How to Uninstall SafeStrap and Install BootStrap!

Here is a GREAT Video from jp1044! Shows a great walkthrough in real life! :-D


1.) DO your backups; backup your launcher, sms, TiBu, make a nandroid (whatever you do) including your internal SD and sd-ext if you are anal retentive like me and want to make sure your goods are safe. Then upload to DropBox! (Optional) :-P

2.) Reboot and boot into SafeStrap Boot Menu. In There you must switch to the NON-SAFE SIDE and after it has done its little tid-bit you need to then Reboot your system. (Boot into your Non-Safe side like normal (STOCK)).

3.) Once in your stock system you need to open your SafeStrap App and select the "Uninstall Recovery" option. After it does its work your SafeStrap should be uninstalled. A simple reboot will prove this as it will not show the SafeStrap splash screen before System
Boot.

4.) Now you are going to be able to install BootStrap. Simply install your Bionic BootStrap App and open it. Inside you will find a similar operation.

5.)You need to simply click BootStrap Recovery and your done! Press the Reboot Recovery Button and the phone will then boot into the Bionic BootStrap.Your phone WILL NOT automatically boot into BootStrap like SafeStrap. This MUST be initiated by clicking the Reboot Recovery Button from the APP!

6.) Please remember that your SafeStrap Nandroids WILL NOT WORK IN BOOTSTRAP AND THIS WILL CAUSE UNDESIREABLE PROBLEMS!

***************************************************************************************************
Here you will find a very simple guide to follow to switch up from BS to SS!


1) Go to "Manage Apps" under system settings. The. Scroll to find Bionic BootStrap.

2) Select the BS app then select to Clear Data and then Uninstall.

3) Next is to install your SafeStrap APP! Download link at bottom of post if you don't have it.

4) Once installed you MUST select Uninstall Recovery.. This will be sure to wipe out any custom recovery files that were left behind.

5) Now give your phone a reboot to verify you don't have a custom recovery splash screen showing up.

6) If you succeed then open the SS app and select Install Recovery!

That's it your done! Good luck and happy side switchin!

Here are some Download Links for BootStrap and SafeStrap!

Due to KEXEC Support being rolled out to the Bionic if you choose to use a ROM that has KEXEC built in,
you must use a SafeStrap that supports it!
In the next post you will find information regarding KEXEC! <------- Coming Soon!

Thank you! I had separate threads up for SS and BS on rootz and rombot but i figured condensing down into one is easier.

Okay, I.ve been on leak 232 and safestrap for ages, now I'm on to bootstrap. Tried uninstalling safestrap, installing bootstrap, but when I reboot there is no recovery mode, it only got stuck on the black screen, requiring batt pull.. What happened?

You didn't actually uninstall safestrap but the installer for it. You have to disable safestrap through safestrap app before you uninstall app. Actually you can leave the app installed but just disable safestrap through app.

so what is recommended for the .246 ota? bootstrap or safestrap? personally, im partial to safestrap considering there isn't an fxz if i screwed something up and bricked. the only time i've ever bricked my bionic, it was because I flashed a safestrap only rom in bootstrap. does safestrap not hose your preinstall partition to where an fxz is necessary to get updates? i am just kind of lost at the moment in terms of what i can and can't do with this. I'm okay with stock, but there are a lot of roms that are looking great.

Kit, I installed safestrap b4.05 after going up to .246. I have created ROM slots, but I haven't flashed any ROMs yet. I had no issues

Where can I find Safestrap for JB. All of the version I find have ICS in the filename. Just rooted my Bionic running JB 4.1.2. Is Safestrap 3.11 the right one for Jelly Bean?

Yes sir. That's is still the most current version of SS. Talks of an update were spoken of. But you'll be fine with 3.11 sir

Hello! Well this how to can explain getting safestrap installed and running. Which enables the use of kexec. With that it's as simple as flashing the rom of your choice in the designated "slot". You will find many rom listings on obsidians thread if you want more rom options. Some good ones are CM, AOKP.

Hope this helps! Let me know of you need more info
