I had just recovered from a RDS lite flash and installed ss 3.73 on android 4.0.4 and was booting fine. I used ss recovery to do a system+webtop+(one more) backup. After that I could no longer boot to stock ROM. I then wiped dalvik but that didn't help. Is there any other way then RDS lite to disable ss?

No way to disable Safestrap and still boot stock, unless device is already in stock.
Suspect that if stock will not boot, it is no longer bootable, did you try restoring stock backup in safestrap?
That's what it's for.
or you could try my 6.16.207.XT908.LRA.en.US stock backup should work fine on the XT912, just doesn't have the Verizon bloatware

If you mean if I activated stock slot, then yes. I can't remember if I tried to restore my backup or not. I ended up just flashing with rds again. Of cause I had to do the setup all over again but it worked fine. I would just have hoped ss had a back-out option.

I am trying to uninstall safestrap 3.11, but when I go to settings/apps, safestrap is not listed. I am not able to open safestrap from the device. How can I uninstall it so the boot screen no longer asks me if I want to enter into recovery mode? Please help!
-xxPerrin
I think you need to reboot into the stock rom (since that is where safe strap was originally installed), then start safestrap and select the uninstall option, and you may also need to then check apps to make sure it is completely uninstalled. If not you can finish the uninstall from there.

You could use the Droid RAZR Utility (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467 ) to restore your phone back to stock. Use the wipe option. At that point you should be back to a completely stock RAZR.

Were you able to get safesatrp 3.11 uninstalled yet? Did you install recovery on stock ROM or a custom Rom?
---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------
If you did install recovery on stock ROM and do not want to flash with Razr Utilty, you can try to reinstall recovery on stock to retry and remove it again. Something might have gone bad somewhere along your flashings and caused a mix up in files.
Good call! The reinstall worked! Thanks.

There are no working wallet workarounds for the factory stock MK2 ROM that I am aware of.
However, if you'll let us know what workaround you tried to use we may be able to help recover.
I had the same issue.

This is the Google Wallet NFC fix ( tap to pay functionality ) method that I tried unsuccessfully. I used kies to reinstall mk2. Rooted, installed safestrap, installed hyperdrive RLS 12. Setup HD12 as active in ss and setup the ROM letting the phone sit 10+ minutes before reboot after configuration as described in the original post. Next up, booted into recovery, installed the NFC zip, fixed permissions and rebooted the phone. Instant NFC force close on startup... Over and over. factory reset and reinstall of the ROM didn't fix the problem, I had to recreate slot1 in ss.
The above steps happened after the same NFC force close issue occurred after trying this same fix on my original rooted, safestrapped mk2 operating system. Hence the reason Kies was used to factory restore the device in the first place. So basically I tried twice and was unsuccessful both times.
The zip file from the original post was removed and the thread was locked before I could post this information. I had to reset my phone twice but wasn't upset because the author never stated that the hack would specifically work on the mk2 bootloader with safestrap.
I hope that helps. If anyone can point me in the right direction to get Google Wallet tap to pay working on the vzw s4 mk2 bootloader , please do let me know by responding to this post.

Every time I tried to point out to the author of that "fix" that it didn't work he got upset. However, it's been reported by some that they got it to work on Hyperdrive. I wasn't ever able to get it to work, and it always killed wifi. I'd suggest not using it on an i545.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm6r5nnah3hjz0u/dbSGS4_GE43_R141Wallet.zip
Here is the fix your looking for.
Before you flash this:
Remove any remnants of google wallet from your phone. That includes uninstalling the apk and removing its data from /data/data.
1. Flash in safestrap recovery
2. Fix permissions.
3. Reboot
4. Enjoy tap and pay

I used Rootmaster.apk to root the phone. I used stargo's 3.75 Safestrap 31-Jan-2015 for the recovery.
I used cm-12.1-20150519-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip and
gapps-lp-20150314.zip
but like I said these fail, which is fine but I can't get my old image back because it fails at the system install. I think it's because I initially wiped system?

An update, I tried to re-install the old backup but without system, in which it didn't do anything but eventually came up to the bootstrap screen. It stated that I didn't have su and If I wanted to install the SU binaries. I clicked yes thinking that would get it to work and now I can't get the bootstrap screen, but I can only get to the bootloader now. It seems like I will need to revert back to the old firmware correct? In the AP Fastboot Flash Mode it says the device is locked btw.

TWRP is used with many devices. With some devices twrp can be flashed before rooting, and then you can root with TWRP, the XT912 is not one of those devices.
When you get not rooted warning in twrp, that almost always means Rom is not bootable or completely missing.
Do not reboot if you get that warning.

Alright, I'm back again. But this an interesting development. Let me describe the whole process.
I originally rooted using the Saferoot - [Video]Safe Root for Jelly Bean Android Devices like the Droid Bionic 4.1.2 & More @Tomsgt to root again. It worked like a charm. I updated the SU binaries from the updated SU app and placed SU in my system. My next step was to install safestrap 3.75 which I had the apk still on my internal memory and was able to install it successfully. I booted to the recovery and made a back up(which I'm curious to know if it actually worked this time, but I haven't flashed back to yet) which worked flawlessly. Now this time I wiped with just doing a simple dalvik cache wipe and installed CM12 per the directions and Gapps in this thread Official CM12 thread - Official Downloads (XT912). Everything appears to be fine but I noticed that I didn't have SU, I checked to see if the phone was rooted, which the jRummy root checker says no root. I've tried flashing a SU zip from this post Quote:

every rom has a separate superuser/binary, root access for stock has nothing to do with a custom rom.
if you can boot to twrp recovery, stock slot should be rooted.
