Hi, guys
I want to flash danvdh google edition 4.4.2 ROM on my ATT g4 (MF3) with safe strap.
After I create rom-slot1, wipe all the data and install from sd card with the rom zip file I put there already, looks like it start flash, but got "success" in less than 1 min. I flash loki-doki after that (because I was told it's necessary for my phone). Then I reboot, adter safe sreap screen, click continue, black screen with some viabration. nothing happened.
Actually I check the md5 of the rom I download, it's correct. not sure why flash got a "success" in 1 min, suppose should be long.
Anyone can give some suggestion? REally appreciate it.
You need to do more reading. Safestrap only works with touchwiz ROMs, and only other 4.2.2 ROMs since you're on MF3.

Thanks for the reply. But I was told I should use safe strap on another my post when I asked how to flash "danvdh google edition 4.4.2 ROM" with MF3.
Do you mean MF3 can not be flashed to kitkat now?
Sorry for those questions, I searched and found a post with same question but no people answer.
Thanks ain advance!

As i said, only Touchwiz and other 4.2.2 if you're on MF3. So no kitkat now.

There is the 4.4 leak, but no root of Safestrap for it yet. You'll have to wait for either of those.

If you want to flash a 4.4 ROM you could update to 4.3 then root and install safestrap. Safestrap still doesn't work with ROMs that aren't Touchwiz based. If you need the 4.3 MK2 tar, you can download it here http://www.mediafire.com/download/ktkoogwz562p64k/2400258.zip

Hey guys,
I have been doing alot of research but cannot seem to come up with anything. I have a i-337. 4.2.2 mf3 firmware. I have seen the safestrap recovery but did not want to use safestrap. Is there any other custom recovery that I can use to flash a custom rom? Thanks for the help.

Thats what I figured. Everything I read is from september, so I was just trying to get the latest word. Is 4.3 out for us I-337 users? And if so, Can someone point me in the direction of the tar file to install using ODIN, if that's possible yet? Thanks a bunch.

No Odin tar for 4.3 yet, but search through the 4.3 thread in the General forum and you'll find links and instructions buried in there on sideloading 4.3 via ADB, (if you don't simply want to wait for the OTA). Note that you must have a pretty clean stock phone to get it to work. If you want root, I would suggest rooting MF3 first, then enabling survival mode in SuperSU Pro, as that's the safest way to get root on 4.3. One more thing: no custom ROMs, recovery, anything is available on 4.3, just root.
I've search but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I am wondering which Rom would be compatible with my phone. What exactly am I looking for in the description to know if it will work. My phone is rooted and has Safestrap installed. Sorry if this has been discussed already.

Download MJ9>MK2 zip, follow instructions in the second post.
If you want to keep root and just save a second in not having to root again, use the SuperSU survival mode.

Awesome! I'm rooted with MK2. So maybe you can help me with one more.
I am trying to install Cyanogen so I did the following
From Recovery
Boot Options
Rom-Slot-1 Selected
Wipe
Install Cyanogen
When I reboot, I get nothing..
I am installing the latest nightly of Cyanogen.
From my understanding that is an aosp rom and safe strap does not support those kind of roms yet. Safe strap for 4.3 is fairly new and there is not many roms compatible yet. Pol have been having different results with roms

Cyanogen and other AOSP ROM's do not work. Only some 4.3 TW ROM's are working at this point.

Also, we don't have custom recovery yet. The closet thing we get is Safestrap.
I am a noob when it coms to all things root. Ive looked over the forums and just get lost. So my question is can I upgrade to a rooted kit kat 4.4.2 from my current 4.2.2 rooted(motochopper)? Thanks in advance!

Right here in this forum. Go back to the main AT&T, Canadian BELL, ROGERS etc header. Choose
ANDROID DEV and they are all in there.
I've only tried Hyperdrive RLS15 on my S4........tried just about every rom on my S3 with good success.
I'm back to stock rooted right now on my S4 because I was unable to get a signal once my SIM was inserted.
Still battling with that. But I also know better than to update to stock 4.4.2....it'll most likely lock up the
phone so only safestrap can be used.... Samsung is getting to be like Apple........
First of all, thanks for reading this...
Here goes the story. I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 AT&T. Yesterday I updated to 4.4.2 OTA. The idea of flashing to google edition ROM came into my mind so I did some research. I found 4.4.2 with NB1 baseband cannot be rooted and it has to downgrade to 4.3 first. So I followed this link:
[NB1►DOWNGRADE★UPDATE◄MK2] ★ [NB1 FULL ODIN] ★ [100% SS ROOTED STOCK] ★ [Mar.23.2014]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545
to do so. Everything worked fine. I installed Safestrap-v3.71. Then, I downloaded GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 BY Danvdh from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495) and followed this link:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2014/01/...42-kitkat-danvdh-google-edition-custom-rom/2/
to install Danvdh GE 4.4.2. The post said it needs CWM however I was unable to install CWM on my phone so I assume Safestrap should work the same. I used Safestrap to install the zip and got a successful message.
HOWEVER, when I reboot the phone, it just keeps rebooting (i.e., power on, Samsung logo, black, vibrate and reboot again)!!
Please help!!
Oh, I did not flash Loki doki. Is that causing the problem???
I don't think that rom will work with ss. If you have an i337 I think you need a mdl firmware.
Edit, looking at the rom I know it won't work with ss.

Yes, safestrap. You can not install cwm on your device. You can only use ss and touch wiz based roms. You might have to Odin back to mk2 and start over

There is a guide below with all the answers you seek young Android flashing apprentice. Please slow down & read it thoroughly before flashing anything. Reading saves phones! If the method or rom you want isn't posted in the guide, it can't be done on your MK2 S4. All the roms that will work on MK2 firmware are listed as well as the way to flash the listed Kit Kat roms too. I recommend you try the At&t roms 1st instead of the international versions. Please thank the op in the threads that help you. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

You can't flash any AOSP roms with safestrap, only Touchwiz based ones. Your bootloader is locked so it's impossible for you to flash any vanilla android or google edition roms.
The "I337UCUFNB1 100% Stock Rooted ROM" is basically stock GS4 Touchwiz firmware that is rooted.
