I installed the 100% stock zip and the DeKnox both from your how to root thread, wiped data. Safestrap App still will not open up on that one phone and crashes with a force close. Now, the force close takes a lot longer to happen. (The app stays on its initial black screen for a couple / three solid seconds before it force closes. When this problem first happened it would force close immediately after getting to the black screen. How hard would it be to add logging to the app so that it created / overwrote a text file with information on how far it is getting in the load process? (Maybe not worth your time, but just thought I'd ask.) Or, could you tell me what files, where and what permissions the app installs the safestrap / recovery binaries to so that I can see if the safestrap recovery has something funky with it? I can still boot into SafeStrap, so I'm glad that it works, but I can't remove it and reinstall it...unless there is a manual method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
It's odd that it works on one phone but not the other, weird. I will post a manual work around later tonight. The last time we had this issue the app was attempting to confirm the version# and when it couldnt access the bin file it would crash. Likely same issue today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I just added a way to manually uninstall safestrap to the "known issues" section of my OP. However I suggest that you try to downgrade back to NC5 using the full-wipe NC5 .tar: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

Then update back to NG6 using my 100% Stock, Rooted ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vrahn:
Can someone tell me which safe strap I need?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PantsFullOfGuns:
I would like to know this answer as well I am ready to give safestrap a try and install a costume rom but I had a few questions. Does this basically keep my old rom still in storage and waste space up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dasmooveone:
Try 3.72..it works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Since you are already on NG6 you will need to downgrade to NC5, root, then install safestrap v3.75 from here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/updated-safestrap-i545-kitkat-v3-75-rom-t2905885

Upgraded to SS 3.75 a2. I can't get any mobile data even after flashing the NC5 modem and modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danveB:
Im experiencing the same problem. Hope there is a fix for this. For stock slot, mobile data works though.

Funny data works for me on stock slot. Cant promise i will be able to resolve but i will look into it tonight.

Have you tried soft rebooting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkglitzman:
[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] thanks for all you've done so far.

Here's what we're looking at

Expected flow:

Start with stock oem NC

use towel root to root

Set a estates to permissive

Install safestrap

Flash supersu from recovery

Reboot update supersu

In safestrap create rom slot

Install rom

Reboot.

Symptoms of bug:

After rom installation on slot1, android reports that it is unable to find service. WiFi still works though.

Roma used: eclipse and hyperdrive; both have been confirmed to work with prior versions of safestrap

Hope this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Thx for your help. I am aware of the issue and have pulled the new apk. Unfortunately I don't know if I will be able solve the issue but I will keep at it.

Does this still apply in 3.75? The stock partition, which i dont use, is taking up a ton of space, and my custom rom partition is quite small and would like to move everything over to the stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I've never had an issue at all restoring a custom slot backup to factory or vice-versa. In fact, I just restored a backup of Echoe 36.1 to my factory slot. As always, you better have a backup just in case.

And make note that I'm only talking about versions 3.72 and 3.75. I'm currently running a test build of 3.75 and it works fine to restore also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shag_on_e:
To be able to run ROM slots more easily, I formatted my 128 gb sdcard with a 10.2 GB ext4 partition and used Link2Sd to move almost all of my apps, including big games so I now have over 7 gb of free internal space. It required a ton of backing up and moving data, thank goodness for USB 3. But it is really nice keeping two ROMs side by side. I am very appreciative of the devs continuing to keep this going.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
So what was the issue with 2.8.0.1? I just built 2.8.0.1 for our device from source last night using the NC5 kernel, I haven't had any issues...I don't plan to release this yet since I made it quite insecure (made safestrap boots the ramdisk in Permissive mode and I neutered a lot of selinux policies....basically all I could + unsecured mounting)

Did you build 2.8.0.1 using a different kernel NC5 or?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
2.8.0.1 was a botched experiment for me. It was based on NG6 but no longer a priority for me. Glad to hear you were successful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Droc1983:
How can I get my phone back to stock? I am having issues with safestrap and I would rather just put it back to stock and leave it that way. My phone is rooted but safestrap app will start but it force closes after it asks for super user permission. Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Just use Odin to flash back to stock. Sounds like you didn't follow the steps to install SS or are you on NG6?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppermintkitty:
Sorry to pull up a post that is almost a month old, but I'm having issues with my wifi on Hyperdrive rls19.

The gist of my issue is this: Wifi works fine on stock NC9 4.4.2 (upgraded using Sunderwear's method) but as soon as I install Hyperdrive on my stock slot in Safestrap 3.73 its gone. Everything else seems to work fine. I can't even toggle it on, it just immediately slides back to off

I have tried flashing many modems, modules, kernels, etc after seeing wifi doesn't work on Hyperdrive, but nothing works. I LOVE Hyperdrive and since I've now upgraded from 4.2.2 and can't go back I need a way to fix Wifi :(

I'm not sure if upgraded to Safestrap 3.75 & using a rom slot will help? Any other ideas?

Basic info

Phone: Galaxy S4 Active on ATT SGH-I537 (but model number in stats is I337)

I know out says the force clawed issue has been fixed in version A03 but I'm on NC5 stock rooted with 3.72 safestrap.

I want to update to ng6 but I don't want to before I know safestrap 3.75 is installed and I can backup my current rom then install NC5 TO NG6 zip file through safestrap and if it goes wrong the safestrap 3.75 is still valid and working and I can restore to where I Am now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Had a hardtime following your post but if you are asking if ss v3.75-A03 is fully functional , including backups and restores on both NC5 and NG6, the answer is yes.

