Yeah, I believe you have to run them on internal storage unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1john:
OK, so safestrap is the work around to loading ROMS on 4.3. So I need this, and then 4.3 roms. And load those via safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1john:
So I don't really feel like wiping or bricking my phone so if u can get a definite answer in this. I've rooted and flashed several roms on several phones, I'm just wondering if safestrap is a prerequisite to a 4.3 OTA ROM.

THANKS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You mean corequisite?

If you have the 4.3 ota and you want to load a custom 4.3 touchwiz rom, you have to use safestrap. It's unable to load any other recovery.

You don't need it before the ota.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1john:
Corequisite makes more sense, yes. Thanks for that definite answer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
Hey guys. So when I make a ROM slot, can I safely use the factory reset and other wipe options when that ROM slot is selected? From what I understand, it won't touch the stock partitions at all. Is that correct? I mean can I just flash a ROM in the slot I make, and wipe data and stuff?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes. To get a better idea of how it looks, check out either video of Safestrap for the S4 or Note II.

S4 video, skip to 4:25

or

Note II video, skip to 8:25

Basically, only make changes on rom slots. Do not touch the stock rom slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
Right, but my wiping in the ROM slots won't touch anything in the Stock slot, right? Thanks for the video. I'll check it out later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nope. You activate a rom slot and any changes in the form of flashing or wiping are done on that activated rom slot. Just triple check that you are not on your stock rom slot and you will be all set. There might be a difference in color when on the stock slot than when on a custom rom slot based on those videos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Alternity:
So does this not apply to 4.4.2 KitKat Roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Correct, this is only for 4.3 TouchWiz roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wesyde:
how to use safestrap

i have a sch-I535 rooted running 4.3, with a locked bootloader...when i rooted the phone the instructions stated that the only way to install custom roms is with safestrap...the version i have is safestrap 3.71...the problem is i can't figure out or find any tutorials showing me how get the custom rom and gapps into the custom rom slot...i have both pieces of software loaded onto my internal sd card/download....i am a total noobie to all of this so i'll need detailed instructions and or a tutorial....just in case anyone is wondering i used The Pagels root method...not understanding why i keep finding posts in regards to safestrap but no instructions on how to use this version...

ANY AND ALL HELP REGARDING THIS MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...THANK YOU...

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

not sure that's the case with the vid i found on youtube...my particular problem is the person in the vid wasn't using 3.71 so i didn't have access to certain instructions in the vid...and he definitely wasn't using a touchwiz rom...either way if you do happen to be correct could you supply a link to said custom roms???...please don't think i'm being lazy because i have looked high and low for countless hours and haven't been successful in finding them, which i'm sure is a result of my being a noobie...

AS ALWAYS ANY AND ALL HELP REGARDING THIS MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL HELP...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I can assure you bud, you can only flash touchwiz 4.3 roms while using Safestrap. Only roms from our dev section with "VRUCML1" or "ML1" in the title. This means no AOSP roms...for now.

What is your question? Cuz your post is kinda jumbled. You already have Safestrap installed? Have you designated space for rom slots? Once you have done so, you just activate a rom slot and flash the VRUCML1 TW rom to that slot.

I'm trying to export SMS messages from my PPC to my PC. I've spent the last two days searching the web (including this site) for a solution, but so far no luck. I'm beginning to think that this is impossible.

I've tried a whole bunch of applications, including SmsBackup, SmsOrganizer, SmsExport, SPStudio and Jeyo Mobile Companion. None of these applications have been able to export my messages.

I've also tried to extract the messages from the system databases using different database tools. With this approach, I've managed to export my received messages. However, I'm unable to export my sent messages as these seem to be spread over different databases and text files.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction here. My PPC is a Qtek 9090 running WM 2003 SE.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, do I get a prize for reading the whole post! :D

You can do an export (of sorts) using Jeyo Mobile Extender.

Download the 14 day trial, install and the SMS's will show up in Outlook. Go to File, Import/Export,select "Export To A File", choose file type - I tried both Access & Excel - then choose the SMS Inbox/Sent items from the Next screen.

The only problem is the fields that are exported don't include date/time!

Hope that helps :)

Here's my situation. I rooted MJ7 using rootjunky via vroot and then flashed to get rid of the chinese. I then installed safestrap and created a new romslot and put Hyperdrive on my device. Then... my usb port on my device quit working. Verizon is sending me a replacement. So I read somewhere to take the MK2 update to lose root and factory reset which supposedly was going to get me back to a point where I can send it to Verizon. I did this and unfortunately the SuperSu icon is still there and the Custom padlock boot animation is still there. I never did unroot through the terminal nor uninstall safestrap. SO..... what are my options here? USB still doesn't work so I cant reroot via USB and try to gracefully unroot and uninstall SuperSu. Is there a way to root directly on the device? Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
The saferoot method might be able to be done via terminal emulator, the install.sh seems to be all shells commands. Don't see why you couldn't modify it to run from the phone, or enter the commands manually. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Edit:

Nvm. It states it cannot be ran from terminal emulator.
