Hi, I have created about 3 slots with 3 custom roms. I am on 4.4. Each time I flash with Jasmine Rom, it works for about 2-3 days and then "Unable to mount system partition" came up when I tried to mount it again. So, the only slot that currently works is the Stock slot which I flashed with the Original De-odexed Rom.
Is there a way I can use Odin to flash with the original De-odexed Rom while removing all the slots (partitions) that Safestrap created? If so, can you give me specific instructions because I am not very good at this.
Thanks!

A. Putting just "Q" in the subject line isn't going to get you help even if you were in the right forum. You need to put a subject.
B. You are in the wrong forum. The post above links you to the correct place to start.
C. Well, I've got nothing.
Good luck.
I installed Hyperdrive on my Note 3 using Safestrap but I was advised to make a new rom slot which is only allowed to be 3gb due to the stock slot being the majority of the internal space. Is there a way to delete the stock slot to use this space? Or a way to reduce the stock slots size? Is the only option to install the custom rom on the stock slot?
Please help.
I have mine installed on my stock slot

2. Restore back up Stock Rom to open ROM slot 1-4 (optional)
3. Boot from restored slot to ensure functionality (optional)
4. Wipe Stock Slot (no dev support for dirt flashes)

I have ATT i337
It was originally on NB1, when I rooted, safestrap and installed phoenix rom. It worked great until I decided to flash Omega. So i did a nandroid backup. According to Omega, I had to flash:
Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
Modems XXUFNC9 -> I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems.tar
Those failed for me, but I was still able to use my phone normally. I was told I just needed to flash the zip. I created a rom slot and tried to flash it on that. Well after a full wipe in SS 3.72 (everything except sD), I tried to flash zip, but it failed. Saying editing partitions failed. I deleted partitions and tried to flash zip on stock and still failed.
I had to ODIN to stock because phone would not boot. Rooted NB1 with towelroot, safestrap, then back into recovery to restore backup. After a 6 second restore, I rebooted, and the phone would not boot.
Odin back to NB1, upgraded to NC1, re rooted and tried to flash a new zip (phoenix rom), I am getting error editing partitions failed.
What can I do now?

1. Odin back to stock is exactly what I do when I have any issues. Good call on that one.
2. Since you are using safestrap, ignore the rom install instructions that say to flash a new modem or bootloader.
3. ROM slots do not work on safestrap v3.72. You can only flash in the stock slot.
4. If you are trying to restore your backup to the stock slot, your backup may be corrupt.
5. On your last attempt to flash the ROM, was it on stock slot or rom slot?

Actually it was saying Updating partition details and then fails. Now it says Updating partition details...

I've seen the unable to mount system message when there is an incompatibility with safestrap and your bootloader. Never seen the unable to mount data or ss.
Not really sure why it's doing that, but we can rule out a couple things. Try this...
1. Odin back to NB1 stock and take the NC1 update. Verify the bootloader is right... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51067793&postcount=4
2. If that's good, then try a different ROM, just to test. I'd recommend one from the ATT dev forum for this test to eliminate other possible issues.

I flashed Slim Rom and the flash worked, but the screen would remain black. Would not but it would start off with option to enter SS. I hit continue, and get black screen. I go into recovery, and get a black screen.

You need to be rooted. So if you have just odined and used towelroot to root your phone, you should be all set.

I was going to use one of those roms but you said original android dev so I went to that forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/orig-development
and use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561125
I am formatting my sd card, moving my files over again and restarting the process but instead I will try flashing phoenix.
On a side note- funny thing happened. I copied my whatsapp folder to the sdcard, verified everything was fine and it moved over. I also did an sms backup with the app, and moved that folder over as well. For whatever reason, the contents of just those two folders disappeared. So weird. Like a cruel joke.

Thanks for the link. Sorry, for the confusion. I just meant flash an ATT based ROM as opposed to a i9505 ROM that is compatible. Slim ROM is a nice looking ROM, but it's not going to work. Only touchwiz based ROMs work since we can't change the kernel.

I was able to flash my Rom. Everything seems to be fine now. Weird how my whatsapp folder on my SDcard had its contents erased. I will probably start a new thread about that, but I doubt anything can be done.
Many thanks guut!
Hey Fellas,
I have tried now to install 2 roms on my s5 with no luck :/ I am rooted and have safe strap installed and a nandroid of stock rom backed up on the stock rom slot. I also activated Rom slot 1. But when I go to install the zip file from my sd card or internal storage it says can not open zip??

It sounds like you have a bad download. Retry it and check the md5 with this. Download the ROM, check the md5, copy it to your extSD, reboot to SS and try again. If the ROM slot gives you problems try the stock slot. I always flash to the stock slot. The worst that will happen is you will have to Odin back to stock but most likely not if you have a backup on the extSD.
I've seen that. What version of Safestrap?
Hi my phone seems to hate custom roms like cyamogenmod and gapps because everytime i flash them a bootloop inevitably comes to haunt me. Other roms like Albe95 Ports work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-lollirom-official-1-0-t3049564
My current rom is Phoenix Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349584
The roms listed above work flawlessly.
A rom that I wanted to try was cyamogenmod 12.1 optimized by JDC team but it wouldnt boot. I followed exact instructions for each rom. Every time i used TWRP.
Could my problem be that gapps screw with the custom rom ?
Google apps are integrated in phoenix rom and albe95.
Maybe thats why they work ?
Please help.
Thank you for youre time.

You can easily test that theory by not flashing Gapps. Just only flash the rom and try to boot it.
Also are you running a Lollipop bootloader and modem?
Ive tried flashing only custom rom but the bootloop comes back. Right now i am running a lollipop modem and bootloader.

Ok do this:
Backup everything that you want to save stored on your internal storage.
1. Make sure you are running the latest TWRP. This is important because using an outdated version will not let you boot the rom.
2. Start TWRP and do a advanced wipe. Format /data (this will wipe your internal storage), format /system, format /cache and /dalvik.
3. Flash the rom.
Unfortunately that does not help. I have advanced wiped ever time before flashing rom. Maybe permisions are the problem ?

What version of TWRP are you using? And did you try booting it without simcard and sd card?
Im using 2.8.7.2 twrp. I havnt tried to boot without sd or sim. Would that be the problem ?

No idea. I'm just guessing because that rom should just boot.
Are you sure the file you downloaded is not damaged? Check the MD5 signature. For example, the latest version of the JDC CM rom has MD5:
3a1af890b87c11256c943759459ec3e4
So transfer the file to your phone. Then download a MD5 checker from the market and compare it.
Md5 matches. Looks like the insides of my phone are screwed up
Reparation your device
As those are caused by a screwed partition
As a reparation fixes this
You are going to need :-
0.a PC
1.a PIT file for your Galaxy s4 (depending on your variant)
2.Odin
3.Samsung USB drivers installed in the PC

Start with flashing the stock rom using odin. Then go for root,then recovery and then try flashing. I had the same problem but it never bothered me after flaahing the stock.
