SAFESTRAP v3.11 (2nd-System Bootstrap / Recovery)

PRIOR TO UPGRADING TO V3.x FROM V2.x MOVE THE /sdcard/safestrap FOLDER FROM YOUR /sdcard TO THE /sdcard-ext. THIS OPENS UP VALUABLE INTERNAL EMMC SPACE WHERE ROM SLOTS ARE CREATED. AND KEEPS YOUR V2 BACKUPS SAFE IN CASE YOU WANT TO REVERT TO V2 AND USE THEM TO RESTORE.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: How to Safestrap
[ DOUBLE-CHECK you have the BIONIC/RAZR/DROID4 VERSION ]

CHANGES:

• [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.
• [12/29] (3.10) Enable flashing to stock ROM *BE CAREFUL -- NEW FEATURE -- STILL TESTING*
  • 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
• [12/29] (3.10) New virtual system partitions will be 640mb (closer match to stock RAZR/D4)
• [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 SD card / emmc sharing in recovery (UMS)
• [10/17] (3.05) Fixed recovery installation/removal from ROM-slots
• [10/14] Updated to v3.04 BETA.
• [10/14] Recovery is now based off TWRP 2.2.2.1 (fully featured touch-based recovery)
• [10/14] Can create up to 4 Virtual ROM-slots to flash ROMs to and when "Active" ALL TWRP functions affect that ROM-slot (For example: Flashing .zips, Backup and Restore)
• [10/14] Nearly instant swapping from ROM to ROM
• [10/14] User selectable data partition sizes during ROM slot creation: 1GB, 2GB or 3GB
• [10/14] ROM slots are saved on the internal emmc space so that preinstall and webtop partitions are no longer used and shouldn't break OTAs.
• [10/14] Charging in recovery
• [10/14] Supports "Reboot Recovery" from Android OS

Entry to recovery via Splashscreen on boot-up. The screen stays up for around 8-10 seconds and if you hit the menu button, it takes you to Safestrap Recovery.


SPECIAL THANKS TO:

• The entire TWRP team who has built an AMAZING recovery system.
• The testers which have helped in past and present versions of Safestrap, knowing that it could mean they brick their devices.

As always, let me know what you think!

What's the correct procedure for updating versions of Safestrap? Do I need to be in unsafe system or uninstall first or ?

Awesome, Thanks!

Love this app/recovery. Thanks!

Does anyone have suggestions for when switching back to the primary, and it errors out on original data restore?

I did do the proper backups and normal toggle. The original back up refused to boot. Even initiate boot.

The only way I got back to primary was to install eclipse in safe system, back it up. Then do a hard toggle to non safe, and restore the Eclipse back up.

Is there any other way, or a way to verify toggle back ups? I am aware of the verify in the back up menu, but as far as I can tell it only verifies full system back ups.

Suggestions on what I may have done wrong, or a less time consuming remedy should it happen again?

Apologies if I left something out.. typed while putting the mag stripes on iTunes cards... only 600,000 to go... weeeeeee

And thanks fir your hard work and great tool for the bionic, Hash.

I've never had that problem. Are you using your internal or external sd card for safe mode? The internal is faster and less likely to have problems.

Does Bionic Bootstrap have to be removed/uninstalled before installing Safestrap? Can BB just be frozen?

Thanks.

EDIT: Okay, I see it does need to be removed.

I've seen this happen a handfull of times, most of which were due to a nearly full /emmc partition (internal SD card).

When you hard toggle and restore the Eclipse back up here's what happened:
- The "/system" backup goes back onto your /preinstall partition (where it also lives in 2nd-system) -- The only item which will get restored to your primay system is a backup of "/systemorig". And that's important because if you were to restore the 2nd-system back to the original system.. You'd brick because of partition renaming, etc.
- /data and /cache are restored normally.

You did the right thing in hard toggling and then advanced restore your data from a previous backup. Just know that your 2nd-system data wasn't stashed when you do the hard toggle. So there may be an issue when you want to go back to the 2nd-system.
