I'm not having much luck finding a rom I like, that I can flash with safestrap. I thought I found a good version of CM, but after it successfully flashed, it wouldn't boot into it.
So i was wondering if there is anyway to somehow convert a rom to use with safestrap

Thats how to try to get CM10 to work. I want to know if there's a way to make any rom safestrap compatible, like carbon, or pacman

They all have a boot.img, so it will be the same.

So twrp backups (or cwmr but what about the blobs?-another topic.) might be an easier path for SS evaluation of a particular rom - just restore system & the locked boot is left by default.

Yeah, theoretically you could only restore system and data from a TWRP backup. However, if he still has a locked bootloader, he wouldn't be able to flash a ROM to make a backup in the first place. If had one previously, it might work.

Got it. So all us "unlocker's" can post BUs of twrp systems for locked users?
Doable?

In all honesty, it might work. I would try it out, before loading up something, but it just might be doable.

It wouldn't hurt you to thank him for the link.

I am thankful for the help. I didn't realize he was saying it could be applicable to other roms.
So much for my vision! Seems the kernel is the sticky wicket of the system that borks it for locked phone.

i recall Tim posting a method to convert a SS ROM to TWRP/CWM flashable, but not sure on the performing the reverse.
might be worth looking into though: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/16516-fix-for-all-stock-roms-to-be-installed-with-twrpcwm/

Dead horse!
The system of a twrp bu has the kernel in it but the portion that has the kernel cannot be altered on a lock phone.
They cannot even restore something very stock like my DD which is a twrp bu not a ROM.

Okay, but this is general section, not Q/A and should be there but today is Friday and I am tremendously happy lol
1. Download 4.4 Radio and 4.4 ROM. (say thanks to Imperticus)
2. Put both zips in your sdcard
3. Go to recovery and do: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system (optional, advisable for upgrading to 4.4)
4. Flash Radio.zip
5. Flash ROM
U don't need any gapps since this is a factory image...
If you want a rooted/deodexed/busybox ROM download this one in stead of the other (say thanks to fireb33)
If u have any problem just let me know.

Flash Stock+Unroot (choose 4.4 option), after that root and put recovery. check if radio and bootloader ok.
P.S.
I think it's good for 4.4. to wipe device and do clean one.

ive gone and broken everything
ive never had issues updating various cyanogen versions once originally installed clockwork recovery. always been as simple as downloading and transferring the zip to SD and booting to recovery and installing from SD when i didnt do the auto updates which still took me to recovery at reboot. but i got impatient for the 4.4 version which reading from cyanongen is in no hurry to release because just released milestone version of 4.3. I downloaded the 4.4 zip right from google and tried installing it from SD like i always did after doing all the various wipes. The google factory image wasnt even recognized by clockwork. so doing some googling got here with steps to radio and os images got them transferred over and booted to recovery and they were at least selectable. got radio to go through. the actual os got error 7 during install, which doing even more googling said should edit a file in the zip contents. Too bad now cant get past the google logo and goes right back to recovery menus for me to transfer editted zip file for the error 7 problem. So im at least partially bootable but no clue how the heck to get myself out of this mess ive gotten myself into due to my impatience and wanting latest and greatest for my nexus 4. would love any help in how to undo problem i caused because the whole adb thing is foreign to me

To the OP, no idea what he is talking about other than it might be slightly different than what you are used to using. Download and install Safestrap. Then when you reboot, you can enter Recovery which will be TWRP. Then you can backup, flash, whatever.

Is anyone here using TWRP 3.x? I'm still on 2.x, since I read of lots of problems with newer versions of the recovery on this device, but I'd like to upgrade now. Can anyone give me some feedback?

If you're trying to downgrade, it means that you've flashed TWRP.
If you've flashed TWRP, it means that you already know how to flash a custom recovery.
If you already know how to flash a custom recovery, then this is EXACTLY the same thing. Just pick an older version of TWRP and flash it the exact same way you would flash any version of TWRP.
And if you don't even know how to do that, google is your friend.

If you can get to recovery, you might be able to use the stock recovery to get to bootloader. In the roms section there is a guide thread which has a link for a version of twrp that is working (Chinese version) rather than the TWRP (WIP) thread. That Chinese version of TWRP is working. You can use that and up twrp backup above to try and get yourself up and running until a full rom zip comes out from OnePlus?
Or if you dont want to use my backup, maybe use twrp to format data and see if that gets you booting? IF not then my back up, but remember each time you come out of twrp and boot system you loose twrp

I hve the best lol, after recover system/boot, my data partition in the OS (not TWRP) was unwritable, so i have lock Bootloader for try recover Stock Recovery and do a factory reset.... Now Bootloop!
So for now i must wait for install emergency/factory OxygenOS from OnePlus when available because i can do nothing. I miss Odin from Samsung, so useful for flash recovery/rom
