Hello All,
I rooted and installed safestrap. Then took a backup, installed open_gapps. I can not access my OS, as it's stuck in language selection screen in Google Wizard.
Is there anyway to roll back and install the stock rom again.
Thank you
Which Safestrap version do you have installed? Can you still access Safestrap recovery? Do you have the backup on the HDX?
If you have a backup of the stock slot, you should be able to restore it. Note that you MUST NOT restore a backup of a secondary slot to the stock slot! Would brick the device.
And don't wipe system in Safestrap, especially if you use Safestrap v3.7x!

Hi friends,
Here's my situation, would be very happy if any of you can give me some advice on how to solve this.
1. My stock romslot can no longer boot. I also cannot restore Nandroid to it. Looks like /int is gone.
2. My 2nd romslot also won't boot DWiz JBX rom so I'm stuck with BBM
3. What I am trying to do is clean up stock romslot and 2nd romslot, then install retail China version on stock romslot and then maybe install a 2nd custom rom on system2 (2nd romslot). Haven't decided because it's so much trouble.
4. I've been using BMM all along. Didn't touch Fastboot, adb or Safestrap (in fact, I only know how to use BMM...)
Finally, any guide to restoring the whole phone back to the beginning? (unroot, restore kernel, rom etc)
Thanks!

Use rsd lite to flash firmware and factory reset it in the stock recovery

Hi Guys, and thank you in advance for reading this post, I have looked in several places and cannot find a solution. When I boot into recovery, there is no option to backup and restore, I am rooted on Stock Android 4.2.2. Baseband: VRUAMDK. I tried switching out SD cards from my extFAT 64GB card to a FAT32 GB card, no go, I am also running into the same exact issue on my galaxy note 8.0. If anyone could help me out I would highly appreciate it! Thank you in advance! I really want to try a different ROM but want to perform a nandroid backup just in case. Thanks!

Which custom recovery are you running?

I downloaded ROM manager because I was under the assumption that I was running CWM. I'm still a newbie so please excuse my ignorance. I did root using Odin.

Did you install a custom recovery? Stock recovery doesn't allow you to make nandroid backups or flash roms via recovery. If rooted you could try latest installing recovery via Rom manager. Or flash a custom recovery via odin.

Thanks for the response, I tried installing CWM via rom manager but it doesn't seem to be working at all, tried several times and nothing, how can I install via Odin? I cannot find instructions on doing this for the Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545) I still have not accepted the OTA update from Verizon so I am still fully rooted and running stock android version 4.2.2
TWRP seems to be the go to recovery for the S4 on Verizon
I think I finally have it, and contrary of what I read it seems to be working on my 64GB exFAT SD card. I will let you know shortly if it backed everything up
The problem was CWM wouldn't install so I went here teamw.in/project/twrp2/181 and just downloaded GooManager and read their instructions: Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will install the recovery automatically.
I then booted into recovery and BAM! there was the backup option, I have 10GB to backup so I needed it to backup on my SD card, thought it would be a problem since I read that it wasn't possible to perform a nandroid backup on a 64GB SD formatted as exFAT but it seems to be working, will update once complete, it might take a while to backup all that data
Hey guys!
I have some problems with Safestrap Recovery on my XT910
Also, i can't install it normally. My phone is running CM10.1.3 with BootMenu Manager recovery
I was twice trying to install SS, but i usually have an unbootible device, that can't boot to system. What i must to do to install this recovery/
I want to install it to flash CM11, cause i don't want to change any files it bulds of CM to install it via BMM
I was trying to install SS3.65_umts_spyder.apk
I'm not positive, but I'm reasonably certain you need to boot back to stock, then make sure you have completely uninstalled BMM (and any versions of SS that may have been previously installed) and then try installing SS from stock ROM. If that still doesn't work then you probably need to do a complete reinstall of stock, unroot, then install SS3.65 (again do this from stock). Good luck.

So i only need to flash stock, unroot my device and install SS to stock ROM? Why it doesnt installing on CM?
Sorry for my english, hi from Ukraine

I'm not an expert, but I think the phone still tries to boot to stock ROM first, but safestrap intercepts the process and forces the phone to then boot to the custom ROM.
Therefore, installing safestrap from any custom ROM like cm11 won't work (even though it may actually install). To get safestrap to work properly it must be installed from stock ROM.

So, I need to get back to pure stock, un-everything, however, I have a problem standing in my way:
I have SafeStrap installed (3.62 if I recall correctly), but I had to recover a bad install and now I can't even boot into SafeStrap anymore but the still boots into the Cyanogenmod ROM I installed. I have ME7 installed on my stock partition. Is there anyway I can force the phone to boot into SafeStrap, or boot into my stock partition, or update through Loki?
Edit: So I installed SafeStrap 3.65 and discovered that I recovered my Cyanogenmod install onto my stock ROM partition. Not sure if this is bad or not... :/
Edit 2: Okay... I found my old SD card with my original ME7 backup on it, so I'm back to that. Now I need to uninstall a bad Clockworkmod install because it's preventing me from updating.

odin you stock full wipe firmware

but anyways. Yes use odin and use stock firmware tar to recover fully to stock.

Redoing backup . , And make sure when you are creating your ROM slot you are using up all available space. Try deleting the slot and rebuilding.
