Safe strap 3.71

I am all but delirious today and have finally winded down on my att s4 and it's been nine hours. I had SS 3.72 installed and was running the very nicely done and polished Deadly Venom SS edition and I wanted to fart around with other touch wiz roms and so I tried re flashing graviton on my i337 that was on NC1. It didn't take and due to fatigue, I ended up in a 5 hour hell trying to flash other touch wiz roms. I hit a snag when my wife got KOed but then I got it back to the NB1 band with the MK2 modules and I figured that I would give Wicked 10 a shot with SS v3.71. I flashed it with ease and I'm still too noob to not know what triangle away will do so I'm not touching it. I'm using an i337 but it reads 5xxx in the about section. Whatever. I've used CM 9, 10, and kk nightlies on my note 2 due to the bootloader being unlocked, as well as carbon rom before going to pac man kk nightlies and finally running pacman rom on 4.3. Right now I'm on 4.3 and I finally flashed wicked 10 and man...I really underestimated touch wiz roms. It's super fast and while you have to to some of your own tweaks, it's just shy of an aosp rom as far as out of the box features go and since it's made however it is, I just had to add att apn defaults but man, I was all up on the s5 Kool aid but now that I'm somewhat proficient with flashing roms, I may have to keep the s4 because this 4.3 rom kills all of the aosp based ones I've used when it's all done and set up properly.

I'm having sort of the same problem as Zac

4.4.2 NC1

Root with TR

Busybox and Supersu installed

SeLinux set to permissive

SS 3.73 installed

Have no problem getting to SS recovery.

I can't make a backup though! I always get FAILED "can't mount internal storage"

I've tried rebooting recovery when I get that error but it's always the same thing again and again.

I just want a good solid backup of my stock before I flash anything because I know the custom rom needs to be flashed over the stock slot.

Cannot successfully install SS 3.72 or 3.65

After flash a fresh stock version of 4.4.2 and rooting successfully, I downloaded SS 3.72 and installed. SU grants it access and a 'installation complete' message flashes by, but SS continues to display "State: Not installed" and "Safe System: Not Active."

I uninstalled and re-installed SS 3.72 but had no success.

I tried installing SS 3.65 but the same problem occurs.

I had a look through the thread to see if anyone else had a similar problem but was unable to find any entries. I apologize if I missed one (or several)--it is late at night and I'm not as sharp as I should be...

Any ideas on how I might solve this problem?

Quick question guys, how do I prevent the screen from dimming and powering off when in recovery? Its so annoying.

Every time I do a backup I keep forgetting the the screen will power down, which in turn, will not complete the backup (or whatever it is I am doing) until I unlock the screen again.

EDIT: Nvm, I found it.

For anyone else wondering about this, boot into recovery then go to: Advanced>Settings>Screen then un-check 'Enable screen timeout'

WiFi will not turn on

I did a completely fresh install of 4.4.2, root of it, install of SS, and install of Super-Nexus-4.4.4 ROM on my GS4 NB1. I also installed the following updates:

- Super-Nexus-Update-090114.zip

- ATT_NB1_modules.zip

- Flashable_Stock_Android_4.4.zip

Since installing, the WiFi has successfully activated once. I tried installing I337_UCUFNB1_Modem_RockRatt.zip. Unfortunately, this did not resolve the problem.

Any ideas on how I might solve this problem?

UPDATE: I saw a Joe-Tech posting of Aug 3, 2014 @ 9:42 p.m. that mentioned to do hot reboot to keep wifi functioning. Sure enough, I tried it and it worked. Is this just a work around or is it a solution?

Hey Venom. I would really like to try out your ROM on my S4 Active (AT&T model). I am on another carrier, in Mexico, but my stock firmware is MF3. I was wondering if you could tell me what other fixes I need to flash along with your ROM so as not to have any issues with wi fi, bluetooth, phone service or anything else. I've already downloaded Deadly_Venom_v8.2.0_ATT_MF3 but 'm hesitant to flash it cause, well I'm a complete noob and I dont know what else I need to flash. I hope you can give me the insight I need. Thanks in advance.

