theres only one at the moment and since we know it boots up what other relevant information can you give this man at the moment other than clogging the thread, its in beta for Christ sake :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
Normally, the perfect way to update Safestrap goes like this:

- Boot to stock ROM (in this case some people have HD on their stock ROM and that should be ok)

- Open the current Safestrap APK

- Click "Uninstall Recovery" button

- Exit the current Safestrap APK

- Use a file manage to find the new APK on your device

- Open it and install

- Once inside the new APK click on "Install Recovery".

Done

Thank you for clarifying that, and also for everything you do. This device would be pretty dull if it wasn't for you.

That's what i was asking sorry if i worded it wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
If I backed up the stock Rom and now I want to replace it with Hyper do I have to delete the stock rom first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
Treat it like a typical custom recovery. Wipe data and cache, flash the rom, then flash whatever module that coincides with the stock software your running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
I already saved the stock Rom and now I'm running Hyper but I wanted to back it up in the place of the stock Rom. Not sure if I can or not, I tried saving Hyper but it still says stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
I'm kind of having a hard time following ya. When you say it still says stock, are you talking about the slot in SS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aevans88:
Will this work with the MK2 update that i just recieved?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelg117:
Yes, but if not MK2 will allow you to Odin back to MJ7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aevans88:
flash the kernel module after whichever rom i flash? no matter what build the rom is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yes, you always flash the appropriate kernel module after the ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I think you are referring to "Safe Side" where we can flash , say HD RLS11 currently if so desired. ??

If so, yes, Safe Side will always say stock regardless. No worries, just remember what ROM you loaded to it, lolz :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelg117:
You guys think flashing HD 11 on stock me7 with appropriate modules would work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Thanks for clearing that up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
Don't worry about that, that's where the stock rom "should" be. Like I said before, just treat it like a typical custom recovery. Don't use rom slots 1-3, they dont work yet. Just use the stock rom slot. If you need to restore a backup, wipe the data first then restore it in your stock slot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
Thanks man.

I'm sure I'm not the only Loki'd guy who wants to use Safestrap. I may try this over the weekend (TWRP and custom rom installed) if no one else does before me. I have a feeling it'll work. And worst case, an Odin should get me up and running again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Good deal Thanks for the info
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
Do I need TWRP installed to install this and should I still backup my system before doing any mods since this doesn't replace my stock rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Safestrap has TWRP has part of it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] barrmulio:
Backups are always recommended

Safestrap currently uses a twrp base so there's no need to install twrp. It will allow multi boot by toggling between your stock rom and up to 4 other rom slots you activate in safestrap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
Thanks guys. Just rooted and ready for the next steps!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
How should I back up? CWM needs a custom recovery so I can't do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
Thanks. I took the plunge and installed Safestrap over BoneStockRom. Now I have a Safestrap TWRP recovery and TWRP recovery. Kinda neat because they're two different versions.

I just can't find anywhere to make slots. I've looked through every setting and there's nothing there except the settings found in regular TWRP. I may try this again on a stock rom if I can't get it working on my current one.

Edit: I feel like a dummy. I had a old TWRP theme on the sd card that was apparently for an older device. I couldn't figure out why Hashcode would make a scaled down green TWRP. Deleted that and now I see boot menu in Safestrap TWRP. I'll find another rom, make a slot and try it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Should work. Uses a separate partition or slot and doesn't touch stock partition. MDK Roms should work without needing the ME7 modules. But, note. I haven't tried it myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
See my edit above. It was my fault.

What exactly does the ME7 module do? I'm on a ME7 baseband. I just updated manually.

It'll be later tonight before I get to test it but I'll try it out tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] barrmulio:
Backup in safestrap is twrp compatible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Is SS compatible only with 4.2.2 TW based ROMs? I attempted to run SS on a 4.3 AOSP build and while the app works, says it installs recovery, and boots the new splash screen, attempting to go into recovery simply yields a unresponsive black screen. I know this isn't the main purpose of SS but I thought it would be worth a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Billabonged:
I'm pretty sure it just gets WiFi working on the ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
Successful backup using Safestrap. Now I think I will give it a few days to see how the Hyperdrive ROM is working out then go for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
Yes, the latest beta

I was only on stock for about 30 minutes, long enough to root, and install SS. I unfortunately didn't back it up either. Going to try a fresh flash of HD11. I did select the "slight volume hack", which always worked fine on 10.0/.1/.2. Flashing now without that, see if it helps.

