Losing Wifi on ROM slot 2

OK so I've tried 3 different ROMs. I've tried wiping and also deleting ROM slot 2. But no matter what ROM I load on there when I try to connect to Wifi it freezes for a couple seconds and then resumes by shutting down my WiFi toggle options on my phone and reverting to 4g. Suggestions?

Ok so I got a replacement SGS4 from Verizon.

1: I Odin'ed back to MJ7 with the complete wipe.

2: I rooted via saferoot

3: I put on SafeStrap 3.71

4: I installed Recovery

5: I booted into Recovery

6: just did a check to see if I could see my Nandroid..... and I couldnt.

7: I went back to the old phone and it sees the Nandroid No problem.

I have a 16 Gb Sd card I believe it is in fat 32 and not Ex Fat Although I am not sure.

Why in the world can one phone see it in Recovery but it can not in the other phones Recovery. Both Recoveries are 3.71

What Gives?????

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Not for sure yet but it seems the two devices may have different back up folder locations....

if so.... thats weird.

trying to find out now.... I will update when done.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Confirmed the two devices make different backup folder locations.

one is TWRP\BACKUPS\65d7af76

the other is TWRP\BACKUPS\d259cb59

All I can figure is depending on your phone is what Safestrap generates to be your backup location.

Very Strange.

Soooo I put my old Nandroid in the new directory on the new phone and it worked perfectly.

I am curious as to why this is like this though. It really threw me for a loop. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thornev:
I think it's obvious.. So you can use one SD card to store backups from multiple phones.

So I'm getting this error and I can't figure out why. I tried cleaning up everything on my stock slot and the room slot with no luck. Any ideas or suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
My suggestion (which is a pain) is to Odin back to stock. Re-root. Install safestrap and flash rom. The reason I suggest this is because your misc file storage is huge. This could be from leftover app data and so on. Im not sure of a quicker way to clean it up. You could manually go through and delete the misc files but that may take a while. Sorry I don't have an easier answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
Yea... I kinda knew it would come to that lol. I at least wanted to take a day or so and try to figure it out. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
I hear ya there. Most of us hate the thought of using Odin and having to start from scratch. I wish there was an easier way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
I know that feeling haha. My only issue with that is that I did just Odin and start fresh a couple days ago. Also ES is showing that I have plenty of memory...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Do you only have one ROM slot active? Any backups stored in the internal memory?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
One slot only and no backups at all. No other slots created or anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
I would take a peek into the misc files under storage and see what's taking up so much space. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
O yea... About that... Nothing shows up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Ya Im at a loss right now. Not sure what would be causing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
I think I got it now. It's showing what's used for that slot only I think and my data I made isn't that big
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Thats a good thought. I haven't used safestrap in a while so I'm a little rusty but I think you're on to something. Maybe you can back up your ROM. Delete ROM slot. Create new slot with bigger data partition and restore backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] racketier:
I'm running SS 3.65 on my MJ7device. SS is not reading my SD Card (it says 0MB when I try to access it).

It's a 32GB microsd formatted to exFAT. I'm fairly sure it worked fine with SS before, not 100% certain. Should I be experiencing issues with exFat on 3.65?

Looking at the OP, I see there was a exFAT fix for 64GB cards released in v3.71, but it also says that version can't be used on MJ7 yet. Is this related?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeadlySin9:
I believe the issue on 3.71 with exfat was due to a module change. Did you make sure it's mounted in the mount menu?

Saferoot, necessary or no?

Running an MJ7 i545 Verizon 4.3 version with root. I want to install Safestrap and the corresponding kernel .zip. My question is related to my root. Do I need to have root through saferoot for this to work or is just having root good enough. I've got my Hotspot active and use a play store toggle/widget to turn it off and on, just some info about my abilities I guess. Was considering doing all the research/due diligence to get the MK2 build with 4.4.2 on my phone but it sounds to me like it may not be worth the trouble, your opinion? Eventually I want Kit Kat 4.4.2 or whatever it is at the time and the ability to flash custom ROMS. Am I way ahead of myself here, cause I know the whole custom ROM thing on MJ7 and MK2 versions was not even a consideration a month ago.

Thanks for all it is that you guys do for the rest of us, you make our dreams a reality!

I can't get Foldermount working with Safestrap on my rom slot 1. Would that be a safestrap issue or foldermount? I don't need foldermount if there is a way to swap internal with external memory while using safestrap.

Can I just factory reset my phone instead of using odin? I am having the same issue with the miscellaneous files, except I can see a lot of files in miscellaneous. 1 gig or so that's showing. Going to clean house re root safestrap create the biggest single rom slot aside from stock and restore backup. Already deleted slot 1 and created a new one/restored yesterday. Though it did limit me on the data at 4 gigs when I had 1 gig left showing available. Only going to use 1 slot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeadlySin9:
Factory reset should work, just make sure you back up anything you want on the internal storage to an external SD our PC.

[MENTION=4410813]mshawn3[/MENTION] couldn't quote you from mobile because you quoted the whole OP which you shouldn't do on long posts. But just having root is fine. However, there's no way for you to get KitKat right now or anything besides 4.3 Touchwiz ROMs. MK2 is another 4.3 build.

