I would assume it would

For me I am on MDL firmware but running a CUSTOM MF3 ROM, which does not contain stock kernel (slightly modified and what not) anyways, that was my "stock ROM" I than flashed gpe ROM an slot 1 and had the no WiFi bug. However, the mf3 modules did not fix the issue...so I manually took the modules from my "stock ROM" and put them in the gpe rom and fixed their permissions and that fixed the wifi

So with that said...I believe if you are on MDL as long as you flash a ROM in an actual recovery and have it lokid, you can than use that as your stock ROM and from their flash other aosp based Roms to ROM slots...I will test this later but that's my theory...

And I only say use an actual recovery for the stock ROM because I am not sure if safestrap can flash kernels or utilize Loki...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mikecantreed:
This is amazing. So since you're dual-booting the stock ROM and a custom ROM, you are losing ~2-3GB of internal storage? Obviously not a huge deal with 64GB microSD cards but just wondering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ronnie498:
I agree that would be great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kalmoa:
Just to verify, will any AT&T Galaxy S4 ROM work with SafeStrap? Or does it have to be specific ones?

And FYI - (I'm on MF3)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Drake9897:
As of now IN THEORY all AT&T roms that run on 4.2.2 jelly bean and don't have a custom kernel SHOULD work. the only ones I have tested to be working so far are Gravitron and GE 4.2.2 those I can CONFIRM working.

Is there going to be a way for us to use our user data from our stock rom? Like the htc one does?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Never use user data across ROMs. That will lead to problems. It is OK to keep app data. I am not sure if SS will be able to keep the data but I am sure you can use TB to restore any app data from a backup.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] haremmon:
Goldeneye works without any problems? I thought safestrap is only for roms with stock kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sykoj82:
Interesting now I'm confused. If goldeneye works, wouldn't shostock work too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Drake9897:
lol i didnt know golden eye needed a custom kernel. but the i never got the first installation prompt where you setup wifi and your google account though.

Okay I guess golden eye works BUT a few things appear missing.

Goldeneye has Adam's kernel part of it and yea [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] took out the installation promprt for his roms :)

I think goldeneye uses adams kernel, but the same dev made a similar rom with a stock kernel. It's called MDOB (Minimal Display of Bordem), found here:

Would MDOB be better to use than Goldeneye, since MDOB uses stock kernel?

Yea so I just asked hashcode got an awesome reply!

https://twitter.com/Hashcode0f/status/380458946504323072

To me that means we are allowed to install any roms with custom kernel. However, that custom kernel will be used with all the roms on safestrap so be careful. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Drake9897:
That installation prompt lol. but there's no customization or anything. sorta boring rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] haremmon:
Oh yea, that's normal with [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] roms haha. It's meant to replicate the stock touchwiz without any bloatwares and such.

Odin Mode after ROM Install with Safestrap

I have a I337 with mf3 and have installed Safestrap. I have tried installing Darth Stalker and Deadly Venom ROMs. The installation process appears to be successful.

On reboot the phone goes into the Safestrap splashscreen. After "continue" the phone goes into Odin mode and hangs there. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gadget069:
Not familiar with those roms, are they 4.2.2? If they're 4.3 they won't work. Also make sure you flash the module zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joelby2:
I have made sure that the stock rom is 4.2.2 and everytime I have time I have tried to flash custom rom I have flashed MF3 KERNEL MODULE .ZIP immediately after the rom install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gadget069:
So you're flashing the stock rom slot? Any rom you flash has to be TW 4.2.2 based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joelby2:
No, trying to flash one of the other slots.I took this rom off of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428254 so it appears that it should be good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gadget069:
Darthstalker is a 4.3 mk2 based rom. So if you flashed that one first that may have caused your issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joelby2:
Tried loading the venom rom and on the bright side it is doing something different. Now it is showing the splash screen for safestrap, I press continue, and it reboots without going into Odin mode.

I have a question about using the advanced wipe feature.

Loop

I am having a weird issue where I create the rom slot 1 partition, install GE 4.2.2, install build.prop, and install mf3. Everything appears fine, but when I try to reboot into my newly install GE 4.2.2,I get stuck in a boot loop. The samsung logo comes up, then SS. Wen I choose to continue, it just repeats. Anyone know how to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
What do you mean install build.prop? You should only be installing the ROM and the modules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] malf922:
I read from someone in this thread that you should install the GE4.2.2, followed by the GE 4.2.2 build.prop 1337, followed by MF3 module. Even when I wipe the partition and install just GE and the MF3 module, the same thing happens. I do not doubt for a second that the error is on my part, I just can't figure out where.

I am seeing that it skips the MD5 check because no file is found, but it still says flash is successful.

