No, I'll try that though. As I recall though, I don't remember installing it the first time. ... I'll try it and let u guys know! Thanks for your suggestions!

Update:

Installing busy box allowed safestrap to install.... however, it will not reboot in safestrap recovery lol... I'm no newbie, but I can't figure out what's really going on!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] rick jayy:
OK so what master patch do I flash if I'm nc9 ? I'm not getting this ?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] atvspecialties:
Just finished installing this on the s4 active i537. Flawless install. Everything is going well. I am using the Google camera. Flashed Rom, then flashed master patch then super su update zip.

Ok....I don't know what happened, but I had no luck. Keeps booting into stock recovery mode. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] atvspecialties:
Did you download the correct version. There's a safestrap only version. It took me a little reading to make sure I did. I flashed the rom. Went back to safestrap main screen & flashed the masterpatch zip then flashed the super su update zip. Then booted up.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Yeah. I downloaded the safestrap version. I'm not sure why it's not working. ... Could u post the files u used? I have to keep going back to Odin to flash stock. Safestrap fails when I try to restore my backup.

anyone having any success flashing roms on at&t i537 ne3 firmware? (besides hyperdrive)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
I just wanted to make sure this ROM works with i537 active.I saw that you said it does but it doesn't say anywhere that it is for this phone. I have hyperdrive at the moment and it is really draining my battery. I've tried everything and it still drains it. I wouldn't mind trying out venom but just wanted to double check before I flashed. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] atvspecialties:
I can confirm this Rom runs perfectly on the i537. I've been running it for a week. As of this morning, i am running ShoStock (SS version) and it too is running without ANY issues
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
Is the most recent patch .zip still working okay?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] atvspecialties:
Yes it is. I'm using v2. Thank you so much for that. Without it we couldn't use any other Roms
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
Hey, it's not a problem. I haven't been keeping up with the progress of the device, but I wanted to pop in and make sure that a new release didn't come out that broke the patch.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Masterpatch v2 worked just fine for me too. Camera patch though, not so much. Thanks for your work!

My flashable TWRP ROMs

Thanks for your work Taylor, and [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION]. Running SafeStrap 3.73 with i537_kitkat_masterpatch-v.2. :good:

My basic saved ROM on my extSDCard is Stock rooted android 4.4.2. From there I have saved several other ROMS which are variants of my basic Stock ROM which only differ with tweaks from Greenify, Wanam Xposed, and Titanium backup and selected apps.

I assume most smartphone users simply want email, music, a browser, and connectivity to computers (MTP and wi-fi) and bluetooth devices. Plus a few apps. This is my first smartphone and I bricked it trying to 'improve' it several months ago, and then got it restored by a technician at an AT&T store. I play it safe with now with my smartphone improvement thanks to the helpful backup/restore of SafeStrap. I assume it still has only one usable slot for a ROM on the I537 due to the locked bootloader, but saved TWRP backups on the extSDCard make SafeStrap seem like it has several ROM slots.

I wait and watch patiently for working ROMs and (if ever) an unlocked bootloader for this phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Can anyone confirm any working roms besides hyper drive? Deadly venom works as well, and I've tried wicked and graviton with no luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:

Would you happen to have the links to the version of Venom and the fixes you flashed? This is gonna be my first attempt at flashing a ROM, and I'd like to try Venom. I've got an S4 Active with MF3 stock. Appreciate the help.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
Ok. Thanks! Just to verify, the rom is for 4.2.2 and the master patch is for 4.4.2. Am I correct?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
The rom is 4.4.2. Don't download the 2.2.6 update for the rom. It's not acting right. Do u have safestrap and supersu as well? Also, make sure u flash the camera patch and download Google camera from playstore. Stock camera is broken bit Google camera works.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
Thanks so much for the heads up, but I think I forgot to mention that I'm on 4.2.2 MF3 stock. I want to flash the version for 4.2.2 Jellybean and I was hoping you could enlighten me as to what other files I need to flash. Hope I'm not too much of a bother. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
You're not a bother [emoji4]

