sorry for this as it may have been cover when i click on storage when it opens it say this below: miscellaneous 29.08 gb available space 1.25 was it like this before and i never noticed? i do know if i add a rom it will say i have ex:22gb left so i know it fine maybe im just looking for piece of mind Thank You
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
I went ahead and decided to see what will happen if I put Hyperdrive on the stock ROM slot. So far so good. The ROM sees the entire free storage of the entire ROM just like stock ROM.

Any down side in flashing custom ROM on the stock ROM slot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
No, not really any down side. But it is a bit of a risk until you're up and running. You can always restore a backup or Odin the stock ROM though so still pretty secure.

What happens to the safe strap installation and any existing rom slots, since flashing to stock should wipe it out?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
The safestrap app in Hyperdrive is obviously not there, so you have the option of reinstalling it... I didn't bother. When I reboot the phone, I still see safestrap and it says disabled cuz I have the "stock" slot enabled. I don't have other ROMs in any other slots. I just wanted Hyperdrive to be my stock ROM and I wanted full storage use. Putting the ROM in any other slot limited my storage quite a bit. So far, no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Sounds like someone who does this with existing rom slots will lose the memory being used by them. I take it your case had no existing slots?

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Let me ask you this, can you still enter recovery at the splash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
I had no existing used slots. The splash screen is still there even when I did a TWRP wipe on system, dalvik, data, and cache partitions. Then simply flashed Hyperdrive on the stock slot. I can still go in and out of safestrap in the safestrap splash screen.

My only remaining issue now (nothing to do with safestrap or Hyperdrive) is the damn WiFi connectivity disconnect problems.

I know Aroma isn't currently working with SS but is it something that can be made to work or is it just a limitation of SS? Not asking when just if it's even possible :P
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BobC43:
I am relatively new to Safestrap and have a few questions please.

I am currently running stock on the stock slot, and JellyBeans on slot 1

I want to try Hyper but unclear about wiping and reset.

1. If I create a new slot, slot 2, why would I need to wipe as this slot has not been used yet.

2. After creating and activating slot 2, if I then do a data wipe and system reset prior to loading a new ROM, Hyper, what effect will that have on my stock slot as well as slot 1. I originally understood it would only effect slot 2 in this case, but beginning to think differently.

3. If I do a data reset and system reset, can I get back to where I currently am at if I decide to delete slot 2. I could reload my backups to stock and slot 1

Thanks in advance

You wiped the stock slot then installed hyperdrive? in other words, u did a clean install of hyperdrive on the stock slot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
Yes. The behavior is just like using TWRP on any other phone... wiping the old ROM first, then installing a custom ROM.

I also just confirmed that my Knox still showed 0x0 in download mode. :thumbup:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] focus242:
Gotcha, I just hadn't heard anyone else wiping the stock rom slot and installing a custom rom cleanly. Everyone else has just over written the stock rom slot instead of wiping.

I am using my own rom on the stock slot with no problems so far..... I haven't used a rom slot yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] crowax:
Sorry if this has been asked, but I looked through the thread and did not see anything. Does safestrap support flashing a complete new OS version and kernel? This would relate to when a 4.4 comes out from Samsung. When it is released, will we be able to flash it onto one of the safe slots, or will someone have to modify the ROM to work with the current 4.3 base?

I have come from old phones which did not have safestrap at the time, so I am used to flashing the half 4.0 half 4.1 roms, etc on locked Motorola phones. Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] idle0095:
How Do I know if I have this?

THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.

Sorry for what is going to come off as a newb question. This is my first phone that is more of an in depth deal.

If i install SS do I still have to install TWRP too? I dont wanna do one and need the other or even worse do them both and screw something up!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chefb:
What's on the horizon for safestrap.....

anyone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mjh68:
If you have the retail version you need to use SS. Dev edition uses TWRP, but they lack the stock image to odin if something goes wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] SS4Luck:
Okay cool Im on the retail version so i guess here goes nothing...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mjh68:
Just remember you have to be rooted to use SS. Otherwise, SS is awesome and easy to install :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
Doing some more testing on my end...I'm also able to do a ##786# reset while on Hyperdrive ROM which I flashed on top of the stock ROM slot in Safestrap recovery. It performed the factory reset...and ROM booted up cleanly and data was wiped as expected. The Safestrap splash screen still shows up during reboots...and I can still go in and out of Safestrap.

I can afford to do all these destructive testing cuz my Note 3's WiFi keeps dropping off and I'm shipping it to Samsung for repair. :rolleyes:

Next test...ODIN a completely stock ROM (MI9) to see if everything comes back stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] extirpate:
If you wipe system on stock slot you wipe your ENTIRE system and if you don't flash a new rom on that slot before a reboot, nothing will reboot. ;) You'll be left to flash with Odin or flash in Stock ASR... which I've never tried. Not even sure if it'd work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
Final test passed with flying colors. I flashed my phone back to stock unrooted MI9 using the ROM found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2481623. After rebooting, Safestrap splash screen is gone. After another reboot, the custom lock icon is gone and my Device Status says "Official" in the About phone->Status screen. Going to ODIN mode, my phone also shows "Samsung Official" in Current Binary and "Official" in System Status. Knox shows "0x0".

