whoops, wrong version :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galaxy*$4:
so i been hearing about the 4.3 leak once hash has a update, we can then flash 4.3 TW roms, or any 4.3 rom? i am sorry if i asked this before i am losing track of my mind, and what i have posted between this thread and safe stap Q and A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xerythul:
A root method for 4.3 also needs to be found because an update is going to destroy the 4.2.2 root exploit and take us forward to 4.3 stock non rooted.

So....new 4.3 f/w = new 4.3 root and 4.3 safestrap for us locked bootloaders to rom again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galaxy*$4:
so what your saying is we will be in the same boat as now. but with better rom selection?

on a side note didnt apple products have a locked boot loader. they used dfu mode to bypass the boot loader and something else.

i am throwing random ideas out, so they are a hit and miss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rebel1699:
What it means is once root and ss are available for 4.3 and it is installed, we can put 4.3 roms in slots. We cant now because the bootloader is still very locked, and since the secondary roms share the stock rom kernel, they have to match.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XCnathan32:
I like safestrap and the idea, but I find the compatibility frustrating as the only rom I know of that works is BoBCaT ROM, and version 7.0 will not work. It also cant support basic roms such as, CM, AOKP, jellybam, and even stock android. I also wish that you could install roms to the external sd and android 4.3 doesnt work. Dont get me wrong, I like Safestrap and what it can do, im just a little (a lot) mad, mainly at Samsung though.

I want to say thanks to Hash and everybody else on this thread for everything you have done to get the Galaxy S4 with MF3 to be used with other ROMs. SS has proven to be something I used heavily. However, I'm parting with my S4 for the Nexus 5 since I don't want to deal with a locked bootloader and limited ROMs any more. If it wasn't for Hash and SS I wouldn't have lasted this long with my S4 at all. Thanks again for all of your work! Maybe I'll see some work of yours find its way to the N5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
I had the same thing happen when I flashed shostock 2.0. Only fix was to delete it and install another ROM. I've had success with deadly venom and Google play 4.2.2. I'm with ATT safestrap MF3 16gb i337 currently w GPE 4.2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
Did you install it over an existing rom, and if so did you do a full wipe b4 flashing the GE rom? Do a factory reset on the rom slot in SS recovery, that usually fixes it right up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
So are you saying that after you flash a ROM in a slot in SS, if you get that error, do a factory reset in SS and it may resolve??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
Yes if you just dirty flashed the rom, doing a factory reset (in TWRP - wipe > swipe to factory reset) in recovery can clear up the systemui issue. You will have to re-setup your phone, ie add google account back and install any apps, like it came out of the box, basically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Awesome. Thanks. Wish I knew that earlier!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TRusselo:
is there any reason that this would not work on an 337m Canadian S4? I dont see any reference in the thread to 337m or bell.

I understand that my bootloader is not locked but, it would be neat to multi-boot different roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tommydrum:
Believe me, your lucky to have unlocked bl. Because of the setup of this safestrap, even though you can execute modded kernals, safestrap is made for us locked guys. So it's made to only use one kernal between multiple roms. For us were stuck with tw based roms and GPE Rom. If unlocked bootloaders had safestrap, it works the same way, keeping the one kernal. Unless hash makes something new, supporting kernal handoffs (aka kexec), safestrap isn't ideal for unlocked bl people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newskin:
Hello guys. just flashed darthstalker rom but WiFi wasn't working even though GPS and Bluetooth were. So I fully wiped and reflashed but this time making sure that I flashed the mf3 kernal right after but still no WiFi. Only Bluetooth and gps. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Linked list of working roms here including international variants. Personally, I'm on Goldeneye 8.0 and enjoy it. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
That's because SHOstock-i v2.0 is international based... You need to use SHOstock v2.3 which is MF3 based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Thanks. To clarify, I flashed 2.0. But didn't flash 2.3 right after. Is that why the errors with System U/I were happening?

If so, I'll try that again next time I'm in the mood to get flash happy, LOL.

:laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
You don't flash MF3 2.3 on top of Intl 2.0, they are different roms. Shostock v2.3 is MF3, Shostock-i v2.0 is Intl. (note the -i). There is a previous version of MF3 that is 2.0 which I think is where you are getting sidetracked. Just decide whether you want Shostock MF3 rom or Intl rom (and for SafeStrap, you want the MF3 rom) and stay on that upgrade path.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Thanks for the help, but totally confused now. 1st page of this thread, SHO has Downloads - has version 2.0 (1.3gb) and then the update 2.3 (300mb). It seems like I can't get 2.3 without doing 2.0 1st as he says you must be on 2.0 1st.

