RECENT CHANGES:
- [01/04] (3.12) Fix initial file selector location for backup/restore
- [12/29] (3.11) Allow use of custom updater-binary in .zip files for flashing on stock ROM (virtual slots still use prebuilt updater-binary in recovery).
- [12/29] (3.11) BUGFIX: Fixed fake flash error at the end of a .zip install. (No real error, .zip installs fine)
- [12/29] (3.10) Early support for booting custom ROMs on stock partitions. * STILL TESTING — BUGGY*
- [12/29] (3.10) Enable flashing to stock ROM
- After .zip installations, nandroid restore or system wipe on the stock ROM: the current Safestrap files are restored to the system partition (Doesn’t include the APK in /data — so if you’re restoring an old backup, be sure to update the Safestrap APK)
- During the Safestrap files restore a check is done to be sure there are minimal files on /system to re-enter Safestrap
- [12/27] (3.07) Bugfix: missed some changes in Safestrap 3.06
- [12/26] (3.06) Bugfix/Update for JB4.1 OTA for DroidRAZR (Non-JB devices can also use)
- [10/17] (3.05) Fixed UMS for sharing SD card
- [10/17] (3.05) Fixed recovery installation/removal from ROM-slots
- [10/14] Safestrap v3.04 beta for BIONIC/RAZR/RAZR-MAXX/DROID 4
- [07/30] Added KEXEC support for the new builds on or after 7/30
- [05/20] Updated for ICS-Based Phones using 5.5.0.4 sources from CWRecovery (v2.00) [ Motorola ICS leaks for the RAZR and Droid 4 -- Use this version ]
- [02/29] RAZR version / install check fixed.
- [02/28] New version for Droid 4.
- [02/28] Fixed webtop restore for RAZR.
- [12/14] Added “Search” button binding to splashscreen to continue w/ boot up.
- [12/14] Added better handling for ICS startup via Safestrap hijack
- [12/14] Added “Disable Safestrap” under Advanced menu. This removes the hijack for Safestrap. Emergency use only. For the rare case where someone has a messed up touchscreen and enters recovery even though they don’t hit the “Menu” button or boot up in bp-tools mode
Working good on Razr X910 (Install of Programm and safeside creation), but non of my Roms is getting installed. The Setup “runs” like the maschine isnt really working. Simply said, the Install text ( for example CM9 ) runs Smoothly down the Screen ( without getting interrupted for writing, or loading etc. ) and the result is a black screen and nothing boots after the SS Screen (Only in Save mode the Problem exists)… In “noobwords” spoken : Opticaly it installs in saveside, but physicaly and with an eye on time, its unrealistic short.The result is the blackscreen, like nothing has really been written.
Newest OTA X910 Razr Germany, Busybox and SU are up to date.(Cm9 Install takes 15 sec for example).
When I try to make back ups it says error creating /data image
Enougg space on the SD Card ? “Real” Root, not partial ( because of writing rights ) ?
To my Problem : Iam Discovering that it seems to be more and more a Problem with Bootstrap…
Bootstrap installed : no recovery, Freeze
Non Installed : Android recovery
Safestrap : Recovery SS Normal
So what , from one day to another BS shouldnt work.
Unfortunately, the XT910 has a very small “preinstall” partition and it doesn’t work with Safestrap :/ I apologize if I didn’t make the post clear, and will add (XT912 only)
Little to Late 4 me ;) No matter… Repartitioning to a bigger space might be a way ?
Help me getting this little thing up and running ^^
My problem is : The Phone is Formated, the Phone is SBFd, and the Problems stay the same… Ive got the feeling, that the SBF`ing and factoryreseting do NOT kill the whole phone…
Do you know a method to really wipe it completly ?
Will there be an XT910 Version in Future ?:) Because its runnig ( and even starting like it should).
Please work on Bionic webtop fix.
hmmmm… I installed safestrap on my droid 3, put the CM9 zip on my external card, booted into safestrap, flashed the zip, flashed the second file, cleared user data, cleared catch partition, rebooted, and now the phone won’t turn on at all. What in the world happened?
bionic force closes when i try to open safestrap. What is the fix?
I download droid3 v1.08 and the file it is downloading is Droid3safestrap-1.0.apk. Not sure if the link is wrong or just mislabeled. I am currently on v1.06 and need to uninstall / update to this version.
I was trying to download safestrap for Bionic but the link was timing out
I encrypted my data on my Droid Bionic. Would that create any kind of issue with backing up data?
Hey hashcode, I need some help, I am running the stock D3 ROM and I am rooted, but whenever I try to install Safestrap it says that it is installed in the push notification, but the nice thing above the install button says other wise, and when I reboot, it doesn’t show up, either in BP tools, or in the form of the splash screen, PLEASE HELP!!! Its very important that I install this. Thank you, sir.
Never Mind good sir, I rooted my phone using superoneclick, and because it doesn’t install busybox, well, it didn’t work, Please, To everyone out there, make sure you have busybox installed.