EDIT: Figured it out. It was the version of Safestrap I was using. Was using 3.7. I uninstalled it and used 3.65, and am now enjoying GE 4.2.2. Thanks!

I'm having a rather unlucky experience with getting ROMs to work so far...

Safestrap works fine. I've tested backing up my stock slot with no issues, and flashing ROMs works as well. I can boot into the stock slot with no issues.

However, ANY ROM I try to flash leads to a bootloop. I've tried several, but my current goal is Graviton. The installation during the flash looks like everthing was successful, but it bootloops no matter what on the custom slot.

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rallink:
The Rom version of Graviton was 1.7, I believe. I used the most recent version of Safestrap to be linked to from these forums as of the 23rd of December, if that also makes a difference.

When SS is updated to 4.3 or higher

Would we have to do the upgrade of our phones to 4.3 if SS is updated to use 4.3 roms or would being able to flash a 4.3 rom through SS automatically upgrade me? If it's done for us automagically that would be great and less of a headache when that great day does come about.

mk2 to stock still have safestrap recovery show up

I was hoping someone could give me a little direction. So here was my original issue.I had mk2 on stock 4.3 and then has a successful root. I then accidentally flashed a recovery through twrp. I managed to flash the original stock recovery and do a data wipe and factory reset which was successful . My only issue now the phone was fully wiped and boots and runs perfectly, on the contrary, the safetrap logo still comes up. I can just press continue and there is no issues but how can I remove that logo from popping up everytime i reboot. I am selling my device and want it gone. The screen has the safestrap logo guy and says safestrap disabled. Then at the bottom it says recovery at the bottom left and continue at the bottom right. Help please.

Lost cellular data

Can someone help with this.

Hello All,

So, I successfully installed safestrap on my rooted gs4 with MK2. I was able to install hyperdrive rls12 and was able to text and make calls. I tried fixing the wifi by flashing some modules and now I don't have any cellular data when booting back into the stock rom. baseband shows empty, no calls, texts etc.

I have no clue what to do and how I can fix it, nor how I managed to mess up the stock rom slot.

Please help.

Thanks

I might have flashed the wrong modules, and now have no way to fix it. I have no way to make calls or text now and I even restored with safestrap and it's still not working.

Fixed it, found a true mk2 modem. I think I might have flashed a vzw modem not att.

In big red bold, [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] states to be certain you're on Verizon gs4. I know mj9 and mk2 are basically the same. Has anyone from ATT confirmed success yet?

Will installing this update mean I have to reflash HD12 in Rom Slot 1, after reactivating the slot? I just d/l 40 gb of Play music that I don't want to wipe.

I am not comfortable with adb yet...can I just d/l the new apk directly to my phone?

Hey guys sorry to bump this again but I'm really looking for an answer on this.

It seems like it is still paired with my stock Rom and doesn't want to cooperate with any of the custom roms? I'm kind of at a loss.

I've been stock ATT s4 since May. Had mdl for a week before accepting the ota for mf3, then mk2. I waited for a while because i must have this phone consistently stable... Phone before this was HTC Inspire that I rooted, S-off, and loved Viper ROMs.

That said, rooting my stock mk2 was stooopid easy... SS 3.70 was a cinch to install, and I love the safety net of preserving Stock Slot...since I must keep this operational. I have only tried one ROM, HD12, but I've heard it's the best one anyway, and I have got to say...I LOVE IT! Using Pie for the first time...it's fantastic. No regrets here!

Upgrade to SS 3.71 went smoothly too, with no loss in Rom Slot 1. :)

Edit: corrected mistake mdk >mdl
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tazzyez:
I tried HD RS12 but it won't boot. Just bootloop for me over and over. I did get the final version used what i thought was correct module and not sure if the att forum had one for SS like the Verizon forum. Will try the other once I'm home tonight but really wanted something slim and fast in the lines of GPE but on MK2 I don't see that happening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RuggedHunter:
You've probably double checked, but since many others describe the same issue and discovered their mistake, be absolutely positive that you are on mk2... consider flashing SS 3.70 instead of 3.71 first (that's what I did)...be absolutely positive that you have downloaded the correct HD zip for mk2...double check again...if on 3.70, make sure zip is on /sdcard/download...find the mk2 modules and put them in the same folder...use "MD5Checker" to verify clean downloads...then activate Rom1 and flash HD, followed by modules.

If it worked, update to SS 3.71 following those directions, and HD12 should still be in Rom1.

I hope this helps, but i am noob, so....

Edit: you said you flashed "final"....I think that is for mdl, not mk2... If that's the case, read a TON first. You may or may not need additional steps...odin, etc... I didn't really study those solutions since I didn't come to that problem yet...
