I actually searched this in depth and much to my surprise, I didn't find much. Odd.
I've got an ATT GS4 with the NC1 loaded. I'm rooted and ready to go after downloading a few files following instructions:
Code:
Files you will need on ExtSdCard before starting:
-- Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk from here
-- ROM Install Zip (check ROM notes... may need to replace updater-script)
-- ATT_NC1_Modules.zip from here
-- UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip from here
ALL 4.4.2 ROM installs starting with rooted NC1:
0. Root and install safestrap v3.72
1. Copy remaining files above to extSdCard
2. Reboot into Safestrap Recovery
3. Wipe... Advanced Wipe... everything except extSdCard
4. Install... 4.4.2 ROM
5. Install... ATT_NC1_Modules.zip (to fix wifi)
6. Install... UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip (to keep root)
7. Reboot
8. Check APN settings and configure if necessary
I never got to the end because when I installed Safestrap, I chose "install recovery" and it went all the way to 100% and said the install was a success but for "state" it says "not installed".
Not sure what's going on. I do note that on the SafeStrap thread, it only mentions NB1 but I assumed that was the same as NC1 functionally.
I have SuperSU installed and Safestrap is listed in the apps section.
Like I said, I'm surprised I didn't find more info on this upon my searching.
Ive tried:
uninstall safestrap and superSU
reinstall
reboot multiple times in-between
Something odd that happened after I uninstalled superSU - I resbooted and what came up was a warning screen with yellow writing that warned me about installing alternative OS's. It asked if I wanted to install an alternative OS and I chose "NO" and it booted normally. Not sure where that screen came from or what it was. I never saw it again.
You need to set selinux to permissive mode and then you should be able to install safestrap recovery. Use selinuxmodechanger app for that
what's up with this software? anyone got 3.72b working on NB1?

how are you loading the the roms? Is it threw one of the numbered slots or in the stock one? I don't wanna mess too much with the stock one but if it's the only one that work's then I guess i might give it a try.

At the time of this, I had not installed any roms. This thread was because I could not get safestrap installed.

Not sure of a thread for that. However, last night I installed over top of my stock slot. Apparently, KitKat does not allow flashing to "rom slot 1-4" so, I just did a full backup in safe strap, then wiped the stock slot and installed over top of it. worked fine.
I had rooted my phone using the downgrade method a while back (MK2 -> NB1?) For whatever reason, I decided I wanted to flash a clean ROM. I went ahead and flashed I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin and rooted with Towelroot (I never wiped cache or data with Safestrap before...completely forgot about it). I am now on rooted NB1 with superuser installed, however Safestrap refuses to install. After I install the recovery, even though it states the installation was complete, the status of Safestrap is still "Not Installed".
Did I make a booboo by not wiping/uninstall safestrap beforehand? Is the old version and the new conflicting? halp
Unistall the recovery using the previous version of the app and then install the new version

What seems to be a very simple and on the surface recovery mode for phones with locked bootloaders.
SELinux Mode Changer solved my problem.

If you are on MDL build, you don't need it. You can read up on it in Development, HashCode has a thread there--
Ok, after my last attempt to follow the instructions and spending over a full day with a bricked phone, I don't trust myself to do it again.
But I refuse to let the bloatware have its way...
So if someone can work me through the process to installing an easy, basic ROM I would highly appreciate it.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy s4. i337. AT&T service, and it's on stock right now. 4.4.2. That's all I can tell you, I think it's Mk2 but I'd like to be able to find a way to MAKE SURE, before I screw anything up.
I have Odin, and I'm about to root my phone. If anyone will help me I'd greatly appreciate it!
i don't think you need odin anymore since towel root. i'm fairly certain it is just root, install safestrap, flash rom, flash root and carrier modules enjoy. goldeneye is a really nice rom for these phones with all the bloat removed and a few nice tweaks and addons.
exactly what i did last time, i flashed the new goldeneye with safestrap and it was brick city for 24 hours...
everything went fine and then it went into a bootloop when it tried to restart
First thing I'd do is read through this more than once http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227
Then I'd update to nc1 firmware, root with towelroot, then install safestrap 3.72

is there no way to just upgrade from where I am now? really would take an inferior rom over having to upgrade firmware before I...upgrade firmware.....
also how do I tell for sure what I'm on now?

