can i just restore the phone back to normal i don't wanna do all of that now lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
You can just uninstall the Safestrap App via Application Manager in Settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
Having similar problem with safestrap

I have root access and SuperSU installed and working.

I downloaded the most recent version of safestrap (3.71 for mk2).

I open it and click install recovery. It does a few things and at the bottom it says "installed" but the status never changes to installed at the top and I can't reboot to recovery.

Any suggestions?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joedeuce:
You may have to change SELinux to permissive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
what do you mean "reboot into recovery" ? you mean the option on the power menu? Or when you do a clean restart of the phone and you don't get the safestrap splash screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
The option on the safestrap menu

The option on the safestrap menu. It stays grey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] polke45:
Don't you need BusyBox install first before installing Safestrap

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
How would I do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
selinux permission changer app in playstore I think
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] polke45:
open Terminal Emulator, type the following

su

setenforce 0

Go to Setting > More > About Phone, check if SE for Android Status is set to permissive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
Awesome! Worked like a charm. Now I just have to find out why it won't mount /system. Trying to do a backup and it fails.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
Can't quite get it to work

I think I may have a boot loop and not sure how to fix it. Anyone?

I got safestrap working. I installed hyperdrive and it said it installed successfully. I told it to reboot, safestrap says it's enabled, I click continue and then nothing...

By the way, I really appreciate all the help so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
what version of hyperdrive? You do know the most current version is Andriod 4.4 base is NOT compatible with SS3.71 or MK2 firmware right?

you must upgrade to andriod 4.4 amd use ss3.72 and only install on stock slot.

if this is the case, you will need to odin a clean image....

you need to start here

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
First, Thanks decaturbob. I went where you suggested and read until my eyes went cross-eyed. I should backup though. After much frustration and ignorance I managed to get lucky and factory restored my s4. I went through towelroot and supersu and safestrap steps again and got safestrap uninstalled. My phone is now back to normal. I really don't want to give up yet. So here is my phone info now that I actually know a little bit more about what the firmware is, etc.

1. Verizon Galaxy S4 sch-i545 with KK4.4.2 NC5

2. I do have root (verified with root checker)

3. I just downloaded the package from the link that includes odin 3.10, ss3.72, etc.

4. I was trying to install hyperdrive+RLS10+S4+final.zip before

So my question is this: Can I still use safestrap (the newer version 3.72) to install hyperdrive rom and is it the correct version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
if you are NC5 then you are android 4.4 and must use Android 4.4 base roms. Hyperdrive RLS10 is NOT android 4.4 base. The most current one is 17.1

there are a couple threads in general section that list SS3.72/Android 4.4 compatible roms.

there are youtube videos available I believe I linked to them as well as threads and info on safestrap. With NC5 and rom installs there are extra steps you must take. I advise you to keep reading and researching and looking at youtube videos
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
Thanks again Decaturbob. Just knowing the most current version helps immensely. is echo v26 a rom and is it compatible with nc5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
3 questions:

1. Does hyperdrive 17.1 have the googlies wifi fix built in or something like it?

2. Do I need to flash the nc5 modem or does hyperdrive 17.1 fix that too?

3. Will bluetooth still work after doing this? I have a pebble watch and I love it and need it to still work.

Thanks in advance for any help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
No, no, maybe. Some people have no problem, some people have problems with no solution
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
Sorry question 2 was 2 questions.

Do I need to flash the NC5 modem with 17.1?

Does 17.1 wifi work without the gogolie fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Don't need to but I would recommend the dev edition nc5 modem. Seems to be working better than the retail version

For some it does for some it doesn't. If you have a problem without it then flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
Cool. Thanks. I think I am ready to actually do this. Wish me luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keyguy13:
So far so good. Hyperdrive is running :) now waiting for it to idle down. Wifi not working so will need to flash the gogolies fix but everything else seems to be working fine. You guys absolutely rock!!

Thanks decaturbob and joshm.1219

UPDATE: Did the gogolies fix then flashed the nc5 retail modem and everything seems to be working fine. Oh, and the bluetooth is working great too.

[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
I'd like to see what version you guys are going to go for with the S5. I kinda like the TouchWiz version because of the Gear Fit, and stock Android is a little boring IMO. With little to no performance difference between the skinned S5 and stock Nexus 5 now, which version would you opt for and why?

Also worth noting that with past GPE devices the cameras were always better on the skinned versions IIRC.
[Galaxy S 5 General] sameer1807:
I'm having the same questions..is it possible to flash touchwiz Roms on the gpe edition? Cause if so it may be worth getting since it might be hard to root the carrier versions
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
+1. If buying off-contract, that would be nice. It would probably be hard though because of Knox. I doubt that they'd support Gear though if you did a ROM.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
1. TW GS4 can run GPe, but not the opposite.

