Have you tried using chkdsk in Windows to check for errors on the card?

I have not but i did back it up and format it. II also tried 2 other cards witb the same error so I dont thinkit is the card.

[pmassey31545]

MD5 errors mean that the checksum generated after your backup doesn't match the checksum on your backup file - the backup can't be restored afaik…

I understand there is an error but there is no reason for it for be happening. I have performed 3 different backups and all 3 have the md5 error. No name changes. No uninstalls. No changes the would an error.

Thanks for the suggestion. As you can see from my update I got it going, somewhat. Not sure if the checkdisk did the trick, but it couldn't hurt it. I found no errors, but who knows?

JUST AN UPDATE:
Well, I got v.2.11 working. Still not sure what I did differently but here are the steps:
Uninstalled everything.
Unrooted.
Formatted SD and internal SD.
Checked both for errors using check disk in Windows.
Did a factory reset from within the phone and let it reboot to the OS.
Went into factory recovery and wiped data and cache after a clean boot.
Started up the phone and 2.11 works and I was able to format /system and install a custom ROM.

3.11 still will not see the SD card though.

Well, I spoke too soon. I did flash a ROM with 2.11 successfully. So I thought I'd uninstall 2.11 and try again with 3.11. Still doesn't show the SD card. So, I uninstall and go back to 2.11 after I went through the whole phone reset process again. This time I didn't un-root. Gonna see how it goes. If it works out this time I will do a full reset again and start from scratch with 3.11 just to see if it will work.

Well, it ain't looking good. I flashed a ROM. Was unhappy with it so I booted back to safestrap. Disabled safe system and it just stuck at the Motorla M. So not sure what happened there but I had to go back and flash a custom ROM just to get the phone to work. Well you can't flash a zip with SS disabled so I had to enable it and since there really is no safe system it backs up only what it 'sees' as the safe system-which is nothing. So now I am on a custom ROM with no safe backup and none of my backups will restore due to the md5 error.

Does anyone know if I can perform a safe backup on an identical device and copy the files to my card and then turn safe system off? Gonna try it tonight regardless but was just curious if anyone knew.

Also, if I get it back to 'stock', It is gonna stay there. This is just ridiculous!!!

FWIW, I got my wifes phone and enabled Safe System and also performed a backup. I then disabled Safe System and booted into her OS. I copied the safestrap folder from her Internal SD and her Ext SD to the same locations on my phone. I had to overwrite the files I had on my phone. So then I went back into my phone, booted to recovery. I performed a factory reset/wipe/ Wiped the cache partition. Wiped Dalvik cache. Formatted system. Then disabled Safe System. Phone did it's thing and came right up.

I said all that to say that if you can find a phone that is identical you can copy over the Safestrap files from the "good" device to the bricked or broken one and get it going.

If you're still on ICS and haven't taken the update leak..... fastboot

How come the new safestrap update is only for the OG Razr? Not complaining just asking.

I suppose it's because it contains changes for Jelly Bean. My guess is it would probably work on the other phones it works on now but I don't know for sure. Anyway, there's really no point to updating on those phones because they don't have Jelly Bean and don't require the changes for Jelly Bean.

I could be wrong but I think the mount points are wrong in the script. I will talk to hashcode in the morning.

I think so. If you mean that it isn't 'looking' in the right spot to mount the SD card. But why then does it work like a charm on my wifes phone? They are identical-both RAZR Maxx, both from Allltel. Her card is 8Gb vs 16Gb for mine. Could that be the issue?

32G is what is the recommended highest according to my verizon rep but I have heard 64G works for others

Yes. I know the phone is capable of 32. But what about Safe strap? What size card is everyone else on here using? And what brand? Mine is 16gb Samsung class 4.

[robocuff]

I'm using a 16 GB card. No problems.

I've been reading but not finding the exact help I need so here goes. I have been running Safestrap 3.11 on Jelly Bean Leak since 3.11 came out. I have 2 ROM slots I'm using and have not had an issue at all from any of this and have been flashing ROMS many times. I have settled down and I am running JELLYWIZZ in slot1 as my daily ROM. Everything has been fine until today. Went to go show a picture to someone and phone says SDCARD is empty.......SDCARD-EXT showed all files. Other APPS acting funny too so I rebooted. Everything looked good for a bit then it started again. I Rebooted and was going into Safestrap to wipe Cache and Dalvic on SLOT1 just to clean up but I can not boot into Safestrap. It prompts with Safestrap in SAFEMODE (still running on SLOT1) but when I choose Recovery to go wipe cache......Safestrap reboots and prompts and main Safestrap menu again. I can not get into Recovery (it just reboots). If I let safestrap sit at first menu for 10seconds it does as it should and boots into current active ROM. I have uninstalled Safestrap Recovery and reinstalled then rebooted. Same thing. I have a good backup (TWRP) of factory ROM and SLOT 1 & 2. Any way to get back in to Recovery, delete ROM1 & 2 and I will restore if needed or.........If I uninstall Recovery from Safestrap....Reboot......will it just load Stock Rom again? I have no problem with that. Sorry So long just wanted to let you know what I have done so far before I go over the cliff so to speak. Thanks for any help.....

Got impatient so.......got everything back but the only way was to uninstall Recovery from Safestrap.......reboot phone (it booted into stock ROM).....uninstalled Safestrap3.11........reinstalled Safestrap3.11........wiped SDCARD (also cleaned up SDCARD-ext while I was at it......rebooted into Recovery, recreated ROM SLOTs and restored TWRP ROM backups. Don't know what caused initial problem but at least I could get back even when not getting to Safestrap. Always wondered what would happen and how to recover if I could not get to Safestrap, now I know. Probably not the best but the only way I knew how..,

Good evening, thanks Hashcode for all you do!  I'm a huge fan of safestrap and have been using since I learned about roming, now I can't stop and with safestrap I have not had a major brick, but I have fxzed!....lol  I have a bioinc running SS 3.11 with JB deodexed running in slot 2 as my dd.  I was wondering if it's possible to have the external SD card recognized when I boot into SS so that I can flash a ROM from the external SD.  MY internal SD is getting jammed up with several roms loaded...I like playing with the early rom builds and am looking to learn more so I can participate with more knowledge.  If you answered this previously, I'm sorry but I didn't see the post.
