Followed guide for safestrap AT&T, only part that I might have messed up was when flashing modules zip and it says to pull battery, I pulled after it booted to safestrap, I never got success or passed message, I then flashed partitions and it booted after 15 minutes or so but WiFi isn't working and I'm getting random restarts, like I clicked home button and just restarted. Also when I tried opening stock messaging app, screen would just flash like a soft reboot but nothing would open. After few tries text app did open. Any ideas what to do? Thanks
Update:
this has turned into a PIA, lost root, safestrap wont boot into recovery anymore it just keeps showing safestrap boot screen when i press recovery. wifi wont turn on and tried factory reset as well. also tried reflashing oc3 kernel mod zip again and still no wifi.
Any ideas on what is causing wifi to not even attempt to turn on when i hit the toggle? I saw something about needing to flash safestrap modules after installing rom on verizon models....lost.... thanks for any help
There are a couple of things you need. You can find the links in the thread just search for them. But you need the flashable zip for the oc3 kernel and the apk for nc1 flasher. Then after you run nc1 you'll boot directly into safestrap. Then in safestrap you can flash your modules to get wifi working.
As far as root goes, goldeneye is funny, it comes prerooted but in supersu settings you have to select grant supersu automatically because it won't prompt for SU access.
Hope this helps.

I cannot get root back on 4.4.2 at all on FNB8 (after OTA update)
Tried using Odin 3.07 and 3.09 with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
There are no errors, it reboots, goes through the small setup, reboots again yet no root. Also tried installing SuperSU zip through recovery. Still no errors but no super su on phone.
Anyone know where I'm going wrong?
EDIT: Also, just to confirm - I have checked with a root checker - there is no root
i always just use the option in philz recovery to restore root, then either install supersu app through recovery zip or install it form the play store.
it's under philz settings, then restore root

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have CWM touch, is it OK to just install over it or do I need to remove it first somehow?
just flash the latest philz using odin. whenever you flash a recovery it replaced the whole recovery partition i believe.
Tried rooting with Philz, it went through OK. Booted into OS, downloaded Super SU. Still not root
EDIT: Sorry Gloris, I got philz working, edited just before you made that next reply.
weird, i've never had that so not sure what to suggest. just to be clear, you got to download mode and flashed philz and all went fine in odin?
and just to be sure....try removing battery for 30 seconds, then insert battery and press and hold home key and volume UP while pressing power button (I tend to keep all 3 buttons pressed until i see the "se android is not enforcing" message and it's booting into recovery.
::EDIT::
no problem, did you get root working also? i've attached the zip that i flash after choosing restore root option in philz......i didn't make this zip, so not takign any credit or anything, jsut sharing it because it might be useful.
i generally prefer my device non rooted, but i use this method to quickly restore root to apply any rom changes then full unroot from within super su app. I found it's the easiest way to gain root access (works for me even from a fresh rom install too).
I recently had to replace my phone through warranty and so now I'm new to Safestrap.
So please bare with me!
So what I am trying to do is root my phone keep the stock lollipop and put Xposed on but when I flash Xposed my phone gets stuck on AT&T.
The other day I ended up trying something different and yes Xposed work but I was getting gasps and google play not wroking.
Here are my steps for when my phone gets stuck on AT&T ( These are also my notes for me that I keep and follow)
1. Odin through computer and put I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.
2. Once installed and gone through set up steps, installed Towelroot, and Root Phone.
3. Install Super User. (Sometimes after it disables Knox it requires to reboot or If disabling Knox takes WAY too long get out of app press menu key and close out all apps and clear ram. Re open super su and it will disable Knox and no reboot is required)
4. Install Flash Fire.
5. Flashed - I337_OC3_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM.zip through Flash Fire (Flash Zip or OTA). Once it tries to restart for about 10-20 minutes there will be AT&T logo.
6. Once installed and gone through set up steps again, install Busy Box, Safestrap, & NC1 Flasher.
7. In Safestrap app - clicked on Install Recovery
8. NC1 app - Flashed and reboot.
9. Safestrap loads up.
10. Wipe Factory reset
11. Install ATT_OC3_modules
12. Install I337_Stock_OC3_kernel_recovery_flashable and then reboot. Again AT&T logo sits for about 10 - 20 minutes and I do a battery pull.
13. Install Flash Fire and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
14. Flash xposed-v74-sdk21-arm.zip through Flash Fire.
15. The phone will sit at the AT&T logo for ever. I do a battery pull and still the same thing. Will not Boot up.
I DON’T THINK THIS IS PROCESS IS RIGHT BUT XPOSED DID WORK AND GASPS AND GOOGLE PLAY STOPPED WORKING.
-Note the Colored lines is what I did differently from up above
1. Odin through computer and put I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.
2. Once installed and gone through set up steps, installed Towelroot, and Root Phone.
3. Install Super User. (Sometimes after it disables Knox it requires to reboot or If disabling Knox takes WAY too long get out of app press menu key and close out all apps and clear ram. Re open super su and it will disable Knox and no reboot is required)

