Hi everyone, so I finally have my 32gb i337 rooted and with safestrap 3.72 beta. I need help in finding the best most stable NB1 and safestrap beta safe rom to install that can give me two most important tmobile features witch are wifi calling and mobile hotspot. I did not have any luck with the guy who helped me with it remotely, he was very pushy, impatient and inconsistent when communicating. We tried installing shostock and gravitan rom but they appeared to not wanna install. As of now I learned how to use the safestrap alone and will no longer need his assistance anymore (thank God, guy had me stressed with his tone of voice) so all I need is a good compatible rom with my system and I should be good to go. I find it strange tho that the first attempts of installing didn't do anything. Could something had blocked the install? After Some Close observation I noticed that after the attempted flashing the Samsung logo would be circling slow and in one attempt at flashing there was just a boot loop. The guy was not a help at all cause as i said earlier he just seemed like a miserable person who lives his life agitated. Add of now I have root and the stock backup is working flawlessly, as always help from you masters is greatly appreciated.

I have a Galaxy S4 Smart(DUMB) AT&T connected piece of crap cell phone that I hate.

I'm barely able to follow 1/10th of the postings that I've read!
Look, I just want to jailbreak & FREE-UP this F%#King phone so I can get rid of the constant pop-ups & 300+ apps that R running in the background!

Removing SELinux
Once I've installed SS 3.75, is it safe to remove SELinux Mode changer?

The ss app may force close if you remove it. But you no longer need mode changer at all if using the latest ss v3.75-A01.
Thanks!
Which Safestrap for Bell/Virgin Galaxy S4 NE1 4.4.2
I have a Galaxy S4 SCH-I337M with stock 4.4.2 LUFNE1
I rooted with towel root and installed super user.
I want to install safestrap (I assume my bootloader is locked bc is says write protected when in download mode)
I dont see any versions for NE1 just NB1,MK2,MF3, not sure where to proceed from here.
safestrap i337 nj4
Does safestrap work on i337 on nj4? If so, which version? I have never rooted and am on latest 4.4.4 nj4.
Safestrap on NE2(Telcel Mexico)
I didnt notice the automatic updates on my new S4 and it upgraded over the night while i was sleeping, so now im stuck with 4.4.2 (KOT49H.I337MUMUFNE2) ... I was wondering if there is support for safestrap with this rom, or is there a way to downgrade without loosing 4G and WiFi.
Thanks.
Edit:
Greetings, i have installed safestrap 3.72 and succesfully made a rom slot in my phone, saddly, when i try to install a ZIP file with a custom ROM, it says it succescully installed the ROM and then when i try to restart, it boots with a clone of the main stock ROM ... Any idea why this is happening?. Also i must point out that im trying to install Cyanogen Mod 11, the lastest nightly for the jflte ... Im wondering if i should try with the version for the jflteatt.
any updates for this thread on using 4.4.4 NJ4?
Hey first great work this is my first post so i apologize if this has been answered or if this thread is no longer valid. My question is does SafeStrap work for NJ4 4.4.4?
Yes...I'm on ss 375 with 444
Lollipop support?
I know that it might be a huge effort, but what is required to support lollipop?
Looks like users with TWRP can flash some kernels as long as they are based in the stock kernel and still in locked bootloader.
Looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292341, ktoonsez was able to to provide kernel for AOSP lollipop using CWM or TWRP. Can this also be done for Safestrap?
This might also require ROM modifications to support safestrap, but again, what is required.
I have some basic-medium programming skills and relatively new to Android but willing to collaborate for whatever is required, just point me to the info I need to learn and I'll do my best to help.

If you have true TWRP, that means you have an exploitable bootloader, even if it's still locked. The only way you could get lollipop on a stock kernel for Safestrap users is if we get an official Lollipop stock kernel. If you've got evidence to say otherwise, sharing would be good. Otherwise, Safestrap doesn't allow the flashing of kernels since they won't work, and the only other possibility is using a kexec module to load an alternate kernel from disk after the phone starts up. This module is actually being worked on, and if you want to ask about it go to the verizon S4 General section and look for the "if we are serious" thread.
Bootloop when using ROM slots?
I've attempted to use the recovery several times now. If I use the Stock ROM slot to flash the ROM (Goldeneye v49.2) I can't get back into SS recovery once it flashes. If I use the ROM slots, I get stuck in a very laggy bootloop. PLEASE HELP?
I'm using Galaxy s4 SGH-I337 on 4.4.2
Baseband version UCUFNB1
NK1 wi-fi modules.zip (Safestrapped Hyperdrive MOD installed) which one?
Hi, I've got an sch-i545 verizon gs4 with Hyperdrive Rom running on it (yay!) but need the Modules.zip file for NK1, which seems to be the least used version of Verizon's locked bootloader phones.
If you or someone could point me towards a modules.zip for NK1?
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!!!

Best place to start would be the Verizon S4 forums and not the AT&T S4 section. Look for any index type threads or something there.
Guys. I need some help. I just installed Safestrap 3.75 on my S4 but when I boot into recovery the time is all wrong its off by like an hour and 20 min. Time zone is correctly set. Anyone have any ideas?

If you are using a retail S5 (locked bootloader) then you can only use the ROMs in Veriszon S5 Android Development and NOTHING ELSE.. that means no Unified section. If you have a Developer Edition, then you'll have to ask in the ROM threads where you're having trouble.
EDIT: Just found the safestrap thread for Verizon here ... Please disregard my post until further notice ...
I had little problems customizing my old Tmobile Note but this Verizon Note 3 seems to be a different beast altogether ...
I am rooted and want to install SafeStrap which I understand is the only custom recovery for our phones ... but I have no idea where to find the right version of SafeStrap for my phone (4.4.2) or how to go about installing it once I do. Yes I googled this and got some hits for S4 installation but that isn't exactly what I want ...
Any help much appreciated!
Hi guys, (sorry for the poor usage and terminology as I'm still getting acquainted with the rooting and custom rom culture)
BACKGROUND; I downgraded to Android 4.4.2 KitKat Baseband NB1, and from there rooted using towel root. This is an AT&T
SGH I337.
As stated above I'm running a rooted at&t s4 and I am trying to flash a custom rom on it. However after reading many tutorials and struggling, I've came to the conclusion that my MDL is preventing this from happening. I cannot seem to flash a rom no matter what application I use (I've tried Flashfire and TWRP with no luck) and on my most recent attempt to flash with TWRP the phone booted back to the same 4.4.2 kitkat interface and when I tried to access bootloader with home+volume up combo, a warning popped up and said secure fail kernel in the top right and in the center of the screen said "System software not authorized by AT&T found on phone." This made me come up with the conclusion that the MDL is preventing me from flashing custom roms. I've looked around and tried to find something to block the MDL, and the most common thing that pops up in the s4 forums is called Loki Doki, but I have yet to find a link that is not dead. So here I am with an s4 running KitKat which really sucks as I'm sure you guys can imagine.
That being stated, I would like some help on this and eventually be able to run a custom ROM. Any help is appreciated, Thanks !
