Root [Verizon] twrp

What does safe strap really mean/do. I rooted my bionic but only for TBpro. Didn't want not roms. Probably don't for N3. But would like TBpro to work

TB works with root only, so you can use it now as long as you rooted your N3. Safe Strap is the other option we can use for installing ROMS. It creates additional 'Slots' in the internal memory, where you can load custom ROMs. When your phone boots up, you have the option to choose which ROM slot you want the phone to boot up with. That's the dumbed down version of what it actually does, it's the only version I understand....lol. It's not ideal, but in the case of the Bionic and now the N3, it may be the only option. SS worked really good on the Bionic and I'd expect the same with the N3.

Still debating on rooting my N3. If I could just have success in getting my subway surfer save from my bionic to the N3 I might live without it. But every attempt without root is failing
