[STOCK ROM] MotoBlur 6.13.215 for Safestrap (SAFE MODE)

* WARNING: WE DO NOT HAVE A FASTBOOT TO FIX YOUR PHONE SHOULD YOU BOOTLOOP AND BE UNABLE TO ENTER RECOVERY **
** YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK **
Want to freeze some bloatware or make changes to your System but are nervous because we don't have a fastboot restore?
Interested in a stock ROM to safely deodex and test?
Safestrap *MAY* be the answer you're looking for. Read more about it here:
http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap_24.html
Here is a link to a *SAFESTRAP ONLY* Stock ROM for the Droid 4: 6.13.215:
http://bit.ly/y6FEjv
md5sum: c19d09fe0db646a8916985c1e672eee5
Install this in Safestrap after ENABLING Safe Mode, and as long as you keep it enabled while running your phone, if you make a mistake by freezing too much or if you're deodexing and hit a bootloop, you won't be screwed.
Because Safe Mode is enabled, you should be able to get back into recovery to restore a backup or reflash this ROM so that you can boot back up.
What it contains:
- MotoBlur for Droid 4 (6.13.215)
- A few of the obvious bloatware have been removed: Netflix, NFL TV, Slacker Radio, etc.
- Pre-rooted with Superuser
To Install:
1. Be rooted
2. Install the APK for Droid 4 Safestrap found here (BE SURE YOU'RE GETTING THE DROID 4 VERSION):
http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/android-downloads_24.html
3. Once installed open up the application and use "Install Recovery"
4. Make sure you have this .zip on your SD card
5. Reboot the phone and enter Safestrap Recovery by pressing the [menu] button while the Safestrap boot screen is displayed
6. - MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR NON-SAFE SYSTEM FOR DISASTER RECOVERY BY CHOOSING (FUNCTIONS SIMILAR TO CWRecovery)
- Controls in recovery are: scroll up = volume up button, scroll down = volume down button, select = power button
- Scroll down and select "backup and restore"
- in the "Nandroid" menu choose "Backup"
- Optionally include webtop in the backup (probably want a 1 for the full backup)
- Confirm
This will take a while ... so be patient.
- Once that's done you can use the [back] soft key on the front of the phone or scroll down to "+++++Go Back+++++" and use that to go back to the main menu
7. Now that we made a full backup, we can turn on Safe System, scroll down to "safe boot menu" and select
8. Select "Toggle Safe System"
This will also take a few moments while your main /data was stashed away.
9. Now that we have Safe System "Currently: ENABLED" (should see this at the top of the screen), we can flash a ROM
10. Make sure you're on the main menu, and scroll to "install zip from sdcard" and select
11. select "choose zip from sdcard"
12. choose whether you have the file on your internal or external SD card
13. now using the scroll and select buttons, navigate to your .zip file and select it
13. confirm that you want to install the ROM.
This will take another little bit.
Now exit Safestrap by going back to the main menu and select "reboot system now".
The phone should reboot right back into your 2nd version of the Stock MotoBlur system.
Enjoy.

Reserved for future use

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I almost gave up on the D4!! wooooOOOOOoooo

Hash,
I can flash this with no problem, but just like everything else i try to flash when safe mode is enabled, it hangs on the off black screen after booting. Any other ways I can try this?
**Edit** Got it working. I was actually trying to deodex a few files and add afew touches to your base, so I guess I did not recompile it correctly. Gonna try again.

Keep at it, we'll need deodexed files.
Also, I updated the ROM tonight. I had left some cheesecake files in which were pointing users to a motoblur-dev OTA server.
Please re-download when you can, so we don't distribute a deodexed ROM with that info in it.

Does anybody have a .219 safestrap ROM?
[edit]
Never mind. I just tar'd over the .219 files from /system onto /preinstall, to overwrite my "safe" install.
I've attached the list of files the 219 update replaced. To use it:
Install the 215 ROM into your safe system, then toggle back to Unsafe mode.
Then in a root shell:
Code:
cd /system; tar cf - `cat 219.txt` | (cd /preinstall; tar xf - )
Then when you toggle back to your Safe system it will be running the identical 219 software as your original system.

One for ICS
Im looking for a stock ICS rom that I can flash to safestrap. I did a search, but I'm leary of flashing anything that im not 100% sure is the right one.

