Any way to set the time and date correctly? I see how to set time zone and offsets (the time zones put the time way out). Hope this is not too petty of a question--especially since SS saved my a$$. I'm just a little bit a-retentive when it comes to file names, etc...

Plus, maybe I need first grade type help on searching the forums because I always seem to miss the mark.

Thanks for any help.

I think I did something wrong with my latest flash. Is there a way to get back into safestrap after a flash? I'm at the dead android screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] qxps:
Aren't modem flashes universal? Meaning, it affects all the ROM slots. I thought safestrap did not create extra modem partition(s).

Modem flashes apply to all slots, yes.

Not been much to say. SS is pretty much flawless. Official 4.4 KK will bring activity back up soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Hashcode has other things to do, development is a long process, and posting updates and technical details always runs risk of Samsung seeing and patching it (that's why the bootloader thread in the Verizon section isn't showing many specifics). Be patient, it will take time but it will be worth it.

How can I tell if if I CANT install safestrap per the first post warning?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] qxps:
If you enabled encryption or its a corporate issued phone, then you should not use safestrap. If you bought it at a store and haven't messed with the encryption settings, it does not apply to you.

Settings > security settings > encryption, I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] livewire195:
How do I determine if it has been messed with?

I've used Loki to unlock my boot loader, and installed TWRP, and custom roms.

My last flash of a custom rom, jacked the phone up so all I did was flash the Stock 4.2.2 Firmware with Odin on my phone.

Thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tommydrum:
Did you Odin mf3 or mdl?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Because unless u odined mf3 you dont need safestrap. Or if u did the ota. .. if your baseband ends with amdl then just root and flash twrp again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] livewire195:
I did the OTA to MK2 | Android 4.3

I was able to root the phone, but I've been reading there are no custom recoveries for it.

__________

I do not want to brick the phone by trying to force a recovery install on my device as I use it for work primarily.

I cant stand using my phone with this bloated stock rom, and would really like to use SlimBean or SlimKat on it.

Can I accomplish this, or stuck because of the boot loader being locked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Well im at work right now. Cant answer how id like to. It depends on which firmware your on. If your on amdb or amdl your can flash a recovery using motochopper method. If your on mf3 or mk2 youd have to use safestrap and the roms u could use wpuld be limited to tw based roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] livewire195:
I tried SafeStrap, followed the guide and it didn't work.

I was able to install it, but I installed the recovery, and rebooting the phone there was no menu for altering settings.

Gentlemen,

I finally unboxed by S4 (Dec) and rooted it. Great. The S4 is on 4.3 Stock Rogers Rom, MK6. I can't install safestrap.

It keeps closing the app. Is there another version I need to use??

Rooting and flashing I've done numerous times on my S3..... This isn't new........however, I'm stuck.

Thanks guys.

will safestrap be updated for 4.4.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
3.71 is for 4.3, however it's not designed for your phone. I337M is different from I337. You can use a custom recovery like normal and flash other AOSP ROMs if you don't care about tripping knox.

In time, it should be. But 4.4.2 needs to be rooted first, so it will take time.

Maybe this doesn't belong in this thread, so if the mods think it doesn't, I won't be insulted if this gets deleted.

Safestrap is awesome.Much thanks to Hashcode for doing what he's done here! If you truly understand what he's up against, getting this solution to this point is pretty remarkable. I rooted my S4 immediately upon receiving it and had Safestrap installed right away. I tried a few SS roms, and all the devs did the best they could, given that they could only use Samsung's TW kernel. I settled on a rom I liked and used it daily for many months. I thought it to be much more to my liking than stock. However... I just couldn't take it any longer - my patience ran out, so I sold my S4 and bought a Nexus 5. The S4 is a great piece of hardware. With my luck, someone will probably succeed in unlocking the bootloader now! :o Anyhow, best wishes to ya'll that are still hanging in there!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NighthawkXL:
Now that most of the kinks have been worked out (and the MK2 Odin files being released), running MK2 with Safestrap 3.71 will likely offer you the largest pool of custom 4.3 TouchWiz ROM's to choose from (outside of having a Loki device). As a added benefit if you root MK2 with Saferoot you can possibly reap the benefits from the kernel exploit found in it... if Hashcode manages to get kexec to work that is. That exploit is the best chance we have at using custom kernels again without unlocking the bootloader, but for now we just have to sit and wait.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Thanks for the reply. Will proceed to update this weekend then. Is there a recommended way to do this since I'm still on MF3 with SS, rooted, etc.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NighthawkXL:
The easiest way would be to update via the MK2 Odin files...

For everything else I'd refer to this guide... (How to Root,etc)

Read about MK2 (4.3) NOT NB1 (4.4)

Remember to backup your data before doing anything as this will restore your device to a factory state.

Good luck!

