totally dont mind man. Anything to make progress towards getting this stock rom off of here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigshotrob22:
How are you working on this? Is there source?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
I got the same message but I was able to restore back to stock. Is there anyway we can modify the rom for the system can accept it and not fight against it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
hashcode has his source up on git.

not sure still trying to work on it

Awesome thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
well i just got a rom to flash and boot. So we are making progress here. The problem lies in the boot.img which i believe is the kernel iirc its been a while lol. I removed it from the zip file and it flashed and booted the rom with no problems :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
Awesome that should ease some users for a bit while I figure out the rest :)

Did wifi work? I believe we need to flasg some modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigshotrob22:
Do you have your source on git? I want to take a look at it tomorrow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
Just got my own rom to boot as well. :D

Seems the boot.img is the issue...not giving up on fixing rom-slots though so we can always have the stock rom there in case of any issues! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
exactly i tried to flash a kit kat rom and it failed lol. that wouldve saved me a little bit of time :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
lmao sorry! :D

Well go ahead and try and flash something? lol

unfortunately some roms will need to be edited for it to work especially those with aroma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
i havnt ran into any problems with any roms under 4.4. Of course i only tried to flash 2 4.3 roms so far. One had aroma and didnt give me any problems. The other was just a text installer no problems either. I can start linking roms in this thread if you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
How about we do this ill open a Development thread tomorrow and you get the post after the OP to link all working roms/how to fix roms to work for us so far...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
sounds good to me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerland:
Is there one certain romantic we should try an flash with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleepwlk78:
I suggest flashing while watching sleepless in Seattle. It's more of a romantic comedy but it's better than you've got mail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
Well I flashed alliance, n3bula and Jellywiz with a simple edit to the aroma config and updater-script
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
What needed to be edited?

So, so far, we have 4.3 TW ROM's functional as well as some 4.4 if I understand correctly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DizzyFox:
Do I need to do anything special to get this apk to install. Wont install ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
i flashed alliance without editing anything :D. i dont think 4.4 roms will work as it probly requires a different kernel. You need to drop it in /system/app with a root explorer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] skullvet:
Just to clear this up, does this mean we can flash a custom recovery also? If not, how do we go about flashing a rom?

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Forget it, figured it out. Safestrap is in place of recovery. Correct me if I am wrong, but Safestrap leaves your stock rom alone on the system or does it wipe it? Does the space become available?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
Once safe strap is stable you will have rom slots

to flash roms on and your stock system will be left untouched. But this is an alpha build for those eager to flash over their stock system and play around with stock modded roms.

4.4 won't work and just fixed that issue of not installing and opened a dev thread with the new apk that can be installed like a normal app :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
First off, let me say thank you for what you are doing and secondly if you're still looking for mounting points in terminal emulator I guess the coincide? Like 1:1 2:2

I may be completely off here, but I would like to try and help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
Beast mode I been working on testing some also but I can find a link to nebula. And also can we try jedi x?

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

Great team work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] skullvet:
Can this be used to flash mods like the modded Google wallet and hotspot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProjectAlly:
Sorry if this is OT, but I just want to say thank to the dev/devs working on this project!

If you need any testers I'd be willing to try it out when the time comes.

Also where can I send a lil' donation to show my appreciation?

Still rocking SS on my original RAZR and love it!

Can't wait to see what progress you guys make for our (unfortunately) locked 4.3 Note 2's...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
I dont see why not just don't flash a kernel :)

I dont usually get testers I like to throw it out there to get the many testing :)

On another note:

Dont you hate it when the answer has been in front of you the whole time? :) clarity is awesome :)

Good night for SS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
Spill it bro lol

Can't be hinting around :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
I have a question when I installed safestrap I rebooted my phone it comes up and says safestrap disabled is that suppose to happen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
Technically until another rom slot besides stock is active it is disabled, no problem bud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
Ok cool never used safestrap before. Is there a list of Roms out for us to run on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
4.3 tw roms.

And you have to edit scripter and boot.img and aroma if applicable.

