Install Stock MJE in Slot 1 Using Safestrap - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to keep a copy of stock rom in rom slot and a second copy in slot 1 so I can try the zip to restore underlining spelling errors in slot 1 version to avoid ruining my stock rom. Anyway, I can't find directions anywhere about how to put a copy of stock rom into slot 1 of safestrap. Would you be so kind as to help me out. I'm a dope so I need very specific directions. Thanks again.

Backup stock slot then restore that backup in second slot.

I read somewhere that someone tried that and it didn't work. I really need to keep track of links better.
Anyway, if I do that I can still restore the stock rom slot as well right?

Weird, don't see why it wouldn't work. But yes you could just restore stock rom after backing it up if the zip breaks it.

[Q] Safestrap

My RAZR M only has 8GB of internal space, when trying to create a ROM Slot 2 I am unable to due to lack of space. Is there any way to make it so ROM Slots can be created on the SD card?

Nope... think about that - do you want /system on a possibly removable storage medium? I don't even know if its possible lol

The new safestrap allows for flashing custom ROMs into the stock slot. Try it, it's amazing!

You did that and it worked? What ROM? Did you do anything special? I tried that the other night and had to rsd my phone back to ICS and reroot and update! Sup with that. I used cm 10 and it made my phone go into fast boot mode. "Failed HAB check" I think is what it said.
you can only used it stock type modded firmware i think ? DHB and other stock like ones.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... BDH is what I used.
Follow this method.
1. Create ROM slot 1
2. Load BDH rom how you like it
3. Nandroid
4. Activate stock rom slot.
5. Delete rom slot 1
6. Wipe everything X2
7. Restore nandroid into stock rom slot
8. Wipe cache and dalvik
9. Reboot
Have fun!

Should have looked at this yesterday. You the ss guru! If you hadn't responded I would have given up. My hands shook bad both times as I rsd my phone. I bricked and broke many in my quest for root and ROM.

I know that feeling. Last night I got my phone stuck on boot animation didn't have safestrap installed so I had to flash the firmware through rsd. My hands was shaking too because the flash kept failing. Finally I had to do a factory data and cache wipe to get it to run. I won't make that mistake again lol

Safestrap on KitKat

I've made a backup of the system partition, but I'm a little hesitant to install it on a slot. If something goes wrong with the slot, can I force a reboot, and a successful switch back over to stock? It seems a basic function...

I made an entire back up and installed it on the stock side 2-3 times now works great no issues.
You are very brave, sir!

Not really stupid is more like it after I hit restore my but puckered up and I was like oh **** if this doesnt work Im screwed no fxz and if I can fix it then no root.
Is anyone having any luck using Slot1, 2, etc?
I can boot from the stock slot no problem. Any other slot just reboots to SU2-3 recovery.
I've recreated slot 1/restored a couple times.
I realize that 3.65 (TWRP 2.6.3.1) is not KitKat "compatible", but wanted to check here to see if anyone has had any success.
Thanks!

What are you flashing? there are no roms for this phone. I just use SS to make backups in case I screw something up cant FXZ or you will lose root. So I don't know if they work or not.
Slots are useful for testing and tweaking without exploding your daily driver.

I guess so I just make a backup of stock slot then make changes any issues it boots into SS and I just install the backup saves time from making slots.

Same here, cant boot into any rom slots as when you hit continue or just let it pass the ss screen it goes to factory recovery.
Has anyone been able to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2 with this? I want to switch to Tmobile but took the 4.4 update.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
No way to downgrade with this. Slots can't be created due to the new FS. Backup and restore to the stock slot work fine.
Sent from my XT1080
So I'm not the only one pulling my hair out over this? I'm on kitkat rooted with ss 3.65 when rebooting to recovery I get the little Andy on his side, only getting to boot into system. Wasn't sure if I'm doing something wrong, also can't seem to do a backup and use it as an activ to reboot. Whenever I press that option it informs me that no OS is installed

You can only use the stock slot as of now, possibly for good, for modding of any type. ROM slots will not work with KK

I don't even know if Hashcode is working on this anymore I have not seen any updates for a while.

So is SS (latest version) safe to use on rooted/wp off kk?

Yes you can make backups you can restore backups you just cannot make rom slots
Are there any other safe recoveries I could use? Sorry if this isn't the right place but I've been searching for hours and can't find anything...

Flash to stock slot?

Guys I'm running out of room on internal storage and was thinking about flashing on stock slot but don't wanna f anything up. Give me a basic walk through on how to flash to stock slot?
Thanks

Just make a backup of your stock slot, wipe it, then flash whichever ROM you'd like to in that spot. I've never messed with other slots, have always just wiped stock and flashed there. Never had any problems. Hope this helps

Yup, same here, I always use stock. As long as you make a nandroid and just back it up on your SD card or PC, you are fine. If you ever royally screw up, you can always go back to your nandroid.

Backup stock rom in different slot. Safestrap.

Safestrap question:
I need to use my stock rom slot for most custom roms, but I want to create a backup of my stock rom, preferably on a different slot, so that I can access it easily. Is this possible?

I'm nearly sure that you can backup your stock slot, create a ROM slot, then activate and restore to the ROM slot. The only issue would be with the disk size the way it is, my stock slot won't fit on a new ROM slot. But I've done this on other phones with SS and it's worked. Try it, the worst that happens is it doesn't work and you have an extra backup!

Flashing U fw question

Do I need to undo adoptable storage before flashing?

Anyone..

I believe you will lose everything on your SD card if you don't. So make a backup just in case and give it a try.
I didn't lost anything on my SD card and I didn't change anything. However, you can just remove your card while you flash the firmware and then put it back in after it starts back up.
Appreciate it
