Hi....
Could someone help me to the beginning???
Currently, I have my Droid Bionic running CM 10.1.2 RC using SafeStrap 3.11 (Rom Slot 1). Along the way, I think I deleted the stock rom.
I am looking to reset my phone (remove SS, add a 'stock' rom) and then re-install SS and add the custom rom's of my choice.
I have seen some threads posted with these instructions, however, they seem to have different sets of directions.
Please clarify the directions for me to do this....

Do you remember what your stock rom was? You should be able to boot up into fastboot and reflash it using rsd lite. That will return you to the stock environment of that firmware.
How to Get Back....
I was using GingerBread 2.3.4 when I rooted and installed SS.
I noticed if I tried to boot into stock recovery, there is a green android lying down with a red triangle & exclamation point.
Where will I find the recovery files I need ?? How long does the process take and what will I loose as I am doing this ???
All I am trying to do is set-up SS 3.11 correctly, so I can switch back-and-forth correctly and test/try-out new roms.
Thanks again for any help possible....

After running rom manager to install from sd card it asks for backup and wipe and reboots to my original stock rom. Im confused. Im rooted have superuser, busybox. I try to manually boot into recovery and it keeps sending me to the exclamation point screen. I can only get into manual recovery after reflashing clockworkmod. When i try to manually flash the rom no .zip files are visible on my sd card. Noob and confused any help would be greatly appreciated. Tring to get over the hump on this initial flash. Used superoneclick to root.

I have the moto droid 1. Stock build is FRG83D running 2.2.1 As i described earlier i am rooted with superoneclick 1.7. When try to flash the rom Buglessbeast ( FRG83DV0621.zip) from the rom manager (install from sd card) it asks for reboot and install, it goes through process, asks for back up and wipe permission. Reboots to stock rom.
I'm actually having the exact same issue. Same Phone, Same Firmware, Same Root process, same point with Rom Manager. Only difference is I'm trying to install Cyanogen. Wierd though, because I had just done it successfully with no problems at all, but now I'm running the process with my friend's phone and I'm having the exact same issues as you.
I was running on froyo before I started process, and now I cannot boot up. This is what I did:
First I used the step 1 in the cyanogenmod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide) to install the ClockworkMod Recovery, everything is fine, until the final reboot step. after the ATT screen, the screen get into total unrecognized mode, and the unit will restart, and so on and on, in a loop.
Then I tried to use the speedmod-K13E with GB bootloader one click, and I still can't get into the system, but now it just stuck at the Galaxy S samsung screen, after the ATT screen, and no loop, just stuck.
Any suggesstions? Is there a stock rom I can restore back to using the external sd card? the internal sd card currently only has the cyanogenmod 9 on it. I have going through the different posts for the past two days, got really confused. If someone can point me to a step by step guide, or something similiar, really appericiated.
BTW, the recovery mode has the following:"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK
I'm on windows 7 32bit. And I donot need to save any data on the phone. It can be wipe clean.
Did u try rebooting into cwm recovery and try to re install the rom again ?
U may need GB bootloaders as well for cm 9 (?? I'm not sure though)

If you still want to run cm9 try flashing a more recent kernel inn recovery. look in the Dev section for glitch kernel or devil kernel (i like devil) they have a more recent version of cwm that should work. I haven't used this method with cm9 but it worked with aokp.

well.. my advice is try reflashing to the stock rom using the one click in this thread [Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection)+[Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)]+[Modems] UPDATED
(kk4 reccomended)
download one of the odin one click there, and flash your rom back to stock gingerbread, oh yeah, choose the rom without the bootloader.
if that doesn't get you anywhere, please reply to my post.

You should be good to go. You should be on GB bootloaders. Just reflash CM9 in CWM.
Solved.
For some unknown reason, I can net get ODIN to communication with my device, I tried multiple device, and it seems ODIN just does not work.
I used the 3rd post in your link, with Heimdall I successfully installed the KK4 and then I used the cyanogenmod wiki again, this times it works. It seems the old stock rom won't work for the wiki, must use the new stock rom.
Thanks for all the helps, guys.

you're welcome,
glad i can help
Would appreciate if someone could help me with my problem - I had earlier used CF-Root to root and install recovery which went off well, took a nandroid backup and then tried to flash CM9 through recovery. WIthin a few seconds it rebooted, showed the Cyanogenmod splash screen and went back into recovery - only this time it was a newer recovery (6.0.0.2) than what CF-Root had installed. I'm not able to install through zip file and for some reason I am not able to restore from nandroid as it says the md5 does not match. So as of now I am stuck in recovery.
To add to this, I realize that I messed up as the instructions said to update to a GB rom if coming from Froyo, which I did not notice. Any idea what I can do from here? If I can still run through this process can someone point me in the direction of a suitable GB ROM I can install? My end goal is to be on CM9, but right now would just be happy to get back to the stock GB ROM as well.
Flash to the stock firmware again? at SamMobile? That is what I did when my device did not boot up after installing CWM recovery and some rom.

