Hello I did a search and can't get a straight answer. I have the att gs4 4.2.2 rooted and I'm wondering what version of safestrap I need. I see mixed answers like 3.65, 3.71, 3.72 and I'm not quite sure which is it. Help will be much appreciated!

You need to search and read. It depends which version of 4.4.2 you're on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49562527

Check in settings/ more/ about device towards the end what build you have. If you are on 4.2.2 you dont need safestrap any recovery can do. If you are on 4.4.2 its a different story you have a whole different process before you get safestrap. Safestrap use is for locked bootloaders that came after builds NB1 and NC1.
Since you are already rooted there is no use for safestrap. If you are looking to flash custom roms check the ones are compatible with your present build.

Thank you but I installed another recovery a while back and it deleted my stock recovery. I posted on here asking what I need to do and they told me safestrap. I'll keep looking around.

If you're on mdb/mdl firmware all you need to do is put on a custom recovery to flash roms. This should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42320391

See the second post in the link. You will need safestrap if you're on mf3. But you might want to consider updating your firmware to mk2 then see the first link I gave you. That way you'll be able to flash 4.4.2 roms

I'm currently thinking of flashing this rom on my S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520418
I current am rooted with the MF3 update and have Safestrap installed. My phone is unlocked with RegionLockAway. Will this rom work fine on my setup with Safestrap? What are the steps I need to take to install this?
It is a Verizon ROM... There would need to be some serious tweaking/mods done if I am not mistaken.

I flashed this rom earlier and it worked for me. Im currently on MF3 with Safestrap installed. Just be sure to download the ATT Compatibility pack from the rom's thread and MF3 kernel modules included in the Safestrap thread and flash them after installing the rom.

Okay so I'm currently rooted on stock rom. I just want to know if there's any way that I can start flashing ROMs by using any recovery. At the moment I just keep seeing there's no recovery available for mf3 baseband.. I really want to take advantage of this phone with mods.. Please help

If I root it and use chainfires cf auto root or w.e thru Odin to install a recovery will he be good to go...will it unlock the bootloader or will I send it into a security error by flashing clockwork

You will most likely brick it. Use Hash code's safestrap in development section
With safestrap tho can't you only flash stock ROMs?

Correct, our VZW specific Note 3 has a locked bootloader so we can't modify it aside from the stock .tar file via Odin
You want to use this method to apply the MJE update before doing anything else
Then root via Kingo, have to google it
Then install Safestrap, open it, select install recovery
Profit
Lol good luck let us know if you run into issues it's not too rough
OK thanks..man that sucks that the boot loader hasn't been unlocked yet

If he wants the full root experience, at this time his best option might be to return the phone for something else if he is within his 14-day period.
I'm not sure what else though ... The N3 is a great device. My understanding is that the camera on the HTC One isn't great, and I'm not sure what the root situation on the LG device is, nor how much developer love it will get over time.
Maybe he should leave Big Red for a different carrier... making sure they know exactly why on the way out the door.
Haha yeah thats what i said I have T-Mobile s4 and had mine hacked in 5 mins with a custom ROM on it

Running Beans Build 6 with a custom launcher with Wanam Xposed Framework mods and it's not bad at all. I'm sure he'd be happy with that.

So my friend has a galaxy s4 that he wants to root, custom recovery, roms.. Etc. So I was wondering where to start? I Have done this to a galaxy note 1. And I know Odin is needed but just would like help with the process for the s4, and possibly links to find what I need. Basically I will be helping with root and flashing a recovery. I know Samsung phones already have a unlocked bootloader. Any help will be thanked!

Nb1 is 4.4.2. Mk2 is 4.3. In a terminal emulator on your phone type
su
getprop ro.bootloader

It depends on what firmware you're currently on. The s4 is not an easy device to root and rom and the roms available to you are only touch wiz based. You might want to consider not messing with your friends phone.

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.
