No you don't need it but I keep it anyways.

If you follow the directions exactly there won't be any problems.

To get into ss after using the NI2 flasher there is a button to reboot and it will reboot straight into ss.

Some roms hinder that though so if the button doesn't work just hit the power button and select reboot.

Ss always shows a splash screen in order to get into it on every power up or reboot.

You just can't get into it if you are running a lollipop kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] killa408shark:
Question I rooted my wife's phone couple days ago I was gonna flash the latest update OG5 so I used the NI2 apk booted to SS and made a backup of the current rom she had and when I flashed the kernel I got this error. What options do I have or what can I do? Flash the NCG tar and reroot or is there other way to make it boot again. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klabit87:
That's the first I've seen it.

Try starting over and see how that goes.

So far I've had 11 downloads of that kernel flashable and no issues.

If you continue to have problems I will make the Odin flashables and see if that helps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
I didn't encounter this. Did you check the MD5 to verify the download wasn't corrupt? If a corrupt kernel was flashed instead of the official boot.img it would definitely do this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
Won't flash into Safestrap

I went to try and use this again today to try and switch kernels. The NI2 Flasher will not flash into Safestrap, just reboots. I don't know what to do.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
Do you still have root? Try reinstalling Safe Strap?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
NI2 Flasher won't work

Yes I still have root. How do I do that if I can't access Safestrap with the flasher
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
Run the apk again and press the installed SS icon just like you did first time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
I tried that and still didn't work.

In the background I see it days dd output and there is the tap to reboot in front of that. Driving me crazy
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
Can you manually flash the NI2 kernel through Odin? That way you can determine whether or not it's the NI2 application at fault, or if it's something else.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
When I try to, I don't even see it in the list when I click AP, but in the folder I can see it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
I'm pretty sure you have the wrong file. This is my Odin window. Here's the NI2 kernel if you need it, unzip it, and the file inside should be seen by Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
I had been using it without a problem and then the last time I went to use the apk. it didn't work. Strange
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
Apk? We're talking about two different things. What my suggestion is, if you can get into Safestrap by manually flashing the NI2 through odin, then it's a problem with the NI2 apk. If you can't get into Safestrap by manually flashing, then it's a problem with the Safestrap installation.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klabit87:
I think I'm confused on your problem....

Are you saying that using the NI2flasher no longer works for you?

When using the NI2flasher you see the button to tap to reboot. sometimes it reboots but more often nowdays it will not reboot.

Just use your power menu and select reboot from there. (Not hot reboot)

Should bring you to SS.

Maybe there is something I'm missing?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
Yeah I'm not sure what he's doing/saying either.

I'm not sure about you, but I've never had NI2flasher not reboot for me. I've been using it since it came out, up until I changed to jrkruse's Safestrap package (which I believe he just put NI2 flasher together with safestrap), but rebooting from his works just fine as well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klabit87:
Thanks for the confirmation.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
I used the file you sent me and I now have access to safestrap. I guess I am going to have to redownload the flasher. I wonder what happened to it. I cannot thank you enough. You are a life saver. I greatly appreciate you helping me out.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

The last time I used NI2 Flasher instead of booting me into Safestrap, it just did a normal reboot of my phone, no access to Safestrap. Looks like it was the file. When I used Odin with the MD5 tar file, it sent into Safestrap no problems. I was able to do what I wanted and then used the flashable OE1 kernel to go back to Lollipop without a hitch. I just deleted the Flasher apk and redownloaded it. I am going to try using that again to see if it works without Odin now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
I'm going to assume that the NI2 flasher probably does not have superuser permissions, so it doesn't flash the file, but it allows you to reboot the phone. I would consider manually checking to see if it has superuser permissions.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
NO biggie. I used Odin to flash NI2 and went right into Safestrap and was able to flash back to Lollipop without issue using the OE1 Safestrap flashable kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] paulsg63:
I am curious about how there is an option for OE1.. I read that OE1 cant be rooted. So how can there be an option to add safestrap?

Confused...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Badger50:
Stock OTA OE1 can not be rooted. However, some of the devs have built Roms that have the OE1 modem, firmware, and kernel, but retained the OD5 bootloader. Which can be downgraded and rooted. Thus being able to add SS to them.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomcat2737:
Just an update. I figured out why NI2 FLasher wasn't working. I had background processes shutoff in developer options. LOL

Working perfectly. Figures I screwed something up. LOL
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klabit87:
Thanks for the info.

If somebody else has the same problem they will know what to check for.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] yota14:
So I am having same issue other guy did. I can flash via odin. So I know it is not my safestrap apk. I checked my background process and it was fine so that isn't it.

Have root, safe strap and ni2 flasher installed, just reboots normally then when I unlock my screen I see a screen flash like something messed up...it seems it's not even flashing the kernel. So must be bad apks out there.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Chopstix9:
This is one handy little MOFO !! Makes it a snap to bounce back into SS for backups and whatnot. Then just re-flashing the kernel for the ROM you're running upon exit, it's a cinch !!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] DGenerateKane:
Really dumb question here I'm sure. Do I have to use the flasher every time I want to access safestrap? I've never seen the option to go to recovery during a boot, which suggests I have to. Or something is buggered.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klabit87:
Yes you have to.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] iakovl:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klabit87:
Sorry I was referencing a different device.

I am not sure if it will work with your bootloader or not.

I do not have the s5 to test it either.

