Hey. I was searching about this topic and i don't find a concrete answer. Some people say yes, others say it's impossible. I would like to know if i can flash a Rom in Stock slot without any problems. And How. What recovery i would use? and What Rom?
I'm Thinking in SS and Carbon Rom for that. What do you recommend?

Stock slot offers you nothing other then over writing the stock and saving internal storage space. Down fall is if you mess up your stock slot you will end up having to rsd the phone again. I like stock slot because I think in my opinion that the rom will run smoother. Not sure if that holds true but so far so good....

The first thing you want to do is backup your stock ROM before flashing another ROM in the stock slot. It's optional, but highly recommended.
Just do the standard wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache) this is all that you need to wipe. Then flash the ROM, then Gapps. And you're set.
I've flashed custom ROMs at least 40-50 times in the stock slot and have never, ever encountered any problems. Just follow the steps above.

Ok so as I'm still new to this and currently have a rooted Aria, with clockwork mod recovery and attn1's liberated rom, I'm kind of confused as to what would happen if I wanted to try a new custom rom. I know I would need to backup first with nandroid but is that just in case I need an emergency recovery or does that recover apps and data etc? I know then you would need to wipe, does that also wipe my clockwork mod recovery as in I would have to flash that again? After I install my new custom rom, how do I restore previous apps/settings? Thanks for your patience
Your ROM and where clockwork recovery are seperate so even if you had to wipe your phone clockwork will still be in place.
And from my limited understanding, flashing a ROM shouldn't affect your data, otherwise you would have lost everything when you flashed attn1's ROM

Well if you flash a new ROM, most of the time you have to wipe before you flash; you do lose your information this way, but its to make sure you install the ROM without difficulties.

So how can you backup/restore your info when you have to wipe? Whats the easiest method?
Either use titanium backup to separately backup info or use nandroid backup and advanced restore the data partition but note that the advanced restore doesn't work with every combination of roms

I'm pretty sure attn1's ROM was an exception to that because it was the standard HTC Sense ROM without the AT&T bloatware. If you tried to install the Intruder 2.1 I'm almost positive you would have to wipe and lose everything before upgrading.
Sorry, I'm a noob here, and might not know what the heck I'm talking about.
After flashing a rom\keypad\kernel, and i see that it is working properly, do I need to leave it on the root of my sd card anymore or can I delete it? I am working with a 8gb card and it seems to be filling up fast.

You can delete them. It is 100% completely safe to delete all of them after flashing them. But if its something you really like (like a special kernel, favorite rom, etc.) you may want to keep a backup somewhere (e.g on your pc).
Hi, I have razr maxx with ics android and safestrap with cm10.1. I read some topics and get to know that:
a) jb doesn't use webtop partition
b) cm on safestrap could work a little bit slower than on stock slot
So my question is, what should I do to get max possible speed, and max possible avalible space. It would be great if someone with big knowleadge could write a tutorial how to do it.
In fact I have no idea but I want to know:
a) is easy to unbrick phone if something goes wrong
b) is something other than cid what should i backup
c) is any reason to have stock ics or should i flash to jb
d) can i back to ics from jb
e) is it possible to repartition device (remove webtop patition)
f) how to instal cm on stock slot? can i do it in safestrap or should i use bmm?
Thanks in advance. Please give me any information connected with it, maybe link to other topics or just write
you cannot flash in the stock rom slot. it will damage the phone.you will have to reinstall via fastboot files if you mess with the stock rom slot. its a *****.

are you sure its impossible?
yes im pretty positive..i mean by all means go ahead and try it tho. your gunna be posting a thread asking how to fix it afterwards tho.
ok, no flashing on stock,
so what about rest question, should i stay on 4.0.4 or get 4.1.2? can i remove webtop partition and increase size of data?
currently i'm running cm 10.2 on stock rom slot, safestrap recovery
all I did was wiping /system and /data before installing the rom (do not forget to perform a factory reset, too)
for me, biggest benefit of stockromslot is clean internal storage.

You should wipe and recrate the stock slot and make one of the other slots in stock slot.

You CANNOT delete stock slot.
You can only wipe it.
If you need to free space, delete one of the other slots, or as above post says, move one of your Rom to stock slot and then delete that one.

No, the safestrap that you are talking about is the safestrap.apk. You use that to install/uninstall the hijack that safestrap uses to boot into recovery. Since you have root rights, you gave safestrap the OK to install a bootloader hijack, which operates before the OS(ROM) is loaded up. If you wiped stock slot, then rebooted the phone with out installing a ROM, the hijack would still be there, you would still be able to boot into recovery, you just wouldn't be able to go any farther than recovery. You would just get a black screen afterwards because, well, there wouldn't be a ROM for it to boot too.
If you wipe the stock slot, then install the ROM and Gapps that you want back onto that slot, everything would be fine.
Also from what I understand you CANNOT restore a backup from another slot to stock slot. You will have to do it fresh.
Hope this helped
Thanks a lot for ur nice guide.. Will give a try... Which rom is best suitable for flashing in stock slot.. Is there is any problems if I wipes the stock slot??,and what are the benefits will get by wiping stock slot?? Dhacker released safestrap 3.72 I installed 3.65..

