[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darian71:
Hi guys. I Just bought my GS4 AT&T and it came with the NC1 4.4.2 update. I used Towel Root. Worked like a charm. Installed xposed and Wanam for screenshots and 4 way reboot menu intending on installing safestrap. 4 hours later, my phone rebooted and I lost my baseband when it booted back up. Says baseband unknown. Thought I might just Odin back to stock and say heck with it all.. But for 1, I can't seem to find the NC1 Firmware, and 2 I seen a thread with some modems that are flashable with safe strap. My question is, which download do I need, to install safestrap recovery for the NC1 4.4.2, or would I be better off searching Sammobile or somewhere else for the Odin tar file to return to stock? Because apparently something went wrong with the Rooting. Or Xposed. i've been all over the S3 threads for awhile now, but this is a new animal all together and I am sorry if my questions seem a little ignorant, but that's exactly what I am about this device. And sure don't need a high priced paper weight. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kpirnie:
you wont find an nc1 tar because there isnt one.

odin to nb1. apply the nc1 ota... then root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darian71:
Am doing so now. I just can't figure out what caused me to lose the baseband/modem. Unless it was in fact the xposed installer messing with the framework. NC1 seemed to have good battery life. Again, sorry for the noobie questions, but what's the difference in NB1 and NC1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kpirnie:
:) xposed could have.

differences I found between nb1 and nc1... nc1 more stable better battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darian71:
Apparently I have other issues now. Even on stock NB1, still have no baseband. I didn't root NB1 first, I opted to flash the NC1 update, towel rooted, installed safestrap (for NB1 3.72 I believe) then flashed the NC1 modem from Rock Ratt, showed successful, but still unknown baseband showing. Ugghh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
Flash this in Odin's PDA/AP slot:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darian71:
I'll give it a whirl! I found a tool that supposedly created an NV backup tar file to my pc. I found it but wasnt sure if it went under the phone section,CSC,Pda or where. Lol. THANKS!!

Edit: No luck with the NC1 modem either. My Imei is listed as unknown as well. My EFS folder is there, and has files in it. But I'm not experienced much in that area of expertise. I remember my Captivate had the issue, but it would actually have a pop up or toast message saying the Imei was incorrect on it. This S4 doesn't even show the sim card missing when it out. It just has the circle where the signal should be with the line through it. Someone actually figured out a manual fix by entering the correct numbers and letters within the EFS folder using a terminal on the phone. I may end up taking it to best buy or somewhere. It was just odd it didn't quit till 4 hours after I had rooted and installed Wanam with xposed. Happened in the middle of a post I was writing in the S3 forums. [emoji22]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darian71:
Just wanted to share an update and apologize for taking up space in this thread. Safe strap or Towel root were not responsible for my unknown baseband/modem issues. It seems if I continually hold on my sim card while rebooting my device , I can aquire signal again and baseband. For about an hour or so until the phone reboots itself and again loses baseband. Doesn't make much sense but I have repeated the process 3 times now and the device will work each time. Thank you for your time and input. And for the NC1 Modem tar file as well guys. Will he in touch when I can get it repaired .IF I can get it repaired.☺?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kpirnie:
u should be able to get it repaired. LOL in my neck of the woods weve had 3 shops open up... and thats pretty rare where i live :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darian71:
Hey, screen and digitizer repair is a booming business! Lol. Oh, thought it was worth mentioning. I actually copied my S3 efs folder, moved the original from my s4 to the extsd, and pasted my S3 copy in the s4 efs folder and it works exactly as the S4 one does. They appeared to have a few different files looking at them , but when I copied into place some new files appeared to go along with my S3 files. I had to double check to be sure I even moved anything and sure enough, the S4 efs folder is now on my External sd with one file that's easily recognizable by all the 0's listed at the front of the filename. (Which I forget at the moment)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kpirnie:
i wonder if I could do that to my note... i think its an actual mount tho not just a folder so I think a dd would do it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darian71:
dd should . I would think so any ways. I had to factory reset my laptop where I had Ubuntu stored so I haven't got to play around with that program in awhile now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kpirnie:
yeah.... didnt change a thing for me. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tofast420:
I337m?