I get that SS is beta. I also get this could be a HD issue, but people specifically asked if HD11 was working for me. I'm stating my only issue, so that if people flash it, they know it's a possibility. I will know if it's the "slight volume hack" or not. I've had some FC issues from restoring apps in TB also. I'm starting fresh, see what I get. I'm assuming if there was a broad audio issue in HD11, it would have been noted by now.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] besjr69:
I thought I'd jump in here and share my experience so far. First off, thanks Hashcode for your amazing work. I rooted my device using the saferoot method. After disabling Knox and freezing a few other apps, I installed SS MJ7 beta. I was able to boot into the custom recovery and make a back up of my stock, rooted ROM on my extSDCard (after reformatting on the phone). After reading through the entire thread I decided to try out the Eclipse S4 TW - 4.3 MJ7 rom in the stock location (it is TW MJ7 based according to their site). After wiping system, dalvik and cache I installed the rom and installed the module files in post #1091. I rebooted the system and no luck. After some troubleshooting I realized I'd softbricked my device. I odin'd the stock MJ7 full wipe image and now I'm back to stock. Hopefully more ROMs will be supported in the future. Not a fan of HD11. I prefer the AOKP look (it is NOT AOKP) of the Eclipse ROM. Anyways, I want to thank everyone for their help. I'll continue to monitor this thread.

Can anyone tell me how to delete old backups made in Safestrap please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsadev:
You can just delete the desired backup folder inside the TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXXXXXX folder. Otherwise I believe you can select restore in SS and delete backups from there.

UPDATED THE OP WITH A NEW SAFESTRAP FOR BUILDS: MJ7 / MK2

WARNING: I RECOMMEND DELETING ALL ROM SLOTS AND REBUILDING THEM ON THIS VERSION

This will correctly create the system partition images complete with stock signature information.

- Added support for new rom-slot system partition creation method to pass verification checks (THANKS [MENTION=2322344]evilpotatoman[/MENTION] for sharing the verification check info!)

- Added "Instant Stock" button support during the Safestrap Splashscreen. If you press the "HOME" button you will instantly boot to stock without having to go into Safestrap. NOTE: This is a temporary selection. The next reboot will go back into the current "active" slot.

- Added hijack rules for skipping in recovery and charge only modes

[2013/12/16] ALPHA for SElinux Builds

- New hijack to support safestrap under SElinux!

It's in the KNOWN ISSUES list atm. I don't have exfat_*.ko modules anymore in these new builds. By loading these I normally can get EXFAT sdcard support. I'm researching how it's being read in the ROM so that I can duplicate that in Safestrap.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
For my tests I used HD11. So it probably is a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
I'm going to take a stab in the dark and figure you tried to install it to a rom slot. There were a ton of posts in the thread stating the current version of SS is only allowing flashes to the STOCK slot.

1. Flash the stock MJ7 odin image

2. Root via Saferoot

3. Install SS

4. Run SS, install recovery, reboot to recovery

5. Wipe EVERYTHING except SD card.

6. Install HD11

7. Install MJ7 Modules.

8. Reboot

9. Profit

In my trials and errors, I'd like to say that restoring apps (with or without data) gave me tons of problems. I think it may be apps that were originally on my sd card. I can not say what the problem is, but I'd be careful with that. Also, I had sound issues the first time. I don't know if it was a bad flash, or if it was the "slight mod hack" in aroma that caused it, but I had *no* notification sounds. Music, etc all worked, but it was an issue with the notification system.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mtsprite:
By default encryption should be turned off. The module.zip is a flashable zip file that contains the kernel modules for your Version of the phone. This is used to get things like wifi working, since the kernel dosent have these modules with it. To install it just flash it in recovery after you finish flashing the rom of your choice.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dobrah:
+1.

I just got my GS4 a few days ago, one might say I'm less than happy with touchwiz. Like I'm on the verge of throwing this phone against a wall. I'm pretty surprised that the bootloader is so locked down - I was under the impression that those days were pretty much over. Granted my last 3 phones were all unlockable when I got them (HTC incredible, galaxy nexus, nexus 5). I switched to the GS4 from the N5 on T-mobile for verizon's wider-reaching service, but I'm starting to wish I hadn't. I can put up with no data while traveling for a better user experience.

To add to this, however, I tried installing CM11 and CM10.2 to no avail (both in ROM slot 1 and the Stock slot). Had the correct MK2 modules and everything. CM11 shows a black bootscreen and hangs, requiring a battery pull, and CM10.2 stable has the glitchiest cyan colored bootscreen I've ever seen and also requires a battery pull, as it never got past the bootscreen in 25 minutes.

I got a question. As it looks like I can install to a rom slot now in MJ7 I'm thinking of plunging in

1. I'm setting on ME7 and will need to flash to MJ7 and root. If I use the MJ7 tar file that is full wipe, I don't need to do anything with the existing safestrap install or rom slots correct? Odin install will completed wipe and repartition over everything correct?