It's in the dev thread where the apk is of what you have to change, people have reported that they flashed without editing anything, but no reason to not do it... better safe than Odin or restore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
Or mess up your knox lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
I c well I dnt know how do mess with that stuff I have never went that deep into Flashing Roms any tutorial on that stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
If no one adds a tutorial in a couple days i'll do one.

Just working on getting rom slots to work that way we won't have to flash over system :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
That's what I wanna be a part of. You need to setup an androirc room, take me back to my dx2 days with dragon killer lol

Edit... I guess I missed the free node #safestrap. Dang, my apologies man lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
Yes u have no idea how much your guys work is appreciated u guys are f....... Awesome. OK one more dumb question is there any Roms that I can flash that dnt need modified?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

I guess I'm asking if I flash without editing will permanently brick my phone if not I will flash away?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
It's not really worth the risk man... If you already have your rom downloaded you are already half way there. I'm in the process of downloading nebula so I can form a tutorial on what to exchange to follow Beastmode ' s method. Just compare those files he gave in the dev thread and change what needs to be changed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
Ok thanks a lot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:

Rough tutorial. Beast make sure I didn't kill it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
Sweet OK I will try that I have no patience just spent 2 hours in bricking my note I flashed the jelly wiz rom without editing and ended up with the Verizon software thing lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
Open the zip file and remove the boot.img from it. That will fix the Verizon software error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
Yea I had to reset everything on my phone and Odin stock back to it so if I take the boot Img it would have worked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
Pretty much...I advice to correct/edit scripts just so everything flashes correctly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
I went to delete the boot img. On alliance rom I see 2 boot img am I right and do I delete both

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

I'm sorry for bothering u guys with these dumb questions but where would the boot img be is it a folder or in the script?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
Give me a few minutes and ill fix the alliance zip and send you the meta-inf

Cause I honestly have no idea about the boot.img, I saw that earlier when looking through and I was gonna just take those out but the other method is something I understand more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
OK great thank u
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
Check your pms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
I flash jedi X2 I got no response. It did not boot up or anything. So I have to restore it back on Odin and my Knox says 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
I got the alliance rom to work man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hggadm3:
good to know buddy, i doubt i was any help at all but i sent you another pm.

Cant wait to see beastmode open this up to get them slots going
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaceBewley:
I get through the Alliance installer and when it reboots, it boots back to my stock ROM.... Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? Knowing me it is something simple I am just overlooking??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HerroMoto:
If you get the Verizon message can you restore a backup that you made with safestrap? So eager to try flashing a rom I'm not near a computer to fix it if something goes wrong (which it shouldnt) but Idc lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerland:

Flash stock modules ...if no one does it by this afternoon ill put a zip together
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
I'll see if I can upload the zip from my phone .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Domush:
Okay, so I installed the app, installed the recovery, booted into recovery, backed up my current install.

Then I flashed the nebula ROM (with the modified install scripts) and rebooted, getting that "safestrap disabled" boot screen, chose continue and it just booted back into my stock ROM with nothing different. I don't know what installed where, but it certainly didn't install over my stock ROM.

What did I do wrong/miss?

EDIT: It seems as though it's refusing to mount the insternal SDCard inside TWRP. Has anyone else had this issue? Do I have to repartition it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaceBewley:
Same issue I have with alliance...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
We have not fixed the SD card mounting yet. At least I don't think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
I was able to flash alliance and run it

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Forgive me if I misunderstand your issue I'm kinda new but I think I flashed mine thru ext sd card

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

When I flashed the alliance rom I just booted into recovery did the factory wipe and flashed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
Yea you have to flash it from the external sd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
I have an idea send me the roms that work I will download them and extract the boot.img and upload them to my Google drive and share the link see of that helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnnymac65:
How do I go about flashing from sd card without bootloader being unlocked or an open recovery? Sorry for the newb question. Idownloaded the ss apk and installed it. Works great..did a backup. Works great. For some reason when i try to flash a rom it fails. What am i doing wrong. Please help..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Domush:
When flashing over stock does it read -1 on all of the space available values?

I'm missing something because it's still not working, yet appears to flash just fine (no errors). Yet on reboot nothing has changed at all.

