[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION], there might be something wrong with the busybox you're using. If I run the scripts manually I get the same incomplete unzip (no bin) that the APK gets, but if I change BBX=busybox to BBX='/system/xbin/busybox' and run them manually then the unzip is complete (both bin and etc). The hijack still fails though.

Both busybox programs are the same version but they are different sizes.

Is there a post explaining how to go into recovery if the splash screen doesn't come up? Mine isn't and I'm not near a computer nor is search working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
There are only the two ways into SafeStrap Recovery: from the Android application and from the SafeStrap menu during boot.

You might also be able to coerce it through ADB, but you're not near a PC.

If you just installed 3.72 you might need to revert back.

I have been trying for the last day to get the splash screen to show. I have installed and re installed so many times but to no avail. I have tried different versions, tried downloading the files again but nothing had helped. Tonight I will odin back to stock mje and start over. Just worried that kingo will not work for rooting my phone.

Should you figure out how to fix this issue please take the time to enlighten us.

How would one use adb to get into recovery. That is the only thing I hadn't tried.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
Run the scripts that the SafeStrap application runs.

What exactly is happening eith you two? Please be clear -- "splash screen" doesn't mean much because several screens can be called "splash screen".

Are you unable to boot Android, or are you unable to run SafeStrap Recovery?

Frank
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] repsol_23:
For clarity I meant the splash screen for safe strap. Phone boots perfectly fine into jelly beans but no matter how much I re install I can't get into safe strap recovery. When I run safe strap app it shows that it's installed but it remains inactive.

On 3.72, when I swipe to do a full wipe the screen goes black, comes back, then goes black again. Is this normal? Trying to flash Baja KK, but the installation fails. Not sure if the issue is SS or the ROM download.

Can anyone confirm if backups work on 3.72?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dooku77:
Yes they do. I've done it twice so far

No that's not normal. I would install safestrap again and see if it still does it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Diceroll:
I think you just revealed the problem. If you are booting into Jelly Beans, 3.72 is not for you. Stay with 3.65. After you upgrade to 4.4, switch to 3.72

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

If you are on 4.4 and using 3.72, try tapping on the lower right where you normally would on the safestrap boot splash. I did that and it worked for me afterwards. Like the splash screen just wasnt showing up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cdmoore74:
If AOSP roms comes to our phones I will be throwing money at the screen. I would love to have a Nexus experience with the Note 3 hardware and Verizon reliability. Sadly I would miss the IR blaster more than the S-Pen. Not sure if that's a problem with the Dev edition because that side of the fence appears to be lacking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] repsol_23:
That's the problem. No matter what I do I can NOT install any version of safe strap. As for 3.72 not being for jb I already know this! I still have yet to odin my phone but I think that's my only way to get onto this leaked version.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] billinaz:
I havent installed safestrap, and Im on the 4.3 stock room (rooted).

I want to install the kitkat rom, should I install the JB safestrap then update after installing KK or just install the newest version (3.72) even though Im only on jellybean?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
Correct 3.65 for JB and 3.72 for KK only.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Something that I found... Go into ss app. Click Reboot Recovery (it does nothing). Exit. Restart phone. It will reboot and go into ss! Kinda quirky, but it works.

<Note3>
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
The last step of the process that occurs when you press that button is to run the 'reboot' program. Maybe that program is missing, it should be at '/system/bin/reboot' but could be elsewhere; if you have a terminal 'which reboot' should find it. Also, if you have a terminal, try running the command SafeStrap runs to see what happens:

reboot now

Frank

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

First 'su', then 'reboot now'. Whether it works or not might help Hashcode debug.

That command returns the directory you noted, but I was having reboot problems with xPosed as well, perhaps something else is awry?

safestrap on SM-N900 factory unlocked for GSM

I want to install safestrap on an SM-N900. It's a Galaxy Note 3 - 32GB - White (Verizon). It's LTE, but it's also factory unlocked for any GSM carrier. I won't have this phone in hand until Monday. Should I be concerned about installing safestrap on it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
This is only for the VZW-SM900V, the SM-900 is a different phone. Check this thread for more infio.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] liquidraven:
I followed the steps in order to get the KK recovery but cant get into it with my baja build. I have busybox, uninstalled old recovery and installed new while granting root but the phone just boots right to the ROM?

Did i do something wrong here?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Are you trying to boot into recovery from the safe strap app? It's not working on 3.72 as of yet. You have to restart your phone and go into safestrap recovery at boot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] liquidraven:
ok thanks but doing a normal restart doesn't work either as i don't even get the splash screen to select recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
From the OP.....[v3.72] Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again. (DEBUGGING THIS AS I GET TIME)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Okay try to Uninstall safe strap app. Then reinstall it and install recovery again. Should work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] liquidraven:
thanks, i tried uninstalling and clearing app data via app manager but still doesn't work. After re-installing and granting root it reports recovery as being installed but still just skips the splash while rebooting from the home screen or app...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
Just to clarify did you install the firmware from here yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] liquidraven:
damn, i did not do this no..guess i have to ODIN now?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
Yes, backup anything you want to save and follow the instructions in the firmware thread but install Baja KK 4.4.2 instead of Beans. This is his newest release. This is to get you on KitKat 4.4.2 if you want. Be warned that this build is not as customized as Baja11 but will be soon.