I need help. I am on MK2 and was trying to upgrade to Goldeneye. I had never used SS before, but read about it and it seemed easy enough. Deleted everything except Micro SD in SS, well Micro SD was blank under "install" but all of my files on the internal storage were there, so I tried to reboot. Now I'm stuck on samsung galaxy s4 screen, so i guess i did delete whatever is needed for boot. What the heck did I just do, did I kill my phone? Can I odin my way back to life? I have no clue what I'm doing, I thought I had read enough before I got started.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] qxps:
If you deleted everything, then obviously, yes you deleted what's need for boot. Just download a flashable rom from here and flash it through recovery, to which you have access.

Use a microsd so you can transfer it through the computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tuffluck:
okay, so if i get into recovery, it's just stock recovery. what rom can i flash from this recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] qxps:
You don't see the safestrap menu during startup? It has two buttons, continue and recovery. Press recovery or the one that does not say continue. Don't use the stock volume up and home buttons since that will take you to the stock recovery.

Turn the phone off, take the sd card out and plug it in a card reader on a computer. Download a rom based on android v4.3 (MK2) and flash it. Then flash the kernel modules if needed.

If you want, you can flash the stock MK2 tar through odin too. Its probably faster and easier this way, then just reroot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tuffluck:
I guess I deleted SS as well...

It starts up and stays locked on the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. It does not move until I pull the battery or turn it off. I did Vol Up + Home + Menu and right now it is sitting on the Android system recovery screen. Just turn it off, then put the MK2 files on my SDcard via the reader, go back into Recovery and flash it? Which MK2 files do I get? Sorry for being so dumb, but once you make one screw up you want to make sure every next step is accurate. I really appreciate your help.

Download odin v3.07 or v3.09

Turn the phone off, turn it on to download mode, put the tar file in the PDA / AP line in odin, then start. Make sure the only things with a checkmark on the left side are "auto reboot" and "f reset time".

not really sure whats going on, well back ground story, i was having trouble with deadly venom (with new text not showing up sent and receive) so i figured i would try flashing some different roms car hd v18 from the list that works on to my stock slot it was for 4.3.. i am having nothing but boot loop on stock rom slot and #1 slot (fresh slot to) so i flashed deadly venom to the stock slot and boot loop (before it flashed on stock just fine) and the phone was fine as well. i had hyperdrive 15 on slot one and deadly venom on stock.

bad thing is i have to have this phone running by morning

i tried every rom i have stored on my phone and nothing but boot loop could somebody explain what happened. i had an issue like this on mf3 but thats because i was stupid.and didnt have my phone in while i was flashing over the stock slot.

edit, after messing with it some more i have to odin back to stock some how i managed to delete ss and now it sits at the samsung boot logo screen doing nothing. so now its a waiting game while the files are being downloaded

On XDA sigs aren't always right. I ask because allot of people who have issues are not att s4. I've been using Safe Strap since my RAZR and haven't heard that issue. What baseband are you on Nb1 or MK2?

You might want to try starting fresh and do the full Odin for which ever you're on. Here's a link to my copy of 3.71. https://mega.co.nz/#!8FNnRBoQ!-YI6SWOhtW2Dt8q-03T87XSDBA8itr-LKVHP6RgNDEc

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
Of course, I'm persistent about updating my signature though, the slightest change in a ROM or anything causes me to change it - hell, I've already put the ROM I am trying to get on this thing, and had it for a few minutes yesterday until I realized there was some catastrophic error in which I had no sound, and started the process the right way from the beginning, going back to MK2....

I'm on the NB1 baseband right now, but I can easily switch that out for MJ9 or older (still have all the way back to MDB in my modems folder), would that affect this? Seriously asking that question as I don't know, and thanks for your help so far

I'm following the steps listed here in order to get a rooted NB1 on my i337, and even had it done yesterday at one point until I got "greedy" and wanted NBH on it, then it began bootlooping and I started all over again.... I'll try getting a different modem on this thing and see if that helps any

Can't do that yet because there isn't a Boot Option for me to put the ROM in to the Stock Slot

Confused how this helps - I have 3.71 installed, and I actually downloaded and overwrote my copy the last time I installed it with the copy you posted, and they were the exact same file size anyways.... but it says very clearly that this is the way to remove it from the system if it is below 3.70, which it is not.... I can try it if that's what you think will work

EDIT - same screen, took a pic of it with my N7 to show what this looks like on my end, definite NOT the right recovery for some reason, followed all the steps you posted and removed it from the system, then installed your copy and got this, see attached
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dave5777:
For whatever reason safestrap isn't booting into the correct recovery. Maybe you originally had an earlier version installed and it wasn't properly uninstalled. So I would try manually to delete all the ss files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
I did that, with the steps you gave, and still getting this

Since I've flashed the MK2 and NB1 bootloaders and stock recoveries, why isn't it overwriting what I'm doing here with custom recoveries? I'm trying to get a stock TWRP on the device using GooManager so SS has something to overwrite completely, but it's telling me there are no OpenScript recoveries for my device, on MK2....

EDIT - seeing that MK2 doesn't have a working recovery yet, which is why we have SS, my only option it seems, and can't get it loaded properly