Hello, ive followed all the steps and when i reboot. it shows the splash menu, after 10 seconds it shows a black screen. after a couple of seconds it shuts down and reboots, and reloops..
Droid 3. trying to get the ICS.
Can you get into the recovery by pressing the menu key?
If you can navigate to the safe menu and ensure the safe system is disabled. Then connect you phone via USB for mass storage, the ICS ROM file on either your internal or external SD card. Reboot into the recovery, re enable safe system, and go back to the main menu. Navigate to install zip from sdcard. Pick either your internal or external sdcard (depending on where you put the ICS ROM) navigate to where you put it. Select it. Navigate to yes (after about a million no’s). Wait for it to install. Go back to main menu. Go to wipe data/factory reset. Click yes. Its very important you do this step, or it won’t work properly. Reboot. Enjoy ICS.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Ah, followed all these steps but still nowhere..
Will it backup my XT883? If yes shall i uninstall 1.08 first or just install 1.09 over 1.08?
In no then please suggest some other safe method if possible. Thanx in advance.
Already posted this question on your blog & XDA.

I downloaded the Bionic Safestrap 2.00 apk and I’m getting a “Parse error” every time I try to install it. It says: “There is a problem parsing the package.”
I also tried downloading 1.07 and it installed just fine. For grins I tried the D4 link too and it would install, though I cancelled the install JIC.
Has anyone else had this issue? Has anyone successfully installed 2.00 on the Bionic.
I’m on 905 and rooted if that makes any difference.
I got the sam e problem…cant install 2.00 parse error
anyone?
Getting same issue on two different phones. any ideas? i don’t really want to use the older one…
I got the parse error when trying to install ss 2.0 on a gingerbread based ROM. If I install the apk on an ICS based ROM it will install. Could this be your issue?
Will Safestrap 2.0 work on Verizon ICS 4.04 update for Razr XT912?
I have managed to get 2.0 installed on the new Verizon ICS 4.04 on my Razr XT912, but when I attempt to do a backup, it fails with the error message “Error While making a backup image of /systemorig!”
I uninstalled and reinstalled Safestrap, but that did not resolve the issue.

As I mentioned earlier I can get SS 2.0 .apk installed when running an ICS ROM, and I can get it to flash the recovery image. However, when I reboot and the SS splashscreen comes up, it is dimmed and I cannot enter it via the menu key. Furthermore, I cannot get any ICS leak or Liquid ROMs to boot. Any Idea’s for either problem?
I am running the 5.9.905 System Version and ICS on Bionic.
I’m having an issue starting the D3 Safe Strap Apk. I cleared the cache and was able to install it but now every time I try to open it it Force Closes. I’ve restarted my phone a countless amount of times. I previously had my phone rooted for many months and I was having an issue with the LED light so I toggled Safe Strap to “Off” and then my phone automatically updated the Gingerbread OS. I can’t figure out how to get my rooted stuff back! Any ideas? Can you help me?

XT912 – motoboot kernel 215 will not boot a safestrap rom.
x
Sorry, I correct that statement, it works wonderfully on 215 Kernel. I tried porting it over using without using your 211 files and just the edify code and it failed, but someone got it to work by dumping 215 over your 211 files and using the same edify code. There is a couple files difference in the system dumps so I am not sure which file made it so it didn’t boot before. But it works, great job.

