Booting into recovery from the power menu is not supported. Either reboot and press the Menu button when the Safestrap splash screen comes up or use the Safestrap app to boot into Safestrap.

Then when the Safestrap splash screen comes up press the Menu button to go into recovery. If it doesn't come up at all, make sure you installed the recovery correctly and not just the app.

ok...installing safestrap is a 2 step process:
1. step one is to install the actual safestrap APK program
2. step two is to open safestrap program up and install the recovery.
then using your power off button to restart your phone, the safestrap splash screen will come up...hit the actual button (menu) to go into safestrap recovery, not the screen icon button.
please review the following thread before doing anything else to your phone

You can just uninstall the Safestrap App via Application Manager in Settings.
Having similar problem with safestrap
I have root access and SuperSU installed and working.
I downloaded the most recent version of safestrap (3.71 for mk2).
I open it and click install recovery. It does a few things and at the bottom it says "installed" but the status never changes to installed at the top and I can't reboot to recovery.
Any suggestions?
You may have to change SELinux to permissive.

what do you mean "reboot into recovery" ? you mean the option on the power menu? Or when you do a clean restart of the phone and you don't get the safestrap splash screen?

The option on the safestrap menu. It stays grey.
Don't you need BusyBox install first before installing Safestrap

I got safestrap working. I installed hyperdrive and it said it installed successfully. I told it to reboot, safestrap says it's enabled, I click continue and then nothing...
By the way, I really appreciate all the help so far.

use CWM to make your backups

adb reboot recovery
app called quickboot
rom manager reboot to recovery
3 finger salute
using the backup from rom manager facilitates a script to boot and backup
with samsungs recovery, and the implementation we have of cwm....just boot into recovery and do it from there

So I just tried to reboot to recovery, and got an "!" and then went to blue CWM, but then when I try to restart phone it's just putting me into blue recovery, and I can't seem to access any of the settings, and when I click anything I just get the hat icon. What's going on?

Go to the market and download "Reboot Recovery" a free app.
Then there will be no need to use rom manager.
All this app does is reboots you into cwm recovery and nothing else.
Just one click on the app's icon is all it takes.
Here is the link for "reboot recovery" http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/reboot+recovery
You can also just hold the power button and select reboot recovery
if you are running any of the custom roms here in XDA.
Good luck!

Yeah I'm just using the one touch quick-boot widget to go to CWM Recovery.
I'm running stock rooted with the cXXXX kernel (forgot his name) .. I haven't ventured out to other roms yet as I don't want to have to re-setup all my icons and apps, lol, lazy me

It more or less a very good replacement for Rom Manager and its fully compatible with our new phones.
You really should not use rom manager anymore or you will have problems :
At least forget about rom manager until they fix it to be really compatible

Hey
I've been trying for about 5 hours now with my mac (main computer) and a small netbook (windows) to fix my phone to no avail
Problem started when I tried to flash a rom and towards the rom finishing installation the phone froze and it all went downhill from there.
First the phone would do an endless boot loop and occasionaly it would go to a picture of a red triangle and red exclamation. Now it stays on CWM recovery and if I reboot, it goes to CWM again. Sometimes I get my mac to recognize the phone in CWM, otherwise it takes forever to get there. Any help would be phenomenal.
What phone, ROM, version of cwm.

ok did the rom flash ever finish successfully?
If not, flash again
if so,
restart to bootloader
open a terminal window on the mac and type fastboot erase cache.
reboot the phone.

you need to enter recovery and reflash the rom.
If you are in CWM Recovery, you can wipe cache from there. Look for the wipe option and afterwards go back to the install option and try to install the rom again. Hopefully you checked the MD5 checksum for the rom you downloaded.

reflash the rom the way you did it the first time.
if you're doing AHRD don't press the touch screen use the volume and power buttons to move through the menus
Why would you need to? I am assuming that you downloaded a rom, checked MD5, and then copied it over to your phone's internal SD Card. When you select install from within recovery, you need to scroll and select the file you want to flash. After selection, Aroma Installer will start and you simply follow the prompts.

I got the phone from a friend with 2 roms so I personally never put them there. In the process of messing up my phone I delete all the roms that were in the phone. when i go to "install zip from sdcard" there are 2 options : 0/ and clockworkmod/

Stay calm first. Its not too big. İnstall adb drivers on windows and plug your phone. Enter recovery. Mounts and storage. Usb connect. Then youll be connected to the pc. Copy new roms. And just try. İf its wont work, then try flashing kernel for your android version and phone. One of custom roms must be installed succesful.

Hello, I have safestrap and I have it saying that it's installed, but when I reboot into recovery it just does the normal process. I've also tried booting directly into recovery, and it just reboots its self back into normal boot.
Any ideas?
It should show up everytime you do a normally reboot or power on your phone.
I have never used the power menu to reboot into recovery but I'm thinking that is what you are doing instead of just doing a normal reboot.

That would have been nice to mention up front as Safestrap doesn't work on MJ7.
It sounded like you had it working and it suddenly stopped working. If you took the OTA to MJ7, yeah, you're stuck.
I'm on VRUDMI1, rooted and I installed safestrap. Then I installed CM rom on the stock rom (which is a mistake, I know this know).
Then I reboot and I get the Safestrap splash screen that says Safestrap disabled with recovery and continue button. If I click on the recovery button it takes me back in to Safestrap. But if I click on the Continue button, it turns off my phone. How do I fix this? I would like to remove Safestrap and get my phone working again. Thank you in advanced.
