After months of kicking myself for upgrading the software to 183.46.15 from 183.46.10, I finally achieved root thanks to the Hydrogen Peroxide root tool. After attempting many different Safestrap apks, I can't get any of them to work. I found a different recovery that will boot but it's basically a poor version of CWM recovery that doesn't allow for ROM slots. I know that the phone isn't the issue with lack of booting into Safestrap, it's the Safestrap apps that aren't compatible with my phone's current version. Since goo.im isn't up and I can't find a mirror, does anyone have a Safestrap apk that does work with a rooted 183.46.15?
Safestrap development stopped at JellyBean so nothing available for KitKat
Is there any recovery which isn't bootstrapped for .15 firmware .... I am using stock cwm but it won't unless i click reboot to recovery... So it's kinda risky to flash anything.... Also backup works but this bootstrap function is a problwm how can i get rid of that....

That would be nice if there is safestrap for 183.46.15. But unfortunately its not there yet :crying:
this is safestrap source code, maybe someone has to take hands on it to make it work with the xt926
BTW, there is a "motorola-ghost" branch, as you know, Razr HD 3.4 kernel has "almost" the same Moto X kernel on 4.4.2.. nobody tried/searched for moto x safetrap and tested on the xt926?? maybe works, maybe not, try it at your own risk

All,
I have just bought a 'new to me' Rogers HTC One X. It already had JB 4.1.1 installed.
I managed to unlock the bootloader via htcdev without issue and managed to flash TWRP 2.3.3 installed via Hasoon2000's tool however it is unusable because the touchscreen doesn't work within it. Is there a work around for this?
I also cannot root the device through the various one-click approaches listed here.
Any help you can offer on rooting it and getting a recovery manager working would be appreciated.
If you need any details from me (various version numbers, etc.) please let me know. I've been out of the Android world for a while so you may need to tell me where to look.
Cheers!
SOLVED
In case others run into this I was able to flash TWRP 2.4.0.0 to the device - touch screen within recovery now works. Once that was done everything was gold: Flashed SU, Viper, and the Viper boot loop fix.
As you have found, root using one-clicks or Hasoon2000's toolkit is not needed on any version except the AT&T variant.
For all other variants (besides AT&T) just unlock bootloader, install TWRP, and flash SU or a rooted ROM.
The problem was the version of TWRP it pushed. I could never flash anything until I updated it so touch worked again.

I have been trying to get my phone to update following the directions for the past year almost and have had no luck.
EDIT*: I am trying to do the OTA update that i am being prompted to do (9.16.6)
I am on:
Android Version 4.1.1
System Verison 9.1.41XT926
Bootloader: unlocked
Safestrap
I am trying to get to Android 4.3 but when I go to voodoo OTA rootkeeper and temp unroot then download and try and install the update my phone reboots like its starting the install but then shows the android the with the ! coming out of him then it restarts and upon restart it tells me that the update failed.
What am I doing wrong and how can I get these updates to work!
Thanks,
Tyler Hegamyer
There isn't an official 4.3. And if your trying to flash a custom 4.3 you need to be unlocked running a custom recovery.

i would suggest abandoning ss unless the rom you want is only supported through ss (rare but possible).
i would:
-disable ss
-use the 1.33 utility in the dev forum to update and return to the latest stock
-use the same utility to root
-use the same utility to flash a custom recovery
--boot into recovery and witpe data/cache/"data-media(cwm recovery specific)" to be sure everything is gone
-choose the rom of your chice from the dev forum and flash in recovery as directed by the rom's dev.
Don't use safe strap. Delete the partion and uninstall it. Use cwm or twrp. And might want to change the title then your not accepting a ota your flashing a custom rom.

I'm also having some troubles. Trying to apply the new update (rooted with stock 4.1.2) keeps resulting in "signature verification failed" in CWM. I have to then wipe the cache so it doesn't keep trying to reboot and apply the update. I've also tried unfreezing all the bloat in TitaniumBackup but got the same results.
Does anyone know a solution for this?
EDIT: I've also tried running OTA rootkeeper app and it still failed.

the ota will not work through a custom recovery such as cwm, you need to put the stock recovery back on.
I am perplexed:
I had previously installed many custom roms after updating to stock kitkat, including CM 11. However, I am not able instally cyanogenmod, AT ALL. I have gone through all the steps and all the recoveries, CWM & TWRP all versions. After the installation, the phone hangs on the boot logo, always.
Any clue would be appreciated. Thank you.
U sure u flashed/fastbooted the recommended kernel correctly and did a full wipe before installing the Rom?

I highly doubt you installed CM11 with the KitKat kernel installed. It won't work. The only way it would work is to FXZ back to JB and then install the previous version of CWM or TWRP.
Currently, there are no ROMs working with the KitKat versions of CM11 or TWRP, although dhacker is working on a new CM11 using the latest KK kernel for the RAZR HD phones and the developer for the Nexesque ROM is also working on an updated version that uses the KitKat kernel as well.

It was very strange situation. I ended up getting CM to work by using CWM 6.0.4.4. FMI (for my information), I need to use CWM 6.0.4.4 will be needed to install custom roms.
Thanks for the advice..
Please I have a MOTOROLA DROID RAZR MAXX HD with kk Bootloader unlocked n rooted, stock 4.4.2 ROM and system version 183.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US. Whenever I install any kinda custom ROM (cm11&12, Liquid smooth kk n lp, Resurrect lp) it installs successfully but when it reboots after the flashing process, it gets stuck on the boot screen after the M logo. This happens to all the custom ROMs I have ever flashed. Please what am I not getting right here? Although it came with Mokee ROM when I bought it and I changed it to cm12 which worked well until I changed it back to stock kk and when I later wanted to return to the cm12 that was when the problem started. Pls help me. I use TWRP v2.6 recovery. Thanx in advance...
1. Flash the latest recovery, http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=42955#files
2. Clean flash (know what this means before you attempt to install a new rom) the rom (CM 12.1, not 12, I presume) you would like to install from your SD card. http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/xt926/
3. GAPPS can be found here: http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=27426#files
I had to clean flash CM11 before flashing CM12 to get it up and running. Good luck.
Thanx very much. Pls do u mean I should flash cm11 first before upgrading to 12.1? I just downgraded my system version from .15 to .10 and I tried the ROMs, only unified cm11 SNAPSHOT build worked. Others only got stuck at the boot animation. Any further help pls?

1. Revert back to stock KK entirely. Easiest way would be to download the RAZR HD Utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474393
2. Flash TWRP 2860. Then wipe everything except sd card. Reboot into recovery again.
3. Flash latest cm12.1 from sd card
Works for me.

I wanted to flash a recovery on motorola droid maxx running kitkat 4.4.4. Since the bootloader is locked, i think, only Safestrap can work... the phone is rooted, but since its on kitkat, my guess in safestrap 3.65 WONT work on it... I had downloaded the safestrap apk but on clicking install recovery, the process was completed but nothing was installed, I guessed that it was due to absence of busybox, now can anyone help me installing busybox AND safestrap on this device??