Only real benefits of putting a ROM in stock slot is saving space on your internal sd card. There are other, little conveniences but that is the main one
I don't know what you mean about installing the recovery without the stock ROM. Safestrap is a root required.apk(application) that installs a hijack for a custom recovery. Once installed it stays there like I said in the previous post, til it is uninstalled or upgraded, or you flash a fresh firmware with a utility.
You don't want to upgrade it without having a ROM installed prior. The new safestrap .apk gives you the option of uninstalling the old 3.65 hijack then installing the new 3.72, it won't install over the old, you have to remove it first. You have to do this in the application, not in recovery, so that means a ROM will already have to be installed.
Right now you should just concentrate on flashing a ROM in stock slot if that is what you want, worry about the recovery update later, as it isn't a requirement. Maybe do some reading first so you have a better understanding of what you are doing before you do it. And figure out how to get yourself out of a problem before you get into it.
As for ROM's, all of them work with safestrap. All of them have their own individual kinks, bugs, and fixes. You would have to read through the individual ROM's forums see which ones you want to try out. I like SlimKat myself, and there are also custom JB ROM's. Since you are using a xt912 you will want spyder versions of ROM's not umts-spyder, that is for xt910
Thanksbfor the fruitful info

you seem to klnow what you are talking about. I need help bad. I deleted the stock rom but didn't flash another rom over that slot but just used slot 1 because thats what i had been using and now the phone doesn't boot. I don't get the safestrap logo either. Just the moto logo and then a black screen. Is the phone hard bricked or can I save it somewhow?

If you are only going to have one slot has to be stock. If you read hashcode's information on that you would have known. Since you are getting the Motorola logo, your bootloader is still there. You are a repairable softbrick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467
This is matlgrofs utility for the xt912.. make sure to thank him. Follow the direction's EXACTLY!
It will flash a fresh firmware on your phone. And allow you to root it. The safestrap .Apk is a 2.xx Version so your backups wont work with it. So after you flashed the firmware and rooted, you can install the newer safestrap Apk.
Battery life is pretty important with this process, so the phone needs to be 100 (the phone doesn't charge in AP) you cannot cut this corner, if your battery goes dead in the middle of the firmware flash your phone very well will become a brick

thanks for the reply. I actually figured it out on my own. I already had that utility because I used it to root. I just didn't realise I could use it to recover the phone from a soft brick. I also didn't know what the button combo was but I did some reading this morning and thanks to the helpful post of others in various threads I sorted everything out. So everything is running good now and I'm using liquid smooth kitkat with ART enabled and tethering works so I'm happy. This is my first experience with a motorola device and so far it's been the easiest to get rooted and a custom recovery installed, but that whole rom slot thing through me off. thought since I had a rom installed already I could just wipe the stock rom but learned it doesnt work like that...so now I know. Thanks again for the reply though, your info is spot on
This is intriguing to think about, so can safestrap be uninstalled / installed from any working rom slot with any working custom rom?
I can see why this would be helpful, especially to save internal space. Is there a good minimalistic custom rom with enhanced utilities that could be installed in the stock slot for maintenance purposes? Or should I just backup my stock rom and put my favorite rom in the stock slot and just use it for advanced maintenance?
I do think though the first option might be smarter since it's good to have a maintenance stock rom that won't be modified through regular use to be able to boot into for specific tasks.
Any recommendations for stock slot replacement? you did mention slimkat, but are there any ultra basic yet utility heavy custom roms out there for spyder? (I'm using XT912)
Also do I need to do any other specific backup of my stock rom? other than the full back up in safestrap?
Hi guys, I've owned this tab (p4wifi) for a few years now and for sure loads of junk has been building up in it. I've used dozens of ROMs in the past and it seems to be slowing down. Now the slowness isn't the issue, I just want to revert it back to full, pure stock as in Unrooted stock ROM from sammobile with no user data whatsoever. Exactly like the first day I got the tab, no pics videos or anything that I took.
I live in Malaysia so I'll be using this: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=5982
So now the problem is how to exactly go about doing this? I'm currently running CM10.2 with CWM installed and I want all my user apps, photos and videos gone too, like everything. I understand that i have to boot in Download Mode and use ODIN to flash that ROM image, but hat are the steps before or after that I have to take to remove all my user data? Would really appreciate it if I could have a step by step procedure.
Thanks alot guys

well before flashing the KERNEL image....
it is not quite necessary to totally wipe the phone..
bt to ensure a clean install it can be done...
while.... since u want to return to pure stock.... it is better to first restore your first cwm backup which u made just after rooting.....
coz flashing a kernel wont remove the custom scripts bt only disable it.....
so wat i say is... first restore ur just-after-root cwm bakup.... after that flash your kernel which u will download from sammobile. com.
and then u will have a pure stock unrooted phone like in the beginning

Yup that's the one that wipes everything. Sometimes the tab feels sluggish, depending on what i use it for, like heavy multitasking and such, but overall its pretty smooth. BTW, I'm running SlimSaber 4.3 on my tab. I feel that 4.3 gives the best performance for our tab and 4.1(pershoot's cm10) is the most stable.

