - 10000 are just plain fun to read. ;-)
Good luck, this Tab is a ton of fon. I was super excited when the woot sale went down. I figure if even 4 or 5 more programmer types ordered one....that could mean 4 or 5 new roms for us to play with!

What process did you follow is it the same as tdg2100
Edit: I follow the same process as TDG2100 and it works w00t!! I think this should be included in a sticky somewhere people are going to struggle with this if they don't know how to get out of it.
Also question. Does this mean EVERY ginger ROM I have to flash has to go back via the NVFlash ROM route or can I just upgrade? Just curious, though at this point CM7 w/TT I doubt I'll be changing soon.

Matt
I had the same issue and I fixed it by:
1) Boot to clockwork
2) Go to mounts and storage and click "format system"
3) Then wipe data/factory reset
4) After that clear the cache
5) Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
6) Install cm7
7) Install gapps
8) Reboot
Now everything is working for me.
Hi XDA !
I also am stuck at the ViewSonic Birds window - I know how to install CWM etc but I cannot get this to be recognized on a PC via USB. Its almost like the USB isnt started on the GTablet. How do I reboot this thing? Holding down the Power and + button has no effect...
I've tried several times to install the custom ICS ( [ROM] CM9 / LiquidSmooth / AOKP / Random ICS ), but WiFi is not coming on.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Better yet, I am trying to flash the latest ICS ROM to my thunderbolt that is stable.
Seems most have some sort of reboot problem
So far I have tried all the Liquid Smooth - very nice ROMs but get random reboot
PS
From about phone, I see the following
Mode version: liquid mecha.mr3.100212
Build number: Liquid ICS v1.5MR3-JMOD
Radio: 2.00.00.0308, 0.02.00.0312r

No problem, hope you enjoy.
There's also a DeSensed version, called UnSense, which you likely saw as well.
See ya around that way.
Yes, I saw it and am trying to learn the differences between these 2 ROMs - so far better battery life stands out
Looks like I will be spending a lot more time there.
By the way, I was looking at your ext4 instructions (re-printed below for clarity - hope you don't mind)
Select Wipe/Format Menu Option
Wipe cache and dalvik
In the same Wipe/Format Menu: Wipe all partitions except SD
Now back in 4ext main menu: Select Tools
Select Format ext3 option I chose ext4 instead of ext3
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
Now go back to the main menu and select the rom .zip to install
I chose ext4 instead of ext3 - could this be the cause of my random reboots using Liquid Smooth ICS ROM?
When I flash your ROM, I will choose to format ext3 - just to be sure (heh heh heh):laugh:

You can't use ext4 file system with nusense or unsense yet because the kernel doesn't support it. The random reboots with twisted ics could be related but I can't be sure since I haven't used it in a while.

I tried the nusense ROM and formatted using ext3
Am still getting WiFi to drop randomly
At times it turns itself off - when it does that I see "out of range'.
Google Market changed to "Google Play", and most of the times that process stops working and prevent me from installing my apps
WiFi turns off and prevent update from Google Play as well - since I have it setup to update over WiFi
Also, am getting lots of process is not responding messages like "process.com.android.phone is not responding"
I get these messages very frequently.
I may go back to using LiquidSmooth ICS8 mr3v1
Are you sure you formatted all the partitions in ext3? The only way I get those messages are when I don't format properly. Also, maybe try clearing cache and data in the phone app and as for the market trying clearing data and cache. It may not hurt to run a fix permissions in the recovery. Does you wifi problem only happen with ics roms?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
If you do not format all partitions in ext3 format, you will have issues.
If you are not waiting until after the initial setup to sign into the market, that is likely an issue.
You need to wait until the home screen has set up and the device settles.
Then reboot, wait a minute and then sign into the market.
In my FAQ, you will see, the Market is the Play Store, no difference, just themed.
It has updated since the rom's last update and will do so when you sign in.
It's just an incremental update, but the theme goes away that I included for it an so does the custom icon and "Market" name.
If you do the above and still have issues, clearing the market (Play Store) app data and cache should sort you out.
If you are restoring data from another rom, then that is why you are also having force closes or wifi issues.
You cannot restore wifi data from an AOSP based rom that uses a GB kernel and expect that the same config will work well with the ICS rom and kernel.

Are you sure you formatted all the partitions in ext3? The only way I get those messages are when I don't format properly. Also, maybe try clearing cache and data in the phone app and as for the market trying clearing data and cache. It may not hurt to run a fix permissions in the recovery. Does you wifi problem only happen with ics roms?