2. GPe GS4 supports Gear, GPe isn't a 100% stock experience.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Oh cool! Now I'm actually quite likely to wait for the GPE if I get an S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
And GPe doesn't have Knox, of course. ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yep. No Knox and unlocked bootloader FTW :D

It will probably only be 16GB, though.
[Galaxy S 5 General] degast:
I'm buying TW LTE with snapdragon 801. I'm also buying Gear Fit (most likely, considering Gear 2), but that depends on whether Gear 2 has same functionality as Gear Fit (in terms of fitness coaching). If it does, I'm torn apart between Fit and 2, if it doesn't I'm just buying the Fit. I really like to have personal fitness coach thingies.
[Galaxy S 5 General] hung2900:
Android stock camera app sucks. That's all.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Definitely the touchwiz version, never been a fan of stock android on a phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah I haven't been much of a fan either. It looks nice and is fast, but it lacks features.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah I want a Gear Fit because they look pretty cool and also do notifications. Problem is, AT&T's $50 off when you get an S5 and Gear doesn't apply to the fit D:

I'm probably gonna end up waiting for the Moto 360 and X2 before I get a smartwatch.
[Galaxy S 5 General] degast:
I have been thinking about that too, because the Moto 360 and X2 might be really nice.

But I like the Gear Fit so much because it has that fitness coach thing.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
The fitness thing is no big deal for me TBH. I only like it because it's different and looks cool :P

Moto stuff has really caught my eye though, but my wrists are really small so the 360 would look huge.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
Dat curved AMOLED. lol :p
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Sooo nice right :P
[Galaxy S 5 General] degast:
I only hope the curved amoled + it being rectangular keeps up in the smartwatch world. I kind of want to see an Android Wear port for the Gear Fit.

Does anyone know the differences between Gear 2 and Gear Fit? (aside from hardware differences, those are obvious)
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Gear 2 runs Tizen, and Fit runs a Real-Time OS.

Gear 2 is less fitness oriented design wise, but has most (if not all) of the fitness functionality the Fit has.

Fit has no open SDK, hence no 3rd party app support (because of extremely limited hardware). Gear 2 has both. Developers can, however, make Android apps work with the Fit (just not run on them).

Gear 2 can make calls and respond to messages. Fit can only give you notifications.

Gear 2 has a camera and IR Blaster. Fit does not.

$300 Gear 2 ($50 off at AT&T with an S5), $200 Gear Fit (no available discounts).

I think that about sums it up!

Oh, and an Android Wear port most likely wouldn't work because of the insanely low specs on the Fit.

EDIT: Gear 2 has 2-3 days of battery life and the Fit has 4-5.

Neo is exactly the same as 2 except without a metal build or camera (but it has a light sensor that looks more like a camera than the actual camera on the Gear 2 :P).
[Galaxy S 5 General] degast:
Thanks, that's a great deal of info. If the Gear 2 has all the same functionality as the Gear Fit (when it comes to the fitness coach thing and stuff), I'll probably buy the Gear 2. If the Fit is unique, I might but that. But the way it looks right now, the extra functionality on the Gear 2 makes it look more attractive imo.

EDIT: you seem to be able to snooze alarms and revoke calls with the Gear Fit. Does that mean other stuff might be possible?
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah no problem! Advantages of the Fit are the curved screen, twice as long battery life, lighter weight, and cheaper price. That's about it (will edit my post with battery life info).

I doubt much else on the Fit is possible, as it isn't sending text or voice data to the phone and it's hardware is so limited. It may eventually have notification support for more apps though, but I don't think you can even read texts on it. As I said, devs can build Android apps to support the Fit for extra functionality. This may give the Fit a few more features.

Well I just got off the phone for a third time with AT&T. They acknowledged that even though I started a new billing cycle, and all the codes have been removed their network is still throttling my Note 3.

Apparently it is not an isolated incident and it had to be escalated with the others to upper management for them to fix/undo?

Any suggestion/experiences?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
No experience. Suggestion. If upper management knows about it, it'll get fixed. Heads may roll, but yours won't be one of them. You may be throttled for a while but once it's fixed, if they don't offer you anything to make up for it, a "don't I get any compensation for this?" call may get you something.

Best way to use TiBu?

I'm about to update from one Knoxraid KK rom to the latest, AT&T based Knoxraid rom.

After a complete wipe and rom install, what is really the best way for a TiBu restore? I backup "All user apps + system data". Conservatively, I usually restore "Missing apps with data". Can can I restore "missing apps plus all system data"?... or, Can I safely use the system data items that are green in TiBu?

Hey guys..

My phone is stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen" where it shows just the letters.

The last thing I remember doing was using taskiller and phone's memory killer to kill memory because it was slow... and when I tried to open up text messages, it wouldn't open.

So I restarted the phone and now it's stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S4" Screen.

( I also removed some apps days before.. but I had rebooted and phone it was working just fine).

- I haven't tried to reinstall a radio.. I woudn't know which one.

- I can access odin just fine by clicking the 3 keys.

- I Can't access TWRP Recovery. I held the 3 keys, and it shows the message on the left corner like it's going to go, but then just reboots and gets stuck on samsung screen.

Tried to reinstall it, but didn't seem to work I guess.. since it still shows the left corner message, but doesnt go to twrp.

If I can get into recovery mode, how should I push a custom rooted rom onto it? Or perhaps should I download an official firmware for the S4, and push it to install via the official way of using Odin + download mode? Can't seem to remember parts of it since the last time I dealt with Odin was 1 1/5 years ago on my S3.

PS. Is download mode the same like on the s3? Ie, power button + home + volume down
