Yeah sure it will,, But your know sometimes it's some odd little thing, and I did not register that you power cycled although I would think so but again I missed the post saying it, so I just threw an idea out there for everybody who encountered this in various ways.

Anyway.. I'm glad to hear everything is working again. :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkien:

Does it mean I can flash kk based rom on one of the slots? If so, does it has to be TW based like the last version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes kitkat tw only, and you can backup stock system and data and restore in slot rom.

I had my own custom tw rom but cant uploud 1 giga file :(

Wifi should ok without modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroyinc:
So where i can find ROMs for this safestrap, pls help im noob)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
No ROMs yet, you can ask dev of custom rom to build kitkat ROMs.

Iam building one, noy yet ready but will take so much time to uploud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroyinc:
Pls call when some ROMs appear, thx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I will add links if some one update his custom rom.

you can backup stock rom and restore in slot rom and modify and debloat it as you want.

On my stock rom didnt work sms, could i do smth with this, can i load new radio or can u suggest me what to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I dont have idea but flash full stock kitkat and wipe data may solve the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroyinc:
Okay, thx)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroyinc:
Btw, will u give me instruction how to install ROM when it appear ?

And this ROM may have a basis like CM11 or it can be just KK ?

Thx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Kitkat TW based rom only.

just creat a rom slot from boot menu in recovery, activate it, then flash the rom, reboot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroyinc:
will try.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

and can i add old radio which i need to work i-net and sms in that ROM ?

P.s sorry for my noob questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulPizz:
so has anybody been able to create a rom with dsixda's Android Kitchen and successfully been able to run the rom with this version of safstrap? I have deodexed a stock rom VRUDNE1 and tried flashing it and i get a successful flash but on boot up once it gets to the red verizon screen it just stays there. ive let it sit for over 30 mins and no luck. ive tried everything i can think of including rebuilding the rom....???? and i doing something wrong here?? Has anyone else had any luck?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
Kit Kat touchwiz ROMs only. There are Kit Kat AOSP ROMs in the original development section. Noobs need to know they can't flash those through safestrap, only touchwiz ROMs

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroyinc:
what means ``flash`` ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Use archikitchen I had built one and it booted.

Clone archikitchen repo for last changes.

You need ubuntu or virtual on windows.

deodexe first test to know if its boot.

Then add root, bbx, and debloat with archi only. You can remove apk manualy.

Dont include the boot.img! Not neccessary

build with bbe command.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Sorry for mismatch I forgot the two letters.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
Tried flashing the NE1 kernel modules to see if I could get radios working but to no avail
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes, yes, no.

I can make call and radio is working.

WIFI is not working we need compatable kernel (Impossible for now) or we need cm rom with stock 4.4.2 wifi driver!

radio is working see the pic I posted earlier.

can you tell what you did and which cm or slimkat build you flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
I uninstalled b02 within apk. Uninstalled apk. Downloaded b03 and installed. Downloaded slimkat 7.0 4.4.4 for d2lte from slimroms.net. Rebooted to recovery, created Rom slot. Installed slimkat. Rebooted. No radios.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
I downloaded the wrong cm nightly build. Downloading 1-18 build now. Will update you on results.

Edit: Downloaded 1-11 build of cm nightly and installed in a Rom slot. Everything appeared to function except for Wi-Fi. But couldn't make calls or text even though I could connect to mobile internet. Texts wouldn't send. Calls wouldn't connect. So close but yet so far away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Does CM12 work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
Doubt it. Different kernel configuration.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
Guys b very careful with this. Do an EFS/IMEI backup! I lost my efs doing this and once u lose it...game over. So....I now have an s4. Not the route I wanted to take but I actually like it. Was trying to get away from Samsung/Verizon/Touchwiz ..but...ive got another two years to think about what I've done lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
I've nuked my IMEI and critical EFS items countless times over the years with this phone

It always comes back somehow, even when I haven't backed up or flashed back to stock

Maybe I'm just lucky

You should always have it backed up though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
I actually got it back working. I downloaded the stock md5 and Odin flashed it and it appeared to be just fine. I was really just trying to unroot and get it back to out-of-the-box condition. But oh well. At least I know how to fix it and operate safestrap as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I think this problem happen on qcomm board only.

many time I got baseband lost when flash rom on stock or slot. But it back again after many reboots.