Yes, I am sure I formatted the partition in ext3
I cleared data, davlik factory reset etc
The only thing I did not do was "fix permission"
After installing all my apps, I booted to recovery and did the swipe thing again
Yes, my WiFi issue is only with ICS ROM, specifically this one (during and after setup)
So far the LiquidSmooth ICS 1.5 MR3 is working the best for me.
No WiFi issues at all, but I still do get occasional reboots.
Did you wipe boot and system partitions before flashing the rom?

I am starting WiFi from scratch by turning it on, wait for it to scan and locate available networks.
Then I select my SSID and enter my keys to activate it.
At times I am downloading from Google Play, and will loose WiFi intermittently.

Yes Sir, I did all that
I really appreciate all your efforts and your replies both to you and to Santod, I really, really do!
At this time, I resign myself to the fact that some of these ICS ROMs are not yet in their final stages and will wait patiently.
A huge Thanks for the great work to all developers, busting their humps to get this done.
I'm back baby
A funny thing happened to me yesterday, and I'm still laughing
Previously, I mentioned that I was tempted to downgrade my radio, but decided to go back to Liquid ICS v1.5MR3V1
So far I was still getting random reboots - way too many for my taste.
After reading numerous posting, I decided to roll back my radio from 2.00.00.0308, 0.02.00.0312r to 1.49.00.0406w_1,0.01.79.0331w_1.
But, in doing so, I accidentally installed the leaked ICS ROM instead (2.11.605.19).
So I thought I was downgrading my radio, but ended up installing the leaked ROM :laugh:
Incidentally, I also un-rooted my T-bolt - Thanks to the new tool I was able to quickly root it back.
Luckily, I also backed up the previous ROM, and was able to restore it.
All in the sudden, my T-bolt is back - everything is working fine and no more reboots :victory:
To Recap, after downgrading my radio to the leaked radio 1.49, all is well again .
My T-bolt is running so good that I am hesitant to load the latest ROMs.
My choices are the nuSense beta 17.2 or AOSP 4.0.4 ICS [Multi-Source]
Is it a wise decision to upgrade or should I stay put
That updated nusense is amazing but I wouldn't run it with the full leaked radios. I use the combo of the. 19/leaked radios and they work great.

Thank you sir, for your prompt reply!
Sounds like I need to give the NuSenseROM a try, but ....
1) what's so amazing about it, and how does it differ from what I'm currently using (where can I get screenshots)
a) I know its been reworked - but that's over my head (for now)
2) I am not entirely sure what the combo 19/leaked radio is, is it this ".19 cdma and the ICS LTE radio" posted by Santod?
Thanking you in advance.
1) Basically everything works the way it was intended to. Camcorder included. Only drawback is battery is slightly worse than Twisted's build.
A) He rebased the rom using the official Droid Incredible 2 ota which is a better base since the original base was from the leak that sucked balls big time.
2) Yes
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I now have the NuSenseROM installed - so far so good.
No reboots yet and I am still using the 1.49.00.0406w_1,0.01.79.0331w_1 radio
The ROM is nearly flawless, but I wish it had the phone dialer interface, and the people interface of the Liquid Smooth ROM
I love the fact the camcorder works, but I wish it also had the ICS camera (But I can download it).
I am using Go SMS Pro, and this ROM is not linking my accounts pictures there (bummer)
The Liquid Smooth ROM showed my accounts picture on that app.
I am using and synchronizing my Google, Verizon, Facebook, and Voxer accounts
Hi all,
I'm not new to Android and flashing ROM's but I've always had Galaxy phones. I just updated my SGS3 to SlimKat last week and love it. My friend has a RAZR MAXX that is giving him problems and I told him we could probably flash a new ROM to it and improve its performance. I've read through a few threads and watched the video's on the top of the general page and see that SafeStrap seems to be the way to put new ROMS on the RAZR. My questions are:
1. Can you use TWRP or another recovery to install ROMS or is SafeStrap the only way?
2. Do you have to keep the stock ROM if you use SafeStrap?
3. Is there a way to reflash the factory ROM if you do replace it using either TWRP or SafeStrap?
Thanks for any help.
Dave
Safestrap is the best recommended way. There is a BBM option but it is incompatible with newer builds and has failed to be updated. I personally use and highly recommend SS
2. You do not. Newest SS 3.65 allows for stock flashing where you cab overwrite stock instead of using the virtual slots.
3. Indeed there is. Matt's Utility is the best way. Completely simplified and includes root and other option. Goes through ap fastboot and works well I have used it to recovery or flash stock many times.

