Is it possible to load any custom rom on my bell phone and just revert back if I needed to turn my phone in?

Also what is the most stable rom out there and does everything major in ics work?
Sent from my XT860 using XDA
There is the bell fastboot files available, so if needed you can just fastboot flash back to stock
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
okay, and if I dual boot ics and stock what does safemode do? like is it actually installed and use it as a daily driver? if i dual boot do my texts come in on ics and data works and everything? haha sorry for asll the questions. but i really hate screwing up my phone. i did that wih my atrix alot
That's the idea of safestrap. I think I've described it a dozen times so read up and download it URL="http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/"]here[/URL].
TL;DR - you flash to a temporary /system and can go back to stock whenever.
EDIT: Read your last post. Safestrap allows you to flash a rom without touching your current system. Your flashed rom will become your DD as it's sort of a pain to switch over. The idea is to keep a stock rom intact so you can receive OTAs and such
Ahh. I installed safe strap and its pretty cool. Is there a fix for cm9 on calling? The speaker doesn't work

This was made using the same method used to make a Droid Razr ROM, except on the Droid 4, so it should theoretically work.
This ROM is pre-rooted
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT IS UN-TESTED AS I DO NOT OWN A DROID 4 (yet).

Would like to try but untested means TROUBLE and from what I am reading it would seem way to easy find TROUBLE with tested roms so untested is suicide. Thanks but please report back when tested.
Hell Ill try it out and report back

You could also try my Motoblur LT ROM posted a bit further down. I have tested it, and it works well for me, plus it is very highly debloated.

Did you make sure to clear data and cache after enabling safe mode?
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
tried that, same effect. weird thing is when I tried to restore my backup it didn't boot at all till I toggled safemode off.
I suspect a bad download. Try redownloading the file. Make sure after toggling Safe system ON, you clear EVERYTHING and then flash.

Will this rom work through clockworkmod recovery? It doesn't say it's exclusive to safestrap in the title and I know another user looking to edit his non-safe system via CWM recovery.
In theory, it would, but it is not a theory I recommend you test! We have no way to recover this phone if it bricks, so please, put on safestrap and use the stock prerooted for safestrap!! (Or, if you want it debloated, check out my Motoblur LT rom, also for safestrap)
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
I wouldn't dare leave my precious safestrap, this is for someone else. Thank you for the response though!
Sent from my DROID4 using Carrier Pigeons
Just keep in mind that although safestrap is based on cwm, it is not exactly the same. If the install script has even one command that is different, it could be enough to brick since you are installing on a non-safe system with no fastboot files available. Please tell this "someone else" that we wish them luck, but using this rom with cwm directly is NOT tested, and likely VERY risky, and we do not want them to brick their phone, and won't risk giving any guaranteed directions, we are much more certain of it working correctly with safestrap and are not particularly comfortable saying it would work with cwm, all theory aside.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
Right, I'll express the uncertainty of the situation. I'll hit up Hashcode and see how difficult it would be to make one soley designed for CWM. Doesn't hurt to have the ROM, people will always be risky so why stop them?
Sent from my DROID4 using Carrier Pigeons
Lol, true enough! Good luck.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
He said the data was a little buggy and it lagged, but I don't know all the minor details of what he did (wipe data/cache/etc) but this rom DID work in CWMrecovery.

Good to know, thanks for reporting back. I'm glad he didn't brick!

Did you make sure you were using a Safestrap compatible version? Remember a safestrap rom is different than a regular rom.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
i just took the D3 version of it that i was running on my d3 and flashed it. didnt boot though.
Can you give me a link to the thread where you downloaded the rom you are flashing?

If you read the first post, it explicity says "cwm only". It is not a safestrap rom. Also, liberty is based on the Droid 3 stock rom. If you want to port it, here are the first steps:
1. Get an updated Safestrap rom that incorporates the lates Motorola patch. (We will want the performance and battery boost it gives the d4)
2. DeOdex the ROM from step 1.
3. Prepare a sort of blank slate to start with, by ripping out everything not necessary.
At this point, we can start adding the Liberty customizations.

when i had the D3 i was flashing it with safestrap no problem,
lol i dont have the capability to port this over, i was hoping for someone else to try. or even make an AOSP/de blured GB rom out of the D4

I am in the process of doing this. I am currently trying to work with Hashcode to try to put together a Safestrap version of the D4 stock ROM with the latest OTA patch. I'm going to try to deodex and deblur it.

