i535 4.4.2 flashable stock rom

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but where can i find the gs3 i535 4.4.2 stock rom that is flashable on safestrap/twrp? many thanks in advance.

2. Just wondering has anyone found a way to unlock the 4.4.2 bootloader yet? Doubt it but I thought I might ask.

3. Has anyone been able to make a custom rom that works besides the Superlite and PaulPizz roms? Again many thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimcyril:
Please where can I find the recovery for I-535PP NF5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
SCH-I535PP is a copy of SCH-I535 so it will work on yours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] legend221:
Just wanted to commend you for all your hard work and for making this for our long in the tooth, Samsung Galaxy S3's.

It amazing how much better these legacy devices are with safe straps and unlocked Bootloaders to enable ROM installation all thanks to the development on xda.

Not even my Verizon LG G4 has this possibility at this time and maybe never will.

Getting back to the S3, even though it's considered a backup phone, with your ROM safe strapped it is fully working and the best Rom I've tried so far for the device.

Just wanted to say that, thank you, thank you, thank you many times over. Keep up the amazing work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Whoa there, the S3s that run safestrap DO NOT have unlocked bootloaders

Sent from my Note 8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] legend221:
Of course it's either one or the other. Thank you for posting this for people that do not know the obvious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Well you did say unlocked bootloader. I've had to point it out many many times to people who assume things

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] legend221:
That's why they should read the OP and install instructions, multiple times. If they brick their phones its usually their own fault. Everyone that takes the decision to modify their device takes the risk, but in the end the extra time in understanding what to do before attempting is worth it in the end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Thank you too. I love my s3 with this locked bootloader.

I dont care to run cm or aosp ROMs, TW are more stable and battery friendly.

Maybe there will be new stuff in future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Yes I get that part. Many many people haven't read instructions or asked the same question multiple times in different threads and end up bricking there device because they assume they can attempt to unlock a bootloader locked device.

I've pointed out the instructions for installing safestrap at least a thousand times to various people. My point was I didn't want someone getting the idea of thinking a device running safestrap is bootloader unlocked

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
What level of Android is on the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Root your device via towelroot.com

Then install busybox and safestrap.

And you cant flash cm13

Only stock 4.4.2 roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanallaire:
can this recovery be flashed via odin? My old sgs3 is bricked..

No, If you softbricked your s3 flash odin stock rom.

Tried to root with towelroot and after apk is installed and I press make it rain it says device not supported. My device is Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 4.4.2 STOCK NE1.. TOWELROOTV2. any suggestions to get my phone rooted

UPDATE

Successfully rooted phone with Kingo Root. Then installed busybox and finally Safestrap. Have successfully created rom slot 1. Can I now install any custom rom or am I limited to locked bootloader roms.

ok successfully installed SUPERLIGHTROM in stock rom slot and will leave it at that. Many thanks to mohammad afaneh for his rom and his work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
There was a towelroot version 3. Locked bootloader roms only

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] helikvar:
OH ok thanks .I thought there must have been a newer version as towelroot was working for everyone else it seemed. I was in a bit of a rush so I just tried kingo root as it always seemed to work for me. Main thing is I finally got Verizon out of my s3. Just before this I got the infamous softbrick and Verizons famous message of how I tried to install unauthorized software on my phone . Pissed me off so bad but thanks to XDA and all the guys that do this stuff I am very pleased that my s3 is truly mine. In your face Verizon.:victory::victory:

Quick question. After installing Safestrap, can I install any of the awesome custom ROMs that appear in the forums here, or can I only install SUPERLIGHTROM? If I can only install that ROM, why is that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
You can install only stock 4.4.2 roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerethi:
Thank you. For my own edification, why is this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
You can only install stock roms because the bootloader is locked

One more question - If I'm installing SUPERLITEROM! do I need a separate GAPPS package? Or is that included?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
No there option in aroma installer for lite or full rom.

Gapps can be installed and updated via play store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
What about this to be the official safestrap theme
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerethi:
Thanks for your continued assistance. I have just one more question. I went ahead and installed this, and for some reason I can't get wifi to turn on. Do you know what the problem might be?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroGame78:
newbie question

Hi,

I have a verizon galaxy s3 with stock rom running android 4.4.2. And I read on here that even if I install safestrap, i still would not be able to install custom roms after that because the bootloader is locked on my phone. Could someone please enlighten me as to what is the point of installing safestrap if you can't install custom roms? Would appreciate a somewhat watered down version of any info or details you provide me as I'm a noob. Thank you :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
You can install a locked bootloader 442 that has been cleaned of cruft. Read more in the superlite thread. Also you can make backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroGame78:
I see! Thanks a lot for the response. Do you happen to know if safestrap would in any way allow me to overclock my CPU? That's really all I am after. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I have VZW S5 and I did my own build (not released and won't). Btw I dont need safestrap if Im unlocked!

Go to the vzw s5 development section you can find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
[MENTION=4770483]mohammad.afaneh[/MENTION] just curious why being in a country where they sell unlocked phones are Verizon devices so popular? I've been meaning to ask you that for awhile now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
For the people in USA they choose the best carrier and best device (VZW) which is cdma!

Out side USA, its sim unlocked and for me I prefer qcomm chip over exynos and lower price and I choose vzw cuz simply its the best.

I have s3, s4 ,s5 all vzw s4 is worst, s3 has safestrap, s5 i unlocked, I will skip s6 (not rootable) and got vzw s7/s7e (rootable)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimcyril:
I believe the VZW S5 on Lollipop is upgradable to Marshmellow, will root access be saved & restored if I use the Flashfire app to install/update the VZW S5 from Lollipop to Marshmellow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes. I think you are not unlocked and have the 11 cid?

This thread is for s3. Go to the s5 section and you will got your answer faster, or just pm me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimcyril:
I m not unlocked & what's 11 cid?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Download "eMMC check" from playstore then check if your cid start with 15 then go here and just unlock it

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909

Otherwise you are starting with 11 then you will stuck with safestrap and flashfire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimcyril:
Thanks bro I really appreciate ur help & guidance, no one in the S5 thread was ready to provide information the way u did, but which android version of S5(Lollipop) should be safe to root with towelroot & proceed with all these step?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I will soon, just let me get to PC and at least test it or you will lead to bootloop.

Btw Im working on a rom 6.0.1 based for s5 but progress will be slow as turtle. Im sick of development those days and its cold here, so maybe a lil customized rom will be there in next week, I hope.

Is there a safestrap version, or another recovery, that works with newer versions of android after KK, and that also lets you install to a separate rom slot other than the stock slot?

I want to try installing some newer roms on my galaxy s3 (i535) but i don't want to wipe out my stock rom.

No you cant flash any android verson than kitkat.

But you still can flash on another slot (non stock), read the first post carefuly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
I uninstalled from safestrap, then uninstalled SS, reinstalled, rebooted manually to system and recovery and i cannot get it running

Could it be because i have twrp 2.7.0.0 as my stock recovery?

Other than that ive tried installing and reinstalling 3 times
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Are you unlocked bootloader! not sure if Safestrap work on unlocked bootloader.

Is there any xposed framwork installed on your device?

Did you tryed to press install twice from safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
i dont know how to check if im locked or unlocked but id guess unlocked.

i do have a lot of exposed frameworks installed

i did press it twice when i didnt get the installed status, after pressing the 2nd time i got the installed status.

what should i do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
In the OP there is a spoiler for upgrading safestrap...will this work on ML1? Or is this just for NE1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
safestrap doesnt work on unlocked bootloader.

and not work if xposed already installed.

ML1 has its own thread look at dev thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
i can remove xposed no problem but how to i lock the bootloader?

will i still have mobile hotspot hack if i lock it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Lock bootloader means no cm custom roms no custom kernel and no custom recovery.

You will stuck on stock 4.4.2 tw only and forever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
Yeah, I have safestrap installed and been running it since it came out. I was just wandering since it said upgrade....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
i dont mind being stuck on 4.4.2 since the s3 will never get another update past this one anyway.

do i have to use odin to get back to stock recovery?

where can i get the stock recovery file of 4.4.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
You need to flash full stock 4.4.2 find it in general section and remember no back to cyanogen mod or twrp recovery and no back to 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
k i found it.

So i just need to flash it in twrp as normal and i lose the recovery, kernel and rom correct?

Will i still have root access with supersu or do i need to get towelroot?

And once i get safestrap and superliterom will i have free mobile hotspot (crucial for business)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Flash the tar file via odin.

then root by towelroot and install safestrap.

superliterom has free tether.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
Having an issue. Not sure if it is Superlite ROM or unofficial safestrap. If I plug the USB cable into the USB port on the PC, the phone reboots after a few seconds and goes into a bootloop. Goes as far as the safestrap splash screen (recovery or continue) then the phone vibrates and reboots. If I disconnect from the PC, it boots normally. On the wall charger its fine as well. USB cable is brand new Samsung cable. I have wiped the phone, loaded NE1 with Odin, load unofficial safestrap, create ROM slot and install superliterom. Have re-downloaded unofficial safestrap and superliterom. Doesn't do it when booted to stock ROM, with or without safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Safestrap issue, as its fine with stock rom. only happen with slot roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] swc2001:
Ok guys I am in a pickle. I have my friends SIII and it is on 4.4.2. I rooted it with geohots Towel root. I then put on safestrap 3.71 and installed it. It does weird things and I can't uninstall it. the app force closes. I tried installing this unofficial one and it force closes now..... how can I get 3.7.1 off so I can put this unofficial one on and actually install it. thank you so much in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Get any root explorer then go to /system/etc and delete sfaestrap folder.

Uninstall any safestrap installed then reinstall unofficial one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] swc2001:
Ok I tried this and it did let us back into the app. In the SS app we uninstalled the recovery. Now we uninstalled the app and then installed the Unofficial one. We went into the unofficial app and installed the SS version 3.75. However it did not install.... we never could get it to go. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Did you installed busybox! If yes open busybox and install it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ned4spd8874:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
If you need to return to Verizon, just Odin stock rom - done

If you just want to uninstall safestrap - using the safestrap app and select "uninstall recovery", then uninstall the apk after that. Remember do not remove root before you uninstalled safestrap.

Hi guys, noob here wondering if this will work for us cellular, given that it's basically the same as the verizon model. Any thoughts?

I think both d2vzw and d2usc are the same. Yes it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markg37:
Thanks! I'm hoping to flash a us cellular s3 to pageplus, and I just want to back things up before I try it. Is this safestrap recovery what you'd recommend for such a thing or is there a simpler route?

Also, do you happen to know if the superlight ROM would also work for d2usc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes you can backup your system and data.

Superlite will work but you need wifi modules . You can pull it from system/lib/modules by any root explorer upload it and i will make it flashable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanallaire:
Installed latest SS and went into recovery and it says version 3.71, I thought it was supposed to be 3.75? This won't cause any issues will it??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Forgot to change it after the patch.

its ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Flagmax:
I've been reading that WiFi will not work on Safestraped Kitkat due to no modules available. Did you get it to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
d2vzw and d2usc have different kernels and modules so if you need a working wifi with safestrap you need to get modules from system/lib/modules from youer original kitkat rom the d2usc one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] graphdarnell:
In creating a rom-slot, is it possible to readjust its size from inside SS? If the custom lite rom is only ~600MB, an allocation of 1500K seems an awful waste of storage. I could see the "+" and "-" signs except touching those did nothing.

Also, is there a reason why the rom drains battery so much? Close to 50% for half a day looks excessive compared to unmodified stock rom. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I cant readjust its size since I cant compile twrp recovery maybe in future I will. but not recommended to decrese it.

make clean flash wipe data/cashe after install. if still the same flash on stock slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] graphdarnell:
Thanks for the reply. So we don't know what causes the battery drain? Or is it that the calibration is out of whack and would take a couple of charges to self-correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Go to settings/battery and see what apps or serveices causes drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