[LG Watch Urbane] x51:
So I was thinking about getting a metal band for my urbane... But the continuous bands make the charging cradle a little less than Ideal. I thought, If there was only an elevated stand for the watch. So... I've got this giant junk bin where I save all sorts of spare parts from around the house. I took a shot and whipped up a pretty cool stand in about 15 minutes (+ 45 mins paint dry time) IT came out pretty good and displays the watch nicely while charging (For reading the time on the nightstand at night).

I thought I'd share so some of you do-it-yourselfers might be inspired.

I used a brass piece from an old screen door handle as the base, An antique copper looking drawer handle for the elevated arm, a $15 replacement charging cradle I had from Amazon, Black spray paint, and some heavy duty double sided tape to hold the charger to the stand. (I wanted to be able to take it apart if it didn't work well, but I may switch to Gorilla Glue). I only used these things, because it's the best stuff I had in the bin of spare parts for this purpose. :D:D

[Asus Transformer TF700] DELS71:
Hello All,

This is my first post to the Forum. With that said I have been a long time follower of many of you. You have helped me learn a great deal and I have since unlocked, and flashed several ROMS to my TF700T. With that said I couldn’t find an answer to my dilemma and to be honest I don’t know how I got to where the current state of my tablet is.

As not to bore you all here is the short version. I was in the process of flashing the ZOMBi-POP-5.1.1_B2_omni_tf700t-KANG_signed ROM through TWRP v2.8.6.0. I made the mistake of picking up my sick toddler and putting here in my lap. While the tablet was running I was reading an article on the forum. My little princess hit something on the tablet and poof my tablet seems FUBAR!

I can get into TWRP if I flash it to my device via a command line on pc. If I try to reboot device it goes into a boot loop TWRP flashing every 5-10 seconds. I reflashed it and was able to get TWRP to load correctly. I am on bootloader version “US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801”. I tried flashing a different Kernel (10.6.1.14.4-that2) in my forum reading to fix my issue. I can use some fastboot command to send files to my TF700T.

I get the following errors looking at the terminal window in TWRP

E:Unable to find partition size for ‘/misc’

E:Unable to find partition size for ‘/staging’

E:Primary block device ‘/dev/block/mmcblk0p8’ for mount point ‘/data’ is not present!

Is my tablet now a paperweight or is there something I can do to resurrect it and try Zombi-POP? I hope I gave you enough information. If you need anything else let me know and I will see if I can get it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

You should have adb access in recovery. Run this command:

Thank you for the quick response. I ran the command as you said and here are my results:

error: device not found

So I ran the fastboot command and found device

C:\adb>fastboot devices

015d2a50885c220f fastboot

I tried it as well in the terminal command through TWRP after getting the version you suggested and it said sh: adb: not found

any other suggestions?

I also ran the PT.blob file you linked to and it showed the status bar on the screen it loaded but no dice either. After I rebooted device and I get the same thing with TWRP v2.8.4. It just reboots screen every 5-10 seconds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Ok, we need to backtrack a little. That command is supposed to be run from your computer through adb with the tablet booted to recovery.

You say that TWRP reboots every few seconds, but you also say that you used terminal in TWRP. Can you boot into TWRP??

If you can boot into it: What do you get with

adb devices

?

To check if the tablet can see your partitions, in terminal try

cat /proc/partitions
[Asus Transformer TF700] DELS71:
I believe I may not be explaining it correctly. I booted my tablet up power + volume down key. Once I get to screen with 3 options in center and shows bootloader version. From here I plugged in my tablet to my pc and opened a command line, went to my adb folder and ran the code you suggested. Is this the correct steps or do I need to be in TWRP to run these commands?

I need to flash TWRP every time I reboot my tablet. If I do not it will cycle not find my OS and reboot into TWRP logo screen. This screen will just flash every 5-10 seconds. From here I can reboot with power + volume down get to the bootloader screen and then flash TWRP and reboot into it and it will work for that 1 time.

In TWRP terminal I get:

CODE

Adb devices

Sh: adb: not found

Code

Cat /proc/partitions

Cat can’t open /proc/partitions: No such file or directory

With TWRP on tablet screen I ran the codes you suggested via command line on PC with these results

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Ok we got to back up even more. You are confusing adb and terminal commands which are two different shoes.

You use adb to connect to your tablet from your PC when

a) the tablet is booted into Android or

b) the tablet is booted into recovery

You check the connection with 'adb devices'

Booted into recovery the return under "List of devices attached" should be something like: 1234567abcdsefg recovery

If you have an adb connection (and you need to have the correct drivers installed on your PC) you can run adb commands or connect to the tablet in an adb shell.

The command I posted earlier is a shell command. So the tablet needs to be in recovery to run that command.

Another way to manipulate your tablet is in Terminal, which is build into TWRP. The 'cat /proc/.." command is a terminal command.

And then there's fastboot which you use when the tablet is in the bootloader and fastboot mode.

Each tool is used for different things, so you cannot run fastboot commands in adb or terminal commands in adb and vice versa.

So before you do anything else let's try to get a clearer picture:

To flash the recovery you are using this command??

fastboot flash recovery <name_of_file>

Get into recovery.

Then EITHER connect to it in adb and run the adb shell command OR use the terminal in TWRP to run the cat / proc command.

Post the output.

Since it's easier to cut/paste from the cmd window on your PC or take a PrintScreen I think it's best if you use adb shell.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It depends what rom you are replacing. If stock to cm, you should factory reset (that automatically wipes cache and dalvik for you). If just flashing a new cm rom over an existing cm rom, then just wiping dalvik is usually enough. You should never need to wipe your internal sd media.
