Safestrap 3.75 frozen Please Help

I have a S4 with NC1. I installed towelroot, installed SU and Busybox, then Safestrap 3.75. I wanted to install a Rom but I hit install on safestrap, it went to a recovery looking menu with all red writing and I clicked on the rom , it tried to install but failed. When it cut off and turned back on it is stuck on a screen that says custom with an open padlock. Looks like safestrap trying to boot.

Thanks

I am using a 4.2 based AOKP_redefined_v3 rom on my HTC Desire S.

I had made a Nandroid backup of my rooted 2.3.5 stock rom before flashing this one.

to go back to the stock rooted rom, can i just simply restore after going into 4EXT recovery ?

do i need to flash anything else, since I am S-On ? (similar to when flashing a rom, need to flash the boot.img through fastboot ?)

thanks

Just restore

To the best of my knowledge(which is not much :P), you just have to restore that through recovery. i dont know about htc, but in my pop plus, thats all u need

yesterday, when i was unable to get the aokp rom restarted, i tried restoring the nandroid backup thru 4EXT.

but on restart, it showed the HTC logo, then the screen went black.

so i don't know what i missed, but that should have restored the original old rom. :confused:

according to my experience, towelroot is useless. I tried it on galaxy note 3 and it didnt root it. it said it did but actually no root apps worked. when i tried to install cf3d, it was bricked!! try the odin method to root, it is much safe

PS ur problem may either be that or be that u tried to install a rom from stock recovery. u need CWM, TWRP, GetUX, Philzz or similar custom recovery to install roms and kernels

Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 with MIUI 2.4.20 ROM not showing message text edit window

Dear Sir, I have installed customized ROM MIUI 2.4.20 on my Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 by Nadiren from xda-developers.com from here. My question is that after exporting contacts from .vcf file from the sd card, the messaging app is not working properly. When I type the name of the contact in the to field, the message text window for editing text disappears. This is only happening after exporting contacts from .vcf file on the sd card. The .vcf file was made by the stock ROM. When the .vcf file was not exported. I had tried to send messages by entering numbers in to field of messaging app the messages were send. To field, is the field where the contacts number or name is entered for sending the messages. The rest of the ROM is working perfectly. I only need to adjust the messaging app so that the phone works smoothly. Please provide help on this issue.

Edit: I fixed it.

His root method worked fine. That's not his issue, and there is nothing wrong with towel root. Not all devices can use Odin or the same method(s) as other devices.

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

Did you make sure the ROM you were installing was compatible with safestrap? Some ROMs are not compatible because of the locked boatloader. Did your ROM have a custom kernel in it? I take it from your post that you cannot get into safestrap or recovery?

[General Questions and Answers] absinthesummer:
It's a known issue, it's listed both in the rom thread and in the rom q&a thread, The first attempt to flash fails sometimes. Reboot recovery and it flashes fine after that.

I also noticed you have a lot of threads asking different questions as something got corrupted. Wouldn't it be more helpful to those trying to help you to create a single thread listing all of your issues? Or editing one of your existing threads with updates on whatever is going on? Lastly, did you ever determine your bootloader or carrier info? Generally you should know this very important information before you flash anything, in case something goes wrong. It's really difficult to help people when they don't know anything about their own device. My recommendation is to read, read, read everything you need to know before you jump to flashing things. This includes your own phone's information (there are apps that can provide it), reading thoroughly both the rom of your choice's rom thread AND Q&A/faq thread if it has one, and go ahead and have stock links on hand in case anything happens, so you don't have to ask people to find links for you. I think if you do these things you will at least minimize the risks in flashing. Good luck, I hope you figure it all out... please understand I'm only posting this stuff to help you.

I just wanted to share what I learned was the best way to get help and fix those problems when they occur. ;)

Usually taking it back to stock will fix most issues you may be experiencing. And from there you don't have to stop flashing, just make sure you're prepared for the worst before you do it. I hope you get it back up and running- and I'm sure you will. Make note of what you do to get it working so that if you have similar problems in the future, you already know what to do.

And avoid messing with the bootloader, especially through recovery! :p

now im sort of having trouble flashing stock rom through odin T.T it gets stuck at sboot.bin (using 1.3) and when i used version 3.07 i get stuck at nandwrite :/
[General Questions and Answers] absinthesummer:
That's no fun, I bet it's that bootloader you tried to flash. Corrupt boot img. Do you know which bootloader it was (have a file name or a link or something?)... you may have to flash a pit file along with the stock image to make sure it's thoroughly cleaned and restructured. I've seen posts where people got stuck at sboot and also got no pit partition errors. Most of them were able to fix by flashing pit with stock tar.md5 file (with repartition checked and reboot unchecked). Do an xda search for these terms "Odin stuck" "Odin sboot" and "Odin fail". You may find some threads with more details... but don't use any files found in those posts until you check to make sure the forum is the same as your device (intl note 2) or download the relevant files from your device forum.

Edited to add: I sometimes have trouble with Odin too. I use 1.85 usually and if that fails I use 3.09. You can also do the reverse (try the newer one first if it fails try the older one) always keep a few versions of Odin on hand. It can be finicky sometimes.

Voice commands on a Droid 3 with Android 2.3.6

I'm using a Motorola Droid 3 with Android 2.3.6 and I am trying to use a headset when I drive. However, the only thing that the phone can handle seems to be voice dialing; if I try to send a text message, I see the text message window open briefly, but then the lock screen immediately comes on. I also don't see how I could get the phone to read text messages to me aloud. Is my OS just too old to support these features? If so, are there any good 3rd-party apps that could do this for me?
