Safestrap on MI1

I cannot post in the dev thread where MI1 is being discussed... But I have seen it a few times in both threads.

People have reported that safestrap on MI1 works, but that wifi doesn't even though they flashed the modules.

As far as I have seen no MI1 modules file has been posted... as a general question, have all these people been reporting that flashing the ME7 module file doesn't work? Isn't that obvious?

It seems that if someone can produce the necessary modules for the MI1 kernel, everything should work, as the issue is that the kernel needs to match the kernel from the safeside... The current modules file that is posted is DEV is to make roms work on ME7 by patching the kernel to be the same as the safe side, so flashing ME7 modules on a MI1 phone is missing the point of flashing the module file all together? yes?

Sorry, I just keep seeing people verify that safestrap does not have functional wifi on MI1 even with the module flash... but have not seen ANY discussion of an updated module file for the new MI1 base, and no MI1 modules is posted in the dev thread, so I get the feeling one does not exist yet.

Can someone bring up this possibility in the dev thread, or copy over this explanation? I'm curious to know if its as simple as having someone pull the wifi and other modules needed for the kernel and making the install zip

or I am another one of those lost newbs asking if anyone has tried flashing a rom with odin to avoid the locked bootloader :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpjones:
Yeah man. I saw the note added to the bug list and tried what I said a couple days ago. The bluetooth controls issue was last problem I had. I'm a pretty happy camper at this point even if the work-around is the best fix I get. :D

Will using the stock slot for ss okay for custom roms? (Since I have only 4gb internal storage)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
I keep having MD5 check failing while trying to install Hyperdrive 10 and I am using SS 3.60....

Do I have to have "Zip file signature verification" checked?!

I checked the MD5 multiple times and verified that I have the correct download and the md5 verified... SO why does it keep failing?

Edit: I was on 3.60 here and Verification was on by default...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue:
Keeo trying or is your download corrupted? I installed it just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sam008:
Guys

I can't get Hyperdrive to work. I installed the ROM into ROM-SLOT1 and then installed jfltevzw-ME7-modules.zip right after (without rebooting). However, I'm still getting the blank screen and nothing else. Can someone help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I would delete the rom slot and start over. I had no problems installing either hyperdrive rom via ss.

Hi Sam008,

I'm not sure whether you got this working or not, but I happened to check the thread and see this. I had the exact same problem, if it's going black right after SafeStrap tries to boot Rom Slot 1. Verify the MD5 on your ROM file (and module file), apparently this file gets corrupted quite frequently. I had to try 6 different mirrors before I found a good copy, and I'm not 100% unconvinced it was my internet connection causing the problem, because I tried once at work and got it from one of the mirrors I had previously tried. Good luck!

Something of note - When I tried the bad copies of the ROM it was fairly quick to flash, when I finally got a good copy it took a good 10+ minutes. Feel free to message me or reply if you need more help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I know that downloading to the PC and then copying the file to the ext sd card on the S4 I have never had an ROM install issue. As I posted before in this thread or another from the time I started the DL to my PC to when I booted up hyperdrive was less than 30 min.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cindylee60:
deleted due to finding my answer by reading a little more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
UPdate:

So what finally fixed it for me in SafeStrap was to uncheck the button in SS that says "Zip file signature verification"...Really I didn't uncheck it but I updated to 3.62 and it was automatically unchecked. I don't know why the last install of SS 3.60 had it on but in 3.62 didn't... Oh well it installed and all is working great! I did verify the Zip in ES File Explorer many times with many different downloads, from the PC and from the phone and the MD5 did verify correctly so I think its just SS that was screwing up with its Verification...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] masri1987:
so i'm new to all this, i have read A TON, i'm coming from S3, i got it given to me by asurion, so i have a vzw s4, on me7, i rooted it, nothing more, can i flash AOSP roms on safestrap? Kernels?

also anything else i need to know in terms of 'slots'?

safety of my memory card?

I've also seen tons of posts about memory, can someone educate me about memory limitations with safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amir8500:
That's what I did, I even tried downloading on my laptop thinking maybe something was up with my desktop, because in all the custom roms I've used for my D1 and G-Nexus I never had a problem. I always use my PC for it, though, I was a little surprised when I saw that people were downloading directly to their phones. I attribute it, in part, to the sheer size that ROMs are for current phones. I remember on my D1 they were like 300-350MB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saturnalius:
Just a quick question. When you have safestrap installed but not enabled (on the safe system) if you try to take a system update is it supposed to show you the "Samsung Custom" screen with the unlocked padlock symbol when it tries to update it? The update didn't work but I just tried it twice in a row and I got the samsung custom splash screen when it booted into the update installer and when it rebooted to system. Is that normal? I thought you would never see that while the bootloader is locked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
I'm not positive, but I think if have root you're going to see the unlocked padlock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cindylee60:
Has anyone got safestrap working fully (with wifi) with MI1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Don't believe so.

Yes you can but only stock rooted mi1 there is a thread for rooting mi1. U can use baseband on other roms like hyperdrive or beans7 but not mi1 kernel and baseband

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
You're don't need recovery to install Safestrap. Safestrap installs recovery for you.

