Mods please move this to where you see fit. But I didn't want to post this at the bottom of the kexec safe strap thread to get lost. Simply put do not turn off the device while plugged into a wall charger. When you do attempt to boot even if its on safe side it will attempt to boot your unsafe ROM. This causes a boot loop on unsafe side and after a forced power cycle booting into safe with corrupt data. If you happen to do this you will require a data wipe or possibly just restore. I have already reported to hash code so I'm sure it will be addressed. Just thought I would let everyone know.

Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately I found out about this one the hard way. Ending up fastbooting 211, upgrading to 215 leak, then flashing your rom on my safe side. At least I have a clean slate now! For the mean time, I'm using Safestrap 2.0

This happened to me too. Had to reflash my safe side.

That would explain why I woke up to a boot loop this morning.

Thanks for posting this.

This is where I would tell you which ROM I'm running, but I probably just flashed something else.

I found this out the hard way as well :( didn't get to update my apps with TiBu.

Phone went dead, went to charge, tuned on, and it booted with my stock bootani. I was like 0_0, then i went to try and restart.

No dice. I had to restart :'(

Did anyone notice if it was reliant on being plugged into an ac charger or a usb charger? I could swear the first day I had 2.01 I was able to reboot plugged into my laptop but then when I plugged into the wall it did the boot loop. Can anyone else confirm?

I was usb-wall earlier today & when I saw stock boot anim I immed forced reboot, w/power & vol down, it then went into safe & to be sure did restore of a nand I had just made, no probs since…

so nand restore (full) seems to do the trick.

Good to know that tis is what it was.. My phone was dead I plugged it in and when it tried booting it boot looped my non safe side and couldn't get into safestrap. So I had to start over and decided to load SS 2.0 no issues after..

coltrane,

I didn't add something else, to make my commets brief,
but after forced reboot, I did get back to my Maxx booting to safe side;
but…

it flashed a msg that android was updating / installing (forgot which) the os & proceeded to update / install about 160 files!

You didn't get that Coltrane?

That more than likely has something to do with your dalvik cache. Anytime you delete it you'll get that message as it rebuilds the cache. Not sure what happened with yours but I'm guessing that's what it was doing.

robocuff, thanks so much, I always wondered what dalvik cache was for -
now I'd like to understand what happened & I'll better understand for the future…

if the crash-effect of robooting while plugged into the wall on SS 2.01 caused this, how, based on the circumstances, did dalvik cache get deleted & seemingly only in part, b/c the real update to 211 gave >300 files being installed msg after rebooting

I recommend sticking with 2.0 for now due to this bug.

I'm really glad I've been to busy to mess with things on my Razr so i hadn't even updated SS yet.

I've rebooted my phone a couple of times since the SS update has been out while my phone was in the car dock & one the times was when i was out working in the field on my way to a customer so i would have been totally screwed.

Thanks for the heads up about this.
