Help to Uninstall SafeStrap v3.65 - Samsung S4 Active

Our young son jumped way out of his league, and installed SafeStrap 3.65 on his new Samsung S4 Active. We need to Uninstall it.

Can someone please help us with uninstall directions? (We're lost in the various directions on the thread.) THANKS!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
All you have to do is open the Safestrap app and tap the "Uninstall Recovery" button.

Oh, I admit he jumped out of my league. He's gonna be a brilliant developer, I'm sure. But he's got exams in two days & hasn't done any (boring) school work in a month. It's no fun squelching his brilliance.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I can't find the "Uninstall Recovery" button. When I turn on the phone, the "SafeStrap: Disabled" screen comes on. It has 2 buttons: One says "Continue" , the other button says "Recovery". If I press "Recover" it brings up the screen in the attached photo. If I press through all the options possible, I don't find an "Uninstall Recovery" button. ???

If I press "Continue" instead, and then go to Samsung's Application Manager, the only application listed is "Samsung Applications". There's no SafeStrap application listed there.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
You need to install the APK.

Just to let you know, this is the Kindle Fire HDX forum. Safestrap isn't a universal solution, rather each device has its own specific version.

Problems with safetrap by booting ROM-1 (Stock ROM works)

Problems with safetrap.

Everything looks fine at my Kindle (thor) with safetrap, except, when I have restored a backup (from stock) to rom-1 and reboot my kindle fire System REcovery says, that it cannot boot. I shall reset to factory setting.

But when I go directly at bootscreen to safetrap back and aktivate the stock rom for booting, it seems to boot without problems.

How can I solve this? Before flashing a new rom I will have a backup that works.

Edit: Seems the problem is: When safetrap is enabled at booting: I have the Problems,

When safetrap is disabled (boot from stock rom): I can directly boot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Heija:
Solved the problem: I think you need 13.3.2.4 or 13.3.2.5, then safetrap works fine. Have also running new rom,

thanks.

Hi. I have the 16gig version, and when left it stock I had 10gigs left, after safestrap and putting the Nexus on it, I show only 2.44 gigs. I'm wondering how big the romslot partitions are and if they can be changed. I'm assuming that's some of the problem.

Need help rooting (& installing SafeStrap) on my Fire HDX 7"

I can't figure out how to root this thing (so that I can next install SafeStrap) and it is driving me crazy. I have looked through many threads and have tried many Google searches about how to supposedly root this device but have come up empty. I don't understand what Hashcode means when he says:

"To root, I recommend flashing SuperSU.zip from here and flash in Safestrap to the active rom-slot after flashing the ROM:"

I tried installing the file with the following command:

adb install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

But it keeps giving me the following error message:

file 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml

rm failed for /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, No such file or directory

Please help.

I am also wondering how to downgrade to an earlier version of the stock ROM. The device I am using is running Fire OS 4.5.3
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Safestrap does not run on 4.5.3 or any version above 3.2.8.

You can't root 4.5.3 directly. You have to rollback to 3.2.8, upgrade to 4.5.2 then disable OTA (over the air updates) so Amazon doesn't push you to back up to 4.5.3 or beyond. Basic instructions here but I suggest you skim the entire thread before doing anything. Also see this if you are thinking about installing other roms and this thread if considering installing gaps on 4.5.2.

Looking for help rooting 3.2.8

Hey guys, I managed to downgrade my HDX Thor to 3.2.8 from 4.5.3 and upgraded back to 4.5.2. I rooted it and that was successfully I'm having the black screen issue after installing safestrap, namely the screen flickers a little but doesn't do anything and needs a hard reset. Booting back into fire os is fine.

So I decided to downgrade back to 3.2.8 to try installing safestrap again but can't gain root access. Any clues on rooting 3.2.8? I searched but couldn't find anything for 3.2.8 specifically, only lower or at 4.5.2.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Safestrap does not work with 4.x.x. See previous post. Lucky you did not brick your device.

updated source for Safestrap-thor?

I have been trying for two days, on three devices to download: "Safestrap-Thor-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk" from goo.im... however everytime the page loads and i get the download button, I get an error "invaildcust" message.

I have spent a good amount of time searching for alternative sources, but unforturnity been unable to locate one... I have rolled back from 4.5.3 (which was rooted, but I want a diff rom, so didnt help me much). So that I could install a different rom... I would even be happy with roll-back or upgrade to a differnt version...

In the end I want to replace fireos, the goal was to go with Ubuntu Touch... but the more I mess with this the more it seems like my Kindle isnt the right version (only seem to be otter and otter2 ports).

