My friend was tinkering with his phone and screwed something up. He was set up running cm11 on romslot1 with safestrap. I don't know what he to screw everything up but right now I can't get it back to stock.
I used matt's utility which completes but Safestrap is still there after complete wipe and keeps not booting into stock. We have tried going into the recovery and deleting the romslot and manually deleting all safestrap data but it is like it keeps restoring itself upon reboot.
Safestrap settings flat out just don't stick.. I can boot into cm11 still which is it. If I install an app and reboot the app is gone like nothing ever happened.
I also tried wiping internal storage and it does not let me. How can I get safestrap off this SOB and return it to stock. I'm out of ideas..
turn your phone on, start safe strap and uninstall safe strap from the app and not from the app drawer/management when safe strap is uninstalled the boot to recovery should be greyed out then you reboot your phone normally it should restart on the stock rom
hope this helps
also when your friend screwed your phone up he may have lost the root explode so check phone to see if it still is rooted

No this isn't working. I can't boot into stock at all to uninstall safestrap. The phone's internal storage is stuck in read only mode which is probably why everytime I factory reset it safestrap stays behind. I also can't even update the cm11 rom. It just restores the same image everytime you boot so if you install and app and restart the app is gone.
you can try flashing back JB 4.1.2 to the stock rom through fast boot and by using RSD lite which is a motorola utility tool for flashing roms
do a little research in the xda forums to use RSD lite
once you have a working rom again and rooted you can then install safe strap and run it to install cm11 4.4.2 into rom slot 1
hope this helps

Any help to flash back to stock with ubuntu
any way to use sbf_flash to get back to stock JB 4.1.2? I have flashed other phones with sbf but this one needs a xml file in rsd lite. Do I just sbf flash the phone like any other droid?

You should be able to.
I would try the updated Droid Razr Utility though (has updates to SS and the last phone update). Link to the forum is here. I had problems the last muck up I did on my phone and with the older version I kept having issues with SS and other stuff like Rom Slot 1 corrupting on a boot into SS.

My problem is that the internal storage is read only. I have not had luck with sbf or the droid razr utility.
Sounds like a rsd time.

RSD works to get the phone back to stock yes.. however it does not wipe the internal storage currently stuck as READ ONLY... so after I wipe with RSD and reboot it goes right back into romslot-1 on safestrap.. where nothing can be deleted and no changes can be saved..
Hi there, i have one problem with my xt912, when I install stock rom, with rsd lit or razr blade, boots normally, has a good signal, but cant send or receive sms and calls, or if I'll receive sms, its after half an hour or such, can u guys tell me what to do? I am gsm user, and i have tried several stock roms, but same result
that's very weird... everytime I need to use RSD, it wipes completely my phone, removing SU,SS and restoring my stock JB rom. But, have you selected Stock slot on SS to boot on it? and have you mount your /system folder?

I did a search and found nothing. It seems I installed a GSM rom that was said to be a CDMA (I am very careful when reading the detail of a ROM I am going to flash) but it seems that it was not a CDMA ROM. The thing is I have tried to restore my phone every way I know: Droid Razr Utility 1.42 and RSD lite. I have also tried to flash other 4 different "cdma" roms and they do nothing. All of them get stuck in the Welcome Screen (which I bypass with the four corners trick) and I get NO Service.
Does anyone know how to get back to the Stock Verizon CDMA / US version or however it is called that I cannot find it. I have been with 0 communication since yesterday.
Thanks for your help
Yeah but can you use safe strap or get into any other mode? If you can get into fastboot mode then you should be able to use rsd lite. Im using it now. Boy have I been through alot of crap flashing , back to stock etc.. Takes some time but usually works out.
Did you make a backup? I'm guessing no :/
Maybe try flashing this:

As long as you can boot into safestrap/recovery then you should be ok. Just make sure you fully wipe everything (except your SD card!) before flashing a new ROM.

Including a format/SYSTEM?
Edit: I formatted "everything" except SDCARD as directed and now the phone doesn't boot in anything but Fastboot. :/ Now what?
Maybe from fastboot use rsd lite to restore to orignal rom. Use matts to help.
That's the thing; I don't find the original ROM for this. Have looked everywhere except where probably someone would direct me to download it.
I figured I would try out some of these custom roms and so far it's not a good experience lol, so I have safestrap..enabled it and flashed the rom. When I go back to toggle it to go back to stock it gives a error when it restores data or something like that.
I made a backup so if I can just go back to stock .181 and then I'll restore that backup.
Any help on what I need to do? I finally got it to boot into Gummy but the data was not connecting, just trying to go back to where I was with the stock OS.
Thanks in advance
try matt l groffs droid razr utilty,you can find it on xda,i had done something wrong when i rooted my razr so when .181 came out the ota kept failing until i downloaded the utility,it returned my phone to stock .173 then i got the update to .181.you can also root with the utility,good luck!

I'm not exactly sure this will work, but try quickly toggling to the unsafe system and restoring the backup. If that doesn't work you'll have to fastboot back to .181 with Matllgroff's Utility or RSD Lite.