EDIT: I sent you the link to the new Baja in his thread.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
It could be that xPosed is running 'reboot' instead of '/system/bin/reboot' and this is causing some other 'reboot' to be run.

Frank
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] liquidraven:
Ok so im back on 4.3 and just rooted with vroot. I installed busybox and have the KK recovery apk on my SD card. Do i just install this and reboot to recovery and first flash the firmware and baja deodex KK?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
Install SS 3.65 while on 4.3 and flash the deodexed KK ROM, reboot into download mode and Odin the firmware from the AP slot. Reboot and you are all set up with the new KK ROM and you will be able to use SS 3.72 from there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] liquidraven:

Hey guys.. New to safe strap so I got a question.. Might be a dumb one

Don't really want to mod my stock rom slot if I can avoid that.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Rom slots 1 through 4 are not fully functional yet. Stick to the stock slot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] igotgame:
Oh ok.. I guess that hold true if I'm on 4.3 too right?

So I guess I'll mess with the stock slot and if something screws up...restore my backup.

It's safe to rename the folder names within the backup folder right?

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Oh my fault. If your using the stable version of safestrap on 4.3 then yes rom slots are fully functional.

I assumed you were on the new safestrap for kitkat 3.72.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] igotgame:
Is there a way to restore or copy my backup to one of the rom slots then to play around with it?

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yes. If you backed up your stock rom then you just need to activate a rom slot and restore your backup to that slot. Be sure to set up partitions the right way.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Yes, you can restore any 4.3 backup to other slots on the 3.65 stable version of SS for 4.3. But 4.4's SS version 3.72 isn't functioning outside the stock slot.

I have safestrap 3.72 & ★ ][N900VVRUCNC2][4.4.2] Stock Root DeOdex★ in my stock rom slot.... its running well.. anyway I just booted in to recovery and I activated & selected rom slot 1 and installed ★ N900VVRUCNC2 4.4.2 Stock Root DeOdex, (only) then reboot and it worked,,, I thought safestrap 3.72 didn't allow for working rom slots? I was taking a risk but I believe I have all I need to fix something in case of anything going wrong, contingency plan, I hope anyway :silly: .. sometimes just gotta try. :angel:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] derekdauzat:
im sure hashcode knows more to why we cant use rom slots,

I just wanted to try and I figured the leak was the best thing to try for compatability.. I had a previous 4.3 rom in rom slot 1.. I wiped it prior .. then installed the leak, and reboot, all was fine, I restarted, then I went back to my stock rom slot and everything was fine. I really want to thank hashcode for all his work with roms bootstrap & safestraps, and also beanstown. thanks, if I really should not play with the rom slots let me know, I hope for more love on the retail note 3 , and unlocked bootloader or work-around. I just wanted to try, and I know all the risks. :cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] armeN0317:
Looks like that fixed it. Removed recovery with 3.71 installed. uninstalled 3.71. rebooted and installed 3.72 then install recovery and fixed :good:

Noob question...in 3.65 is rom slot 1 stored in the internal sd card or the external sd card? I need to decide whether to get a bigger micro sd card. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
Rom slots are on the phone and backups on the external.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] recDNA:
So if I set slot 1 to 3 GB does that mean the operating system and apps combined have to use less than 3 gb?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Yep. In 4.3 SS 3.65/3.71 you can manipulate the sizes of the partitions in rom slots 1-4, if you don't like the default sizes. Or run a single rom in the stock slot and have access to ALL your memory :D

If you're talking KK 4.4 SS 3.72, rom slots aren't fully functional yet (some have gotten them to work, but Hash hasn't given the thumbs up yet)

Hope that answered your question.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Right now the best thing to do for kk is just make a nandroid of the install on the stock slot. U get the full storage capacity and it only takes a few mins to restore.

Rom slots in 3.72

I wanted to mention that I was having issues installing Biggins 1.0 ROM to a slot and was able to do so successfully by creating a slot with the following partition values: 3000/3000/600. Previously, I would receive an "E: unable to mount '/system'" error... this resolved that issue and the ROM boots in Slot 1 without issue.

Does anyone foresee any issues with this configuration?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jlegros:
2 questions...I flashed everything fine but noticed 2 things...I cannot seem to make a backup in 3.72. It failed for some reason. Also when I reboot, the safestrap splash screen says safestrap disabled...any ideas?

I am at least until 3.73 is updated to fully functional ROM slots. I'm really in no hurry to get kk. I have the tar so I can install it whenever I like. I froze SDM in titanium so I assume that will prevent ota push?

Quick question though.

I am curious if SS on the Note 3 will be able to install kernels or AOSP ROMs in the future. Is it known to be possible or not possible to have the ability on this device in the future?

Last I checked, there doesn't seem to be much progress with SS on the VZW S4 regarding AOSP/kernels.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
SS means there's a locked bootloader. Locked bootloader means you can't flash kernels. AOSP requires a custom kernal so that's out unless we get a bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:
Best way to do this:

1. Backup your ROM