Damani311-
You're on NB1 stock ROM, but I bet your baseband is actually NC1, based on the description here and in our PMs about your current status.
Like JD said, you can go into the phone's settings, and see if it takes the OTA update to NC1. That's the easiest way to get there. Alternatively, you can download the NC1 update zip file (from here) and flash it in the stock recovery. You get into stock recovery by starting with power off, and doing a power/home/upvolume start up. In there, there are options to install update from SD card. See the All things ATT & related links for the details. It's handy to have that NC1 updater zip. It's just an update that needs to be applied on top of NB1... it's not a replacement for starting with NB1.
Then, root with towel root. Install SuperSU from play store and let it disable knox. (may need to reboot phone after installing SuperSU if it hangs). Install SELinux Mode Changer from play store and set to permissive. Install SafeSTrap (from here). Note, there seems to be a zip file with lots of these goodies pre-included as a variant of the NC1 zip, at the same location quoted above. I haven't used that version, but it's probably fine.
Boot to safestrap. Very important: THOROUGHLY WIPE THE SYSTEM BEFORE FLASHING THE ROM. This means go into advanced wipe and wipe everything but the external SD card. Some folks say do it three times... seems to me there's a problem if doing it once doesn't work...
Then while still in safestrap recovery flash the GoldenEye ROM to the stock slot (our version of Safestrap only supports the stock slot). When it flashes, it brings up the Aroma installer. Choose the ATT / Safestrap options. When it finishes DO NOT DO NOT!! reboot. Exit the installer without letting it reboot and go back to safestrap. Some people recommend wiping the cache/dalvik caches again after flashing the rom (but of course you wouldn't wipe system at this point!).
While still in SafeStrap recovery:
-Flash SuperSU.zip file. (from here)
-Then flash the NC1 modem zip file (from here).
-Finally flash the I337 build.prop/APN zip (from here) . You could also manually enter the APN info (from the All Things ATT 1st post) but it is unclear to me whether GoldenEye properly identifies the phone build.prop entries with everything needed to be able to download all the I337 apps. I used the zip file and everything worked out great.
That's the overview. Detailed instructions are in the various threads. It sounds awfully complex but once you've done it a few times it all makes sense and is easy. But forgetting to do the wipes, or omitting SuperSu or any of the little details can cause a failure.
Takes ~5-10 mins for first boot, as I recall. I was nervous when it took so long. I left it, started cooking dinner, came back in a bit, it was done.
Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

wow awesome dude thanks a ton!
got to the part after installing safestrap, where it's time for goldeneye
which version of the rom should i use? the newest one got me in big trouble last time?
and so I'm going to need 4 zip files on my phone before i flash ROM?
Flash Goldeneye
-Flash SuperSU.zip file. (from here)
-Then flash the NC1 modem zip file (from here).
-Finally flash the I337 build.prop/APN zip
?
If so i'll proceed.....thanks again
I'm using Golden Eye v36. However, I've seen folks saying v38 (current) is good too... not sure where the problem cropped up with your last attempt so I can't speculate what the problem was.
And you're right, there should be 4 zip files on your SD card. The ROM, SuperSU, NC1 module, and the ATT APN/BuildProp file, which may not be necessary but worked fine for me.
alright looks like I'm up and running! wifi doesnt work, I think that's the only issue I can detect so far.........
WiFi fail usually fixed by flashing module matching your baseband. If nc1 module doesn't fix it, try nb1.

i was hoping that was it, but it didn't get it....shoot
thanks for helping me out here
i flashed the jfleatt nb1 modules, btw
I'm out of ideas, sorry! Maybe start a thread about module not restoring WiFi after flash. My one relevant data point is that once, instead of Odin NB1 then flash NC1 update, I odined the rootable NB1. After that I did safestrap and flashed a ROM plus modules. I was never able to get WiFi no matter what I flashed. Odined back to regular NB1 then did NC1 update. Flashed ROM and modules again... Success. I assume kernel (locked on nc1 for me) has to interact with ROM and module. Improper match causes fail. Are you certain of what baseband you have?

Damani311,
Were you able to sort out the WiFi? Poking around the internet it does seem like permission issues are often at root of it, and the Selinux Mode Changer mentioned above (set to permissive) might be the solution.
Good luck! :good:
I think he is sorted based on posts on other threads. Maybe he will let us know--:good:
In just a couple of words, here's a basic overview of the ROM-flashing process:
- Root using Towelroot
- Install SuperSU
- Install Safestrap
- Download ROM
- Download modules
- Flash both
- Reboot
- Enjoy
Just make sure that whatever firmware you're on matches the ROM and modules (ex. NB1 users flash NB1 ROMs or MK2 ROMs and NB1 modules)
Best of luck! :good::good::good:
Appreciate your reply, but think OP is sorted and never came back--

Safestrap does not work
Hi, this is my first time ask for help. I have verizon samsung galaxy s4 and currently with hyperdrive 18.1 and safestrap 3.75. For some reason, I found my safesrtrap does not work. I touch the screen, nothing happened. I lock screen and swip to unlock, nothing happened. Feel like touch screen does not work. Could anybody help me? Thanks

