If one were to not flash the jflite kernel posted in this thread, would there be any negative side effects? I am interested in getting the full potential out of Hyperdrive's battery life but I am certainly not seeing that great of battery and I assume it has to do with this kernel. Any opinions? Just want to make sure it doesn't do anything bad to the phone before I go ahead and re-flash :)

Thanks guys!!

I have really good battery life too with hyper drive and kernel patch. Just curious, I know it's off topic, but what governor do you run? And can you change governor control or no? My governor control doesn't seem to be working 100 percent of the time. Running interactive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
what ever the default setup for governor was with hyperdrive. I have made no adjustments on it.

Why is no one here mentioning the GPE ROM? The 'roms that work with safestrap' thread says it is compatible, is that not true? I've been on XDA a long time... guys usually flock to the vanilla roms in droves... but all I see people discussing here are other TW roms.

Also, I have been reading the last several pages of this thread, and want to make sure I'm understanding this right: you can use SS to flash a rom over the stock rom, without creating another rom slot (as long as it runsnon the stock kernel since no kernel can be flashed)? I have a 16 gb S4, and don't want to dual boot roms that are severely limited in data partition size. I would love to flash GPE in the stock ROM slot and not effectively lose half of my internal storage space... can this be done?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
It works I used it for a week I didnt like it. But it works and no issues. I guess I like tw stuff. As for you being on 16 I would just put one extra rom on. If you flash over stock first I would start over odin stock re root and dont add any apps or sign in then in slot 1 put gpe and set highest you can . You ahould have 10 or 11gb left on phone. Slot 2 add after you put apps in slot 1 then you should have 8-10 gb left.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coolhands4:
It was a bit buggy for me. I tried both Nitro's and Dubbsy's and they had their occasional hiccups that I didn't like. Dubbys's gave an option to fix the carrier label which was nice. But I still had an occasional random reboot, or a screen of death. If you want the GE look, check out Nitro's TW ROM. GE look with TW reliability. I used that one for awhile with zero issues.

i just posted the new kernel modules for MI1 users

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
Thanx but it gives no wifi on any rom that is not mi1. So what is this supposed to do? I triwd different baseband no go. You can only use mi1 baseband but only use me7 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Not sure what you're talking about, but I have MI1 with safestarp installed. Flashed Hyperdrive 10 with the MI1 modules and EVERYTHING is working perfectly. Including WiFi.

Thanks myfishbear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
i tried with hyperdrive have mi1 basband flashed mi1 kernel mod and no wifi tried with me7 baseband no wifi flashed me7 kernel mod and wifi came back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Did you take the full OTA update or are you just flashing modems/radios?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
it really shouldnt make a difference but i am not on update when me7 came out if you had mdk and tried using me7 kernel no wifi even with me7 modem or mdk how would taking the update make my wifi work? also 1 question in rom slots what is a good cache to use 400 mb 300 ect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
I'm confused. Are you still on MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
oh no i was before i had 16gb but i needed more space so verizon sent me a me7 32gb.

The other thing is when i flashed mi1 kernel its still same date as me7 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Then you must be doing something wrong. I had no problems when I was on ME7 and since the new MI1 module has been posted, I'm not having any problem with MI1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
what could i done wrong? any ideas. i would like to use the kernel but not baseband. baseband gives me a weaker signal compared to me7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myfishbear:
lol thats why it didn't work for you. if you have mdk on the stock system flash mdk modules. if it me7 flash the me7 modules. if you update to MI1 then this will work, otherwise use the me7 ones.. this is not the kernel itself. these are the modules for the kernel. furthermore the system info your reading is worthless because its just a reflection of the build.prop in the rom. so yeah use the me7 ones cause you didn't take the latest update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
.

