can someone recommend a 4.3 ROM that we can flash on the TMobile running the AT&T Safestrap? I looked but can't seem to find anything but 4.4.2 ROMs.

Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cun7:
Uhh, why would you use the ATT CSC files?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Because it doesn't work if you use T-mobile's and looking at the actual CSC files, there isn't anthing that would affect our phone's operation. Look at the files yourself and compare to T-mobile's.

Completely pointless imo. Why limit your capabilities with Safestrap. Att users are dieing to have what we have, and you want there limitations? F Knox. F the warranty nonesense. Tmob doesn't care
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siralsmooth:
Not to point out the obvious here, but some people actually need Knox for secure/work purposes. Thus giving a way to customize and enjoy their device while keeping everything all hunky dory.

No, I didn't say I didn't like it, I said f it. I understand the implementation and potential but Using an att Safestrap on our device is retarded.

I think its more of the convenience of having multiple roms installed at the same time and they are one click away.

Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] IronCityMZ3:
Having had a Motorola Droid Razr for a while I had to use Safestrap. I liked it because you could have multiple roms installed. The only problem on my Razr was that putting another rom as the primary rather than having it on a virtual slot was always iffy. I just came from a Nexus 4 to the Note 3 and what the Nexus 4 had was multi-rom for TWRP which was an addon for the TWRP recovery. I wonder if anyone will make something like that for the Note 3. That would be fantastic. It worked like Safestrap but still used TWRP itself (rather than being "based" on TWRP) and just allowed multiple roms as well like Safestrap would.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdidtht:
Yup you ate right. I agree with that. Not the other stuff though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Samstealth7:
i was gonna say the same thing buddy.

who wouldn't want the ability to have multiple roms on their device, just a reboot away.

anyway I think it's a cool idea to have 2 recovery's and be able to run multiple roms

KitKat + SafeStrap

I'm anxious to get into SafeStrap, however I just manually upgraded to KitKat.

I used the exploit to Keep Knox AND Root, so I'm 100% stock (Recovery and Rom)

Safestrap seems like the perfect way for me the have my cake and eat it, but can anyone tell me if there are any caveats?

Since the official KitKat upgrade is relatively new.

Can anyone confirm it works ok? (preferably devices that were able to preserve Knox + Root)

Any caveats?

Thanks!

Tripping Knox?

If I flash the stock ROM partition with Safestrap's recovery Knox does not get tripped, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jsouthernindiana:
Those possibilities are opened up way before safestrap. I am running a kernel and recovery which supports dual boot. I can reboot into different Roms. One aosp and the other a touchwiz if I like. The devel kernel is just to name one that allows this.

So far the only solution I have found on the Note 3 to Dual boot was the lovely Safestrap. I had to use Verizon's latest version and it works wonderfully. I am running tweaked latest as stock ROM. my own S5 Port as ROM slot 1. Both are running on same ColonelX R21 NF1 base kernel. if I want to switch kernels I flash in regular TWRP

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
It's a way to keep Knox 0x0 and still boot custom ROMs with the benefit of dual ROMs. As long as you don't flash custom recovery or kernel, your Knox won't trip the security flag and you can still use Knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dvanzutphenkann:
My question is how would I root without tripping Knox to use safe strap?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jtl_777:
When you flash certain ROMs, aren't multiple things flashed like kernels, basebands, and other things other than just the system? Wouldn't flashing a ROM that does this trip your knox warranty? I somehow managed to root my N900T NB4 with towelroot. That's all I've done so I'm stock rooted. What exactly will trip knox warranty? Will deleting all the knox apks and files trip it? Also if something goes wrong and I soft brick, will Odin to stock with official firmware trip it as well? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Most custom ROMs don't include anything beyond the system software and kernel. As long as the kernel is a stock kernel, it won't trip Knox. Baseband and bootloader won't trip Knox even if they are included. Only custom kernel or custom recovery will trip Knox.

If you'd like to update to NF9 while keeping Knox and being rooted, follow my guide here http://xdaforums.com/note-3-tmobile/general/how-to-root-nf4-knox-0x0-effortless-nf4-t2846142
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jtl_777:
I would be interested in the latest update, all while keeping root and not tripping knox, however right now my battery life is incredible! I would hate to mess that up! haha what are the changes from NB4 to NF9? Anything major or are there just minor tweaks? If you think my battery will stay the same (or perhaps increase) and performance is increased in your opinion than I don't see why not!! :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Everything was for the better with NF9. You'll also gain voice over lte, download booster, free Internet and texting on some flights, WiFi calling to voice over lte (and the other way around) seamless handover and a few other things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jtl_777:
You sold me! Quick question: On my old s3 I removed carrierIQ by using a root browser to rename the apks, however on here, they seem to be hidden in root browsers. I was able to find two of the apks and rename them, and then froze the last one with AndroidTuner. Will this work or is there more to CIQ than meets the eye? Also, can I remove system apps at will without worrying about voiding warranty as long as I can flash stock firmware through odin? Thanks man, you're great help!!

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

Is Voice over lte seamless handover mean wifi calls aren't dropped when you leave wifi range? it just connects to mobile network?? That would be legiiitttt!

