Default [BOOTSTRAP] Safestrap for Droid 4 [02/28: Version 1.09]

SAFESTRAP 1.09 for Droid 4 (2nd-System Bootstrap / Recovery)

[ After installation boot into recovery and make a FULL backup while in Non-Safe mode to have a full 1st and 2nd system backup for disaster recovery. ]

** INSERT STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone using my tools. WE DO NOT HAVE A FASTBOOT FOR THE DROID 4 YET. PLEASE USE CAUTION. **


[ Make sure you get the DROID 4 VERSION ]
Download Here
Instructions for Use

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:
  • Koush who develops such a GREAT recovery system and the makes the source available for others to use.
  • The Atrix dev team who I pulled the internal/external SD card support from
  • The Defy dev team that originally developed the Bootmenu source which I stripped down and used for the Splashscreen.

As always, let me know what you think!

Please be careful! I will be posting a Droid 4 ROM created from our current MotoBlur .215 system. This can be flashed as the Safe ROM in Safestrap for those who like to "play" with their phones / settings / bloatware. That way if you mess something up you'll be able to get into Recovery and restore a backup /system.

Will do, can't wait for that! Hey quick question....let's say I wanted to flash a zip for a mod in Safestrap. I cant flash it when SS is disabled so I have to enable it but that restores the old system. Is this where I want to toggle , install the zip and then toggle back afterwards?

There's no flashing zips to the "Non-Safe" ROM in Safestrap. You can only flash zips to the Safe ROM (with Safe Mode enabled).

You only run your original ROM when Safe Mode is disabled.

The problem I'm having is When Safe Mode is enabled , I cant start any ROM. I enabled Safe Mode and then restored a nandroid backup but it wont load. It hangs after the Moto boot screen. The only way it seems to work is if I disable Safe Mode which in turn loads the previous ROM, so I'm always at square one. I'm sure I am doing this wrong, just not sure what exactly it is.

I'll download arctic and see what's happening with it. Should be able to flash that one. But the stock rooted /system dump needs some files tweaked I think.

I'm not sure restoring a nandroid backup works that way. I'll get a MotoBlur .215 for use w/ Safestrap available for download here in a bit.