However, I can't help u with 4.2.2. I started from 4.3 and went to 4.4.2. This rom is 4.4.2. If u want jellybean version, try going to the beginning of the op and reading through the older versions. If a safestrap version is available, you'll want that version since you're rocking the active. Be very careful what u flash though, as u could brick your device. It has to be flashed over stock rom, so make sure u have a backup saved preferably on ext SD card! Also make sure that u flash all patches BEFORE rebooting. Hope this helps even a little [emoji4]
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
Thanks for the info. I've been looking at that part of the thread and I downloaded the 4.2.2 version. But most of the posts are from a year ago so I dont know if there are any new fixes. I'll keep looking though, and asking. Thanks!

rooting i9295

IHi I'm not sure if i am posting this into the correct forum but here goes...

I'm using ubuntu and just upgraded to the s4 active i9295.... while the hardware seems solid the

samsung android experience is not very desirable.. very laggy for one with the occasional app crashes..

My s3 moves faster than this...

Question: Has anyone rooted this phone with heimdall??(i'm on ubuntu) if so can someone please point

me in the right direction?

Can hear. Anyone else having this issue? Its annoying I might have to ditch this ROM. Its soo fast but lacking in areas were twiz kills it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
I don't think TouchWiz has anything on stock Android, but yes, I have the same problem on my S4 Active with the Google Edition Rom. It's not a dealbreaker for me though, as everything else is functioning perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] stephensonbrady:
So far I've flashed omega and hyperdrive. They both seem to work really well for me, the one thing that I've noticed is that the actives hard keys (specifically the back button and the settings button) do not work... I'm assuming that this is because they are regular s4 roms and the regular s4 only has the capacitive keys... So does any one know of a work around or a way to get the back and settings key working? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DoctorProctor:
You need the Hardware Key Patch at the beginning of this thread.

Download the zip file to your sd card and use SS to install zip on your desired slot.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] link3256:
I flashed wicked and so far everything besides WiFi works I couldn't get WiFi to work anyone else have this problem
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
Did you flash the correct kernel modules corresponding to the firmware of your stock ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] link3256:
The app isn't letting me quote but Yea I did flash them I might reflash them or would that mess something up flashing them twice
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
It shouldn't mess up anything. Did you flash them right after the ROM install without rebooting first? Because that's the way you need to do it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] link3256:
Yes I did I guess I'll wipe it and try again I'll post whether or not it fixed it
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] link3256:
OK whenever I flash and go back it fail to flash the next 2 zips then when I go to reflash them safestrap isn't picking up my external sdcard unless I reboot recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
What size is your extSD card?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Just put the other zips on your internal memory since they are so small (I think they total around 4mb). If you are able to flash the ROMs from your external, then leave them on there, flash the ROM from the external. Once that completes flash the mod files from your internal and you should be good to go.

It is also important to note that users in the regular S4 forums have been reporting issues with 64gb cards being read properly, so that could be your issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
I've been using the Alpha ROM that I added to the OP (plus the launcher from KitKat) all day and I love it. I may have found a new daily driver.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] link3256:
Turns out I had a bad file I redownloaded and it work WiFi included its quite nice tho I'll be sticking with Google play ROM as a daily driver
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
No problem. Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
I hope this isnt to stupid a question, but when flashing roms with safestrap, is it necessary to remove the SIM card or does it matter??
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I've never taken mine out, never had any issues
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
Success!!