Droid Bionic – On ICS Leak 2233 and tried to install Safestrap V2. When trying to install says Unfortunately, Safestrap has stopped. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
I’m getting the same issue. Let me know if you figured it out!
The issue for me was that I didn’t root the phone. The dev’s should have a dialog saying “Is your phone rooted?” rather than letting the app crash. Worked after I rooted my phone! Best of luck.
The rooting package can be found here: http://t.co/mbIAmwH8
Is there a Safestrap 2.0 for the Droid 3? I thought I read elsewhere that you had to have 2.0 to install CM9.
Yes definitely and I have had a chance to check out the new Motorola DROID 3 the Best Model of DROID Series. Since I found its a great piece of technology…… so I prefer you all to check it out. I have purchased it from Electronic bazaar of Australia coz there U can find some cheap stuff with good technology…….!!!
Thanks Hash, your work is priceless to the Android community, but I’m sure you know this already! :)
I thought I read that you can’t use the new 2.x Safestrap on non-ICS Droid 3? Stilling using 1.08.
Do you have a working download for the Droid 4 safe strap.apk non ICS?
How do I get safe strap for my non PICS DROID 4? The URL is not listed and I would like to use it.
Thanks

Hey, so i installed safestrap last night, and i tried to install the recovery, but everytime i try, it sats “starting intsallation” but never does anything, it always says recovery status not installed =( ive done everything right and have a fresh root so theres no way i could have installed anything else.. any fixes for this? thank you.
There is a fix, do you havebusybox installed? If not, it requires busybox, so if you have root, you can get the app “busybox installer” by JRUMMY16 (I think). It will fix it.
Download link for 1.09 for droid 4 is down. Is there a mirror?

You need to be on one of the ICS leaks for Safestrap 2.11 or above… that should fix it.
Congrats on the release! I very much appreciate all the work you do for our devices. I know that the whole android community appreciates it too! Looking forward to trying it out! I’m downloading/installing now :D
Followed all the steps and bricked my D4 now I’m stuck in bootloop
Install Safestrap 2.10 on Droid 3 running 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US (phone is rooted).
Can not enter SafeStrap on power via Menu key. Just an endless reboot cycle of Droid & red logo until battery is pulled. Any ideas or is the ulimate FU from Motorola/Verizon.
Same exact thing happened to me, I’m stuck in a boot loop now and tried flashing fastboot files RSD side and still nothing. I’ve never been this bricked before.
Just loaded first rom wizzbean in slot 1 came up perfect. Reboot back on stock rom. Wow is all i can say
Great job!!!!!!!
Installed SS3 withe the instructions provided, after install was successful rebooted phone and no splash screen goes to the droid eye and goes no further. Am i bricked? Also was on SS2.11 and uninstalled beforehand
Did you switch from safe system to non safe before removing SS2 2.11?
Matt, if you download the stock ICS images and then install them using RSD then go into stock recovery and system wipe and cache wipe you should boot back up into stock.
Maybe some mirrors please?
rombot seems dead right now….
Link fixed while we get rombot.org sorted out.

Thanks for this update hash it is so fast and ez to switch roms now
I think I’ll wait until there is some headway in the actually ROMS specifically the D4 ROM before I dive back into this. I personally don’t see any of it worth it until the ROM goes into BETA or RC.

is anyone tried that on XT860?
Ok I am a noob at this kind of stuff, but I have managed to root my droid Razr hd, and I got titanium backup and payed for the pro version. I was wondering because it says in capital red letters do not download this with any other recoveries. Does this include titanium plus? And if it does, I was wondering if titanium can create a backup of the rom for recovery purposes. I am asking this because from what I gather titanium makes a back up of your apps and the “system data” . Does “system data” include your rom your rom when you back it up in titanium. I apologize in advanced for how much of a noob I am at this. I also really appreciate your responses.
Hey hashcode–first of all, great job on this! It works great and I love it on my bionic. I’ve been a fan since my Droid OF. My question is if you were going to open up the ability to install zips on the stock ROM? I wanted to install Google Now for ICS and I couldn’t find a way to install. If I missed out, please let me know. Thank you.

Does it work on XT860?
If it doesn’t work, will I brick my phone or just have to reflash the original rom?
Thanks!
Hello, Thanks for all you do for the development community!
I have searched for a solution with no luck.
When I select backup, set the backup name and slide the slider, it goes to the backup screen, lists the backup folder location on the bottom of the screen for about 2 seconds, then just goes right back to the home screen of Safestrap.
I am running .246 and I know that I have enough space on my SD Card for the backup. Since this problem started 2 days ago, I have since uninstalled Safestrap and upgraded to 3.11. The problem still persists.
Has you seen this before?
Thanks in advance.
