I use 3.71 and it works great on 4.3. I've heard of a 3.72, but it's not listed in the OP. I know there's another thread for safestrap, maybe it's posted over there. I haven't looked for it yet and don't know any details about it.

As long as people understand there is no support for att 3.72 ss on Verizon s4 and the limitations of no rom slots or rom slot installs. ...and I have seen some issues with restoring backup...but do not have first hand knowledge of that.

3.72 is not supported by hashcode for verizon phones and most likely why nothing on 3.72 or NC5 modules are in his posts....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Why is it not supported? It is being used with SS and everyone who is updating their Verizon S4's to 4.4.2 on NC5 are using 3.72 and have to go digging for different fixes for the wifi and this Module seems to be the exact same quality as Hash's other Modules... It would just make it easier if it was all in the OP. Even if he added it with notes saying something like "I haven't tested this yet".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
hash has always taken the use at your own risk approach when people chose to go a different route...SS3.72 was released for ATT S4's and was found to partially work on verizon....its not his responsibility to cover or comment on what people do and I understand why he doesn't want to take any ownership

we are lucky to have him as a dev and somewhat disrespectful to tell him what he should or shouldn't do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It's not supported because it doesn't completely work and Hashcode apparently doesn't want to release it until it does.

When you use Safestrap 3.72 on Verizon, the entire concept of "Safe" is discarded because you can only flash over the stock ROM. No simple recovery is possible if anything goes wrong with a flash, meaning that you've got to re-flash the stock ROM and start over. It's not safe any longer, even though is still useful as a second init custom recovery.

The lack of safety is a real issue given the complexity of the NC5 upgrade/downgrade processes, as demonstrated by the number of people not getting it right and either bricking their phones or ending up unrooted when done.

When it's done, Hashcode will release it.

Oh, and posting the modules here? Why not in the first post of the two Hyperdrive threads? (dev and Q&A).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Thanks for this, helped me make the decision to stay on stock 4.4.2 until [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] gets safe strap fully working for 4.4.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loveubuntu:
ot sure if this is mentioned or not but Safestrap 3.72 KK (the ATT version we should use) did not work for me wthout the SeLinux Permissive setting. Downloaded the app changed setting to permissive and worked on first attempt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fireattack7:
This is correct. I had to do the same thing on my wife's S4 last night to get it to work. You will also have to do this every time you want to boot to recovery or even run the Safestrap app.

I believe the "AT&T" 3.72 version is actually a unified "JFLTE" build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
it works on verizon phones partially, why hashcode has not posted a link in his OP here as its not 100% functional and why he stays away from discussions of 3.72 on verizon phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] memtenn:
Where do I find the settings? Am I installing it first? I'm lost lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
he forget to say the app to install is permission changer, if u don't want to download the permission changer, and already have a terminal emulator installed. This assumes you are rooted. You can type the flowing commands to adjust SE Linux:

su

setenforce 0

That's permissive mode, and to go back to enforcing (for whatever reason) use:

su

setenforce 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] memtenn:
OK cool thanks. I'm using my friends Verizon S4 and finally rooted it on 4.4.2. Coming from a ATT Note 3 we are using Safestrap 3.72 to do back ups and running roms in slot 1. Is this 3.72 going to give me the same function?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
As 3.72 is for att. .There is limited functionality. ..no rom slot install only to stock. ..backup and restore does work but you may need to flash appropriate modules..For wifi to function after restore.

I really don't want to be that guy but has anyone now of the update for the s4 I see the s5 is up and going or can we just use the ss for the s5? ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
From hashcode's twitter not even 24 hours ago:

PSA: Using a #safestrap designed for a DIFFERENT device isn't so safe... As a matter of fact it could severely damage your device.

Use the s4 safestrap 3.72 from the AT&T thread. Slots do not work but you can flash to stock side.

This of course is not supported by hashcode but had been tested by many including myself. It works but hashcode will not provide support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
You should go on the #safestrap freenode IRC. He says right now that the rom slots img's are blowing the S4 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
Question: If I do this (use ATT SS 3.72 on VZW S4, and flash to stock slot), does that make it where I have now lost my stock boot and then only way to boot back to stock NC5 is to Odin back to an NC5 image? I.e. no way to boot up into the stock ROM using SS? Again, that's assuming I've installed SS and then installed, for example, HyperDrive.

It seems pretty obvious that the statement that I would have to "flash to stock side" means I would be overwriting my stock boot, but I just want to make sure I understand it correctly before I do any of this.

Naturally, what I would really like to be able to do is root, install SS, and then install another ROM while preserving an ability to boot to the ROM I'm running now, with all my apps still installed, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
You can root first... Install ss and then do a backup using ss..... Before flashing a ss compatible rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
I have been following RootJunky's YouTube tutorial on installing SafeStrap on my S4 SCH-i545 NC5 Variant. (I have successfully installed and loaded into SafeStrap Recovery 3.75) Twice, the install of my HyperDrive Rom RLS17.1 on my new rom slot has gone through but upon reboot presented me with the Verizon Screen of Death stating: "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." I am doing everything the way it has been explained. What might be the reason for this? I am I the only one with this issue? Is there a known fix or workaround? Thanks, Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtfchuck:
I think you are using the wrong SS. I think you need to be using 3.72.