Splash screen shows after apk removal of SS 3.75
I have read numerous threads and can not find a clearly define method for removing all traces of safe strap 3.75 if there is one kindly point me to it.
device VZW Note 3, running Kit kat, rooted via geohot towelroot method, Su pro version 1.99
1. I have removed SS by uninstalling recovery then uninstalling the app.
2. On initial start up no safe strap screen.
3. On reboots "custom "pad lock shows as if Safe Strap is still installed.
4.After Safe Strap apk removal SU binaries wont update either even after the 5 reboots attempts
I have seen the manual remove method for SafeStrap versions 3.62 and lower:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh.bin /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh
rm -rf /system/etc/safestrap
rm /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
ln -s /firmware/image/q6.mdt /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
mount -o remount,ro /system
Can I do this manually for the 3.75 version of safe strap? I just want to remove all traces of safe strap (all splash screens ) and update SU binaries post its removal.
Thanks!
Backups being removed
I installed SafeStrap 3.75 on my s5 and it runs, and says it backs up properly to the sd card, but when I reboot back into Android, the backup file is no where to be found. The TWRP folder on the sdcard is empty. Does anyone know why the file would that it exists inside safestrap, but disappear after reboot?
I've got NCG installed, I've rooted, installed SuperSU, Installed the latest busybox and I've installed and run sdfix to fix the permissions on the SD Card, yet every backup I make is removed from the sd card.
It DOES backup successfully to the internal device storage, thoughts?

Verizon Galaxy S5 Safestrap and NI2 ROMS
Hello everyone,
First time poster, long time lurker.
I usually just lurk until I find the answers to my questions. I figured I can become an active member of the community now.
I have a rooted Galaxy S5 running on the NCG build. I want to install a custom ROM using Safestrap 3.75. Then I want to install Optimal ROM which is running on NI2. For which I believe I will have to install the NI2 firmware tar.
What exactly is the NI2 firmware tar (is this the kernal)? And if I install it, will it remove root (I'm logically assuming no but I need some confidence on the quesion)?
Much appreciated!
safestrap help!
i have a verizon galaxy s5, model number sm-g900v, android version 4.4.4, baseband version ending in ank2, kernel version 3.4.0, build number ending in ank2. i have flashed back to baseband NCG via odin v3.09, rooted via towelroot, verified root via root check lite, flashed back to baseband version ending in ANK2 via odin v3.09, verified root via root check lite, installed superSU by chainfire, installed busybox by jrummy apps inc, installed titanium backup and performed backup.... so my question is, will the current safestrap for verizon gs5 work with my phone? the thing that kinda worries me is the link >> Safestrap-KLTEVZW-NCG-3.75-B03.apk<< shows "NCG". does this mean NCG and up or NCG only? if it means NCG only, where is the ANK2 safestrap? what are my options for a recovery?

Are you saying that you are able to access the safestrap recovery while running the 5.0 kernel? All reports state that ss will no longer work on the 5.0 kernel.
That's what I have found myself that ss is a no go on 5.0 hopefully someone finds a work around, I can't boot into stock recovery

The ss recovery will work on a 5.0 build by downgrading the kernel back to nk2.
But can/can't run 5.0 on nk2 kernel?

EDIT: First of all, thanks for the responses. Second of all, I messed up. I ran a script that I found online called root.sh (I can't link anything until I get to 10 posts). I used that and it didn't work and unrooted me. I tried rebooting my phone(worst idea every) and now it's in a bootloop. I don't think I have root access and I've tried a factory reset. I didn't get any custom recovery and my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I have no idea how to get out of this. Any help is 100% appreciated.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but, I couldn't find a section for the M919V. So I recently rooted my Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V running lollipop 5.0.1 using the PC version of Kingoroot. I've been looking for a way to replace Kingo Superuser with SuperSu. I can only seem to find anything about replacing Kinguser/Kingroot (not Kingo Superuser). I would keep Kingo Superuser but, after a reboot it doesn't allow any apps to use root access even though it says it is. I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling Kingo Superuser and waiting then it finally fixes by it's self (currently it's broken) . SuperSu-Me says I don't have Kingroot (once again, not Kingoroot). I've also tried a script but, once again, it didn't work. I know next to nothing about the inner workings of android phones so please keep any answers simple please.
Flash custom recovery.
Flash SuperSU.
Can't get any simpler.
The sgh-m919v is basically the same phone as the T-mobile S4. The sgh-m919v was issued by Canadian varriers that run an AWS network: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919V/
The t-mobile s4 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
Here's what I would do: flash a stock ROM via Odin to bring the phone back to a stock state and then root using cfautoroot if you want stock recovery or flash TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP.
First of all, thanks for the responses. Second of all, I messed up. I ran a script that I found online called root.sh (I can't link anything until I get to 10 posts). I used that and it didn't work and unrooted me. I tried rebooting my phone(worst idea every) and now it's in a bootloop. I don't think I have root access and I've tried a factory reset. I didn't get any custom recovery and my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I have no idea how to get out of this. Any help is 100% appreciated.
Flash the stock ROM.

Now, if you still want SuperSU, flash CF-Auto-Root.
