I never said anything equivalent to why isn't safestrap available, was just asking for someone to post a link for it when it is.
In case you're having trouble finding the galaxy s5 safestrap here it is
this is only for the Verizon galaxy s5

I have a towelrooted VZW S5. Does this Safestrap trip the knox counter? Mine is still 0x0.

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out a few things with the S4 and read a lot of stuff but I have a few unanswered question.
I come from using NExus phones since Nexus 1. Unlock Phone, install CWM and then use it to flash roms or rooting scripts.
Now, I have S4. I am still with their STOCK on I337M (Canadian Model) and I rooted using CF-Auto-Root and ODIN.
What I don't understand, is:
- Can I flash CWM and then just use CWM and SuperSU-vx.xx.zip to root? Why Use Odin?
- Now that I am rooted, if I new SAMSUNG firmware comes along, I am assuming it will fail, I will have to unroot and then apply firmware and then root again? How do I unroot? "Full Unroot" from the option in the app just like the Nexus phones?
- S4 has a counter from what I read, but lot's of warning about bricking phone is that only active on Samsung stock? What if I flash a google stock?
- Can I just use Rom Manager Pro as I used to with Nexus devices...
if I flash CWM, is it replacing ODIN? Is odin a recovery like Odin! If anyone can point out and explain the difference between CWM , ODIN, Nexus phones and S4 it would be great...
I know that now when I go to download mode (Is that like fastboot?) it shows binary as being custom, but I don't get a yellow triangle when I boot...
Thanks for any info regarding explaining what ODIN is...
I also noticed although I have 16GB phone, 6.38GB is system! That is huge! Is that normal?
There are some nice features that I would not like to lose, so I stuck with samsung and just use NOVA home screen...
This is actually the "ATT Galaxy S4Active" forum. S4 forum will have answers to all your S4 questions.

Only thing I still wonder is about updates that samsung releases. It will remove root? I guess I have to wait till chainfire has a rooting script then update.
Thx.

I just went through the un root because I was only using it for one thing. I ended up flashing the original ROM using Odin then doing a factory reset and cache wipe. Now waiting for the update not sure I will root until S4 is not longer updated by Samsung.

Hi,
Look HERE
OTA will remove root,and the latest will lock down your bootloader.
Hi
I have AMG1... I think this is the latest one but I was able to root.. Will locking boot loader prevent rooting.. Could it be another one for at only?
Thanks
Note: yes. I did notice chainfires note.. But he doesn't say what load is the latest.. There are so many Samsung s4 models devices.. Each with different models its so confusing

I just installed CWM on latest version of Canadian I337M AMG1... Its good so far.
Xda modder.. There are differences between i337 att and Canadian i337m.. No forum specific to the Canadian folks?
Thanks...

I wanted to know if there's a way to get S Note from the Galaxy Note working on the S4, I was able to use it when I had an S3.
Thanks

Already tried that, it didn't work, I'm guessing it was because the apk i tried was from JB 4.1.2 and I think I need a version for 4.2.2, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Try the one from the Note 3 then. I know its 4.3 but as previously mentioned, whats the worst that could happen. I have a few things working from the Note 3 on my 2 that seem to work great regardless of 4.1.2 framework.

Any ideas for the S-Pen? I don't know if there is a special software program out there to make it compatible with the s4. But had a nite one and so i miss the pen oart of the program. I got two brand new s-pens from att with the holders wish are exoensive and estimated it at $99.99 each so i really hate to waste them. I suppose i can hi to att and sell them back and use the credit towards something else. But if you know if there's a way to use them with the Galaxy S4 please don't hesitate to let me know . I woukd greatly appreciate any feedback you can give me!

should i root my AT&T Galaxy s4 on 4.3 or no?? just need some suggestions! if yeah, can you post a link to that thread for me maybe please
Why not look for the all things mk2 thread in the general section. With the full Odin we can easily restore to stock without tripping the Knox flags.

Depends on what you want to root it for.