Just install Safestrap apk then open Safestrap and install recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
Are you selecting to reboot to recovery? After instqlling apk and recovery... reboot then select access recovery at spash screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cindylee60:
I got safestrap installed and recovery. I guess now I wait for MI1 roms...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MasterBro10:
For some reason it wasnt booting to recovery since it was charging weird:sly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
Both? Are on mdk if so you dont need both loki is the way to go. If on mdk you can flash the rooted mi1 and install exposed wanam ect and make the phone look like what you want. Or you can flash any rom but only use mi1 baseband but not kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cindylee60:
I meant I have safestrap and recovery installed on MI1, But there aren't any safestrap roms that fully work with MI1 yet (as I understand it) so I'm waiting for them to pop up on the forum :)

I WISH I had mdk!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
You can run any rom now that is tw and me7 build im using hyperdrive just cant use mi1 kernel

BT controls

Does anyone know if the BT controls problem is one that may eventually be fixed in SS, or if it's just gonna be the price for using a slot?

Stock slot flashing still seems very risky, but I love my headset controls...

I've been running Eclipse S4 TW edition (Link). It has the AOSP look and feel but still maintains TW features and stability. I've been very happy with it.

PS - although its based on the MDK kernel, it works fine on my safestrapped ME7 phone.

Need Root help for Verizon Samsung S4

I am new to Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 - I had one of the first Droid Razr's that I rooted rom-ed etc etc but that was several years ago....

I just got my S4 and wish to Root it... I am looking for the right things to do, and in the right order.... I was hoping to use the latest root with a few quick steps and 1-2-3 done but the damn thing installed the latest update 4 or 5 days ago and now my quick and easy root doesnt work (damn)

I have the following info from the phone and hope I dont have to wait several months for a new exploit to become available...

Android Version 4.2.2

baseband I545VRUAME7

Kernel 3.4.0-690088

Build JDQ39.I545VRUAME7

hardware version I545.06

I hope some will be kind enough to point me in the right direction...

Thanks Rachel

Please forgive me if I have put this in the wrong area or wrong thread.

also please suggest any apps / tools I need to get for my new S4

Safestrap quite working

Anyone else see a glitch where if your phone is plugged in, its hit or miss getting safestrap working.

My battery was getting low, playing around with GE ROM. Plugged in my phone first 3 reboots or so no issues, then I could not get back into safestrap no matter what I tried. The phone would just boot to stock ROM. Unplugged my phone and everything is back to normal. :eek:

I'm ME7 if that matters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Please see my response to your question in the other SS thread. In short, no, SS requires a tw kernal, ME, MDK or MI1. If you are on MDK, you can flash roms with TWRP without SS. Wait until KEXEC kernels are developed for SS to flash aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bast525:
Well, GPE ROM or not.... can someone confirm that I can use safestrap to flash a rom over the stock Rom slot and not make a second slot? Thus running a custom rom and still having max internal space available? And yes I realise it would still have to be a safestrap/ME7 kernel compatible rom as boot img can't be flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eklipz3:
i've been using the download link from the op but and it seems to download fine but also that is what i thought bad download when i coudn't move file to my phone but once i was able to it said install failed so is there any other links that might work?

MI1 modules for people who took the update

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2496027
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lightnx:
Hi. I don't post much but I read and have been flashing/rooting/blah blah with my phones for years.

These guys do amazing job to bring us all these abilities and mods.

So I found something odd and it's really making me wonder how my phone is even operating so I'm just going to get on with it.

I rooted my S4 on ME7. Then I installed safe strap. After playing with roms I hated not having full storage ability. So I very carefully wiped my stock ROM. Then flashed hyperdrive 9.1 to stock. Did not reboot and quit the installer. Then I flashed SS module, reboot. Boom profit.

I know people have done this and it's not recommended in any way. This is know.

so after using my phone for a few weeks with no issues hyperdrive rls10 was released. Of course I wanted to update so I reboot into safestrap and wipe everything in stock again. I flashed RLS 10 and in aroma it now had option to install safestrap kernel so I decided to tick the box and reboot to see how it goes.

All is well except from that point on I no longer have safestrap on my phone.it never pops up during hard boot. Just samsung s4, boot animation, and voila.

everything works 100%. Battery is amazing too. I know I've committed a cardinal sin by going against recommendation and I expect no official support. But it seems to me my phone is running hyperdrive 10 with no safestrap on ME7 bootloader? Or am I just missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] emarietta:
Hmm ive always wondered what would happen if I flashed on top of stock.. I know if anything happened id most likely have to odin and restart but busy schedule prevents me in trying. But having the option to wipe the stock I dont see why it wouldnt work. We are inatalling the same thing just changes to it. How did you wipe? I might give it a try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lightnx:
I wiped stock in SS. Then when I flashed hyperdrive 10 in the aroma I wiped everything except ext sd card. At the end of aroma it gave option to install SS kernel. I ticked that box and when done I rebooted.

with 9.1 I flashed to stock too but I didnt reboot and quit installer and flashed SS module after ROM. I know I could Odin back if something went wrong. I just did a battery pull and turned on phone. Nothing SS pops up. Not even the samsung "custom" screen..nothing. it has the samsung galaxy s4 then boot animation then lockscreen. Boots from off to lockscreen under 10secs. I like it I just find it odd that safstrap is just gone. Before on 9.1 it would show safestrap disabled yada yada.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelg117:
Van you do me a favor and try reinstalling safe strap from the apk and see if you can boot to it..?

