Not as of yet. I have heard some have been successful if the slot was created prior to 3.72 update to SS but KK version does not support ROM slots yet. Fails because cannot mount system. This is a known issue and is being worked on.

Backup fails

I am on Baja build 11, wanting to update to 14. I have never had an issue making a backup, even on this set-up. Now, I just get that it failed. It creates a file of 3.5 gig in the TWRP folder. I have searched extensively and can't see any solution. Like I said, on SS 3.72 I made a backup about two weeks ago. This is all on stock rom slot only. I have tried both internal and two different micro sd's. Any ideas of what may have happened?

Thanks,

Eric

So what's the verdict here? I'm trying to determine whether backup and restore of the ROM in the Stock Slot work properly using the v3.72 2014-04-22 KK BETA. I don't see any conclusive answers to this in the thread.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes works great in the STOCK slot. I have backed up and restored several roms. No problem.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
I'll second this, I've backed up, restored and installed 3 different ROM's all in the stock slot, no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
I also haven't had issues with backup/restore functions, but some others have. It's strange. But if you change the backup location from external to internal storage, it might work for you...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
Also I know the main point of safestrap (originally) was to not touch the stock slot/ROM for safety sake, but I'll be honest, I like my phone recognizing all the internal storage space.

My Dish app will only let me download recorded shows to internal storage, and when I was using ROM slots before, it said I only had like 900mb free, so I couldn't transfer shows to my phone.

just one of the small perks. Plus if you make frequent backups it's no big deal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
I also prefer installing to stock slot.

U can try folder mount to download to the extsd. Or I've been using a swap script to change sdcard0 with extsd giving me 128gb of I internal storage. :D

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
I didn't know that was possible. Very interesting.:good:

I usually just move anything I can to my 128GB card, I have over 20GB free on my internal memory, so I'm good. I love the 32GB internal plus 128GB external, it's the perfect combo.

I just saw it in the store. We will be going by in a couple days. I've been a bit concerned whether it has to be powered by the USB which might be to much for a phone. The concept is most interesting however, I'll post when I learn more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
The OTG SD card adapter is great and it can probably do what Lillie is doing with the internal removable SD. I got the Gigastone 4-in-1 Mobile Kit which comes with

- the OTG adapter

- micro SDHC USB-port adapter (plug the little card into a USB port)

- micro SD SD-port adapter (the big card that holds a little card)

- micro SDHC class 10

I got the 16GB kit because I have cards and only needed the OTG adapter, so the kit price was $16 USD.

This mounts the card at '/storage/UsbDriveA'. Power consumption is probably only slightly more then the internal removable SD.

The adapter sticks out at the bottom of the device so it isn't good for walk-around use, but I use it with the SD adapter just to easily back up the internal and external SD cards (/storage/{emulated/0,extSdCard}.

I have also used the OTG adapter with an old Western Digital 6GB USB hard drive and it worked just as well as the SD card, so if you want the kit for backing up the internal/external SDs and for trading large ROMs then plug in your tera-byte sized USB hard drive.

The OTG adapter can be used for many other things too. Some people plug in an Ethernet cable for faster and more reliable data transfers. I suspect that you can probably plug in some kind of hub to mount cards on the other '/storage/UsbDrive[A-F]' mount points.

I am BONED

Recently moved over to KK 4.4.2. Following Beanstown method to flashing root with rom. I have flashed over to 3 other roms, I was just coming off of "Got Biggens" Rom and was going to flash over to Eclipse (just checking things out bad as a woman!). Did everything i do normally, except i kept getting "E: unable to mount /system" (/systemorig) when wiping dalvik cache and all that. phone will not get me past safe strap screen without having to pull battery. I tried doing what i did to get to KK 4.4.2 by flashing firmware with odin and flashing the rom provided, and no change.

1. How boned am i?

2. After now rereading the eclipse rom post it said must be on MJE baseband is this what Effed me up?

3. Help? lol

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ncdub:
It sounds like you're trying to flash in a ROM slot and not on the stock slot. Did you try to manually mount system in SS? That is an option under advanced I think. But truly that sounds like a ROM slot issue and not a bricked phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tony_hyder:
I was definitely in the stock rom slot. Double check Eclipse ROM 4.4.2 it says aways down that must be on MJE...instead of NC2 which is what i was on.....never the less im back up and rooted just gotta get my stuff together..

Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jetguat:
Whats the easiest method after putting on the deodexed stock rom with KK. to make a full back that can be restore should things go wrong with a HyperDrive8 ROM install?

I only installed odin today. I know Safestrap has an option to backup. and it save the files somewhere on the phone, but how do you get the backups to a safe place to flash again via odin? how do you use such a backup to restore a device? got a pointer to an "backup and restore for idiots" type of link?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
First, you DO NOT flash backups via Odin. Backups are flashed from within Safestrap Recovery

MAKING A BACKUP

Reboot device, from SAFESTRAP screen choose RECOVERY (NOT FROM POWER MENU)

Choose BACKUP

At top under time and batt%, change name of backup if desired (ex: 6-13 XYZ ROM)

Swipe the SWIPE TO BACK UP slider

Reboot Device

GO to MY FILES or any FIle Manager app

Find TWRP folder (should be on Ext Sdcard)

Open BACKUPS folder

Open sub folder (mine is 680ebec6)

copy & paste your desired backup to PC, flash drive, etc for safe keeping.

