[RECOVERY LOCKED/NC5/NG6/NK1]Safestrap Recovery v4.01 B02 [2016-02-09]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
I have already gone there. I installed stang5litre to my stock ROM slot using SS 3.75 and all went well. Then after the ROM booted for the first time, I let it settle in as directed, and then did a few important setup items, and then rebooted. When the SS splash screen came up, I tried to enter SS, but the screen just went blank for a few seconds and began booting stang5litre ROM. I then uninstalled the SS 3.75, rebooted the phone to make sure the splash screen was no longer present, and then installed SS 4.01 from the thread you pointed to. I still have the same issue, when I try to enter recovery, it just goes blank and then begins booting stang5litre. Does this ROM do this if you flash to the stock ROM slot? If this shouldn't be a problem how do I get SS working? If I can't can I flash back to NK1 using Odin and my NK1 stock image that I got from Sam Mobile. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
[MENTION=4740328]robn30[/MENTION] - Dude, its been stated many time in this thread SS isn't Lollipop compatible. Thats why you have to use the non-Odin method [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] made to use access SS again. SS still works for installing this ROM (and more reliable then FF method imo) but in order to access it you have to use his work around. Use search function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
Would have taken me forever to find that using a search. Luckily you provided me the Dev that did it, which allowed me to locate what I think is the right link. Is this it http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/guide-safestrap-access-odin-t3120483? Last question is I am on the NK1 bootloader, which is not listed in the thread, do I need to flash one of the other bootloaders to make this method work. Also noticed it says that the SS backups aren't SS restorable, so is having SS even needed? Is there an advantage I am not thinking of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Use the ss made by Mohammed. I need to update the thread.

His ss is updated for lp compatibility so backups and restores work fine as I tested it myself.

And nk1 is fine. I just forgot about that one since it's rarely used.

Nk1 can be very easily downgraded to nc5 via Odin. But no different than nc5 except for the kernel.

Just the ss version made my Mohammed and follow instructions and you will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
Mohammed's is the one I currently have installed and it will not enter SS when I select the recovery option. It just boots to stang5litre. I had SS 3.75 installed and that is the SS version I used to install stang5litre. Then when it wouldn't go into SS, I uninstalled 3.75, rebooted to make sure the SS splash screen was no longer there, then installed Mohammed's version and it is still doing the same thing. Should I use a different method to uninstall SS and maybe BusyBox, and then reinstall each? Would it be better to use your method to get back to where I can get into SS, restore my backed up NK1 ROM, upgrade to Mohammed's SS, then try to install stang5litre again? Not sure what the best option is to try and get it working. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You need to use nc5flasher in my thread to flash the nc5 kernel in order to access SS.

After you flash rom, mod, or whatever in SS you need to flash the oc1 kernel ss/ff flushable kernel so that you can get back into your lollipop rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
I see. So even with Mohammed's version, NC5flasher is still required to access SS. If I use NC5flasher to get into SS, can I then flash the OC1 SS flashable kernel, then perform a backup, and will that backup be able to be restored in the future using the NC5 flasher once again? Thanks for all the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Yes. Just remember to use nc5flasher to get into SS and flash oc1 ss flashable kernel before leaving ss
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robn30:
Thank you. Just installed your NC5 Flasher and got right into SS no problem. I then reflashed the SS OC1 Kernel immediately. Now I'm making a backup of the Stang5litre ROM. Great stuff by you amazing Dev's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
No problem. Glad you got it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Almaretto:
I checked order each time and made sure wipe was dragged to top. See #4906

Now on v33. How do I find v20 or v24.

Edit: I ended up attempting SS Instructions with 3.75. It sort of installed over existing stock rom, merging all settings and apps. However, I wizard was frozen from titanium backup so there was no setup process and I got hundreds of com.android.phone on their own or anytime I access data settings or phone/contacts. Wifi and everything else was working fine, but could not sends texts or make calls. I tried rebooting as well as clearing cache through app manager and bootloader, but that did not work.

On a whim, I used FF with same process I tried a half dozen or more times before. Yet, this time, I actually saw the FF install sequence load. Interestingly, I did not have any sound on the boot animation during first "semi-successful" install through SS, but did with FF. I left phone alone as instructed until I saw stang5litre power. I could not get to SuperSu until I completed wizard this time. I opted to do clean install, though it gave me option to carry over Stang5litre install. I am still setting up as I write this message, but so far I have cellular and data service without any force closes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JstCruzn86:
Will this remove the verizon subscription gate for usb tethering?

