  • [12/29] (3.10) Early support for booting custom ROMs on stock partitions. (Custom ROMs will need to be worked out for XT912 on JB4.1 still)
  • [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)

  • [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.

EDIT:

I got it working. When into recovery to check it out. Cleared battery stats because it was at 100% and turned off safe mode. Now my phone won't turn back on...Please help. Was I not supposed to turn on the safe mode?

try holding vol down+power for nine seconds till screen flickers and then enter recovery and disable safe mode

...but it won't boot anything in safe-mode. It shows splash and SafeStrap, but then screen goes blank. After 20 min. I reseted it. External memory (microsdhc) is not available as every recoveries with this.

Is there SBF files or ZIPs to full factory reset? I guess that I messed something with root. I installed it without "real" sdcard mounted.

When turning safestrap off it will boot normally, unfortunately in stock..
 
Switching from Safestrap to Bootstrap/CWM

Guys, I had similar issue screen going blank in safe mode after flashing a ROM.. As such i have come back to CWM/bootstrap Recovery... but, I'm not able to boot into recovery.. it gets stuck on moto logo and a reboot againg bringing the system normally up... Any help to bring it into recovery(CWM/bootstrap)? I have even tried clearing the cache, but of no use.. :-(

EDIT : I have again tried to safestrap, only going into safestrap but not other recoveries... what could be the reason??

UPDATE : My problem has been resolved, what I thought was exactly right. When I was bringing back the RAZR from safe mode to non-safe mode, forgot to format the system partition after flashing the ROM. I did it today going back again into safestrap. Now it is fine, I am able to bootstrap/CWM.. ;)

Did you install a rom when in safe mode? You have to install a rom when you enable safestrap to be able to boot up.

    As you may have noticed I will be stopping official Safestrap support on 9/1/2014.

    I am seeing if I can get some other devs trained up on how to build Safestrap, but as always there are no guarantees.

    Thank you for all your encouragement and support over the years.

    yoyurik: I'm going build 3.10 tonight which will allow you to flash the motoblur ROM .zip to your stock files. This should correct any swiss-cheesed files brought in by a funky restore. If you continue to see screwy graphics after that, you might need to fastboot the boot.img from the OTA back onto your device, as it may have been reverted to ICS somehow and the bootloader won't complain about it.
