Problems with Recovery on my SG 1337-Safestrap version to use

Thanks for yr great tool .

I have migrated my 1337 SG AT&T from 4.4.2 to 5.01 using following steps

- I started with I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar and uploaded using ODIN.

- I rooted using Towelroot

- Then I flashed I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip I using Flash fire

- Next I flashed I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM.zip using Flash fire (this step is not really a must as I understand)

- Then with phone in “Download" mode, I flashed I337_OK2_Bootloader.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA/AP slot.

-I installed SU and updated binaries.

Now issues

**I used Rom Manager to load recovery and it goes into recovery thru ROM Manager but shows only Android recovery and not CWM recovery which it says is available as the current recovery.

**Also Power+home+Volume Low does not take me to recovery.

I have been advised to use Safestrap recovery. But there are three version of Safe strap. In your article you mention that I use the version compatible to Touchwiz version. - NB1 or MK1 or MF1 . I am not able to identify the Touchwiz version or ROM version. On app manager it shows Touchwiz version as Touch wiz home 1.

Here is the Current” ABOUT Device” status after flashing with Flashfire (step 4 and then 5) earlier for yr ref

**Android 5.0.1

**Android Security patch level 2015-11=01

**Baseband 1337ucugk2

**KERNEL VERS 3.4.0-6185444

**BULID NO LRX22C1337UCUGOK2

**SE FOR ANDROID STATUS enforcing sepf_samsung-sgh-1337=5.0.1-1_0039 9not sure what it means)

**It also shows a no of KNOX SW versions

My phone is NOT ENCRPYTED.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberSpiderPrime:
Ok, its been a while since I last visited this site.

I have a:

Samsung Galaxy S4 SAMSUNG-SGH-1337 (AT&T)

Android version is 5.0.1

Build number is LRX22C.1337UCUGOK2

Kernel version is 3.4.0.6185444

Security version is MDF v1.0 Release 4

The phone has been rooted and Knox has been tripped but otherwise the ROM is stock. I mainly use this phone as a mini-tablet now.

I have not been able to identify the phone as NB1, MK2, MK3 or any other listed types (I have seen longer lists).

Where do I find this information?

I really want to change out the ROM (or as I call them LRAM (lockable RAM)) for a cleaner one (less bloat, etc.).

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Ok, anyone viewing my last post can disregard it. It appears I answered my own question without noticing. Build ends with OK2.

If you have the same build, it appears we are out of luck for the moment.

Hi there guys... I think i bricked my sgh i337

It is on the OK2 firmware but when i'm trying to downgrade it to NB1 via Odin it seem being flashed but when it boot few the flashing process the same bootsplash screen on OK2 appear on the screen and it goes to the recovery immediately...

Even if i remove the battery and put it back to boot the phone...

It boot up to the recovery again and again...

So I wanna ask is there any "safestrap recovery" image that I can convert to a .tar file for flashing via Odin

???

Thank you in advance :good:

Anyone think there's a chance of getting the new builds of Lineage 17.1 for the SGH-i337 to install with Safestrap or something similar? https://download.lineageos.org/jflteatt Android Q/10 would be a lot more useful on this device than running KitKat or Lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ctleng76:
I don't know if this is true for other ROMs, but with the GPE ROM, if you allow your apps to be restored Google Play during the initial setup, it results in constant force closes. The remedy is to wipe and reboot the ROM to force the setup to run again.

I tried that too. I couldn't get past the settings where you toggle things like smart stay and whatnot.

I wasn't restoring. I never do. I always do a rom toolbox backup of my apps.

So I cannot get my ROM to load and I cannot get back into safestrap recovery to flash a new rom or what not. what can i do to force my phone into safestrap?

Thanks for the quick reply. Its actually just the picture of the unlock thing. i downloaded the stock firmware however doing some research i found that i need an mf3 image. i was hoping there is another way as I just want to flash a rom or even just get my phone working.

I just need a way to force the phone back into recovery and i can take care of it from there. I see people talking about taking it to a best buy samsung store but i have that unlock thing so they will know what I did...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rayburne:
At any point in SafeStrap did you create a new Rom Slot?

If yes. it would have asked how big of partition you want and you would have selected either 1GB, 2GB or 3GB.

Are you sure you performed a format of the newly created Rom Slot?

If no and you formatted, you may have formatted your stock slot and you need to head over to Best Buy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cpom1:
damn it. im pretty sure i formatted my rom slot. so i cannot get back into this recovery?