Is a factory wipe required to get it to flash? Seems that the flash itself would factory wipe it.

Can someone please do a step by step or simply look over what steps I skipped above?

I keep reading "just do this. .." but obviously that isn't the case and some important steps are being glossed over and assumed.

EDIT: I finally got a ROM to flash successfully! I'm not sure what change made it work, but I chose nebula with odex (not deodex) and chose custom install (not full). Everything went fine after that.

I'm so so happy right now. I don't care if this never gets improved as I'm exactly where I want to be!

Thank you thank you Mr Safe strap creator and modder!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen255:
I hit the factory wipe button before I flashed and worked for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rod_ol_fo:
i didnt wipe from Trents ROM to Alliance ROM and everything ran perfect. if anyone wants the Alliance ZIP for SS let me know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aiekazie:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bingojo:
A big reason I don't like to run on stock is because it takes up a ridiculous amount of disk space (with more than just bloatware). Is there any way this will improve using safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaceBewley:
Yeah, I'll take it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
. Guys remember this is still alpha. Not every phone is gonna respond the same either. With that said flash away :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
You think it's possible to help out with jedi

I think it's a good rom to run
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:

dont seem like I have missed any steps but when I try flashing the Rom it fails saying it failed to mount. Can anybody make a step by step process to flash a ROM. Thanks Jim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcdman4000:
I have questions about the flashing process using this modified TWRP.

1. After installation my Safe System status does not change to active.

2. Once in recovery mode. The rom slot will not change to stock rom. Will this effect flashing?

3. Do I use this as I would regular TWRP? Wipe and flash.

4. Do I have to install the kernel for each new ROM when. Installing a ROM?

i have already modified N3ebula 2 by deleting the boot.img

when i wipe and flash it fails.

ok i just redid everything the same way and it worked IM IN N3EBULA!!!!! Wifi works, amazon and kindle stopped on set up. when i first boot into the rom however it tells me there is an update available via OTA. i cannot finf the OTA in safe strap revcovery as it downloads to the internal SD card. should i move it to the external SDcard and then extract it. remove the boot image and re intsall it? im getting so excited lol!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Are updates do not have boot.img in them so no worries there.. definitely move the OTA download to your exsd and flash that way..not sure how this safe strap works lol.. Or put it on your pc extract the rom extract the OTA and merge the files:thumbup:;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roflcoptersoisoi:
Sweet. Data wipe will fix the amazon crashing on boot.. But I see your phone isn't liking it... move it to the external sd and flash it xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnnymac65:
About the ora updates...can the themes be downloaded?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Also..sorry don't want to hijack this thread..but anyone who has N3bula up and running with proper edits..PM me I would like to add a separate dl for safe trap only:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JABOnline:
I know everyone has been excited to install roms using this method, but I was wondering if anyone has tried the backup functions of Safestrap?

Specifically I am wondering about it backing up the EFS partition on a phone that has the 4.3 OTA. The other ones would be good also, but I want to make a backup of the EFS just in case. It is the only thing I see that can't be replaced if you mess it up and don't have a backup as it has your IMEI information and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techguy1980:
This is awesome!

Thank you beastmode for this as I have been waiting for someone to work on this since Adam outler has apparently abandoned the i605 unless I'm wrong. I think it's awesome that it's having success. From what I've read on these 2 posts it's looks like touchwiz roms are flashing good. Has anyone tried an aosp rom or even a cyanogen based one? I'm curios as they typically have different kernels. I'm very close to taking the leap and getting this going on my own device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
This will only work for Touch Wiz ROM's... see this post from Beastmode earlier in this thread.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51278037 ... but at least it will give some other options to those with locked bootloader on 4.3. :cool:

No Aosp with Safestrap because you are limited to the stock kernel.

Unable to mount

I'm having a problem with mount when trying to flash roms:

unable to mount /sdcard

unable to mount /systemorig

unable to mount /ss

I have been able to create, and restore backups. But that's it

Edit: I think my problem when flashing roms was the zip file after I edited it. I noticed a message saying "unable to open zip file". Is 7-zip ok to use or is winrar better for this?