Cool!! I flashed my first ROM on my S4 Active, Venom's v8.2.0 for 4.2.2, last night and it went off without a hitch. The only issue is one which has been mentioned over and over, the camera. If anyone has new info about how to fix this, please let me know. This is a good looking ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
That's awesome. The only thing u can do for camera right now is download Google camera from play store. It works.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
I was going to use google camera but it states that it's only compatible with kit kat. Since I'm on 4.2.2, I figured it won't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Won't hurt to try. If it's not compatible it will say so in the play store
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
Unfortunately it does say it in the play store. It wont even give the option to install.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
So u basically have no camera?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
I'm using camera mx, but it seems to me that the picture and video quality arent the same as the stock camera. But I guess we cant everything huh. It'll do for now.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Check out cymera or cameringo. They are both pretty good. It's mostly free, but pro does cost. I got it free with appgratis though. Check that out too... Free apps daily. U can get some pretty cool paid apps for free as well. On a different note, I tried to install graviton again, but no go. Think I'm gonna stay with hyper drive until it's a sure thing that other roms work... Makes me sad
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
I'll look into the apps you mentioned. Thanks. I thought about trying a wicked or an omega rom, but I havent decided yet. Or maybe even hyperdrive. Not sure yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I tried to flash wicked, but I get stuck in bootloop. Every time. I always have to go back to stock and then restore. Not sure why
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
So I should be wary of wicked. Thats good to know. I'll keep it in mind.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lvillepunk85:
So I was able to flash a S4 4.4.4 GPE rom and it would boot fine and everything but I guess when updating xposed and restarting wifi would stop working. Would this be a modem issue or just a flashing issue in general? This is a link to the rom: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239

Also not sure if it matters which build matters if it is a easy fix.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
which set of instructions did you follow?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lvillepunk85:
I installed the rom, kitkat masterpatch and supersu2.02 zips all at once. Even tried it with a fresh mh3 install and still same result. Not the a biggie if not able to, I haven't tried venom just because my sdcard is pretty full but I might give it a shot.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
That easy?

May have to try this tonight

You installed the rom to your stock slot correct using safe strap right?

Did you have to worry about a specific base module to install? My base ends in NC9 , and I can't find anything about that to help me flash the rom you posted

I'm having the same issue as bolded
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lvillepunk85:
Correct. Apparently the wifi issue is a general issue with this rom so you HAVE to do a hotboot everytime to keep wifi, now you can reboot and still install mods and such but once you boot back up you need to do another hotboot to get back wifi.

As long as you are on kitkat and use my-blue-snog-box's 4.4.2 fix you should be able to install a s4 rom that has a safestrap install option.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
[MENTION=4197329]lvillepunk85[/MENTION], did you have to worry about a specific base? I currently have one that's not listed in the install instructions
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
was able to get this installed but couldnt figure out a way to get wifi working which is pretty essential for most of the apps I run while at home. Mainly Netlfix.

LOVE AOSP based roms but not having wifi work or a fix for wifi makes this rom practically unusable for me. Hope someone has a solution.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gino1974:
Bluetooth

Its me once again. I was wondering if you know of a solution for the speakerphone issue. When I use the speakerphone function, be it directly on my phone or via bluetooth through my car stereo, I can hear but I cant be heard. Do you have any idea if there is a way to remedy this? By the way, I am running the Deadly Venom v8.2.0, for the 4.2.2 MF3.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
No, gino. I'm sorry I don't have a solution for that issue, as I've never had any problems. Then again, I don't really use blue tooth much. Everything worked fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] megatronisabeast:
Are there any att roms that are working? I found mostly international versions. Also I am seeing several rooting methods. Is there one that is best now? My wife's phone is having some issues and want to improve it. I am just having trouble sorting through the threads and picking out what is current and not.Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
I just got the GPE 4.4.3 rom working that [MENTION=5789281]Xanthos58[/MENTION] was talking about.

My only issue now is getting flashing the 4.4.4 update fails every time.