Sooooo if anyone could direct me on to where I can download/obtain SafeStrap, that would be a great help. Thanks

Hey, I know it's been forever, but I just wanted to thank you for this advice. I have been meaning to thank you for a while but I just didn't get around to it until now. I did get the device rooted, installed Safestrap, and modded it with Cyanogen (although I can't remember which version) all thanks to what you told me. It was for one of my customers, so it was really important advice and I'm extremely grateful :highfive:

Cool - glad it worked out. A lot has happened in 3 months including the ability to run Nexus v4 or CM11 in Safestrap on FireOS 4.5.2. No rollback needed!

[Moto X Q&A] hugh a:
what is the difference between the xt1050 and the xt 1060, i see on ebay theres a listing for motherboards rot $29 model # xt1050 listed as a generic cdma model, phonearena has no listing on the xt1050, did google search and found link that suggest its not compatible in the us. it it possible to install the xt1050 board in device for sell in the us as a cdma device?
[Moto X Q&A] lmalinofsky@gmail.com:
Don't bet on it!
[Moto X Q&A] x000x:
I can partially answer that. the xt1050 is a device sold by 'regional carriers'. for example, I have an xt1050 but which was sold by alltel. there are other xt1050 models sold by Inland Cellular, Illinois Valley Cellular etc. Basically the xt1050 was the model sold by very small cellular companies. I can't vouch for other models besides the one i have but my alltel xt1050 was able to be unlocked officially via moto website. I was also able to install twrp on it.

But it gets more complex. There are apparently different firmware versions for each different xt1050 model. see this page here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/94927/p/30,6720,8696 (under ACG Regional Carriers). Now what, if anything, is different between the different firmware numbers... I've no idea.

Finally, according to this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56803257&postcount=60 the xt1050 actually shares the same fcc number as the xt1060. This is pretty much all the info I've gathered.
[Moto X Q&A] stevedat:
1060

So what does it exactly meaan?

I am using v 1060 verizon outside the US.

Working well, haven't rooted yet and been waiting for Android L.
[Moto X Q&A] snejkatamie007:
Can someone, say whether xt1060 is easier to root and cheaper than the former?

The 1050 is an AT&T, with 1060 being Verizon, which is more likely to cause less problemsin EU over the course of its use?
[Moto X Q&A] stevedat:
I have found that XT1060 means Verizon carrier - read it from a thread on somewhere of the 4rum.

I am owning that one using out of the US and everyting works fine for me now.

Rooting is just like playing around with the Rom there is nothing else.

A custom rom lacks Moto features, such as: active display, spotty, etc - a big díappointment!

Android L is pretty good with material design, but that is the only thing.
[Moto X Q&A] snejkatamie007:
I am finding it hard to believe that Verizon phones are working worries free outwith the US with European. if I recall correctly Europe being Gsm network where Verizon phones are the other one. I really don't know, I will be going for AT&T over Verizon despite it's lack of customizability. Very disappointing ****!
[Moto X Q&A] stevedat:
I got this vrz moto x 2013 by exchanging with my sony phone. I am an asian buddy. In the back of my phone there is a logo with Verizon carrier.

I am running 4.4.4 and being happy with it. Moto's features are cool stuffs.

[emoji4]
[Moto X Q&A] snejkatamie007:
What country are you living in? thanks
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
All Verizon LTE phones come SIM unlocked, meaning that they work fine on GSM carriers. The only problem that might show up is that LTE bands will likely not match, meaning the device is limited to HSPA+.

As for which is easier to root, the Verizon one will not be easy to root unless it's a developer edition. The XT1050 might be easily rootable, but there may be trouble using it on GSM carriers. It is not the ATT version of the X, rather it is the version used for smaller regional US carriers. The ATT version of the X is the XT1058 (also the version number for the Rogers Canada model). If I remember right, there are a few threads of people having problems SIM unlocking the XT1050 to use with carriers other than US Cellular (but you might need to search that info out).
[Moto X Q&A] snejkatamie007:
Yes, I am referring to x1058, respectivelly At&T, I have no knowledge over a 1060, as the supplier only does 1058 and the Verizon one. With that being said, and by you marking Verizon bootloader unlockable, I guess I have no choice but to go with the AT&T and get a sunrise right after. ****e!

ps/ The dealer does infact says the Verizon one comes sim unlocked, but still the lack of customizability renders it rather unattractive in my mind!
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
Sorry if I wasn't clear. The XT1060 is the Verizon Moto X model number, the XT1050 is not. I believe the XT1050, which is used for regional carriers, has CDMA capabilities like the Verizon model (again, the XT1060). If it's still on 4.4.2, the Verizon model can be unlocked via Sunshine as well, but your best bet for compatibility is the AT&T 1058, since it has the widest range of LTE bands. Good luck!
[Moto X Q&A] snejkatamie007:
Yes , that's in line with what I was thinking of. I will go with the at&t and hope for the best!