So, is there something I'm missing (obviously?)? Direct link to version 2.3 for MF3/Safestrap??

Thanks again all.

Hi Hashcode ,

Thank you for this great tool.

any plans to support 4.3 ROMs on the next update of Safestrap? Looking forward for it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoman94:
No you got it right... You have to install 2.0 them 2.3 update. I'd you flashed that 2.0 and it rebooted then something went wrong in your flash process. I'm not sure on the exact steps for safe strap.... But I have not had any complaints with people running safe strap. If it happens to you again sent me a logcat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. The earlier post from someone else really threw me. I think my errors came b/c I never flashed 2.3 afterwards, only the MF3 kernel for SS. I'll update you only if I need to bother you. Thanks again for the time/advice.

:victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 78Staff:
Ahh I read it like you loaded Shostock-i 2.0 on a SS slot, and were then talking about v2.3, which is of course MF3. Sorry for the mixup.

It's all good! Glad to know we're all on the same page.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] silentwind96:
Forgive the ignorance of an old man, but how do I go back to out-of-the-box factory specs if i've installed safestrap on my galaxy s4 i337 with mf3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phobia09:
I don't think very many are even rooted. I believe the only root exploit for MJ6 is Vroot, which is now banned from XDA. I haven't seen anything from those who HAVE root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Why is that banned from xda??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phobia09:
There's a huge potential for loss of information of those who root with that method. Check the last post of this thread.

i am wondering why is it that every ios and iphone has been jailbroken via unteatherd (spelling) jailbreak and we cant even get around a locked boot loader. but then again we can run custom roms, where as iphone has custom themes, just wondering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Jailbreak is more like root. We can have root on locked bootloaders. Our situation is similar to how iPhone 4 and beyond never got bootlace to run Android on them. Running custom roms puts us ahead, but we are still restricted.

Sent from my SGH-I337 running Foxhound 2.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galaxy*$4:
ya i figured that jailbreak was more then root but now that i think about it both are the same. ya, i am hoping to run aosp based roms one day.

nobody seemed to help me out. i found a used galaxy s4 international i think, for cheap (screen was cracked) and i could take my screen and off this current phone and put on there or swapping guts what ever is cheaper. but that thread didnt get no hits so i left it be and moved on

on a side note and this is off topic if i get a international phone could i run different carrier roms on there? (again nobody seemed to care to answer that for me)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tommydrum:
You can run (kind of) aosp rom with safestrap and Google play edition Rom. I just flashed it to stock now we have odin for mf3. (Wipe system, factory reset, install rom, install modules, clear caches, reboot).

And about the international one, follow those guides to unlock the sim on the phone, put your att one in, works. Just look around for guides to use international I9505 on AT&T. If you could, you should get a tmobile one though, I know of guides for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galaxy*$4:
thank ya. i know about the gpe roms but i am in to complete customizing my roms i have tried most of the gpe roms but non worked well for me, like back in my gs3 days i was running panakangdroid (something close to that), but funny thing is i wasnt planing on rooting and putting custom roms on this phone, but i did. or i would have found a mdl base phone

so if i find a cheap used phone i can use my current phone for parts would i come out ahead of one that is like new i wont be doing anything that involves replacing screens or hardware . i really miss those roms but right now i got bigger fish to fry, right now i spent $300 half of that was a wasted on something that i didnt need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tommydrum:
Yup makes sense. For me I actually love aosp based roms, enough where I'm about ready to sell my mf3 phone and but a nexus 5. Seriously. I'm really fed up with att and Samsung right now. All I want is cm. Nothing more nothing less. I'm settling for gpe for now, but ya. We are dealing with quite a bit of money here and that's the down side.

