So if I go back to my stock rom slot... Which is just 4.3 stock rooted... I can go into safestrap app and uninstall recovery and basically be back to just my 4.3 stock rooted?

I'm just using rom slot 1 now and playing around with xposed/wanam on my backup of my stock slot.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] matholland:
Not sure how some of you guys are able to create a ROM slot. I can create one, but it fails to mount /system so therefore you cannot install anything. Before I read all of this, I updated my phone and everything, then realized that I couldn't flash to any ROM slots by reading through this. I hate to flash in the stock rom slot just to know that more than likely within a few days, ROM slots will be working...I didn't create a backup of my ROM before I did the upgrade because I knew it wouldn't work. Now I kind of wish I would have just so I could go back to MK2 and not have to reinstall everything and set all of my settings back. :(

Alright guys I have successfully completed a backup on 4.4.2 safestrap 3.72.

So now I got my girlfriends phone rooted and on 4.4.2 with 3.72 ss. Trying to backup stock deodexed beans rom and backups keeps failing.

Anyone else have this yet.

I've set her phone up the same way I did mine
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jlegros:
I had that problem earlier. Changed the location to internal storage and it worked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Yeah I have it on internal.

It's at 65% battery and on the charger so I wonder if Hashcode put something in there where it needs to be charged more for the backup to work.

Hmmm
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jlegros:
Might have to format your sd. Guess some people are having issues with pics saving to their sd and formatting fixed it. Can't remember where I saw it though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Don't have a SD card in. Going off internal

As soon as it starts backing up data it fails.

@Hashcode I am trying to backup the 4.4.2 stock deodexed rom using 3.72 ss.

It fails when it gets to data backup.

I have tried to Uninstall recovery and tried a fresh download and it still failed at data.

I have successfully set up my Note with 3.72 and have been using ss since we got it for our N3.

Can't figure out why it's not backing up successfully on my girlfriends phone though.

Wonder if I should try to install busy box from the playstore?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Sounds like its running into a block of data that it simply does not like. I hate to say it and I know it sounds like a huge hassle but I myself would factory reset it in recovery then try a backup, see if it then follows through with the action. The data portion of your backup will be very close to empty but it should still try to backup what it believes to be data. Only other alternative wipe and reflash Rom both results in the loss of data regardless. Busybox comes preinstalled on the Rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to wait for the safestrap update and give it another try at that time.

Unless I can figure out what's going on. I'd hate to have to factory reset.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Just don`t use the Rom`s interface to reset only use recovery, although I did today no harm done but I also have the DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
She had a 32g sd card in when her phone was stock.

But I took it out when I rooted it and flashed 4.4.2 in ss and Odined the firmware. All went perfect.

But I never put the sd card back in. I also didn't wipe internal just the stock slot when I flash the 4.4.2 rom.

I'm wondering if something is causing this because I haven't put the sd card back in?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
It is possible if the card is clean insert it and try a backup to external sd couldnt hurt. I backup what I want to pc then factory reset frequently. Wiping gives all a fresh start and sometimes resolves issues but I would wait on internal and attempt backup with card first.

Edit: Just remember its is only the data portion of your backup that ss is having an issue with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Doubtful but forgive me if belaboring the obvious did you check the recovery log, system and data backups are file by file?

On 4.3 rooted stock with safestrap recovery installed and safe system not active (never installed a custom rom, just rooted stock).

My usb doesn't work anymore and need to send my phone back in for service. It's gonna be rough but I know I can back stuff up to my 16GB microsd so I'm not terribly worried there. I mainly use TiBu as I have no idea what version of an OS this replacement will have nor do I care about having to set up custom things again (mainly SMS, certain game saves, call logs, and list of apps I had installed). So I think I can deal with that sort of stuff.

I have also successfully used wireless ADB in case that's needed.

What I'm wondering is how I can set this back up to factory without Odin. Can I just uninstall recovery through the safestrap app and reboot into the default stock recovery and do a factory reset and be done with it? Does that leave crap tripped?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] repsol_23:
My impression is that the only way to return to stock is thru Odin. Hopefully someone else will have more input.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
If you were on a custom rom and had no backup of the stock rom you'd be up a creek. But since you're on stock rooted you can get it back to a completely "warranty-friendly" state without use of the usb port (hopefully that's one of the things they'll be fixin' up for you!)

