Safestrap: Made a mistake when flashing clean rom? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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

Meaning install 3.71, uninstalling, rebooting, installing 3.72, then installing again? That didn't do anything for me

Outta the loop
Possibly stupid question, but what is Safestrap? I haven't been around here in a year or so

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--

[Q] Can't backup device. unable to mount /system

I'm relatively new to rooting and recovery.
I was on rooted 4.2.2, I took the ora and locked my bootloader like an idiot. But did manage to do the safestrap workaround and got myself up to a rooted rom of NC2. I'm finally back to a functional setup with accounts and apps where I want them. So I thought I'd do a back up in Twrp.
I deleted my old backup and the other twrp file in the directory. I tried but it failed. Gave the error...unable to mount /system.
Any tthoughts on how I could get a full backup of my system? Thanks in advance.

Install Safestrap 3.72 or flash the 4.3 kernel just to make a backup and then back to 4.4.2 kernel.

Yes. Safest way is to uninstall recovery in your current version, install the 3.72 apk, and then install. Installing the APK alone doesn't update Safestrap, you always have to hit install.

Looking for the same answer and couldnt find it so I played with terminal in safestrap AT&T i337 4.4.2 and found that you can work around in order to mount system. Go to advanced terminal select root then type mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 system rw and it works dont know yet if it allows me to fix installing to system but I did click filemanager to see if /system was mounted and it is!
EDIT: Not a fix still wont install to /system but it lets me edit files in the file manager
Dont ask me how I fixed but I did... just continue messing with it till it works

[Q] Can't update OTA 4.4.3 w/rooted stock GPE

Hi folks! I have a Galaxy S4 GPE, rooted and unlocked, but stock otherwise. When I try to run the OTA update for 4.4.3, the phone reboots into TeamWin recovery and appears to start installing. The install errors out though. Can I not install the OTA update because I'm rooted? If so, would reverting the rooting allow me to install? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Is there a thread on how to do that? I seem to remember when I installed this recovery tool to root the phone, it wiped everything. Is it going to do that again? Because I don't want to have to keep wiping my phone every time a new Android update comes out just to be rooted.

I went through that method, and it's essentially the same thing, except that I'm downloading the actual update file myself and not letting Android handle it. Needless to say it didn't work. I also updated my TWRP to 2.7.1.0 and tried; no luck. I also uninstalled SuperSU to see if removing root would help. It didn't.

Do you have the 3.75 B04 version or the B03? Is the app installed? If it is, have you opened it and installed recovery from app?
Are you installing the rom from your external sd card? I have noticed since upgrading from 3.65 that I can no longer install roms from the External sd card. If it is on the internal storage, then it works.

Okay, you are on an older version. You need to update to 3.75 B04, or if there is a newer one at this point, us it.
You will need to go to safestrap app and uninstall the current build. Then open up the apk of the new version and install it. Open the app up after install and have it install Safestrap recovery. All set and all should work again with rom slots.:good:

The last time I had a boot loop on NC2, I just reflashed the modem to get everything back. If that does not work, you may have to reflash stock MJE and start over with root and upgrade to NC2.

Ahhh, I am on NC2 so that may be why I do not experience that problem. You may have to wait for next build for it to be fixed. That is unless someone else comes up with a fix for you.
If you do just a normal reboot, and once rebooted, does Safestrap menue come up? Or does it just boot directly to the rom?

Safestrap safe system not active

Hi Folks. I followed the instructions on the ATT All Things thread to get to NC1 update, then rooted using towlroot and all that works great. I can't get SafeStrap to work using the instructions though. I can install it, click install to install recovery and it says Installation Complete but State shows Not Installed and Safe System shows not active as well. Not sure what to do from here. I see nothing on the main thread about this. When I open Rom Manager it says I have ClockworkMod and TWRP installed as well from what i can tell. Not sure what is going on here. Help appreciated. Thanks.

You mentioned that ALL Thing ATT and NC1 so you have SGH-I337 with NC1 firmware.
For NC1 firmware you can not use the CWM and TWRP anymore. The only recovery you can use is Safestrap.
Did you check your root access before you install the Safestrap.
Try to restart your phone with regular reboot (not to recovery) and see whether the safestrap pop up in the boot process.

Nothing out of the ordinary pops up during boot. Just standard Samsung & ATT splashscreens.
Also I just reset the phone, confirmed root, reinstalled safestrap and still the same. It does nothing to the phone even though it says Installation Complete.
Do I have to have the SIM in? I can't imagine I do but I currently do not. Just running off of wifi.

It was because original instruction page was written before the towlroot method.
You do not need to use that selinux change app every time you reboot unless your SE for Android status is changed.

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?