[Q] Where to place a newer build for flashing

Hi,
I am running cm-10.1-20130313-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird on a Nook HD without any problems on a 16 GB sd card. There are later releases out there and if you select Settings and About Tablet, there is a menu item called CyanogenMod updates. Where do I have to place a newer for example cm-10.1-20130324-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip file so that I can upgrade or downgrade to a newer/older version and the file is beeing found by the upgrade procedure?
Thank you,
mj

You will not find any updates using that option. That option is only for official CM ROMs. These ROMs are unofficial. You must download the ROM zip from the link in the OP of bokbokan's thread where you got the original ROM. Download them with the nook to the sdcard. Then boot to CWM and flash them with the 'install zip from SD' menu choice. It will probably be in the downloads folder.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD

Where to place a newer build for flashing
A little bit more info:
Created the patitions etc with sdcard-cwm-hummingbirdv4.zip and placed 2 files
cm-10.1-20130313-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip in the root of the 4th patition
~11GB. Installed CM10.1 and Google apps. Everything works very well, however maybe newer version are even better.
If you select Settings and then About Tablet and then CyanogenMod Updates there are 2 menu items:
Check for updates Manual or in a given time intervall and Update types, New and All(Stable only) and New and All
(incl. Nighlies).
It is my understanding that a script is running to check for a file and the file location.
Maybe the file has to be renamed to satisfy the search.
I did try the Download folder and the root of the Media folder in emmc (sdcard0) which needs superuser privileges.
Unfortunately this did not work.
The question for me is now how to upgrade to a later build without rebuilding the whole sdcard (if this is possible) or how to envoke the CWM menu once a version (cm-10.1-20130313-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird) is already running?
Any help is appreciated,
mj

You don't have to redo the card every time. Just put the new file on your sdcard go in to recovery and tell it to flash that file. It will do everything needed to update the files.
To get to recovery you can do a couple of things. Shut the device off and then hold the n button as instructed on the screen to get to recovery. You can also enable the reboot to recovery option on the reboot menu. To do this you need to enable advanced reboot options. Go to Settings/About and then scroll to the bottom of the list. Now tap on the build number 7 or so times(it will tell you developer options has been enabled). Now go to Developer Options and enable Advance reboot. From now on when you go to the reboot option you will be able to choose reboot to recovery.

Thank you for this tip. There are a couple of reboot options available and the working one is called: Cyanoboot Menu.
This works very well.
Thanks again,

You need to flash them with CWM
How to:
1 Download the ZIP files and copy to your device.
2 Turn off your phone and boot it into CWM/TWRP recovery mode.
3 Important: I highly recommend that you backup your current ROM as precaution before proceeding.
In case the media apps do not work for you or you wish to uninstall them later, restore the previous ROM from recovery.
4 Go to “mounts and storage” and select “mount system”.
5 Return back to main menu in recovery and install the “V.2_SONY_Xperia_i1_Honami_Media_Apps.zip” file.
6 Go back to menu in CWM/TWRP recovery and reboot the phone.
7 When the devices boots up, turn it off again and enter the recovery mode.
8 Go to “mounts and storage” and select “mount system”.
9 Now install the “WALKMAN_SemcMusic_Xperia i1 Honami_Z Ultra.zip” file.
10 Reboot the device.
11 Go to “mounts and storage” and select “mount system”.
12 Install “SemcDlna_Fix_Only_For_JB-4.1.2-signed.zip”
and then reboot the device.

thanks bro for the reply, but I want to install only the walkman app and I have already tried it by flashing through cwm but even with that procedure it didn't work. u know i even tried adding these lines to build.prop
dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode=false
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v,m=y
and used a superuser modded services.jar too but nothing worked.