RESTORING A BACKUP

Reboot device, from SAFESTRAP screen choose RECOVERY (NOT FROM POWER MENU)

Choose RESTORE

Select Backup to restore

Swipe the SWIPE TO RESTORE slider

Reboot Device to System

You can also search Google for tutorials, videos, and basic instructions for everyday Android functions like these.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
I always restore after a backup, that way I can trust it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
I've considered doing that, but if a backup is corrupted while it is being made then I would be restoring a corrupt backup into a good file system, so I restore only when the existing file system is as bad or worse then the backup could be.

Frank
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] matholland:
Is there any idea when there might be an update to have working rom slots? I downgraded back down to MJE to have a fully functional safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mattchenzo:
If you wanted to be super-paranoid, a better practise might be to make two backups, if they are essential, maybe even one on the external sdcard and one internal memory... That would give me more peace of mind personally, since as long as power wasn't interrupted while making the backup, the chances that you generate a corrupt file are much much lower than the already low random chance that your backup gets corrupted. By generating two in separate locations, statistically, you would no longer have anything to worry about, I'd say!

Why stop there? Save one to dropbox, save one to google drive, save one to skydrive, and save one locally on your computer!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
Backups do become corrupt, but also the backup program may fail to correctly make the backup or the restore, as with what just recently happened with TWRP 2.7.0.0.

For some people a backup is just so they don't have to reconfigure everything after flashing firmware, but for others the backup is so they don't loose valuable information. When I ran a network I kept the most recent backup in another building - in case of fire - and the six previous daily backups in my office. I did that because I read horror stories of businesses losing years of work because a fire destroyed the server and their backup.

If you keep valuable information on your device then I recommend keeping a backup on the device and another on your PC, or on an SD card that isn't kept in the device. That's one good use of the UsbDrive - the second copy. And since the UsbDrive is so convenient it would be good to keep a reasonable number of previous backups.

Frank
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mattchenzo:
While we were joking a bit, this is very good advice, not just for our phones, but everything computer related: If it's only backed up in one place, it's not backed up!

NC4 Official Issue

So after much testing over the last three days it appears as if 3.72 is causing some issues with official NC4 Verizon firmware. It installs fine and runs fine. When making a back up it goes to sleep completely and unable to wake. Forcing a battery pull. When flashing a ROM. All seems to go well until you reboot. Splash screen comes up but after hitting continue phone never boots. This is on my Note 3. Anyone else seeing these issues?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tliebeck:
Anyone able to successfully create ROM Slots and/or install on NC2 with SS 3.72?

Stock slot works just fine, but when I create a ROM slot it winds up with a 0-byte /system partition (data and cache are created fine). Attempting to flash (Eclipse 2.0) to that of course fails.

Device has plenty of space on the internal storage (16GiB, attempting to use about 5GiB).

I'm fairly new to using SS on this device.

Thanks for any suggestions, and I realize that ROM slots are technically unsupported, but thought some people were using them. I'd rather not overwrite the stock slot as I need it for testing apps with a stock Samsung setup.

Don't expect to flash Roms on nc4 yet.

Other installs should be fine

And I can confirm back up and restore work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
Back ups work if you have the time out set to off in advanced settings. Otherwise if screen goes to sleep for too long then will kill process and make a battery pull needed. Sure the ability or lack there of with installing ROMs has to do with the new security settings.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Have you tried using a different slot to see if they work properly?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] denpth:
The reason it works now is due to the fact nc2 stock recovery was broken. NC4 works well so there was nothing that safe strap could hook on to to load. This was discovered a little while ago. Alternatively if you are not on beans new build you can just flash the NC4 recovery to fix the issue as well.

Isn't there issues with not being able to downgrade the software/firmware(with Odin) if you're on the NC4 bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] denpth:
Afaik the bootloader for nc4 is not downgradable. However the nc2 kernel can be flashed on it so it allows all of the benefits of nc2. (Kexec, selinux permissive, kernel modules) but what I am referring to here is the recovery not the bootloader. The recovery should be nc4 because nc2 does not work.

Edit: basically if you are on nc4 system with nc2 kernel everything will work fine just like the nc2 leak.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hsbadr:
It works for me from the first moment :) I didn't even notice it isn't working for others :D maybe cuz I upgraded directly from MJE to NC4 ROM/Modem/Recovery + NC2 Kernel/Bootloader. The issues I've with SS are related to ROM slots (stock slot works fine) & charging while phone is off (SS splash screen appears, but unplug/replug charger fixes it).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] denpth:
Well both the nc2 kernel and ss are incomplete. Nc2 was never supposed to be released. This is why it was so open. They were still working on it. Somehow we got it. So we get to profit from it. Hash is always busy. He develops for alot of devices so give him time to iron out the ss issues.