Is it your motoblur LT deodexed? If so that is what I have been waiting for. I love gummy but would go full stock if I could change some or the icons safely. like the green battery icon. It just looks retarded with the blue 3g, 4g and wifi icons. If I knew how to deodex a rom I would attempt it myself, are there any instructions available for doing this ones self? Thanks for what you have done and are attempting.

Unfortunately, it is not yet deodexed. I just spent the last 3 hours trying to, and the resulting update.zip looks fine, but it won't boot. For now, though, it is very debloated and slightly deblured.

Are you sure you need deodex? I used ROM Toolbox to change battery icon on stock Razr ROM.

Should work the same as the S4 MF update that locked down the bootloader. You should be able to root but as for custom roms and CWM/TWRP we're out of luck.
Coming from a S4 running CM10.2 I'm not going to like using the standard rom but will get used to it I guess.
So even with the bootlegged locked we should be able to tour so we can use TB to backup and restore?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 4
I have a locked MF3 firmware S4 and I'm running 3 different ROMs that are hot swappable thanks to Safestrap developed my Hashcode so even with a locked bootloader you can do something. Only thing is for now we are limited to internal storage for the ROM slots can't create them on external SD card but Hashcode has been working on that. Also we can only flash TW ROMs since we can't flash a custom kernel but that is also being worked on, I believe they want to be able flash a kernel with kexec. I have an AT&T S4 and currently swapping between an international Foxhound ROM, Google Play ROM, and well the stock ROM.

Even tho I don't have any phone that has a bootloader. (i don't live in the USA Neither)
But if your Bootloader is locked you cannot Flash CWM or TWRP or flash custom roms (Because they need CWM or TWRP).
Sorry if I'm wrong. I don't have any phone with locked bootloader. Hope this helps.

Ditto... which is why I am returning my AT&T Note 3 less than 24 hrs after I purchased it.
My fault for not researching the bootlocker issue, but no way am I going to give up Titanium Backup. It has saved my tail more than once.
I'm also coming from an att S4. There has not been a bootloader unlock exploit but they do have some work around exploits like loki & safestrape. Loki is out bc they've already patched that so at this point I just hope we get root bc without that you don't have a fighting chance at custom roms

All I want to do is remove the AT&T bloat as well as the Samsung bloat. When I took my stock Note 2 and installed Cleanrom on it it felt like the phone got a cpu boost. Everything was smoother and faster.
With root, can we uninstall crap that is blocked from being removed while stock? I can live with a locked bootloader if I can just get as close to a stripped rom as possible. I'm pretty new to this stuff so forgive the newbie question.

Well, then. That's better than I got on my Bionic. CyanFox, CM11, or SlimKat(current) would not even breathe on slot 1.
Any other slot, and I was golden.
Yep, test, play, tweak, or wreck.....blow that slot up and go at it again.

Its good to see people still flashing custom ROMs on their bionics. I still have my bionic and its going as strong as ever. My son uses it and he loves it.
I installed Slimkat and I can't get past the loading screen. It just keeps flashing the Slimkat logo over and over indefinitely.
Alright, I fixed the problem. I made the mistake of using the old bootstrap to install Slimkat, so I wound up with a bricked device. Even the recovery was wiped out so I thought I was screwed. I did some digging and figured it out over the course of a few hours...
I downloaded the latest firmware for the Bionic and tried installing them in the command line while the phone was in fastboot. The img files supposedly loaded successfully, but I still couldn't get into recovery to finalize the system installation. Luckily I discovered RSD 5.6. It worked except there were a few problems in the xml file within the firmware, so I had to take out both lines that had "oem" in them to get it to finish.
After that my Bionic was brought back to factory stock condition. I rooted using the Safe Root command line tool, installed Safestrap 3.73, and flashed Slimkat. It worked great!
If you're having similar issues and I didn't give enough info just let me know and I'll try to help.