A Step By Step Comprehensive Guide to Rooting & Flashing the AT&T Note 3

I have seen a few step by step guides on here to rooting and flashing a new rom for other phones, but nothing for the AT&T Note 3. Learning how to do all the different steps and where to find the files I needed took more leg work than I felt it needs to. Doing all that took several hours, where as the process of flashing the new rom/doing all of the below steps only took me about a half hour!
Therefore, I put together this step by step guide so that others in the same situation as me would have one thread that includes all the information they need. I'm hoping this is able to save atleast one person a few hours of time they could spend doing something more fun.
None of this work is mine. All of these programs and any of the instructions below were put together by others and this guide is entirely the product of other people's hardwork. All I did was copy and paste them all into one thread.
Step A: Skip this step if you are on a Kit Kat rom 4.4 etc. AT&T already autoupdates the Note 3’s to KitKat months ago so you are 99.9% most likely already on KitKat and can skip this step
If you’re NOT on KitKat (4.4.2) then you need to follow these instructions to get to KitKat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
Step B: Root the*Android Device
This can all be done on the phone itself.
1. Go to Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources ON to allow us to install third-party apps.
2. On your phone, head to*http://towelroot.com.
3. Tap on the Lambda (the big red letter looking icon in the middle of the site).
4. Save the tr.apk file to your device.
5. Pull down the notification shade by pulling down from the top of the device.
6. Tap on the Download Complete notification.
7. Tap Install.
8. Pull down the notification shade by pulling down from the top of the device.
9. Tap on Installation Complete to open the app.
10. Tap on the Make it Ra1n button and wait for it to do its thing.
11. You should get a success notice, that’s it, you’re rooted.
Step C: Install SuperSU
To stop unauthorized apps from using the new found root access, we’ll install SuperSU.
1. Go to the Play Store on your device.
2. Search for SuperSU.
3. Tap on the one by Chainfire and install it.
4. Once done, tap the Open button.
5. Allow it to update it’s binaries and anything else it prompts you to do.
Step D: Test Root Access
1. Go to the Play Store on your device.
2. Search for Root Checker.
3. Tap on the result and install it.
4.*Once done, tap the Open button.
5. Tap Run and make sure it says you are rooted.
Step E: Download the custom rom to your phone’s microsd card
You can do this on the phone it self. You can download any Custom KitKat rom that is designed for the AT&T Note 3. There’s several to choose from. Some people like Alliance Rom found here… http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778933
But the most popular and IMO best rom is Dynamic Kat 6.1.3. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709701) You can download Dynamic Kat 6.1.3 here…
http://www.dynamicrom.com/index.php/downloads/viewcategory/31-dynamic-kat
Make sure that you download Version 6.1 (6.1.3) as this is the last stable release of the ROM and everything past this version has bugs.
You should also download the GPETheme 6.1 for the Dynamic Kat 6.1.3 custom rom (it makes it look identical to stock Android.) You can download it here…
http://www.dynamicrom.com/index.php/downloads/viewcategory/42-google-play-edition-gpe
Step F: Download SafeStrap 3.75-B03 onto your phone’s microsd card
You can download Safestrap from here…
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=1481#downloads
You should also download Gapps (Google Apps) onto your microsd card from here…
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15800
Don’t forget to move everything you downloaded above using your phone’s internet browser, from the default location (downloads folder) over the the microsd by using a file browser like “My Files” to move all these files to the microsd card.
Then install the app Busybox from the Google Play Store and install this app (SafeStrap 3.75 won’t work if Busybox is not installed)
Step G: Install the Custom Rom onto your phone using Safestrap 3.75-B03
1. There is a step by step picture guide on how to do this at this website…
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-n...-custom-rom-using-safestrap-on-galaxy-note-3/
This ROM requires you to use Stock ROM Slot, otherwise it will not boot!
And that's it. You should now be rooted, flashed and good to go.
Did you run into any problems or have any questions? Refer to the Q&A from the Dynamic Kat 6.1.3 Developers below to find the solution.
Q. What is a clean flash?
A. Clean flash is as follows....
Boot to ss
Hit wipe
Slide to factory reset
Back out
Hit install
Find zip
Slide to install
This deletes everything except data. You will have to set the phone up again. All your pics and sounds and downloads are safe and will be there when you return.
Super clean install is as follows....
Boot to ss
Hit wipe
Hit advanced
Check all boxes except sdcard
Swipe to clean
Back out
Hit install
Find zip
Slide to flash
Reboot.
This will wipe everything on the phone, all pics, sounds, settings, everything will be gone, except the contents of the sdcard.
Q. What is a dirty flash?
A. Dirty flash is as follows...
Boot to ss
Hit install
Find zip file
Slide to flash
Reboot.
This deletes absolutely nothing, no wipe needed.
Q.What happens when I wipe data?
A.While in Safestrap if you select the "Wipe" button, you will then be taken to a screen with three options. Here is an attempt to somewhat clarify those options.
1. Swipe to Factory Reset - This is the most common way of wiping, and what is most commonly used for installing a new ROM. This option is considered a "Clean Flash".
2. Advanced Wipe - This option is used to specify partitions to wipe. It is generally okay to select all options here EXCEPT "Micro SDcard". This can also be used when doing a "Clean Flash".
3. Format Data - DO NOT USE the "Format Data" button. If you select it by accident you are going to be required to type the word "yes" to even proceed further. You have been hereby WARNED. If you refuse to heed this warning there is a good chance you will soft brick your phone.
Q. Can I flash to a slot?
A. Yes, you sure can. Expect bugs or issues, expect the reboot option in the power menu to NOT work.
Q. How do I flash a theme?
A. Flash the rom, then flash either S5 theme or GPE theme. You then can flash a color option for the GPE theme.
Q. How to I go back to stock?
A. Dirty flash the rom. (see above)
Q. Somethings are acting strange, is there a easy fix?
A. Boot to SS (safestrap) hit wipe, now hit advanced and check the cache and delvic cache box's ONLY! slide to wipe, reboot system.
Q. My signal is weak, is it the rom?
A. I highly doubt that, it's related to the modem and some are better than others depending where you are. Check out other Modems here
Q. Where can I find the add-on'?
A. In the DK store. Hit menu/system settings/device then DK rom control.
Q. My battery life isn't very good, how can I find what's going on?
A. Download "wakelock detector" and "better battery stats". Then if you are still confused, take a screenshot and post it.
Q.What is that Bar on the top of my Status Bar?
A.That is the Miui Battery Bar, this can be altered or turned off in DK Rom Control under Status Bar Mods/Miui Battery Bar.
Q.Why do I have 2 batteries?
A.After first boot, You need to pick one to disable in Rom Control.
Q. How do I make my status bar transparent?
A. Go to the Rom Control and then tap status bar mods. Go down and tap "Status Bar Gradients." Now there should be 2 color options, just tap a color, then tap the box on the bottom right because that is the transparent. Do the same for the second color.
7. Additional Optional Customizations for the Rom
Q: My 3G/4G LTE data is not working!!!
A: See*How to Fix 3G/4G LTE data by Manually Setting APN on Android!
Q: I don’t have Play Store nor any of the Google apps!
A: You forgot to install Gapps, reboot into recovery and install it!
Q: The ROM is not booting!
A: Try formatting/wipe /system and re-install ROM, sometimes the system partition gets corrupt and you may have to try 2 or 3 times before the ROM boots.
Q: I can’t play Flash Videos.
A. Install Flash Player for Andriod. *See*How to Install Flash Player on Android 4.4.2/4.4.3 KitKat!
Q: An App I am trying to install refused to run on rooted devices!
Need to run apps that check for root? *Check out How to Run Apps that’s don’t run on rooted Android!

