Might get more help over in Q&A, but I would use the method here to return to stock mj5 and then ota update to nb4 then root and such from there.

I didn't have any problem with X-Note (which is now my daily ROM) or Dynamic, but I couldn't restore my stock backup - until I deleted the slot and made the data space larger. Check your sizes.
The only differance between the two phones is that my other note 3 has none of the at&t apps that they put on there. Maybe thats what the problem is . But the other one i had the stock rom and two other roms on it at one time and had no problem .

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 But your recovery is outdated.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.

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.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! The updated CMW totally fixed the problem I was having. Flashed the Kit Kat Rom, working perfectly so far. The integration of Hangouts as your SMS is a little strange, but easy enough to get going.
BTW, fail for the new kit Kat ROM. Everything was great until my first reboot, then the ROM hung at the Galaxy screen. Had to pull the battery.

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 ?

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.

I was experiencing problems with my rooted mj5 so i used that popular thread on how to revert to stock mj5. Everything went smooth, but im still having the bootloop problems. The custom lock logo is gone on bootup so i know its true stock mj5 now, but my loader hangs on the ATT animation logo for a bit then keeps restarting. This process goes on and off for a few times until it manages to pull itself through. Should i call ATT for a replacement or is this fixable?
Went into recovery mode and cleared cach - didnt work
Went into recovery mode and did a factory reset - didnt work
f*ck.

This. I've reverted back to mj5 multiple times and never got into a bootloop. Don't take it back to AT&T for your mess up. That's fraud.

As i stated above the factory reset does not work. I noticed the main problem was coming from the sd card slot. It doesnt matter what sd card is in there, it will cause the phone to lose signal and enter a weird bootloop. A few hours ago i re installed mj5 and did every step to get a 100% new stock again. The 16gb and 32gb class 10 sd card will cause my phone problems. The main problems are bootloops and if i go to make a call, the service bar will turn to an O with a slash until i end the call so i can not call anyone while my sd card is installed.
Im considering just updating to kitkat and if it has problems from there then i know the phone has hardware issues, then off to AT&T it goes...
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
JM
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.

Run towel root. Then download Super-SU , then install SS. If upon reboot you see the SS splash screen. Then your all good. I did however download titanium backup and freeze Knox manually because Super-su kept failing. But now my Knox count is 0x0 and I'm filly rooted and have no problems

We have locked bootloaders only SS compatible Roms will work you can't flash anything from stock recovery. This
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798646
And the alliance tmobile are the only rom's I know of that work
Long story short, I was trying to install Dynamic Kat but it wouldn't work. Each time I would try to install SS 3.72, it wouldn't boot into recovery. If I tried to flash the ROM with SS 3.70, the ROM wouldn't boot--it would just get stuck on a black screen with a blue LED. I was advised to flash Odin and start over. I've been trying to flash stock with several files, however nothing is working (N900AUCUBMI9_OneClickBin.exe). It fails everytime.
Anybody know what I can do to resolve this issue? Needless to say, my phone is soft-bricked at the moment.
Are you able to get into safe strap at all?
As in safe strap recovery.

Thank you for your response.
I actually got it resolved. I was on a ROM which I thought was 4.4.2, however it was 4.3 so it was causing a bunch of problems. All sorted out now
Glad you got it figured out.
