**Safestrap-I537Active-3.75-KitKat.apk w/Working ROM Slots!**

See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56119330&postcount=336
Please use this thread in the General Section for non-development related discussion.

When time permits, I'll give it a shot. Kind of funny I'm going to uninstall my old (disabled ROM slot) Safestrap v. 3.73 for a newer Safestrap with the same version number.
Would my older TWRP Safestrap backups work in different slots to switch from NH3 to NE3 and then back again? Just curious if the locked bootloader would allow that, not that I have any inclination to revert from NH3 to NE3, because NH3 works better for me.
@muniz_ri, you've helped me out quite a bit in the past. Thank you for this SafeStrap slot development. You really should include a "Donate" link in your profile. :good:
Also, is it still advisable to flash the Safestrap i537_kitkat_masterpatch-v.2.zip?

Is the i537_kitkat_masterpatch-v.2.zip needed? It is referred to in the first post of the OP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791564
with a download link here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15875
Asking if this ...masterpatch-v2 is needed or not because of the following problems.
1. Safestrap slots were working although shutdown was problematic with 'long push'.
2. Within Safestrap, it failed to install i537_Update.zip with Slot-1 active. This .zip, thanks to @Devo7v, can be found in the first post of the OP here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2629093, under the heading I537UCUCNH3 (4.4.2) Released 2014-09-25 - OFFICIAL
Unofficial Flashable Zip 127MB (can only be flashed through SafeStrap) FYI, this zip matched its MD5 signature.
I also had over 6Gb of internal storage available.
Has anyone successfully installed i537_Update.zip with this 'fixed' version of SafeStrap into an extra ROM slot?
In the meantime I am back to rooted NH3 along with "disabled single Stock slot" version of Safestrap.

I think you're a little bit confused about what the i537_Update.zip is for. That zip file updates your stock NE3 firmware to NH3. It will update system files, the modems, and parts of the kernel. It should not be used on any custom ROMs or ROM slots. It should only be used to update your stock ROM. The reason it was posted is because if you are currently rooted on NE3 firmware, you cannot install the official OTA update without completely wiping your phone and returning to stock NE3. The i537_Update.zip bypasses the signature checks in the OTA and allows you to update your phone from NE3 to NH3 whether you're rooted or not.
I haven't used the newest version of SafeStrap but I'm almost certain you would need to flash the masterpatch-v2 after flashing a custom ROM to a new ROM slot. The masterpatch allows the custom ROM to access certain functions of your stock kernel; without it you're probably going to have issues with your wifi and camera on your new ROM. Hopefully I was able to clear things up and not confuse you even more.

Works with custom rom
I got Hyperdrive v19 working with rom slot. I flashed the masterpatchv2 and everything seems to be working. Starting this process I had rooted stock NE3 and removed the old safestrap as instructed. Installed the new safestrap, created rom slot, and flashed rom and patch. Install was simple with no problems.
If anyone has questions I can give more details or help troubleshoot.

I've tried installing SS 'til the cows came home and not having any luck. Even ran the SELinux mode changer (set to permissive) and tried the install again. I'm rooted on 4.4.2/NH3. I've scanned the threads but haven't seen any answers pop out for me. The popups in the SS app say it was installed successfully, but the State continually says "Not installed".

Do you have xposed framework installed? Did you make sure to temporarily uninstall it before installing safestrap? I hit my head against a wall for a few days before I realized that one, myself.

Nope, don't have xposed installed. Can't figure this one out!
Thinking about just pulling the apk apart and shoving the bits in where they "belong" (effectively reversing the manual SS uninstall steps).
But it's way too late at night for me to think about that right now.