Ok, so I got Root on the RAZR and installed Sidestrap no issues, I also got SlimKat installed in ROM slot 1. That worked fine but none of the apps carried over obviously. So I did a Titanium backup of the apps my friend wanted from the stock rom and tried to install SlimKat in the stock Rom. It worked but it didn't wipe the internal SD card and do a clean flash like I expected it to do. Also once the phone came back I could not see the internal or external SD card on my pc to move all of the backups back over to it. What am I doing wrong here?
1. how can I get the internal memory to show back up when connected to my PC? It worked fine before.
2. how can I do a complete fresh install where it wipes the internal memory card totally?
Thanks for any help, I'm totally lost on this device.
Thanks,
Dave
What I would do. Move ROM zip to SD card as well as any other zips you plan to install. Wipe all on stock slot except SD card and then reinstall this should reset all the data and make the internal visible again as it was hidden through some error and wipe it in the process. Be sure you have a working ROM on the SD card to flash before doing the wipe as you need something to boot to afterward otherwise you will have no OS. Best of luck

This was my first time rooting an S4. I installed safestrap and installed Hyperdrive rom. My issue is that my internal storage is completely full. It says that misc files is taking up 15gb of space and it's system memory.

I'm in the same boat. Trying to find out if I can install HyperDrive over the Stock ROM without bricking the phone. I'm hoping that will free up a lot of space as I would need to wipe the slot prior to installing. Just a little worried about doing it.
One thing I did do was boot into Stock and remove all apps, updates, and as much stuff as I could. This didn't have any effect on the loss of space. I know that while digging through posts on these forums I saw a lot of outrage when the S4 first came out about all the bloatware that took up a good 6gigs of space on a stock phone.
Also when I did the backup of the Stock ROM onto the SD card, I made sure that I moved it off the SD Card and onto an external Hard Drive for safe keeping and to free up some space on my SD Card. I also deleted the HyperDrive install as well since it is 1.xGigs of space on the SD card.
Sorry I don't have anything really to contribute, but would be interested in hearing if you find a way to free up some space as well.
I run all of my roms in stock slot because of that very reason. I have a stock rooted backup I keep on my computer so it doesn't accidentally get deleted from SD card and to also save space on my external. I haven't had any problems at all with running any tw based custom roms in the stock slot. Just make sure your base is compatible with the roms you flash. HD15 requires mj7 or mk2 just do like normal and flash the modules after the install and before booting into the rom.
Profit and enjoy the extra space [emoji1][emoji106]

The best way to do this is to Odin to stock, root, install safestrap, copy System/lib/modules folder to ext SD or comp. Back up stock slot in safe strap recovery. Then wipe stock slot and flash hyperdrive 15 and mk2 or mj7 (according to your build) modules. Reboot then replace system/lib/modules with the one you copied from stock and Fix it's permissions.

Something that will save plenty of time would be to backup your slot 1 and wipe your stock slot then restore your hd15 backup of slot 1 and restore it to the stock slot and flash kernel modules for good measure. Delete slot 1.

Your post confuses me. I tried flashing hyperdrive to stock then modules, and i had no wifi. And this is directly from hashcodes safestrap thread
.*DON'T RESTORE A CUSTOM ROM-SLOT BACKUP TO THE STOCK ROM. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
The only way I've had it work is the method I posted above.
Have you successful restored a tw custom rom to stock slot or are you just assuming it will work?

Ah. Gotcha. I must have just gotten lucky then haha.
I will omit that so nobody runs into that.
I did restore from slot 1 to stock. But what I did was backup slot 1, wipe everything on stock slot, restore backup to stock slot then flash modules.
Like I said though I must have gotten lucky.
But why would you want to copy the files in the lib folder? Isn't that the same as flashing the modules before booting into the rom?