Im using safestrap with deadly venom rom how do I delete a rom its using all internal memory
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
You can't have the ROM slot active, if that's the one you want to delete. So in Recovery, make your stock ROM active, then go back to delete and choose the deadly venom ROM. I did this to delete several ROMs I didn't want.

Can some one help me..it says my internal memory is low I need to delete stock rom how do I do it in safestrap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rayburne:
If you formatted the stock slot and you are on MF3 you likely can't recover or boot back into Safestrap.

If the above is what happened you will need to find a best buy with a Samsung Experience and have them reflash your phone to recover.

Here is a page to locate a best buy with a Samsung Experience Center.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Are you running MF3?

If yes, you DO NOT want to delete your stock rom slot or you will need to hit best buy as well.

You need to clean up or delete anything else on the stock rom slot to make room.

You may need to want to delete current rom slots you have created and are no longer using however if you are on MF3 do not delete or format the stock rom slot.

Once you free up some space, you can install a Rom that support apps2Sd and install apps to your external SD to keep the internal memory free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bradl79:
No bc more than likely if you formatted the stock it removed safestrap gotta goto bestbuy if they have a Samsung experience

i am curious how did you get it to load i have wiped data, and set my portion size to 2gb and still get failed

i used that link that you provided, then used the mirror link since that was the only download available http://www.foxhoundrom.net/?cat=4

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------

i used the latest update, maybe that is the problem. i will try the version that you have

oh i was using my laptop web cam so it might be hard to read but yall get the idea right

update it works i downloaded 1.8 and i am instilling it right now i choose stock kernel, but i was wondering can we flash other tw kernels or no one more thing does it sound better i chose beats audio and increase vol by 20%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sykoj82:
Doesn't matter what kernel you select. Just don't forget to flash the mf3 kernel module patch from Hashcode immediately after flashing rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xerythul:
Yeah that is NOT something anyone should attempt. As posted everywhere on this forum never flash over your stock rom.

As far as clearing up space is concerned you may go look in your downloads folder and delete or move all of those files to your sd card. You can also delete all downloaded apps and downgrade system apps on the stock rom to get space back. With just one rom slot being used (other than the stock rom obv), I have about ~6gb free. The biggest killer again is that when you download stuff (unless you have it modified to work otherwise) it gets saved to the internal storage and not your ext sd card. Hope this helps!

thank ya, any preference i havent heard them kernels like pros and cons kinda thing, also i got another question i went to vol. under the fox hound settings and it said choose cpu, which i picked the last one as it sounded like the one i have

thank ya so far this seems like a great rom. we will see what batt life brings death stalker hit 18hrs on 59% left (i didnt use my phone much of that day)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cpom1:
can someone link instructions on how to use this and what all it intels such as the partitioning? for examble what if i dont care about the stock rom and just want to use my custom stock rom then what? because the phone is already low on space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
This has been detailed in here before. Search and read the OP/1st post. Also search Safestrap. Most importantly, don't touch/delete the stock ROM, and you'll be fine. Move as many apps as you want/can to ext SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sykoj82:
Are u talking about the viper audio mod? If so use cortex A8 with Neon....it's the 2nd to last 1 on that small list.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leezardmik:
Yes thats what it means
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Yeah as above. You get what partition size you allocated for, i.e. 1, 2, or 3 gb. Plus anything you can put/install on ext SD.:eek:

Here are some detailed instructions. Thanks Nick for posting these.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
I got mf3 and I am following the steps below

1) Rooted the phone with the microsd card method

2) Installed Safestrap recovery

3) Will install the MDOB ROM (based of mf3 fw) using the Safestrap recovery.

Please let me know if any of the steps above are wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
ShoStock user from way back, in my S2 days - well, I guess that's not really way back :). On the S3 I migrated over to the AOKP side of things (although I am not a TW hater like some), but going to give current ShoStock a try via SafeStrap. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jball:
Don't forget to flash the MF3 kernel module after flashing the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
Thanks will do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
Ahh one thing that surprised me is most roms have some sort of recovery option built into the power off action, which I have always used, but in this case it goes to stock recovery (not really a surprise once I thought about it), not the safestrap recovery. Kinda threw me at first lol. Going to be a hard habit to break :silly:

Dang need up update the ole sig I guess too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
Does Safestrap only support MF3 based ROMs or does it support the GoldenEye ROM as well (international)? The pre-requisite being flashing the MF3 kernal module after flashing the ROM.

