Unrooted, but forgot to uninstall/remove SafeStrap Recovery. - Motorola Droid RAZR

I want to fully unroot my Droid Razr, and thought I was fine, but the Recovery splash screen continues to show up. I did a factory reset...still showing. I tried to reinstall Safestrap 3.11, but it force closes before it can do anything.
Can I get some help from you guys? Please?

You need to root again, install the apk, uninstall recovery, uninstall the apk, then unroot once again

Bump for help. I am no unrooted, and I don't have any worries about losing data or anything. I just want to get the phone up to Jelly Bean.

Root has nothing to do with this. A fastboot flash overwrites everything on the phone and starts fresh. You can root after you flash using razr_blade or Matt's 1.90 utility. The .16 OTA has a root path already.

Awesome. I just need to read up about fastboot flashing.

RSD Lite didn't work for me, but Matt's Razr app worked like a charm!

He bricked his Device, in case that he wanna downgrade.

Clockworkmod vs Bootstrap vs Safestrap etc

Few questions. I upgraded my phone in the last couple of months from the HTC Incredible to the Droid Razr Maxx. I had a great experience with rooting my DInc and using Clockworkmod along with Rom Manager to to flash CM7 nightlies and so forth.
Anyway, now that I'm using a Razr it seems like a lot of the forums I've been searching in don't use Clockworkmod but other recovery utilities such as Bootstrap and Safestrap to name a couple. One of my questions is...does it really matter what recovery I use to flash a particular Rom? Why is one recommended over another?
In the last week I wanted to try flashing Eclipse on my Razr using Clockworkmod but a guy in another forum mentioned and recommended using a different recovery. Can one recovery be more stable than another? I'm somewhat tech savvy but definitely not to the degree of so many great developers I lean on in this site. Thanks again by the way!
If you use an XT912 you have to use Safestrap (2.0 if you're on ICS)
If you got an XT910 you can't use the regular Safestrap. Instead you have to use Bootstrap (ClockWorkMod)
Best way to flash on XT910 is the Boot Menu Manager (based on ClockWorkMod with an lot of features)
XT910 = Bootstrap / BootMenu
XT912 = Safestrap
That's all

I have XT912 and have clockworkmod on there already. Should i remove it and put safestrap on there instead? Is it bad to have 2 recoveries on there?

Cant you use bootmenu for XT912 as well?

Many Roms for the XT912 tell in the instructions to use Safestrap.
You can't use both of them, so you should uninstall Bootstrap and get Safestrap running.
Uninstall Bootstrap isn't just uninstall the App through the Drawer. You have to delete some files manually and so on.
Search xda for how to uninstall Bootstrap and you will find an way. I've never tried to uninstall it without flashing an Fastboot through RSD (for me the easiest solution).

No. You need to uninstall Bootstrap and then install SafeStrap.
I got the RAZR Maxx CDMA Verizon Wireless. Which recovery do I use and how do I install it?
I use to have a GS2 so I'm use to using clockworkmod.

This is a QA thread and should be moved to QA. There is no dev going on.
Thanks
Fwiw - I'm using bootstrap on my razr Maxx with no problems. Btw, I'm on Verizon CDMA.
And, in my opinion, I see no reason to use rom manager since everything in it either needs cwm (which says it isn't supported) or premium acct. I do use rom toolbox for some changes, but not much. Bootstrap gets me into a recovery so I can do backups and recovery. Backup apps via titanium backup for best coverage, imo.
Is that wrong? I I figure if it works, don't fix it. Lol

Ok - I'm going to amend my previous post. I've since updated to JB this month, and haven't put Bootstrap or Safestrap back on yet. Right before I updated to JB, though, I noticed I couldn't restore my nand backup throught BS though. Did some digging around online, and found this was a common problem. No matter what I tried, it was unsuccessful. Oh well, there went that process.
However, I've never been a fan SafeStrap (or dual booting in general). I'm hesistant to install SS because I don't understand how it works (compared to BStrap). I'm already at the point where my system ROM (stock) has a mere 2kB left of free space. Don't ask how that happened, I don't know. And I wish there were more, honestly.
So if I install SafeStrap - what about my storage issues? Where does slot 0, slot 1, slot 2 reside? Are they on the system ROM partition? Or stored on the SD Card? Or in built in memory? See attached for amount of space available... you can see why I'm concerned about space availability!
Personally, I think Safestrap is superior and it has saved my phone on numerous occasions. I'm not sure how similar the underlying processes are, but dual booting my phone is similar to dual booting my computer. Safestrap is phenomenal because it boots before either rom does, so if there is an issue with one installation, then you can reinstall it from a backup, etc. The latest Safestrap is based off of TWRP I believe. The system works very well, has a lot of features and supports touch.
As far as your problem booting your custom ROM is concerned (if I read your post correctly), it may be because when you updated to JB, your kernel was updated as well, so you can only use ROMs compatible with your current kernel.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I don't have a custom ROM though. I'm still stock, rooted.

You can install CWM but 98% of the ROMs for the Razr are all Safestrap based. You would basically be putting yourself on an island with a few dudes and little food

3) Download OTA RootKeeper app from the Play Store. (or using option 3 in RazrUtility)
4) Open OTA RootKeeper and select "Restore Root". Then select "Temp. un-root". Then, once again, select "Restore Root", then select Temp Unroot.
5) Power into Recovery mode. Once you see the android with the red triangle, hold vol. up and vol. down buttons.
6) Select "apply update from SD Card">"Choose .zip from SD card"
7) Select the "Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip " file and wait for it to finish. (This will take about 15 min).
8) Power on your Razr and open the OTA RootKeeper app.

Well searching and following instructions go a long way. There are multiple threads with instructions on how to update. I know because I wrote one. First step is to fastboot back to stock 211 (assuming you're on 211 now.) That will get rid of safestrap.

Why not just flash the JB Kernel and an JB Custom Rom. In that case you can roll back to tge ICS Kernel and don't get in any kind of trouble with Root.

Oh you mean an actual OTA Update? After the accidental OTA, Moto supposedly said that it would be a few weeks before they push an ACTUAL release via OTA. So, with that said, according to Moto we should get an OTA before January is over with.
Thank you! I couldn't remember the letters ota for nothing! That's what I was really asking. Thank you for the information.
