Without y'all, I would of sold this phone.
KNOWN ISSUES:
No Aroma installer support. This is due to the stock Note 3 kernel framebuffer. To build a recovery which worked, it needed QCOM patches. So will Aroma.
If you try a .zip file with an Aroma installer, it will most likely just hang.
If you're stock ROM is modified then the "Reboot Recovery" function from inside Safestrap APK may / may not work.
Right now flashing / booting ROMs on rom-slots is broken. I'm debugging best I can.
EXFAT support seems broken right now (64gb SD cards)
Here is how we are using it now, but please read and follow instructions.

Did you activate that rom slot once you installed a rom to it or was the stock slot still active?

It was active but I just rebooted after flashing. I did not click on activate again. Should I do that after flashing and wiping the C/D ?
Worth a shot in my opinion

Well, I downloaded the theme again and booted into recovery. Selected the Stock Slot (already checked).
I installed the theme and went to select the slot again but its already selected so I just wiped cache and dalvik cache.
Rebooted phone and nothing. Same stock look.
I wonder if it would work without wiping?

So I have never posted here I just lurk. But I wanted to post this info up and as I get more info and testing done I'll update. Going to try and flash a couple roms this evening but here is where I am so far. If someone could post this in the dev thread that would be awesome. Post 1 for me.
CURRENT TESTS:
TEST #1: Hijack stability to enter recovery on every boot. RESULT: untested.
TEST #2: Reboot to recovery functionality RESULT: pass every time, either through safe strap app or manually.
TEST #3: Recovery removal leaves device in clean state RESULT: pass. Uninstalled recovery after 2 reboots into safe strap and worked fine.
TEST #4: ADB access from recovery RESULT: untested.
TEST #5: ROM-slot creation RESULT: pass. created 3 with default values. No issues.
TEST #6: Backup stock ROM RESULT: pass. Done in 167 seconds for roughly 3300mbs.
TEST #7: Restore stock ROM backup to stock slot: pass. No issues
TEST #8: Initial 2nd-init ROM installation on rom-slot RESULT: untested
TEST #9: Custom ROM flash on rom-slot RESULT: untested

You have to turn the phone off or just regular reboot and then the option will pop up to boot in recovery. This will happen if you clicked "install recovery" inside the SS apk.

Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
I installed SS as soon as it went up and everything has gone smoothly. It's worth mentioning that I used the original De La Vega root and never updated because I had zero problems afterwards. I never tried any of the dirty workarounds to flashing roms. I rebooted into recovery from the app (flawlessly) and made a backup. Then decided to g3t ballsy and install galaxyman's theme while wiping caches. It only appeared to partially work. Then I remembered that I had partially themed my phone using Wanam/X-Blast. I turned those off and viola! My phone looks ultraslick.

Also SS is meant to be a failsafe recovery, meaning your active slot should be your current setup. You should not flash anything to your stock rom slot unless your comfortable. If you want to flash a rom like Encore that's in the development section , create a new rom slot and flash to it; Then if **** hits the fan you always have your stock rom to switch back to.

I started with Mj5....Did the install ROM without recovery a couple of times.
Did the restore Mj5 Thread a bunch.
Before I installed Safestrap, I restored back to stock rooted and installed SS.
Can't flash themes yet.
Maybe I should start all over again but this time restore twice and go to system settings/back up factory reset.
The last time i did the factory reset option after a restore, the phone was perfect.
Maybe I will just do that and start over...Will report back.
Hey guys, I've held off from any exploits thus far including root. However, I am now interested in using safestrap. I am on MJ5, is my only option for root kingo?

I wonder if you can try this. It worked for me but only after I got into a bootloop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
At the end of all steps, the last step is an easy "put files here" and it rooted. (after a reboot twice)
Just follow instructions
When I reboot and the safestrap screen comes up where I can choose to enter recovery or enter regular system. In red it says safestrap disabled. Is this typical?
I know safestrap is installed and running as I created a backup did a factory reset then then did a back up from the recovery I created.

When you toggled to safe mode, which.toggle option did you select? One will back you up and the other one won't I don't believe.

I didn't flash any roms just rooted running the exploit and then enabled toggle safe system so I should probably just reboot and be fine but I just want to make sure
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Once you toggle to safe, then you flash ics. Even if it didn't back up your original system, the worst that should happen when going back to your normal system is that it will take you back to a fresh install and you will need to set your accounts back up and reinstall your apps

If you don't flash ics (or any rom) when your in safe mode and reboot your phone, it won't load because there isn't a version of android there.