By the way..... Your guides truly are effortless. I love Odin!! :)))

You rock! :cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Removing those CIQ APKs (or any other system APK) will be just fine... it won't void your warranty as you can flash the stock system software via Odin as you said. Removing/freezing/renaming those three APKs will do the trick. They try to integrate CIQ into actual files within other APKs, but once the main CIQ APKs are disabled, CIQ is basically nonexistent. I'm glad I can help and that the guides are painless. Let me know how NF9 is for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jtl_777:
So would you say the NF9 kernel has good battery life compared to the NF6 or whatever one is in the NB4? Since I can switch them out "Effortlessly" ;) I'd like to know which you think is best! Do you have any threads or guides on rooting a Verizon S4 on 4.4.2? Thanx bro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drExel:
Requires persistent root to work?

Hi, effortless,

First thanks for all the (other) work you've done for our handsets in the past. This notification is great. I am curious though - once you root, install the APK, and have the SS recovery installed... Do you need to keep the handset rooted (specifically, I guess, on the STOCK rom)? I ask because I have some enterprise apps that are notorious for 'checking for root' due to BYOD policies enforced therein.

So what I would like to do is:

A) Root

B) Install SS Recovery

C) Un-Root ASAP

D) Continue using SS Recovery with Stock ROM remaining just that: STOCK

E) Play with other slots custom roms, rooted, tooted, etc.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
That's a good question. I doubt that any of the stuff done before Android completes booting requires 'su' -- it is all done with root access outside of 'su'. Rebooting from the SafeStrap Android application directly into SafeStrap Recovery probably does require 'su', so to get into SafeStrap Recovery from Android you would have to reboot the device manually and catch the SafeStrap Recovery menu while booting. I think that is the only thing lost if you unroot. The SafeStrap Android application only installs the boot-hijack code, uninstalls the boot-hijack code, and reboots into SafeStrap Recovery, everything else -- all the ROM management -- is done by the hijack code.

I am fairly confident that you can do all on your list, but I rely too much on 'su' for other things to experiment with unrooting.

Frank

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

I'll revise your list:

A) Root;

B) Install SS application;

C) Install SS Recovery with the SS application;

D) Reboot into SS Recovery to ensure all the installation steps are performed;

E) Boot into Android and optionally uninstall the SS application

F) Un-Root

G) Continue using SS Recovery with Stock ROM remaining just that: STOCK

H) Play with other slots custom roms, rooted, tooted, etc.

Be aware that any ROMs you install might contain 'su' and the superuser application, but they would remain there and not migrate to your stock ROM.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drExel:
Frank, appreciate your response as I was hoping for much the same as you describe. Will give it a go.

A bit off-topic - is there a sure-fire way of ensuring you 'un-root' (without leaving any bits behind) that doesn't involving Odin'ing stock? I trued using SuperSU un-root feature and my enterprise stuff still tripped up until I re-flashed.

Again - thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Additionally, before you unroot, you might wish to convert the SafeStrap Recovery menu into something more Samsung-like, in case you have to reboot while at work. And this part I have done. Copy the 'png' images from '/system/etc/safestrap/res' and edit them as desired, not their size though, then copy them back. Changing the images will not affect the touch-zones.

Your unroot question should be answered by someone else, but if your enterprise software tripped even after a full unroot then it might be checking a signature of the System partition; in which case it won't like what SafeStrap adds to the System partition.

Safestrap works, no Knox tripping, and GOOD ENTERPRISE is really GOOD

Just wanted to respond back on my results...

I used latest SafeStrap 3.75 and my goal was to have a viable STOCK rom (un-rooted) in the STOCK slot so that I could have GOOD ENTERPRISE (for work e-mail and such) working appropriately. So, I found a nice STOCK de-odexed image here on XDA and flashed that to the STOCK SLOT. I backed it up using the SAFESTRAP recovery menu and then I flashed the latest TWEAKED with a nice looking theme over the STOCK slot and set that up the way I wanted and then backed that up as well.

I had read much about the fact that the other slots are not working anymore and that if you want to try other roms you have to use the STOCK slot to do so. But, I realized that BACKUPS made from the other SLOTS or straight-flashes TO THOSE slots were the problem (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/updated-safestrap-i337-kitkat-v3-75-rom-t2904854).

So I RESTORED the backup I made of TWEAKED in the STOCK-SLOT to SLOT-1, made it primary and was able to boot without any problems and the ROM works great. I THEN restored my initial backup of STOCK DE-ODEXED made from the STOCK-SLOT back to to the STOCK-SLOT. I then re-installed GOOD ENTERPRISE and had my IT department issue me a new activation and it is working great.

I have no idea if the OTHER slots are working as well, but imagine the same principle of usage can be applied for the other slots provided you have the ample space to set them up!

Hey guys, I got a quick Q. I got me a TMo Note 3, and the battery life sucks on it. I wanna run CM 12.1 but I also wanna keep the stock ROM on the side because of course the S Pen feature and the stock Camera apps are great.

However, I'm on stock 5.0 Lollipop. I'm rooted and I have TWRP 2.8.6.0. Will installing the latest BETA version of Safestrap work? Is it ok to downgrade my TWRP to TWRP based Safestrap?

Any answer is appreciated guys :)

EDIT: So, I've installed the Safestrap.apk, I have installed everything necessary for it such as BusyBox etc and when I click on "REBOOT TO RECOVERY" inside Safestrap, the device just boots up into system.

I've then removed my battery and tried booting into recovery, manually, and I just don't see anything about Safestrap. I've Googled all over, watched about 5 videos on YouTube to see if I was missing something etc, and no go...

Any help? :P thanks guys :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siralsmooth:
Safestrap was intended for Android 4.3

You probably won't get it working if you're on lollipop to start with.
