All you need, is...
1) Unlocked bootloader. If you don't have this, and aren't willing to have this, leave now.
2a) epinter's CWM recovery -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973904
2b) CWM / TWRP for the XT926 developer edition
3) Chainfire's SuperSU (Donate to this guy, he does a **** ton for the android community! ) -- http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/
The process is SIMPLE.
Follow epinter's fastboot directions for installing cwm on your XT925 or the instructions for CWM/TWRP for the xt926 (Haven't tested, only have a 925) and from there, install the SuperSU package from your SD Card. Reboot, test, done.
As of time of writing, the current and 100% functional version of SuperSU is v0.99, I can not guarantee earlier version will work, however I assume that later ones will.
Thanks works great.

Did you find a way to unlock the XT926?
You are not your iPhone 5
#tylerdurden
Xt926 cannot be unlocked unless you have the developer edition. Also there is a CWM and TWRP recovery for us (xt926 developer) so I would fast boot flash that instead of the one for XT925. Otherwise, awesome thread.

Let me clarify
The root package will work on ANY phone running jelly bean.
The trick is getting CWM/TWRP/Any insecure recovery installed first.
If you can flash .zip's you can install this root method.

Right. There is no root for jellybean on the non dev. The utility returns you to ICS then you root and protect root through the OTA.

So, just to clarify what these steps actually do (I like to understand the reasons why things have to be done to make them work);
1) Bootloader unlocked: This allows you to install the Clockwork Mod
2a & b) Install Clockwork Mod: This installs an appropriate Clockwork Mod image file that epinter has created for this model phone. We then use the AP Fastboot option when rebooting (by holding down that horrific combo of volume and power buttons) to fire this up.
3) Because we're now using a slightly modified...ermm...image?...whatever, it lets us run the SuperSU package directly from our SD card, allowing it to get its' initial root access and we then use the SuperSU app to grant superuser rights as we fire up each app as per a normal root.
Sound right, or have I totally misunderstood things? I'd love to go ahead and do this (I'm in Australia with a XT925, so although I've not yet unlocked it, I can), but I use my phone for work, so I can't really screw it up. I did have root on ICS and loved it, but unfortunately, I didn't know you had to protect root before accepting the JB OTA update, so I lost it then (but still have things like Superuser installed).

Ok I got that. XT926 here. But all the directions I'm reading say that you need root to install CWM, because you need to rename a system file. So if I'm trying to get root through these steps, which requires root to install CWM...??? What am I missing...
I tried installing TWRP, but I get the same screen as CWM when trying to get into recovery (open android with ! symbol)
With twrp you don't need to rename anything. I have it installed. Fastboot flash it, press volume down + power for 10 seconds to simulate a battery pull, then quickly before it reboot press the Volume up + volume down + power combo to pull up the menu, then enter recovery. The trick is to not let it reboot after flashing twrp the first time. Once in twrp make a backup and it will overwrite the stock recovery. (This is all for the dev edition XT926.)

Alright, thanks! I got it now with TWRP. Looks like I kept missing that crucial "prevent bootup" step.
I am curious though, how this would work for someone (with the dev edition) who wants to keep CWM since it does not auto-rename the stock recovery? If I'm not mistaken the process would go like this:
1) fastboot flash CWM
2) reboot into CWM before phone boots up
3) use CWM to flash SU package, obtaining root
4) boot up phone, which causes CWM to be overwritten
5) now with working root, rename stock recovery using file explorer app
6) repeat step 1, and boot up phone keeping CWM since the stock is renamed
Wow that was simple.....many thanks man

I did unr3l3as3droot and forever root first. Then I did the path saver. Then I flashed 896 and 901. After that, I downloaded the 902 ota but didn't install it. Moved it from /cache to the external SD card. Then I turned the phone off. To turn it back on, I hit both volume up and down as I powered it back on. That took me to a different menu that I can't currently think of the name but that is where you will flash 902 at. Remember that the 902 update has 901 in its file name when flashing. If you come across a triangle thing, hit volume up and down and the update will flash.

I just did the OTA over wireless and did the update and I kept ROOT.
I did un-froze all the apps I had frozen with titanium backup before applying the update.
Still have root...
In my case, the update wouldn't install. I had to go all the way back before I could go forward.

If you lose root during the update, see here to get it back.
People have been asking in the dev forum alot about how to have two roms on the same device. So i thought I would make a how to.
You do this at your own risk.
Things Needed:
external SD
Get CWM for droid3
SafeStrap for droid3
stable rom to use as nonsafe [put on external SD]
rom to use as safe [put on external SD]
TiBu
1. (make sure you are in nonsafe, if you don't know what this means then dont worry). Do a backup of everything you will want to keep with TiBu.
2. Put the backup on external SD or on dropbox.
3. Uninstall any existing recoveries.
4. Reboot device.
5. Install cwm.
6. Reboot into CWM Recovery and install stable rom.
7. Reboot device.
8. Uninstall CWM and Then install safestrap.
9. Reboot into safestrap recovery.
10. Use volume rockers to go to safe boot menu.
11. Toggle safesystem.
12. select install a zip
13. choose safe rom
14. DONE "]
The nonsafe system will now contain your stable rom. and the safe system will contain your 'experimental' or second rom. I recommend not putting any new or buggy roms as your nonsafe. And this is already considered a dangerous thing to do. And give a huge thanks to hashcode for providing us with safestrap and koush for cwm :]
I currently use MavRom as a nonsafe. Its extremely stable and has not caused any issues at all.
Also if you want to transfer the safe to the nonsafe, use tibu to entirely back up the rom, system and user apps, you can then restore it after flashing it to nonsafe. Make a new backup folder to put it in so you don't mix it up with other backups from different roms