All I know is that I tried just flashing modules and wifi wouldn't even turn on. When I researched it the solution above is the one I found.
k1mu said:
Here's what you do to recover your Wifi.
First, if you didn't overwrite the stock slot:
1. Boot your stock slot.
2. Copy the two files in /system/lib/modules to your EXTERNAL sdcard.
3. Boot the custom slot.
4. Use your favorite root file manager to mount /system read-write, then copy those files from the external sdcard into /system/lib/modules in your custom slot.
5. Reboot. Wifi should be back.
Second, if you flashed over the stock slot: :crying:
Well, you've written over the factory modules. You'll need to get them back.
A. Find someone with the same device as you that's unmodified and ask them for the contents of /system/lib/modules. Copy them to your /system/lib/modules.
B. Remove Safestrap and install a factory stock ROM. You can now use Safestrap to flash into a different slot and use the directions above.
If you INSIST on flashing over the factory ROM again (i.e. you haven't learned why that's a bad idea), then copy off the files to your external sdcard before you install Safestrap, then go to step 4 above after you finish flashing the custom ROM.
C. Take apart a factory ROM image and extract the contents of the /system/lib/modules directory onto your external sdcard. Go to step 4 above.

Hmm. Well that is good to know for future flashes. I guess I probably wouldn't have been looking for a solution like that unless I had that problem.

Like you said, you were lucky. Because if the module zip were the same, why would one need to get the unmodified one from a stock rom rather than downloading the one from the safestrap thread? I'm guessing the module zip is meant to work on rom slots and not the stock. Idk how yours worked, but to the OP : flashing to stock slot is not recommended by hash and you won't get any support/help from him as he states in his thread, so proceed at your own risk. But the above method has worked for me and others . Good luck.

Yeah. I have the patience to work with it. Plus I been with safestrap since it first came out for the razr so I knew what I was getting into when I unfortunately had to do a warranty claim on my mdk due to a faulty touch screen digitizer.
If I get it screwed up too bad I just start over with Odin.

Flashed HyperDrive RLS15 over the stock ROM this morning. Flashed the Modules before reboot and after install. Only issue I had was TouchWiz Home crashing on occasion, but a kindly soul on here told me it looked like it was an issue associated with restoring data. Although I didn't restore data, I also chose to just flash over the Stock ROM and use the installers Wipe/Factory Reset option instead of wiping the ROM slot first. All I had to do was boot into recovery with SafeStrap and Wipe the new ROM, reboot, and good to go.
Oh, and the free space on the device using the flashed Stock ROM is now close to 6Gigs! Oh the Glory! Gonna give everything a few days and if it all remains good to go, I'll delete the RLS14 ROM and maybe try some other ROM's out, now that I have room.

1. You can just wipe stock slot and install CM on it. You have to do it fresh and not restore a backup from another slot.
2. Why do you need to edit your build.prop?

1. No, stock slot, is stock slot... all of that is predetermined space of the partition... If you have titanium backup Pro and a custom launcher... all you will really lose is time. Make sure you are saving to ext. sd just to be safe, backup your user apps, backup again for modified data, and you are fine. For the custom launcher, save your setup. After you flash over, restore. Depending on what/how much you have it could take a couple hours... some games that require extra data, you will still have to download it but, your progress should still be there. Double check if it is a game, as some of them only save via a cloud.
2. I may be ignorant to your particular situation/apps, but, if your previous device was a an android device, and you saved your contacts to your google I.D. they should be waiting for you, when you reactivate from the wipe/flash. When I got my first droid years ago, I was coming from a crappy flip phone from att, they were able to flash my conacts from the att sim over to my new droid. All my contacts are now saved via google.. so it doesn't matter what phone I boot up.. my contacts are waiting for me.
If I helped you, hit the thanks!

Keep slot 1 and it's backup til you have the stock slot the way you want it. That way, if you forgot something, you still have what you need til you figure out what you missed and it isn't gone for good.
When you do your wipes DO NOT TOUCH internal storage and micro SDcard... that is all your personal data.. there is where your backups are... you wipe them your screwed.. pictures.. music, all of it is gone, and no one can help you!

Lol.. now you know why you wanted to keep slot 1. Either the stock ROM didn't get fully wiped, the CM11 didn't install properly, or it was a bad download.
So. Just a recap, you are using safestrap 3.65 or higher. When you did your wipe, did you just factory reset, or did you go into advanced wipe and wiped Dalvik cache, android secure, data, cache, and system? The CM thread recommends advanced wipe, and doing it three times!

Not stupidity. Ignorance (for lack of a better word... look up the true meaning if you are taking offense.)
And just so you know, you probably went through a few extra more steps than you needed too. Stock wasn't damaged, just needed to be thoroughly wiped then reinstalled. Also if you had a backup of Slot one, after you did the firmware reflash with RSD then root and recovery, you could have just restored your slot 1 backup.. same thing, less time. Just a couple of tips.
It is certainly good that you aren't afraid to just reflash a fresh firmware though, that can solve a lot more problems than you think. Hone your searching skills, and you are golden
