i get a black screen now on reboot. i followed install instructions.


EDIT: Had to disable safestrap in recovery to reboot the phone back up.

EDIT: Im a little lost here. I never used safestarp before so its new to me. I did all the steps and had to disable safestrap because i was stuck in recovery and the phone woould not reboot. what did i do wrong here ?

[rooteduser]

wasnt plugged in. busybox i dont think i had that installed

[idelgado782]

I had this issue too. Download and install Busybox from Play and rerun the recovery install.

thank you so much for replying and providing me with the answer! That was exactly what the problem was. I went to the market installed buysbox, went into the app and hit install. Installed safestrap and immediately saw that recovery was installing as it should. I reboot my phone and the safestrap option came up!!! I appreciate the quick response!

oh ok cool! so how do i go back to my safe system and restore stock?

Do I just restore the back up that was made when switching to safe system? There is a safe file in the restore option but not sure

did you flash a rom after you enable safe system ? if not ? and you boot up with safe system enabled you get a black screen cuz you have nothing to boot into.

Understood! lol I'm new to using SafeStrap my self i have always been so used to using BootStrap. I'm still learning my self. But I'm not a noob to rooting and flashing so SafeStrap instruction come fairly easy for me ? lol

[rooteduser]

ya i know how to flash and all that to this setup just seems a little confusing.

Yes it is a few more steps and i bit more time consuming than BootStrap. But a hell of alot safer! If you flash something bad and screw up something. you can just disable safe system and boot right back into your non-safe side.And have a working phone that quick.

Do you happen to know where I flash my stock ota? Is it just in restore? In the restore option there is a file called safe that I could do but I'm not sure if that's it

So just disable safe system and restore the backup? When you first enable safe system does it make a backup of your stock?

Actually yes it does. The backup is always a good idea though as many people like to run two separate ROMs ..one flashed on safe, the other on unsafe. The real idea here is when you flash you always have a way back...most cases that is.

cool thanks! shoot when trying to disable safe system i get this (error while making a backup image of /data!) and still saying that safe system is enabled. any ideas about that?

Couple questions: first, my "safe system" is stock 211 and my custom ROM is KOA. How do I boot into stock instead of custom? And secondly, is there a way to wipe out the custom ROM and go back to stock or will I have to fastboot/unbrick?