Hello, I'm running VRUGOF1 on my deactivated i545. All I really want to do is setup the phone to run as VR goggles (using trinusvr software). Atm, I can't because when I try to tether my phone to PC via USB cable, I get the subscription check block. Will this ROM wipe that gate/check out assuming I follow OF1 guide in OP?

I've tried to thoroughly read this thread. Any other "gotchas" beside using v24 of flashfire, extending screen to 10min sleep, disabling read/write on kernel in ff options and ensuring wipe is at top of checklist?

Thank you guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
The Hotspot is working so it should take that subscription notice away. [emoji106] [emoji41]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JstCruzn86:
Ok sweet. How about my 2nd question on potential hiccups with the process? Should I use a specific version of supersu when running ver24 of flashfire?

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
No
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Normal process. If FF messes up nothing you or I can do. Just the app. Some have had to use FF 4 times just to get a rom to take. Just not stable enough yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JstCruzn86:
​

Ok cool. Thanks for quick response. I'll give it a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daibko:
I used FFv33 on my I545 since I already Odin'd to OC1 & unrooted via KR>>SSU.

MD5s all matched.

I now have 5.0.1 Lollipop, and all seems fine except some curiosities and one VERY irritating "Unfortunately Settings has stopped working"

From OP:

14) Phone will reboot again and sit at Samsung screen for a few minutes (be patient) before starting the Setup Wizard.

15) IMPORTANT - Once system boots open SuperSU and change "Default Access" to "Grant"

16) When you get to setup and see stang5litre power wait 60 sec or 1 min whichever you prefer for my toggle mod to finish

if not you will get a fc and you just need to reboot and finish setup.​

Questions:

1. I expected 5-10min but it only took a couple. Was only at Samsung screen 30 sec! FF went through all steps of the install far as I can tell. Should it have been that fast?

2. VERIZON screen is still there. I thought it was supposed to be gone?

3. After boot I could not get to SSU in apps cause I was at the setup which wouldn't let me do anything except, well, set up. Is there some trick?

4. I never saw anything mentioning "stang5litre power" or anything other than a normal boring setup wizard. And I got no fc or reboot. What I miss here?

5. SSU wasn't in my list of apps (even though FF did flash the zip) until one of my subsequent repeated flashes. What I miss?

6. After setting up my first Google acct, I tried to set up my second and got the "Unfortunately Settings has stopped working" mssg. Never got this before even though it seems many folks do.

I have reflashed the whole process per OP for OC1 about 5 times now. Same results.

I have 3 Google accts I use for work and if I can't set them up I'm useless.

I've not really played with flashing since Fuze & HD2 days when I'd flash NRG every week, and after looking around I can't tell if these are noob issues or not.

Thank you for any help. (and yeah, my sig needs updating lol)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Seems like FF is not getting all files. Others that had that issue had to re flash. Again it's not the rom but the recovery your using. Sucks tbh because you have to Odin and what not. Odin and re root and install FF make sure stuff is correct and so on. What bl are you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Almaretto:
Just so you know, I would have missed it if I was not paying close attention myself. Without touching anything after first successful flash, at the bottom of the screen, there is a brief small grey pop-up that says stang5litre power.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daibko:
I flashed again. Stared at the phone the whole time. Saw no popup at Verizon screen or at setup wizard. Home still has 5 vs 9 screens. I checked ringtones, fonts, etc. Nothing modded that I can see. I don't get it.

And what is the trick to get to apps and SuperSU to tick the "grant" box without going through setup first? I'm feeling pretty dumb a this point cause I'm the only one that seems to be bringing this stuff up. Must be something too obvious/trying too hard type thing.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Sorry--missed your earlier post. bootloader I545VRUGOC1.

So if I understand you then if I don't get it the first time I have to Odin the OC1 all over again? Wow. At least that would explain why nothing changes with simply reflashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Almaretto:
Re Stang5lite pop-up: From the unlock screen after boot animation is where the small, nondescript flash of text that is not an actual pop-up that can be closed like a force close. I saw words and then waited a couple minutes before proceeding. I think I only had 5 screens to start, but I erased all 2. I only use 2 desktop screens and 1 for app drawer. There are different ringtones and notification tones than I had before...not sure if they are moded.

Re Wizard/SuperSu: I tried to use both the menu key or holding down home to swap over to switch SuperSU, but neither worked. The only option was to hit back key and exit setup, but I was not sure it would let me resume so I opted to continue first. Then, the first application I launched was SuperSu and switch permission.

