When I first rooted my phone it booted up as if it was stock. Now it shows a different Samsung logo and says "custom" under it with an unlocked logo. Does this happen to all rooted AT&T phones? I was hoping it would not show this.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mdaudioguy:
This happened to me after flashing a certain rom (can't remember exactly which one). Anyhow, that rom wasn't for me, so I deleted it, but this problem still remained. Here's what fixed it: I re-booted into stock, re-booted again (into stock), and then re-booted back into the rom I'd been using on a regular basis - GPE - and the unlock icon on the boot screen was gone.

I guess if your regular rom is (the?) one that causes the problem, this might not work out for you. Again, I don't remember which it was, but I do know that it was ok after trying GPE, SHOstock, and Gravitron. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] IvanRad:
The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system".

So basically after reading this its a virtual machine for gs4. Which means not 100 performance.?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] deadenz:
have you installed xposed framework or anything like that? I used the sd card method to root but I never had the custom lock on bootup or custom status, it was always official but it changed once when I installed xposed or maybe a module did it. I haven't seen it since tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
Nope. Nothing besides plain root. I used the 1 click method to root. It didn't do this at first and then started a couple of days later.

There is no performance drop, it runs like normal. Think of it as a dual boot rather than a virtual machine.

Thank you hash! Thank you for your continued dev work on this awesome exploit (not sure if that is officially what you like to call it). I was thinking about it the other day to be honest, wondering if we would ever see an update despite the fact that safestrap 3.6x worked just fine, but as promised! I can not thank you enough. I did have one question though, with no real motivation other than curiosity is it possible to downgrade safestrap versions? Hypothetically speaking if I ever did want to bend myself over with a broomstick and attempt to mess with my stock rom, would I ever be able to install an older version of SS that is permissive of that? Thanks a million times!

edit: For the sake of as much user feedback as possible on as many different (but exactly the same) user devices, the install went smoothly, and the instructions were flawless. As posted by hash, simply downloaded the new safestrap 3.62 apk, booted to my stock rom, located the file on my sd card (my default download location), and installed the apk, then chose the install recovery option, and in under two minutes (as with the last update) bam! New safestrap!

Any ideas fellas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
I just want to install this to be able to backup my phone and want to keep it stock rooted. Someone told me that I do not need to allocate any data to the rom slot for this since i don't wan to flash a custom rom. Is this correct? What do I do if I just want recovery for backup and not lose memory from my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hackstermind:
I installed ss for the same reason..just wanted a backup..but what are u trying to say u dont wanna lose memory on internal storage due to the rom slots?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] deadenz:
I haven't had this problem until recently and I haven't changed how I do things. I created a new rom slot, flashed virginrom and mf3 modules (did this with multipe gpe roms but wasn't an issue until now). everything works fine on first boot, lte & wifi both working, but once I restart the phone and it boots back up I get "roaming indicator off" on lockscreen and network icon at the top has no bars and 'access points' is missing under the mobile networks settings, however making/receiving calls still work, and receiving txts works also, I just can't send txts. like I said before this hasn't been an issue until recently. I reboot into safestrap and wipe dalvik & cache and when I boot up again everything is back to normal, until I reboot again... my stock rom works perfectly, and other stock touchwiz roms work fine too, I'm currently running shostock. another odd thing is that I made a backup (virginrom) before I had this issue and I restored it to a new rom slot and I still have the issue. if you need any other details let me know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
I am not sure how the rom slots work exactly. I am under the assumption that a rom slot separates the memory on my phone and is like a dual boot. What does the rom slot do exactly (sorry a little confused). I don't want to lose memory on my phone for apps and pictures etc. What settings do i choose if i just want ss to backup my phone? I just want to keep it stock rooted and i am on MF3. I just want to keep my phone stock rooted and I am on MF3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rockshot2:
If all you want is a backup then don't worry about the ROM slots. All you have to do is select backup in SS. It will save the back up on your EXTERNAL SD card if you have one or INTERNAL if you do not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Hashcode:
Do you have an Android 4.3 device to test a new version of SS on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phobia09:
Anybody have an idea of what needs to happen for us to take advantage of the inevitable onslaught of 4.3 ROMs? I presume kexec would be what we need. It would be awesome if there was a 4.3 kernel compatible with SS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] deadenz:
hopefully this is a little easier to understand than my previous post. when I flash a google edition rom and mf3 modules after, on first boot everything is fine. if I reboot then I lose signal and it says "roaming indicator off" and apn settings are missing. I then reboot to safestrap, flash the mf3 modules again and everything is back to normal, until I reboot the phone again. so I have to flash the mf3 modules each time I reboot. this wasn't an issue until recently.. any ideas? and this doesn't happen when installing roms like shostock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jh64dsb877r:
Someone, basically, would need to come up with an exploit, assuming you're talking about MF3 and the locked bootloader situation. At the moment, it's a matter of patience and letting the good people working on it see what they can do.