I'm really excited what cm's new installer is going to be like. Maybe we'll get lucky and Samsung will sign it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galaxy*$4:
i miss the features of all the aosp based roms cant say much for CM as i havent ran it much., but is it worth the $200-$600 even though we may get lucky and our phone sells for close to that amount but who knows how long that would take. but like the saying goes if you have the money go for it.

i havent heard about that *any sources* would be great then the devs can make it better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
So have done this successfully and run ROMs with SS, no problem. Can't get SHOstock v2.0/2.3 to work. Flashed 2.0, then immediately after 2.3. All says successful. Then reboot, and it shows custom animation of gears moving, etc and the words in yellow/gold of SHOSTOCK on the screen, then it just stays there. At the 15 minute mark I gave up and rebooted, tried again and same thing. Then I tried factory resetting and still gets stuck at same place.

I'm gonna learn how to do a logcat and send to you, if thats ok? gonna post in safestrap/MF3 forums as well.

Unable to mount sd card or use MTP

Hey there,

Whenever I installed safestrap, my phone was unable to mount the sd card. It worked before I rooted the phone, it worked after I rooted the phone, but when I installed safestrap, it stopped working. I have uninstalled safestrap via command line like the instructions said. I have unrooted via Kingo. I have flashed the MF3 tar using odin 1.85 and 3.07. My phone is completely back to stock now, but my mounting still doesn't work. The drivers will not install, and the three pcs I have tried, both XP and 7, will not recognize the device, so it can't install the drivers. I have installed the drivers from the samsung website and it still doesn't show up. It shows up in download mode only (which is why I can use odin). HELP! I need this fixed. I have posted this in the q and a thread, and have received no answers. Does anyone know how to get my MTP back?

Im running the latest safestrap. Heres my idea:

***Now that we have Odin and can restore MF3 to stock***

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502003

Can I boot into safestrap, wipe the stock rom slot and all caches, install the 350mb Google Play Edition ROM with Hashcode's MF3 module zip file to the stock slot, and have a working phone with all the storage space that Touchwiz has been stealing from us? After initial boot, simply reinstall the safestrap apk. Makes sense, right?

It seems to me that it should work. Its not AOSP, but its the closest we currently have. Has anyone else already tried this? I restored to stock last night, so im ready to take the plunge when I get some time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NighthawkXL:
Theoretically, this sounds like it's a viable case. But keep in mind, although we have access to the MF3 MD5 files there is a chance they won't work for you if you ever need to flash back to stock. There have been several cases of Odin failing to flash the S4... using the MF3 files.

But in all reality the chances are nil that one of the many Odin versions won't work for you. I'm not quite ready to do it on my own device but apparently there are people around here on the forum who have done it.

My only concern is how do you wipe the complete stock system is that is where SafeStrap is being hosted, or does SS install elsewhere in the phone's storage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
Someonecorrect me if I'm wrong, but when an apk loads up, its stored in RAM until it is killed. Wiping the stock partition after safestrap is loaded should be fine, right?

Boot safestrap, wipe stock, flash rom over stock slot, reboot, reinstall safestrap. In my head it makes sense.

I ran into issues the other night flashing back to stock with an old version of odin. Updated to a newer one and had no issues.

Lost Space

NOOB Alert!

So here's the situation.

I'm on Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (the dreaded) MF3

I had installed Safestrap, booted into Safestrap, initialized ROM1, installed Graviton, booted up Graviton (without first installing the MF3 files) and discovered my error. When I attempted to boot back into Safestrap, for some reason the phone booted straight to my Stock environment (AT&T). So, I uninstalled Safestrap (via the Term Em on the phone and the commands from the OP) and rebooted the phone. Of course, it went straight to Stock (as expected). Reinstalled Safestrap, rebooted and got back into Safestrap. I deleted ROM1. Since it was getting late, I decided to stop there and rebooted into Stock.

The next day, I booted back into Safestrap, recreated ROM1 .... but noticed that there was less storage to choose from the second time around but push ahead anyway, and successfully installed Graviton and the MF3 module(s) (loving it, by the way).

But now I'm noticing that I only have about 2G left out of 16G with just a Stock and ROM1 used. So I'm thinking that when I deleted the first ROM, it didn't actually free up the storage. I've noticed others with similar questions, but I'm not clear what I have to do and wanted to check.

I've made a backup of my current Graviton ROM1environment. So I'm thinking that I can blow away ROM1 (again), but want needs to happen exactly to free up the space (since a delete doesn't do it)? Do whatever needs to be done to get all the storage back, define ROM1 and restore my Graviton environment.

Does that makes sense?