You might have to Odin one of the stock roms to proceed at this point.

update

Just wondering if anyone has heard about the update I would like to go back up to 4.4 but waiting for full functionality of SS. Thank you in advance for any information
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
I have flashed stock back after each fail (soft brick) and everything works fine per reset. [MENTION=5298559]wtfchuck[/MENTION], 3.72 was used in the video because, at the time, it was the latest version of SS. [MENTION=5851240]aknotts415[/MENTION], I acquired 3.75 from an android utility site (not sure which one now). It is now in build (B04). RootJunky himself uses this version in one of his latest videos on installing custom roms onto GS4 with NC5. This new build allows for the utilization and addition of rom slots. [MENTION=5382880]Charlie115[/MENTION], full functionality is available. But, as was my experience, with kinks. The new version should, theoretically, work as well or better than 3.72. Who knows, LOL. For now, I am on a clean restore of factory 4.4.2 KK. Phone works nice enough. Will hold out for the possibility of a development in a bootloader unlock one of these days to do it properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie115:
?????? Huh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
[MENTION=5382880]Charlie115[/MENTION], Just saying that 3.75 is the newest version of SafeStrap, allowing for full functionality (i.e. rom slot availability). Check RootJunky's more recent video on custom rom installation on SGS4 with NC5 ("Galaxy S5 custom rom install with Safe strap recovery on Verizon or Att") and you'll see him using it. Sorry, not enough posts to be able to share the link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie115:
I believe 3.75 is for note3 and hash has highly recommend not using SS from other units it could blow out the kernel or something? ??? 3.72 is for att but still s4??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
[MENTION=5382880]Charlie115[/MENTION], I totally see what you're saying here. Interesting. Not sure. Would love others input on this. Perhaps, [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] could chime in here and enlighten us all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Actually the only thing I could find via google SafeStrap 3.75 to this point is the availability of it on that version for the S5 so I would be very very cautious about trying it on the S4 and in regards to the post above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Can you give me the file name of the SS apk you are using.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
[MENTION=650592]lazer9[/MENTION], Thanks for the input. It is seeming that this may in fact be the ROOT of the issue. Pun totally intended! But still not 100% sure if it's specific to S5 only. [MENTION=4630246]joshuabg[/MENTION], This is the filename for the SS I used: Safestrap-KLTEVZW-NCG-3.75-B03.apk Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie115:
I'm just saying I know 3.72 is the only version being used on Verizon KK 4.4 . It's for att s4 but we are using on Verizon just not fully functional for us. But hash has advised not using SS like for the S5 running 4.4 I'm sure the 3.75 for the note3 should fall under the same advice, but I'm just assuming
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Ok you are using the Safestrap for the Verizon S5,

So everything is fully functional, you can install a rom to a rom slot?

Hashcode says it could be dangerous, im not sure if the partitions are the same on the VZW S5 as they are on the S4

Hashcode posted this in the ATT S5 SS thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
[MENTION=4630246]joshuabg[/MENTION], Yeah. I just noticed too that it is specifically for NCG not NC5. So, I suppose that 3.72 SS is the latest working SS for S4 NC5? Can we verify that or is [MENTION=285174]HasC[/MENTION]ode still working on a fix right now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
The Verizon S4 codemane is jfltevzw, The att S4 is jflteatt, the S4 in general is jflte, thats why we can use the att SS 3.72 on the vzw S4, that SS is made for jflte

I've been on the #safestrap IRC channel on freenode for a few weeks. He says that right now the large rom slot img's are causing the kernel to blow. You should join the #safestrap IRC so you can talk to Hashcode if he comes on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
[MENTION=4630246]joshuabg[/MENTION], Yeah. Gotcha. Makes complete sense. Thanks for the info. I think I may just join up over there! And to answer your previous question, yes. SS 3.75 did work until post installation of Hyperdrive RLS 17.1 following reboot...seemingly, flawlessly. :/

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rkesack:
[MENTION=4630246]joshuabg[/MENTION], I was able to create a new rom slot and successfully install RLS 17.1 The only issue was upon completion of that setup, the device had to reboot and it failed to load into anything at all. I was presented with a message stating: "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." I got that after each of my two attempts to install the Hyperdrive rom, once on stock slot and once in a new slot. After each time, the device was able to be restored via Odin with stock firmware for 4.4.2 KK. And that's awesome. Thanks for the link!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
So you were unable to get rom to boot...either in Stock slot or a rom slot just to be clear.

What if Im on a Verizon S4 with Safestrap 3.7.1 and it says:

State: Installed

Safe System: Not Active as well?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Installed and not active means ur running on the stock slot is all it means. Because if something goes wrong when ur on a rom slot ur safe but if ur on the stock slot and something really goes wrong you can brick ur device and have to boot into recovery and use ODIN to restore ur phone. If ur on SS 3.71 ur on Jelly Bean 4.3 and you can use the rom slots to install another rom onto and not touch ur stock slot. SS 3.72 does not have working rom slots so u can only flash roms on the stock slot so its risky if you dont know what ur doing.

Hope that helps bud :o

You are stuck with the stock kernel until kexec works (if it ever does). You do need to flash the me7 kernel modules zip in the op for it to work though.