Ahh, my bad. I had just assumed (and you know what they say about that) that since it was the same version and from androidfilehost, that it was the first one I had grabbed.
This one installed successfully and it just finished creating rom-slot-1 for me!
Doing a backup of the base rom... then on to installing hyperdrive into rom-slot-1 and applying masterpatchv.2. Am I missing any steps there or is it really that simple now?
Update: Installed HD 18.1, insalled master patch.2, enabled USB debugging so I could enter APN settings. Still had the camera FC, speakerphone wouldn't work and wi-fi would not turn on.
Going back to stock and restoring my backup for now... will have to try this again later.

A little more specific? Don't see either of those files sitting around on my phone (which is back to running stock).
I packaged up my own zip last night adding in all of the /etc/wifi files and also updated the dhd.ko and scsi_wait_scan.ko files in there (the ones in the masterpatch zip were outdated when compared with my stock versions). But it was all to no avail.

[ROM][STOCK[MM 6.0]XT1096 verizon flashable stock rom

Due to the request of various members I have started a topic here for the rom for the xt1096 verizon model with android 6.0 marshmallow. This rom was developed by @hutchjim using the xt1097 marshmallow as a base.
Installation:
To install the rom, flash the zip from a custom recovery such as TWRP/CWM/etc.
Root:
To root this rom @donslade has stated that the files for the XT1095 work for it. They can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105

What the difference between this rom and 1095 MM Rom

This one has support for verizon cdma. It is only useful for people who use verizon service.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk

AGISCI - Thanks for creating this thread. I hope we will have participation from folks who will test and provide feedback. I also hope that hutchjim will also provide info on how this ROM was created and what changes he made.
I believe the ROM is debloated from most of the Verizon apps and installs TWRP 2.8.7 as recovery. All of the Motorola Apps are there and function as expected from my experience. My phone connected to Verizon for voice and data. I do not know what other changes were made.
My experience to date has been mostly positive with just a few issues. I'll list those in a message a bit later. For now here is my interpretation of hutchjim's installation instructions:
1. Perform factory reset/wipe. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND ALL DATA ON IT. Either the built in reset/wipe of using TWRP. I used TWRP 3
2. Flash ROM
3. Perform another reset/wipe. I used TWRP 3
4. Phone will boot to initial setup. Follow prompts. Hutchjim says not to setup wifi during this phase but I see no way to avoid that. I connected to my home wifi at this point and continued setup.
5. As soon as you can go into Settings go to Cellular Networks > CDMA and select RUIM. No other changes should be made in the Cellular settings. You can also go to Backup & Reset > Reset Network Settings and reset there. Verify that the CDMA > RUIM setting is still selected.
6. Reboot and verify network settings.
7. Continue setup/restore from previous backup from Google. Any apps that need updating for MM will do so during the restore.
Doing the above results in a phone running 6.0.1 which identifies itself as a XT1097. I'll post a screen shot of the ABOUT phone screens later.
To root I used the files from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105
Flash using TWRP
1. root-boot-6.0-xt1095.zip
2. UPDATE-SuperSU-2.65.zip (there might be a newer one out there but this one worked for me. It should update later if needed)
After this I was able to install the latest Exposed framework and app, Gravity MM, XGELS and AOSPSignal icons modules with no problems.
I had been using this ROM with no real issues since last Friday. Legacystar reported that his phone was Roaming after he installed the ROM. Mine was not Roaming worked great - until this morning when it went into Roaming a couple of hours ago. Nothing I did could make it change back. I restored a backup of this ROM from Saturday but the phone is still Roaming. I've now gone back to my last 5.0 backup and will try to reinstall the ROM later when am back home. Will update then.
Here is a list of items I think we need more info on:
1. What was the base ROM for this? I think it is XT1097 based but it may be XT1095 since the XT1095 root files work.
2. What changes were made to get this to work wit the XT1096 radio and allow CDMA operation?
3. How do the Cellular settings work and how can they be improved for this ROM?
4. How to bypass the network setup screen during initial MM setup?
Hope this helps. I'll update more after work and when I reinstall the ROM. Until then I hope more testers chime in with their experiences.

