Yeah the best way is to create nandroids of each rom slot to your ext sdcard.

After they're made delete all the rom slots you created within TWRP itself (boot options select each slot and then select delete for each) afterwards boot into your stock rom slot.

On reboot open the SS app and choose uninstall recovery. Then open your phones main "Settings" and select Apps.

Scroll down to SS and delete it's data&cache, click force stop and then uninstall it.

After that you're all good but I personally use Root Explorer to find my backups in the TWRP/BackUp/XXXXXX/ folder & move all of them to a different folder on my ext sdcard for safe keeping.
Once that's done I proceed to delete the SS & TWRP folders on my sdcard & ext sdcard.

Once you install the new version, open the app & install it's recovery. Then reboot into it and create a new stock nandroid. Then select Advanced from the main menu then File Manager and use it to move your old nandroids to the newly created TWRP/BACKUP/#s/ so you can then restore your rom slots.

I only posted this so those of you who are a little anal about your phone (like I am) you'll have a more complete way to format and reinstall the new SS.

Pretty much what I was thinking the procedure would be. Think I'll just stick with what's been working with 3.5 since I have a few projects that I'm working with on 2 slots plus my DD until I absolutely have no choice. Thanks for the clarification!

Hey just won't to give a little incite all I did was go to my stock rom went to safestrap uninstalled recovery then went and uninstalled safestrap and then installed the new one installed recovery and then restored my rom. Now that's what I did that is not saying it will work for someone else. That's just my 2 cents

I always uninstall recovery first. Delete the apk. Then install the new apk and reinstall recovery. Extra steps but im OCD. Im sure you can just delete the old apk, install the new apk, and install recovery.

Yes It does work, The Only thing you can Not Do...is go into Safestrap on your Desktop click on the Icon and choose Uninstall.....B-cuz if you do when you Boot your System it will go to your Stock ROM Not Safestrap...Just an FYI

The process I wrote was for the people that want to completely format/delete the old SS and install a fresh copy...

Just use a machine with more RAM.

Just use a machine with more RAM.

I dont think it because a Machine because I use Macbook Pro i7 with 16GB Mem and 256 SSD in Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit.
I dont think that MBP cant handle this with this spec ?

I think its because i dont uninstall safestrap v311 and i flash the stock rom. now its stuck...

Safestrap doesn't affect fastbooting, ever. Whatever issue is going on isn't from Safestrap.

i mean the issue is, i forget to toggle unsafe system (Stock) back. Because i use the safe system (ROM-Slot1), when i flash the stock rom. Thats what i mean.
So do you think that if i flash with RSDLite 5.7 and the 246 Firmware, its gonna make the problem aways?

[LDubs]

Shouldn't make a difference, rsd lite will bring your device back to bone stock...

Hmm, already try to flash with RSDLite, but its stuck at flash system "system.img" for almost 2 hour.
is it so long like that ? or maybe something wrong with my bionic ?

[LDubs]

Hmm that's too long, system takes a while but def not 2 hrs...

[nukeruss]

I would unplug your phone. Reboot your computer and then try again. This should clear up any potential driver issues that could be causing the difficulty.
