[Q] Brick your phone question

[sbreen94]

I currently have my bionic rooted and have the safe strap installed. When going into ROM manager it says that i must have clockworkmod recovery installed in order to access some of the things. Would i brick my phone (or have a chance of it?) if i install it having also installed the Bionic Safestrap. Thanks for any help!

Safestrap does not have any interactions with ROM Manager. Bionic Bootstrap has provisions for ROM Manager.

Use only 1 of the recovery methods. Do not use both. You could cause a lot of problems by running Bootstrap+Safestrap.

So baisically i shouldnt use rom manager to reboot into recovery? If i install Clockwork Mod from the ROM manager app does that then install the bionic bootstrap? thanks

Bionic Bootstrap is a standalone APK that exists separately from ROM Manager. It enables a secret spot that ROM Manager can access to activate recovery functions, such as when you use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery. Alternately, Bootstrap has a button that you can use to reboot to bootstrap recovery.

On the other hand, Safestrap runs as a secondary bootloader when you start your phone. ROM Manager does not know how to interact with it.

Pick one, and stick with it.
