I have Safestrap on my SM-G950U that's on v5 bootloader and I try to use rom slots other than stock on safestrap and a kernel panic happens. I can boot into stock just fine but I want to have multiple roms on my phone. Can you help?

Hello out there. I have a strange situation with my AT&T Galaxy S4 with Safestrap 3.71. I have rooted and installed Safestrap, downloaded a ROM, flashed it successfully, but for some reason when I switch to ROM slot 1 (this is where I flashed it) I get a black screen and my phone just reboots. What did I do wrong? I have been trying to use Safestrap for a while now, and every version of Safestrap and ROM that I tried flashing ended up like this. I always wipe everything before flashing to prevent a dirty flash. I tried with the MF3 firmware and the result it the same with the new MK2 firnware. Also, I am always able to switch back to the stock ROM slot and it boots without a problem. I would greatly appreciate some input. Thank you.
Had this same problem, my ROM slot size wasn't big enough to flash the rom as I didnt have enough space. It would flash but then end with unable to mount /system and i'd bootloop upon reboot. I freed up space and DELETED the ROM slot 1. Then remade it and adjusted the ROM slot memory size. No more unable to mount /system and booted up into SHOstock 3.0 rom on MK2. Had to go back and wipe after flashing the ROM to get rid of force closes. Didnt touch stock slot

What ROM are you trying to flash? For MK2 safestrap you can only flash a TW based rom running 4.3, any other roms that are not TW based and are not on 4.3 will now work.

Hyperdrive rom/ infamous roms are my go to for my s4 on safestrap. You could also use the GPE roms if i am not mistaken.

You can't flash gpe Roms on 4.3 due to a different kernel. Tried flashing a bunch of gpe Roms already none work.

Ah I see, sorry. I thought you could since I was able to flash Eclipse GPE on 4.2.2.
Increase cache to 600 megabytes. No roms I flashed ran until I changed it.

Hello I am having the same problem. I was able to load up SHOstock v3 the safestrap version once. Then I tried Hyperdrive and that worked as well. Now I can not get SHOstock to load again. I just get a black screen that lasts seemingly forever. I have tried up'ing the cache, up'ing the data partition, I have tried different slots, I have tried uninstalling safestrap recover and the install apk and re-downling. I cannot get anything to load. Has anyone had this happen to them and figured out what to do?

Hi Guys I'm trying to install a custom Rom on my phone but have failed 4 times now and have to reach out to the forum for help. I'm on 4.4.2 ota and have rooted w/ towel root sucessfully, installed safestrap 3.72 and 3.75, busybox and super su. I advance wipe and do a clean install. Everytime it says it was successful but when I reboot the screen goes black and does noting. The phone remains on but nobodys home. I've tried the Jasmine rom and the alliance rom with the same results. I used odin to go back to stock but I want a custom rom. Can anybody help? I've attached a screenshot of my about phone. Also can anybody recommend a Rom that helps with the signal/gps issues that started after KK?
Thanks in Advance!

You need to flash the NC2 kernel via odin. File and instructions can be found here. When following the steps in the OP you can substitute the rom you want for the one you can download from the post.
Also incase you didn't see it in the Safestrap OP you will only be able to use the stock rom slot, if trying to flash on a created slot it won't boot properly or at all (rom slots are only supported on NC2 firmware and previous, the ota is NC4).
Hope this helps.
That's great thank you very much for your help!
Do I just flash the kernal over my stock rom?

To be safe you might want to flash the rooted stock rom provided in the post I linked earlier. That rom is the NC4 stock with pre-root and a couple other tweaks Basically the same as OTA but better. Just follow the steps in the OP and you'll be good to go (if you haven't already).
thank you
My pleasure.
Ok I'm sorry I'm still confused. The OP doesn't say to flash with Odin anywhere it says flash with Safe strap. Do I flash the firmware with Odin first then Rom?

Anything firmware, kernel or modem related must be flashed in Odin as long as we have a locked bootloader. Just follow the steps as instructed and you'll be fine.

I have a jflteatt on NB1 4.4.2.
Apparently I've having issues with flashing a custom rom
I tried Safestrap flashing and the only I got is boot loops; then I switch to CWM and still the same result.
I wonder is this because of the stock rom or some other reasons?

Stick with safestrap
The only time I get boot loops or won't pass the boot screen is because either incompatible rom. Look here for compatible roms,

Or because you need to flash our carriers lernel. Look here,

Hi all,
Working with a AT&T NC1 safestrap phone. Having problems getting any custom rom to boot. Phone usually shows white on black Samsung logo for a few second then restarts, sometimes into stock recovery.
Detailed below is my method, and methods tried with same result. Perhaps someone can see the error of my ways.
I have been trying to start fresh.... so:
1) Odin I337UCUFNB1_TWRootable_Full_Odin.tar.md5
2) Do not boot, Download mode and flash 2400258.zip
3) Install tr, and SS 3.72
4) Reboot into recovery, install Hyperdrive 18.1 or Gravitron S4 3.2 for SS, then flash SuperUser then NC1 module.
No matter what, I cannot get a rom to boot. Just hangs at Samsung logo
Other methods tried:
1) Using I337_NB1toNC1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip and/or I337_NB1toNC1_KeepRoot_OTAwBL.zip to flash to NC1 before custom rom (after Odin NB1) (instead of 2400258.zip)
2) Using NB1 Odin Files from Magic Tool BL,AP,CP before flash of custom rom, tried also after flashing custom rom
3) flashing NB1 stock kernel
4) flashing NC1 stock kernel
Tried maybe 30 or 40 times, cannot get a custom Rom to boot. To be clear, stock boots just fine whenever i Odin back and upgrade to NC1.
Anyone out there insightful enough to lend a hand? More detailed instructions than on INDEX ALL THINGS POST? See my mistake? Losing my mind just a little bit, flashing the days away...
Any help greatly appreciated!
Are you trying to flash a custom ROM in the STOCK slot? Or a second slot?
I do NOT have safestrap but I know I have read you HAVE TO flash Roms in the STOCK Slot for it to work.

Is your ROM SafeStrap Compatible?
Yes indeed. Tried a variety of them off the safe strap compatible page. I feel there is something I am missing but not sure what. I have been wiping data, davliche, cache, and system each time. Is this correct?
I have recetly installed oc3 stock rooted 5.0.1 in my sgh i337 .Im getting delay in sending and receiving msgs sometimes even with full signal bar. Before i was using i9505 custom rom (already installed when purchased ) then i returned it to stock myself. Any way to get back custom rom of 9505 ..i have no issue of msgs on that version. Plz help
EDIT: Can I install this Golden eye--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469
Not possible ? :/ :crying:
Yes you can install that rom, you will need to use the safestrap method. There is a link in the op of the GE thread, as long as you follow that exactly, you should be in good shape.

Yes, there is a flashable kernel in the nc1 flasher op. When you are selecting the files to flash in safestrap, select the kernel as the final zip. After the rom flashes, uncheck the reboot box and safestrap will flash the remaining zips. When all zips are flashed select reboot system, and wait. The first boot can take up to twenty minutes.
When it starts to boot the safestrap screen will pop up a couple of times. This is"normal", don't touch it or it won't progress. This happens with each reboot unless safestrap is removed.