13. Install I337_Stock_OC3_kernel_recovery_flashable and then reboot. Again AT&T logo sits for about 10 - 20 minutes and I do a battery pull.
14. Install Flash Fire and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
15. Flash xposed-v74-sdk21-arm.zip through Flash Fire.
16. The phone will sit at the AT&T logo for ever. I do a battery pull and still the same thing. Will not Boot up.
17. Battery Pull and go into Recovery Mode.
18. Wipe Clean and then Installed I337_OC3_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM.zip
19. I believe this is the time when it was able to restart the phone. Xposed work but got GASPS and GOOGLE not working.
I have also tried to install Xposed through Safestrap but I believe it didn't work.
I know this is long but I've finally been trying to keeps notes on what and how I've been doing this.
Can someone Please help me with this process?
You need to sdk22 version of xposed for the S4.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app
Actually you need the unofficial xposed for tw, look here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
Unless the official xposed works now, I haven't checked the thread lately.
I had the same problem. After some trial and error and many bootloops later, I found the right files. I've attached the ones I use. I use GoldenEye ROM, but it should work on OC3 Deodexed ROM too.
My SGS4 i9505 (Intl.) is running CyanogenMod 13.0, specifically cm-13.0-20160114-NIGHTLY-jfltexx with Gapps flashed.
I also have TWRP 2.8.7 installed on Recovery.
My phone had been working perfectly until this evening. I opened SuperSU app (which I downloaded from Play Store) and a message popped up saying i had to install SuperSU binary Normally or using TWRP/CWM. Normal Install popped up an error message, so I downloaded the zip from download.chainfire.eu (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46). Then saved it on my SD card and flashed it through TWRP.
After the installation-flashing was complete, I tapped on Reboot->System and since then I am stuck on loading screen.
Is there a way to undo the flashing (Don't care about SU, just want my data unharmed)?
What did I do wrong so as to avoid doing it next time?
Please help as soon as possible,
Thanks in advance.
no hope you needed to backup your data and format your phone anyway
CM13 is already rooted. You need to enable developer options and then enable root access under developer options.
Just dirty flash your phone with the cm13 zip and you should be fine.
Also remember twrp at times needs a shock treatment (in my language)
When your at the samsung logo which comes before the booting and it has been a while..just pull tbe battery out and after 30 seconds put it back and turn the phone on
Things should be fine.
Hi,
If you need SuperSU on CM13, use SuperSU 2.56 or newer.

Hello!
I have spent around 5-6 hours tonight fixing my phone. Before it had CM13 working just fine but my recovery didn't work (got an error when trying to enter recovery). I manged to solve that problem by doing lots of things I have already forgotten about now and to be honest I didn't really have any idea what I was doing as I am very new to this and have no knowledge about it.
Right now my CM13 works just fine. No problems booting. My recovery works just fine. I have CAF bootstack and the latest TWRP recovery that was mentioned in the guide. However, my SuperSU doesn't want to work properly. At first, I had to download the SuperSu app from Play Store. I don't know if that's how it is supposed to be. When I start the app it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?". I press Continue and it says "If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary?". I have two options: "NORMAL" and "TWRP/CWM". If I press "NORMAL" it proceeds to installing and the circle is spinning and spinning... "Installing, please wait..." After about 30 seconds it says "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again". Rebooting and trying again doesn't help. If I try the TWRP/CWM option it reboots me into TWRP Recovery but nothing happens there. If I reboot system from recovery the problem remains. I googled a bit and found some thread where they said I needed to download some SuperSU zip-file and install it from recovery. I did that but that just broke it even more giving me some error saying SuperSu wasn't installed at all, or something like that. I ended up re-rooting the device and installing bootstack, CM, and GAPPS again.
I have enabled root access in the CM developer options menu, for both apps and ADB. I have downloaded Root Checker and it says i am rooted. In download mode it also says rooted.
Is there some step I have missed? Please help me. I just want CM13, Recovery, and SuperSU to all be working at the same time. Not just pick two, like I have done before.
I had the same problem on my d802. That thing you did in development settings worked for me. Is supersu so neccesary?
So I flash the metro stock rom, I flashed CF auto root for it, and it is fully functional with SuperSu. When I try flashing twrp using its official app and go into recovery it won't let me swipe or anything. I redo the process flashing the stock rom and CF. When I try flashing twrp with Rashr app it has a different recovery file name, I flash it and when I reboot into twrp it actually works and I'm able to swipe and stuff. I flash the xposed zip file for Android 5.0 or higher (Lollipop/Marshmallow), it says it works, but when it reboots it gets stuck on the metro logo screen, doesn't keep vibrating, it's just frozen on that screen. Can anyone direct me towards a link with instructions on how to properly installed xposed or can someone please help me here. I've search far and wide for a working method, but everyone seems to just be around the topic not actually answering whether it is possible or not. Thank you.
