Hi guys,
I installed JB on my droid 4. It was running the stock ICS from Motorola. I used this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199741
I installed it by wiping the normal slot and put the zip file on the first rom slot.
I was able to boot on it without any problems, and I unistalled some of the stock apps (such as Verizon stuff, Motorola... I don't quite remember all the names). Since this moment, I didn't reboot my phone and it was fine.
But today I went out of battery, and now my phone wont boot ! I have the "Dual Core Technology", the Safetrap screen, and then blackscreen. Even the Motorola recovery wont work. And the phone doesn't seem to charge for whatever reason.
Is there a way to make my phone boot ? I was thinking about reinstalling ICS and make the update OTA to JB, but since I don't have energy on my phone I don't have time to do this...
Help me !
Thank you.

you will need a tbh programming adapter, to by pass battery
so you can flash xml restore file with rsd lite or or droid 4 utility

When you toggled to safe mode, which.toggle option did you select? One will back you up and the other one won't I don't believe.

I just did toggle safe system after done it says safe system is now enabled I would flash ics I think just want to reboot but just making sure I didn't screw anything up while in recovery

I didn't flash any roms just rooted running the exploit and then enabled toggle safe system so I should probably just reboot and be fine but I just want to make sure
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Once you toggle to safe, then you flash ics. Even if it didn't back up your original system, the worst that should happen when going back to your normal system is that it will take you back to a fresh install and you will need to set your accounts back up and reinstall your apps

If you don't flash ics (or any rom) when your in safe mode and reboot your phone, it won't load because there isn't a version of android there.

flashed ics and it gave me bad/installation aborted going to try and transfer on sd card with my wifes phone with a fresh download see if that works and it should go onto external correct???
I believe I have mine in internal. I think you can install it from either location.
You may want to clear the cache and stystem data before flashing if you didn't. Sometimes that helps.

ok looks like was just a bad md5 or something so when i flash google apps do i wipe anything prior to flashing that???
cool got it up just setting up but i have to say this rooting proccess was so much more work than i made it out to be but can't hurt to be too careful i guess
While I'm thinking about it, I wanted to ask a question. I had to revert back to the stock ROM, and went to re-add root and Safestrap 2.10. All went well with the install, but when I went to enable the Safe System, and I rebooted, the phone did the POST (Motorola symbol), got to the SafeStrap splash, then the screen went blank. None of the keys would do anything, and the only way I could make anything happen, was to pull the battery. I had to go back into Safestrap, and disable it again. Anyone else experience this?

Did you flash something in safe mode before rebooting?

No, just enabled it, allowed it to do it's backup, then rebooted. Thought for sure I was going to have to reload SBF again.

The first time you enable safe mode you need to flash a rom. You tried to boot... Nothing, thus the black screen

Ahh.. that makes sense. Do we have any idea when a more stable ROM is coming out for the D3?

All gb roms are stable. It's just ics that has issues, however the kexec cm9 currently in alpha will be stable, likely in the next few weeks

The kexec ICS from 8/6 is surprising stable for me. I've been running it for nearly a week and while I've had some reboots and a couple of freezes that required a battery pull, it's run better than I expected.
I have had the problem with leaving bluetooth on and answering a call without a headset - no audio until BT turned off.
Also, as advertised, no camera. Another note, the car dock USB audio doesn't work.
I've even scripted a mount to keep the Play Music directory on the external SD card and mass storage mount on the computer works better than stock with the mount in place. Internal sd doesn't mount though.

I've been trying to do the OTA update and can't. I've uninstalled recovery, uninstalled safestrap, updated my SU, unfroze all apps, and downloaded voodoo. Well after I think 7 attempts of this I decided to switch methods and do it through fastboot. Well I can't get fastboot to actually stay open on my computer to accomplish this. I have tried to figure that problem out too no help there. I'm assuming I deleted something before I froze the apps that isn't allowing me to do the update. Is there any solution to all this? Especially getting fastboot to work. Also in safestrap the first time I flashed something to my safe system it worked fine. After that regardless of what I did I could never get another rom to work. Everything else just sent it into a black screen forever.
What are you using to try to fastboot? RSDlite or jsnweitzel's Droid 4 tool?

I would try using the Droid 4 Utility. I successfully fastbooted GB a while back using it. Also, make sure you have the latest moto drivers installed.

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

Downloading tablet UI version.
Thanks,Matt..you've kept us alive.

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!

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

If it's like the last OTA to ICS, you're probably going to have to flash the ICS fastboot files before the new OTA will take. The problem before was safestrap changed something, somewhere (logwrapper maybe?), that did not get changed back after uninstalling the safestrap recovery and app. MAYBE this has been changed/fixed in the new versions of safestrap? Pretty sure we were on version 2.x at the time. You can always try without fastbooting and see what happens. Won't hurt anything. If you do need to fastboot, use jsnweitzel's utility. It has an option to fastboot without wiping data. That's what I'm planning on doing. It should still fix whatever safestrap changed.

Yes. Never try to flash a fastboot or sbf file without making sure you have PLENTY of charge. Same goes for backing up and ROM flashing. You never want your phone to die in the middle of a flash.

I think the most important thing to do is grab the update file and post it on Mediafire or similar so that the rest of us can have it
