How To Install Safestrap Recovery on the Motorola Droid Razr

Safestrap recovery is similar to Bootstrap recovery but it is designed to be a safer alternative. The recovery is “safer” because you actually create a second system partition on your Razr and all of the files on your primary system partition are not actually modified. You can still flash any ROM of choice but you have an safety net in case things go wrong. You can also boot into recovery from your initial boot screen so if you find yourself stuck in a boot loop…don’t worry.