Didnt got what cause this problem, but I noticed that some files created at boot with different time 1970 , 2012 , 2014 and 2015.

We can notice that on recovery too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Luminair:
Well, this is a pretty surprising development. Am I understanding right that there is a possibility of creating some sort of bastardized hybrid version of Slimkat? I'm oversimplifying, but if it would just require the correct radio and wifi support, that sounds like it'd be pretty functional.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
What if we build the rom from source with stock kitkat kernel and stock drivers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Luminair:
Even better! Having a true ASOP or CM look-and-feel on a locked BL 4.4.2 S3 would be pretty impressive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
I think that's ur best bet to make this work. It's worth a shot. What do u got to lose?....EFS maybe? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] merman54:
Can't see whole TWRP screen?

I have SafeStrap 3.75 loaded, but when I get into recovery about 1/3 of the right side of the screen and the bottom of the screen are cut off because the display cannot fit on the screen size.

Any ideas?? I cannot even nandroid backup because I cannot see all the buttons and if it locks in recovery, I cannot unlock it because I cannot see the whole screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
When u reboot your phone is the safestrap splash screen shifted as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Be sure you downloaded the file from the link on the first page of this thread.

Dont use other device safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] merman54:
I did not notice if it was or not, I will look.

I think I did, but will uninstall and reinstall from the link to make sure.

I don't have it on me. This is my Mom's phone, so I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Unofficial-Safestrap-D2VZW-3.75-B04 is up

-Added omni rom support.

-Fixed internal sdcard mount issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnsparkk:
Would running omni rom have working wi-fi, calling, radios, etc.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Same as cm and slimkat. Our problem is kernel!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corkyt:
Thanks for the detailed explanation of how to deal with my gimpy 4.4 versioned S3!

I followed the instructions and have successfully gotten a ROM slot with SUPERLITEROM to boot using Safestrap on my 4.4 device. This method is killing my battery though.

Can I now go ahead and load SUPERLITEROM on the original stock slot? Or is that a no-no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhssal:
I wanted to go back to stock. I odined back to stock a couple of times and I'm on stock KK but I'm not able to get to recovery. When I tired to three-button trick, it just rebooted. Phone is working fine. I'm scratching my head... What am I missing? I want to have a stock recovery...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Do a system and data backup and yes you can.

You are trying to got safestrap recovery or stock?

If stock 3 button combo.

If safestrap make sure you Installed busybox!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhssal:
I'm trying to got stock.. I uninstalled safestrap and odined back to stock KK. But not able to get stock recovery...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazy_smokezalot:
I'm sorry but what do you mean by that. I know I should search lol but just wanna know quick before I flash slimkat on my lil bro s3 with safestrap thanks to you and hash. He will be missed. Hope he pops up here and there....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
It means Wi-Fi, calling, texting, etc. WILL NOT WORK. The kernel that AOSP uses doesn't work for replacing 4.3+ TW kernels due to a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazy_smokezalot:
So I flashed it and went back to stock but no singnal now no data or cell service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
You did the same thing I did about a month/30 posts back. There's only one fix that I found...Odin flash the stock firmware package. I downloaded the official .tar from Sammobile, (but u have to register an account with them, but it's free). I used Odin v3.07 and flashed it in the PDA slot. Phone booted and I had signal, but after I had already went to Verizon for a fix, and got an s4. I found this fix trying to get it back to factory default condition, since I had to send it back. So...I haven't actually tested it but it's the only thing that gave me 4G/signal bars when nothing else I tried did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corkyt:
Okay, so I flashed stock with SUPERLITEROM, saw no errors, and rebooted. On boot up I got a message saying:

Android is upgrading....

Optimizing app X of 179

Once that was completed by ORIGINAL ROM was loaded, not the SUPERLITEROM that I flashed.

Did I do something wrong? Are we sure its possible to flash the stock? I've tried it twice...