1) Do like you said with safestrap - open the app and uninstall the recovery.

2) Open SuperSU and tap Settings>Full unroot. After rebooting you should have nothing but stock recovery and no root access. At this point you can do a factory reset within the android settings menu or the stock recovery, whichever.

This should leave the phone with no trace of having been rooted, etc. As long as you didn't follow instructions or use files meant for the international device, or some other carrier device, you shouldn't have knox tripped either as no root method or any other development in the Verizon forums trips knox.

I own Mobile Odin Pro and it is an awesome app, I used it all the time on my Galaxy SII; would have been able to accomplish returning to stock without USB but, as I state above, he doesn't need Odin. Unfortunately, with the proliferation of locked bootloaders, it's become more and more obsolete - at least for peeps like us on Verizon.

Is it OK to install safestrap in a slot 1 rom so I may boot directly into recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
All your sys files need to be flashed in the stock slot. If you're on SS 3.71 or lower you can flash roms in slots 1-4 but not superSu or SS. If you're on SS 3.72 it's not advised to use slots 1-4 yet

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
As [MENTION=4670411]az_biker[/MENTION] says all "system files" need to be flashed to the stock slot of SafeStrap. That means that, no, you cannot install SafeStrap to your slot 1 rom on 3.65. SafeStrap needs system level access to the file system which slots 1-4 can't provide as they are partitions underneath the true "system level" on the stock slot.

I see what you're hoping for - to be able to have no SafeStrap splash screen as you boot up the stock slot but it doesn't work like that - if you want a custom recovery you'll have to install it in the stock slot rom so it can function properly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] igotgame:
If I have used rom slot 1, do I need to wipe that slot before going back to stock slot, uninstalling safestrap recovery, etc, etc.? Or does that space automatically get cleared when I uninstall safestrap recovery?

Easiest to activate stock slot (or make sure its active) and then when you select a rom slot the Delete button should be there.

Black screen in 3.65 when booting to ROM slot

Hello,

I rooted my stock MJE ROM and installed Safestrap 3.65. I rebooted into recovery and installed NC2 KitKat on ROM Slot 1. Rebooted, and after selecting Continue on the Safestrap menu, I get a black screen. After a few moments, the notification LED turns on and pulses blue, but the screen stays black.

I tried a factory wipe and reinstall, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks everyone!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Dijitalus:
NC2 needs to be installed to the stock slot. I'd suggest watching some the videos in the 3rd post for more details.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PhreighnQ:
What you did wrong was to not follow the instructions. You can't flash the kk build in a rom slot. It has to go in the stock slot and you have to update the firmware.

Oh, to clarify-- the black screen only happens in ROM Slot 1. I can still boot from the stock ROM slot, no problem. I just can't seem to get a ROM to boot from the additional slots.

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

ohhhhh Okay. I would have preferred to have a 'stock' ROM in the stock slot, but I guess I'll install MJE on slot 1, then once I have that working install KitKat on the stock slot. Is that what everyone is doing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] repsol_23:
You need to keep in mind that safe strap 3.72 doesn't support rom slots right now. This has been mentioned several times throughout this thread. Hence the reason to either read thru the posts or watch the video.

All of a sudden I can no longer make backups. It just goes to a black screen after hitting the backup button then goes back to the boot options screen. It leaves a backup file on my ext sd card that is empty.

Anyone else?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I am having trouble making a backup of 4.4.2 deodexed rom with 3.72 on internal stotage. Over 16 gigs of free space. My girlfriend just got the phone and I took the exact same procedure I used with my N3. But it fails at backing up data. Which is different than your situation. Can't figure out what's going on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dougdirt:
Dang, didn't realize you could choose where the backups go. Just tried to backup to internal with over 21 gigs free and it doesn't work either.

