SafeStrapped Bionic..... Help

I have a rooted Moto Bionic, and I wanted to load one more mod before I upgrade. I was following a guide using SafeStrap, and must have messed up. I had issues setting the Rom Slot, and am sure I wiped my phone clean. I can not boot past SafeStrap and can not load a ROM because it gives me an error saying that it cannot mount. I am stuck..... can you help me get this phone booting? I dont care if I have to go back to factory, I just need this to boot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
You should ask this in a bionic thread.

This is for Samsung Galaxy S4 / safestrap.

From the sounds of it you likely wiped your stock slot and will need to reinstall from scratch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tonytevogt:
Help Reinstalling From Scratch

I had posted this in a Bionic forum also, but had received no replies. I thought I would post here since it was regarding SafeStrap. Can you point me in the right direction for detailed instructions for reinstalling from scratch?

Thanks!

This looks like a good thread. Just need to find the update and install (RSD).

If that doesn't do it review the threads in the Bionic General area of xda.

when slot-1 is activated then i mount /system is that "/system" stock or slot-1?

does safestrap save anything in the sdcard?

is there any folder or files that i shouldn't touch when i boot into slot-1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loveubuntu:
any help would be appreciated. Rooted the NC5 build with the new towelroot but can't get safestarp to work. I assumed that the AT&T KK 3.72 would work and some members reported that it does (if you can live with stock slot only which I can) but as I install the apk and hit the instal recovery, popup says it installed but the safestarpo screen still shows not installed state. Rebooting does not show the safestrap menu. Any idea?

edit: nevermind, it apears that the S4 works a bit differently than my Note 3. You need to use the app

So I have the latest SS installed and am on 4.3 on my GS4. If I wanted to install a 4.4 ROM (NC5) would I need to update my phone (stock slot) to 4.4 or can I just flash a 4.4 ROM into a ROM slot?

State: Not installed

Safestrap installs fine. However, when I tap "Install Recovery", the State is still "Not Installed"

I have tried many versions of Safestrap for my Sch-i515 Verizon Galaxy s4 ME7 and have rebooted. Also my device is rooted. Can anyone help me? What did I miss?

Thanks in advance

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
if you are ME7 then the only safestap to use would 3.65 I think which was for Android 4.2, cant use 3.70 as that was for android 4.3. and 3.72 was for att phones with android 4.4 though it does work with limited features on verizon android 4.4 (NC2/NC5).

Make sure your download was a good download for starters, verify that you indeed fully rooted. No encryption is allowed either. I have not heard of this happening on early firmware builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ScrubCity:
Still the same

I thought I did already try 3.65

and I did; the State is still "Not Installed"

I am 100% sure that I am rooted, I have never encrypted anything, and I tried using 3.65 from the goo.im link and the XDA link... so I think that I have a good download

Thanks for the reply, any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
if you tried all the different SS, how did you unistall? with 3.65 I believe you had to manually uninstall it....you will have to read thru this thread but I don't think using something TIBU to uninstall cleans it all out. Later I believe hashcode got uninstaller to work like on 3.70/3,71

suggestions?

Perhaps odin a clean ME7 full wipe and start entirely over

Removing Partitions

I've done some research through this thread and haven't been able to locate an exact answer for what I'm looking for - so I wanted to get a direct answer...

I've already got SS installed and running Hyperdrive. But in my ignorance, I didn't make the ROM Slot partition large enough. I wanted to create a larger ROM slot, but don't have the adequate amount of space to do so. My question is - if I wipe ROM Slot 1 and delete the slot would that effectively wipe out the partition so I can create a larger one? Would resetting through ODIN, to factory settings do it? Or am I just SOL?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
So you have some extra space and an undersized rom slot. Yes if you delete rom slot 1...you can recreate it larger and reload HD.. So what version of SS and HD you using?

Verizon s4 bricked after RSL17

:crying

Hi there. I decided to upgrade my verizon s4 to rsl17 since I received a notification that it was available. like a fool, I did not read to see if there was any type of update needed before installing rsl17. Now, the phone just has the kitkat hyperdrive icon on it just flipping. Being that for this we had to use safestrap, I tried to go into recovery but could not. How can I get the phone back to the way it was so I can use the backup I have stored on my sd card?

I am a novice at this (I just proved that this morning!!!) So, any help that is given please be patient with me...

Please help a fool fix her phone...

point me to Odin tutorial

Hello

It seems that I need to do a complete wipe of my phone and start over with safestrap because I messed up and installed the wrong version over and over again. I am rooted and would like to use Titanium Backup to back up everything, and then use Odin to wipe everything and do a factory restore. Then, I will install the correct version of SafeStrap, and get customs ROMS. Can anyone point me to a thread that can tell me how to use Odin for my Verizon Galaxy s4 SCH-15i5 ME7 build. I have googled and stuff, but I am unsure if I will brick my phone if I reinstall the wrong operating system again. As I said, I am rooted so I don't know if this could potentially brick my phone or what. I need to know can I use Odin, and if so, can I be pointed to a thread. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sharkie405:
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. It's a no-wipe tar, meaning that it won't wipe your data, but maybe that's not what you need wiped anyway.

Dumb question probably... but when I boot into Odin mode, should I already have the phone plugged in? Or should I boot to Odin, THEN plug it in?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sharkie405:
Have it plugged in and in download mode.

Odin mode and download mode = same thing. It doesn't matter if the phone is plugged in or not when you enter download mode. Just make sure to have the phone plugged in and let Odin recognize it before you hit the Odin start button.

i have a problem with my Xperia mini pro, if i flash to a firmware higher than gingerbread 4.0.2.A.0.69 my wifi dont work anymore.

How did i flash: SUS, PC Companion, Flashtool

Error/Problem Wifi:

If i try to activate Wifi (slide switch on touchscreen to ON) the message "activating wifi..." and nothing else happens. I am not able to scan for wifi networks at all or connect to one of it.

What i already tried:

Reset (with and without wipping data) - problem still exists

Repairinstallation via PC Companion - problem still exists

Repairinstallation via SUS - problem still exists

Send my phone to a sony service center - they only downgraded it to 4.0.2.A.0.69 and say the problem/error is not reproducible.

If i downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.69 (via wotanserver) wifi works again.

Is there a driver in sony ICS missing ?

I am looking forward to get informations or tips from you.
