Can you pull the battery, reinsert and enter download mode then restore through Odin? That would completely wipe everything right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ss12108:
Might try that just in case. I'm sure I can guess when I'm in download mode and I'll be able to see on my PC if its working.

Lol after seeing a lot of other posts online about people taking their S4 out of their pocket and the LCD screen was cracked without any damage to the glass (seems everyone, including me, notices the cracks begin by the power and or volume buttons), I figured its a manufacturing defect that, until acknowledged by VZ or Samsung, is useless to me if it happens again. I missed AOSP big time so the Maxx is great. The touchless controls are amazing...my cousin was trying to show off Siri last night for some reason so I had to show him up with my phone 4 feet away from me and the screen off lol.

Thanks for your work Hashcode...I see you created a Maxx version of SS so hopefully there's some ROM development over there soon!

I am on ME7, have ss installed and rs10 on my STOCK slot. If I wanted to keep upgrading the kernel. Then I odin to stock update OTA to 4.3 and have to safe root, new ss, and can use TW 4.3 roms? This is a question, but I feel like I understand. Hopefully

PS or can I ODIN to 4.3? I assume not thatd be cool though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camparks:
Yes you can ODIN to 4.3. There are both wipe and no-wipe files in this same sub-forum. I would go with the MJ7 version. Users are having issues with SafeStrap upgrading to MK2.

MK2 and HyperDrive RLS 11

To anyone stuck on 4.3 MK2 build and baseband, I would recommend 3.71 safestrap and HyperDrive RLS 11. I had no problem installing this ROM, and it looks and feels great.

I was going to create a comprehensive set of instructions on this by tying a bunch of stuff in, but that would be too much work. All of the information is out there, you just have to read the forums.

Basically you need to root, switch on developer mode/unknown sources, download/install SS, download the kernel module/hyperdrive RLS 11, setup a rom-slot, install RLS 11, select from the dozens of customizations, then flash the kernel modules, and reboot. It is a steep learning curve, but worth it, in the end.

My best advice is to flash the kernel module about 5 times after you install Hyperdrive.

HyperDrive RLS 11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoBears:
If you let the device boot and you had ADB working you can just send the "adb reboot download" command and the phone will restart in download mode. Then just use the full wipe odin tar to go back to fresh mk2. Better safe than sorry.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
The only problem I incurred with updating clear to MK2 and installing HD RLS12 to Stock (Safe-side) which I know isn't always advised but I personally need the space, especially if I want to tinker with any slot roms is that you lose the ability to flash or restore anything to ANY slots with this setup, presumably since HD is MJ7 based and the bootloader being MK2 doesn't get along with the slots having it in the "stock" position. :silly:

Can someone provide me with a step by step guide to make a module for the gs4 on tmobile? I need a module and I have only gotten vague details on doing so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Boot your stock ROM. (When safestrap's screen shows up at boot time, press "Home" to go to the stock slot.)

Copy the files in /system/lib/modules onto your external SDcard somewhere.

Reboot into your custom slot. Copy the files from your external SDcard back into /system/lib/modules

Reboot.

If you're one of the people who flashed over your stock ROM slot, you'll need to get someone running the stock T-Mobile rom to get you the modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roote223:
Thanks a lot man. Will try soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
Anyone know if this would work on an S4 that is on the kricket network? A buddy of mine bought the phone when he was on VZW and then switched to kricket. His Baseband and Build Number are as follows:

Baseband: VRUDMI1

Build #: JDQ39.i545VRUDMI1

Root Method Used: Root De Le Vega

I know Safe Strap is in it's beta for MI1 but I was wondering if he used the Verizon Module to try this if anyone thinks (particuarlly the OP) this would work since it was origianlly a Verizon phone that was flashed over to Kricket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Craleb:
Hmmm. Are you saying if I installed hd12 on my stock slot that I will have to use Odin to get back to stock rooted? Restore won't work from my backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
People have put a tmobil Sim card and with the right APN settings it works. The phone is factory unlocked for Sim cards. As long as you have a Sim card for cricket, you should just need to input the APN settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I've successfully restored my stock backup into my stock slot after having rls12 running on stock slot.

I did however run into that issue once where I had to Odin back. But after that one time, I tested it again and was able to restore stock mj7.

It is risky, that's why hashcode doesn't support loading roms to stock slot. Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I can't say for sure as I haven't actually tried that procedure. All I can say is if you updated past MJ7 to MK2 and put HD RLS12 in your stock (safe-side) position, you are not going to have any luck in using your slots to install anything.

