Completely understandable. My vote would be to see the slot # and nickname that is about to be booted. Also the nickname would be useful inside ss twrp, wherever slot # is displayed. It seems only displayed inside rom slot configuration.

The S3 is stuck in limbo thanks to big red's latest OTA. Safestrap for the vzw S3 would be righteous. Thanks for all you hashcode.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] SOTK:
Is Safestrap kinda like Boot Manager Pro? Same concept? I used to run Boot Manager Pro on my Galaxy Nexus in order to have multiple Roms to try. Sounds like the same thing...so basically, the Rom runs off your SD card bypassing the "system" right?

I haven't run this yet. Just trying to understand it before I explore. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:
It's very similar in the end result.

However, the execution is quite different. My goal with SS was to put something on the device which acted as close to a stock recovery as possible (and hopefully as safe to re-enter).

Where Boot Manager could only be used from inside the Android OS.

Hello --

Question, please on restoring Nandroid backups.

I know to check data, system and cache so that when I restore a backup I get my apps and data back.

However, seems like I don't get stored passwords or logins back. I always need to go in and restore passwords on my e-mail accounts, my groupme, my facebook, etc....... Not a huge issue, but wondering if there is an easier way.

Is there some simple fix for this -- some type of setting that would restore everything, including logins?

Thanks - and thanks to you Mr. Hashcode for an amazing system.

can i use version 3.70 for my verizon note 3? Or do i need to use 3.65
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
You can use 3.70. It's in beta, 3.65 is stable.

I've experienced security settings forceclose in some roms on 3.70.

Went back to 3.65 until hashcode releases a stable update.

Other than the forceclose in security settings 3.70 is great.

I've been on 3.70 since day after it was available. I haven't noticed any issues at all. It is a beta build, but good devs usual put out good betas :D

First step - stop quoting the entire OP. Please edit your post and remove that, it's irrelevant to what you're posting and you did it twice on the same page.

The first part of your question was answered by two different people. I'm assuming you meant "BETA" not "BEAT" - a "beta" release is one that is potentially buggy, it's not a solid stable release, though could be very close. Hash released a new version after quite a while on version 3.65 and introduced new features, thus the "Beta" tag on this release.

I'd highly recommend flashing 3.65 for a user like yourself so you don't run into any problems :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yeah I was just stating my experience. It's hit or miss on certain roms.

Hashcode does amazing work on anything he releases.

But it's a beta so that's why I mentioned that.

I've had a couple other people confirm this that going back to 3.65 got rid of the security setting forceclose.

Hope you guys can help me out on this issue. Can you partition larger data (above 4,000mb) through safe strap in one slot? My problem is that I used slot-1 with default storage (2600,2600,300) and I installed plethora amount of apps and my phone said I was at max capacity... Even when I have more internal memory to work with. Is this a problem through safe strap or the rom that i'm using? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
Safestrap. Your Data partition is maxed out. Only thing to really do is stop installing apps or backup your Stock slot and the slot that you are maxed out on and then wipe your stock slot and Restore your maxed out ROM to the stock slot. That will give you all the storage you have to use.

EDIT: You would have to delete the extra slot you created as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Deekayy:
Thanks for the answer! Makes sense and found the thread on how to flash rom over stock.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Prevailing belief is that an unlocked boot loader isn't happening for Note 3... I say give the talented devs in this community some time. Even without an unlocked boot loader, I'm very happy with these early roms, and Safestrap gives thd incredible option to boot into multiple roms easily. It will only get better with or w/out unlock boot loader!

Thank you Hashcode for all you do!

New BETA v3.71 Safestrap build available.

The only change is EXFAT SDcard support (64gb). I believe this may have been working in v3.65 was broken in v3.70 BETA.

IMPORTANT:

IF YOU ARE UPGRADING TO v3.7x from v3.65 MAKE SURE TO USE THE "UNINSTALL RECOVERY" BUTTON IN THE v3.65 APK BEFORE INSTALLING v3.7x.

HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?

Push the APK up to your sdcard.

Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.

Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button

THEN, open a "file explorer" of some sort (even TW "My Files" will work)

Browse to where you pushed the APK

Click on it and install like normal

Once installed, open the APK

Grant SU access

Use the "Install Recovery" button

All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using

[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] I was on build 3.70 and experienced security forceclose in certain roms. The rom I was on when I updated SS to 3.70 was okay. But as soon as I changed roms it started.

Just bringing this up because I'm not sure if you were aware.

I've been back on 3.65 with no issues.

Will this be addressed in the next stable release?

