*please hold off use of safe strap until further notice. I promise you we are hard at work on it************************************************************There is a new version at the bottom of the post. Please uninstall recovery from with in your currently installed v.1 then uninstall safestrap app. Download and install v.2 and install recovery. If you already have a safe system installed you will need to reflash the zip and wipe data/factory reset. Thanks Jim for the fix! There are now 2 different versions 1 for those not running jims webtop hack and one for those of you that are. Please download the safestrap appropriate for your setup at the bottom of the page. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
What works?
-Everything except mounting usb in recovery.
-Cant seem to format safe system /data
Here it is!!! Our very own Unofficial safestrap recovery!
Whats this mean? Custom rom's!!! CM7 CM9 etc! And no more fxz or cwm on every boot just to save from a softbrick.
How'd we do it?
This was a pain in the A**, Jimbridgeman and myself have worked our butts off on this. We changed the recovery.fstab around so that we are able to use the sd card as a mount point to install the /system partition as well as a separate partition for /data. So in laymen's terms, were booting from the sd.
How to Install -(From Windows)
(Partition sizes are up to you but ext3 partition should be no less then 350mb and the second fat partition should be not less then 500mb)
1.Backup your sdcard
2.Format your sdcard from your phone under settings-storage
3.Put your sdcard into some kind of card reader and place into computer
4.Download, install, and open Mini Tool http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
5. Right click on your sd card, click resize

7.Click OK
8.Click apply changes
9.Right click on unallocated partition and select create
10. Click Yes
11.I went with 1gb, this is the data partition, It needs to be at least 500mb and your settings must match mine. Primary,Fat32
12.Click apply changes
13.Right click on unallocated space, select create
14.Click Yes
15. This is the System partition and needs to be at least 350mb, Your settings must match mine. Ext3,Primay

One noob question so the safe system is on the mobile internal memory or on the SD card? If on SD card is it fast enough not to cause performance issues?

The safe system is stored to the sd card, no real performance issues.. 5500ish in antutu running cm7 for the droid 3!
And with that strap i can remove my main stock rom not just install a 2nd rom on sd card ?
Thanks alot to you and jim and hashcode for your grest work i will make sure to press the thanks button alot when i get on my pc

I'm assuming that like with the razr if you are using the bootstrap with on boot you have to remove it before installing the safe strap version?
Thank you
I knew it was only a matter of time!!!!!!
Thank you guys
A link worth sharing http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap.html , this is the original safestrap for D3 and RAZR done by hashcode , take a look at his blog to understand more about safestrap if you are a noob like me.
but there is only one question i need to understand using this hack can we install roms on the 1st system ( device memory ) or just on the 2nd system ( SD Card ) ?
This is what I have been using instead of the bootstrap, to use my custom ROMS... it will allow you to use your paid version of CWM the way it should be used. You can now go into CWM and select boot to CWM or flash from sdcard while still in android, and it will boot you into CWM and start flashing....
Thanks for all your hard work!

So essentially, this is a dual boot system of sorts? This allows me to install a custom ROM and run it in Safe mode then go back to my factory ROM by turning off Safe mode?

Your help Is appreciated, Im pretty new to this flashing stuff so am experimenting.
Ive just flashed the djdroyd rom and the new radio succesfully.
Ive not done anything to my phone in regards to customising so am considering flashing this one.
Can you answer a few questions for me?
If I flash this will it work with the radio I have flashed from djdroyd?
If I install rom manager (i really like this programme as its easy to use) and format partition using it 512mb and 0 on the other option.. will apps2sd then work?
could someone please possibly just post a step by step guide how to install this properly?for example on a rooted stock rom 2.1 desire, unlocked unbranded that has a new micro sd card?id be very very grateful. thanks

Question about need to wipe
Hi,
one question: As I am using a rom with app2sd+ right now I would like to avoid wiping my sd partition. So what would happen, if I don´t wipe? Can I just continue using my apps like I did with other roms I have flashed in the past?
Thanks