Thanks sos_sifou - worked great! I think I'll stick with the Overcome GB ROM for a while as it works pretty good, and look at CM9 / 10 whenever it gets stable!
Dear friends,
Little background. I was on CM10 stable, but decided to I update to CM10.1 M1, After the update, had no market, however, so I tried to downgrade to CM10 stable and it bricked. So .. back to stock it is! Now I am having trouble getting out of stock. I am not new to flashing, but I never had this kind of a persistent problem.
The short summary of what I get no matter what I try is: Every kernel that is not the stock Eclair kernel has boot-animation messed up (random lines of color on screen), and I cannot enter recovery - I sometimes can boot sometimes cannot.
Steps I have taken
I went back to stock Eclair rom + non-root kernel (LINK).
I rooted (LINK)
But when I tried to update kernel to allow CWM, it bricked my phone. So back to stock, again!
I tried this a few times. Now, the latest attempt, I tried the stock 2.3.5 rom + rooted, CWM kernel (LINK... I get the phone running, but I cannot get into recovery, and no utility that has "reboot to recovery" has managed to get me into recovery.
The plea
All I want is CWM, so I can install what I want. Without it, I am stuck with Odin one-click and Odin flashable packages (Heimdall does not want to work right for me - the drivers are messed up - and trying to fix those brkeas my Odin drivers).
I have no data on the phone at the moment, I can reinstall everything if need be .. but I am out of ideas besides keep trying different roms and kernels until something gives me CWM and I am free again.
I have AT&T GB bootloaders.
thanks for any help, I will try to provide any additional info I can.

Messed up screen = wrong bootloaders. Flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders
From there, follow this link.
Finally, you can get back up on CM10.1 - Btw, you had no market cause you didn't flash their Gapps.
UPDATE .. ugh that took a while:
1) From the master list LINK, wet back to 2.1, I897UCJF6
2) From the same thread installed I897UCKF1 with bootloaders
3) rooted: LINK (I know -not XDA)
4) removed the 3e recovery lock (LINK) - this did not seem to work, but I did do it.
5) installed Speedmod kernel from here LINK - this did not boot, but it did install CWM
6) installed CM10.0 Stable from SD cadr - twice
7) installed gapps
8) just did my first boot to CM10.
This is both a record for myself for later, and for anyone else that may find this useful.

Hello Folks,
I have a Droid Bionic Running 98.72.22XT875.Verizon.en.US (The stock JB update rooted)
I FXZ'd this onto the phone, so there are no files from the ICS install.
With SafeStrap 3.11 installed, including recovery I see the option to choose Menu to boot into the recovery, but when I press it the device just boots like normal.
I'm not sure if it is misreading my press, or if the recovery is not bootable.
IS there a new version, or is there a way I can boot into SS without using the button?
Can anyone help me out?
Thank You,
-Dacooter
Why haven't you removed & reinstalled Safestrap yet? Safestrap 3.11 works fine with JB on my phone, and I put JB on my phone with an FXZ.
I have tried re-installing SafeStrap.
I've even tried Differend APK downloads.. no luck.
Hey Folks,
I got this all figured out.
I flashed Via RSD one more time, then rooted without modifying the stock ROM at all. now it is working.
Thanks,
-Dakotah
Same problem as starter
So I'm having the same problem as the person who started this thread. I've tried SafeStrap 3.11 about 5 times and no luck. I've reflashed it using the RSD Lite tool about 5 times flashing it with http : // sbf. droid-developers. org/cdma_targa/list.php and still had no luck (of course i'm using the JB edition named "9.8.2O-72_VZW-22 Blur_Version.98.72.22.XT875.Verizon.en.US" )
Every time I press the Menu button when SafeStrap pops up it boots like normal. I can't seem to get this fixed. I tried CWR twice, made a backup, and both times the OS said "Encryption" was bad and I needed to factory reset. Only fix was using RSD Lite.
Any ideas? Should I try to manually flash recover.img?
