I'm very reluctant to try that. I believe the way this works is you must be on a 4.3 base for the kernel to match properly and have any chance at success, thus I believe trying from an ME7 base would lead to failure for sure.

Discussing a key feature not working directly aids development, even if for my own motive. I've been around the block, you haven't, so don't lecture me. Especially since looking at your post history you have multiple posts on this exact thread that have absolutely nothing to do with development. If you want to argue about this PM me.

Some beta results. . More to come if helpful, Hash

Thank you Hash,

I've beta tested this on the At&t model a lot and besides beginning able to allow you to reload gapps until you get the Roms going on my i337 model, at&t, it couldn't be used for what it was made but..

Some items of note:

#Cache can never be deleted

#It would be nice to be able to view a text file from file menu.

#In the log it would be nice if it could scroll left to read what's on the right

#It would be nice if it remembered settings eg file locations between installs

#It would be great if the memory used could be from SDcard eg application space

#Booting into Recovery I would think would try to boot into recovery for that active slot, but it does it for main slot. Wrong? Should there be a sep. one for the cards?

#I'm sure you know this but when to even look to RECOGNIZE the names of the at&t ROMS it failed. I tried several different ones, even stock.

#as such the ONLY thing the ROM loader recognized was gapps packages.

#Tried to use the Theme button hoping it would clear the owning logo on my screen., my new scarlet letter Thanks to [MENTION=381438]samsung[/MENTION] Mobile US and [MENTION=271250]att[/MENTION] but it seems to do nothing.

#installs and uninstalls piece of cake

#everything else seems ok but need more functionality to know.

#it would be nice to have an unzip function in there

#Also be able to connect to the pc at the same time to transfer files. I won't ask for wifi

(I came into this thread simply as a way as to fixing the real recoveryon my i337.. was coming up as *Recovery Booting.." now I think your app changed it to come up into automatic download of recovery, is that possible it did that? Any knowledge how to get back to real recovery. . Eg twrp (install says ok but something in os is stopping it)).

Thanks for all your work!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yes, it works perfectly! I don't know if the stock optimized kernel will work, but I chose the stock kernel and flashed the ME7 module Hash included after I installed the ROM. Result = Awesome ROM on my phone :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
I apologize if this has been answered before...

Flashing the new kernel will allow this to work with any rom OR there are still currently no compatible roms available?

If I have a Loki'd recovery, can I use this? Do I need to flash a stock recovery/rom/etc? As I understand, this doesn't replace the stock recovery so I'm unsure if I need to make any alterations.

I loved Safestrap on Moto devices. Being able to toggle roms is an amazing feature. Much appreciation for your work.

I meant to say kernels have match. Since you have to have the 4.3 safestrap loaded and running before you flash hd11..you need to have mj7 or mk2 as your base to install and initiate I suspect. We probably still need kernel patch once a ROM is loaded to get WiFi. Can't be in big rush here unless you want to do Odin a bunch of times.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
Ok so I loaded RLS 11 to SafeStraped 4.3 on MJ7. No dice. The ROM itself isn't able to boot (ie there's nothing representing the ROM loaded... just stock loads again) and I have no cell service or wifi.

- Also seems that the some of the default apps like Amazon just do not want to work... while the phone is idling it keeps force closing

- Wifi is doing the same thing it did on RLS 10.1 prior to having the ME7 patch where you can select wifi but it doesn't actually turn it on.

- Baseband version is "Unknown" which I know is why my cell service isn't working

I'll post more if you guys have questions.

**WARNING I AM NOT RESPOSIBLE IF YOU BRICK OR CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE BY USING THIS OR ANY METHOD MENTIONED TO REMOVE KNOX****

Masterbro, I removed KNOX with Titanium Backup using Chuck Norris mode on, had no problems. For those who are interested how: Run Titanium (I paid for it - not sure if the chuck norris is a paid option) - Once the program loads and you have no warnings (debug and unknown source warnings) go to APPS tab, click FILTERS, make sure USER and SYSTEM are checked, type in KNOX to the search filter box, hit apply. You will get 6 different items. First I did an app&data backup of all the items using batch mode, then I removed them all using batch mode. Remove them all. reboot. knox is gone. my phone never crashes and I dont get stupid "unauthorized warnings" or policy updates warnings.

So far beta is working for me on MJ7 aka 4.3 rooted (used vroot) - and no knox

What I did:

Ran SS, clicked uninstall/remove SS (even tho it was not installed) for ****s and giggles.

uninstalled APK

rebooted

installed SS BETA (released today)

ran apk, installed SS Recovery.

Used REBOOT TO RECOVERY option in SS BETA successfully

backed up my stock rom (which is rooted and has xposed services.jar & APK installed) to external SD -

Since RLS11 has DOESNT WORK WITH SS plagued on it discussion board I am going to attempt 10.2 over stock slot for now.

wish me luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
10.2 didn't work for me. This might save you an Odin. LMK if you are successful though..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djmcho:

Just confirming... RLS11 does work in slot1 but there is no WIFI right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
Guys, there's a known boot issue for ROMs atm.

Let me get that fixed and then you can experiment like crazy.

Not custom kernels, custom kernel modules. If that can be made to work, then Safestrap can use Kexec to bootstrap an arbitrary kernel.

As far as the user is concerned, it'll look the same.

And will this arbitrary kernel allow roms other than those that would function only with the stock kernel to load? Aka Google play edition aosp Roms?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djmcho:
you can restore if you soft brick testing the beta SS MJ7

I am fully restored, off the extSDcard, using SS-MJ7 beta. to review, I soft bricked and got boot looped by trying to use the beta to install HyperDrive 10.2 over the stock slot.

so to review... if you brick or fubar anything:

ODIN 3.07 and the MJ7 stock image (I used the NO DATA LOSS .MD5 - not sure it matters)

MJ7root.zip to root device (not vroot)

SuperSU was updated and detected KNOX ... and removed it for me.

Put in SS-MJ7-Beta (hashcode, can we get an official 3.X number for reference purposes?? please thx)

Installed recovery

rebooted to recovery

restored stock backup I made with the beta...

everything is good.

I requested the new rooting method for MJ7 be made it's own post/sticky. Right now it's buried inside the vroot posting. There are a lot of suspicions with the vroot... considering it wants to install an EXE (not a standalone exec, but an installer to get the exe) to your winbox and it's completely in chinese.. I dont blame anyone. I used it in a sandbox (avast) but still I am worried. It did install a lot of files considering its just an ADB interface.
