[Q] Safestrap 3.71 - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have safestrap 3.71 running on my SGS4A 4.3 ML2 rooted. When I go to create a rom slot it shows that there isn't any space for it. Anyone know what the issue is?

Hashcode says there is an issue. It doesn't recognize internal storage.

Well that sucks then, and you have AT&T and rooted 4.3 as I have? When I flashed back to the stock 4.3 and re-rooted, Safestrap seems to work as it should, have you tried this?

Did yours come with ML2 or did you get OTA? This is just odd, happening to some and not others when seemingly all is the same setup.
This is the safestrap file I have on:

I got my phone on March 24th, and it did arrive with ML2, I then rooted with Sunderwear's method, had that Safestrap issue where it wouldn't load the recovery. I flashed back to stock 4.3 from firmware section, then re-rooted, Safestrap is now working.

downloading it now. I tried to check ota on NB4 but I keep getting software update interrupted. Hopefully I won't have to keep on relying on others to post the update files in the future. Thanks for the help, wish you would have responded to my first thread on this issue a month ago, but it looks like those update files were recently uploaded.

with kitkat that is because of the kingo root even if you unrooted do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51203967&postcount=1 or if you are near an att service center you can take it to them and they will flash kitkat for you also bestbuy can too

Best Buy (Samsung) doesn't have the KitKat files yet. I went to my local BB store and they told me that didn't have the official file yet. Also, AT&T will not flash your phone either. I tried that one, too.

No OS installed - but can boot to Safestrap

I somehow screwed up a flash and now I have no OS installed but I can boot to Safestrap recovery. Any ideas on how to get the OS loaded? I'm going to see if I have an micro SD to SD converter so I can load the OS there and try to flash via external SD. Is there another way? Thanks!

I had the same issue, and tried flashing multiple times via the external SD. Unfortunately, given that I got to your current situation by wiping everything but the external SD, it still wouldn't work. I flashed multiple times, but it always just said that it couldn't mount /data and /system. I ended up doing the MJ5 Restore found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
Trouble is, now I can't seem to get back to KK for the life of me....good luck!

Okay i will start from the top. I have a note 3 on at&t that i used towel to root with. I downloaded su, busybox, safestrap,etc. Long story short i didnt back up when i wiped everything and i cannot get safestrap to laod any new rom, it states there is no os on the device. I then tried to use odin to reflash to stock and i get the smd header check failed message.

The home file is all 4 files in 1. Just use the 4 individual files to install original NC2 firmware and wipe at the same time. Ignore the home file.

Yes that would be correct. Using the home file is like using all 4 files only the home file doesn't wipe before installing. It installs firmware like an ota update would. I thought using the 4 files would reset you, and give you a clean install.

see if you can fix it using the link in the above post if not let me know and I will back up my stock ATT KK 4.4.2 NC2 in safe strap after factory reset and I can send it to you. You can flash that and see if that works.
And what I understand is you started from stock 4.4.2 NC2 and than you towel root than installed SU and busybox and than installed the SS . After you went into SS, did you wipe the stock rom slot? Can you please explain in detail including each step so we know.

Worked with no problems!
Flashed all 4 files using Odin 3.07 over stock, unrooted, NC9 OTA , which in turn I had flashed over stock, unrooted, ML2 through stock recovery. I had used the same Odin 3.07 to flash ML2 over MF3 (which came with the phone).
I had rooted the MF3 and installed Safestrap on it at some point. Once I decided a couple of days ago to try to upgrade all the way to NE3, I uninstalled Safestrap, all other programs I had installed and unrooted with SuperSu and did a factory reset in preparation for the ML2 flash with Odin (the phone still said custom when it booted after that, but once I flashed the ML2 Odin files, the phone was back to the stock boot animation).
I actually was stuck on the stock, unrooted, NC9 yesterday because after trying to flash the NE3 OTA through the stock recovery, the OTA seemed to be applied, but upon reboot the phone was still at NC9? And today, the solution! Thanks to all involved!:good:
By the way, I checked my knox counter when I entered Download (Odin) Mode before I flashed NE3 and it was at 0x0, so it seems that neither rooting nor installing Safestrap on MF3 changed the knox counter to 0x1
Next step, root with Towelroot, see how that goes (Thank you Geohot!):good:

No, You will loose root by any method you choose to update to lollipop best to wait and see if root is even possible before updating. otherwise you may find yourself in the position of no root and no way to downgrade to 4.4.x

That's what I figured. I will just keep waiting to see if root is achieved/can be maintained.
I am uploading to my mediafire for a second dl location for those who are interested. If you want to keep root do not flash this file until a flashable version is available. If you want to flash this version do a backup with Kies so you can restore everything after you update. I did this many times before I rooted this device, it works.

Just Quote from post i post link to :
"1. Should the OA1 ota update fail consider returning to factory stock NCE (all User Data will be lost) by flashing the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) then taking the OTA updates to OA1. Or, place the G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip and G900A_NG3_tA1_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery starting with the G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip. Once updated to OA1 "
Do this. Links to download are provided at page i post link

[WARNING] YOU CAN'T ROOT or install recovery on T-Mobile S5 to 5.1.1!

This is a [WARNING] Don't flash any other thing after you update Tmobile S5 to 5.1.1!
I have just flashed 5.1.1 and tried to flash CF-AUTOROOT / TWRP / CWM / ANY ROOT OR RECOVERY and I stucked at bootloop while the phone kept on ringing 4times at the T-mobile boot screen.
i think Samsung had changed something to prevent from install recovery or root on S5 in 5.1.1.
We should wait for someone to make 5.1.1 root.
The good news: You are able to downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0 or even 4.4 just by flashing previous firmwares using ODIN.
Without any problem. Full service, imei, SV, .... everything's fine.
Try wiping your caches in recovery. Same thing happened to me for 5.0

Try doing what Kevin said. Otherwise reflash the update in Odin, download here or mega mirror.
After I installed Recovery or root, I do full wipe.
But remain the same.

A better question, are we able to downgrade after installation of this version?
I seen a screenshot of the S6 update screen and it showed that a downgrade would not be possible.

I haven't tried it, my S5 is 900F international. And I don't know the procedure for flashing T-Mobile roms on the 900F.
Maybe we can flash the rom but I'm pretty sure the bootloader and kernel is a no go.

Try this, run cf auto root, let it reboot, yank the battery, reboot to dl mode and flash ONLY the stock recovery from the update and reboot

Add this to your op so people don't freak out lol
I'm sure we'll get a working root method for 5.1.1, iirc I read the S6 running 5.1.1 was easily rooted, even without tripping KNOX
Can anyone post some screenshot of this release? Thanks in andvance!

No theme support. It's still a S6 exclusive.

I guess that will be exclusive for a limited time. I hope.

That's disappointing, my excitement for 5.1.1 has just disappeared.
