"ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."

CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:

BETA v4.08-B01

WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?

Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 3.2.1 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:

Here you can create virtual ROM-slots for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.

You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.

Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.

HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?

Requirement: Root

Flashable zip:

Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.

HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?

During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".

Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).

HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?

Flashable zip:

Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.

KNOWN ISSUES:

- Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again.

WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] WhiteDragonn:
Does this allow magisk to be installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] afaneh92:
No, not as far I know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] WhiteDragonn:
Interesting. I also noticed in the instructions that it says your device must be rooted in order to use safestrap. Is there a root for this phone that I am unaware of?

Also, I appreciate you and Hashcode's work on this project, but what is the purpose of this if there is no root and no roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] afaneh92:
You can get full root on combination via wondershare app.

Old 5.1.1 also can have full root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] WhiteDragonn:
Hmmm. I have never heard of using Wondershare. The site looks sketchy, can you go more into detail for me? I'm also running nougat.

Also will their be ROMs soon?

Could I use existing ROMs that are on the general Note 5 forum?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] afaneh92:
http://download.wondershare.net/mobilego-b_full1871.exe

No ROMs for now, You are on U3 bootloader if you got root it will be temporary. U2 can permenant root 5.1.1 without combo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] WhiteDragonn:
That didnt work, it was stuck and kept rebooting my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bladez:
I presume this only works on 6.0 and lower? It also just bootloops my phone on Android 7.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Reverse-anastomosis:
I can confirm that this is working as described. I flashed the combination firmware, rooted with wondershare, flashed safestrap via flashfire then flashed the ROM that this developer posted. What I have is a functional, rooted 5.1.1. I would love to have newer firmware, but I don't know what is possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gigahurts:
Hello Reverse-anastomosis,

Where do you find the combination firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Reverse-anastomosis:
That's a great question. I'm pretty sure I got it from some sketchy site that turned up in a google search. My theory on it was even if it was infected with something malicious, which I know has been a concern in the past, that it didn't matter because I really wasn't spending much time with the ROM booted, and I doubt there is anything tampered pre ROM, as we would have known about an exploit like that. So it might not fit your uses, my use was purely experimental and I didn't care if the device was compromised. All that being said I'll be glad to shoot you a link what I have if you're interested.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gigahurts:
That would be great, I would really appreciate it. My purpose is exactly the same, for experimentation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jherane:
Hello [MENTION=301145]reverse[/MENTION]_anastomosis do you find that there's issues with the WIFI password being forgotten after a reboot and the fingerprint sensor does not work? I'm gonna do a full clean wipe to see if it's still an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rootmaster906:
Which android version does it need to be in to root?

Hi, I'm on N920VVZW3CRH1, Can I use this to install custom ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] asnjmn:
Does this allow magisk to be installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] asnjmn:
OKAY thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
Thanks much to afaneh92 for his work on this. I was unaware of this thread even though I've been trying to get something like this done for several years on this phone. Can't believe he was banned - way too nice of a guy...

I don't seem to find the Safestrap app (not the flashable zip file) for this phone version. I did try a safestrap app for a different phone and it runs but seems to do nothing.

I tried multiple times flashing the Safestrap zip with Flashfire after getting temp root with MobileGo but that seems to do nothing. I asked Flashfire to delay boot by 1 minute but it does not delay and while it looks like it starts the flash (after seeing a bunch of text go by) but I don't think it is actually able to flash. Using 0.73 version of Flashfire. Trying to capture any messages now with a video of the Flash.

It says writing for system, installing the Safestrap zip file, Safestrap installer script by Afaneh92, Mounting, extracting files and then it immediately reboots - all that happens in a fraction of a second. Reboot just give the regular Samsung startup screen. I have Safestrap on a couple other phones but it never shows up on this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Early access for those of you who know what this is, and want to see what you can find inside. I compress extra small for storage and bandwidth savings, so you'll need 7zip or WinRAR etc to extract - the default Windows unzipper can't handle it.

