Thanks for mentioning this as it continues to show 0 for system size. The original activation of a slot take awhile which is normal and has 2600MB allocated to the system part but then shows 0 after it's created. Very odd deal.

Hashcode:

Regarding your title "RECOVERY LOCKED/MJ7,MJE,NC2,NC4...", Safestrap still works well on MI9. I have been using version 3.71 since you released it but I use it only for Recovery.

Can I rebuild the ramdisk to include a newer TWRP, or have you modified the code from the original?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] makkonen:
I can second bigdaddie's issue.

I just picked up a GNote3, already running NC4, yesterday. I installed SS 3.75B04, following the instructions in Beans's nc4 with nc2 kernel thread.

I installed the ROM to the stock slot, and I didn't think it popped up an error message (edit: after going through it again, I'm almost positive it installed successfully the first time). Then I went to download mode, installed the new kernel, and rebooted to system. After the safestrap screen, I got nothing but black, and then it rebooted to stock recovery.

I rebooted back to safestrap recovery, tried to reinstall hltevzw_root_deodex_nc4.zip, and then noticed the FAILED message and entries about 'unable to mount /system' and 'unable to mount /systemorig'. I then confirmed the 0 size stock system slot, and started downloading the stock NC4 image so I could ODIN back into shape if this turned out to be unfixable otherwise.

(And now that download has failed 3 times. I do not trust rapidgator. Boooo.)

I was able to create a ROM Slot, and install and boot from it. But I'm not too comfortable with leaving everything in such a state of disrepair.

Anyway, just another warning that B04 does not completely crush the 0 size system partition issue. 2 hours until my stock rom download finishes, and I can try this from scratch again -- a less drastic solution would be fantastic, but I can't see one at this point.

edit: 2nd time through, I still had trouble booting deodex'd nc4, but it flashed without complaint, and the stock rom slot stayed viable. I switched to JasmineROM and everything seems to be working now. I have no better bug tracking information to provide. Thanks for the great tools, Hashcode and everyone else.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
sometimes it just needs a little practice ☺
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ovelayer:
So is the stock slot the only one that can be flashed to?

I notice roms saying to flash to the stock slot.. but isn't the stock slot what u would want to leave stock?

And flash to like rom-slot-1?

Hope an NC4 version comes soon
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
No on B04 you can flash to ROM slot. But there are a few Roms out there that say flash in stock slot because it runs better. Jasmine for example runs flawlessly on stock slot but in ROM slot its buggy and there seems to be a clash between stock slot and ROM slot for some essential services. BT WiFi thongs like that.

But no matter what as of right now I would have to flash the nc2 kernel to get safestrap to work as I am on the nc4 kernel
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Flashing a custom ROM can be done to all Rom slots in SS 3.75 B04...

Flashing a new version of SuperSU, or system file that will affect all rom slots must be flashed on Stock Slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ovelayer:
Ty ..

But I would have to flash the nc2 kernal for ss and most roms to work.. so hopefully a nc4 version will come?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] statustray:
Hey guys... dumb (but hopefully quick) question for you. How do we update Safestrap from one version to another? I was coming from JB and now am on KitKat. I see where it's been stated:

As I am new to Safestrap, this has me somewhat confused.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MichaelMcC:
Mentioned it in the OP but you download the new version to your device. Then open your old version and tap Uninstall Recovery. Then close it again. Then install the new version from the location that you downloaded it to. Then run/open the new version and tap Install Recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] statustray:
Thanks for the quick reply. For some reason even though I have installed Safestrap, it does not display as an app in my list of apps, nor does it display in Application Manager either. By chance does it display in your list of apps? Hmmmm interesting indeed.....

* Update - I simply attempted to install the newer version of the app, and it saw the previous install. I then told it to remove that, and then installed the current version for KitKat. Things seem to be ok now ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MichaelMcC:
Glad you figured it out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
Yes you would have to flash the NC2 kernel or the unified KK Kernel which is NC2 as well. A link can be found in the Jasmine rom thread

Now I'm stuck in bootloop. Anybody done this?

ss itself seems to run but i believe in the op it states it is made for the nc2 kernel

i installed su busybox and ss

i tried to flash jasmine to rom-slot-1 with gapps

installation went fine

when i rebooted the phone i got passed the spashscreen but then went to a black screen

i figure it is because i did not flash the nc2 kernel

i would like to run a rom that does not need me to flash the nc2

where oh where is our cm11 luv lol :laugh:

I have not rooted much on my newer phones and things have changed since my Incredible days... :o

Been following the instructions to get my Verizon Note 3 rooted. So far I have used Kingo to get root status, downloaded JRummy's Busybox (installed) and am currently trying to figure out the recovery end of it. I followed the directions for SAFE STRAP 3.72 KitKat and am having some issues getting to a custom recovery. My end goal is to install some custom ROMs, like Pac Man.

