[Q] Root & SafeStrap Question - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a At&T Samsung note 3 MJ5 currently, just bought it a few days ago. I have managed to get it to root with Kingo's program. Now after i install SafeStrap and install everything seems to go well. However I am currently trying to make a backup of the stock, and it says

From what I've seen Kingo is malware.
Edit:
I forgot to mention. I don't believe it actually roots the device. There are 2 other confirmed methods of rooting but safestrap still has some issues with some of the note 3's currently. I believe mine can't do it because of some sort of encryption thus when it's installed it will reboot randomly.

You are joking right?
Just two months ago XDA approved Kingo as a valid form of root.
It works as I have used it myself on MJ5.
The reason for the hype at first was because it was so easy and they refused to share their methods or source code. The other groups where butt hurt because their methods where harder and required more work from the phone owner.
So they started spreading rumors about Kingo malware and that they would still your IEMI and send it overseas and a bunch of other crap. If you read their terms of use it specifically states they remove nor send no data from your phone or PC. That being said if they did do such a thing it would leaver them open to a massive law suit.

Well if it's true or not I can neither confirm nor deny. But I just steered clear and used a different method. But safestrap still has some issues with the note 3 as im aware not sure on the backup though when I used the backup it did give me a few errors.

Well Ironically enough I rebooted last night a handful of times trying to get the unlocked padlock and custom to go away and failed, so today I said duck it and rerooted, instead of moving the safestrapv3.71.apk to the ad card before installing I left it on my main storage and behold I can now use it correctly. sadly though I still have some issues with it when trying to install the rom but everything else is clear. here's what I get when I tried to install.

that is after I installed win zip thinking it might be an issue with opening the .zip and wiping the cache and dalvik before trying to install. anyone got any ideas? Also my battery was at 67% I saw some where people saying do it with 70-100% not sure if that was the problem or not.

You are aware that Kingo is for and only works properly for a stock ROM. That means no safestrap before using it. You should root first then safestrap. You have written like you did the safe strap first and then Kingo.

Yeah I worded it wrong, I know your suppose to root first and I did. actually solved my own issue. I had the zip verification checked, unchecked it and it installed without a problem. now my only question is on the status bar on the right corner there is a locked padlock any idea what that is for?

I have Kingo and Safestrap running. ZERO issues

Are u using a sd micro card? I have same problem at first cause my sd card slot doesn't work at all. Can't fix it

My first post so take it with a grain of salt
So i have very little experience compared to most people here. But i ran into a very similar problem and i found that it was because i had been wiping and deleting some of the rom slots (1-4 not stock). The partitions ended up on the SD card and when safestrap tried to flash there it couldnt find them. I found that if i wiped every slot completely with my sd card out, and then restored my original backup to the stock slot with my sd card it in got everything squared away and i could start flashing roms again.
Dont know if that helps but it saved me from having to factory reset or mess with trying to reflash m19

Were you able to restore backup to root slot? I created backup yesterday when I rooted and was able to restore it once, but then it wouldn't allow me to restore, backup, or even wipe stock slot (it won't mount). It even wouldn't allow me to create another slot for a while. I eventually was able to create a slot again, and now I am stuck using slot 1 to run anything, since I cannot touch stock slot, which still won't mount. I really want to be able to install to stock slot, since slot 1 is very buggy for wifi. Thoughts?

[Q] unable to flash rom

Hey guys n gals i am trying to adb push a rom to my phone (since i screwed it up earlier today) so i can flash it. All goes well up until the point of flashing. when i try to flash it says E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount internal storage.
any ideas on how i can fix this issue?
In your recovery there should be a mounts and storage option or something similar, in there find Internal Storage and mount it, I think this should work since I would get that error but for system and mounting system would fix it.

i am using twrp and there is a mount option but when i click storage:internal storage it does nothing...it is also saying internal storage is (0mb) which leads me to believe something is not formated correctly. but i don't know of any way to reformat it
OMG!!!!! i am so happy right now...i have been fighting this all day and all i needed to do was format data under the wiping option.

