[Q] Safestrap compatible roms with NC4?

Is anyone aware of safestrap roms that work with NC4? I'm having trouble finding a list or anything...

It seems like BajaROM doesn't work (failed for me and apparently others). Was planning on trying JasmineROM next.

None of the current roms worked for me. (Stock TW KK 4.4.2 NC4 OTA) Rooted /w busybox, safestrap, and super su binary installed.

Jasmine rom works great. No problems here.

Hope it helps
No I was on NC 2. Downloaded and flashed jasmin rom and rebooted into Odin (download mode) and loaded nc4 firmware thru Odin 3.09

I was on NC4, no luck finding anything that is working (including Jasmine). Install seems to go OK, but when I reboot the screen stays off.

How did you install super su?

Never mind after the 9th attempt it finally stuck

You can download & install SuperSU from playstore...
Open SuperSU it will prompt you that the binary needs to be installed, click ok! It will then say failed and give the option to install it via cmw or twrp click ok! The system will now reboot to the stock recovery, exit out and reboot to safestrap. Once in safestrap choose install and go to "/cache/recovery" and select "update.zip" swipe to flash then reboot to system. Open SuperSU and now it should be working.
Lmk if this works for you...

ALL, Please DON NOT try and flash any ROM if you are coming from the Verizon OTA NC4 4.4.2 build (rooted via Towelroot)...until the ROM Developer states in the OP that it is okay to do so.
EDIT: Please refer to this thread if you are on the VZW OTA 4.4.2 or NC4 kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627

That fixed it, thanks

@JBHawaii will that method work for stock build NC4? Currently SafeStrap isn't letting NC4 flash ROM at the moment.

Yes, it will work for stock NC4. However, chainfire just released an update for Super SU via the playstore... try that first! If the binary still fails to install then try my method.

Has any one ran safestrap and check the size of the rom slot? When I do it says 0 mb available. If I am not wrong which I could be that means there is zero space to flash the rom to.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Right now SafeStrap won't let us use slot for ROM, so we can't flash anything to it

Flash NC2 Kernel in Odin
Just flash the NC2 kernel in Odin and install a rom. Just tried it out and it works!

I'm not familiar with the i337u but I'm guessing it's a Canadian variant and the bootloader is unlocked. If so root it with this

Safestrap.

Ok, I'm sorry, I'm with you now. After flashing a rom you need to flash the nc1 module to get Wi-Fi working. See the third post of this, the first spoiler.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227 Download the nc1 module and flash that in safestrap

What firmware/bootloader version are you on? I337? Most likely you're on a version where twrp or cwm will not work. Only mdb and mdl bootloaders allow a custom recovery other than safestrap.

[Q] Couple of Queries, plz help

I have acquired an S4 i337 from At&t, it's on the MF3 4.2.2, i have used towel root to root it and installed safestrap as well...
i wanted to upgrade to 4.4, should i just odin the firmware onto it by putting it into download mode? which 4.4 is best for it in terms of stability and stuff...? i think only stock touchwiz is recommended since i don't know whether it's bootloader is locked or not...
second
can i root the 4.4 through towel root easily or is there a problem with it... which in your opinion is the best for the i337? I won't be able to downgrade again yeah?

I would flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and then go from there. You can root everything including oc3. Read through this and you'll find ask your answers, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227

thank you for replying, that's very helpful. Also if i may, i need to flash 4.3 before 4.4 or just go directly towards 4.4?
since it says from any base... ?
it's just downloading the firmware (NB1) then putting the phone into download mode, start Odin and wait for the phone to reboot? that's it?

Yes it's as simple as that. Put the tar in PDA or AP slot depending on what version of Odin you're using. Only have f.reset and auto reboot checked.

Yes you can with Odin, but do your know the bootloader version of 4.2.2 you're on? If you're on mdb or mdl you probably don't want to update. On 4.2.2 you can use twrp or cwm custom recoveries and flash any roms your want. Once you're on 4.4.4 you'll be limited.

Go into setting, about device. Look at the last three characters build number. That's a good indication of what your bootloader is. If your rooted the best way is in a terminal emulator type
su
getprop ro.bootloader

Ok, mf3 already has a bootloader that you can't do much with. Definitely update to nb1 by flashing the tar file in Odin.

first of all, i wanted to thank you for your swift replies and help, you've been very generous, thank you ...
final question, is 4.4.2 a good upgrade from 4.2.2? is it worth it? i've read 4.4.2 had some issues with the S4... should i remain on 4.2 or upgrade to 4.4? what do you suggest? i've got the firmware (NB1) downloaded alongwith Odin... should i go for it?

I would. It has bug fixes and you can update to lollipop if you want. You can still have root and safestrap if you want. There really is no downside to it.

Because no exploit is avaliable if you are at our above 4.4.4
No you can't downgrade below 4.4.4
No there's nothing else you can do to get root.
