I got a new phone in yesterday and after starting up, I immediately rooted and installed Hashcode's tweaked version of Koush's Bootstrap Recovery. I did a Nandroid backup and everything went smoothly. However, I went on to flash Dark Droid and everything worked great, but after clicking "Bootstrap Recovery" after flashing (as I read that one should after flashing a new ROM), I received the following error:
Failure
/data/data/com.hashcode.droid3.bootstrap/files/surunner.sh
[Permission denied]
Any idea as to what's going on here? Thanks in advance.

Check superuser it looks like it did not get su permission.
i had some issues like that, it was solved by updateing busybox then su. worth a shot anyway.

I checked SU and the Bootstrapper definitely has SU permissions. I also updated SU, but to no avail.
Anyone else?
did you check busybox?

I'm not very familiar with how Busybox works or how to "check" it. Could you teach me?
Edit: So I know there is some version of Busybox installed on my phone (doesn't psouza's one-click root automatically install it?), but I went ahead and donwloaded the Busybox installer from the Market and installed the latest version. Still not working. I even removed permission from SU in order to regain permission but that also didn't work.
Bump...still can't figure it out. Thank you again in advance.
Hello Lyxdeslic,
Have you tried Koush's stock Droid 3 Bootstrap? I'm curious if his apk would also have the same error.
I've seen a total of 2 users describe the issues that you're seeing. And 1 case was fixed, but never was explained how to me, the other issue was never resolved.
The 1st reply has it correct. The issue is that the Bootstrap "thinks" it has SU permissions, but it doesn't. And I'm 100% sure it has to do with the upgrade of Superuser.apk tho for 99% of users, all of it works seemlessly.
I apologize for not being able to provide much help :/

My friend, no need to apologize at all. I appreciate the response, as I was considering PMing you but I didn't want to be a bother considering you probably get tons of PMs a day.
However, I uninstalled your tweaked Bootstrap this morning (also deleted data prior) and reinstalled it, and permissions were re-granted and it works now. I just realized that this did indeed happen after SU binaries were updated. All seems to be working well now.
One last quick question; after re-installing, if I boot into Recovery mode...will your Bootstrap still recognize and find the Nandroid backup on my SD card, which was also created with your Bootstrap during the first installation? I don't have my phone on me at the moment and I forgot to test.
Thanks again for the support. Kudos to you.

The Safestrap isn't to be used with ROMs other than CM7 Alpha and the stock MotoBlur ROM, if I'm not mistaken.

It let to enter in the recovery, and is enough for me.
Ok, right...but why would you want to enter recovery in case of a bootloop when you can't flash the ROM you want to to restore your system? I mean yea Hashcode did create the MotoBlur ROM compatible with Safestrap only but still. Both options (safestrap and bootstrap) are needed, in my opinion.

I think that trying yourself is better than theorize...
They are two different sw created for different purposes, but those purposes are overlapping on the part that counts: booting in to recovery.

Correct. They both get you into recovery...but he wants to flash a ROM other than CM or stock. Which Safestrap has no use for. He needs a bootstrap, no ifs ands or buts. Safestrap is of no use to him.

This is what is needed to flash a rom (whatever rom), to do a nandroid backup and so on.
Period.
If you don't use a safestrap enabled rom just don't use the related feature

Safestrap is different in the way that it flashed roms. So. There.
OP:
You can install safestrap (after uninstalling whatever recovery app you had before) and hold tight until later tonight or tomorrow when I update DarkDroid with safestrap compatibility.

Listen, I'm used to talk just when I'm sure about things.
Right now I've installed a rom starting with safestrap, and works perfectly.
So why don't try yourself instead of posting guesses as facts ?

Looking forward to your latest
Hello I have a droid x2 and I am running CM7 however my wife has finally given in and wants her Bionic rooted so I can remove all the bloat. I am curious I am seeing that the only way is the manual root? I have never used ADB before and I was hoping there is another way. I downloaded the for3ver zip but did not see the run.bat file I was looking for. Any help would be appreciated!! Also I installed the bootstrap in the sticky I am sure as usual make a nano back up as soon as I getg rooted.
Edit.. got it rooted
Can you post what you did in order to get rooted? Im new to this phone and im having some trouble
My wife's phone was on. 893 I used this and it was very easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
Just download both files extract them do the exploit zip first then the 4 everroot and pick your option to root. I looked at theblink again and do not see the first exploit I flashed. I will have to check my wife's phone and see what I put on her SD card

Actually that is the thread I used it has the exploit first. Very easy. Once rooted I suggest making a nano back up of your stock rooted rom. That way if you do something wrong you can easily get back.
Hello. First off, I want to thank everyone for their hard work here. I have followed many tutorials and have seen many great conversations to keep noobs like me from making mistakes when trying to delve into the world of ROMs and rooting. However, I did encounter some troubles while installing the ICS rom onto my bionic (running on .902). I think I may have accidentally overwritten the stock rom backup that I made with safe strap or whatever that app is (I'm sorry, like I said, I am a complete noob). Is there a way to restore the phone to stock, as in before I even touched it, even if the backup I made during the process is gone by my mistake?
I'm sure this has been asked a million times, and if so, I apologize, but as I noob, I have no idea how to even begin to search for clues. Walkthroughs would be nice, but links are fine too, since I'm sure there are plenty of the same questions out there.
Thanks!!!

Also I believe if you disable safe mode it will boot up rooted stock from don't quote me on that I am not for sure. Also I believe there is a unroot method in development not sure if it is for 902 or not though..

Thanks! Can that be used after the .902 update? Is it possible to do a dual-boot type deal between stock and the ICS version I have installed? I've seen mentions of dual-boot around here, but I can't get a clear grasp on whether it is possible or not, or if so, how to do it. Thank you very much!

Yeah I'm sure you can.
Get on stock .902(here).
Install SafeStrap.
Backup Stock Rom by Toggling "SafeMode"
Boot up ICS.
When you want to go to Stock .902 undo "SafeMode" and the Stock Rom should boot up on Reboot
Thanks for the answer! Hopefully I can give this a shot soon!

Don't know what I'm doing wrong here, but when I plug my phone in to my PC, the phone realizes it, but doesn't seem like the PC does. Also, when I open RSD Lite and try to load the file, it doesn't do anything after clicking "Start". Please help me try to diagnose what I may be doing wrong if you can! Thank you!

Enable Usb Debugging and Unknown Sources. Download Motohelper drivers
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I'm sorry I probably should be a little more specific. I have both of those enabled and I do have the Motohelper drivers installed. I am following the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22758211#post22758211
On step 8, I do not see a file named FXZ or a file with that extension, but I figured it was the file with the name that the zip file had. I chose that file after clicking "..." and hit Start, but it doesn't do anything.
I am running the ICS version cyanogen mod 9.0.0-rc0-droid_bionic-kang build number alpha_2012_02_10
I already have SafeStrap installed (used that to get this rom on). So, looks like I'm stuck on or around step 8 from the other steps posted. Once I can get past that, I can continue with the steps posted in this thread!
Thanks!!!

SafeStrap disables ADB(that Im sure of) which will not let RSD run(im pretty sure) you have to select the xml file
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Yes, the XML file is the one I select. However, it will not do anything in RSD. Is there anything I can do to enable ADB in order to let RSD run?
Update: I found a way to do it. I think things are going okay so far. Looks like it is installing. If it does install successfully, I would like to do everything perfectly right going forward.
So, after this is installed, I will want to:
1. Get root access again using Motofail? I assume doing this return to stock will remove root access.
2. Install SafeStrap. Once that is done, I toggle Safemode to enabled, which will backup my stock rom and protect it from being overwritten?
3. Then, flash ICS from the zip files on my sdcard?

hell yes. thank you,
are you currently running any of these?
will these wipe out everything on my phone so need to back it all up right?
do i use safestrap to install this? and if so what is the link and directions for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806145 he doesnt say how to install it or what to use to install it.
and is it as smooth and everything works just with out all the unnecessary crap from verizon on there
I'm not currently running either of these, but I did use this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806145&highlight=deodexed) for a few weeks without any problems. Then I tried to switch to Eclipse and messed up, so I had to fastboot back to original stock. Haven't found a rom that I'm really excited to try so I'm sticking with stock (rooted, of course). My next attempt will probably be the JB build that hashcode is working on. Once It becomes more stable, anyways.
Yes, Use Safestrap to install, it will also allow you to back up your current system. It's pretty easy to do, just follow the directions on the post when you download the rom.
Worst case scenario, you'll have to do what I did and fastboot back to stock, but most of the time the phone will be recoverable, so have fun!

I had the same problem. Is the phone currently rooted? If not, safestrap needs root. There is a walkthrough to show you how. In my case the issue was that busybox didn't install correctly. I got JRumy's Busybox Installer from the play store and used it. Worked like a charm.

No problem, good luck, and enjoy!!
Okay, looking to get more involved and learn a lot more in hopes of contributing someday but for now I'm stuck. I picked up a very used Droid 3 on Ebay and rooted it with MotoFail, then installed SafeStrap 3.05 & everything seemed fine. Problem is I can't boot into any "safe" ROM slots, it just gives me a blank black screen & I have to remove the battery to restart. My original D3 has CWM on it, but I was always too scared to flash anything too drastic so this is my test toy. It is running on the 906 with SS version 3.05.
I downloaded a bunch of ROMs and none work. I tried restoring my backup which I'm sure I saw somebody do on Youtube but I have since read that won't work anyway but I'd still like a "stock" rom in a safe slot. I also tried the official 906 zip, but also read somewhere that that only works on the stock partition. I tried aokp_toroplus_nightly_2013-08-20.zip, D3-Eclipse-v3.0_NON.zip, minimoto_v1.7.zip, & the afore mentioned VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10_1FF_01a.XML.zip but none would even flash, just gave errors. Also tried KEXEC-cm-9-20120905-UNOFFICIAL-solana-SS2.zip, Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-solana.zip, & something small called phablet-20130327-cm_solana.zip. That last one, tried usually in slot 4, is the only one that does something other than give a black blank screen - it eventually shuts the phone off. I read that Liquid had to be in slot 3 so that's where I put it every time.
I DID discover that I don't think Busybox was installed during the root this time, when I rooted my original D3 it was already there. So I installed a BB from Market, then went into SS & uninstalled, then reinstalled. Rebooted into recovery and re-wiped all the slots (except stock of course) with all 4 options (cache, dalvik, system, & uh, something else I forget now) & re-installed the ROMs but nothing changed.
More possible helpful info: When this BB installed it gave me an option of normal install or more thorough "smart" install, I did the smart install, also installed CWM ROM Manager to try something but that didn't work either, and downloading official ROMs through that always gives an error. Data sizes of slots are all 2GB except #4 which is only 1GB. Under the "Mount" tab, system & (either data or cache, can't remember) are unchecked, and the 3 "unmount" boxes below are checked. Using a root explorer, I can confirm that SS did "install" the roms & each slot contains a cache.img, system.img, & a userdata.img.
So, what am I doing wrong guys? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for being such a noob here, Thanks in advance!
I think I would just start over. FXZ the phone back to stock and re-root with Motofail. Make sure that you unzip the Motofail download and disable any virus checker you have. It does sound possible that the lack of busybox may be the cause of your flash failures. I can tell you for 100%, absolute, certain that Minimoto will flash on any ROM slot in Safestrap 3.0.5.
Eclipse 3.0 as you download will not install in Safestrap, but I created a Safestrap-enabled version. You can find it here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/teamhaters/210971-eclipse-v3-0-droid-3-port-11.html#post2414744
I think that the Dropbox link is still live. Let me know if it's not there...
All of the KEXEC ROMs, if I am not mistaken, have to be installed in ROM Slot 1. (I never used them, beyond just seeing what it looked like, and it's been a while since I tried.)
Get Motofail here: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/
It says it's for the D4, but it's what the D3 will be rooted with as well.
Success!!! Thank you!!! I am now up & running with all 4 slots filled, currently with Avatar, Maverick, Dark Droid, and a generic non-VZW stock. The Eclipse links were down (Dev Host) but if you still have an Eclipse for SS I would love to take a look at it. Already tried the Ubuntu Touch one too, "Phablet" or something, but couldn't get at a menu to connect to my WiFi. And, since you are so helpful... I was wondering if you could point me to some stuff to read & research. There are plenty of guys (& a few girls I'm sure too) making great ROMs but they need to be ported to different devices. So I would like to eventually learn how to port SS to different devices and ROMs to SS. It seems there are really only a few people working on that stuff and that is where the help would be needed. Working my way through the XDA University thing too. Thanks again for your help!
I'm glad you got that figured out.