I've had to odin to stock 4 times, what am I doing wrong?

I'm having an issue, trying to flash a safestrap version of pure nexus on my ATT galaxy s4. I'm rooted with selinux set to permissive running shostock 8.1 (ss of course) and when I wipe data/cache/system everything seems fine, no error. Then I installed Joe-tech's 4.4.4 pure nexus rom and the log says it installed fine, but I became suspicious because it took less than 15 seconds.It loaded nothing, I mean I remount system in safestraps settings, then head to file manager to check if anything in /system was installed. I get nothing, nada, 0 sum, other than the etc/app/bin directories. so I try to solve the problem in this order: mount system and reflash - nothing, fix permissions and reflash - nada. Reboot safestrap and reflash - error cannot mount /system! or format! or do a restore! I am at a loss.

I luckily made a backup right before I attempted this. But I keep needing to use odin and I337UCUFNB1_TWRootable_Full_Odin to return to stock, then reinstalling root with towel-root, then safestrap, then retrying the process. I got fed up and installed safestrap and restored my shostock 8.1. that's the only thing I can do.

what do I do?

I turn on phone - safestrap says disabled

boot in shostock - selinux is set to permissive

reboot into twrp recovery - try to flash rom to stock slot, log says it's fine

(Should other rom slots show in ss? I know there should only be stock slot with KK, so I don't touch that option)

flash su 2.0.1 - that seems fine

flash modules - fail,fail

reboot phone - stuck at Samsung s4 logo

flash with odin - fine

ok. i'm going to start saying that i haven't flash a phone since 2010 so if my question sounds stupid that's why.

ok so i'm trying to flash my galaxy s4 4.4.4 version I337ucufnj4, i rooted the phone flashing I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel with odin then towelroot. after that i flash it again to NJ4.

now im trying to flash a ROM for the firs time in my Galaxy s4. in order to have a recovery i need to use safetrap right? so i download safetrap, busybox to make it work as stated and also the terminal emulator to change the SE status with the "SU" (enter) "setenforce 0" but nothing is happening the SE Status don't change, also downloaded the SELinuxModeChanger and still nothing.

is there any other way to change the SE status to permissive to make the Safetrap to install?

(this might be the stupid question) i have KNOX but i force stop it. is Knox not the one not letting me change the SE status?? Do i need to uninstall it in order to make the safetrap work?

Thanks for the response but after seeing post after post after post i can’t find anything on how to make safetrap status installed. Everyone problems is about ROMs compatibility or problems flashing.

My problem is making safetrap status installed so i can reboot in recovery.

I know SE for android has to be in permissive for the safetrap show installed on status.

I downloaded busy box and installed, also installed terminal emulator and used commands "su" (enter) " setenforce 0

But my phone still on enforcing and haven't change to permissive.

After seeing that that didn't work, i search around and found the SElinuxModeChanger but no change on SE.

then i saw on a forum that Knox can block all this steps i tried so i Download NoBloat Free and uninstalled all Knox related apps/files repeated all steps but still nothing SE still on enforcing.

Anyone have any ideas of what can be causing this problem or how to fix it?

thanks

I am in the same position. Evidently from what I'm reading, if you flash nc1 on order to root, you are supposed to install safestrap before flashing to nj4. Apparently it won't work if you flash nc1 then root and flash nj4 before you install safestrap. As I read other posts, it seems that if you install safestrap prior to flashing nj4 & after the nj4 flash,the safestrap app will force close but your recovery will work. At least that's how I'm figuring. Am I right or wrong guys?

I think i know ur solution, mine has the same thing with Galaxy S4 and as for the unlock splash screen, it just comes if you just rooted or something and also to get into safestrap you need to let it boot normally and when it says Safestrap : Disabled, you just click the menu and it should take you to the recovery.
