You can give Omega from the i9505 section a shot if Hyperdrive doesnt work out. Create a slot, install the ROM zip, then the kernel modules, then reboot. I disabled most of the built in Samsung apps and it runs great on my i337.

I'm going to give Sho's ROM a shot and if it isn't what I'm looking for then I'm putting Omega on my stock slot (but I've always loved Sho's ROMs so we shall see).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tazzyez:

im a noob

sorry for the noob question, but whenever i try to activate roms slot 1 it says i only have 12mb free and doesnt let me activate it. i have a 32gb memory card as well as another 6 gb free on my phone so im not sure what the problem is. Im using an ATT GS4 on MF3

Would there be any problem using hyper drive 12 under my stock slot of safestrap? I'm on stock Mk2 right now..I just hate the lack of storage with using the rom slot. Also using the latest safestrap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
It is not advisable to mess with the stock slot. Especially on a Beta version of SS.

Hello all. First time here, glad to be in the presence of so many technical geniuses.

I'm having a problem with installing Darthstalker on my safestrapped MF3 device. I have read Darthstalker is one of the best ROMs that will definitely work with MF3 and Safestrap. Whenever I try to flash the ROM, I finish the Aroma installer procedure, hit reboot, and when it tries to reboot the phone just shuts off and nothing happens even after waiting 10 min. I then have to hold the power button for 10 seconds and reboot to recovery to get it back to stock ROM to be able to use the phone. I have tried different ROM slots and I have also tried using version 9 of Darthstalker. The only thing that actually happened once was that the bootanimation music started playing, but there was just a black screen. I let it sit for 10 minutes and nothing. There was nothing different I did to get this result.

I don't know if my problem is that I need to go back to version 8. I have read for many hours and retried the process many times to no avail.

I have been able to successfully flash Deadly Venom and it is great, however I would like to try Darthstalker too.

Any ideas? Thank you everyone.

No idea... I believe someone got X Note (or something, can't remember the name) working well too. It's within the last 5 or so pages of the SS development thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tazzyez:
Thanks for all the replies. I downloaded the version of Hyperdrive for SS and created a new rom-slot. Hyperdrive installs without error and I used compatibility pack and mk2 modules. I get a black screen and boot loop. That isn't the weird part.

The space on my internal memory doesn't change showing that I installed anything large.

I start out with around 7gb and have almost 7gb once I'm done. I looked for SS 3.70 but couldn't find a link so I'm using SS 3.71. Shouldn't I lose that space after creating a slot and installing a rom in slot 1?

The space is being checked in the stock rom. Any help Thanks

Hyper drive 12 is just a no go so far..I've tried many times.I also wouldn't count on a making a stock backup with this and flashing over. ..that did not work for me and I bricked hard....The backup did not work after and I had to Odin back to mk2.I am.running the new.shostock version for safestrap mk2.its the smoother rom that really works.Darthstalker works well too.some others are hit and miss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RuggedHunter:
IDK what to tell ya...if you have SS 3.71 running fine, then you're definitely on 4.3...if you downloaded the SS version of HD and you're positive the modules are correct, did you check the md5 before flashing? You created Rom Slot 1, and made the partitions large enough? (default sizes worked for me.) You made sure to put both zips on /sdcard (internal), not /extSD (I think it should work here anyway with 3.71)?

I got nothing else... it's been working great for me! All I can think of is a bad download corrupted the HD zip...but the md5 check would've let you know....I guess each device is just a little different.

Flashing Modem question

I have recently rooted my AT&T Galaxy S4 which is on 4.3 with the MK2 modem. I tried to do the free sim unlock and it would not work. Is it possible to flash a modem like MJ6 or MJ9 using safetstrap to maybe get better results with the unlock? I wasn't sure if I could flash modems so I thought I would ask. With the bootloader so secure at the moment I will just stay on stock but I do want to unlock my phone to T-Mobile since the plans are cheaper.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 333arod333:
Can anyone please tell me what version of Darthstalker to run on 4.2.2 MF3 baseband?

I see everything is 4.3 now, should I just upgrade to MK2, safestrap, and try the new ROMs? Even though there is no kernel to flash for wifi, bluetooth function etc? I assume there has to be an advantage to the 4.3 since all the new ROMs are made using 4.3... but what is it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rSallyx:
Is there any 4.4 roms working for safestrap? I was going to try either virgin rom or Danvdh's Google Edition rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t4duzan:
A lot of those roms are for those not originally on MF3. I would assume they're on an international model, but that's just my guess.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

We barely have any roms for 4.3 so I'm guessing none for 4.4 yet. Only the lucky ones who don't have a locked bootloader, but I would rule out safestrap for awhile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hovax615@hotmail.com:
You would have to try to find darthstalker 4.2.2. The new safestrap on 4.3 can flash only a couple of Roms. I got hyperdrive 12 and I like it way better then darthstalker but that's just my opinion. There is a kernel to flash for mk2 to get WiFi working. Just be patient let the bugs be worked out and keep READING the forums daily so you can get more knowledge.

