Anyone have specific install instructions for slim kat on targa? Do I need a specific version of ss, do I need to install on slot 1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well I got no replies, but I went ahead and updated safestrap to 3.65, and installed on slot 1. It is working well.

Well, then. That's better than I got on my Bionic. CyanFox, CM11, or SlimKat(current) would not even breathe on slot 1.
Any other slot, and I was golden.
Yep, test, play, tweak, or wreck.....blow that slot up and go at it again.

Did you update your SS?

Running 3.65; was looking into updating TWRP since I went from SlimKat 3.2 to 3.6.
I'm running SlimKat just fine on Slot 1.
Wifi Tether does not work

It works now. Did the AOSP WiFi Fix (check the CM11 topic)
I personally recommend updating to 3.72 safestrap. I was getting errors flashing JBX Kernel until I did that (correctly).
Was anyone able to download the new update? I keep getting a server error.

Its good to see people still flashing custom ROMs on their bionics. I still have my bionic and its going as strong as ever. My son uses it and he loves it.
I installed Slimkat and I can't get past the loading screen. It just keeps flashing the Slimkat logo over and over indefinitely.
Alright, I fixed the problem. I made the mistake of using the old bootstrap to install Slimkat, so I wound up with a bricked device. Even the recovery was wiped out so I thought I was screwed. I did some digging and figured it out over the course of a few hours...
I downloaded the latest firmware for the Bionic and tried installing them in the command line while the phone was in fastboot. The img files supposedly loaded successfully, but I still couldn't get into recovery to finalize the system installation. Luckily I discovered RSD 5.6. It worked except there were a few problems in the xml file within the firmware, so I had to take out both lines that had "oem" in them to get it to finish.
After that my Bionic was brought back to factory stock condition. I rooted using the Safe Root command line tool, installed Safestrap 3.73, and flashed Slimkat. It worked great!
If you're having similar issues and I didn't give enough info just let me know and I'll try to help.

Is it possible to load any custom rom on my bell phone and just revert back if I needed to turn my phone in?

Also what is the most stable rom out there and does everything major in ics work?
Sent from my XT860 using XDA
There is the bell fastboot files available, so if needed you can just fastboot flash back to stock

okay, and if I dual boot ics and stock what does safemode do? like is it actually installed and use it as a daily driver? if i dual boot do my texts come in on ics and data works and everything? haha sorry for asll the questions. but i really hate screwing up my phone. i did that wih my atrix alot
That's the idea of safestrap. I think I've described it a dozen times so read up and download it URL="http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/"]here[/URL].
TL;DR - you flash to a temporary /system and can go back to stock whenever.
EDIT: Read your last post. Safestrap allows you to flash a rom without touching your current system. Your flashed rom will become your DD as it's sort of a pain to switch over. The idea is to keep a stock rom intact so you can receive OTAs and such
Ahh. I installed safe strap and its pretty cool. Is there a fix for cm9 on calling? The speaker doesn't work

Alright so recently, the build of AOKP I've been using has been getting exponentially worse and worse. I decided to do something about it, so I downloaded the newest version of Safestrap and AOKP, installed the new Safestrap, and then did all that other fun stuff. I boot into recovery only to find that the menus don't show up no matter what I do. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safestrap and also rebooting the phone multiple times. Anybody know how to fix this?
Sent from my XT894 using xda app-developers app
There are different versions of safestrap. One for running with stock GB and one for ICS. You should update your stock system to ICS first then use safestrap 2.0.
Forgot to add that I'm on ICS already, sorry about that.

I've been running CM 10.1 on my 7310 for a couple of months - it's slow, but it does the job.
Today it started misbehaving more than usual, so I rebooted. It's spent the afternoon rebooting itself about once every five minutes - freeze and hard reboot (Samsung splash screen). I tried different versions of CM and AOKP to figure out if it was hardware or software, no change.
I wiped it and flashed CM 9 nightlies a couple of hours ago, and got the same behaviour. After some googling I found aLogrec and turned it on. As soon as it boots and tries to start recording the logcat, it hard reboots. I figure the onboard flash storage is borked - is there anything I can do? I can't even get it to boot into Recovery, it just loops forever.
I'm hoping someone out there can give me some ideas before I go out and spend on a Nexus 7..
Have you tried to see what happens if you install official ICS with Odin?

You could see if odin still recognize it and fish a stock rom. But by the sound of it I think you're sol.

Odin recognised it and has flashed the right ICS official, but it just sits on a glowing Samsung logo.
Odp: [Q] Is my Tab dead?
I will wipe all data/cache from recovery and see if that works, but I'm not so experienced and you should wait for someone with proper knowledge to give you advice But you just might give it a try
First thing I tried, but thanks for the suggestion

Do s factory reset. That'll work.

I just applied the Honeycomb 3.2 shipped image using Odin and it seems to be working. Going to attempt to reapply CWM and flash an ICS build now..
Glad to hear it worked out for you.

It's been stable on the CM10.1 M2 build all day. I don't know why the official 4.0.4 firmware didn't work, but I'm glad I tried 3.2 before giving up.
Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions.

Be a ninja and paste the link to the rom you used. I've borked my upgrade too. I can get in to loki for oden to send the rom, just need the rom that will work with oden.
Thanks,

I flashed the 4.0.4 from here and it didn't work, so I tried the 3.2 and restored it to shipped state using Odin. After that I rooted and reinstalled CWM with Odin, and then flashed the CM 10.1 M2 build from the Development forum here the usual way (copy to SDcard, reboot recovery).
Good. I should have mentioned you have to start with gingerbread. Could have saved you a step.

So I'm running the 9/18 CM 10.2 on my verizon droid 4 stock slot. I saw in the thread for CM that there is a new binary. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102723&page=81 What exactly does the binary do and should/how do I use that latest binary?
Nah your good. That's just for fast booting back to stock in case things get fubar

If your phone is totally dead, you can restore it using that files and the method of flashing it through RSD

Thanks for the heads up.
I work at a cell fix shop and one of my customers brought in a Bionic that his son tried to root and ended up with Safestrap 3.6 installed but no OS. I have done OS fixes by completely wiping the phone and re-installing the stock OS but I would like to just be able to place the stock os in the stock os rom slot but I have no idea how or where to start looking for those files and I have tried searching here for them but I don't know what the official os is for this phone. Any help would be awesome, until this happened I had never even seen safestrap, and I have no idea how to use it and not the time to figure it out by myself. Thanks guys!
If I remember correctly I don't think your going to be able to because he wiped the system, you could try installing the deoxided stock and see

Ok so should I look then for "deoxided stock" for bionic? or is there a specific version # or something specific I should be looking for? Also if you happen to have a link to that it would be awesome
Here's a link
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php?/topic/16256-[Bionic][MODs]-Deodex-&-1%-Battery-Mods-for-Stock-JB-98.72.22
But I did notice it's just the os not the system so I doubt it'll work. You could flash a stock based ROM like FlyingJelly and that should take but it would have tweaks and themes different from stock

FXZ that baby back to stock! I made an oopsie and that was the ticket. Restores file structure and bootloader, etc. Reinstall Safestrap.