Check out*How to Install Android L Preview Keyboard on rooted Android!
Also, if you want some awesome audio,*check*out*Viper4Audio FX MOD, which you can install on this ROM to enhance your music 100%.

Thanks for this. I have been hesitant to root due to the IEMI issues, risk of being deleted if i recall (that could have been on my note 2 i don't remember).
I would like to try, but being lollipop could be pretty close i might hold off.
Primarily wanted to say nice guide.

Want to use 1537's hotspot on other networks SOLVED

This thread did it for me~!
EDIT: Please skip to post #3
I've been reading tons of threads here and am overwhelmed. I rely on my phone's data and hotspot at home as I don't have internet service at home.
So I would like to accomplish two things:
1. Be able to use the phone's hotspot. It's an unlocked At&t 1537 but the hotpost function still won't work on other networks
2. Delete all the crap-ware
I've been reading through a lot of threads and it seems possible, but is easier said than done. I understand that I have to flash my phone and install another ROM/Firmware.
Is there an up-to-date step by step guide on how to accomplish this?
I know all the information is spread out everywhere here in this site. But I'm nervous to try to piece them together myself and break my phone.
Any help would be massively appreciated!
To show I've put already put in some effort, I've already downloaded Odin on my computer.
Phone is currently at 4.4.2

I've taken another crack at it and explored the rooting option and manipulating some apk and odex files in /system/app and still no luck.

I've found this thread! It says it will enable native tethering. Woohoo! Now I just need some help breaking down the steps a bit more

The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the AT&T splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (15 - 20mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional - Enable Native Tethering:
- I537_OC7_TetherAddOn
- I537_OC6_TetherAddOn (Flash using FF's "Flash zip or ota" option.
Notes:

2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.

I've put my questions in parentheses. Please answer and elaborate. Thank you thank you in advance! I'm asking these questions now in case I get caught up in the middle everything happening
Flashfire - installed on my phone
I537_OC7_Stock_Rooted_ROM - downloading
1. Place the ROM onto your device (downloading into my phone; into downloads folder)
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue. (this is down in the flashfire app, right?)
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" setting to "Download." (still flashfire app?)
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the I537_OC7_Bootloader using Odin's PDA/AP slot. (quite lost here, I'm guessing, when the above steps are completed the phone will go into download mode, then I'll need to connect the phone to my computer and use Odin.
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot! (when and where would I do this?)
Optional - Enable Native Tethering:
- I537_OC7_TetherAddOn (when would I do this? also in Odin?)
