I have never used a system with multi-rom slots. Is it possible to have a non rooted rom in one to run good for enterprise when at work?

I tried to back up stock and restore to room slot... I backed up on external SD card. Does the back up have to be on internal? Because I hung at the Verizon screen and had to do battery pull upon reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ronaldheld:
I was on the previous version of SS. I saved and restored to the external SD card with no issues. I did not try it your way.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] haza12d:
I'm trying to take the OTA update to MJ7 and I believe it keeps failing because Safestrap Recovery is installed. I'm thinking about uninstalling it and I have a few questions about removing it. Can I just run the Safestrap app and uninstall recovery? Do I need to delete/format any of the ROM slots I created? Or will they be automatically wiped/deleted if I uninstall recovery through the app?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bossei:
Do I have to install SS on the slot I install the custom Rom or jyst obes?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Just the original slot, no need to put it on every slot.

Is loki impossible on safestrap.....cut s4 just got a 4.4 rom....but they have loki......just wonderin.....any loki love here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] terryfiedxda:
When creating a new ROM slot, the default sizes are 2600MB, 2500MB and 300MB for system partition, data partition and cache partition sizes respectively. Are these the recommended sizes for TW-based ROMs (such as BeansROM)? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ronaldheld:
I am curious whether people use more than one ROM slot+stock or just flash to the same slot with different ROMS to save on storage?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mbh87:
S4 only has Loki on the original shipping firmware. Safestrap wouldn't be necessary if updated S4's and the Note 3 had it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
I was going to pull the OTA also and just went through the process you are taking about. I uninstalled the recovery then the ss app, unfroze SDM, turned off root and selected survival mode. I rebooted, downloaded the update and then tried to install. It went into stock recovery and got half way through instal and then failed. I tried a couple times with no luck. I've read of other people having success but I'm not one of them... I could be missing a step though?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] haza12d:
Did you wipe/delete your ROM slots when you uninstalled SS Recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BluPhant:
Yay! I have SafeStrap!

Successfully rooted [MJ7] using a "royal" method that is not allowed to be spoken about here under the threat of thread closure. SafeStrap went on easily, and after a bit of orientation (for me, its my first time using TWRP so it's all hella fancy to me) it's totally simple. Briefly created a rom slot and installed JellyBeans but ended up purging it after I had what appeared to be a storage issue... google search stopped working & attempting to install it from the play store gave me an error message. I'm totally not obsessed with putting a new rom on this; that is to say given the horsepower on this pig it overcomes a lot of the stock crap. But it is a good feeling to know I've got a solid TWRP backup, and I'm quite certain I'll play with another ROM or two down the road.

Kudos HashCode, appreciate your efforts.

--edit

just confirmed knox 0x0 :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Just so you know, with the current jellybeans build there is a problem with google search, just delete google search and install from the play store if you want to run the rom now.

Also, "royal" root method?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BluPhant:
Aye, I just was reading same. It's okay tho, I'm ok with what I have now. Royal = Kingo .. but thought the first rule was dont talk about fight club :)

FYI, I'm beta testing v3.65 which has most of the remaining bugs in the "KNOWN ISSUES" list fixed:

- adb in recovery

- "Reboot Recovery" from the SS APK reboots directly to Safestrap Recovery

- as well as some TWRP changes

- and more bugfixes

The only real outstanding item is Aroma support, but that may need to be implemented on their end and won't require a SS fix when it's ready.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] maahfu:
Larger partitions??? thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:
I'm really pushing the limit on the 4gb data partition. It's a single file in the OS and already it's blowing away the normal 2gb file size limit. :/

I can experiment w/ 5gb max size /data but it's hard to say how stable that would be over time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:
New version of Safestrap in the OP: v3.65

Calling this a STABLE release.

CHANGES:

[v3.65]"Reboot Recovery" button in Safestrap APK *should* reboot to SS recovery now

[v3.65]Fixed adb shell in recovery

[v3.65]TWRP updates

[v3.65]Bugfix "toolbox" commands in recovery

[v3.64]Fixed booting while plugged into charger

[v3.64]Fixed init.*.rc file processing order during 2nd-init

For the most part all of the normal features of Safestrap are functioning when on the stock MI9/MJ7 ROMs. If you flash a custom ROM to your stock slot, your mileage may vary.

EDIT: Aroma Installer is being worked out with the developer of Aroma. It's not something I can fix in Safestrap. No update will be necessary once it's been updated to support the new QCOM framebuffer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Thanks a lot Hashcode, it's been awesome watching your work. One question for you, since this is essentially TWRP, do you think themes would work in any way?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BluPhant:
3.65 update applied and working nicely. While I'm not using this app to it's potential, I can confirm that the upgrade process itself works nicely & that boot into recovery does go into SS.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shawnten:
so i am really just using this now like any other recovery putting the rom right on the main slot and keeping everything else empty. so really this is just like loki to an extent. an I correct