When I ran safestrap everything looks good but when I reboot it goes to a black screen. I pull the battery and it will reboot. What have I done wrong? Thanks for any help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Unless ur on a dev edition n3 DONT flash Pac-Man or any other non note 3 rom. Have u tried installing ss again. It's in the op to try again if u don't see the splash screen.

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] eth3rton:
I'll give that a try. Custom ROMs can't be installed on the Note 3 unless its a Dev Edition - which I don't believe is available with Verizon? :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes a dev edition is available from Samsung for vzw. You can flash custom Roms but they have to be based from stock roms and stock kernel.... no asop or non stock kernel roms. It will trip knox an probably brick.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] eth3rton:
$700. Ouch, won't be doing that. Maybe when the N4 comes out. I think Knox is already tripped - says Custom when I reboot and at the bottom of device info in the settings. Does it matter?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No custom don't matter. long as the knox counter is still 0x0 then u can Odin back to stock unaltered state for warranty or whatnot.

Perhaps this has been addressed, but whenever i reboot, i get a SafeStrap: disabled splash screen. I am running Bean NC2 dump. Whenever i open the SafeStrap app, it says installed but Safe System: Not Active

Am i missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ncdub:
It will not report a "safe system" unless you're on something other than the stock slot. You sound like you're good to go. If you flash a ROM in one of the ROM slots, SS will show "safe system".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
It won't show active or enabled until you're booted into a ROM slot other than stock, it is normal behavior.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minibuns:
Is there a status update on this particular issue? Just wanted to ask since we are coming up on a year since this thread was introduced.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
I'm sure he has bigger fish to fry. Rom slots are kept as ordinary files in the data partition, therefore the rom slots will be encrypted. The programming would have to deal with the system encryption and when you throw multiple roms, possibly kernals then it becomes a monumental task to support it. How many people are there that want encryption and SafeStrap?

I would reevaluate the need for total encryption. Most password databases are very secure if you use strong passwords. The government can force you to reveal your passwords ... just saying

Man this is hard

Ok so I'm trying to follow and I'm a veteran at this and still and figure out what's going on.

So I have safe strap 3.72

I'm using the base of MC4

I'm on stock ROM rooted.

Safe strap in installed and I can get into boot.

I used the Towel method of rooting.

So I have RLS8 on SD card

I have Safestrap APK on SD card.

Now I believe you guys advise to install on stock ROM OK got that.

The part I don't get is the go into Download mode and ODIN NC2? Why? I'm already on NC4 what are these extra steps.

Hope someone can help I do appreciate it!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Because of the base all the custom roms here require just the nc2 kernel to boot. It also allows possible kexec in the future and is permissive.

Hyper drive 8 Sorry about that.

I finally got it to work. But I had to wipe the stock slot a few times and install the whole ROM a few times to get it to run with out any errors popping up.

But it's up and running for 24 hrs now and it's good. Only flaw I have is when I go into setting from the home screen and when I choose the S5 display mode and click on security I get a UI stops working message. If I select the Note 3 display method for setting then I'm able to access security.

Hello I have a question. I'm trying to get this installed on my sprint note 3. I have decompiled the apk switched up the mount points in the config file to show 26 for USERDATA. Then I also took away all referenced terms of 'DATAMEDIA' and replaced it with USERDATA. Then I recompiled the apk. Installed it. Then went to install a second rom and it wont let me. The free space portion is still referencing block 25 and not 26. Which is datamedia and userdata. My datamedia shows 15mb free and my userdata shows at leaat 6gb free. I cant seem to get the program to pull block info from the right mount point. Even though I have verified the changes were accepted and properly saved. What am I doing wrong?? Any help would help. I searched and found nada for my phone. Yes I know my bootloader isnt locked, but I still want to install it and have it working. Any ideas??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] yearn2burn:
I would suggest you install 3.65 app. Open the app and remove recovery. Reboot to make sure recovery is in fact removed. Then delete the app. Reboot once more then install 3.75.

However, I don't think you need to be on 3.75 for the actual installation of KitKat. You only need to install 3.75 after the upgrade.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
I don't know if what you are trying to can be done because I haven't looked at the Android Java code but you probably also need to change the scripts. They are written into '/system/etc/safestrap' but you should edit the source in the Android package.