I believe I have mine in internal. I think you can install it from either location.
You may want to clear the cache and stystem data before flashing if you didn't. Sometimes that helps.

ok looks like was just a bad md5 or something so when i flash google apps do i wipe anything prior to flashing that???
cool got it up just setting up but i have to say this rooting proccess was so much more work than i made it out to be but can't hurt to be too careful i guess
First connect to WiFi and make sure you can access the web.
Next put the N4 into airplane mode.
Then go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Services Framework > Clear data
Take the N4 out of airplane mode and let it connect to WiFi.
After a few minutes, you will be prompted to install the OTA update.
If you are not prompted within 10 minutes, open the dialer and force a "checkin" by typing: *#*#2432546#*#*
After "checkin succeded" message, you should be prompted to install the update.
Enjoy!
Doesn't work for me.

You have to be standing in the bathroom for it to work.
No. But for real. Updates are pushed out in waves. If your device is not on the current wave you will not get the update. That's it.
Don't want to wait. Do it manually.

"Easy" is a relative term. Not everyone here, especially in the "General" forum is comfortable yet with flashing alternative recoveries or using abd, etc. This is meant for the novice and/or purist who does not want to alter the phone in order to receive and apply the update. This method does in fact work. Quite often the device is ready to receive the update, but the built in automatic & manual checkin fails to trigger the process. Clearing the GSF data forces the device to initiate it almost immediately, as opposed to waiting an undetermined amount of time for the device to resolve the issue on its own.
My advice to the audience who this is intended for: If this did not work for you now, try it again in a few hours or tomorrow, I assure you it will be much faster than waiting for it to happen naturally. In fact, to prove my point further, go ahead and try the manual checkin (under settings > about phone > system updates) first, each time, before you try this. You'll eventually see what I mean. FYI - Every Nexus device has behaved this way.
How come I can't get the update to install either in CWM or from OTA?? If I do OTA the phone reboots into CWM and I get an "assert failed" and installation aborted.... And if I manually go into CWM and "update from SD card" option I get the same issue!

That means you removed genie widget.odex . put the file back or any other that you deleted and it will go through. I deleted currents, books, earth, genie, videos and a few more and it failed on the update and its because you have to have the same build prop or same apps back

You only need to clear data of google services framework, then check for updates. Rinse and repeat until it works - usually 1-5 times.
All those other steps aren't necessary.

Worked for me thanks.
As I have CWM, CWM asked if I want to flash untrusted update - I said yes. After isntall, I rebooted back to Recovery (as it said something about restoring stock recovery while installing update). CWM was still there. I told CWM to reboot and it said 'you may have lost root'. I selected yes to fix root and it rebooted. all seems fine now.
Worked nicely!! Thanks
I just flashed CWM 6.0.3.5, seemed to be working perfectly. On the next recovery boot I got this warning.
Root can possibly be lost. Fix?
This can not be undone
no 7 times in a row (vertically)
yes - fix root (/system/xbin/su)
no 3 more times
I selected fix root from the 11 choices, and my ROM booted just fine. So i restarted in recovery, and again the same warning message.
Another thing I noticed was on the main screen of CWM at the bottom it says
cmw v6.0.3.5
warning no file_contexts
As i said AIOP mod is working fine, just don't like the warning message every time I assess recovery.
Any ideas?
You shouldn't be getting that message every time. But your recovery is outdated. Try the newest cwm in the open of the kit kat rom it's 6.0.4.5. I haven't had any problems with it.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Damn, I wish I remembered how I fixed that problem when it happened to me.
Did you lose root permissions?
My guess would be either SuperSU binaries need to be updated or shouldnt have been updated, causing CWM not reading root properly. Dont quote me on this, its just my guess, haha. probably go with Dvarl's answer.
If you find a fix, please post how, so I can use it for future reference.
I'll check out that update and post what I find out.
Thanks for the help guys.

Ended up doing mj5 restore. Staying on jelly bean for now...
So I have a att gs5 with towel root safestrap installed. Previously I installed a custom rom that worked. The next one that I installed failed so I had to load the stock rom back onto my device using odin. Since then after a fresh install of root and safestrap every time I try to install a rom or any zip using safestrap it fails. I am so new to this coming from iPhone any advice would be sweet.
Thanks

I'm with you on that as far as safe strap goes. Had to Odin also.
Hmmm, I didn't have that problem after running Odin and re-rooting my phone...but then again I ran towel room and Super-su a couple times before it grabbed.