I got Gummy to finally grab internet but can't get it to toggle back to non safe or whatever you call it. I'm not apposed to going back to stock via RSD but just wished there were a less time consuming process lol

I'm not sure you know what I mean.
Step 1. Boot into Safestrap
Step 2. Go in to "safe boot menu"
Step 3. Select "Quick Toggle Safe System Dangerous"
Step 4. Restore your nandroid backup.
The downside of this is that you'll have to reinstall Gummy next time if you want to use it again.
Hope I helped.
Ya reinstalling isn't a big deal, when I said I finally got Gummy to grab internet I mean it finally connected to the web

Is this common? Happened to me last nite and could never get y data to restore so I could disable safestrap. Had to use Matts 1.7 utility http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...y-17-for-ics-and-those-who-want-to-go-to-ics/ to get back to ICS 6.16.211. Wish I would have found this post first.
Thanks!
on ota JB Leak OTA stock.
using safestrap 3.11
rooted.
Yesterday my sound on razr maxx stopped working. Sound profile was up all the way and could make phone calls but speaker was not working.
I read I needed to restore my backup of rom because of the sound problem.
when I restored the system to the stock it would get past safestrap but then it would just blackscreen and vibrate once.
My backup did not work at all on the stock partition. I even tried a factory reset, clearing everything, cache, dalvik, system, etc and it still wouldn't restore.
So then I decided to create another rom slot and try to restore my backup it worked perfectly without an issue and booted right up.
Keep in mind this is with the stock ota jb release, not another version.
My question is how do I get the stock partition back. I tried reflashing the ota update but it needs the ics rom to update. Is there a jelly bean ota that doesn't verify the partition before installing?
Thanks a million!!!
Use this: JB xt912 unbrick utility
then use Razr Blade Root Exploit to gain root again
start all over with ss 3.11
I cannot get my phone into recovery. It will not go back to recovery so I can flash the rom. It just sits there with the android guy laying down for about 3 minutes then doesn't do anything and I have to reset it.

You have to press vol+ and vol- at the Dame time to get the recovery menu to come up after you see the Android guy laying on his back

Hey all!
I've been struggling with this issue for almost 2 weeks now, I used the Droid Razr Utility by MattLGroff to upgrade from GB -> JB without realizing that there was supposed to be an intermediate step of going from GB -> ICS. So the result of the upgrade has left my display acting all crazy where about a 1/3 of the screen is all garbled, looks like it's displaying noise like an old TV (see attached picture).
I'm able to get root and I install Safestrap 3.11 but when I boot the phone I can't get SS to appear. There is a pause in the boot process as if SS is there waiting for input but nothing I do gets it to boot. I also tried BootMenueManager where I select reboot into recovery and all I get is a black screen where the recovery screen should appear. I've tried re-flashing with the utility about 5 times without any change
So my question is simple, does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do to fix this?
Why can't I flash back to GB or go to ICS? All i've read is that it's not possible and haven't really come across any real reason why it doesn't work.
I appreciate any help you can provide!
Thanks!
You can't go back from Ics to Gb same as from Jb to Ics.
And you can't have Bmm and Safestrap at the same time,just one.
Did you tried flashing the rom with Rsd Lite?

Just saying that you can't go back to a previous version doesn't tell me the why aspect though. It's missing from a lot of the information out there.
When you say installed on the phone can you clarify? I have SS app installed but the recovery is not installed, i went and used SS's uninstall function but is that enough or do I actually have to remove the entire app? I'm not sure if this makes sense so let me know if i need to clarify.
I haven't tried RSDlite let since there are several other backup steps the lead up to do that from what I've been reading, I just haven't had the time yet. I assume it shouldn't be to hard to find the fastboot files for an XT912 Verizon JB but if you happen to have a known source for the files let me know!
Thanks!
Model xt912 Razr Maxx "verizon"
I used "razr_blade_zip" to root phone. Followed instructions and worked fine. Then installed "safestrap" 3.65. Then went to recovery mode and created a back-up. Then installed cm11-20131126 unofficial-spyder and google app package. Rebooted and everything worked well. I did notice cell signal was low. After I installed a few basic rooted apps to increase network speed like "example Faster Gps". Still so far so good. Here is when things went wrong. After reading about SuperSu I decided to install it and missed a step. I ended up unrooting my in phone. I can't use Safestrap to install back-up. I'm not sure what a hard reset will do. I have googled issue but no real answer on fixing this. Thanks for any help!!!!!
Did you install CM on stock slot?
Assuming you did.
You can't restore stock backup to the stock slot.
That's a limitation with SS.

Find and download Matt's Utility to your PC. I'm sure it has a thread on this forum somewhere. Your going to have to do a complete reset on your phone most likely, but if you follow the instructions you should be able to get back to stock jellybean again and start over.
Thanks for the response

No I installed CM 11 on ROM 1. I left the stock ROM alone. I just can't get back to Safestrap because I no longer rooted. Overall phone is working great. But I still want the option to unroot if needed. Thanks for any feedback!