The ModInstallLocation.apk is an aplication to force system to instal aplication on internal memory (phone) or in sd card (external), used normaly with froyo roms to force all apps to be instaled in sd and save internal storage.
But this ROM uses ext partition to install apks, then you dont need to use the default app2sd from froyo, then the better option is set instalation of the aplication to phone (ext partition), for me the clean and noproblem way
But, if you dont use an ext partition i think this apk is a "must have" then you must to set "instal external default" (fat32 partition)
Hi there,
I had original DJ droid before, Wiped all data, flashed new rom plus radio and i cannot connect to internet through mobile network, Wifi works just fine,
I check the signal strengh and is HSDPA, mobile network is on, data enabled, and network mode is GSM, WCDMA auto,
Network Three in UK
Please anyone help me get this sort, Works great before on DJ Droid, SD card was wiped and ext part installed before flashing rom
This thread is based on Firerat's work, just modded a little to be more specific for the EVO, so be sure to thank him for his work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874
I modded the script so a default of 250MB for system & 125MB for cache(leaves ~570MB for data) is included, so the mtdpartmap.txt in the SD card is not required unless you want to change those. If a mtdpartmap.txt is detected in the SD card during flash, it will overwrite those defaults values with whatever is in the mtdpartmap.txt.
For those that want to change the default values, just mod the attached mtdpartmap.txt
S-OFF is required
This is not for the faint of heart and requires how to flash using fastboot if you want to revert back to stock partition sizes, so if your not comfortable with ANY of the install & uninstall steps below, DO NOT FLASH THIS!!!
Be sure to check how much space your current ROM uses in the system & cache partitions before flashing this, so that way you don't cause problems with this MOD
Most de-odex'd ROMs should be fine with a 250MB system partition but those that are using a Desire HD/Z based ROM might need 300MB or slightly more, so be sure to double check your current system/cache usage before flashing
Also, too small of a cache partition will cause errors with some games & downloading of OTA updates as it uses the cache partition as the download folder
Install
1. Copy FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FORMAT_ALL zips(& custom mtdpartmap.txt if you want to change the default sizes) to your SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
4. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Flash FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the recovery to use the custom partition sizes)
7. Reboot into recovery again
8. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM but don't reboot
9. Flash FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the kernel to load the custom partition sizes)
10. Reboot
NOTE
Everytime you flash a new ROM or kernel, you must flash the FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip afterwards, so the kernel gets modded to load the custom partition sizes
Uninstall
1. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
2. Boot into Bootloader and select Fastboot USB
3. Reflash custom recovery console using Fastboot
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM, if the restore contains a kernel that has modded partition sizes, then reflash the kernel
7. Reboot
Examples
Default 250/125 settings leaves this much on wipe

No real advantages besides that you regain all the lost space from the cache & system partitions

What recovery is the custom recovery based on?
EDIT
NM: Reading comprehension problems. Now I see that it patches the recovery. My other question is do you guys think resizing and creating a swap partition would be beneficial? I already have a lot of free space on /data after moving dalvik-cache to /cache.
Thanks Calk.
Just flashed this, nand restored, and I have 100+ mb available.
Edit: I have about 100mb MORE available than before making this mod on the same ROM/kernel combination.

Hey. Just wanted to mention one thing. You don't need to format your SD Card to get it to work. All you need is to put the DLOAD folder with the UPDATE.APP in it. You can have other data on the sd card as well and it still works. People end up formatting their sd cards when most of them are already fat32, at least the main partition, so maybe you should edit that step?

Download the zip file wich is for your Android version, htc_one_sv_fstab_JB.zip for JB or htc_one_sv_fstab_ICS.zip for ICS from attachment and flash it in recovery.
If you wanna go back, flash the htc_one_sv_fstab_orig_JB.zip for JB or the htc_one_sv_fstab_orig_JB.zip for ICS in recovery.
We do not need to be S-OFF , do we??
Thanks
S-OFF is not needed. Maybe the russian kernel but you can try it first without.
is the data gonna be moved to the new location automagicly?
Mine was empty, so i can not say. I copied all to my PC to get sure to keep all data.

I looked into the zip and it probably wont do that.
Code:
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard0/ext_sd emmc /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host
thats whats in there.
so probably the way to go, i think, is to copy all the stuff from /storage/sdcard0 to /storage/sdcard0/ext_sd before flashing.
Or copy to pc and back afterwards.
Hi.
I translated this tuto on a french forum, and someone tried it with ICS, it's possible that it doesn't work... Anyone still on ICS here who could try it ?
On JB, no problem though.

He pm'ed me also, but as almost all people are on jb meanwhile, i don't think that there will be someone searching for a solution on ics.
And also as you know this mod is from another forum where it was downloaded. many times. I think, if it were faulty they had removed it.
swap
Hi, can it be done in stock recovery? i dont want to unlock or root it...
No.
Will this work on Boost mobile version running jb?