Thanks Harley. Luckily I do have one backup saved of the original Beans 4.4 rom but would love to know what's goin on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Wilsonb:
Thanks for all your hard work and time on this..

I had major problem with 3.72

When creating a new slot (stating with Slot 1) , I would try and change the data partition higher since I always seem to get message- no space left to install new apps.

After changing the data partition size, the System size would go to 0. Must be something with the refresh of free space since I would go back out and back in and it would show something different. It doesn't matter as much at the moment since there is only Rooted kitkat and BajaRom 4.4.2 available at the moment for it. I have rooted kitkat in my Stock slot and sticking with it.

Patiently waiting for Hyper Rom -kitkat version ;) Then might start using another bank.

BTW: this bring me to a question. I will prob. not be using more than 2 slots total. Stock and Slot 1 for example. I would like to divide the FULL amount of INTERNAL free space between the two. I assume the partitioning concept is similar to a PC. For example, if the remainder 3 slots are not used / formatted, they become irrelevant. Meaning , total free space on Device will be divided up between the 2 formatted slots automatically. Or do I have to manually raise all data space in each slot to max?

Also would get a boot loop if select in SS - Reboot - Recovery. I guess this is because the factory Boot sector is replaced with S.S. If that option doesn't work, maybe take Recover boot mode option out.

Again, thanks for your hard work on SafeStrap. Without you we (Verizon) would not have options for better Roms..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] greydelta38:
Okay, ASSUMING that Hashcode gets ROM slots working on the 4.4 SS, and I have a backup of, say, the Eclipse 4.3 rom, can I have a 4.4 rom in slot 1 and a 4.3 rom in slot 2? And have the ability to switch between them?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Not 100% sure, but I'm gonna say NOT happening.

Two different radios/modems/firmware. The slots (1-4) depend on the stock slot (per se) which is why all system apps must be flashed in the stock slot.

Slots 1-4 are not supported in 3.72 (OP). Anyone can do what they want with their device but the 'not supported' part is don't post bugs in the forum.

Im having issues

I got most up and running fine. I like to install a few of mine own tweaked and inverted apps and I don't seem to be able to either delete amazon and stuff from system/app folder or to be able to write or click on the r/o r/w button in root explorer. I got latest one on my phone came out few days ago.

I do have the deodoxed rom installed. I did come off beans Jellybeans 4.3 all went nice and easy like 15 minutes total and I was in signed in and getting apps by itself from market. but once I tried to do my edits I quickly found this issue.

I thought I had other issue cause Pandora was skipping but I not noticed damn play store was still set to auto update for a bit and was updating a lot in background once I got that off all good with skips :)

I hope there is a fix or maybe I can put all I want to add in an update.zip for now. I rather manually push as I do most things but the main reason I want root is remove the bloat bs Verizon makes us keep most times. AMAZON crap.

EDIT: I just tried to make a backup to internal storage cause my 64gb card has all my old backups and more on it now is only 4gb free. I then try to restore to a slot and screen goes black for second them pops me back to SS/twrp install or backup screen it acts as though the backup is bad. IS that normal? I see few others doing this so I figured id have one to mess with for a bit but that's not working. When I ran beansJB rom before on SS 3.71 I had stock then rom1 was safestock then rom2 was my beansJB rom all worked fine then.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] greydelta38:
Well if that's the case, why wouldn't I be able to have MJE in one slot, and NC2 in another? Such as a 4.4 Rom in the stock slot, and 4.3 in the rom slot 1.

I realize that 3.72 doesn't support 4.3 right now, but what I'm saying is, is that a plausible thing to look forward to in the near future? Because otherwise, I'll stick to 4.3 until Nitro releases a stable Eclipse 4.4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
All system apps, files (including modem, radio, firmware) must be flashed in stock slot. Slots 1-4 don't run their own sys files (per se) they run on stock slot files.

This is why running mje 4.3 firmware on slot 1 with a nc2 4.4 rom on stock slot (or vice versa) will have issues.

Think of SS stock slot as a pot of chili, and slots 1-4 as bowls. You can add whatever you want to the bowls of chili, but the chili in the bowls is the same as what's in the pot :D
