Sorry if it has been asked before but can safestrap be ported to other devices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Hashcode has ported it over to a few different locked bootloader devices, but I don't believe I've seen the source around. If there's enough of an interest, it may come, but bootloaders are getting difficult to exploit as you can tell by our device and the motorola OMAP devices like the Bionic.

Not sure what to do.. I rooted and Installed safe strap.. Downloaded a Google edition ROM flashed it but it just doesn't boot up and I get a safe strap screen that let's me choose to go back into recovery.. Also downloaded the lokid golden eye but also doesn't boot.. Odin isn't recognizing my device.. How can I get out of this? I'm don't doing this on my Buddy's s4..

what are you on mk2 or mf3

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

you probably need to download samsung usb drivers for odin to see device there will be a colored box on left side in middle of odin and then flash your firmware.

if there is no colored box then you need to download the drivers

if your on ucuemk2 head over to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 all this stuff is related to mk2 and roms that work.

if your on mf3 head over to this thread for roms that work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428254

keep in mind that many of the 4.2 roms have updated so you will have to look for older downloads. just make sure it is 4.2 touchwiz for mf3 or 4.3 tw for mk2. Not all roms will work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
GE ROMs don't work if you have MK2. Check out the all things MK2 thread in the General section, it tells you what works. If you can still get in to Safestrap, you can just switch back to stock. If not, you'll have to use the ODIN tars and then reroot and reinstall Safestrap.

I'm really stumped here. Computers no longer recognize the phone.. Safestrap just keeps coming up w this boot screen to press recovery or continue.. When I press continue it just reboots to the same screen.. Deleted and recreated a ROM slot I've wiped. Flashed golden eye safe strap and kernel modules still no way of getting it to boot into android.. Can't use Odin because it isn't recognized and all drivers are installed.. And my Buddy's pissed w no phone lol.. If anyone can help me out it would be awesome. I'm a long time flasher for years never been thru this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tommydrum:
Linux will have drivers.. So last resort boot into an Ubuntu live disk, apt install the adb tools, and push a zip for another rom temporarily.

You can also try another computer for Windows drivers. Sometimes windows is just crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pezlomd:
I am able to put others zips on through a micro SD card . But it seems as no ROM wants to boot maybe it's a problem with safestrap boot looping? Going to try another comp but without a comp recognizing it I'm not sure how I can Odin back to official to start fresh. He made no back up so can't do a restore.. What a mess

Quick question on settings

First off, thanks so much for putting this together! Once I found out my bootloader was locked (didn't think it was a concern when taking the OTA and I had just got the phone so it wasn't even rooted yet), I never thought I'd have a change to try other roms with this phone!

Anyway, I downloaded safestrap 3.65 for my MF3 based S4. I opened it up and just wanted to make sure I set things up correctly before I fill one of the custom ROM slots. The default shows the partition size to be 2800 MB, the data partition to be 2500 MB and the cache to be 300 MB (a total of 5.6 gigs). That seems very large relative to the suggestion of the description here:

http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/

(showing 1GB, 2GB, and 3GB, granted it's an older version). I'm assuming this app gives you more control but I'm a bit new so I'm not sure what to use for default settings.

I also only have 2.43 GB free so I'm going to have to remove some things. What kind of preparation do you guys recommend? Wiping phone before creating custom roms? Clearing out all music/picture files, etc?

Any suggestions you can give me for preparing for the custom ROM slot would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, guys!

Hey all. I'm thinking of installing safe strap on my dad's mk2 s4 and I have a question about wiping the stock slot. On my MDL running TWRP 2.5.0.2 I will usually wipe everything except my external SD card and do a clean install. Can I do that same thing on safe strap for his phone if I install a ROM on the stock slot, or do I just do the simple "factory reset" on the first wipe screen? If no, what partitions can I wipe?

you can wipe everything but if i were you i would install on slot 1 backup and restore to stock slot just in case it does not boot up. This way safestrap will still be there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dave5777:
I ran a ton of ROMs on ROM slots but always ran out of storage space after a few large apps. Now that we have the full MK2 odin it doesn't make since to not take advantage of your stock slot. I have Venomous VX on mine and it's awesome. Just do a backup of your stock system (only select system you don't need data and cache) then wipe everything but your extsdcard.

I agree. Stock slot installs are awesome, just be careful. Even if you aren't careful though, there is always odin to save you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] WordsworthESP:
Next time Safestrap prompts you to enter Recovery, hit Recovery. Go to the stock slot, Activate it. It'll boot. You're trying to boot into a ROM slot that's not booting, hence the bootloops.

After you get that up and running, you have to be very selective in which ROMs to flash. They have to use the stock kernel, and recently developers have been kind enough to make Safestrap versions of certain ROMs.

Hopefully by the time I'm back in the states, a bootloader solution or safestrap that can flash kernels will have emerged...

It's probably just that; to temper expectations. Until (or if) a breakthrough is made regarding the bootloader or kexec, the only major aspect of Safestrap that could really be improved is the ROM slot issues... and I'm not certain those issues are actually with the ROM slots or user error.

As always, we'll know when he tells us. There's nothing wrong with being hopeful or excited though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Safestrap is made for locked bootloaders. Yours is not locked, so you don't need Safestrap. That's why there aren't kernel modules, and what makes Safestrap safe is it never touches the kernel. I'm pretty sure there's a multi ROM solution for unlocked bootloader S4's already.