Of course, anyone with a great deal of knowledge of bootloaders, triggering buffer overflow (or whatever works these days), kernel development or something similar might check up to see what's going on with MF3. As for me, I'm one of the patient ones, because I definitely don't have the kernel-related dev knowledge needed for this. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] troybklyn:
Sorry for the noob question guys, but I searched and searched and couldn't find the answer anywhere.

Will a factory reset of my rooted mf3 completely remove safestrap and root frm my device? Will it be safe to do so?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galaxy*$4:
No you won't lose ss or roOt I like most people do a factory reset. You will only lose what's on that rom slot anyway. Like instilled apps.

Just go into ss hit wipe but dont go into advance wipe as you can mess up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuanphucn:
will i be able to remove ss if i want to go back to stock for warranty purposes, etc?

Hey guys I'm at a loss. I've searched amd came up with nothing. I'm using SS and Deadly Venom rom. I originally made 3 rom slots and partitions to try different roms.

So I deleted two of the three rom slots and partitions but still get notice on every rom I run. I have the 32Gb phone amd a 32GB sdcard inside.

Can you delete safestrap using terminal emulator on your phone instead of using adb by following the same commands?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
I had the same problem. After deleting the ROMs you don't want and only having the one custom ROM and stock ROM left - what I did was made sure custom ROM was active/green, rebooted back to custom ROM. Then rebooted back into SS recovery. looked at the install area where it was telling me memory/storage area and it was now resolved. Let me know if that works for you...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hovax615@hotmail.com:
No just type “su" than the enter key and it should grant terminal emu the root permission and it would say “root" than type lines as followed. Some lines will be longer than others and it will look like you lost what you typed but you didn't its just making room for it.

Had the same thing happened and ended up having to delete a bunch of pictures. Something to do with how the filesystem is partitioned won't make the lack of space on a certain partition be apparent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tommydrum:
What version of ss did you install that Rom in? Was it before that last update that added custom partition sizes? If so, try recreating the Rom with new SS.

(Nandroid backup your rom first, delete the slot, then restore after you recreated a rom slot for it)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RickHenry:
Hope my experience with partition sizes can help others on this thread. I installed SS without issue - it all installed and worked exactly as advertised. I have a 16BG S4, so thought I would start with 1 GB partitions for system and data. MDOB failed to install. Graviton and SHOstock installed, but instead of booting would only go to 3e recovery. After I deleted the ROM-slots I had set up and re-created one with the default partition sizes (system = 2.8GB, data=3GB, cache=300MB). After that, SHOstock flashed just fine, flashed the MF3 modules, and everything worked and booted up fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
I assume you're on the MF3 baseband and only way around is SS right? I couldn't get Graviton to work either. Which link did you use for SHOstock? Have you tried Deadly Venom - if not, its worth a try, very fast, stable, good battery life for me.