You can't flash GPE roms on SS. Unless they use the ME7 or MI1 kernal. For GPE roms that aren't 4.2 based you need MDK or a GPE S4, not SS. Sorry, but you need to wait for KEXEC kernels to be developed for SS for also roms.:rolleyes::sly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
ok i got it the mi1 kernel you pasted is the full mi1 not mixed with me7 makes sense. does it help with phone and roms if i take update or just stick with me7 for now. ty sorry for the confusion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myfishbear:
they say the update helps wifi but i never had a problem with it. i personally didn't take the update hoping that someone gets that boot-loader unlocked. if it was 4.3 id be more tempted to take the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bast525:
Uh... supposedly the actual Google play edition rom works on the ME7 kernel. It says so in the thread for that rom as well as the 'roms that work on safestrap' thread. I'm not a noob dude...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Go for it! Is it the old 4.2.2 version? It may no longer be supported by [MENTION=5168775]Dubbsy[/MENTION]. I don't think that the 4.3.1 will flash with SS but you can give it a try:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
We wrote a special line of code to ensure that no safestrap people can install our OctOS until kexec and non me7 kernels can be used. It will fail install immediately.

Once non me7 kernels are supported we still won't be supporting bug reports from safestrap users. I've already witnessed the differences in bug reports from mdk to safestrap google edition. We don't have that kind of time when we are supporting 9 carriers.

If there aren't those kind of compatibility issues we'll support no problem. But if there is, if you want it, you'll learn to troubleshoot(which honestly surprises me more don't know how, it may just because Im a massive nerd, but troubleshooting and reading a log is easy)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Hey [MENTION=5168775]Dubbsy[/MENTION] I was trying to tell him it won't work, see 3 posts up and #656, but he insisted "I'm not a noob, dude..." LOL so I told him to go ahead. You can't save everone from themselves. :p

I am using my phone to look through the thread and have no reliable searching via the XDA app, but is there a way to completely remove safestrap (and the partitions) WITHOUT a computer? Like remove it all via my phone only. I'm obviously rooted and I have root explorer as well to go through all my files and whatnot. thanks!

ps- I see the manual removal via adb from the computer but I'd rather use this as last resort if possible

edit: I have a custom ROM installed in slot 1 and tried to just uninstall via the safestrap apk (from my stock slot) and had no success. must the slot 1 be clear for that to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
You can odin stock rom if your on me7 use that if on mi1 use that. Safe strap will be gone also remove your externel sd card because it will erase everything. Take any files you have on phone that you want and save them before you odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Odin doesn't format the ext SD card

Just tried safestrap for the first time on my new me7 replacement. I installed hyperdrive 10 in slot one and installed the me7 modules via this thread afterwards. When I booted up it just hung at a black screen for more than 15 minutes. Pulled battery and rebooted again with the same results. Am I missing something?

Delete the custom ROM slot and use hashcode's adb commands from Terminal Emulator while on stock.

Did you make sure you didn't reboot between installing the rom and flashing kernel patch? The other issue been bad download of ROM. I always DL to computer and move it phone extsd card. I suggest deleting ROM slot and start over.

That black screen is a doosy.. and can take up to 5-10 minutes until you get to the samsung setup wizard. Chances are if you pulled the battery during the initial setup (the black screen) you - I would wipe that SLOT and start over as you probably caused -some sort- of issue. good luck.

ME7 Kernel Module Flash

Does anyone know how much of the ME7 kernel is in the ME7 module that we flash afterwards? In Hyperdrive, you can install the a ME7 stock optimized kernel. By flashing the ME7 module afterwards, I assume that it is basically reverting it back to a stock ME7 kernel thereby losing the optimizations.

ok so im running Verizon S4 Mi1 and the 4.3 release is out. I need to uninstall safestrap to apply update didn't know before hand that uninstall via apk didn't work. I was put on this app via youtube video. im rooted and stock. not really familiar with abd but I got as far as adb shell su. I get the # thing but cmd no longer can see the device being connected after that. I typed adb devices and the device that WAS there isn't there anymore. any ideas.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
This question should be asked in the Q&A forum, not here. You don't need to unroot to install the OTA, but the phone has to be pretty close to stock. For stock images, go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nlcgadgetman:
My original question was dealing with how to uninstall safestrap. But I got that handled. But upon further investigation lots people are having errors with installing the new VZW 4.3 ota so I'll keep an eye in the q&a forums
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
The problems that people are having is that they've modified their phones (or are running apps that have done that, like Xposed) and don't realize it. If you've debloated, frozen, or modded any of around 1500 files on your phone, the OTA will fail. That's why it's best to flash the No-wipe before trying the OTA as it'll recover most of what you need. See the thread on how to do the upgrade and keep root for more info.