The phone is ready for shipment to Samsung for warranty repair to fix WiFi issues. :D

Does SS work on the internal or sd card....do I need a sdcard?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Hey chefb I'm currently using safe strap with no sd card. When you use only internal storage and your in the safe strap recovery if you tap the top where it says storage you can select internal for when you are wanting to locate a zip to flash or a backup. It's working great for me.

battery drain after update

after updating to mj7 my battery now drains way quicker than m19. Of one full charge over night my battery dropped from 100% to 79% in standby all night this is ridiculous. atleast in m19 after a fullnight charge my battery wouldonly drop to 99% from 100% so is there any way to go back to m19 please?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
You cannot move backward in build numbers with a locked bootloader so, no, you can't move back to MI9. I would recommend giving the transition a few days before judging battery and maybe install something like GSam Battery Monitor or Better Battery Stats (free version on XDA here) and seeing what is waking your device. Something is waking it and using a lot of juice to make it drop that much overnight with no interaction on your part.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
My first night after first full charge was about a 10% batt drop with WIFI on... Last night, about a week since purchase and a dozen full charges,, I only lost 4% over night... My N3 was already on MJ7 when upgraded, so I can't speak to any difference between Mi9 & MJ7, only my MJ7 results.

Have you checked for wakelocks, or frequently updating apps (FaceBook, weather, news, etc)?

Backup & Restore Help

This is new to me so can I ask....

I have rom installed in slot 1 and removed the OEM rom to install HD Rom...so just one rom. I do not plan on using other slots...

If I make a backup of the current HD rom in slot one

But I want to play with other roms in same slot (like in TW recovery wipe, then install new rom) not concerned about using more slotted space

Do I just remove the partition in slot one and create a new partition to play with a new rom?

So when I want to go back to the HD rom that I backup...is it just removing the partition and recreating a new one...then restore the backup?

Again, just staying in slot one and guess I am trying to use it like TW\CMW but where I am confused are the partitions and how I should add/remove

If you follow me, can you help the new kid out to get this right in my head of backing up rom and restoring in same slot?

Thx
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
Here's how I would do it. When I find a ROM I really like... For Example Hyperdrive, I would wipe my stock ROM slot and put Hyperdrive there. If I get curious about other ROMs, I would put it in ROM slot 1 . If I don't like it, i'll just delete slot 1. If I like it, I'll wipe my stock ROM slot where Hyperdrive is, and install that new ROM there, then delete slot 1.

This way, my favorite rom in the stock ROM slot doesn't get touched and it has full storage access of the phone while I'm testing other ROMs. It only gets wiped when I want to overwrite it with a new ROM that I prefer more to use.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gunthermic:
Crazy question.

Can we wipe data/cache on stock rom slot? Every time I do it I get stuck at Verizon logo? I know factory reset you would have to re flash rom...

just clearing data/cache is same as factory reset. Shouldn't be a need to reflash.. now if you wiped system.. ODIN to the rescue. Lol

I suppose I was being irrationally afraid of booting on the stock slot, but the memory limitations are too much for digital hoarders like myself. There's nothing stopping me from returning to my very first SS recovery if I understand this correctly.

Hyperdrive to the stock slot ho!

Update: weird but Hyperdrive would never boot completely from the stock slot. I don't understand why, I've been running it consistently in the virtual slots. I switched to Beans and no issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] parcou:
Sweet...I hit the Thx.

This helps alot since I have nothing in rom slot-1 and hyperdrive is my stock. Sweet thx again...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] extirpate:
Data/cache wipes don't wipe the system. There's no reason I can conjure up that would explain why you can't boot after a data/cache wipe. If you did a nan droid backup in safestrap, then usually you'll be restoring system and data unless you selected otherwise prior to your backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
So I finally got this bad boy rooted, installed SS, and flashed Beans build 2... This is how I set things up, can anyone tell me if I made any errors or if there is a better way (space saving, more stable, etc)? Thanks in advance!

Kingo

SS

installed superSU

flashed Beans 2 to slot 1

backed up OEM rom in stock slot

created, activated and restored OEM back up to slot 2

backed up Beans 2

restored Beans 2 back up in stock slot

restored OEM backup in slot 1

deleted slots 2,3,4

in settings device says "Official"

knox is 0x0

SS shows disabled during boot

20gb remaining internal

20gb remaining sd

is the device reading OFFICIAL and SS showing disabled due to having beans 2 booting in the stock slot?

Im sure this is easily answered.....Im just used to booting into CWRM and pointing at my backup ROM and setting it in motion. Cant quite work my head around how these ROM slots would work if I was merely wanting to restore my phone with a backup ROM.

Put your back up on ex sd card also use compression. When your going to restore make sure your rom slot is the same size as you first made it. When ready select external sd card in restore once there select and let it do it job good luck hope this helped. Try a test run.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] plisskenn:
I had a very weird situation, I just figured I'd tell everyone what it took to fix it.

I was rebooting but not seeing the safestrap screen. I was running on a different rom slot than stock. I booted into the system tried uninstalling/reinstalling the recovery and trying reboots. I was on an older version of safestrap.. I believe 3.63. I downloaded 3.65 and installed it. Rebooted and I saw the safestrap screen!

Probably a fluke, but who knows.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jayhammy:
I'm stumped and I hope someone can help with this: I've successfully rooted and installed Safestrap. I managed to install Hyperdrive ROM and did quite well until I began reinstalling my apps via TB. I keep getting "no more space" errors. I used the MAXimum settings when I set up my ROM Slot 1 (4000 for the data partition). I've still got another 35+ apps that I want to reinstall. Is there a setting I'm missing or are the slots really that small as to restrict me from fully loading up the ROM with apps that I had on my original stock ROM. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anthony92170:
Slot 1-4 can only go as big as 4 gb. Make a back up of stock slot the wipe it clean and install your rom of choice in Stock spot you will then be able to use all you want. Make sure you delete and slots u have used first.

You need to delete the slot itself.

A request to help me, maybe others and might add a little more polish to Safe Strap.

Append the slot nickname to slot number wherever it's displayed as slot only and display same on the boot splash.

This will remind me what's in the slot throughout ss-twrp as well at boot time.
