[Q] Help with safestrap plz...

that_wasnt_nice said:

Hi, i'm having issues with installing recovery with safestrap.

I have successfully rooted my device using saferoot and confirmed that I have SU access. I then installed Safe Strap 3.71 and followed all instructions, but when I click on "Install Recovery", it brings a pop-up that starts & completes the installation, however, after its completed installing, nothing happens... At the top where it says "State", its still showing "Not Installed" and at the bottom, for "Safe System" its still saying "Not Active" and the "reboot to recovery" is grayed out

any suggestions on how to get past this problem? i've tried re-installing multiple times with both 3.71 and 3.70 but it is still not working.

i'm on AT&T, android 4.3 with build MK2

Thanks!

I am having the same problem with SafeStrap 3.71 saying System Disabled when I reboot. So I downloaded the ROM Manager app from the Play Store for CWM 6.0.4.4 and it doesn't give me the back-up/restore option in its menu. Then when I select reboot under the droid icon on the screen it says error. Hopefully someone can help us out with this! As I really would like to get the GUMMY ROM KitKat 4.4 running on my phone this weekend!!

Also I tried to flash CWM in, but when I get into the last step of the Terminal Emulator is doesn't work ;(

What rom are you on, stock or custom? Safestrap will show to be disabled on the stock rom even when it's installed. It shows active when running a custom rom that is installed on it.

i am currently on the stock rom... the only things i've done is install saferoot and safestrap so far.... i wanted to install another rom but i thought that I needed "Safe system" to be active so I can click "reboot to recovery" and install new roms?? but right now the "reboot to recovery" button is greyed out.

Hey John, I tried re-booting but im not getting any prompts to go into safestrap revocery. All I see is samsung written on the top with a silver padlock below, with the words "custom" written under the lock. After that screen it goes into the regular at&t startup.

Is there a way to force activate safestrap on re-boot?
