Problem

OK, so I installed HyperDrive, at least I thought I did. When I try to reboot (first reboot) phone powers off and only pulling the battery will get it so I can reboot again. No lights, no activity at all. I have waited 10 minutes.

One thing I don't completely understand is what we are supposed to do with the modules zip. I tried installing it after installing ROM but still did same thing.

Stock slot will boot, slot 1 will not :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelg117:
Was able to restore a backup of HD10 to stock.

No issues so far, did let it sit for a few minutes then rebooted.

Many thanks ?

Problem was the kernel. Somewhere I saw instructions that said to use the Safestrap kernel. Didn't work for me but choosing stock kernel did. Now I have a red phone, not sure I like the red.... Thanks guys!

Unrelated but this captcha on every post thing is hard on a guy with bad eyes....

inconsistant reboots

When I reboot from Hyper it will usually boot to my stock ROM. Safestrap is installed on both sides, sometimes it works??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
Is your phone on the charger when I reboots to stock? That is a known issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Why is safestrap on both sides?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wreckwriter:
To try and fix it booting into stock ROM without showing an option for safestrap. Should it not be?

As for charger, not sure, maybe? Will verify.

[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] when 4.3 comes, will you be planning to update SS for flashing 4.3 roms? Just curious if you were planning on doing this :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klowdhaus:
Hey all, got a new S4 with VRUAME7. First Android for me. Right now all I'm looking for is essentially a custom recovery. Not planning on installing any other roms just yet. Just want to play around and mod the stock rom and be able to backup/restore in case something happens.

I just have a few questions be fore I go ahead and install it. Sorry for any noobishness.

What exactly does this mean? Is this the recovery that Safestrap installs? As in you can't remove it safely once installed?

Are there any issues that could cause problems if I'm only using it to do backups and restore if needed?

Also, does Safestrap startup on every boot? Or can I set it to auto-boot stock rom and only show it's menu when I want it to?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klowdhaus:
It does, thanks!

However, are you talking about this snippet for removal?

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh.bin /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh
rm -rf /system/etc/safestrap
rm /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
ln -s /firmware/image/q6.mdt /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
mount -o remount,ro /system

That gives some insight into what it's doing on install, but that script does nothing to /recovery. Does Safestrap do anything in /recovery? Just want to be clear.

Delete/Clear Rom slot

How do i delete/clear rom slot/ROM? I am not having luck finding a straight answer.

I am not liking the ROM and want to only use my stock rom. I will leave Safestrap there incase I want to try one out again later but just want to get back to as if I never installed a ROM on safestrap.

Do i just hit "wipe" then "advanced wipe"? or Format Data?

Or do I need to hit "Advanced" and do something from there?

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
[MENTION=268585]Tahoe[/MENTION] Dan if you want to keep the slot then yes just do a wipe or if you don't need the slot then you can just delete it entirely
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tahoedan:
Thanks. I want to deIete it. I just reread hashes first post and think I got it.

~activate stock rom,,, then click on slot to be deleted,,, then click on delete under nickname. ?????

Right??

It is scary cuz since the stock slot is active it seems actions made are directed to that active slot.

I would think a prompt would come up letting u know the name of the slot u are deleting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Activate your stock slot then go to.slot you wish to delete. Instead of hitting the activate button you just hit delete. Then slide the button and done. Go back to stock ROM and reboot bingo bango all gone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tahoedan:
Thank u.

That was painless.

So now to keep safestrap installed but get rid of the boot screen do I just open safestrap and select "uninstall recovery" ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I wasn't able to get rid of boot screen without completely removing SS. I believe that is the inky thing that's failed in all.his attempts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tahoedan:
Ill give the "uninstall recovery" a try.

Otherwise the boot screen is cool with the funky dude.

Well, "bad" is a matter of interpretation. To full and correctly answer this question here's what you need to understand.

Samsung Knox is a new design initiative where Samsung utilizes the SE Linux Kernel in forced mode. Basically, the S4 prior to 4.3 used permissive mode, which means the Kernel could be used with SE on, but wasn't required. The SE Linux Kernel Modules were developed by the NSA (Thats right the National Security Agency) in 2000 for the Dept of Defense, and were designed to allow kernels running them to be forced into certain policies, much like a domain server and Windows.

So, now for the part of what this means for Samsung, and what this means for you....

Samsung has started a somewhat silent initiative to essentially finish RIM (Blackberry) off, and take over the enterprise market. The problem is that until this version of Android, with Samsung Knox (restrictive SE Kernel modules) no large enterprise customers would be willing to use a Samsung because of its lack of security, and ability to lock it down. So, now Samsung can market their handsets to large enterprise markets who can manage their employees device usage and experience.

Whats this means for you: If you take this update you are essentially forcing modules on that are designed to prevent people from hacking, cracking, or in any way shape or form bypassing the "stock nature" of the device. Now, am I saying that someone can't ultimately root it? No, of course not; however, my personal opinion is that the 4.3 update will not be rooted for a long time, if ever.

safestrap with MI1

Hey guys,

I've been trying to find a concrete answer and spent the last 2 days lurking and reading but I cant seem to find a solid answer

my question is can I install Safestrap and use it to flash Hyperdrive onto my S4? I'm on MI1 with a 0x0 knoc counter and I'd like to keep it in an unvoided state. I rooted back on ME7 and then used voodoo OTA root keeper to keep my root when I updated to MI1.

So my phone is rooted, my knox counter is still 0x0, and i want to install safestrap (and hyperdrive rom). is this possible without tripping the knox counter to 0x1 and voiding my warranty?

thanks a lot!

and I apologize in advance if there already is a straight forward answer. i just couldnt find one after searching the forums and google.