[Q] Failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

I have a Samsung I987 Captivate. It was running SlimRom 4.2.2 and running fine. It started acting up by showing that the battery was dead. I plugged it into the charger and it immediately said it was half charged. I rebooted it and that s when it all went to hell. I got into clockworkmod and cleared dalvak and cache. At this point I rebooted but it still wasn't acting right. At this point I don't know what happened so I couldn't get into clockworkmod but I could get into download mode with a jig. I used Adam's I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click.jar file which did it's thing and upon a reboot showed this on the screen and that is where it's at. The phone boots to the boot screen and then reboots. I have tryed searching on XDA and Google and haven't come up with a fix other than maybe a jtag at which point the phone isn't worth fixing.

I know that you aren't on ICS and I know that you didn't get the encryption unsuccessful issue that ICS had, but it sounds like your internal SD has died which is similar to what happens with the EU bug. So have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303 and see if what others experienced after the EU bug isn't the same as what you're experiencing now.
Thank you m1batt1- That is similar to what I have and yes, your right about the ics. The thing that they are doing over on the thread going into cwm is something I can't do. The idea of swapping to the ext sdcard would be fine if I could figure out how to do it. I'll keep looking and trying.

No, actually I turned it in to AT&T for the rebate credit card. I haven't heard anything from them at this point. I got it to a point where it would boot up to the ATT screen. As stock as I could get it.

Heeeellpppp
I have this Samsung Galaxy tab GT-p1000 whose applications are getting error message of "force close", I tried to delete all the installed applications, restored factory settings but It doesnt seem to uninstall all the applications, So I decided to
upgrade it from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to ICS after installing it I got an error message of "Encryption Unsuccessful", So tried resetting it, rebooting, wiping factory settings, wiping cache but nothing happened, I even removed the sdcard before rebooting it but still I got the same error message.
I got frustrated and made a stupid mistake, I formatted everything thru recovery mode, format /data, format /sdcard, format /system and all. Yes every possible format. Here comes the problem when I rebooted the system, I only got the "Galaxy Tab, Samsung" screen. I can't enter recovery mode anymore, I can still enter download mode but my pc won't recognize it, so Odin can't recognize it too. What should I do now? HEEEELPPPP pleassseeeee :crying:
If Odin can't recognise it, use a new PC.
Many have done so, even one last week.

Thanks for your Help.
same comment here as in there.
It is either the partition is screwed up or the NAND chip is bad.
If you did Odin with PIT file and repartition ticked, and didn't come back alive like the other forumer there, then your internal NAND chip is bad.
There are several threads dealing with how to use external SD only and on damaged internal SD.

Stuck in a bootloop

I had originally install TWRP on my HTC one and then i installed the stable release of cyanogenmod and it all worked great except for the fact that i had no service anymore. So i decied would try to go back to stock HTC sence but I think I wiped my internal storage. I can boot into TWRP and fastboot but My phone just keeps loading the cyanogenmod logo then restarting and repeating. I was trying to follow the qbking unbrick your htc one tutorial it but in the program it asks me to go from image version 1.31.651.2 to image version 1.12.651.10 and the video says they should be the same. how can i just get my phone back to factory settings?
All you need to do is sideload a Rom hopefully you know how to use adb if not Google how to sideload a Rom.

I made a dumb decision and instead of backing up my phone i just decided i would not mess it up. boy did i learn my lesson.
when i type adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ it takes a bit but it pushes the file to /sdcard. I can then see the rom on my phone but when i try to install it I get
E:Unable to mount '/data/ '

also even after i push it over the bar at the top of twrp says Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB) does that mean its not getting pushed over even though i can see it on the phone?

[Q] I9000B OS doesn't load/ "Failed to mount /data" / Almost bricked

I got a long story here. First i got this Galaxy S TV (GT-I9000B) from a friend who broke it's Android and I thought i could fix it. I could restore from a brick status to a clockwork mod which failed because that CWM was made for I9000 and not mine which is I9000B. Then, I went to sammobile, downloaded everything to factory reset this phone using Odin. It worked, but when i tried to boot, this thing appears:
-- Copying media files...

And beside this, the boot is stucked. It can't load anything. I tried using Heimdall to fix but some error (ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12) shows up, ADB can't access the phone. I also tried learn how to format the internal SD, go through every single error and fix each one but i got lost again and now i don't know what can i do.

Yeah, that is the one that i did. And the results were the ones that i told.
I mean. This one fixed but was incompatible. Somehow this I9000 and I9000B differences affect everything.
