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.

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

Phone: Droid Razr XT912 CDMA spyder
Current Custom Rom: Avatar Rom
Android Version on Custom Rom: 4.2.2
Kernel Version on Custom Rom: 3.0.8
Stock Rom Version: 4.1.2
Stock Kernel Version: 3.0.8
Current SafeStrap version: 3.11
I am trying to switch to [ROM] UnOfficial MIUIv5 Droid Razr xt912 CDMA 4.2.2 but do not quite know how?? The requirements for the ROM are what is causing me the hassle. MIUIv5 only works with kernel 3.0.8 and Jelly Bean 4.1.2 or 4.2.2, and can only be flashed using Safe Strap 3.65.
Do I have to completely unroot my phone and activate stock rom again and root again then re-download new version of safestrap then flash the desired rom, or is there an easier way? Plz help I am new to changing roms, walk me through the easiest way to go from Avatar Rom to MIUIv5.
No need to unroot or anythin.
Update your safestrap.
Delete and re-create the rom-slot.(MIUI works only in slot 1)
Wipe the slot,
Flash the ROM.

Thanks a ton for your help. One question, are you currently using MIUI v5? If you are, would you classify it as being stable? If not what are the some of the major issues that I should be aware of? Sorry for asking so much questions I just really want to sure myself that it is worth the switch. Thanks again for your help! Much Love! :good:

I used MIUI v5, and its stable as hell. All apps work and no random reboots. One of the best(if not the best) ROM on the Razr. Only issue i had that it ran a bit slow. Apps take marginally longer to open. Though i did not try JBX.

I'm using it at present in slot1
Its the most stable one for me. Everything works smoothly. The RAM usage is a little high, so you might need to freeze some system apps.
Overall, I'd totally recommended it.

Hello. I am currently running CM10.2 on my Verizon gs4. I want to flash hyperdrive instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724
This link tells me that I need to use safestrap but.. I'd rather not if I don't need to. Will I be able to do so? Also, where can I find the latest hyperdrive ROM for my phone?

If you're running CM then you have MDK. You don't need Safestrap. You should research first.

Yes, to add further explanation:
1) Since you can flash a ROM (CM) without Safestrap, it means that your bootloader is version MDK. KEEP IT THAT WAY. Anything later is locked and will not let you flash a ROM *without* Safestrap, much less a non-Touchwiz ROM like CM.
2) While there IS a Safestrap version of Hyperdrive, you do not need Safestrap to flash Hyperdrive. Use the other version of Hyperdrive, the one marked "---FOR MDK Base( TWRP/CWM Installation)" in post #2.
3) You generally only need Safestrap if you have a locked bootloader (later than MDK).

Thank you. I have done research. I've been scouring the web for the last 3 days trying to figure this out but I couldn't find anything. That is why I asked here. Also is the link I provided the latest hyperdrive rom? I can't seem to find a website with all versions.

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!