You said you are on hyperdrive 12..? I thought that wasn't for safestrap. I tried installing darthstalker version x, with no avail.. it wouldn't boot. just a black screen with the bluish notification light glowing. I am on MF3 4.2.2. any ideas sir?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hovax615@hotmail.com:
You can ONLY flash 4.2.2 Roms it says it in this thread if you READ through it. darthstalker x is 4.3, HD 12 is 4.3. You have to update your phone to 4.3 mk2 and use safestrap 3.71. For mf3 it is not recommended to use SS 3.71 because its only 4.3 compatible. Please do some more reading and researching.

Would just like to say thank you to whoever it was that alerted me I was using the beta. I let a friend install SS, since I was new to Android rom flashing.

You can run hd12 on your stock slot if that's what you want for everyday use. There's a guide to get back to mk2 but it's a hassle if you mess things up. You can only create a certain amount of space or data partition on ROM slot 1.

So i'm on mk2 and when I boot into slot1 nothing happens when i boot. Just black ... do I need to install a rom as well on the slot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jt1998:
You may want to read a bit more before flashing. If no ROM is installed in the slot you have active, nothing will run. So flash the compatible ROM desired into the slot1, followed by appropriate modules, then when you reboot, should be fine when SS installed and all goes well.

Could someone update this thread with some experiences related to the ss that works on FW newer then MF3?

I had to uninstall/re-install SS 3.71 after my first install in order to get a custom Rom to flash successfully. I also have to delete the Rom-Slot(not wipe) after every attempted flash, even if I am restoring a backup. Make sure and do a MD5 check as well, to make sure your download went smoothly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wtfmateim65:
Here's what I did. Took the MK2 OTA a couple weeks ago. Safestrap was still installed so i uninstalled. Then reinstalled 3.71. Phone didnt have enough space for a ROM slot so I had to delete the ROM slot. When recreating there were options to adjust System size,cache size, and i believe memory size. I think it was the memory partition that wasn't big enough so I was getting 'unable to mount /system' after flashing anything to that slot but it would still say done..then i'd just black screen boot loop on restart. After adjusting the parition sizes of the ROM slot I reflashed SHOstock v3.0 (the special safestrap version posted late in the shostock thread). Apparently MK2 modules are included and I didn't flash those. Everything booted and worked fine after a post-first boot wipe in safestrap.

First of all, your screen name is inappropriate and offensive. I am not sure how you were able to get that approved, as that kind of language is forbidden on this site.

Your question proves you have spent almost no time researching how to root your phone. Look up the general information forums for the phone. I promise the information is out there. Yes, it may take you a couple hours to look up everything you need to know. However, considering the risk of damaging an expensive phone, I would think that most owners would want to take their time researching this information.

Just a word of warning. The bootloader is locked on these phones. What you know from working with your HTC phone will not apply in this case. You really need to spend a long evening going through the many threads detailing what can and can't be done with these phones. There is no custom recovery if you brick your phone, and as of right now, there is no way to flash MK2 back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gothicasshole:
Understood and I don't see it as offensive... I do see that it's already rooted I found a script that worked ;) and I am aware of no Cwm :( but hopefully that will change soon!! I didn't get much of a chance to refuse the ota soon as it was fully charged boom there it was I do see there is also a safe strap method being worked on with mk2 possibly I'll give it a shot but this build is ok I'm getting used to the Ui but yea I have had my HTC One x+ and inspire (hd2) soft bricked bricked and back from the dead with a hot boot into recovery (that was fun) but yea I see this is a whole nother ball game I'm trying to learn what I can and while I was posting this I was reading 2 threads so I'm learning somewhat just bare with me for a Lil while till I get my head out my a $$ and get it wrapped around this new experience!

Remember that safestrap is still effectively in beta for 4.3; kings are still being worked out. It works fantastic on 4.2 because that version has been out for a while and the dev had time to perfect it.

I found a solution. So running safestrap 3.65 I couldnt make the data partition because it said I only had 12mb available despite having over 6gb phone memory. I installed safestrap 3.71 amd made rom slot 1 then flashed the rom and modules and had the bootloop issue so I uninstalled safestrap 3.71 and went back to 3.65 and booted into recovery. Since I already made rom slot 1 it was there. I flashed the rom again amd it worked. The deadly venom bootlogo kept looping for a couple mins before the rom started working.

If you are having trouble like I was with safestrap rebooting over and over after a rom install, what fixed the problem for me was creating a new rom slot then flashing the rom without doing ANY wipe accept maybe cache and dalvik.
