So I recently flashed ICS 6.14.79 onto my Razr Maxx and was trying to install safestrap so i can play with ROM's and such. I install safestrap.apk, then click the app icon in my drawer adn install recovery. Once I rebooot I get the option on splash screen to tap menu for recovery. I can get into recovery, I can make a backup of my system before switching to safemode and everything works just fine. I can reboot my system at this point and it will boot up fine. I can either wait the 10 seconds or I can hit search and it will boot.
But if I go through the safe menu and enable safeboot or safemode or whatever its called... my phone will NOT boot. it will get to the splash screen, and if i wait it goes to a black screen and goes NO FURTHER. the only way I can get it to boot is to hold the power and volume up and down keys for about 20 seconds ad my screen will flash, then I can hold just the power and it will reboot and I can go back into recovery and un do the safemode and it will boot.
I made sure I am using (or trying to use) 2.0, I have never installed bootstrap, this was a fresh loaded phone, razr utility 1.6 to load .181, then combo ics installer 0.3 to install ics 6.14.79. Rooted with teh ics installer which used the motofail exploit, loaded my apps and tried to flash the BEATS update...
Help please?
When you toggle the safe mode your still in the recovery screen you need to wipe cache dalvik cache wipe data /factory reset and format system then install your new rom and gapps before rebooting otherwise there is nothing to boot up. At least that's how I'm reading your post . So your in non safe you have your backup toggle safe then before rebooting wipe data/ factory reset wipe cache format system then dalvik cache then install rom and gapps if not part of rom most are not.. 4-29-12 gapps Then you can reboot. Some people have problems with charger hooked up try without it. Hopefully this will help.

but Im not trying to load a new ROM, I am wanting to continue using the one I currently have, I just wanted to add Beats to it... so your saying that I have to flash a new rom, and that safemode will NOT allow me to use my current rom....
I think toggling safemode creates a second ROM so you can go back to your first one if you need to. So when safe mode is active it boots into the second ROM. If flashing beats there is no ROM to boot in to.
To flash beats I would think you shouldn't enable safe mode cause you want it flashed to your ROM instead of a non existing one. Understand?
This is purely from my little knowledge of Safestrap. I generally use Bootstrap.

If you don't wanna flash any roms than you could just use bootstrap. If you wanna use bootstrap you must clear off safestrap.
1 reboot into safestrap and disable safestrap reboot
2 open safestrap app and select uninstall
3 go to system settings manage apps and unistall safestrap.
After you've done those steps than you could get bootstrap razr from the market and flash beats audio. I don't know if theres a way to install with safestrap in non-safe mode, it was setup to protect your orginial rom and only flash in safe-mode. maybe someone else could comment further.
Hello all, could use some help here.
I'm trying to restore my Note to the factory ROM and I'm running into an issue.
Fyi, I had the latest Paranoid JB Rom from Oct 13.
I followed the proceedures outlined in the forums (used ODIN to restore the default "attstockrom") and after that restore the phone would loop rebooting into ATT rethink possible animation screen.
I found and downloaded the latest 4.04 rom for the phone (I717UCLF6) and rebooted. Now it just hangs at the "ATT Rethink possible" graphic (no animation, no loop).
Odin does see the device fine so I can reflash again with no problems if I need to. I'm thinking of trying the I717UCLA1 version from Jan to see if that works but I'm hoping I can get some better advice before I do something that might cause more permanent problems.
Any advice on how to get back to stock ICS (or even JB) and get the phone working again?
Thanks!
Try doing a factory data/cache wipe from Recovery.
I flashed the stock rom via ODIN. There is no factory data/cache wipe since there's no custom recovery.
Are you suggesting flashing CWM/TWRP on the phone now then doing that?
Houston we have liftoff. Thanks for the tip Fappa, that got me into the phone (reinstalled cwm, factory reset). However I'd still like to remove CWM and go back to completely stock....
I'm not overly worried about it as I'm selling the phone but I'd like the new owner to have a completely clean phone in case they need to send it in at some point for repair. But in any case it's up and running with CWM and factory ICS rom.