will this work with i337m canadian i know i don't need it but i would like to try it with my phone having some problems with sound cutting out it i think it might fix it﻿???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kpirnie:
please do t quote the OP. bad etiquet

no. this will not fix your sound. it is a custom recovery

Safestrap Upgrade

I have Safestrap 3.71 recovery, TWRP 2.6.3.1 and a 4.3 JB rom installed in the Stock Rom Slot on my SGH-I337

( AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4) phone.

Can I install Safestrap 3.72 recovery using the procedure below without

having to reinstall my 4.3 rom?

What benefits will I gain with the upgrade?

HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?

* Push the APK up to your sdcard.

* Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.

* Go into your old Safestrap app and

use the "Uninstall Recovery" button

* THEN, open a "file explorer" of some

sort (even TW "My Files" will work)

* Browse to where you pushed the APK

* Click on it and install like normal

* Once installed, open the APK

* Grant SU access

* Use the "Install Recovery" button

* All set, now you can reboot and

re-activate whatever rom-slot you

were using

KNOWN ISSUES:

[v3.72] ROM-SLOTs aren't supported yet

[v3.72] "Reboot Recovery" doesn't work in the APK?

I need to install Safestrap so that I can install a new (4.4 based) ROM, but Post # 1 on this thread only mentions later basebands than I have.

[IMG="From Post # 1"]http://i.imgur.com/2b5NpG1.png[/IMG]
​

Q. What version of Safestrap should I install now? And where can I download it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Hashbang173:
If I'm right you can just use TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
I'm using a 4.4.2 ROM, goldeneye 38.2/39 on my i337. Used SS 3.72
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SoonerLater:
What were you on when you installed SafeStrap 3.72?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Hashbang173:
Get phone info Samsung if your bootloader is MDB or MDL just flash TWRP using goo manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Like below, just noticed your screenshots. You're on MDL, unlocked bootloader. You don't need SS. Just install TWRP or other recovery, and you're good to go, flashing away. Just make a backup before you do anything else.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SoonerLater:
I just tried to backup Data (10970mb) and System (2330mb) partitions to my 64gb external SD card, but I don't have enough room. Is there a way to backup to a Windows PC via usb?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Ummm..not that I know of. Could be though.

I'd recommend move what you can from your microSD to your PC 1st, freeing up room on microSD, then backup to the microSD. Sorry I don't know how else to do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galaxy*$4:
guys i came across this, in the att all things mk2 and above thread.

we can flash google play roms? i dont plan on flashing them anyway but still pretty cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
A few, yeah. WiFi only works after a soft reboot and USB doesn't work right. Pretty nice though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] turruso:
can you get ride of safestrap by just uninstalling the apk? I am giving my phone to my sister and don't want her to mess the phone by entering the recovery menu

TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dave5777:
No, you need to use the SS app to uninstall recovery then unistall the app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thr33-F0ur:
In the app press uninstall recovery then you can uninstall the apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
No, you have to open the app and hit uninstall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
I'm running completely stock rooted 4.2.2 MF3 with safetrap 3.65 (TWRP 2.6.3.1). I want to update to Kit Kat. I want to unroot and do the OTA update to get there and then reroot. I wanted to know if this version of safetrap/TWRP works on Kit Kat? I don't need rom slots as I'm only using my phone stock rooted. If this version of safetrap does not work on Kit Kat please let me know what I have to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Version 3.72 will work on KitKat. You'll have to uninstall safestrap, unroot, take the ota updates, and reroot once you get to NC1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
Appreciate the info. Will NC1 replace MF3? One more question. I'm going to make a backup before I update to Kitkat. If something goes wrong after the update and I need to go back to my Jellybean backup how would I do that since my safetrap 3.72 is for Kitkat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wild1z:
I did some reading [stuck at flash screen]

Ok, I searched, read, re-read and then searched again. ;) This might be a dumb question but..