1) It is based on xt1097, specifically on retla which is the retail latin america variant. I am not surprised that the root files for xt1095 work since the xt1097 and xt1095 are extremely similar.
2) He sent me a list of some of the changes, I will dig through the files modified to get more details on what changed.
I was sent a new version by @hutchjim, it is uploading to google drive now. Hopefully in the new version the roaming problem is fixed.

Thanks for the update. I had notice that it did say retla in the system version. Need to pay attention to the baseband info.. Based on that I don't need to upload the About Phone screens then.

Alright, sorry for the long delay. My internet is messed up right now. I started the upload last night and left it running. I woke up to a failed upload message. I started it again and it took 5 hours to upload... anyway, I have updated the first post with the link to the new version. Please try it out and let us know if you have issues with roaming still.

I have had the roaming issue since I installed the original MM posted a few days ago but even though the R is showing by 4g it still allows me to access data through 4g. Hope I am not going to incur the financial wrath of big red. lol. I was reading this forum using it. Anyway, I want to say thanks for those putting in the work to try and figure this out and support a stock MM rom for the xt1096. I will test the new version as soon as I get it downloaded and report back if the roaming issue persists for me.

I have updated to the latest version of stock MM offered on first post and can confirm that the R roaming symbol is gone. I have rebooted several times and finished setting my phone up how I want it. The only issue I had during the process of installing and setting up this version of MM is that upon rebooting the first 2 times I had a pop up saying "Unfortunately, Verizon Login has stopped."
I rebooted into twrp and installed reinstalled the root and su zips and upon reboot the pop up went away. I guess I was wrong to assume that the order for installing the zips were 1)root boot for 1095, 2)Super SU and 3) MM Rom. After reading that in order it makes more sense to load the Rom then the root and su zips. Oh well, all is well that ends well.

Has anyone figured out how to bypass the wifi setup screen during setup?

Wrong forum.

i just loaded the new version and still getting the roaming. also having the verizon app crash on startup.

To skip WiFi setup, put sim card in on welcome screen so after boot put sim,
also roaming is gone for me but I just get data, no voice on some reboots voice aval even when it says out of service same last build.
Roaming was an issue older build new build fixed, voice still wonky for me

No network connection on my Note 4. Please Help!

So I noticed that I lost my network connection randomly. I didn't download anything recently other than a few icon packs and I don't think I updated any apps or anything like that. I was on Aurora Full Note7 rom for many months with no significant issues until I noticed this yesterday. I've tried 2 other roms since, one being the 6.0.1 Stock Rooted Odex with clean installs on both and the issue still persist, but when I boot into safe mode the issue goes away and I have network connection again. I never had this issue before, so I don't know how to track this down and what needs to be deleted. Recovery is TWRP v2.8.7.0. Please help!

How to update R1 to the latest OTA Update?

Hey All,
I'm looking for some help nito update this device to the latest OTA update. I have installed TWRP 3.0.2.0 that came with the dirtycow method. The device found the latest updated released in the past few days but when going to install it, it brings up the TWRP (which is how it should install). Now I don't mind if I can't grab this latest version due to whatever reason, but how would I go about updating the device? Currently it's running the stock version 6.1 6/17/2016.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but still kinda new with Android devices and the whole rooting process. I'd like to be able to keep TWRP if at all possible and keep this device updated. Also I saw there was a updated TWRP released, how would I go about updating the recovery?
Thanks a lot for the help anyone can give!

Already tried it and it doesn't work. She uses the phone to play Pokemon Go and sadly the modified version you've made gives the error that the device or software is not supported. I believe this is due to the method you are using to remove the ads and custom changes made to the ROM, which I don't personally care if the phone has them or not. I'm wanting to install OTA updates without any heavy modifications made, just the ability to keep TWRP but have an updated phone.

Will be redoing the patch again and making not pre-rooted version. But if your app is not working on the modified 7.4.2 there is nothing I can do.

