I am on latest system version 183.46.15.XT926, with locked bootloader. I have rooted my phone using Hydrogen Peroxide method. Can i install Safestrap? I heard its recovery for locked bootloader. Will it be safe installing Safestrap and installing custom rom? I want to install Safestrap v3.75 and CyanogenMod 12.
SS was last updated for Jelly Bean, so it won't work on KK. Even if it did, CM probably wouldn't work because it's not designed for SS. You can't just run any ROM on SS, it needs to be altered slightly to work with SS.

I was running alliance rom TW 4.3 with my gs3 which was rooted and still had an unlocked bootloader and flashed a 4.4 rom. I didnt like that rom so I restored my alliance back I had made but when it finished loading and booting up it had said I lost root. How can I get back to root while being on the alliance 4.3 rom. someone told me to use safestrap which I did and it worked but now I have been told that I can't run any AOSP roms anymore. Is this true? What should I do? I don't want to jack up my phone.

You shouldn't of used safestrap, thats only for locked bootloaders. I remember you from the other thread I commented in. Try saferoot
I was on the 9.30 OTA and installed the KK ota via @SamuriHL method.... I rooted and unlocked the bootloader.
Next I installed CWM for KK and tried installing Mokee @Ryuinferno. Now I am in a bootloop. What could have gone wrong?

Nope didnt work. Should I have downgraded to JB and done this? I am not sure about that though as the ROM is KK

The ROM is KK but it was not designed for the latest boot loader version, I think. The only custom rom that will work with the most recent OTA boot loader are dhacker's test builds
You have to either downgrade the boot loader, use one of the test builds or revert to stock system.

i did something very similiar. from what i understand (which isnt muchLOL). but Dhacker29 told me that once you upgrade you have to use the new kitkat bootloader. and the new bootloader only works with roms that have upgraded kernels 3.5 or higher(i think) so right at this momoent there are next to no roms but you can either use stock and modify it yourself or you can give Dhackers test build which isnt bad it has a few bugs but all the hardware works so far and my RAZR HD is playing games it couldnt touch before at all. here give this a try( oh turn off touch sounds to get rid of that anoying popping/cracking sound) i started this thread after having the same issues LMAO in it u will find links to the test rom . hope this helps

I have a rooted and unlocked RAZR HD running CM11, and I'm having trouble installing updates. The update manager will
FInd new updates (snapshots and nightlies)
Download updates
Reboot into recovery
Try to install the update
before failing. TWRP says that the update file needs a 4.4 bootloader, so I presume that my version of TWRP is out of date. Is there a 4.4 bootloader for the RAZR HD, and if so how can I install it over TWRP?
Thanks in advance,
John

you can flash the kitkat stock rom, not the latest using rsd light, root and flash the recovery again. you must be unlocked im assuming so it will be safe for you.
Want to update a family members phone to 4.4.2. Has Verizon S3 with 4.3, baseband i535vrlf2, currently running cleanrom 8 core edition. Looking for a 4.4.2 stock based rom that will work with the unlocked bootloader, everything I can find requires it to be locked.

Doesn't exist because it will not boot without matching firmware and kernel. We're "limited" to custom 4.3 and older Touchwiz roms and AOSP.

Thanks. One question, If you upgrade and relock the bootloader, your only losing the option to install custom kernels unless you use a safestrap rom correct? Should still be able to root the phone with towel root or install a prerooted rom?

You lose access to everything in my previous post. Once upgraded to VRUDNE1 OTA, you cannot downgrade for any reason if you dislike how the phone performs. There is no downgrading to older roms or OTAs, you can only Safestrap flash another VRUDNE1 rom that's it. Doing anything else will brick the phone.
Yes, Towelroot will still root the phone regardless of the software OTA on our phone.

For folks stuck in 4.3 using safestrap could they use flashfire to flash a lollipop ROM since it doesn't user recovery or bootloader?

If your on the OTA to 4.3 no it will not work. I wouldn't even attempt to try it
It's similar to mobile odin. It looks like it works but I wouldn't try it without an unlocked bootloader. Unless of course you want to brick your device
