I am looking for a good rom to try on slot 2 on att note 3. I'm on NC2 and I don't want to I install anything that will change that and stop safe strap from working. I have the stock rom on stock slot. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks
I don't think the other ROM slots work on note 3 with lollipop installed. I've tried it and couldn't get the ROM to work.

Does anyone know if I can use the file N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.MD5 in Safestrap to create another stock rom on my phone?
My idea is to have the Stock ROM slot my everyday use phone, and on Rom Slot 2 another stock rom with every app possible locked/frozen except the camera.
Thanks for any help
hi everyone, im a newbie and im having a little trouble understanding and fixing my phone.
so ill start at the beginning, i bought a note 3 from at&t N900A and then moved out of the US (after contract expired and i sim unlocked with the code they gave me.)
I could not connect to at&t servers from outside US to OTA update. (i dont remember if i was mj5 or mi9)
So i learned about rooting while trying to update and decided to use kingo root app and got root access
then i installed safestrap 3.71 for a custom recovery, then i backed up my stock rom and made a new rom slot. Then i resorted my stock rom to rom slot 1.
this is my mistake: i flashed the knoxraid rom from here
http://galaxynote3root.com/att-galaxy-note-3-roms/knoxraid-kitkat-rom-for-att-galaxy-note-3/
however i forgot to do the data/factory wipe. To make matters worse i realized this and pulled the battery out after about 20 seconds (the download bar was about 10% complete)
when i put the battery back in the phone went straight to recovery (recovery and download mode were the only ones working)
i started panicking as this was my first time rooting/installing roms and tried to find a solution
i found one and used this:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-unbrick-att-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900a/
i flashed all the files correctly and odin got to about 95% and the said FAIL
i panicked again when i turned my phone on and it went to an error screen saying firmware upgrade incountered an issue etc.
before i harm my device further i would like to know what to do (i can still get to download mode)
odin mode say it is A2 so i belive that is mj5
i want to know: should i reflash stock mj5, and if so please provide link
should i do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48243768&postcount=1
should i use the N900AUCUBMI9_OneClickBin.exe
or should i flash nc2 files found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117
will the nc2 kitkat brick my device? keep in mind it is running A2 which im sure is mj5
Thank you everyone in advance
NC2 won't brick your device, but it'll upgrade your bootloader to A3 which will prevent you from ever downgrading back to MJ5 (not that you'd want to anyway). I'd just go with NC2 since it's rootable with TowelRoot anyway. Also, in your case I'd recommend using the 4-file method rather than the 1-file method since it's an upgrade from 4.3 rather than just a restore to stock 4.4.2.

You might want to consider adding the Pit file too to repartition your phone just in case anything got messed up in the failed odin flash that would definitely clean everything up. It might be overkill but I don't think it would hurt to do since you're doing a factory reset with the 4-file install anyway
Hi, having a problem, I was getting ready to flash a custom rom on my new Att Galaxy S4 NG3, everything was ready to go I was in safestrap, advanced > formatted everything and then the battery fell out. Now all I get is the splash screen that says Samsung with the custom lock on it....

First, is it an S4 or S5? Double check that BEFORE trying these next steps. Find the ODIN file for your phone and you'll have to start over. ODIN, root with towelroot, install busybox, install safestrap and be on your way.
It is the S5, At&t Version, and I can't seem to find the stock ROM anywhere, I have the NG3 firmware edition.
For anyone else curios I was able to solve my problem. Although I could not find the newest exact version that was on my phone, I used the previous version from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785185
and was able to use odin to reflash the ROM and am now starting over with the process to safestrap and custom ROM's.
I rooted with towel root NC2 and safe strap and was using some roms like firekat and firenote but they didnt change the kernel. Recently I downloaded one of the lollipop alliance roms and installed on the stock slot and it changed my kernel to OC1. Now safe strap doesn't work and I want to go back to where I was before. I wouldn't mind going to a lollipop rom that is rooted. Or just plain stock rom that is rooted. I need help since there is so many different tutorials and methods and things to download. I'm newer on the rooting and such, so any help is appreciated. I am able to use the phone still it just doesn't cycle thru safe strap on the boot like it did before and sometimes it won't even boot up it just freezes and I have to factory reset to get it back. So I quit restarting. I'm limping on one leg so to speak. I assume I have installed something wrong and I just want guidance towards something rooted and stockish. Link me a tutorial or something or just give it to me straight. I have better than average skills in this but I mainly follow guides of some kind. So keep it as simple as possible. Thanks

Safestrap doesn't work with kernels newer than NC2, so in order for safestrap to work, you can do either of the following things-
1. The simpler way (do this if after getting safestrap to work again, you want to install a pre-rooted stock OC1 ROM) : Install the apk NC2flasher. It'll flash the NC2 kernel and then when you reboot, you'll get access to safestrap once again. Download it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3452253&d=1440595672. Before installing the apk, download the pre-rooted OC1 stock rom from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934549604 and place it on your device storage/extSD card. After rebooting into safestrap, factory reset and flash the zip and you're good to go!
2. The more intensive way (do this if you want to rollback to NC2 stock completely):
Download odin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
Download the stock odin flashable NC2 files from here: https://mega.nz/#F!wg5wRQrQ!vR7a6pze9dgSWjbaRSyhWA
Warning: These are data_wipe tars, so take complete backup since the internal memory of the device will be erased completely (backup to PC/cloud/extSD card)
Put your phone in the download mode; it can be done through pressing the volume down and home button simultaneously while powering up the phone.
You'll notice that the 2 starting characters of the files (BL,AP,CP and CSC) are the same as the options found in Odin. Keeping the default checkboxes on the left side as they are, load the files in Odin as they match with their downloaded counterparts (ie. BL in BL, CP in CP, CSC in CSC and AP in AP) and flash it.
You're done!
Awesome thank you