Retail firmware should be coming soon, and I'll put up another thread similar to my existing ones, once I have access to it.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Hmmm.... A G977T Combination file has now been released. This is very interesting, because Samsung stopped using specific carrier designation letters in their model numbers after the Note 7, for all flagship devices. Not sure what the differences may be between U and T, but that's exactly why I'm providing the links :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] yakapa40:
for G977T we must waite for the full firmware ( there is no CSC in a combination firmware )

about Verizon firmware i can say firmware is SM-G977UVRU1ASE8 G977UVZW1ASE8 multi CSC

[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, I know - I have already posted the full firmware in a separate thread.

So far, there appears to be G977B, G977T, and G977U models. So we'll have to wait and see what the differences are, and how the firmware will differ
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
Hi;

Do you guys think there'll be an unlocked variant on the State's side?

Would it be necessary? Or just SIM unlock the Verizon variant?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I have not seen any references or mention of a 5G U1 variant yet. And I'm not sure if the Verizon model is going to already be SIM unlocked, like most of their phones are
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] 1+1=2:
the VZW model is sim locked!!!

after set up I switched Sims, it recognised the new sim but then said this phone cannot be used with this sim!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
Thank you.

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That doesn't necessarily mean that it's SIM locked. Pretty much all Verizon phones show a notification that says "This is not a Verizon SIM" - even if they're unlocked - if you insert a different carrier's SIM. If you can post a picture or screenshot of what you're seeing, that might help us clarify things
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] 1+1=2:
this is the pop up that occurs

it says and i quote

Change carrier

Sorry your device cant be activated on another network right now.

for help contact Verizon at 800 922 0204or 8882946804 (prepaid plans)

OK
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Posting a picture or screenshot would be a lot more helpful.

Is there a place to type in a code, or does it say "tap here to learn how you can use your device on another carrier's network" or anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] zeroktal:
anyone know where I can get the firmware for the sm-977n ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] zeroktal:
Will these work with the SM-977N ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Altair571:
Buy the $30 prepaid plan and leave the Verizon sim in for 24 hours after its activated and then pop in another sim. Should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Luis@iTech:
The Verizon G977U comes unlocked. I am currently using T-Mobile. I don't mind bc I upgraded from note 8. but I just don't like the Verizon boot and all apps ect.., also the "non Verizon Simcard "message.

in my note 8 I put any simcard and it will reset to that simcard carrier with original carrier boot and apps. . I will like to have the same effects in this device.

if anyone is interested in testing with this device it is available.

I've seen G977N in YouTube and it doesn't have any carrier (maybe that's the unlocked version)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] HAN216256:
Will this support S10 5G firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Altair571:
The SM-G977T model will be for T-Mobile. Saw the phone being tested myself. Here's a link showing the test firmware on the TMB csc: http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/TMB/SM-G977T/version.test.xml
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
COol, good to know :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
Be calm...

You have to wait for 24 hours now with Verizon, then the phone will unlock automatically.

Yes i personally tested. 100% working without any bug,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
I found this and recommended testers try for rooting BL rev 4 devices.

Is this designed for a particular OS version? Will it work with LP or MM then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] afaneh92:
I think MM has no root yet!

this can work over LP (5.1.1) and combo firmware too.

Im releasing a 5.1.1 ROM that work over any BL rev for verizon variant soon. maybe you can test it when I have luck uploading it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
We do have a temporal root on the first full MM build for BL rev 4. Using the greyhat root console with the dirtyc0w-able kernel, we can get root commands ran. With a some further tweaking of the code we could get it more stable albeit not permanent yet.

Please PM me please on how you propose to make that rom. Are you able to add to the combination system image to make it workable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] afaneh92:
ROM uploaded but give me some time to post the instructions with details.

flashing non combo system.img over combo BL will end with non bootable device and will check for system rev, the hack is to keep the system header and flash the ROM as custom zip not to write the system.img and to add some libs from the combo system to make it bootable.

Will link you later with all things. and with the new safestrap build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
That sounds great. The combo BL I have for sw rev 3 will allow you to flash the whole Odin stock AP tar from rev 2 or rev 1 because those were LP based builds. I guess it just didn't check signatures. Because it even allowed me to flash a rev 2 sboot and technically downgrade even.

All I had to do was first flash the rev3 BL and CP I have, and then boot straight back to download and then any of 5.1 builds (AP file) would flash no problem.

I guess we dont have a real eng sboot for rev 4 yet.

If the device will not charge or will not power on and cannot connect to PC then that means your device is hard bricked and it cannot be repaired.