Damnit man I would rather not have to run cm7 as my stable rom seeing how I have no front facing camera support but the other features that the blur based roms lack just make it impossible to use as a daily driver.

I can't get cm7 to boot up past the safestrap splash screen.... I start out with bootstrap boot cm7 up and then remove bootstrap and install safestrap thus making cm7 my non safe or main rom but upon rebooting the phone I just get the black screen after the splash screen... I can get into safestrap and switch to safe mode and run whatever rom I last had there or flash any nandroids I had in non safe mode but whatever rom I had on prior to installing safestrap (cm7 or cm9) they won't actually reboot. I thought cm9 would work which would really be a hastle keeping that as my non safe rom and cm7 as my main one on the safe side thus leaving me to redo the entire process everytime a new cm9 is released but cm9 wouldn't boot up past the initializing apps screen that first pops up... It counts up to all the apps I have then just stays stuck on starting applications or whatever it says, cm7 doesn't even boot up beyond the splash screen...
Edit: And I know that I'm doing it right because I have got Steel Droid to dual boot before I just can't understand y blurfree roms can't boot in non safe mode

Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
Ok, time to feel like a total noob.
So, my idea was to use safestrap to install aokp on the safe partition and leave my stock (+root) rom on the unsafe one.
I had bootstrap installed, just to back up my stuff and whatnot, so, I uninstalled it, installed safestrap, put all the stuff needed for AOKP ( rom, gsm patch and gapps ) and rebooted the phone. I enabled the safe system, and flashed rom, patch and gapps. then I rebooted, and I got into a loop where I would see the motorola logo ( the still one, which says "dual core technology" or something like that), then I got the safestrap splashscreen and if I pressed search, or left the phone idle so it would boot on it's own, it would get me to the motorola logo again, and repeat the loop.
I had to go back to the unsafe system and luckily it's all still there, but, since that point I tried every combination that I could think off, with wipes and I've flashed even just the rom, between wipes, and still, nothing.
I'm thinking that safestrap is not being able to write on the partition, or something like that, but I don't know how to solve it.
Any Ideas?
EDIT: I checked with a root explorer on /preinstall ( which I understand is the /system folder for the safe system ) and all the data seems to be there, but it's just not booting. Which makes me even more confused

Updated Safestrap for RAZR-HD/Atrix-HD to v3.12:
Download the APK Installer Here for "RAZR-HD/ATRIX-HD"
md5sum: 9b3d75e84c06d1e71af1bf1bad57faf3
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: How to Safestrap
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)
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
- The entire TWRP team who has built an AMAZING recovery system.
- The testers (BigDX) which have helped in past and present versions of Safestrap, knowing that it could mean they brick their devices.
As always let Hashcode know what you think!!!
For users running jellybean leak only
INSTRUCTIONS for getting STOCK running on a rom-slot:
[ EDIT: 11/15, Removed fix-rom-slot.zip from instructions. It's no longer needed and screws up paid apps. ]
STEPS:
1. Install Safestrap 3 from the above notes
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Make a backup of your stock rom slot
4. Go into "Boot Options" and create a new rom-slot (if you haven't) -- 1GB data is probably good enough for most users
5. Once that is created it may say "rom slot: off" at the top, make sure to go back into the new rom-slot and use "Activate" button
6. Now use the "Restore" button on the main menu to restore the backup you made of stock to the new rom-slot
7. When that's done restoring, use "Wipe" -> "Factory Reset" and then "Dalvik Cache" from the main menu
8. At this point you should have a full working copy of the stock MotoBlur ROM on a rom-slot which you can flash and modify w/o fear of bricking.
9. Reboot and enjoy
IF USERS on STOCK ICS want a method for getting that onto a rom-slot as well, let Hashcode know.
When I open up the apk it closes and says unfortunately safe strap has stopped working

Yes you must be on the Jellybean leak, rooted, with Safestrap 3.0 installed.
Well I rebooted without wiping data or cache and now my phone won't boot.
Cannot enter SS3 either..
So this is a must, not a suggestion.

