Forget about safestrap you can only use bootstrap for now but dont use it I just want to make sure you are rooted dont do anything just see if it works. If every thing is good it couyld be just Verizon screwing up. If you are on5.5.886 and you are foreverooted make a nanoid backup of it and remember what number it is. so you dont have to do fast boot again
I am currently using safestrap...From what I have been told Hashcode developed newer versions of safestrap to work with any rom..
IMO safestrap is what you should be using its features are awesome, idk why you wouldnt want it

Has anyone else done this same technique to get the OTA on their Bionic? What I mean is, from a custom ROM, run ReleasedRoot, option 1, which should wipe the phone, create a fresh stock 886 /system, root and forever root. Then, apply the OTA. It sounds like it would work.
After running ReleasedRoot option 1 you're no longer on Liberty, you're back to the stock Bionic ROM, right? I haven't used that program at all so I'm asking you. Which brings me to a suggestion. Try other ways to achieve what you're doing, and see if you have better luck.
1. Use Fastboot or the FXZ to get back to stock.
2. Root the Bionic.
3. Manually forever root by editing a file and adding 3 lines to the end as described here.
4. Apply the OTA update.
This is exactly what I did minus step 1 because I was already at stock. You could also try step 1 above, but then ReleasedRoot option 2, instead of my steps 2 & 3. My initial suspicion is that your phone is not quite back at stock, and the OTA is failing as a result.
Do what. I both bootstrap and safestrap when do I run em
Hashcode said:Safestrap 1.07 (link): This bootstrap works by putting .zip files on your /preinstall partition. Please remove Koush's Bootstrap prior to installing Safestrap.
DO NOT USE SAFESTRAP BACKUPS WITH ANY OTHER RECOVERY.
