How to uninstall safestrap - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I uninstall safestrap and go back to stock if I did not backup?
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk

To uninstall Safestrap, go into the Safestrap app, click uninstall recovery, then you can uninstall the Safestrap app.

Right...removing SS with not remove root from your rom. .SS is the recovery. Are you trying to unroot your phone?

No I would like to back to stock rom altogether I don't like how I lost 30gb of space buy using safestrap
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Safestrap does not do that... The only way to do that is to create all the ROM slots.
If you are flashing ROMs the right way, (in the stock slot) you are taking up less space than the stock ROM.
Go the the general section if you want to return to stock. Find the NC2 restore thread.

I used stock rom slot and it is showing 32 total space when I have 64gb
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Because most people have the 32gb model. It is what the ROMs are built from. It will say you lost 30, but I promise you didn't.

Oh so it's a false positive then

Did you open the safe strap app and click remove recovery? If not reinstall the app, click remove recovery, then uninstall the app.

i thought i did that when i re flashed the stock Rom.... would i need to re-root?

Hmm, you may have to. The app asks for root privileges when you open it.

yes.... i just tried that and it force closed.....
dang it....

Yes you must be on the Jellybean leak, rooted, with Safestrap 3.0 installed.
Well I rebooted without wiping data or cache and now my phone won't boot.
Cannot enter SS3 either..
So this is a must, not a suggestion.

For you it was a must, in my other experience it's a suggestion. Always wipe if unsure. I will note this in the OP, however.
Yes go into boot options (power and both volume buttons) bp tools

Thanks man , great to see some Custom ROM Action :good:
Will definitely try it over the weekend .
Did everything like the op said and ended up in a boot loop.So i had to go to ap fastboot and use the utility 1.0 to go back to stock and start over.Not sure what went wrong.Will try again and see what happens.
Hey matt. Nice ROM... it looks really cool. Thanks.
For ppl with unlocked BL are the steps the same. Mine is a bell model and cant update to the leaked jellybean. Also do i need safestrap?
I now there's only like 2 of us in this situation here... thnx in advance

unsuccesful on my end as well just stayed at the boot animation all night RSD saved me though i might try again later
edit** tried twice now and still no dice boot loopin on tablet mode
bootloop
tried tablet version and went into bootloop.....and what happened to the safe strap recovery because this sucks having to rsd, update, root all over again. can i just root, install recovery then restore MY ORIGINAL backup and i assume thats without data. this was a simple op nothing should have went wrong...maybe leave save strap in???
I'm a giddy lil' b#!&h for this! I can't wait to get the time to figure all of this out and get this GORGEOUS ROM runnin! Thanks Matt and Sirhoover for all your work and testing!
Deep rooted in the mAtrix HD...

Well you can go to leaked Jellybean for AT&T if you are boot loader unlocked... You flash system and boot.IMG from ATT 77.12.22 then boot to stock recovery and install the jellybean leak after the normal root procedure ( root, ota root keeper, etc) see the threads for those Also might need to wipe data when flashing att files or boot loop.

For people having problems I hope you restored to a ROM Slot and wiped data/cache. This method has been tested by SirHoover2010 and he says it works.
It works.

download-droid-4-jelly-bean-update-98-72-18

Yesterday, Verizon approved Jelly Bean for the DROID 4 as build 98.72.18, but as is typical, Motorola sent the first wave of updates out to members of their feedback network (soak testers) this morning. And since that happened, the file has been pulled and made available to everyone with the device.
We have instructions for you below, so if you do not feel like waiting for the update to be pushed to your device, feel free to jump below.
The official changelog can be found here. here
Instructions:
*These are the instructions from the RAZR HD update, but they should work for the DROID 4 as well.
*You have to be running the official Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4) update of build 6.16.217. You also have to be completely stock.
1. Download the update file here: here
2. Drop that file on your SD card, not internal storage.
3. Turn phone off, and reboot into recovery.
*Hold both Volume Up and Down along with Power until you see the boot menu. Use Volume Down to hover over “Recovery.” Press Volume Up to select it.
*Once you see the Android and Exclamation point, press both Volume Up and Down at the same time.
4. Select “apply update from external storage.”
*Use Volume keys to highlight, Power button to select.
5. Then select the file you downloaded from above. It should already be on your SD card.
6. Watch as the update applies.
7. Once finished, choose the “reboot” option and enjoy!
DON'T FORGET TO SAY THANKS!

yes ots's will cause you to loose root
So do I need to De-root and remove safestrap before installing this, or can I just install and then root this?

Safeboot and restore complete stock ICS. Don't worry about losing root. RAZR blade method is confirmed to work. Unless u have no access to PC then yes backup root with voodoo only if u are using super user latest binary. Restore root after jb update.

does anyone know if this changes the kernel as with gingerbread to ics? curious to know if my ics custom rom will work in safestrap still or if its a done deal
Sorry for spamming on this topic, but just tried to install this after disabling safestrap and done factory reset.
got to recovery and chose the file, it started install but then gave error
"Assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/bin/logwrapper", "aHASHCODE" ,"ANOTHER HASHCODE")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

EDIT: OK I have to flash it completely stock with RSDlite and clean package, just downloading it..
EDIT2: Just installing this update, clean ICS with RSDlite helped

Is it possible to revert to the OEM 4.0.4 (6.16.217) firmware via the existing SBF?
Just curious, I haven't made the jump to JB yet.

Like rruleford said the only way to totally wipe/flash the entire phone would be to wait for the xml fastboot files. What you COULD try is placing the JB OTA update on your external sd card, then booting into stock recovery, wiping data and cache, and then re-flashing the update manually. It should be able to flash over top of itself just fine. Not sure if it would fix anything but might be worth a shot.

ok thanks you all, i guess i can wait for the fastboot files then.. it hasnt rebooted on me all day so far. might have been a glitch with apps i installed that no longer work well on jb as they did on ics

If you reset the phone you will still be rooted, any apps you deleted will still be gone, it will delete any apps you installed. If you are on MI1 and want to go back to where you were then you need to find the Odin build for MI1 and use Odin to flash it. I am not sure what having SS on your phone will do if you Odin back but to be safe, if you have SS installed I would un install it.

So couldn't I just get the RDLV I originally used and flash it..? I think it was like 1.8gb because it included mi1.
I may even still have it.
So you say to essentially re-perform the RLDV procedure?

If you still have your RDLV it should work just fine. If you want true stock MI1 then you need to find that firmware and flash it in Odin. If you want to keep root then use your RDLV.

ROM Manager/Backup on bootlocked S4?

ROM backup with ROM manager fails... any way i can do an image backup with my locked bootloader?
My guess is that, even if you could backup the ROM, you wouldn't be able to restore from it. So, a complete ROM backup has little value without root access at least.

Soft Brick after Wipe in Safe Strap

I am new to the note 3 and did a full wipe in the 'advance options'...Coming from the s4 that was standard and it apparently soft bricks the phone here.
I am able to get to download mode. It just hangs on the Samsung screen.
Do we have the odin files for 4.4.2? I was on N900 I think. (Literally just got the phone so cant remember)
See if you boot into recovery by holding power, home and down key. If so download a custom rom on your computer and put on a sd card and try to install that way. Otherwise try to odin back to stock. Good luck

He said he's on 4.4.2, so he most likely has the A3 bootloader. You cannot restore back to MJ5 once you're on the A3 bootloader.

I have no idea. I was attributing it to the fact i did a full wipe in advance. I cheeked all expect micro SD then flashed Dynamic Kat and the theme. Then it wouldn't get past the Samsung Logo screen.
Maybe it was an MD5 mismatch...
