I've run into issues on the different ROM's I've tested coming from clean slots, and others have reported missing services on some. Compared to 4.2.2, it's a good amount less stable but definitely still usable. And the fact that compatible versions are being made is a good point.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xerythul:
So just to be clear, which version of hyperdrive 12 are you installing for use with SS 3.71 on at&t? I have tried to use the rs12 final.zip version from the at&t thread and it sends me through a boot loop after posting the safestrap enabled screen, back to samsung loader, safestrap, black screen, rinse and repeat. I did notice there is a version that is safestrap compatible for mj7 though. Is that the one to use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wahbob:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NighthawkXL:
Currently, there is only a handful of 4.3 ROM's that work with Safestrap 3.71, it should be noted this version is still unstable. As for running AOSP-based ROM's your out of luck... on MF3 the Google Play Edition worked but right now the 4.3 GPE just bootloops. As for the kernel? If your SS'ing on MK2 your need to use the stock MK2 kernel along side the MK2 modules.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tommydrum:
Yes because safestrap can't touch the kernel anyways, so it can't flash anything on top of it, so you will always have that mk2 kernel until a ota updates it.

That didn't show me the link my friend.Umm...I did flash both versions and I remember the safestrap one had the word safe strap in the title.The best advice I can give is boot into recovery again and delete the RoM slot and then make it again.try doing the flash and module zip again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sahively:
I seem to remember somebody saying shostock was bootlooping for them because they'd messed with the default ss slot partition size. Once they recreated the slot with default sizes, it worked. Just a thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] WordsworthESP:
Well first they've got to make sure they're flashing the correct version of SHOstock. If you're flashing to a ROM Slot, delete the slot (not just deactivate) and recreate it. Then wipe/factory reset after flashing to prevent GApps FC's.

Also, those of us with locked bootloaders CANNOT flash kernels, hence the necessity for Safestrap. What you have to flash are modules for your respective device/carrier.

Can anybody provide complete instruction how to install custom ROM based on 4.3 stock on i377 >=mf3 и <mk2.

Do I need to make OTA upgrade to mk2 first?

Safestrap use stock kernel which is 4.2 on I337 <mk2

But 4.3 ROMs need to use 4.3 kernel.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I want to make sure I have a clear answer. My galaxy is on 4.3 with Safestrap.

is there any bad side about taking the MK2 ota update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phobia09:
Depends on what you want to do with it. If you, say, want to run stock rooted MK2, go for it. If you're on MF3 using safestrap and rely on using it, I would wait until a more stable SS build is released AND for more ROM's to become compatible.

XD. where ?.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jamesyboy:
I've been encountering the opposite issue. I haven't had any issues finding ROMs for MF3, I just got my S4, and there isn't a single useful reference thread on compatibility. The information is all utterly useless. Even the threads that list ROMs say contradictory things like "death walker ROM--compatible with safestrap 3.71 only" and then below, it lists the ROM, in the compatible ROMs section, but the ROM is a 4.3 TW-Based ROM, which means that I need MK2 and Safestrap! Other threads say things that will turn your brain into a pretzel, like "mf3 is the ROM that ships with all new phones...mf3 patched the Loki workaround, so we can't use it anymore." And then they say "in order to flash ROMs, you'll need to use Loki".

It even lists Hyperdrive, which is a 4.3 based ROM.

Moral of the story?: Without version numbers, those lists are useless the day after they're created.

A compatibility thread should look like this:

ROM GoldenEye Version 1.3, 1.4, 1.5,

Android Version: TW-Based 4.2.2

Base :MN2

Requirements: Loki, Safe strap Versions 3.6 through 3.65, MN2 Stock

Flashing: For SafeStrap, wipe, Flash Using Developer Instructions, Flash Modules, Enjoy.

Which brings me to my question. Which is the latest version of Goldeneye that works with MF3? I can't find any ROMs that list which versions their old downloads are for, either.

Every time I click on a ROM in a compatibility thread, the ROM has been updated to 4.3.

And what are the criteria for making sure a ROM is compatible? Since I have MF3, for example, do my ROMs HAVE to be based on MF3? Or is being a Touchwiz-based 4.2.2 ROM for our device enough? Will a MJ0 ROM still work, as long as it's 4.2.2 and It's touchwiz based? Can I use 4.2.2 based International S4 TW-based ROMs? Or a 4.2 ROM? What's the criteria for the ROMs from the International S4, and are those criteria different from ported touchwiz ROMs?

None of this is spelled out. And despite my pouring over stickies for a week now, I can't find anything concrete that isn't convoluted or contradictory.

/sigh. Please don't flame me. If you can shed light on an issue, or if I kissed a thread/comment/ I apologize. I've done a lifetimes work of due diligence on this. I'm not a n00b either. I just think I came late to the "Natural Educational Progression" party. If you're not around for the device issues when they happen, and they're worked around, you'll definitely have a hard time figuring out whats going on once people just start to live with the issue. Then you'll be left with a cat in one hand, a bag in the other, wondering where your butt is, and why is looks like a foot and has a sock on.

If you know what version of a ROM is compatible with MF3, please PM me with the information (pretty please?). I suppose I should start on a compatibility megathread that tracks versions and compatibility.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mdaudioguy:
I've been following this thread daily for weeks and I think I have a good handle on things. I understand your frustration and sympathize. Yes, it's confusing and part of the confusion stems from the fact that things are evolving. Stock firmware changed. The community solutions have had to change, too. I've also been thinking of creating a thread to help explain things, but I just haven't had the time... Why don't you go for it? I'm sure it would be appreciated! Unfortunately, there is a lot of clutter out there due to all these changes.

Hang in there, but do get your read on. I suggest starting with the first few pages of this thread, and then perhaps skipping ahead about 60 pages or so. It's pretty daunting to think about reading a thread like this end to end.

Its wherever your backups are located. For example mine is located in my extsdcard/twrp/backup/....../*

*folder containing your backup file.

The (.....) Is so named because it seems its different for everyone. Mine is d291cff1 so it will look similar to that, meaning random combination of numbers + letters. Inside that folder will be your ROM backups. If you have a stock backup it should have stock in the title, Rom slot 1 and so forth. Put the folder for blue dogs inside (......) Folder, then from the safestrap interface you will restore the folder to your ROM slot like any other backup.

If you can't find the backup path try using es file explorer and from the root.../.... Search for twrp and it should find the folder for you.