I see V8 but do not see a 7.4.2 on there.
EDIT: Nevermind I found it, will try the modified 7.4.2 and get back to you.

I want to say thank you a lot, this worked wonderfully! Only issue is Google Plus doesn't work (not a huge deal for the wife) but everything else is working great!
One last question, what is the recommended TWRP to use with this phone, I currently have the 3.0.2.0 Vampire version installed.

I have seen it mentioned that Google + does not work on 8.3 in general not just this modified one.
That recovery is the one I use and has advantage over the other one (lopestom's versio) in that in recovery you can use external sdcard and also mtp connection.

Oreo OTAs

Close thread

Should I bother trying this? What's new? I'm on U firmware which I like but should I wipe to go to Oreo?

Anybody tried this?

Personally I think is not worth it. This is not final build and will delete data from your device. Then next one will show up in couple days or even (maybe) tomorrow. If I will you I will wait for around another 3-4 weeks to get more stable build.
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA Premium HD app

I tried it -- the installation took about an hour in Recovery, mainly stayed in the "Patching system files". This install *WILL* wipe your phone (not your SD card though).
The build was super fast (even faster than a fresh Nougat flash).
There were two things that caused me to flash back to Nougat.
- The Wi-Fi was extremely weak. At my desk at work, I can normally see 6 Wi-Fi networks. 4 of them are in my office. With Oreo, I could only see two of them, and it struggled to stay connected to the one that I normally have full signal on.
- Also, my AT&T Gear S2 Classic could not be connected. Upon attempting to pair (after confirming the PIN on phone/watch) Samsung Gear gave a message stating that I need to ensure my phone was compatible and that I had the latest Samsung Gear app. I confirmed that there were no available updates for ANYTHING in the Play Store and Galaxy Apps. Both stores showed that my app was up to date.
If it weren't for those two issues, I'd still be on the Oreo build right now.
Another point -- I experienced my first freeze/reboot on this phone in Oreo. I've had the phone since June of last year and never had any freeze/reboot issues previously. Never dropped or gotten the phone wet, etc.
Hope this helps anyone who is wanting to flash the build!

DO you know can i install this update on my 935U model and how can i do it ?

You need to ODIN to 935A's latest build (BRA1) then you can upgrade to this Oreo build by flashing it in Recovery.

BRA1 ODIN Files
Thanks to @norbarb for that link. I downloaded it the other day. You will have to unRAR the files after you open the initial ZIP file -- otherwise ODIN won't find the files.

Without a PC, you cannot update to Oreo unless you're already on the AT&T G935A firmware.

As far as I can tell, there's not an OTA sideload update path to BRA1. Someone else may be able to chime in with it.
I assume you are not an AT&T customer, otherwise you could use the official OTA method to get to BRA1.

Thanks for the feeback, I tried this and I agree on weak Wifi on Oreo. I will keep and play with it for sometime before going back to Nougat. Hopefully new stable version shows up soon.

You are a lucky man because i'm flashing via adb and only 59 %. Which issue with a WiFi ? Can you please provide me more information and maybe do you know who will it fix ?
Thank you

I face the same issues you have described. Originally after applying the Oreo update, I was not able to enable Bluetooth nor WiFi. I had to reboot to recovery and wipe cache.
Once that was done, I was able to get WiFi and Bluetooth to work.
I have the Galaxy Fit2 and was not able to sync watch to the phone with the same error you received. ( I tried the version 3..1.80.80109 of Samsung Accessory Service as suggested in another thread, no luck.)
WiFi as you described is pitiful, luckily I don't rely on WiFi as much so I will continue on with this Oreo build.

Does anyone know how to turn off the red heart rate sensor light off? It is accidentally turning on even if I dont get my finger on it after oreo update

Wifi issue meaning weak signals in Wifi connection on Oreo. I simply followed the steps in flashing through SD card and it took a while (40 mins or so) but eventually it went through the install.
