ok cant find a fix for this. Im runnng full stock NC4 right now. I obtain root then install busybox and then get the newest safestrap (3.75 b4) installed. I can boot into safestrap, backup and wipe and then when I try istalling ANY ROM it fails every time. I have tried everything I can think of and can find to no resolve. Has anyone run into this issue that can point me into the right direction. Thanks!!!

Also have odin3 knowledge and had to reflash NC4 stock when i soft brick the device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] meansixx:
Got a replacement phone and its updated to the latest official update. Will this work or no
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes it will work on nc4. Just towelroot Install busybox to system then install safestarp. Most roms will require odining the nc2 kernel to boot.

So has any group picked up SafeStrap development, or is it dead?

So has any group picked up SafeStrap development, or is it dead? I am still getting low memory notifications after a while no matter what Rom I use. There is a lot of space used by 'Other'

I believe this is safestrap
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] balla48801:
Probably an app or something. Ive never had a low memory notification. Ive had safestrap installed since day one with no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Nightmare_24_7:
If you're using a rom slot other than stock you will have that problem. Only fix is to backup rom and flash in stock slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
+1 only booting into stock slot will give an accurate reading of memory/storage useage.

Need some advice.

On a replacement device, old phone was warrantied. I cannot get the recovery to open at boot.

Rooted

busy box installed

super user installed

root checked

Installed safe strap and recovery ...

When I reboot I grt the "custom" with the open lock on boot but the phone skips sage strap recovery and just boots? Do I need to flash the NC2 kernel?

[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] mentioned in the OP that could happen. Uninstall reboot and try to reinstall SS.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
Uninstall SS?

Uninstall safestrap. And try again.

I installed Safestrap-HLTEVZW-3.71.apk. I am rooted and have busybox installed. Running nc4 firmware on sm-900v. After installing the recovery from the app, I reboot the phone. I will get the splash screen and then nothing. Have to pull battery to get phone to boot again. Any ideas?

About going back to jellybean i still have orignal restore back from 4.3 im on 4.4.2 now can i just flash back between the two
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
No. You need to odin back to 4.3 then reroot. But you can only do this if you never had the nc4 bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vinnyj85:
How do i check what bootloader im on
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thornev:
Settings.. About Phone ... Build number. NC4 would be the last 3 characters.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vinnyj85:
Ooo im on a custom rom ng2 im running alliance
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
1. Did u take the ota?

2. Did you odin nc4?

3. Did your phone come with kk pre-installed?

If yes to any of these, you're on nc4 bl.

Unfortunately, that's not always true...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thornev:
The developer of the Delta Rom did not include the kernel version, so you can't tell. But since your Baseband is MJE, unless you changed your radio firmware, your kernel would also be MJE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vinnyj85:
I didnt take the ota and i think i flash a patch in odin to allow me to update to 4.4.2 safe straped i remember it saying this would be the only way i can revert back to stock im just afraid to go forward with anything i hate lock bootloaders
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] slushbilly:
I am confused. What version of this should I use if I am running on NC4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] music_man185:
I also took the Ota update, and now I have nc4 4.4.2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
You should be fine then. If you didn't do anything I listed, you're on nc2 bootloader.

---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

3.75 is for all kk phones.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

Correct. I was merely trying to point out build # won't always help here. While modem/radio and kernel versions are shown by what is physically installed, build # is whatever the build.prop says it is. And many devs will change that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:

I have searched all over and can't figure something out. If I am on NC4 and I install hyperdrive to the stock rom slot with safestrap v3.75 b04. I will then have to flash the NC2 bootloader via odin right? Also if I run into issues, if I reinstall my stock backup will I have to then flash the NC4 bootloader or will the backup be good to go? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Unfortunately Scott didn't list specific install instructions. But it says based on nc4, so you should be good to go.

If you are on full nc4 and you odin nc2 bootloader, you will soft brick your phone. So don't do that.

And if you need any additional information about installing the rom, check the rom thread or it's q/a thread for your questions. You'll have a chance of a better response in there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No u need to odin the nc2 kernel only. Not bootloader. And the nc4 backup should work on the nc2 kernel also. But u can always just odin the nc4 kernel if needed.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] slushbilly:
Thanks for info. I have hyperdrive running. It is smooth.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] donelam304:
I just went thru all this and if you try to flash hyper drive on NC4 it will bootloop. That's what it kept doing on me and when I tried to Odin the NC2 kernel it soft bricked. I'm rooted again, but can't get hyper drive to flash. And I can't get the nc2 file to stay. It says in still on NC4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] slushbilly:
Did you install hyperdrive on stock slot? Do a wipe before install and wipe after install then odin nc2. That's what I did and it works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] donelam304:
I done it like they said to and tried it like in the video on slot 1 and it kept failing. And then someone said to do it in the stock slot. And when I done that it put it in bootloop. Yes I done the wipes also. I ended up having to flash a Verizon 4.4.2 stock rom. And it has NC4. I tried to flash back to NC2 and it won't.

Everything under az_biker's space is for the NC2 variant. Including the apk that was uploaded very recently.

edit:

ahh i see. so you have to flash the NC2 Kernel for it to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
You're correct, I should've made that 'yes' more clear.