So i guess the only thing this wont do is flash a kernel. so that being said when we get the update for 4.4 we will be back at square one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BIGSIKE3:
Successfully updated to 3.65 that's all good, just got a question on flashing the MJ7 modem through Odin, do you have to be on the stock rom slot in order to flash or will any rom/slot do?. Is it as easy as open odin/select file/ flash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] genesis72:
If it's a .zip file that is meant to be flashed in recovery, not Odin, if it's a .tar file that's Odin. I'm not sure it'll matter which Rom slot you're on, but maybe to be safe flash in stock slot. Hope that helps!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BIGSIKE3:
So you can then flash the .zip on the VZW N3 in SS? I didn't know you could flash anything bur roms in SS. If that's what you are saying lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ryanbg:
So you are installing custom ROM right into the stock slot? I was curious about this. I'm not concerned about being able to fix it with ODIN, I'd rather be able to utilize my entire data partition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Deekayy:
Hey guys so I installed SS and during the splash screen selection it says " SS : Disabled ". While looking at other threads it's supposed to be disabled?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ContractorDude:
It will say disabled if you are on the stock slot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] QbanXpress:
Im on stock and I'm trying to update SS to 3.65 but I'm getting parsing error when opening apk. I tried all download links with same results. I have no modifications done other than root and original safestrap installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joshw0000:
Sounds like a bad download. It installed fine for me over a previous version
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jiji.james:
Same for me... I have been trying to download the latest version and always get the parsing error
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] genesis72:
I believe that is correct! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jr_718:
When you in Safestrap recovery and you hit reboot to recovery it takes you back to the stock recovery. ..anyone else. ..Btw thanks Hashcode :) *bows to you*
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nitronet:
Neither download link works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jmorton10:
the modem files are tar files
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] genesis72:
I stand corrected. Thought the modem files were zip, but alas my original quote is correct: Tar's in Odin, zip's in recovery. ;)

Dang autocorrect!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shawnten:
since this doesnt install a kernel does that mean we really will not be able to flash aosp roms

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

yep I used stock slot just like i would any other recovery. wiped and installed. and works perfectly
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gunthermic:
Pure AOSP you will not. TW ROM's only.. AOSP requires changes to kernel to function.

They can be hybrid ones... but wil not be AOSP unless we get Loki or an unlocked Bootloader. HC has stated he does nto beleive they can get a customized kerel through SS.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mbh87:
Since you have a dev edition you can just flash TWRP, you don't need SafeStrap.

I want to use ss on my de, I love dual boot have 3 systems on my pc; I already have twrp in the recovery partition and am rooted & updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ZackFearheart:
Weird issue for me. I've got mine rooted (Via the one click, Kingo program) and SuperSU is installed, and I even installed Root checker and it claims I have root access, Yet I install this app, And it says I am not rooted. I tried rebooting and it didn't change. What did I do wrong?

Also; Can I install HyperDrive ROM with this? It says all it needs is safe strap. All I want is a custom ROM because I'm sick of all the bloat / Samsung crap on my note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:
Can you try using another app which requires root access or confirm that in adb shell you can type "su" and get a "#" prompt?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ZackFearheart:
SD Maid loads, Root Explorer loads (Both require root access)

Well, I just tried to open my SuperSU and it gave me an error. My phone has updated recently, So I guess I lost my root because of that. Will re-root and get back to you.

EDIT: Had to re-root. Got it installed now.

Can I install HyperDrive ROM using this method?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dukins:
I want to preface this with, I've never used ss ever. I only installed yesterday to try to try it the new roms.

I have a few questions. Is there a way to delete the other rom slots? I will never have a reason to run anymore than 2 roms at a time. It seems this will allow you to use more than 4gb of internal space. I have over 155 apps and it isn't leaving much room for anything else.

Can I backup my stock rom, save it to my computer and replace the stock slot with another rom? Should I need to return to my original, I can take the backup off the computer and install back on my phone, then restore?

Any help would be appreciated. Trying to understand the ins and outs. My goal is too always have my rooted stock on slot but have more than 4gb for other roms I want to try out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Yes, you can use Safestrap to install Hyperdrive, it's the only way you could install Hyperdrive to the Verizon Note 3 currently. Sbreen's got good instructions in his OP
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
When you say your phone updated recently, do you mean fom MI9 to MJ7? If so, how did you re-root?

After snooping and being very impressed with hash's modem_links.sh a quick look only reveals the q6.mdt file is missing but since that was from the s4 thread its probably a file not present on the n3.

Nice clean uninstall, so that's why hash stopped posting the uninstall script. :)

So I'm stuck and seem to be the only one still not getting the SS splash screen and unable to run the SS recovery. DOA :(

I became a professional programmer in 1979 and the old office still makes me support some of the stuff I wrote that is still among the living. I thought software had a lifetime but the ancient IBM 360/370 assembler level code born in the mid 1960's is still making money for them! I have seen code from the very messy to crisp and clean and though I just looked at your shell script I have no problem with trusting your software. Blush, blush but bask in the glory of your following, you earned and deserve it.

As for my issue I have become a lier but a very happy lier because I am now up and running so it seems. I just hate disappearing issues like this since the mystery may never be solved! In executing your above assignment and receiving an error that kmsg was not found the reboot while plugged brought up the SS splash and the recovery option! Then I unplugged and rebooted again and again have the SS splash screen! Now I get to safely play and try before I buy!

Thanks for the attention and since I have it, any thoughts on why I don't have a kmsg, I thought it was part of the basic android installation?

I am rooted on stock version (have not taken OTA), however I'm ready to jump in, just a question on how to proceed.

Judging by the title, the ROM version doesn't matter for installing SS, however, is there any advantage to update to latest OTA version prior to installing SS?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Some are saying better standby battery, but not a bunch of differences. Always best to be on the latest though, especially since there's no change in security / knox / etc. on mj7. Instructions & files here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2528707

Something weird happened last night. Working on a flashed Verizon Note 3 to Boost. I was on the stock ROM slot. Booted it fine. I editted the build.prop file... a couple of lines to add carrier info. When I rebooted the phone, I noticed that my stock ROM won't boot. After safestrap screen comes up, I just get a black screen. So I went to safestrap recovery, enabled slot 1 (Hyperdrive slot rom) and booted it. Worked fine. However, when I checked the contents of /mnt/sdcard, it's showing the content of stock ROM 's /mnt/sdcard. I don't remember if that has always been the case, or whether or not each ROM slot has its own virtual /mnt/sdcard.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
All the slots share both of the sdcards so we have to be careful, only the internal memory is unique.
