Installing a ROM with Safestrap topic

I've looked at various forums and threads on using Safestrap, but I absolutely cannot get it to work.

I am running a rooted/busyboxed NK2 FW and I created a ROM Slot in Safestrap, installed CM11 and GApps, it says it was successful. I set ROM Slot 1 as active. When I reboot, all I get is a black screen. When I press the power button, the phone immediately vibrates (short like haptic feedback). It will do this endlessly, with a black screen, and it will not reboot.

I have to pull the battery and go back to the stock rom slot for the phone to boot.

Any ideas where I might be screwing up? What sizes should be used on ROM Slots?

[Q] Safestrap Backup Failed topic

I'm running Safestrap 3.75 on NC5 with the stock rom. Whenever I try to make a nandroid backup to either internal memory or ext. SD card, the backup always reports as "failed". However I can restore from the backup. Should I be concerned about this?

[Q] Verizon NC5 safestrap compatible roms? topic

Hey everyone. Been hanging around for awhile now but now i actually need help. I'm running Verizon GS4 NC5 with root and SS 3.75. Now that the other ROM slots work id like to be able to load one but other than some minor mods I've never really flashed anything. the main thing i have trouble with is that on here i'm unable to find and threads and/or roms that are NC5 and SS compatible. Im wondering if its because there are none yet (or under development), or im just not looking in the right places.

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

p.s: i would really really like a gpe rom, so if you come across anything relating to that that would be awesome.

HDX - Long term damage caused by running Safestrap - lack of wear levelling? topic

Hi all,
I have managed to install safestrap and a nexus rom on a 7" HDX so all appears to be working well.

I had a google and found this post: (at next post as I am not allowed to post links - you get to it by clicking here
wp.chmurka.net/?p=479
(apologies for the formatting I am a noob so cant post links)

seems to indicate that without doing some special magic (for want of a better term) which I am unwilling to do given the 'special' nature of the HDX - it will slow down over time due to a lack of wear leveling in safe strap.

Given the number of people using safestrap this may be a concern...

I keep devices for years and years (even cheap ones) so I want to make sure my kindle lasts as long as possible

Am I interpreting this right - are there any other solutions to this problem? Is it even a problem ?

I will mostly use my tablet for reading pdfs / internet browsing and running the odd app - I shouldn't accumulate a huge amount of writes on the storage - although the usual updates of android and various apps will occur.

I would appreciate informed readers views on this.

Many Thanks,
Rob

[Q] safestrap 3.75 v3 issue topic

I'm running on nc5 , rooted with towelroot, busybox is active, and set to permissive. I've been using this safestrap 3.75 v3 for a min and the only problem ive had is under rom slots my space for some reason has been only 4mb. I'm not overly concerned with that seeing as how my main slot gets me by. But now all of a sudden for the last two days no matter what I flash it results in a big red FAIL! I don't know what happened but none of my backups or any files will pass so essentially I'm screwed with safestrap and I don't have any idea of anything I did any different than usual to cause this. I have uninstalled it twice and re-installed with the same results. Can somebody help me please??? Oh yeah, it keeps telling me it cant mount "systemorig" if that helps anybody figure this out...

Assistance needed - Latest Safestrap (3.75) topic

Some other members and I are working on Safestrap for another device and I was hoping that I could recruit someone to take a log for me from Safestrap so I can compare it to our build. Basically I just need someone to boot into SS, create a new ROM slot, go back to advanced, copy log to SD, PM me the log. If someone could do me that kindness I would be much appreciative.

Thanks in advance!

Failed ROM install with ODEN v3.10 and safestrap topic

Note 3 SM-N900V
Oden 3.10
Safestrap 3.72

So, I hit the wipe button when in recovery mode of safestrap and it wiped everything! However, before that I did do a back up and copied it to my computed. So it removed everything off of my phone including the OS. I put a microSD card in my wifes phone and uploaded 2 custom roms and put it back in my phone but it does not recognize the external SD. I downloaded a stock firmware file (N900VVRUCNC4.tar.zip) and tried to us it in oden but it gives me a failure code of

<ID:0/008> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/008> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

Any help I would be great full!

Question about Safestrap and File Transfer topic

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I accidentally formatted my whole internal storage in an effort to completely clean up my Note 3. Unfortuantely, I forgot this would erase the rom on my internal storage I was planning to re-install via SafeStrap. Now I have a Note 3 with formatted internal storage and no external SD card. I was wondering if there's any way I could transfer the file from my PC to my Note 3 through Safestrap. I can't go out and buy an SD card and all I want to do is flash this rom again to a clean internal disk. I tried the ADB Sideload but every time it just says it could not read Firekat.Zip . Is there anything I can do besides some long convoluted restore process or buying an SD card and reader so I can copy the rom zip file to it and flash? I know this is kinda of a Help/troubleshooting thread, but I know what the problem is. I just wanted to ask these questions to see if you guys have any info that an average troubleshooter may not know. Thanks so much for your time and input in advance, I hope we can get this Note 3 running smoothly again soon!

Put custom rom in stock slot on Safestrap topic

I need some serious help guys. Here's the scenario:

When installing a custom rom to my phone using Safestrap I put it on the stock slot on accident. Here's all my phone information:

Verizon S4
Sch-1545
Android 4.3
I545VRUEMK2
Kernel 3.4.0
Running Hyperdrive RLS15 on Safestrap 3.71 (?)

How do I go about restoring Verizon's stock rom onto the stock slot and having Hyperdrive on a different slot without bricking my phone? I've tried to think of this a million ways and so far have come to few conclusions as to how to make this work. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
