I have the AHD w/ 4.1.1 rooted. Other than rooting it, its stock. I haven't installed SafeStrap like everyone else and I'm going to unlock my bootloader shortly. So how should I go about flashing CWM recovery afterwards? I want to go from unlocking to flashing recovery without SafeStrap. Thanks

Easiest way is to download ROM manager and install the recovery for the photon q.

Does this mean that the TWRP recovery for the Photon Q will work?
really waiting to move from safestrap to twrp.
Don't know about that. Only 1 way to find out though.

yo can you flash with the photon q cmw if so is there a special process you use?
It works like it was made for ours.

I decided to use ROM Manager and install the Photon Q cwm. Works like a charm. I did a full backup & restore of my stock rooted 4.1.1 without a hitch. Mounted /system, wiped and reset, then flashed Batakang Rises and gapps... I can't complain at all! Haven't had any FCs or anything. Battery life is much better for sure!

Well I was installing a custom system ui. And I didn't make a ss backup. My bad I know. Well the phone wouldn't boot up past recovery so I deleted the ROM slot and created a new one to reinstall a fresh copy of joker but when flashing the gapps the screen flashes off then goes back to the add zip screen. Any ideas?

Lol sure. To check all you need to do is cruise to your system app folder and see if there is odex files in there. Just send it to me again and I'll do it right quick.
Like that?

Yeah your odexed.
I have my atrix HD rooted and safe strap installed and I have been trying out a few different ROMs for it. Earlier today I decided to install golden ROM over my stock slot, so I made a backup of my stock ROM and restored my stock ROM slot with a backup of golden ROM. Now when I turn my phone on it loads the safe strap screen like normal but if I try to go to safe strap or just boot my phone or goes to a black screen and does nothing.
Can someone please help me?

Your not supposed to write over the stock slot.
Sent from my JokerMATRIX HD MAXX
Try restoring your stock rom back. using safestrap/twrp.
If you are not able to do anything ... then propably you are gone .... ,
you will have to use rsd lite and install the stock firmware.

I thought that I read that it would be okay as long as I had a backup. Apparently not

I flashed safestrap for the razr when it first came out but now I want to use cwm. I don't know how to uninstall it. I get the red ! dead andrord when I try and get in to recovery.. I need some help I have look for the answer by searching but don't see anything. I am still new to this and need a little guidance please...
Motorola atrix hd at&t rooted and unlocked bootloader...
thanks
Uh I removed safe strap on my device but I can't remember how. It might have involved full wipe or something like that. It is probably not the exact way to do it so don't do it if you don't trust me.

So you uninstalled it then if your getting the dead Android.. You just click uninstall within safestrap. Make sure you delete the created partition.

Download a CWM image, boot to fastboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
Right? You can unlock BL while on safestrap I'm sure, so I don't see why not.
Unless I'm just dumb and SafeStrap isn't installed to the phone's recovery partition...
Just wanted to say thanks for the help. I installed cwm recovery flashed the cm10.2 and the safestrap is no more...

all right i was wondering if there was a way to revert back to 4.1.1 i was trying to get to 4.2.2 and it worked but i forgot the Gapps so i tryed everything to get them to work and no go i tryed to get ClockworkMod Recovery and every tutorial out didnt work i got the bootloader unlocked and everything i thought everything was working great till i forgot the Gapps im running on 4.2.2 VANQUISH_U_BP_ Is there anything i could do or am i screwed ...?
4.1.1
I just want to go back to 4.1.1 if possible and i have my back up from safestrap if that helps
If u made a backup. . Flash it..but first if I was u.I would take a breather. Calm down. .watch some of qbking77 videos on YouTube. He spoon feed it to you. .search your phone on xda and Google.. do your research. .

You'll need to unlock your bootloader to install custom ROMs. As for root apps, there are a lot but to name a few: Root Browser, AdFree, Clean Master, Greenify, Startup Manager, and if you're going to be flashing ROMs, Titanium Backup, I cannot recommend the pro version enough.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Thanks I have safestarp and am running inflikted...any good ROMs you'd reccomend...I have clean master and root explorer to pro....I was not a fan of titanium back up...maybe it was just a bit confusing to me

Don't use safestrap with an unlocked bootloader man. Your setting yourself up for failure. It's mentioned at least a hundred times. Hell even in the title of the safestrap thread.

It seems to be working okay as of now...like I said I'm new to this...I think safe strap was in the same file with inflikted... What would you recommend using?

Delete what ever partition you created with ss. Then start your phone and go into the app and click uninstall. Then use myth tools to flash cwm.

Hell, I have small fingers and it's an issue. I always have to be very careful selecting "+++Go Back+++" after I tap the wrong option so as not to erase anything like user data.
