Could you please link to the thread on developer edition kernel for retail device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Clearly, its not that help is lackluster....we so many of these same postings everyday because people did not take any time to research what they are doing. The fact has been long established that TW stock base roms are the only ones that work with safestrap. And if you dont have a mdk base phone you have no choice but to use safestrap. ss 3.70 will allow 4.3 andriod roms based on TW and right now we have HD11 as the only one that meets the requirment.

btw, I posted a step by step guide in the general section how to go from ME7 to MJ7, rooting, safestrap and HD11 install. Talks about odin process and adb process, both really are need to be understood if you venture into the world of modding your phone. Search functions do work.

Is it possible to re skin a touchwiz Rom to look like aosp?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
Eclipse looks like it's somewhat skinned like aosp but sounds like it needs some work to work with safestrap. If I get time I'm going to try it anyway on mk2 safestrap on Thursday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
I think the Rom has to be based off mj7 or mk2 to work on safestrap 3.7

Looks like eclipse is based off mdk

Ok i seem to be the only one having a problem -.- I was running MI1 rooted and used Odin to get on MJ7...I used the vroot method in order to gaij root and i now have SuperSu, so i went ahead and downloaded safestrap 3.70 and installed recovery but it didnt boot into recovery after the reboot and even if i power off and power on it still wont boot me into recovery...help??

Merry Xmas to me.

Finally safestrapped 3.70 my MK2 and loaded HD11 on it, wifi working, etc.

It tells me there is a ROM update to 12 tho, but everyone in this thread who is using MK2/MJ7 seems to be on HD11.

Is there a reason nobody took the rom update, and should I be avoiding it?

I know the community working hard to just GET safestrap to work and a ROM in slot 1, so Im awefully glad for just that.

But I don't want to screw it up by updating if it s a no no.

Otherwise have a great christmas all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cyrushehe:
The only reason I haven't updated is because the download is going slow. I've been downloading it ever since I got the notification that it's out. I've read some good experiences and some bad, worst comes to worst, just don't delete the 11 zip and wipe/install 11 if 12 fails.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
You should check out the Hyperdrive thread. For some reason HD 12 isn't compatible with Safestrap. It is being worked on, but definitely do not try to flash HD12 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
a question:

1. after installing safestrap by using whatever method, do you open safestrap in hit "install recovery"? It is a 2 step process. Install the apk, then open the program to install the recovery

Quick question, when I go to install a Rom into slot one it looks like there isn't enough storage and the activate button stays greyed out so I can't select. How do I get it to activate?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well i didnt see the updates about the kernel issue for HD12 , and not to install.

And i also want to say I had HD11 on my stock slot, which i know is not recommended.

So anyways...now its bootlooping ok no problem I head back into SS and see about

restoring. None of my backups are working out. Ive tried multiple times and my S4 just

bootloops. After a bit my phone went into stock recovery on its own, so i wiped cache and rebooted. still nothing.

Boot Loop City.

Any reason other than I had HD11 on my stock slot that things arent working out for me?

My backups should have brought my phone back to life but no.

Ive ran on my stock slot on my Razr with no problems at all. Is this just another pain in the a$$

SELinux - Enforcing brings to the table or what?

Welllll looks like ill be hopping into Odin Mode and handling this. And I guess then I can try SafeRoot as well and give that

a try. Then toss SS back on, Hey whatever I like this stuff, I was bound to screw it up at some point.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

HD12 for safestrap loads and runs flawlessly now on SS3.70. I do have a step by step guide in General section for going from ME7 to MJ7 with links to saferoot and odin/adb info...I haven't updated it to HD12 scenario yet. Just remember to install kernel module....Merry Christmas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
I posted this in the middle of the night but can anyone answer this please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Yea Ive seen your guide, much appreciated.

Eveything was running fine for me and I was already on MJ7.

I had SS 3.7 On there and HD11 was running perfect in my stock slot. I then tried installing HD12 on there and thats when i ran into problems

I did a full wipe and installed the modules and it kept bootlooping.

So i tried restoring from a backup...same deal bootloop.

Had to Odin back so I guess im just not going to throw HD on the stock slot again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cyrushehe:
There's a Safestrap specific build of HD12. Look in the downloads section for the MJ7+ base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
This may sound like a dumb question but did you create this slot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Thanks I didnt see that earlier. Im downloading it now.

Anyways...after I Odin back to MJ7 and threw SS on i was then able to restore an earlier backup i had made of HD11 on the stock slot.

Im not sure why I couldnt restore it in the first place instead I had to Odin first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Any confirmation of HD12 working out in the stock slot as we had to originally do with HD11? I've spoiled myself and like the space savings by running my main rom in Safe-Side "Stock" if at all possible.