EDIT: I just installed the GoldenEye ROM and it boots and works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jball:
For the most part as long as you flash the kernel module zip you should be good minus whatever bugs

Edit:as long as its TW based
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] IgnitedBeast:
So, can we flash any kernel as long as we flash the MF3 modules? Or no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgav71:
No. When flashing a rom the kernel will not be changed. We are stuck with the stock Samsung kernel while using safestrap. The mf3 modules will restore wifi functionality after flashing a rom. This is why we can only flash TW based roms. They have to be compatible with the stock kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] boss336:
So when I flash new rom to slot I should choose 3 gbs right
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leezardmik:
its up to you, the larger the partition you choose the less space left for other rom slots. I only have one rom installed at a time so I wanted the partition to be as big as possible (3GB)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Hashcode:
PSA: Some new updates may be rolling out from Samsung / ATT. Be very cautious as this new update may break the way Safestrap currently hijacks the OS and allows us to flash ROMs.

For you to say something it must be soon.hate ATT

On a side note I don't plan on booting into the stock ROM anytime soon. Unless its irrelevant what ROM we are on and at that point it was fun while it lasted.

Can someone post any instructions to freeze the ota software so I dont have to worry about any new bs they are releasing messing safestrap up?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
These were the files to freeze to prevent previous updates, I'd image the same holds true here...

If you want to avoid the update, you should root your phone and freeze the following three apps using titanium backup or some similar app.

1. AT&T Software update Vxx_x_xxxx_x_x

2. FWUpgrade x.x.x

3. LocalFOTA vx_xxxx_x_x​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jball:
I believe if we are using a rom that has it disabled than we should be good..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mdaudioguy:
Right, but the point here is that the stock rom is still intact and some users may occasionally boot into stock for various reasons. So, care should be taken with regard to any updates in that environment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ctleng76:
You really need to do more research. Please, please read the OP. It answers all your questions.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alfmetal:
doing this after working a 9hr shift and a couple hours in the gym is not recommended, thats what I did , and somehow I flashed the new ROM on top of the stock MF3 ROM ( i double checked that i was installing on a slot and according to my brain, thats what my eyes saw ) hahaha....so new ROM messed up everything and after a couple hours i finally took it to the Samsung store inside best buy and the rep. Called the Samsung tech because he was new and was not sure on how to use the smart tool..... after a while the tech told him that my phone was rooted and we voided the warranty...I didn't gave up and at home I flashed more Roms on top of the non working stock ROM and finally the phone is working perfect on one of the 4.2.2 GE Roms.( some JB Roms boot up with FCs every second ...all the 4.3 ROMs won't boot up at all.

I ve tested WiFi Btooth.... and downloaded all my apps and so far not a single problem... If anyone need a video or something . let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brookssw:
I scanned the thread and may have missed this, but I didn't see it. If I install a Rom in a slot and set it up, does anything I do in that new Rom impact the stock Rom, out do they have completely separate storage?

Basically I want to know if I can install a Rom, play with it, then reboot into stock Rom and have everything be exactly the way I left it.

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian

If you install in a slot it won't do any changes to your stock rom

Thanks for posting that info for me. I suppose my first stop should have been the thread I got my rom from to ask if the dev removed those files. I dont see them in the stock settings app list or the tibu app list so it must be safe. Thanks again!

Might be a stupid question but in TB if I have a line through them will I still get the update???? Or should I install them and then freeze them...

Right now SafeStrap is only for MF3 baseband. Hash is working on a version for folks using MDL. Check the OP for detailed instructions to use. Also make sure NOT to flash over your stock rom and you'll be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] itsmejson:
While the stock rom slot is active is it safe to use the safestrap wipe function for data, cache and dalvik in order to reset the stock rom slot back to the out of the box state? also if it is will I have to reinstall supersu onto stock rom slot as well as rom slot 1,2 or 3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
Line through in TB means not installed/uninstalled, so you should be good to go I would think. Your talking about your stock MF3 rom, right?

Hello all...

I buy a 32G ATT S4, after my holiday in the US...

i am really disappointed by the lock policy :(...

Thinking even to sell the phone and get an unlocked European version... will see later

First i want to thank Hashcode, your application is amazing :)...

I don't think the MF3 Bootloader will be unlocked, because other bootloader version are neither not unlocked, we have work around but not unlock method (Loki/Safestrap).

Hope i could soon made an Paranoid AOKP CM Rom for S4 AT&T/Verizon/TMobile version.

Do you think we will see one day MF3 compatibility for a CM/AOKP/Alternative Kernel ? ...

Note : S4 SHV-E300 Corean version look very interesting (LTE + Octa core)
