Last night I flashed http://galaxys4root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s4-roms/google-play-edition-rom-for-galaxy-s4/. I am on safestrap mk2 i337 4.3 rooted. After I installed the GPE, I did a wipe dalvik and cache then reboot. My Att i337 rebooted the Google boot screen started then it started the Android is updating 115apps. After that it says starting apps and just stays there and doesn't boot any further. I tried to flash Loki doki, different mk2 kernal modules. Nothing I tried could get it to actually start the apps so I can put in wifi password or anything. Usually if a rom is not compatible it doesn't get this far. I feel like this can work since it got so far using safestrap. We don't have any Google play edition roms or kitkat roms and this is closests. Can anyone help me or try to figure this out?

I'll admit, you got further than I would have expected but the facts remain... GPE 4.3 uses a different kernel than touchwiz based 4.3.
Your best best is to install this AOSP theme... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304251
It will run on goldeneye 20 in the ATT thread or just install a ROM that already has it incorporated, such as Blackbox or Purified.
I haven't seen blackbox or purified anywhere. I'm no developer but it's just SO close it just seems like it can be done. I do understand what your saying though. I just tried because it was basically stock.

So close, yet so far away... until the bootloader is unlocked.
Look here for a list of ROMs that work on MK2, including those two... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
Ok, so this safestrap thing is confusing me a bit. Currently, I am running Android 4.3 If I want to install a KitKat rom, would I have to update my phone to the newest AT&T build, or can I install the 4.4 rom onto my phone. Also, would I put it in a rom slot or could I install it in the Stock ROM slot?
Nope. Different kernels.

Yes, you can stay on MK2 base and flash 4.4 KK ROM's via SS. See post#108 in this thread for how to flash the the latest stock 4.4 ROM for our device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665336&page=11
Do not flash any files containing bootloaders. If you flash the NB1 bootloader you will be stuck and no longer able to go back to factory stack MK2.
I have a question before I up date my verizon galaxy note 3 to kitkat ok we can only use safestrap v3.72 on kitkat and you do note have any rom slots that work so are you just flashing over your stock rom every time you want to flash a new rom like jellybean or whatever or am I miss understanding

yes, you flash into the stock slot using safestrap 3.72 following a full wipe. I suggest making a backup first. You can only flash kitkat roms while on 3.72 if you want to go back to JB, it is my understanding you need to odin back.
verizion galaxy note 3 safestrap 4.4.2 rom

Correct, you cannot use any rom slot besides stock right now and yes you can restore a back up to your stock slot.

updated to kitkat but safestrap not working. It opens and I can do a recovery but then on reboot no screen appears? I tried downloading 2 different sites 2X same problem.
Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions appreciated

I think if you are usingSS v3.65 it only supports JB, and once you flash the KK update SS is no longer supported. At least that's the way I understood it.
I don't get the SS menu either.
I am not using 3.65. I have downloaded 3.72 which should work with 4.4
Recently updated to kitkat. Flashed the firmware, radio and kitkat safestrap. Went to install the new kitkat hyperdrive using the Stock slot which i know i shouldnt do that but anyway i accidently flashed the mje verison of hyperdrive in the stock slot. Now i cant get safestrap to mount the system partition. My question is, is there a way to fix it without odin back to stock. thanx

First of all you have to install ROMs on KK in the stock slot, the other slots aren't working yet (at least for most people). You're going to have to use Odin to get it running properly again.
Well I'm running hyperdrive kk in slot 1 as we speak so there goes that logic. Just can't access stock slot now. I figured that's would be the only way to fix it thanks.

Beans has said that they don't work for most people, they don't work for me.
I have an ATT Galaxy S4 and installed safestrap 3.72 no prob…flashed goldeneye no prob, used it for a cpl days then made a backup of it and tried to flash hyperdrive15 as directed by xda thread and when i rebooted just went black for a cpl mins and kept going back to safe strap so i tried to wipe again and install recovery first my golden eye backup(which i later learned was a no no on the stock rom) then my stock rom and getting i keep getting fail…something about unable to mount /system and /systemorig..so i tried advance wipe everything except extsd and also receive fail (unable to mount /system and /systemorig) only success is regular wipe but its not doing me any good. I know im a complete noob and probably did something stupid and also that you senior members hate stupid post here but please I really dont understand what happened....Also I have tried to flash golden eye rom over again and it is just going black and shutting off mid flash...I tried making a new rom slot to see if maybe i could just flash rom on new slot but no luck. I have looked EVERYWHERE and havent found anyone that has had this issue,lol which add to my feling of stupidity...ANY IDEAS???:crying:

You did not mention your phone firmware but based on your post, your firmware might be NB1 or NC1 since you said that you successfully installed the safestrap 3.72.
You did not mention which version of GE you flashed but I guess that might be GE28 or later. If you did, those roms are based on KitKat (android 4.4.2)
You flashed the hyperdrive15 which is written for jelly beam (android 4.3) based on the rom for the MK2 firmware.
GE rom installation for safestrap did not mention to install the rom in the different slot, so I guess you installed the GE rom in the stock slot.
Hyperdrive15 installation for safestrap mentioned to create/switch slot so you may or may not install the rom in the stock slot.
As far as I know, safestrap 3.72 does not support extra rom slot other than the stock rom slot. It appears that hyperdrive instructions were written for the safestrap 3.71.
May be that was your mistake.
My suggestion been odin the stock rom that corresponding to your firmware. Use tworl root to get rooted.

I do not know much about the Hyperdrive since I am a GE user. Also, Hyperdrive 17 mentioned that it would work for the ATT phone but 17 is posted only the Verizon forum.
For the ATT phone with NC1 firmware the steps for flashing the custom rom involves - 1)flash the rom, 2)flash the NC1 kernel module and 3) flash the supersu.
The correct compatibility pack might be referring to the kernel module, I guess. In that case, the pack for 15 might be written for the MK2 kernel module and it might not work with your NC1 firmware.

Is the kernel module the att module that they say to flash to make sure wifi works or is it something else? if so any ideas on where i can find it?
again thank you for taking the time to help me...

Yes. The kernel module is the att module needed to get WiFi working. It can be found after extracting the download from the deadly venom KitKat magic tool thread.