For you it was a must, in my other experience it's a suggestion. Always wipe if unsure. I will note this in the OP, however.
Yes go into boot options (power and both volume buttons) bp tools

Thanks man , great to see some Custom ROM Action :good:
Will definitely try it over the weekend .
Did everything like the op said and ended up in a boot loop.So i had to go to ap fastboot and use the utility 1.0 to go back to stock and start over.Not sure what went wrong.Will try again and see what happens.
Hey matt. Nice ROM... it looks really cool. Thanks.
For ppl with unlocked BL are the steps the same. Mine is a bell model and cant update to the leaked jellybean. Also do i need safestrap?
I now there's only like 2 of us in this situation here... thnx in advance

unsuccesful on my end as well just stayed at the boot animation all night RSD saved me though i might try again later
edit** tried twice now and still no dice boot loopin on tablet mode
bootloop
tried tablet version and went into bootloop.....and what happened to the safe strap recovery because this sucks having to rsd, update, root all over again. can i just root, install recovery then restore MY ORIGINAL backup and i assume thats without data. this was a simple op nothing should have went wrong...maybe leave save strap in???
I'm a giddy lil' b#!&h for this! I can't wait to get the time to figure all of this out and get this GORGEOUS ROM runnin! Thanks Matt and Sirhoover for all your work and testing!
Deep rooted in the mAtrix HD...

Well you can go to leaked Jellybean for AT&T if you are boot loader unlocked... You flash system and boot.IMG from ATT 77.12.22 then boot to stock recovery and install the jellybean leak after the normal root procedure ( root, ota root keeper, etc) see the threads for those Also might need to wipe data when flashing att files or boot loop.

For people having problems I hope you restored to a ROM Slot and wiped data/cache. This method has been tested by SirHoover2010 and he says it works.
It works.

I'm bootlooping even after wiping data/cache, No safestrap. Tried PhoneUI

Which one did you install?
I tried 3 different times to get the tablet UI working. Each time I got stuck in boot loop.

Yesterday, Verizon approved Jelly Bean for the DROID 4 as build 98.72.18, but as is typical, Motorola sent the first wave of updates out to members of their feedback network (soak testers) this morning. And since that happened, the file has been pulled and made available to everyone with the device.
We have instructions for you below, so if you do not feel like waiting for the update to be pushed to your device, feel free to jump below.
The official changelog can be found here. here
Instructions:
*These are the instructions from the RAZR HD update, but they should work for the DROID 4 as well.
*You have to be running the official Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4) update of build 6.16.217. You also have to be completely stock.
1. Download the update file here: here
2. Drop that file on your SD card, not internal storage.
3. Turn phone off, and reboot into recovery.
*Hold both Volume Up and Down along with Power until you see the boot menu. Use Volume Down to hover over “Recovery.” Press Volume Up to select it.
*Once you see the Android and Exclamation point, press both Volume Up and Down at the same time.
4. Select “apply update from external storage.”
*Use Volume keys to highlight, Power button to select.
5. Then select the file you downloaded from above. It should already be on your SD card.
6. Watch as the update applies.
7. Once finished, choose the “reboot” option and enjoy!
DON'T FORGET TO SAY THANKS!

FYI, you will lose root if you do this without Voodoo unrooting first, as I just mistakenly did

yes ots's will cause you to loose root
So do I need to De-root and remove safestrap before installing this, or can I just install and then root this?

Safeboot and restore complete stock ICS. Don't worry about losing root. RAZR blade method is confirmed to work. Unless u have no access to PC then yes backup root with voodoo only if u are using super user latest binary. Restore root after jb update.
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app
does anyone know if this changes the kernel as with gingerbread to ics? curious to know if my ics custom rom will work in safestrap still or if its a done deal
Sorry for spamming on this topic, but just tried to install this after disabling safestrap and done factory reset.
got to recovery and chose the file, it started install but then gave error
"Assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/bin/logwrapper", "aHASHCODE" ,"ANOTHER HASHCODE")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted."
EDIT: OK I have to flash it completely stock with RSDlite and clean package, just downloading it..
EDIT2: Just installing this update, clean ICS with RSDlite helped

i have not upgraded yet as i allways wait for some type of working sbf..sence this will upgrade your device to jellybean i am sure it will include new kernels
Is it possible to revert to the OEM 4.0.4 (6.16.217) firmware via the existing SBF?
Just curious, I haven't made the jump to JB yet.

does anyone know how to reflash after update? i mean to reflash the entire phone, not just do a factory rest/wipe. or is that my only option?

Like rruleford said the only way to totally wipe/flash the entire phone would be to wait for the xml fastboot files. What you COULD try is placing the JB OTA update on your external sd card, then booting into stock recovery, wiping data and cache, and then re-flashing the update manually. It should be able to flash over top of itself just fine. Not sure if it would fix anything but might be worth a shot.

ok thanks you all, i guess i can wait for the fastboot files then.. it hasnt rebooted on me all day so far. might have been a glitch with apps i installed that no longer work well on jb as they did on ics

aah dang sussed it. seems u can now reboot the fone by holding power button for 3-4 seconds. mine gets stuck once in a while so thats what i think was causing the reboots. any chance there's a way to turn that off?

Thanks for the link, this method is not working for me and I have stock ICS installed, removed safestrap and all, but I get a code 7 validation error of the current version that is installed.. maybe because im dutch and have an adjusted build.prop and apnsconf for data
