I am wondering if anyone will ever come up with a boot loader unlock so we don't have to deal with safestrap?

Holy **** you are not going to believe this. IT WORKED! Why? No clue. A few minutes ago I was bored and decided to try again. And boom, it worked. NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING has change since I first tried. I've installed some new apps, but that is all. Now I have to figure out what roms I wanna try. Suggestions?

Mine is doing this as well and it's very frustrating. I'm using 3.75 and I'm rooted.

Edit:
I figured it out. I had downloaded busybox but hadn't ran and installed it. Once I did this it worked correctly.

    Hi everyone. Not sure anyone will be able to help me, but I figured I'd chance it. I also hope that I'm asking this in the right area. If not I apologize. So I got a Note 3 (AT&T) today. IN LOVE! After doing some reading I used Kingo to root. Everything went great and my phone is now rooted. To confirm this I downloaded root checker from the play store and it confirmed that my phone is definitely rooted.

    After some more research I came across safestrap. For the last 2-3 hours I have been trying to install it with zero luck. Basically, after I download the 3.71 apk, installed the apk, followed the prompts and completed the installation safestrap says that the installation was complete. Unfortunately, the state: still shows not installed and I am unable to choose reboot to recovery. It's greyed out and can't be selected. Any chance that anyone knows why this is happening? I have tried just about everything that I can think of and the result has been the same every time. Sorry so long, but this is driving me crazy and I wanted to be thorough with my explanation. Thanks in advance for any help or fixes that you come up with.

    click on safestrap in your app drawer then click install recovery

    That's what I figured. No biggie though. I am pretty satisfied with root and xposed framework. I've managed to delete and/or disable most of the apps that I don't use our want. I'll try to figure it out again if/when a new version of safestrap is released. Granted, I really don't think that it'll make a difference. My phone seems to have a grudge against safestrap. Oh well. Thanks again!
