yes I am back, it is really hard to concentrate when you're in a panic lol, thanks to guys like you that can point the way.

Now, what about Kingo? I have it, installed it but didn't use it yet after all ive read in the last week or so. Do you recommended I root, cannot leave with out root, too many apps i I use requires it.

Thanks again buddy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Several people have done it and talked about it here - nobody likes the fishy stuff but with a super user flash it quickly removes their super user app. I'd say go for it, especially if you have a bunch of apps that need root and you can't live without em.

I've been in those "oh $h!t" moments before. Glad you're back up and running.

I tried to OTA to get the new modem (dropped calls and bad reception) and couldn't. I even odin the De La Root and my OTA failed. So I ended up flashing the new software via Odin and using Kingo. I was nervous but here's what I did. As soon as I got root, I SS'ed, flashed SuperSu.zip from recovery, then did a factory reset. Then SS'ed again, made my partitions and restored my roms. I haven't had any issues.

Do backups to internal SD work? Or does the progress bar just not work correctly? Been backing up for some time now and nothing seems to be happening.

Edit: Appears as if it just takes longer than I'm use to.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] maahfu:
Hashcode, First and foremost thank you for Safestrap. sorry if this has been address, however the search function is down for the moment. Is it possible to get bigger partitions with SS? I will probably never use 4 slots so I would just give slot 2 8 to 16 GB. Is this possible ? Sorry I just have several beefy apps and games that use space.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
I'm curious about this too, but in the mean time, you could try moving the big ones to an external SD card

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mdonnelly1127:
Now I'm sure this is a very noob question but I am now currently running a Galaxy S4 using Loki and I know a lot of people are running safestrap. What are the downsides to doing this because I want to pick up a Note 3 and not entirely sure if I have the patience to wait for the developer edition considering the massive backorder. So was debating on using an upgrade on my acct and getting the Note 3 retail. I know the upside is I save $400 bucks but I just want to know about safestrap. What are pros and con's if any?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anthony92170:
i dont really see a big downside at all if your on loki it is better because if they keep getting tighter on flashing like they are we may never be able to flash with loki you will be good to go for a bit as long as you dont take ota's hope that helps. some people will say stay with the s4 loki me i say ditch it 2 reasons 1. your phone is 16gb and 2. note 3 is faster better on battery and is 32gb
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Grompy:
Any chances of being able to browse internal sd for install zips instead of just external?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anthony92170:
yes you can just tap at top it will switch to external or internal which ever you need
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] maahfu:
Yeah, but would be nicer to have it on internal, i like to keep my sd card clean i have a lot of media and docs on there.

New version up in the OP:

Safestrap v3.64

CHANGES:

[v3.64]Fixed booting while plugged into charger

[v3.64]Fixed init.*.rc file processing order during 2nd-init

Enjoy

HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?

Push the APK up to your sdcard.

Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.

Open an "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

Use the "Install Recovery" button

All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] samg77:
I only want hyper drive and I install alot of apps so the idea of virtual slots with less space for apps isn't speak appealing. I want 100% of my space for my one rom. What's the best way to accomplish this, can I just install Hyper drive to the stock slot so I can have all of my space? If not what do you recommend.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] parcou:
Being new I follow a post that show how to set up SS and slot-1 and removed\deleted the stock partition so HD rom in where stock would be. Am I in a lost stated to ever upgrade or am I just misunderstanding?

I have a T-Mobile Note 3. I placed TWRP 2.71 on it today did a backup and no problems. I then installed safestrap. Installation was fine. I then flashed an att rom and no problems all functions worked. after that I used safestrap to flash an att modem and now the computer won't recognize my phone. The phone turns on but stops at a Blue android pirate with a lightning bolt. I am experienced with adb and fastboot and could use someone to hold my hand and walk me through it possible to recover. I am disabled and it is my only contact to the outside world. I have attached pictures to help.

You might be able to recover it by booting from an external SD-card. The details are all in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531224

That is a lot to read but basicly:

1. Get a 32GB SD-card of good quality -- class 10.

2. Use Windows and format the card with 'exfat' type of file system.

3. Copy the boot file that 'Noobtoob' has made available in that thread onto the SD card.

4. Insert the SD card into your device.

5. Turn on the device while pressing [volume-down] and [home] to enter download mode.

6. Odin flash a complete firmware package.

I'm looking for a little help here. I'm not familiar with safestrap and want to make a back up but don't want to mess anything up. I am on the stock nc4 rom and rooted with towelroot. Do I need to be on stock slot to make the backup and where does it save to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes u need to backup stock slot. If u want the reassurance of a backup. normally saves to the extsd. U can choose.... U can also backup and restore custom slots if wanted. Stock slot is recommended for the best performance.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mikeman45:
Thanks. I only ask because I made a backup and it said it was successful then I got myself into a jam and tried to restore but there was no backup anywhere to choose from. I checked on sd and internal to make sure but I could not find it. So I guess the question I should be asking is how do I restore my back up.