The warning on the OP talks about bootloops. I'm on NC1, stock rom, rooted. I followed everything to the letter, I believe. I get into recovery and can back up, wipe, restore my stock rooted rom, without issue.

The problem I have is the following..

I tried to install either of the GPE Nexus Roms (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239 Thanks JoeTech! and this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537495 Thanks Danvdh!) I flash the Rom, then the Loki script, Att modules...and reboot.. It gets stuck on the flash animation. I've tried just flashing the Rom and the Loki, Rom only... Neither Rom will boot.

My question is, Do I also need to flash a TZ Kernel or is 3.72 SS the cause? My stock rom was not encrypted.

Regards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
If you're NC1 stock, you're like us and have locked bootloader. Thus you're using SS for custom ROMs, but no kernel will be changed/flashed no matter what you do.

Are both the ROMs you listed in guut13's All NC1, MK2, S4 thread? he lists the ones he's personally tested and checked that work with our device and safestrap.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

once you go up like to NC1/NB1, you can't go backdown to MF3, even with a backup. I've never done it but seen many post about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
One more question. I want to tether once i'm on NC1 stock rooted. I have tried some apps on MF3 that haven't worked. How can I get my phone to tether without at&t bothering me of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
No guarantees on the immunity from ATT, etc. I use a ROM designed for international users the i9505 and it supports tethering inherently. No app needed. I use Goldeneye, in my signature. I'm on version 38.2, but the dev is about to have another update. My favorite ROM no holds barred. you should try it - its phenomenal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freestylejunki32:
Do not use loki with safestrap that is only for phones that don't require safestrap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
I tried uninstalling safetrap/recovery and unrooted. When I took the OTA update it failed. It had an att logo up and it said installing but then said it failed when the phone loaded and i'm still on 4.2.2. I cant check for updates for a day now so a little frustrated. Can I just odin the update as long as I have safetrap deleted? (since I need to install 3.72 when I update to KK). If I can and if someone can guide me to the right tar file I would appreciate it. I'm on MF3 right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
Use one of these files to udate to NB1 then take the NI1 ota update: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2674223

You can then re-root by following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-root-i337ucufni1-t2881298
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
OK I'll go ahead and download the rootable version and root with kingo. The only thing is will this cause me to lose my data as this appears to not be upgrading but replacing my MF3? I hate having the phone as it was on day 1 as it takes forever to get it back to speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
Correct, all user data will be lost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
Is there a way to odin the OTA update only so I don't lose data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] parkerj7uc:
You have to go to the app and uninstall recovery. Then after that you can uninstall the app.