Blank boot fix.

Ok just in case this helps anybody new with blank screens i found my problem.

I was mdk till i need a replacement, it semi luckily came with me7 and not the later m1i, so i rooted and safestrapped.

Trying to install hyperdrive i was getting blank screens anytime I pressed continue on the splash screen. I was freaking out, I though that was something i should do, but I was apparently wrong. If I let the 10 seconds go I bit right up.

If anyone wise has this problem try not skipping the count and see what happens. I was pulling my hair out just to get the rom going and now I have mods on to with no issues yet.

Hope it helps. I couldn't find the same info when i searched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mad3963:
So, I'm not even sure how this happened, as I haven't booted into the stock ROM since installing HyperDrive RLS10 when it was released, but my S4 update to 4.3 MJ7. SafeStrap no longer shows up in the stock ROM app drawer, but yet the SS splash screen still comes up and I can still boot into HyperDrive.

WIN!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
So did you boot back to stock then it updated or were you on hyper and it updated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mad3963:
My bad, it was late, I was tired, misread. My phone didn't update to 4.3. I forgot I flashed the MJ7 radios. That's what I read.

Still, more often than not, when rebooting, it boots straight to stock, rather than to the SS splash.

What would be the best way to restore my phone to factory settings and remove SS? When I first rooted I went kinda crazy and deleted all of Verizon's bloatware and some Samsung apps with TB.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MadFunnyBruh:
Quick question, there are 170+ pages and kinda hard to read, mb the question was asked mb not. I am new to rooting scene and trying to learn/read as much as possible.

So anyways, when I am creating a slot to flash a custom rom, it gives me a choice of memory 1-2-3 gigs. So where does this memory goes? Is it like the internal memory of that slot for custom rom I created?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yes. What SS is doing is creating a bootable partition in your internal memory that way you have a completely safe system and a system you can mess with. If you leave the stock partition alone then essentially you cannot brick you phone in any way. Hope this helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Yes, the memory is used by the slot rom you are creating per given slot and the memory is deducted from your PHONE's memory - NOT external SDcard - that is not supported as of now.

Can 4.3 stock install on a SS slot, therefore preventing any new BL locking 4.3 may implement?

4.3 stock uses same Kernel and modules as ME7... right?

I'm on ME7 with SS installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Won't work. 4.3 introduces a new kernel and even on Stock 4.3 installed, safestrap currently is not functional for a recovery or any features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MadFunnyBruh:
thnx for replies guys. Here is another question. I backed up my stock rom yesterday and today I installed Titanium Back Up and deleted some stock apps on stock rom. Apps like Amazon etc. So question is, if I will restore from my back up, will those apps be back or not? not that I need them, just thought to clear the stock roms and use it, rather then flashing custom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PetrichorXFi:
I'm not sure i understand.

If I upgrade my VzwGS4 from ME7 to 4.3, can I install SS to allow me to install another rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuckintheskull:
No not yet.

If you backed up the stock apps before deleting them in Titanium and then go and restore your backup, Yes, they will come back. ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
I wouldn't. What's the benefit? SS isn't going to care if you're on MDK or ME7. MDK has Loki. By staying on MDK you can do both/either/neither/whatever. :)

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Contrary to popular opinion Voodoo couldn't care less what your su binary is. It'll work just fine with supersu. I own the pro version so clearly I use the built in functionality (or did before I got the GPE to which it's now completely irrelevant if I protect root or not) but it'll work with Voodoo no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jayrod76:
I thought that SS would be awesome to have when I first got my S4.The ONLY thing that this offers over what Loki does is the ability to have multiple ROMS ready to go with limited fuss. However, the same can be done with just TWRP,provided you keep good backups. I'm relying on SS as a safety net in case something disastrous happens to my MDK S4 and I am stuck with an ME7....unless I somehow am able to get a Dev. Never again shall I make this mistake and get a carrier variation.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
But like I said, there's no reason at all someone on MDK couldn't run SS and use the same roms as someone on ME7. So it's irrelevant. If you're on MDK, stay there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
This was my line of thought as well but I guess im just wondering how SS would work for both MDK and ME7 I figured whatever SS would hijack would be particular only for ME7. Also since Im not sure of SS's ramifications on Rom development/mods/theming etc and if it would change or matter based on if you had SS recovery or were loki'd. I figure development will be more rich for SS and ME7 users if SS development is successful so that was the reason I was asking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
The hook won't be specific to one update. Hash isn't going to want to rewrite it every time an update comes out for a supported phone. :) I mean it's always possible that some future update breaks the hook he uses. But that's affecting future updates not the current ones. But SS doesn't care what version of your stock OS you're on. The kernel may present a challenge but I find it hard to believe that it's sufficiently different between MDK and ME7 to break functionality with a rom considering both are 4.2.2 Android based. MDK is going to give you the most options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jayrod76:
Basically,I was stating that I don't see needing SS on my MDK as much as I thought .The way I have my TWRP backups,there isn't a whole lot of reason for me to run SS like I originally thought...but,that's just me.

Creating and Restoring Nandroids takes a good while where SS it takes 10 seconds more than a reboot. For locked devices the splash screen is a savior from softbricks. But it doesn't make any sense for an unlocked device to run a SS developed for a locked device.

Now I have asked Hashcode about developing SS for unlocked devices and he's interested in doing it. Thinks it'll work with sdswap and everything. It's just about finding the time to do it. I think I used up all my "requests" from him anyway by getting him to help with the S4.