The commands in the OP will only remove the recovery.

Before you remove it, go back into Safestrap recovery and use the "delete" button under any rom slots you created. That should free up the space.

Regarding the encryption issue/warning.....

If I download and install safestrap BEFORE I set up encryption on my phone, will it work AFTER I set up my corp email (which requires encryption).

To clarify....I've rooted but have not yet set up corp email or encrypted.

My intention is to install safestrap in this state leaving the stock rom in its slot.

Once that is done, I intend to create a custom rom slot and install a custom rom.

I will then set up and use the phone with the custom rom as my daily driver. When I do that I will set up corp email (which will require me to encrypt).

In this sequence....will all be ok? Or with the encryption warning still be an issue for me?

I am trying to install the ROM GE v6.0 with ME7 running as firmware and through safestrap

WiFi will not work on the Google Edition for me even after using 2 different kernels (Stock and badassery)

I have looked through this forum / the GE forum and cannot locate a solid answer to this issue.

"You must patch with an me7 zip file" is what I have heard but I have no idea where to locate this said file.

What I have done so far:

1. Followed install instructions on safestrap site and here

2. Boot up, during setup wizard cannot get WiFi to turn on

3. Even bypassing the setup wizard I still cannot get WiFi to turn on

I have reinstalled the GPE ROM 4 times now (twice on each kernel) with no luck. Please help, I cannot stand stock OS anymore!

Question: I installed Safestrap on my ME7 GS4, and installed CFW Hyperdrive on ROM Slot 1. I need to return the phone to Verizon so I have since followed the procedure to remove Safestrap and flash stock ME7 in Odin. Do I still need to worry about hidden flash counter? I thought the flash counter wouldn't apply when using Safestrap as long as the Stock ROM Slot was left untouched (other than the initial root). If anyone can clear this up for me, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redbean25:
Not sure why you are returning it, but I've sent phones back in with custom ROMs on them and still got a warranty replacement. If you feel the need to do what you did, then you have done enough. The guys at the store usually aren't knowledgeable enough to read a "hidden flash counter". They verify the issue, and issue a replacement.

Possible bug found in v3.64 recovery.

When trying to flash the cobalt theme after a ROM install in a slot, it processes much faster during the flash and then when you reboot into the ROM, it reverts back to stock theme and not cobalt. :crying:

I haven't tested on any other themes as this is the one that has always worked for me in the past. I've re-installed Hyperdrive Rom and rebooted and have tried 3x now with same results.

Can anyone else confirm?

Confirmed. Booted back to stock (safe side) uninstalled Recovery, then safestrap 3.64. Re-installed Safestrap 3.62 and Recovery. Booted back to Slot Rom and successfully applied Cobalt theme *Note, this time the actual flashing of the theme took a couple minutes vs.s 20 secs. as expected.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lukegvoigt:
Excellent. So if I do flash a ROM to the stock slot, and something happens, then I CAN recover using Odin? You probably just answered my question, but I just wanted to clear it up. (I REALLY wanna be sure)

I was just under the assumption that if I did flash a rom to it, and it messed up, then there was nothing, including Odin, that could recover my phone.

Thanks Man!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
As far as I know if something did happen, you can still use Odin to recover. I have some experience with this as I tried to simply restore a Nandroid of Hyperdrive to stock side and it screwed up at system copy. I think due to me selecting the Optimized Stock Kernel initially but I haven't tried anything further since. I was able to use the No Wipe ME7 image to odin back to stock, re-root, install SS and start over. I'm back to running it in a slot as I haven't had the time to try a fresh install using just Stock Kernel which I suspect would be the difference as to my failing before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lukegvoigt:
I really appreciate your comment. I love SafeStrap, but unfortunately, I only have the 16GB model. It begins to really limit what I can do, even after creating a single extra slot(my own dang fault for getting the 16GB). I was hoping that I could flash a ROM to the stock slot. I know I will have to do it with caution, and it may not even work, but I am REALLY GLAD that I can indeed recover using Odin.

This is awesome. Thanks again.