Unrelated, here are some of my additional first impressions. I had to try multiple times before I could successfully import text messages through Titanium backup. I had to restart Verizon Messenger sync service a couple times but seems to be working now. The first time camera loaded it took a little bit of time to switch storage to microSD. I am still learning about the different features (coming from mk2 4.3). For an unknown reason, ADM stopped working for me and it works now with this install. I tried to install Xposed, but still playing with it to see if it works; framework and related modules are the first and only things that have crashed so far. I had to side-load apk (put in data/app folder) because I was only able to select cancel and not install button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ConfudentialGUI:
Help please!

Okay so, i am on a Galaxy S4 Sch-i545 verizon OF1 and v. 5.0.1 and i tried the of1 method and It rebooted and it went to a black screen and made the startup galaxy sound. I eventually got into download mode and flashed a stock rom and got my device working normally. But i really wanted a deodexed rom so i can download xposed without the bootloops, can you please tell me what i did wrong. Another thing is i looked at the oc1 afterwards and it said to root with king root and switch to super su but thats what i had to do to get rooted in the first place but my device is OF1, HELP!

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

i was reading thru and it said something about wipe being at the bottom so i looked and i am now trying it because it was at the bottom and i moved it up trying it now edit: still got black screen any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mtfurlan:
I can confirm that you *cannot* use supersu me. Took me a few hours to find the posts in the middle of the thread about that.

Would you mind adding to the instructions at that point a warning against it? I had thought it was the same thing as running the script, but no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
SuperSU Me Pro worked great for me.

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

I have an OF1 bootloader. I have successfully flashed this ROM for the third time now. I even used this method to flash a different ported ROM by the OP. I have had none of the problems that have read I about. As far as the order in FF. Apparently, I have been doing it wrong, thrice. I feel for you guys, my only suggestion is to keep trying.

This ROM and all the others on this site are experimental. As such there is no manual on installation, just a guide.

If your S4 is your only device or your lifeline, consider the risks carefully.

Edit: The de-odexing of the ROM does not mean no more bootloops. Notice I mentioned that I've flashed 3 times now;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mtfurlan:
Huh. I was using the free version and getting odd boot behavior, and was writing up a report of it before I found this post:

I had symlink failures on flash, and lots of services stopped responding. Tried four times with supersu me free, then tried the shell script and it worked first go around.

Could it just be supersu me free vs supersu me pro? I'm not willing to reset my phone and try again right now, but it might be something to look into.

Either way, I think it would be nice if the instructions said that supersu me free has failed for some people, at least.

I thought it would be identical to the shell script, but automated, but something was different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Yes, the shell script and the free version both failed for me. The Pro version worked like a charm. Also I think Klabit Mohammad.Afaneh may have a method as well, if i remember. Try searching in one of his Dev threads. I'll look for it too, but i have not tried it.

Edit: My bad the method I was referencing is in the OP of this thread by mohammad.afaneh:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/rom-albe95-astra-v2-note-5-port-s4-vzw-t3295139

Consequently, I paid the $ for the pro version and I have used it at least 10 times, it works on several devices.

Edit: Hope I'm not stepping on anybody's toes.:)

Is there any way to get rid of 3minit and use the stock battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Have you tried freezing it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
It just keeps the 3minit battery and doesn't revert.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Go in app to settings, uncheck "show battery"

You have to unfreeze it first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
Disabled show battery, froze it in TiBu and now I have no battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Go to phone settings, under battery check show percentage. That's the best I can do. There are a lot of different styles in 3 minute.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
It shows the battery percentage, no battery icon. I'll see what happens if I reboot

EDIT: Rebooted, still not showing. I'm fine with no icon, thanks for the help though! I'll see what I can do through xposed modules
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
I've got it all set. Use a colorable icon. One that you like. Set colors to white except text. Set it to black or whatever. Looks just like stock.

This mod is basically framework. I think its more customizable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
Close enough, thanks! I just wish there was a colorable one that was transparent and without the shadow/shading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Your welcome. All the frames are in the 3 minute folder. Maybe you could edit them into what your looking for.

Edit: Just checked. In the color picker the first two digits are for transparency. A value of 00 = completely transparent. So 00000000 for anything you do not want to see. Increase the value for less transparency. FF would be solid. FFFFFFFF for solid white. FF000000 for solid black.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
I'll definitely be looking into that. I managed to get somewhat of an accurate transparency, thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tree95763:
Thank You!