PS: I had to ODIN back when HD RLS12 was originally released due to it then not having the seperate SS compatible ROM .zip to flash. I was one of the early birds trying it with SS not realizing it hadn't been tested for SS users yet until the fix was released. This totally hosed me beings I use it in Stock replacement and yes, I had to Odin then and start over which I chose to stay on MJ7 and now am able to flash/restore ROMS to slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jsaxon2:
This is not true. I updated to mk2 and installed hd12 on stock slot. Since then I restored foxhound Rom in slot one with no problems. After about a week of use i backed up foxhound Rom in slot 1 and restored it to stock side. No issues. I have just installed omega 19 in slot 1 and everything is still working beautifully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
For some reason then, I had no such luck until going back and downgrading to bootloader MJ7 and starting over. [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] also had chimed in a bit in this and another thread as that being my likely cause so I went with it and am able to flash / restore to slots now, whereas when I had updated clear to MK2 then installed HD RLS12 to my stock, I had no such luck. Guess for whatever the reason, your mileage may vary. :confused:

Glad it works for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Craleb:
I just went for it with a backup I made of mk2 with the older safestrap version and it worked! All is restored. I kept having issues with hd12.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yamaha_wins:
thats correct. once I click the apk I get that error message "there is a problem parsing the package". build base is MK2, android 4.3

I have only rooted the device. Im very new to the galaxy s4. From my understanding of it, you have to have safestrap installed to flash other roms. I have flashed clockwork mod recovery by rom manager. but havent attempted to try and get into the recovery as of yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
You might run into some issues now that you flashed clockworkmods recovery. That recovery won't work on the mk2 build. You may get the "unauthorized software" message upon reboot. I would familiarize yourself with Odin just in case. As for the parsing error I'm still trying to figure out why you are getting that. Are you downloading straight from your phone? Have you tried downloading the apk to your PC first the transferring to your phone?

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

I took something that I do without thinking for granted here. Under settings\security do you have "allow unknown sources" ticked and "verify apps" unticked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
You can't use CWM. .probably why safestrap won't installed. Why did you think you could use CWM on a MK2 build base S4?

safestrap enabled, Hyperdrive driven
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Flashing cwm recovery wouldn't give him the parsing error since he's just trying to install the app...not the recovery. But I think he will have to Odin the stock recovery before safestrap recovery will install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yamaha_wins:
I have used odin alittle. but only by following directions when Ive needed it. Well as far as installing cwm recovery. everything that ive ever messed with has been able to use cwm. (touchpad, Droid 1, thunderbolt, galaxy s3,nexus 10).

So do I have to go back to stock everything? or can I throw a rooted stock rom on the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
You need to understand what you can and can't do with the s4.

safestrap enabled, Hyperdrive driven
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Unfortunately all those devices you listed had the capability of an unlocked bootloader. The s4 on mk2 does not. I would Odin back to stock (directions to do so are in these forums). Reroot and redownload the safestrap apk. Make sure you allow unknown sources and uncheck the verify apps option that I mentioned. The try installing the safestrap apk and recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yamaha_wins:

Bump
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcwilliams:
That's the biggest problem with ss. Great recovery don't get me wrong but it sucks that we have limited space to work with.

Anyways to answer your question.... no to my knowledge each slot has its own designated space. So removing stuff from your stock slot won't give you more space for other slots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nlcgadgetman:
OK then so correct if I'm wrong. What I need to do I clear all the space possible (maybe factory reset) in the stock slot THEN use all the space I gained in the initial partitioning process THEN flash the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
have an extsd card and move all your data to that. I have a 16gb with 32gb extsd card and have 3 roms loaded and running under ss with no memory issues to speak off.

I think the part I am having trouble with is the partition. How much is enough. I just use what it suggested. Thats all I had room for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Once I get HD13 up and running on Stock side with no Rom slots(to save space) with SS, could I make a nandroid of HD13? Then later if anything happens and I have to odin back with stock can I use my nandroid of HD13 to put back once running SS again?

Been running Hyperdrive with lots of mods (mostly theming) for over 24 hours. Absolutely no problems there. Did discover a different problem.

So do the ROM's share the same kernel or not? Having 2 ROM's with the same kernel is basically what we me7 owner are doing... What happens on mdk if you install a ROM on slot 1 that doesn't support the kernel on the stock partition?