Gonna take a shot in the dark and say, still no source based ROMs can be flashed with safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] !Led*Eyes!:
You may want to ( if you arent already) let the rom sit for about 10 minutes after you flash it and the modules and not boot it right away... Food for thought
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
No
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chile81:
I saw this yesterday while playing around with GE on slot one. I lost SS and the phone would only boot to stock ROM. Safestrap showed installed, I tried reinstalling with no effect. It only cleared up after I unplugged my phone.

If I was able to help ya out, show me "thanks" !!!! happy flashing open sourcers!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I can only assume you are rooted on ME7 or MI1 so will not ask that question. Are you running the latest versionof SS? I believe it is 3.62. If so did you try DL a terminal app or plugging in to PC and trying to reboot into recovery via ADB? It may not hurt to check and see if root stuck when rooting. Not sure if a wipe would help or hurt you but could try that as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] !Led*Eyes!:
Therer are currently problems with SS right now... Give it just a while.. You can still access your phone though right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
What kind of problems? I'm using Safestrap to run Hyperdrive 10 on my MI1 phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CorleReeFer:
I already have root... I am more concerned with being able to use custom ROMs and kernels... and also just with customization... Wanam Xposed allowed me to get a little customization as well as Flash Gordon... but I would like a custom recovery.. With time hopefully. . Just as the at&t & Verizon s4s were allowed to get using the motochopper method
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] !Led*Eyes!:
Well like you said, you already have root so your pretty much at the point everyone with ME7 is. Safestrap 3.6 is great if you dont know about it but right now they are debugging it a little because it wasnt giving " clean wipes" and leaving people in bootloops. if you really want you can get the apk off 4shared.com or i can email it to you just pm me your address. then just install it if youre up to it. just make sure whatever rom you flash has the same build (preferably). EDIT: SS is just fine!

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Scratch that. Solved... So you lost your root on the me7 or you just cant put a recovery on? If i understood you right, all you need to do is re-install SS and install the twrp recovery again. dontuse the button combos to ge tto recovery just reboot and hit " recovery" when it comes up... unless there is something im missing? sorry i have too much going on at once but thats over now haha

If you have KNOX on your Galaxy device and you have rooted it, you’ll see a verification message that pops up every time SuperSU is called for action by some apps on your device. The message runs like this:

“SuperSU tried to access system in your device without authorization. This action was blocked”.

You can get rid of this annoying thing easily by disabling Knox service and its agent apps.

Disabling KNOX Using Terminal Emulator

This method requires root access on your device.

Download and install the Terminal Emulator app on your phone or tablet.

Launch the app on your device and grant it root permission when prompted.

When you see the command box, type the following command:

su pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

Doing this will disable Samsung Knox on your device

OR

Alternative Method To Disable KNOX

Download and install an app that is capable of freezing system apps on Android devices. Titanium Backup is a good option. Open TB when it is installed and freeze the following apps:

com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation

com.sec.knox.eventsmanager

KLMS Agent

KNOX

Knox Notification Manager

KNOX Store

Hope that helps

Well it was weird, it happened when I had my phone plugged in. It didn't really worry me at the time cause it was booting to stock. Figured worst case I would go through uninstall process. But right after I unplugged my phone SS worked and has worked ever since. o.O

I have since deleted and recreated ROM slot 1, re-installed Hyperdrive and booted back and forth to stock several times with no issue. I'll play with it plugged in tomorrow and see if it becomes an issue again.

I feel like when I delete files I am not reaquiring that space back. I am on ss 3.6 and jellybeans 7 running in slot 3.

for example I deleted 1 gig .mkv movie from (i think internal) and the free space is still 500MB.

when I delete from the extsd card those values seem correct. Does SS use .img mounting??? is there a way to clear the "recycle bin" - tho I know that is not on linux....idk whats up.:confused::confused:

quick question

Couple newb questions please before I try flashing my first ROM....

When I do Wipe Data/Factory Reset does this wipe only the slot I'm working with or does it do the stock ROM also?

How do I get my important apps back? Do I have to reinstall them from scratch or can I restore them using Titanium?

Thanks for your patience!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
Make sure you activate ROM slot 1 and them wipe. It wipes whichever slot is active. I used titanium to reload my apps and I had no problems at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
Most roms will download your apps from playstore automatically now. Titanium is not all great dont use it first see if store downloads apps for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wreckwriter:
Thanks guys. Backing up stock ROM now then will give HyperDrive a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mysterfix:
You can restore a saved rom to stock slot or install fresh just make sure you reinstall SS and recovery. Once both are installed it works exactly as before.

If you reboot and don't see SS recovery option you will need to open SS and reinstall recovery.