I was very nervous after seeing all the soft brick hard brick broken brick stories. I have an i545 of1.

What worked for me was, King Root. Then Super Su me Pro app then read all the directions twice even parts for other suffixes. Check that downloads were at least the right size. Close all open apps. Boost with 360 a/v. Then do each step slowly. Then the surprise. It ran through faster than expected. Froze once but it was after flash had done its thing and reboot had already happened. Pull Battery. Replace Battery. Update apps message and it was golden!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tree95763:
Thank You!

You have really done an impressive job! My apologies if you have answered this question 1000 times! Running v3. Are there any apps that i need to avoid updating?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firecodex:
[MENTION=3354386]steepdgaf[/MENTION] [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] : Did either of you ever figure out a fix for this issue other than re-flashing? I've got the exact same issue on mine (SS and ROM v3) and wifi used to work perfectly. I have the trigger app configured to activate my hotspot every time I get into my car (and deactivate when I get out), so that my android headunit can use it. Now I can no longer turn on wifi; it just enables the hotspot when I do. Reboot, or remove battery and reboot, issue persists. Already flashed wifi modules before I saw this in the thread, no dice. Hate to flash again but I'm probably going to end up doing it if I can't figure this out. I'm still on a Verizon unlimited data plan so it's not a huge deal but sometimes LTE signal is bad or maybe I want to cast something so I still need wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steepdgaf:
You could try a dirty flash like stang mentioned, may work for you. When I went to dirty flash something went wrong and ended up doing a clean flash so I can't say if that will work or not. Let us know what ya do, good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lscheres:
First off i love this rom! awesome battery life, very snappy, been using it for a while now. I cant rememeber if im on the newest version or not, i feel like i might be on V2. My issue ive been having not only on this rom but the last one i use too(hyperdrive) is with random pages not working when using USB tether AND Wifi Hotspot. Some sites just return a DNS issue. Its really weird. For instance right now i can watch live streams on my DirecTv app on my phone, but my nvidia shield thats on the same network cant, ive also tried this with the wifi hotspot and had the same issue, but it comes and goes. Ill also have google issues alot. Like my pone providing the internet can use google just fine but if i hop on the laptop it hit or miss if i cant use google, google.com just returns a dns issues 90% of the time. I dont know if anyone has an idea but im open to suggestions. Right now i have my phone plugged into my Asus RT-AC5300 routers usb port and have to set to android phone for primary wan, works awesome for 99% of tihngs, i just keep having random DNS issues. Im on verizon and have unlimited data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Nope you can update any app you like :D:good: Enjoy :D

Thanks for the compliment :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
1st. You can add up to 9 home sceens it doesn't come default at 9.... all you have to do is add them to your home screen...

2nd. You never restore with TB when coming from a different base as you will have issues like your having. Just for future ref. Xposed works fine on my Rom just use the search function and its posted at least 10 times in here.

3rd. I used terminal to swap KR to SuperSU also in OP (Terminal will always be better)

You have to add the screens on your homescreen. The mod works fine. Its not set to default to 9 home screens, simply hit the plus symbol and add them. When you messed up the 1st time and got black screen at that point you have to odin. Reflashing does nothing as you already messed up. Once you odin re root and so on make sure the order is correct. FF moves wipe to the end and you have to move it back to the top. This is known issue for FF. For SuperSU and grant just follow OP to do that.

You need to odin and re root... Once you flashed incorrectly and get black screen there is no way to just reflash.. This is FF not my Rom. On the 9 home screens i didn't set it as default just add them with the plus sign..

There are specific instructions for each bl and they have to be followed to a T.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Never got the two parts to make it . If you can resend it my friend I'll build it tonight :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
Ok will do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
lmfao!!!!! I wish !!!

Upgrade to v3, I don't mind making a v4 if there is enough people still on the s4 to do so. Also I would need some Ideas for mods people want and so forth

anytime :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
you cna use the Themes included in the Rom or use Layers. I used layers ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
The method works fine as you can see it has been tested and proven to work. I don't believe my OP says use the free version.

You must have installed the wrong xposed

Use the Paid edition it even shows on the the app you need pro.

To get rid of 3 minit battery go to my afh under flashables and flash the stock SystemUI, then after your booted back up go into priv-apps and delete the two apks for 3minit battery, Restart and you will no more 3 minit battery and will have stock :D