3.75 works with NC4 when you follow the process outlined in my "NC4 OTA" thread, which includes flashing the NC2 firmware.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tateg:
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Months ago I rooted and installed safestrap 3.75B04 with JRummy's busybox from the appstore. Safestrap installs fine and I see the lock icon on powerup. But "reboot to recovery" is greyed out in safestrap. I also get an error when I try to do it manually. My phone has the virgin OTA of NC4 installed. Did I miss a step somewhere? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling safestrap and busybox several times. Looking at the recent posts, am I correct to assume I need to Odin the NC2 kernal and I'll be fixed up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Check link in my sig for NC4 OTA steps, see if you missed one. Sounds like NC2 maybe.

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tateg:
I forgot to mention that it also says "safe recovery inactive" in safestrap. I'll check the steps in your sig.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

So, I can verify that I followed these instructions from your NC4 OTA post:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

IF YOU ARE ON NC4 (Official VZW OTA) Follow The Below Instructions

(courtesy of barrackobama)

WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR DEVICE IS COMPLETELY YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY*

Step- 1 - Root Device with*TowelRoot*courtesy of*geohot

Step- 2 - Install Busybox from play store and install busybox itself

Step- 3 - Install Safestrap*3.75*courtesy of Hashcode (NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY HASHCODE)

Step- 4 - Boot into Safestrap, Select Stock Slot*

Step- 5 - Wipe Data, Use Factory Reset Slider*

Step- 6 - Install the latest*Alliance ROM*courtesy of the Alliance Crew

Step- 7 - Reboot into Download mode From Safestrap (DON'T hit reboot, hit back arrow twice, hit REBOOT, choose DOWNLOAD)

Step- 8 - Unzip & Install In*ODIN*This*NC2 Kernel .tar*courtesy of Beanstown106

The problem is that after step three, I can't do step four. Safe recovery won't go active regardless of it telling me it was successfully installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] donelam304:
Mine says inactive also. But I just reboot my phone and it gives me the option to continue or boot in to recovery. Continue in on the lower right to continue to normal boot. And recovery is on the lower left side of the screen and it will boot you in to safestrap recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tateg:
I've got to be doing something wrong. I've tried touching, pressing, tapping and I've even tried button combinations. I just get the screen with the lock on it and no matter what I do it goes to the normal boot up sequence. I did get the phone to try to go into factory recovery but got the dead robot and the exclamation point. This is getting ridiculous.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] IN8skillz:
Put the phone into download mode, battery pull and then power up... Should force SS
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tateg:
Well that didn't help unless I was supposed to go into native download mode. Still no safestrap. I watcher a few install safestrap videos and I'm missing something most of them have. I don't get a slider underneath the lock to allow me to continue or to go into safestrap. I think I remember getting it the very first reboot after I did the install, but that was like last July. Anyway, I only see the padlock now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Try going to download from phone off, then cancel.

If that doesn't work, you'd likely spend less time starting from scratch than troubleshooting this unknown issue. (follow the same NC4 OTA thread as earlier)

Plus, a fresh start gives peace of mind that there isn't anything corrupt waiting to show its ugly head later...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] donelam304:
Hey az_biker. I have a question. I had to do the stock NC4 Odin flash and now I'm rooted and running the new biggins rom. What other roms is available and runs well on NC4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tateg:
I'm going to have to do a factory reset I guess. I've uninstalled Busybox and Safestrap multiple times with no success. I still only see the open padlock on boot with no other options. Doing the boot to download thingy didn't accomplish anything.

EDIT: Problem Solved. I used a different Busybox installer that JRummy's and that solved the issue. Thanks for all the advice. Now I can try some ROMs to hopefully tide me over so that I don't spend a bunch of money on a new Nexus 6.

Locked Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (monster tablet) that has locked bootloader -- thanks Verizon!!! (905v model.) I got it rooted using towelroot.

Wondering if there is a way that I could install Safestrap and then load roms and zips.

Or (and I suspect this is the answer) I would need a version of Safestrap that is specific to that tablet, which probably is not likely.

Just wondering.

I have been reading around, but just to make sure, if you're on the VZW Note 3 Retail, ROMs like CyanogenMod won't work at all?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Okay installed the latest version on a Note 3 VZW and on boot it says safestrap disabled? What's going on here?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Correct. Locked bootloader = stock based roms only. No cm, aosp, pac, du, etc...

That's normal. It will not say enabled until you install a rom in a slot and are booting into said slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] winlinand:
Just means your not using the other slots
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
No I wasn't using the other slots but installed Eclipse and it just say there and did not boot. Did restore so back to stock. So apparently only some ROM's work on the developer edition? Trying to read as much as I can since I just got this phone

Tried hltevzw_root_deodex_nc4 and same thing. So do any ROM's work with safestrap? This one was supposed to. Installs fine just will not boot and have to pull battery and restore back to a backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] winlinand:
If you are have the dev edition you should only flash roms that are built for the dev edition. There are a few and they should be labeled dev edition.

Just odin the nc2 kernel. Safestrap. Make a backup in ss of your current stock rooted setup.

Wipe dalvik data and system under advance wipe in ss and then flash your rom. Rinse and repeat for your next rom. You do not need to re-odin the kernel when switching roms. And always flash to the stock slot. Multi slot setups have been problematic since the kk update.