Also, I just added a link to my KeepRoot method to my How-to Root NG6 OP if that is the method you are referring to and prefer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ryanw5489:
Had anyone had any issue after installing safestrap. I recent installed safestrap and now I'm having random issues. I haven't installed any rom yet but I'm having issues. My phone set some settings back to stock pretty much such as it switches my keyboard back and also I use Tasker and I have to restart tasker at least once a day. I don't even have to reboot for this to happen. It happens aleast once everyday!

I'm currently on 4.4.2 nc5

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
If you already have it installed and you're booting ok, then you're fine. There was an older .zip made before ME7 came out and that was causing problems. If the ME7 zip is used then it works great.

I'm must be blind, but for the life of me I cannot find the optimized stock kernel. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
So, can SS only boot on a TW kernel?

I'm on MDK, and wanted to see if I could use SS to dual boot AOKP and TW. Currently have Hyperdrive 9.1.

1st attempt, inside SS, set up ROM slot 1, and installed AOKP - latest unofficial 4.3. Rebooted, just a black screen. Had to pull battery to get back to recovery. Tried twice just to verify.

2nd attempt, went into TWRP, flashed ktoonz AOSP 4.3 kernel, rebooted. Goes to SS screen, then blank screen. Battery pull, try again. When it gets to SS, I selected recovery, blank screen. Try again, same result.

Restored backup from TWRP. Boots, makes it past SS, blank screen. Try again, select recovery from SS screen, boots to SS. Was able to select stock ROM and boot into hyperdrive.

Anyone had better luck with SS and AOSP? Using MDK bootloader.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Has anyone found a trick or workaround to have the SD card mounted in SS so that it can be accessed from a PC? I've tried toggling between internal and external storage mounting and also reinstalled my Samsung drivers.

Also, just an observation but Safestrap will hang sometimes while trying to enter it if the phone is connected to my laptop. It happens when the phone is plugged into the AC charger too but not nearly as often. The screen just stays black and nothing happens till I long press the power button then disconnect the USB cable and go back into SS.

Guys i installed the latest safestrap update 3.75 A-03 but now i cant make a nandroid backup in stock slot in safestrap. What may be the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
What is the error you are getting? System mount failure maybe? You have BusyBox installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danveB:
I go thru the process of backup. First data ia backed, then system, but before it finishes, it says backup complete and failed. Yes i have busybox installed. Could i try downgrading my safestrap version possibly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I've not ran across that before with SS. You could try an older version of SS to see what happens. Did you try to uninstall SS, reboot then reinstall SS and see if the error still occurs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
This is the 3.71 SS for 4.3 thread, not 3.75 for 4.4. I am assuming you are on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4? If you are on 4.3 use 3.71 SS.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
No stable SS for 4.4. That being said the version number above will work with stock slot only. Remember to uninstall recovery then Reboot in 3.75 first. Then install and Reboot 3.72 after recovery install.

Does anyone know y safestrap doesn't recognize that I have a system installed? I'm on NCG. I have 3.71 installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Did you try 3.75 A03? Which slot are you installing to? I've found that sometimes if I try to restore a backup to a clean slot then reboot then it says no OS exists. The workaround is to install any ROM, reboot then wipe and at that point I can install another ROM or restore a backup.

wipe, factory reset not working

Hi,

I'm noob in this topic, please scuse me if I do a very noob question.

I have a S4 i545 with NC5 firmware, rooted and SafeStrap 3.72 installed.

I'm traying to install Cyanogen12 in this device, every thing goes OK, but after I create the slot-1 and I try to wipe a Factory reset on it, the screen flash and no messages are showed :( I try it several times whit the same result.

asumming it worked, I proced to install the cyanogenmod12 and Gaaps, but when I reboot the phone in slot-1 it starts on the stockrom but the wifi and modem not work, If I reboot the phone in stockrom from the stock slot, it works fine again.

any clue why the wipe looks like not working?

thanks in advance,

sorry for my english.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
Assuming you're talking about the official Cyanogen ROM, you won't be able to run it on your device. Cyanogen 12 uses a non-Samsung based kernel and isn't built as being Safestrap compatible so it won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] akela11:
Thanks for the answer :)

I assumed this should work, because tere is a Cianogen 12 version (nigthtly) for this device

but, the wird thing is the wipe not working before install any rom.

any idea?

You'll need to install latest version of busybox. Then install Safestrap. Then boot into download mode and flash the downgrade with Odin in the AP slot. If u download and install nc5flasher.apk from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3120483 after installing Safestrap, it makes it easier because it boots u straight to SS without having to press anything (but do this b4 Odin). Once in SS wipe all but extSd, flash ROM (go thru aroma and make your selections and choose to do full wipe at the beginning for good measure), when aroma finishes don't reboot, uncheck the box and choose to exit installer, this will put u back in SS, wipe caches, flash NK4 Wi-Fi fix from gigilie, wipe caches, flash gigilies VZW-c-to-d-OTA fix, wipe caches, reboot system and hold vol.down to enter download mode, flash the upgrade in AP slot in Odin. Let it do its thing and Safestrap will appear to bootloop 4 times, IT IS NORMAL! And the rom WILL hang at the Samsung particle bootanimation for about 15 minutes THIS TO IS NORMAL! So b patient. U can uninstall SS by installing the apk then tap uninstall recovery to get rid of the SS 4x loop. Good luck!