EDIT: Nevermind, I did a factory reset first and I was able to flash stock successfully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FoxyDrew:
I'm extremely lost right now, so forgive my probably already answered question. But the second post states that only SUPERLITEROM, and PaulPizz ROM work with this safestrap. But in the post I'm quoting now, and in the changelog you claim to have CM11, SlimKat, and OmniROM support.

So please tell me using the Safestrap B04 recovery (which i currently have installed) what ROM's can I flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bivvz:
It only has limited support for anything other than SUPERLITEROM and PaulPizz. Last I checked CM and slimkat had a problem with radios not being active after flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
As said above these 2 roms are fully functional.

and aosp roms are suppoerted to boot correctly and not plan to fix them for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corkyt:
Hey Mohammad,

Any ideas on my issue? I still cannot sent picture MMS messages (though I can receive them).

I tried SRL 1.0, 2.0, and my original stock apns-conf.xml files and none of them work...kinda stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
You can set them manualy just compare between another vzw devic..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nightevo89:
Is development at a stand still on this recovery? Also has anybody developed any roms for this recovery beside superlite rom and Paul pizz?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nightevo89:
Will we ever get the Camera and wifi to work on cm11, slimkat and omni rom using this recovery? Thanks mohammad.afaneh for the recovery support...ive been following this thread Well before i became a member and its awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Wifi and camera needs hacked libs and kexec module that we dont have right now.

Maybe someone can compile hacked rom for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trixi3:
Do you need to do some extra steps to flash cm11?

I wiped and then flashed cm11 but I got a bootloop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Even with safestrap you CANNOT flash any custom roms other than bootloader locked roms, doing so will end up in a boot loop or a brick

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbsmith_05:
When I installed Safestrap - it installed fine...but when rebooting it just booted like normal. If I hit the reboot to recovery button in the safestrap app, I got a big Samsung logo with a padlock image and below that saying Custom. Then that went black and booted normally too.

I'm rooted with towelroot and have xposed installed - that wouldn't have anything to do with this would it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bivvz:
Did you actually hit install safestrap inside the app or did you only install the app and call it a day?

Make sure you installed busybox!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
Thank you, Mohammad.

I have root and busybox, now I also have a good recovery!

My phone is currently without sd card and limited internal space. For now I have a backup made. Soon (with new sd) I will try your superlite rom on stock slot.

I can't create new slots due to limited space, but I imagine once I can do it the option and/or method to install the backup to slot1 will be obvious.

Is there some way to name a backup during creation? I didn't see anything.

Many thanks again!

Unofficial-Safestrap-D2VZW-3.75-B05 is up

I dont know about the rename maybe in new TWRP 2.8.X.0 that we dont have yet

What's up with the temporary fix for aroma installer? I thought aroma installer wouldn't work with safestrap? :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I had removed all qcom files from recovery to get it work.

I was going to debug this later but I bricked my device yesterday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nightevo89:
That's not good...I have a Verizon s3 I Can donate....also what roms can we use that has aroma already installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o8o.o0880o.o8o:
So this is probably stupid but is there any way we could super size an extra Rom slot, add an older factory image on it with a nicer bootloader and kernel, then partition off the primary or format it? Just a thought but this is the best news I've heard so far with cracking the case lol. I'll definitely be taking a crack at it when I get some time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
there some rom in other variant (eg: at&t ,spr and tmo) threads has aroma installer.

these rom need som modification to work as well.

If you interested I can help you with flashable zip to make it compatable

no way.

Alright so I just tried to put carbon rom on the new rom slot I made and it very sluggishly booted my stock rom. Any ideas I'm 3.75 B05?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
Is Carbon ROM a 4.4.2 locked bootloader ROM? I only know of two such ROMs. If your S3 has the OTA Samsung update to 4.4.2, you can only use locked bootloader 4.4.2 ROMs.

(there is some experimental work being done on different ROMs, but at this time nothing of that sort has much function beyond booting up)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I was going to chime in prior to your comment. Carbon may of been available on the 4.3 locked bootloader but certainly not 4.4.2

also flash this modules after rom installation and edit build.prop to match vzw

If ril not working (it was working for me) push libril.so and libsec-ril.so from superliterom to system/lib and set to rw-r--r--

thats all.