I can write up and explanation of what I did after lunch if you would like.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] megatronisabeast:
That would be great if you would. I am on the Note 3 and have not been reading these forums until recently. Any help is appreciated. So the active and regular s4 can share roms?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
ohhh...now that i don't know. I generally just stick to the threads that pertain to my phone. Have you tried looking in the NOTE 3 threads?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] megatronisabeast:
No I mean can we use the same Rom for the s4 and s4 active? I can't tell because it didn't specify in the post if you could or not. It looked like it was for regular s4 phones. I already have a custom recovery, etc. for my note 3.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
Oh. Hmm. Now i will have to defer to someone else more knowledgeable. I was always under the impression you couldnt. Besides, iirc, the regular S4 bootloader is unlocked so you have a TON of more options vs the S4 active users
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] megatronisabeast:
That was what I was worried about. Just don't see much in the way of AT&T variant of active. International has do many options but it seems this phone is left out. : (
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
All i wanted was an AOSP rom and I have that now. Due to the locked bootloaders, this is in all likelihood my last Samsung phone ever. I realize we are a small population of their customer base and thats fine, i will just spend my money elsewhere. I dont want your sh**ty Touchwiz on my phone, but thats a personal preference.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Chance Ill:
Having a issue with rom slots/internal memory. As the picture suggest, I have no internal memory available or isn't recognized by safestrap. So far, I've flashed back to stock (MF1 4.2.2 from MF3) via one-click and wiped internal storage space completely to no avail. Simply haven't been able to find a definitive solution to fix.

Hours of continuous searching. Anyone familiar with this issue? Possibly corrupted?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You can try installing Busybox, it has helped fix various other SafeStrap issues, but I don't think it will help with this. It's worth a try though.

Also are you installing the correct version of SafeStrap for your firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Chance Ill:
Dead end with busybox. ? I'm running 4.2.2 MF1 with safestrap 3.65 installed. I've also had 3.7x installed to see if it would make a difference to no avail.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I'm having an issue restoring from my ext SD card. Like yours safe strap says I don't have enough memory. ...I have 8g available, and restore takes 2 seconds , says successful but then phone will not stay on...I have to go through odin and restore to factory settings.... I'm thinking this is my card needing to be formatted. Haven't tried it yet. I'm on ne3.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Has anyone been forced to take this new NH update??
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] namitutonka:
I wasn't forced to upgrade, even though the system prompted me about an available update. I had problems with my wife's phone when she called me from work saying subscriber is not available when I was on NE3. Those communication problems went away when I updated to NH3, which is supposed to have improved communication and texting. I then successfully rooted my AT&T SGH-I537 Samsung S4 Active using W0lfdroid's method at http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2014/09/Tow...or-Later.html. Xposed, Greenify, and Safestrap 3.73 are all working fine. Still only the single ROM slot though with SafeStrap. SafeSrtap successfully backed up it's TWRP recovery files to my externalSDcard, which in my opinion is as close to a workin ROM as I care to get.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
I wasn't having any problems on ne3. I decided to do what u said a while back and stay on stock.... I gave up on trying to get different roms to work. I kept getting the update prompt and I kept choosing later. The other day I pick up my phone and it said it was updated. I never chose to update.

I'll try this and see what happens! Thanks Nam
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] namitutonka:
We have a nice phone, useful for many basic needs, in fact it is a pretty great phone. We can root and run many apps requiring root. Thanks to the great people on XDA and elsewhere for pointing us in the right directions for maximizing our phones usefulness. Lots to say about the locked bootloader, both pro and con.

It will be a long time before I can justify buying a replacement.

Next buy we will both know better. Hmmmm.... maybe 2019?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Yes it is :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] alexnaoumi:
I have an att version s4 active and I'm using it with T-Mobile service. This question is to anyone running hyperdrive. If I flash hyperdrive using safestrap, what do I enter under carrier for hyperdrive's options in aroma installer? ATT (carrier who supports) or T-Mobile (the carrier I'm using)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
T-Mobile
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] alexnaoumi:
Do I still need to flash the att compatibility zip file as specified in the OP??
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I think so, but I can't remember. You should probably flash it, but you will then have to manually enter your APN for T-Mobile. I think there are some other files you need in the AT&T Compatibility zip, but I could be wrong. I would search the Hyperdrive thread because somebody there will definitely know the answer.