It's stored in the twrp folder. U should be able to just hit restore then select the backup u want. Just make sure both r set to extsd....

You should prolly go read the op of the firmware thread. And beans nc4 thread. And the safestrap thread. Then come back here. Rather then have it retyped here.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mikeman45:
Has anyone seen this yet. What is it and how would I go about fixing it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
Applications are assigned a user ID (UID) when they are installed and the files in their /data/data/{app name} directory are all given the same UID. The matching UIDs give the application access to the files. If you install an application, back up '/data', uninstall the application, reinstall the application, then restore '/data', the new UID of the application will probably not match the old UID of its data directory and the application will fail.

Some applications will resynchronize these UIDs for you -- I think I've read that Titanium backup will.

I have never seen that dialog and I wonder what application it belongs too. It doesn't look like a system message.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mookiexl:
Ive only seen it while dual booting , for note 3 with safestrap, and on note 2 with devil. I dont know if partitions aren't being wiped properly or what but I do know you are about to start losing apps that you have installed and it will continue until you wipe your internal sd. I've read almost all info available for this situation and all suggested fixes are just temporary patches that wont stop the problem from resurfacing. Don't backup the rom your using because your only going to save the situation. Did you start getting indexsevice battery drain before you got the error? For me indexservice was #1 in battery usage when this happened. I think me being a flash whore was the culprit.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

I switched from rom slot 1 to stockrom and now when I try to switch back to rom slot 1 I only have the option to create a rom. I know the rom in slot 1 is still on the device because the space available on the sd but how can I access it again.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

I forgot fixing permissions through recovery was a fix lots of people said worked for them. Also there is a log saved in the system folder that list all the apps that supposedly have uid mismatches though I forgot the subfolder it is in, the name is something like uideventlog. The apps that are on that log are the ones that I mentioned will uninstall themselves.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] simonintx:
Hopefully this is an easy answer for someone. I have the same issue. I am able to install custom ROMs into slot 1 and 2 but the stock slot has a system partition size of 0. Is there anyway to reset the stock slot so I can recreate the stock slot and increase the system partition? I noticed I am unable to increase the partition size when I try to create slots 3 and 4. I tried reflashing SS, uninstalling the recovery and reinstalling the recovery, also tried a downgrade version of SS. I tried to mount the system partition but it won't let me select it. It just seems stuck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Check both my NC4 Root & Odin links in my sig, In Odin you can flash a PIT file that is supposed to redo the partitions to OEM.

I have never needed or used the PIT file, but the Odin link spoells it out pretty clearly.

If you choose this direction, I would caution you to do a little more research on the compatibility of the PIT file and NC4 OTA if that is what you are on. Again, I've never been on NC4 OTA and I've never used the PIT file, but the PIT file DOES work when partitions need to be redone.

Hope this helps. Let me know how things turn out so I'll know for future questions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] simonintx:
Sorry a couple of question before I brick my phone. I'm on the Alliance ROM with the NC2 kernel. I want to install the Alliance ROM to the stock slot. Are you telling me to use Odin to flash KK stock pit file to repartition the slot? Then re-root, reinstall safestrap. Not sure if this is true but isn;t the stock slot created automatically so I can't increase the size? I know some of my steps are off here but I'm trying to save myself some time before I get started.

edit: i want to add the alliance rom to the stock slot because it's currently in slot 1 and the battery drain is bad. I read several places that stock slot would help this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
If you're on NC2 you can Odin back to MJE and start from scratch if you so desire (thanks to Hash for NC2)

I mentioned PIT file because others in the past who had partition issues fixed their issues flashing the PIT file in Odin during the start from scratch process.

IF possible, backup, then install rom on stock slot, delete slot, see if batt issue is resolved.

I've not dealt eith partition issues extensively which is why I suggested extra research.

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] simonintx:
Yep you're correct. Last night, I downgraded to the JB. I used odin and flashed the bootloader, pit file and the modem. The system partition was reset. I couldn't ever figure out the partition and battery issues on KK but I'm happy enough on JB. Thanks for reminding me I could move down and thanks for the advice!

Edit: just noticed you have a donate button. I'll buy you a beer
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm glad you got it up and running. Are you planning on upgrading to KK or staying on JB?

In case you weren't aware, you can flash NC2, then flash ONLY the MJE modem in odin while enjoying all of KK goodness.

Donations are always appreciated, but helping someone get up and running is a great feeling :)

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] simonintx:
I'll keep that in mind but I'm going to stay on JB for a while. The battery life is great and I don't miss anything in KK. All of this stuff takes time, the research, the reading of threads, the wiping, the flashing, downloading of files, crying, debloating, reloading apps, setting up my launcher etc etc. I'd kick my own ass if I was trying to make my phone "better" and got bricked again. Leaving it alone for now until something cool catches my eye. Thanks again
