So the thing with safestrap it's all about compatibility, if you can flash it the oldschool way you can flash it to a slot. (As long as it's the same kernal!) If you flash a different kernal it will break all slots that don't support that kernal.

You could try flashing it to the second slot, worst case scenario it doesn't boot, and you just switch back to stock slot.

if your rooted and running knockraid rom, you just need to install the new KK safestrap 3.72 (that will install the correct boot.img)

then copy a custom kitkat of your choice to sdcard( Bri has one out, and some newer ones coming since kk safestrap is here ) or I have the stock version of MGL

then boot into recovery and install, just make sure the custom rom has root built in. You do not need odin

So what is your default setting, y are u intentionally being difficult? (I apologize if I offended you somehow).

ok, fine Wanna hear the whole story, rather than answering me.

I wanted to start downloading hd vids to my pc, specifically a music demo to hand out to potential employers, (I am a musician).

I remember not long ago WMM did NOT support HD, so the first thing I did was open WMM and fruitlessly look for a "check for update" button which does not exist. Then I googled it, tried to NOT install windows essential 8 (cause I already have 7 installed and WMM is the same, u just get an update with 8). So I try to install just the WMM update, but then other crap starts installing, (even though I clicked "advanced" and unchecked free bloatware). Then I quickly cancelled what was left of the install, rebooted my pc, navigated to system restore, and went back to before stuff was installed. Then, like a fool, I came here looking for help.

"what resolution are you shooting in" I ask

"the default one" you reply -

Note 3 SMS Issue after 4.4.2 OTA Update (Straight Talk)

I have two ATT note 3's, my own, which is on 4.3 and rooted, and my wife's is completely stock. Mine tried to do the OTA update but fails to complete, most likely because I'm rooted, I'm guessing. Her OTA went through and she was updated to 4.4.2. Since the update SMS appears to send out fine from the phone, but never actually does based on testing. The APN settings initially reverted back to AT&T, so after setting that back, mobile data worked fine again.

We both recently ported from AT&T to Straight Talk and use an AT&T Microcell in our home. It has all been working well until the 4.4.2 update to her phone, that's all that changed.

I have tried quite a few different APN settings but have seen no change. Right now I am not sure if this is an Android issue or Straight Talk issue. I've done the very obvious things like rebooting the phone, I'm just unsure on what the next troubleshooting steps would be, other than contacting Straight Talk or googling these symptoms, but it's just a very broad problem to find a specific fix for.

It'd be nice to learn how to do these things myself so I don't have to constantly rely on others to do the hard work for me and it would give me something to do in my excess amount of free time. Being the hero of the day that sticks it to the man and brings freedom to hundreds of people is always nice too ;)

Good Morning, so I have read a couple of pages back and i've seen some ppl posting that they have had a warranty replacement with JB on it.

I'm debating between the S5 or the Note 3, I know there's no root for KK on the S5 and I believe also on the note 3 (at least for now). My question is, is the note 3 shipping from ATT already with KK on it?. I'm leaning more towards the note 3 but I would like to root it and put safestrap and then flash a KK ROM.

Thanks for the response.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
My Note 3 shipped with Jellybean, but that was a month ago. Depending on how old the stock is at your local AT&T store you may get lucky and get one with JB. If you get one with KitKat you could always return it within the 14 day return period.

The S5 doesn't seem much better than the Note 3. It's more like an S4 plus. I say go with the Note 3.

When flashing custom ROM's, I like to start out as clean / fresh as possible.

So my question is, when using SafeStrap what partitions can I wipe/format without making the system unbootable after the flash?

/data

/cache

/dalvik cache

/system

I don't care about losing user data/files/settings/anything. Just want to start 100% clean but also working.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
If you wipe the system and don't flash a ROM your phone will not boot. You'll have to go through the lengthy process of restoring it and rooting it again. Wiping the cache, data, and dalvik cache is essentially just a factory reset and your phone will still boot afterwards without having to flash a ROM.

If you are flashing a ROM, then go ahead and wipe everything including the system. A ROM usually contains a new system to replace the one you wiped away.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajster1989:
If your using safestrap DON'T format a thing!, just pick the slot you want to install your rom on and flash it. Each slot keeps its own data, cache, and system images.

Just make sure you got the free space, if you plan on using the new rom primarily then you can back up and factory reset to give you maximum storage before seting up safestrap.

Goodluck.

Hello, I just bought a certified refurb from AT&T earlier this week. It came with MJ5! :D

My question, how is KitKat and is it worth updating to? The battery life is pretty great and I'm loving how smooth the phone is operating, rooted and all. Is KitKat just as stable? Would there be disadvantages to updating to stocked rooted rom or a custom rom running KitKat?

I have a pretty stupid question that I don't think deserves a thread and I don't want to clog up the bootloader bounty thread:

As I was drifting off to sleep last night an idea popped my head: maybe it's possible to completely obliterate the phone so it is completely blank like it just came off the assembly line before it was designated to become an AT&T or Verizon Note 3 and flash it with a T-Mobile image and transform the phone. Is this possible? I'm not talking about just a factory reset or system wipe or anything like that. I mean wipe EVERYTHING off of the phone to the point that it has no clue it's a Note 3 and won't even acknowledge the power button until we flash that T-Mobile image. I'm sure someone in the T-Mobile forum will be willing to supply us with it.

It makes sense in my head. I don't know if my description is clear enough, but I'm sure someone will understand what I mean and will hopefully be able to answer my question.

For those of you asking about the Knox issues about not having an app, this is a quote from another post.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJCacher:
Be happy to, but I think I've discovered something interesting related to this behavior.

Earlier today I was running Geekbench 2 and Geekbench 3 and noticed my scores were really low (50%) compared to other same-device results posted to the online results forum. After assuring I had correctly turned Power Saving mode off for my benchmarking (I had), I went carefully through all my system settings to see what might be going on. I discovered I had accidentally left the "Use for all screens" option checked under "Settings>Controls>One-handed operation".

Thinking this feature probably requires some sort of virtualization of the processes producing screen output, I reset the option and, sure enough, my scores went right back up to where they should be.

I thought I might post about that to the General forum later, but noticed this reboot behavior and got sidetracked trying to get an answer.

Turns out that having this option on also causes the weird booting behavior on my device, and, even weirder, after turning it off you still get the behavior the first boot after you turn it off. On the second and subsequent boots after disabling the "Use for all screens" the boot behavior reverts to normal.

Sorry for the long post, but I thought a more detailed description of my experience with this issue might be of help if others search for this.

I'm also very anxious to see if others can reproduce my results to see this rather unusual boot-time behavior change.