Is quoting the OP a space issue or a personal safety issue? I apologize my mistake. Thank you for your response. My only other question, is it possible to put safestrap on my device and flash roms with it since they run over the top of the original?

Factory reset did not work for me. Can somebody show me to where I can download the Stock I545VRUEMK2 4.3 Verizon Galaxy S4?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeadlySin9:
It's a space issue, just makes it annoying to scroll when there's a long quote. You can just edit the quote to like the first paragraph or so or just use a mention in cases like this. Also, Safestrap should work just fine on MJ7, just make sure you get the corresponding modules.

Hello all. I am getting unbearable lag on Hyperdrive RLS13 - every 10-20 seconds the phone will freeze up for 5-10 seconds.

Posting here because I have two phones right now - one on the old build with TWRP and one (new one replacing the old one) with safestrap. Same rom, same phone but the safestrap one is laggy.

This is my first time having to use safestrap....is it expected to be somewhat laggy because of the method by which it bypasses the locked bootloader, or is something wrong?

Thanks in advance for help!

The problem is that when I try to boot SafeStrap into recovery mode it just comes up as a black screen. On that black screen I can click where the buttons would be either boot to recovery or continue, but I cannot see them. If I click continue it will boot as normal, but if I click where recovery would be I get touch feedback, but it just goes to another black screen where I do NOT have touch feedback.

Upgrade from 3.70 to 3.71

I'm sure this is answered somewhere else in this thread, but I can't find it.

I have Safestrap 3.70 installed (on MK2), and I have hyperdrive 14 installed into Slot 1.

I'd like to upgrade to 3.71 to take advantage of the exFAT fix.

How should I upgrade? Uninstall using 3.70 APK, then install 3.71 APK? WIll upgrading cause me to lose my slots?

Also, does 3.71 fix the issue with restoring Apps+Data using Titanium Backup?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
Help!

I've been searching for hours and I just don't see this laid out clearly. What can be wiped once the stock rom is backed up with SS (3.71)? The backup file is huge (6.7 gb), so i'm thinking once the stock rom is backed up, we can wipe a chunk of the internal sdcard to free up more space for slot 1. I won't be using more than slot 1, so i'm looking to maximize the space for slot 1.

So, the question: What is the biggest list of items (cache. dalvic, system...) we can wipe after the stock rom is backed up to the stock slot? I'm ok with wiping sdcard data if the stock rom backup has everything in the backup. Where do we do this wipe? Do we do it from SS recovery or from inside a rom installer like Hyperdrive 14 (what I'm looking to install into slot 1)?

I have all my apps/data backup up with TiBu to the external card, so restoring is easy.

THANK YOU to whoever sets me straight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It has been reported that you just install the 3.71 apk and your slots remain intact.

As far as restoring apps and data with Titanium - that's not guaranteed to work, and is really a ROM issue, not Safestrap.

Make sure you're using an up-to-date Titanium Backup with the restorecon fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ricovox:
Thanks, and you are right on all accounts.

3.71 can be installed simply by launching the new APK and clicking install. Slots are preserved.

Regarding the Hyperdrive TB restore issue, I was using the most up-to-date TB, but it still didn't work. I found out that I had to manually download the restorecon file and place it in /system/bin. After I did that, the restore process worked flawlessly!

Thanks for your reply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hollywood67:
Also just put on ss3.71 on after following above instructions.

best rom slot size

so that^ means that if your only going to use one rom slot, maxing out the sizes would be most beneficial?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ricovox:
The easiest way is probably to use a root-aware file browser (e.g. Root Browser or Root Explorer).

In Root Explorer you have to click "Mount R/W" to be able to move or copy/paste a file into that folder. (I'm not sure if you have to remount the partition like that in Root Browser or not). Then you would long-click the file and change its permissions. Hope that helps.

For anyone who doesn't have restorecon, look here.

I recently installed Eclipse S4 TW Edition onto Rom Slot 1...I now have an issue with internal storage. If I look at the storage on the device, it shows that 14.xx gb is being used by system memory under Miscellaneous. Has anyone else experienced this and know how to clean it up. Currently, I cannot move any apps to SD due to no available space. I have a 32 gb SD card inserted.

I've had safestrap for a minute now, still on 3.62 and never had a prob, use vzw gs4, me7, wondering what the difference is with the 3.65 version. Besides that, I installed gltools.apk tonight and now I cant boot past the safestrap screen, I dont wanna flash a new rom... I was navigating thru the SS file manager and found the uninstall zip for gltools, Is there anyway to execute that zip from the SS file manager, or terminal command. I really dont wanna lose all my data. I never had this prob til i installed the gltools and my device froze, after batt pull it wont boot past SS screen... Thanx in advance..

After browsing a little more in SS Rec. Im curious, I was trying to find a way to execute the gltools uninstall.zip, and I noticed that I can select install, then that file. however, I dont wanna execute until I get sum confirmation. Due to it saying it can cause problems, Will I still be able to access SS Rec. if it doesnt go how I think. Whats the worse possible scenario if I due that...

I would just like to say I was faced with a problem booting past SS logo, due to the gltool.apk However, after finding the uninstall.zip for the apk, I executed it thru the SS install and now im booting up fine again.