If you're going to revert to pure stock, just flash official firmware via ODIN. Boot into stock recovery and factory reset. It will also wipe the contents for internal sdcard.

On stock ROM? I'd recommend A1 kernel or Yoda kernel. Yoda kernel is quite outdated and doesn't contain the l2_hsic wakelock fix if you have the 3g version, but its pretty good. A1 on the other hand, is a fan favourite. Both have performance governors and if I'm not mistaken also powersave governor, but honestly I've never tried trickster mod so I can't tell you that.

Thank you sir, great help so far heh. I ended up flashing the rooted deodexed stock ROM i found in the forum but after flashing I chose to disable stock recovery flash, does that change anything? My first boot wasn't successful so I went to reflash the ROM again in CWM and it got stuck in "Opening update package". I restarted the tab and it booted up normally. Is the stock ROM interfering with the custom recovery? :3

To answer your question, I don't think it changes anything, but saying no to stock recovery flash seems to be the right way to go. And no, stock ROM does not interfere with the custom recovery.

It's alright everything's working now Now another problem popped out I wiped my internal memory which means all my photos and everything non system related, and it did, my tab was practically empty buttt the tab doesn't register it as that ._. The storage part in settings shows that I have used up like 12GB of space even though I have wiped everything clean, I did an SD card folder analysis with ES file explorer and although it showed the same 12GB used, the folders shown do not add up to that, could it be the indexes are not updated? Because I don't see anything that could be eating up all that space

If the sdcard is empty, that means something is hogging your space somewhere in /data. What version of Android were you on before and now?

Just like the title says. I am unable to flash anything to the stock slot on SS. I have tried ,any different times. I have tried wiping the slot and then flashing a fresh version of the ROM I use and also wiping and restoring a previous backup. Everytime when I go to boot the phone it gets stuck on a black screen during boot up. I end up having to use Matts tool and reinstall things back to stock including having to reroot. Anyways I would love to use my stock slot. Any help would be great. thank you

Did you use advanced wipe and select everything except Internal Storage and Micro SDCard?
The stock ROM system partition is only 636mb; is the ROM and GApps package you're using small enough to fit there?

Yes I did use the advanced wipe and wiped all but internal/external SD cards. On the partition thing I'm not sure. Never looked at file size but I'm flashing LS with minimal gapps...others claim to have it on stock slot also.
So after I flash the stock slot on boot it gives me red moto logo. Then black screen. But its not 100% black. I can see some backlight is on cause I can see the splotches in the screen. If I press buttons like volume up the phone with vibrate a few times. Not sure what its doing but I end up having to reinstall system from scratch to fix it. I was hoping for an easy fix

Once I also had problems to flash with SafeStrap on stock slot. Then I had the idea to flash the custom ROM first on slot 1 (or 2, how you want). Then making a complete backup of that partition, and after restore it on stock slot. - That worked fine for me.

Wich safestrap Version? Uninstall recovery from safestrap, then safestrap, then install newest version, maybe this helps, but don't reboot without safestrap!

I am (and was) using SafeStrap v3.73 when I flashed to the stock slot, I know some previous versions were supposed to be able to do this but I never tried it before. Maybe you're already using that latest version but if not, it wouldn't hurt to try.

yes I am using the latest version of Safestrap. Any suggestions? I will try to redo it again this weekend when I have more time. Thank you

this might help..dont know if you would want to do this or not..i had a note 2 from verison with locked bootloader had to use safestrape ...with that phone the the devs left the recovery incomplete moved onto newer phones so i read..anyways only the stock slot was working in this recovery ..so we had to use stock slot only and the directions read ..flash over stock rom wipe everything except system..and could only use a custom rom with same kernal....example- i had stock jelly bean stock rom think it was 4.2.1 version..so i flashed alliance rom 4.2.1 version..and like i said before wiped everything except internal storage and system....and it worked perfect....dont know if this would work or not...but you said anymore ideas..so why not try....was just thinking..because the bootloader is locked ..shouldnt be able to flash custom rom on stock slot right?shouldnt be able to modify system slot..thats why with the note 2 diddnt wipe system and dirty flashed ,useing the same kernal...................................lol..just relized these posts are from years ago..feel dume now..and i thought i was helping someone..lol