Thanks for all you do for the community and Happy Holidays.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Frank Westlake:
No problems:

- SafeStrap.apk install

- SafeStrap.apk -> reboot to SS-Recovery

- SS-Recovery -> reboot system

- Power off -> SS-Recovery

- SS-Recovery -> power off

- Power off -> system up

On the MI9.

I can make a 16gb exfat micro-SD tomorrow if you want confirmation on that.

I was able to get 3.71 beta to download, but Goo.im has a warning message stating that they are in the process of "syncing" all data between servers and for all of its users to be patient and bare with them for the time being, that it's only temporary.

Can the stock rom slot be deleted after I back it up to SD card to clear up some space? If so how
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
If you want to clear up space, backup and delete rom from slots 1-4... when running only one rom, you need to run it from stock slot IIRC.

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dmrasm:
I was wondering a similar thing. If I have a backup of the stock rom saved to my ext sd can I go ahead and load a different rom in the stock rom slot and delete the other four slots to free up space? Will this even be beneficial since it will still have the same partitions when it was set up in the safe slots? What is the best way, if any, to get around the partition limitations on a non stock rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Yes, back up stock slot (not req) and wipe cache, data, system, dalvik and flash custom rom to stock slot, backup then delete roms in slots 1-4. This gives you access to all your internal storage and allows your storage readings to be accurate.

When booting from stock slot, safestrap will show 'disabled' in red, this is normal.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dmrasm:
Awesome. Thanks, I thought it would work just didn't know if the partition limits would still be there. Good to know that it's not.

If you go to menu - settings - security - "encrypt device" you'll most likely see a set up instruction screen. If you see something other than those instructions, your device is encrypted.

I recently did a stupid thing and recovered from it through Download because I wasn't able to get past stock-Recovery and into SS-Recovery. Stock-Recovery would not accept any signature I applied to an update archive I created for the repair so I had to re-flash my MI9 de la Vega ROM through Download. Is there some other way to enter SafeStrap's TWRP besides the normal boot-up menu? Or is there some way to get an unsigned update through stock-Recovery?

If I follow these directions, will I need to reload the stock rom backup to perform SS upgrades or will I be able to just install the apk to my custom rom and upgrade from there? Using Beanstown's btw.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
You won't lose SS flashing rom to stock slot. When upgrading SS or superSU you'll need to be booted to the stock slot, but it won't matter whether it's a custom rom or stock rom in that slot...

quick ? about not active

this is truly amazing work. this news really made my day :) i have a quick question. just to make sure i have followed instructions correctly...i have the MI9, original factory on the phone that i rooted with the delavega software. SU is on there, busybox, etc...the phone is successfully rooted. i installed safestrap according to instructions. it boots to the splashscreen but it says "Inactive". i can enter the SS recovery, check out all the settings, do the backup, then reboot and "continue" into the operating system. once the phone is booted, i enter the safestrap software and the State is "Installed" but the Safe System says "not active". did i somehow screw something up or is this how everything should be? thanks for your patience with my question in case the issue has been dealt with before.

Great work Hash. Been following on Rootzwiki. Glad to see it over here at XDA.

To those asking about the "Active" state, you'll only see that if you boot to a rom slot. If you're on the stock rom slot, it wont be active. You wont be "safe" to tinker. If it's active you're in "safe" mode. Get it?

So, I rooted via De La Vega the day gears released and am still on MI9. I've also installed the beta version of SS the same day Hash released it. I haven't done anything about updating to the latest OTA, so I obviously still have root.

I understand I need to install the latest stable release of SS, but do I have to upgrade to the MJ7 then root again before doing so?

Like all of us I just want to be prepared to flash a ROM as soon as that is available. And I want to make sure my phone is in the proper setup before doing so. Ive never used SS, hence the questions. Thanks in advance, friends.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:
No need to update to MJ7 yet. Let's see how the stock MJ7-based ROMs work on the MI9 kernel. And if needed we can embed the modem firmwares into the ROM instead of using them from the modem partition.

If I don't load any ROM's into slots 2,3 or 4, are those slots taking up any of my internal storage space?

Sorry I'm new to safesteap, I've been on a Nexus for 2 years.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Only if you actually create those slots would they be taking up any space. Until you do that the storage isn't partitioned and all is available for the stock slot. But once it's created the space is partitioned, whether you flash a ROM to it or not. I usually create the rom slot right before flashing because otherwise it's space sitting idle.

Came from a Nexus 4 myself, it was a great phone but I'm not looking back after this bad boy :good:
