I believe you have to be on a stock VS985 (but rooted, as noted) ROM in order to unlock bands. Non-stock and international stock-based don't count.

[XDA Assist] tomtomtiddleifo:
Quick question, although I suspect I know the answer....

Screen shot says it all, backed up my messages under KITKAT and now on last Jelly Bean and cant recover my messages....

Is there any way I can do this.... I have a spare xperia s which could maybe be utilised to help recover and/or backup in a more universal way than I did before.

Its not that I have a massive attachment to my messages except there are some phone numbers I could do with in the backup.....

Thanks in advance for any advice that can lead to recovery :)
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

If you let me know the device make and model I could point you to a place to post. But, no... Restoring a system app from any other Android version would likely not end well.
[XDA Assist] tomtomtiddleifo:
Device Model is C6903 on build number 14.1.G.1.534. The messages wold have been backed up on C6903_14.4.A.0.108 FW.

I don't understand the 'non-deodexed' term? Maybe this would help me understand why I cant restore the messages?

I wonder if i could install the C6903_14.4.A.0.108 (of firmware version to my Xperia s maybe I could restore the messages on that phone and then export in another way ...........

I have "restored a system app from a previous version' but the only problem is the lac of message restore, oh and by the way my dialer icon has dissapeared "app not installed' any ideas about this.........this is its distressing as I now have a phone that is NOT a 'phone' !!

Thanks again in advance for pointing me i a helpful direction:)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jennygirl:
I think they mean the per-app settings button rather than the main device settings app.

I too love the multitasking button. Long hold press on home button was making me die a little bit every time on the note 3. This is much better.

Now, if I could stop accidentally invoking multitasking thinking I am going to get an app settings menu to drop down! Doh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] johnus:
Well, long-pressing the multitask button works for me to get access to the overflow/menu....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jennygirl:
App specific options/settings menu? I dunno how else to explain it. Not all apps have them and the functionality is app-dependent. I.e. in chrome it pops up a menu with options like <- and -> and find in page etc. Now you have to long press the bottom left softkey to get to that instead of a single tap.

Main phone settings app you get to by tapping the gear button in the notification screen- which hasn't changed. Seems like that is what you were referring to. There has never been a softkey to get to that- that I know of

Overflow menu, yeah. Sorry didn't know what the heck to call that thing. Sorry for the confusion :P

Safestrap does not work

Hi, this is my first time ask for help. I have verizon samsung galaxy s4 and currently with hyperdrive 18.1 and safestrap 3.75. For some reason, I found my safesrtrap does not work. I touch the screen, nothing happened. I lock screen and swip to unlock, nothing happened. Feel like touch screen does not work. Could anybody help me? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliwigy:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdaadvocate:
Splash screen shows after apk removal of SS 3.75

I have read numerous threads and can not find a clearly define method for removing all traces of safe strap 3.75 if there is one kindly point me to it.

device VZW Note 3, running Kit kat, rooted via geohot towelroot method, Su pro version 1.99

1. I have removed SS by uninstalling recovery then uninstalling the app.

2. On initial start up no safe strap screen.

3. On reboots "custom "pad lock shows as if Safe Strap is still installed.

4.After Safe Strap apk removal SU binaries wont update either even after the 5 reboots attempts

I have seen the manual remove method for SafeStrap versions 3.62 and lower:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

mv /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh.bin /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh

rm -rf /system/etc/safestrap

rm /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt

ln -s /firmware/image/q6.mdt /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt

mount -o remount,ro /system

Can I do this manually for the 3.75 version of safe strap? I just want to remove all traces of safe strap (all splash screens ) and update SU binaries post its removal.

Thanks!

Backups being removed

I installed SafeStrap 3.75 on my s5 and it runs, and says it backs up properly to the sd card, but when I reboot back into Android, the backup file is no where to be found. The TWRP folder on the sdcard is empty. Does anyone know why the file would that it exists inside safestrap, but disappear after reboot?

I've got NCG installed, I've rooted, installed SuperSU, Installed the latest busybox and I've installed and run sdfix to fix the permissions on the SD Card, yet every backup I make is removed from the sd card.

It DOES backup successfully to the internal device storage, thoughts?

Verizon Galaxy S5 Safestrap and NI2 ROMS

Hello everyone,

First time poster, long time lurker.

I usually just lurk until I find the answers to my questions. I figured I can become an active member of the community now.

I have a rooted Galaxy S5 running on the NCG build. I want to install a custom ROM using Safestrap 3.75. Then I want to install Optimal ROM which is running on NI2. For which I believe I will have to install the NI2 firmware tar.

What exactly is the NI2 firmware tar (is this the kernal)? And if I install it, will it remove root (I'm logically assuming no but I need some confidence on the quesion)?

Much appreciated!

i have a verizon galaxy s5, model number sm-g900v, android version 4.4.4, baseband version ending in ank2, kernel version 3.4.0, build number ending in ank2. i have flashed back to baseband NCG via odin v3.09, rooted via towelroot, verified root via root check lite, flashed back to baseband version ending in ANK2 via odin v3.09, verified root via root check lite, installed superSU by chainfire, installed busybox by jrummy apps inc, installed titanium backup and performed backup.... so my question is, will the current safestrap for verizon gs5 work with my phone? the thing that kinda worries me is the link >> Safestrap-KLTEVZW-NCG-3.75-B03.apk<< shows "NCG". does this mean NCG and up or NCG only? if it means NCG only, where is the ANK2 safestrap? what are my options for a recovery?

That's what I have found myself that ss is a no go on 5.0 hopefully someone finds a work around, I can't boot into stock recovery
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muniz_ri:
The ss recovery will work on a 5.0 build by downgrading the kernel back to nk2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outpost785:
But can/can't run 5.0 on nk2 kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muniz_ri:
5.0 will not boot on the NK2 kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outpost785:
Ok what your saying is to downgrade to nk2 then when it starts at boot screen with safestrap( that I hope is still active)hit recovery at this point to work with safestrap right?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outpost785:
Then in safestrap boot off then upgrade to 5.0 kernel ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagrave:
Odin the nk2 kernel, boot to SS, flash what you need to, then boot directly to download mode from the option inside SS, the Odin the 5.0 kernel.

Installing Safestrap on newly rooted NI2

So I just went through tons of hassle to get my phone off 5.0 (new to rooting), and got it nicely rooted in NI2. Now I realize I need to get safestrap installed to get the rom I am looking at.

I couldnt find a clear answer on this, so figured I would ask.

How would I go about getting safestrap on a rooted NI2? Do I just use Odin3 with a NCG kernel, install safestrap, then load the NI2 kernel back?

Thanks in advance.

can't get safestrap boot screen(solved)

Please ignore this. I didn't realize you had to go into busybox to actually install it. Once that was done, safestrap is working properly. Sorry to take you time.

newly bought verizon S5. I've got it rooted with supersu and busybox installed. Currently got it sitting on the 4.4.4 NK2 rom using Odin. Now trying to get to 5.0. From everything I've read, I need to use safestrap now as that Odin won't work at this(or is that wrong?). Anyway, using safestrap, I've found 3 different version that people say to use. The one from this forum, KLTEV, does not work as the install recovery does not actually install. The G900V-3.75 version does the same, doesn't install. Another I found is JFLTE-3.72-kitkat.apk, this does install properly, but I do not get a new screen on reboot. I tried reinstalling as mentioned, but that doesn't help. Any advice here to why the 3.75 version isn't installing? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
If you previously tried to install it before busybox was installed, you need to completely uninstall it and try again. Also, after installing SuperSU, did you update the binaries and then reboot? This is the right safestrap. Follow the instructions below to remove the safestrap you have now.

1. Uninstall previous Safestrap recovery version using the Safestrap app "Uninstall Recovery" function.

2. Uninstall the previous Safestrap app from your app drawer.

3. Go into SuperSu settings and "forget" the previous Safestrap version's root privileges.

4. Place the new Safestrap.apk onto your sdcard or extsdcard.

5. Install the new Safestrap.apk.

6. Locate and open the new Safestrap app from your app drawer and press "Install Recovery."*Done!

I'll tell you when it doesn't charge fast, I plugged it into my S3 charger last night at 11% and it still wasn't at 100% when I woke up about 9 hours later. Yesterday I got 3 1/2 hours of screen time after starting at 70% when I actually got the phone around 5 pm.

Glad to hear you feel that way! Thank you for the glimmer of hope! I have a feeling you are very right, and that it could have also had a lot to do with the huge amount of downloading I was doing yesterday. Today should be a much more normal day of use. I'll check back in a bit.
