There is some video tutorials on you tube. Search bionic and safestrap. Or good written tutorials here in the threads but you will have to read up on it. Here you go.

Just install safe strap and it will install over bootstrap.

I thought I seen in the video that you can hit the uninstall button the very first time and it should remove it. So I thought.

I've gone back and forth. All I had to do is install them and it would write over the other one.

Could you clarify that or add some punctuation? A bit hard to interpret.
Thanks.

Failed fastboot to ICS from JB

Hey everyone,
So I messed up big time here: I recently got the JB update, rooted, and messed with something I should not have (without backing up) and ran into a boot loop.
I attempted to fastboot back to ICS, and it obviously failed while flashing. (now I realize that was a mistake, I knew you could not fastboot from GB -> ICS, so I do not know why I did not realize the same with JB -> ICS)
I know there is no fastboot files for JB yet, which makes unbricking my phone an issue.
Does anyone have any solutions on how I can unbrick my phone? (there is a solution for the razr, but I doubt that it would work for me)
Any help at all would be appreciated.

That's a good question, have been wondering about that myself. Also strange that the baseband version number is lower than the previous one.

So this will not flash onto a xt907 with a locked boot loader through RSD correct? As stated the I see it says about system and modem, but are these instructions regarding 'fastboot' flashing or both RSD and 'fastboot'

Does anyone know where to download RSD Lite? I did a google search for the program and the results popped up many different versions and no real official site for download.

Do you still have to RSD Lite back to last stock before pushing these with RSD Lite?

locked bootloader devices are able to flash only partitions that are signed by moto; all partitions besides system and modem are signed by moto.
i just mentioned that in the op because locked bootloader device users may need files other than system or modem if the update attempt fails.

no, the fastboot files can be used to upgrade to 183.46.10 regardless of which version you're currently running.

This will leave you with stock recovery?

so you have a locked bootloader device and decided to try this anyway, even though the title specifies "unlocked bootloader"?
shouldn't be too surprising that it didn't work.

CMW?

I just got my Verizon S3 mini and I have no ideal how or what to install for recoveries and flashing. I've done a search and the closet I can find is install through ROM manager but I don't see the s3 mini or anything compatible with it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

there is two ways.
1. install odin to your pc and connect your phone for cmw install.
2. on your current recovery. (power+menu+volume up)
go recovery>install zip from sd card.

I appreciate the help, guess I forgot to mention that I have tried to install the CWM through Odin for the GT-I8190 on both odin3.09 and well as odin3.04, both fail on my SM-730V.

GT-i8190 and SM-730V are different devices. There are no custom recoveries for SM-730V yet :sly:

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. Sorry if this is a stupid question I'm coming from the Motorola world but without a custom recovery I have no way of flashing a ROM correct?

The bootloader is locked on SM-G730 which means you can't flash anything that is not signed from samsung unless someone comes up with a way to unlock it.
You can still root it and debloat, tweak, run Xposed etc
Official firmware can be found on SamMobile in case you'll need it.

[Q] G Flex. Won't read Sim..

Try again. A friend of mine gave me a flex to fix.. At first, it was rooted and had a custom ROM on it. Something from mii.com. anyway. The only version it would accept is d955 so I put that on it. Imei and baseband were unknown so I put d950 on it somehow. Now, the imei and baseband are showing but it still will not accept a Sim.
What can I do?

Just make sure that is unlocked for any carrier. If not you can follow instructions on G2 forum.Unlocking steps are identical for flex and g2.

D950 is At&t so if you want to use other SIM like mobile,you phone must be unlocked. See LG g2 forum for unlocking instructions. It works. I did it.

Yes it will,but three things needs to be done.
1.modem firmware must match
2.successfully unlocked Rom will accept your SIM.
3.set the radio to desired type ( gsm, cdma etc.)

Did everything EXACTLY as said. There was no carrier folder on the Flex, so I had to create one. It is still doing the same exact thing! I put a SIM in.. it doesn't even DETECT it and the Radio is STILL OFF.

Can anyone help? I feel like this is a simple fix but everything everyone tells me to do just doesn't work!