Note: I was one of the first to download and report the drastic failure of the 1st release of HD12 yesterday evening when trying to flash to stock side and just want to make sure I don't have to play the ODIN shuffle again, lol :cyclops:

I certainly will. Sorry I wasn't able to to grab that or any other data as I was just in a hurry to get this phone working again and get Christmas under way lol.

Hey one more question while I have you.. What actually trips the knox counter?

I've already installed HD 12 (the wrong version wrong kernel) by accident on my stock slot.

I've Odin back couple times now.

I've seen others trip it by doing far less than I have and I'm still at 0x0.

I know a custom recovery will trip it on my girls sprint S4 and that makes sense to me. But what about us SS Verizon folks?

I know this isn't the forum for knox but just a quick question.

Im not sure on the bootloop but their is an issue with ext-sd format where safestrap can't read it. Hashcode is aware of it and looking for fixes. II reformated my extsd card to FAT32 on my my computer SS3.7 no problem with reading it.

on the bootloop, the phone never gets back the safestrap screen at all?

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

SS 3.70 has issue with format on ext-sd card. Hash is aware and looking for a fix. I reformatted mine on my computer to FAT32 and no problem with it reading it now. I copied all the data off the card first and then after formatting, reloaded it all. You may have a couple apps you may need to reload as I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gator Brah:
FYI if you reformat your SD card to Fat32, you will only have access to a maximum of 32gb storage on it. it has to be exfat if you have a larger sd card and want to use all the storage

Thanks for the response decaturbob! I figured he was already aware but I just wanted to make sure it wasnt just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
generally speaking doing app and data restores between platforms is never a good idea....the little time it takes to have playstore reload isn't too bad when compared with headaches when TIbu not doing its job

as for HD12, even if there were a few more 4.3 compatible roms for safestrap, be tough to find one better. Devs do their best but its done on their free time to accommodate,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gator Brah:
The issue is not doing restores between platforms. the same backups restore fine in the stock rom. The problem lies either with Hyper drive, which is based on the Note 3 rom and has users experiencing the same problem on that phone, or with SS. The fixes that helped the note 3 users do not help at all in this case. My guess is that this is SS related... Safestrap is not able to mount an exfat formatted SD card. my guess is that with my Tbackups being restored from the SD card that some of the app data is being lost in translation. The rom itself mounts the SD card no problem.

Next thing to try will be performing a restore off of some apps from the phone internal storage vs the SD card and see what happens

You won't lose half of the capacity - it'll still format as a 64 Gb device.

The only serious limitation of FAT32 versus exFAT is that fat32 limits files to 4Gb.

Good evening everyone.

I have a question. I just got my s4 yesterday evening. It unfortunately already had mk2 on it when I got it.

I rooted with saferoot and everything was fine. I then installed ss and still all was okay. I haven't done anything but reboot to recovery and look around. When I came back, I couldn't turn on wifi.

I have NOT flashed anything as of yet. I searched the thread to see if I could find an answer.

I flashed the mk2 modules and still the same result.

Any ideas???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gator Brah:
This is all on the stock rom slot correct? Id try clearing cache/dalvik cache. other than that i dont have any tricks you could try. Maybe uninstall SS and see if it works then.

I had a similar problem earlier but it was after restoring a backup image. i wiped the slot and restored again, no probem. If nothing else works you may have to odin back to MK2 and try again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] clipsruck:
Do you know where I can find a mk2 odin image? I'll try wiping cache/dalvik and see if that helps. I tried uninstalling SS and rebooting and that didn't help. I will probably flash HD12 and see what happens. lol why not?

But thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thornev:
Not being able to turn on wifi is typically a result of a mismatched rom and kernel. Check in Settings that you really do have mk2 because if you don't and you flashed the mk2 kernel, that would explain your problem. Why you had no WiFi without flashing anything I don't know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oldwolf613:
k1mu, thanks so much for that! I was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms from my flashing/modding habit… ;)

but seriously, if I have to format my ext SDcard, I need to back it up to my p.c.; & earlier today I was about to do that (backups are always a good thing) but when I opened my file manager - PowerDesk Pro, it didn't see my phone; would I need to be in Download mode make for the phone's file system to be viewable? PowerDesk Pro has a nice util that copies directories, their structure & contents fm one place to another.

Worse comes to worse I suppose I could always take the card out & pwt it into a usb adapter… just curious, 'cuz in the Moto world, the drivers made the usb connected phone visible in PowerDesk… & R guess R have to get used to a new way to get things done…

thanks in advance, oldwolf

I had the drivers, b/c I prev checked that Odin would be able to see my S4, & it did. In Odin, it sees my phone when in Download mode; so will I have to take the card out of the phone to have it viewable as an external usb drive, or will other file mgrs see the

HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?

Push the APK up to your sdcard.

Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.

Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button

THEN, open a "file explorer" of some sort (even TW "My Files" will work)

Browse to where you pushed the APK

Click on it and install like normal

Once installed, open the APK

Grant SU access

Use the "Install Recovery" button

All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using