I'm sure fappa meant to use the stock android recovery and wipe. when I go back to stock it always hangs at AT&T boot logo and have to wipe/reset from stock recovery to get it to boot.

Yes do what they say or you will continue to boot loop.

I am running Razr ICS 4.0.4 safestrap 3.11.
Problem is when i try to restore a backup that I made, could have just made it 5 minutes ago( does samething to any backups) all that happens is the M logo comes up then the safestrap screen and I hit the button to boot phone normally it just goes to a black screen. I have do the 3 button reset to get back to safestrap. I then have to switch over to the stock rom slot, and that boots fine. I then have to go back into safestrap and delete rom slot 1 and re-create it to be-able to restore any backups. What is going on, what do I have to do to just be able to restore a backup without have to delete the rom slot and recreate it everytime? I made a post on Hashcode site as well. Would love to get this resolved!

Actually, after I went from Safestrap 2.__ to 3.11, every time I create a new Rom slot and try to Install a ROM into it, I get a black screen on reboot. The only thing that works for me is the stock at this point. I'm worried to revert to the previous Safestrap and some ROM's don't work with anything but the latest Safestrap, so unsure what to do.

I got the same problem as your when using the safestrap 3.11. But then I noticed that every developer ask us to wipe before install roms.
I followed, and I succeeded most of my installation. But I still get the black screen randomly, even when I reinstall the rom that boots normal before.
Anyway, you could try wipe all between the time of recreate the rom-slot and install roms.
Hope this will help you!

On my first install of Safestrap 3.11 on Motorola Droid Razr HD, I made a 1gb partition in slot 1, installed Batakang rom and rebooted. Worked fine (except I could only receive, not send sms/mms). Since then nothing has worked. I have even gone as far as factory reset my phone, re-rooted (Motochopper) and Unlocked Bootloader (Motopocalypse), re-installed safestrap, created new rom slot (tried slot 1 and 3) tried installing CM10 and AOKP unofficial builds downloaded from this site, no ammount of wiping before installing works. I can boot to stock rom fine but get black screen when booting into other roms. Holding down power key forces reboot into safestrap again.
I will first delete any ROM slot i created first then Easiest way to fix black screen is to boot to stock rom and select safestrap app open and chose uninstall recovery, reboot and do same thing but this time choose install recovery then reboot, can go back into safestrap now and all will be Good
Some ROMs are messed up like that as far as messaging goes
Hello All,
I hope someone may be able to help.
After encountering a problem on my jb razr, I tried to do a restore from a 2 day old backup. I have SS v3.11 installed and TWRP v2.2.2.1. After doing the restore on the Stock rom in SS, the razr boots up, but the screen does not work. I can hear the startup sound and the hard buttons provide appropriate actions, but no display at all. I have tried to wipe everything and then do a factory reset, but the results are the same. I have also tried to reinstall the fastboot from the zip on my sd card, but it fails pretty much instantaneously.
What can I do to get this running normally again?
Ok i had been using bmm for some time. I had carbon in slot 1...and artmod in slot 2. Bmm was set to boot onto slot 2. Well i booted into carbon on slot 1. Then i tried to load up bmm to change the phone to boot slot 1...it had an error and said i had the wrong version of busybox. It forced me to unistall bmm. It wouldnt let me install it again with the same error. Then i reinstalled busybox and retried. Same error. Then i rebooted to go back to slot 2. Black screen now i cant get phone working. Does anyone know how i can get bmm back installed into my phone without having to start completely over? Thanks

What happened now is the following: You've been forced to uninstall BMM. without it you don't have 2nd boot anymore and the stock slot just can play STOCK ROM. So, if you aren't running the stock ROM right now, I think there's no way to save your phone without reflashing everything again over fastboot. I had this problem many times, and I didn't found a solution other then replace the content in system partition with the original. And the phone just can boot if the data partition is empty or have the content of the RMO you're using. So, you also need to wipe data. Sorry.