”The Android people are free to do exactly what they are told.”
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] loganfarrell:
Make a backup of data in SS or in titanium. You can't make an ota file work with Odin. You have to Odin the NB1 file and then take the NC1 update. Then root with towelroot and install supersu. Then busybox. Then selinux mode changer. Then whatever the latest official safestrap is (3.72?) (Sorry, concussion is making me hazy on specifics.) But before you do this process you should make a backup of whatever is important to you and restore it afterwards. I don't remember the compatibility of older SS versions data backups to the newest official version, so you may want to research that or maybe someone else can chime in there, or use an alternative like titanium.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] don2012:
Can I use this for sgh-i337z
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
Everytime I try the OTA update on my phone it fails at 26%. I'm seeing this issue but don't see a clear solution after a lot of searching. If anyone has a solution please let me know. Still wondering if i can flash the update through safetrap without losing all data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
The above seems rather clear to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
I am looking for a way to update without losing all data if possible. I'm not sure why the OTA update isn't working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
loganfarrell gave you the solution,i.e. backup your user data using safestrap then restore after taking the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
Ya i see that. From my understanding that will backup apps and bring them back. I was just trying to see if there was a way to actually do the update without losing any settings etc and have my phone basically "update" rather than having to start over typing in my google password, bluetooth, wifi settings etc. If this is the only way I'll do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
If you're on MF3, you can find and flash the MF3 Unadulterated ROM to your stock slot, uninstall safestrap, and take normal OTAs. You won't lose data that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
I went ahead and flashed the NB1 rootable file. I then did the ota update and it put me on NI1 (I was trying to get to NC1 like the previous posts say). I'm unable to root this version using kingo or towelroot. I'm reading that NI1 may not be rootable. Is there anything I can do to get this rooted or do I have to odin NB1 again and never update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ALD3:
Did you use towelroot v3??? I'm not on NI1 but here is info.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51130818
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
Really appreciate the help. That worked and I was able to root and install recovery on NI1. I noticed all of a sudden when I open the safetrap app it shows the phone as not rooted with no recovery installed inside the app. The phone is rooted and recovery is just fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling safetrap (rebooted phone) and now it just says "unfortunately safetrap has stopped" every time. I have version 3.72 for Kitkat and am running 4.4.2 NI1 stock rooted. Any idea what could be causing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Did you run SELinux Changer? I don't know if you still need that or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
It says that it isn't compatible with my device (galaxy s4).. Safetrap was fine when i first installed. Any other suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wings9130:
For some reason it allowed me to install selinuxchanger today from that link. Changed the permissions and safetrap is good to go. Thank you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
Thx for letting me know but I have been using it all day with no issues. Others will have to chime in with their experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dave5777:
I wanted to try insane 4.4.4 after I Odin'd to NB1 to see if that would fix the Sim issues. After flashing in 3.75 when I rebooted it went straight to that screen no safe strap prompt. I Odin'd NB1 again and tried the same thing with 3.72 no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
Thx, I have only tested on my 100% Stock ROM and to restore a backup. It worked fine but its definitely not ready for prime time. I will keep working on it.

EDIT: replaced file with Safestrap-I337-3.72-kk-B02.apk using previous twrp version until further testing.

Will you be making this for the Verizon S4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] loganfarrell:
Recovery works fine after installing the apk for me, but there are 2 minor... Anomalies. 1: Inside the app when I hit install (I uninstalled when I had the 3.72 apk installed) it installs fine but says "Old Version", when in fact, when I boot into recovery, it is 3.75. That is strange as it isn't an old version but maybe there is a reason for that. It's not a problem or anything. I would like to understand it for my own education though. And also, even though I'm on stock slot, the splash screen says "[Safestrap: Enabled]" in green and with all the light orbs around the robot dude. I have never used a ROM slot on this device so it's weird that it's doing that. Once again, not an issue, but it would be interested in learning why. Keep up the great work [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] ! You do some damn fine work.

Hey would you be interested im working with myself and beans on some future SS updates? We have s4, s5, and note 3 updates in the works and if we all work together then we could be universal on version numbers etc..let me know!

Also heres the SS i made for S4, i was in the middle of changing twrp to 2.8 but i did mod it so the apk sets selinux to permissive on install (so no more need for selinux mode changer apk). I accidently changed the theme slightly when trying tk update to 2.8, i kind of like the default theme better so ill change it back eventually.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3pix73ftdq9hst/com.hashcode.safestrap-4.apk?dl=0

Maybe we can combine our apks before next release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
Hey Surge. Yes, I'm in. I will stay in touch with you and beans before releasing anything further. Thanks for the SS. I will check it out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Hashbang173:
Is this only for the AT&T S4? Will it work with the Verizon S4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Surge1223:
yer this will work for both, the partitions are the same on i337, and i545, also the default prop config for i337 seems to work fine on i545. But from a practical standpoint this SS doesnt add any additional functionality.

Awesome! Do you have hangouts? A lot of people have problems decompiling and recompiling the ramdisk properly, so its good to see you were able to. Have you had much progress updating the twrp version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] muniz_ri:
You give me way too much credit. I used the ramdisk from the safestrap version for the G900A. I have'nt been able to properly decompile/recompile either. I will definately pm you and beans if I make any progress.