You can try. Stock files are the same.
Backup everything.
But i would change them manually, cause i don't know, if it flashes on the right partition for boost.
Edit:
Should also be flashable for you.
I'm a little scared I might brick my new jb install ..I should get the new working cwm installed first.

If you don't wanna flash:
First backup your data. Then you can copy the modded vold.fstab to a folder above and set the correct permission like the stock file has. Now copy it, go into the etc folder, rename the old file to vold.fstab.bak and copy immediately the modded one into the etc folder.
Then reboot and see whats happened.
Memory
Is it possible to repartition internal and external memory? I mean join external memory with internal and make sdcard as external memory?
Yep, just read what's after "if you wanna go back" in the 1st post.
two-way recording

Sorry, could you be more explicit ?

He wants a feature that must be activated in kernel (short version).
So he needs someone who can build kernels....
hello guys hope you all are fine.
I am on stock ROM but my phone is rooted and I have made a ext partition of my memory card and using it with link2sd and I am going to install cm9 build 14 on my phone.You will need this information to answer my questions.
I have some questions in my mind so please help me.
1.in cm9 thread there's written that "Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery".I thinks so I am using yannou90 recovery so will I able to flash this rom or first I have to install this recovery from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168725 ?
2.i am little bit confused between these 4 memory scripts (D2EXT+,INTEXT+,Mounts2sd,ungaze) or you can suggest me any better memory script and please include the link of the script.
please answer my questions I am a complete noob.
This is my first post so If i have posted in wrong section please move it to right section
Thanks in advance.
You've nailed the section, congrats
Now jokes asaid, your recovery is perfectly fine to flash whichever rom you wan't, the warnning is there for another reason, way back (1.5 years or something) there was some not succesfull attemppts with cwm(original one, not the one that you have)...... so don't worry, just follow instructions.
Now about your second question, I personnaly prefer mounts2sd becouse it has more options, the other scripts that you mentioned don't have this much options, but on the other hand, they are simpler to use and won't give you headakes if you play with them(mostly becouse you just can't). Also in my signature is really good explenation about memory scripts, check it out if you have some time
three more question.I saw a video on YouTube of installing cm9 in pico.He also wiped his cache partition so is it compulsory to do this? and the second is will i lose all my apps and ext partition after installing cm9 and the third question i have 1.5 gb of ext partition how can I extend it to 2gb.

Hey, Let me try to answer your queries.
1. Its better to wipe your cache partition. I dont know if its "necessary" or not but i always prefer to wipe it and have a clean flash of rom.
2. Start using Titanium Backup app. It will backup your apps+data to a particular folder in memory card. copy that folder in PC, after u r done with flashing just install titanium backup again and put the copied folder back in memory card. You wont lose your apps.
3. to expand 1.5 gb, use "ease us partition manager". its very user friendly. simply remove 500 mb from ur fat32 card and merge it with 1.5gb partition with correct extension.

I have already made the backup of my apps don't need their data.as i already mention that i am using link2sd on my stock rom so I also want to clean my ext partition how will I do this? should I also wipe dalvik cache? I have also made a nandroid backup of my pico.
I have to DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET before flashing cm9 or after flashing cm9
Check out this video.. click here
and in the instruction there's said " DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)" I have to do this after flashing rom and gapps right?
No u have to do it before
BEFORE flashing roms you should wipe EVERYTHING! After that, it's just not needed.
All set I have flashed cm9 build 14 in my pico thanks all for guiding me,Now I want to use mounts2sd script and there's written no app should be installed before flashing mount2sd,I was setting up my WiFi.My phone automatically updated the google play store to 4.x.x and also installed google play store services so what should I do now first uninstall the update and google play store services and then flash the mounts2sd or just flash mounts2sd without uninstalling anything?
Small suggestion
why don't you try DroidSail Super App2SD Lite to move apps from Phone to SD it Pops a Notification whenever a new App is Installed here the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5kcm9pZHNhaWwuZHNhcHAyc2QiXQ..:good:

Flash it without uninstalling anything. But I'd recommend the play store version of mounts2sd which has a GUI

I can't view the image but the play store version is the same app and can be updated like any other app. Flashable version must be configured from terminal as it doesn't include a GUI
It should, if it doesn't you can always flash the other version, personally I haven't tryed it with cm 9(playstore mounts2sd I mean), but there should be no issues. Just if you have 'android is upgrading' after every boot (not the first) you can try setting, 'sd-ext type' to 'automatic' also you can dissable 'safemode' drom playstore app, but do that only if you have issues, if not this things are useles s
@ Sachin damn you're fast
