Is there a way to install this to stock slot? I did with safe strap 3.65 and all I get is a boot loop. After the kexec vibrate it restarts. I did a clean reinstall. Thanks for any help.

Yeah, but you need to update safestrap to 3.72, backup your stock slot, THEN flash the CM of your choice(I got the latest snapshot build), get the no_metadata gapps and flash those too. Was a smooth flash for me, but you do need to update safestrap to 3.72 on your stock rom before you do anything at all.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. Will try it out soon
This are pretty much the instructions
Made a full backup of Stock and moved it to my computer. Then flashed CM11 on the Stock slot after doing a factory reset from Safestrap
Remember to update Safestrap, or you wont be able to flash over stock.

Basically the title.
I removed the Tweaked Bootstrap.apk and just downloaded and installed Safe Strap. Rebooted and performed my first backup in Safe Strap. Tried to boot into primary and got black screen.
My current ROM is the latest (11-16) version of CM7.
I don't really need Safe Strap, I kinda just want to be able to boot again. Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Formatted /system and reflashed CM7 and GApps in SAFE MODE. Can boot now, going to try booting in NON-SAFE MODE.
EDIT2: Still can't boot into non-safe mode. My whole reason for switching was to test out ICS, so I guess I can just flash it and if I need to go back, I'll just reflash CM7.
Regardless, if anyone can tell em what I'm doing wrong, I'd be appreciative.
Did you wipe everything including dalvik? and its best if you start from a stock system. No custom ROMs. then install CWM and install whatever rom you want. uninstall CWM and install safestrap. now boot into safestrap and wipe cache and all taht. Now install ICS/CM9. I found tahts the best way to do it recieve none of the errors many people are having.
Well, since safestrap can't flash nonsafe (yet) its obvious you still can't boot nonsafe if you couldn't before. What you need to do is reflash cm7 using the old bootstrap, install safestrap, make backup, then switch to safe system and flash ics.
I have my Droid 4 ICS rooted.
I just installed Safestrap 2.11, installed recovery from inside safestrap, rebooted, enter safestrap menu, enabled safe system, flashed cm10 rom downloaded from hash, flashed gapps zip, rebooted.... and the phone is stuck on CM10 boot animation.
Anyone have any ideas?

I should mention that once I disabled the safe system the phone did boot into stock ICS just fine.

I had the same problem with eclipse when trying to flash a newer iteration. I tried flashing a bunch of patches and overclock without rebooting into the rom once. I would recommend factory wipe/wipe cache and reinstalling rom. if that doesnt work maybe just flash rom, boot and then reboot into recovery to flash gapps.
FYI, you need to do a factory reset the first time you install a ROM on your safe side. To be clear, you need to perform a factory reset on your SAFE side (ROM-side) :laugh:
Hi,
I tried installing the Chimera kernel on my sister's Exhibit and after it installed and rebooted, the phone was stuck in the CM10 boot animation. The phone has CM10 installed and it does get past the Samsung logo.
The thread for Chimera tells us to make a Nandroid but I didn't bother as when I installed Chimera on my Exhibit, all was well. So, there is no Nandroid to restore to on this phone.
Is flashing a new ROM the only option?
I'm having this same problem after I flashed everything. my rom, cache, data, delvik+cache, etc...

Just dirty flash CM10 to delete the kernel.
But I can't even get into CWM...

I was talking to Scoob.
You need to press volume up and power to get in to recovery. Volume down and power is download(Odin) mode.
Dirty flashing is flashing without wiping, right?
And if I do this, I'm guessing she will lose all her files etc.?

Wipe dalvik cache, cache and then flash CM10 and gapps. Hopefully, everything will still be there.
Ok, I'll try that. I just have one more question, does the CM10 have to be the same as the one currently installed? It's an older version and I don't have the same ZIP, so I'll have to download a newer version.

A newer version should be okay. As long as it is CM10.
It works! I just thanked all your posts in here.
Thank you very much sir!
Hey guys. I reverted back to stock after I installed Mahdi because my gps wouldn't work. I was able to get the GPS to work in the stock ROM and then I wanted to re-flash Mahdi. I rooted with ioroot, installed autorec, went into twrp and installed dr87 2.7.1.0, then I installed Mahdi. After installing Mahdi when I try to boot I get the fastboot udc-start, screen, I can get into recovey and download mode but I cannot get mahdi to boot. How can I fix this because I absolutely HATE the stock rom. Thanks guys.

Do an md5sum check on your Mahdi download, make sure it's good, same with the patch.
Wipe clean, reflash Mahdi, the patch and the gapps of your choice.

I have safestrap 3.72 TWRP v. 2.7.0.0
Every time I try to install a rom, i hear the piano noises and the screen stays black when booting it,
All I want is a rom that will work with 3.72 because currently there is no OS or Rom so my phone is unusable.
Please help and thank you very much!! :crying::crying:

Sounds like you may have wiped stock rom slot without installing a ROM afterwards...safestrap is just a workaround so you always have to have a ROM on stock slot...weird that a ROM slot is working ok though
Try restoring a backup to stock slot if you have one otherwise you might want to odin flash NC2 to get your system back.

when you say install a backup, is there a particular file that I need to install in the stock rom slot?
Whenever I try to put a rom in that slot, the device says "no os found"

I meant restore a backup from safestrap. Restore should be one of the options on the main screen in safestrap recovery. If you made a backup of stock slot before you wiped/flashed it try restoring that backup...otherwise you'll probably have to use Odin to reflash NC2
