Earlier you had said you used this to unbrick your S3. I have a S3 on mb1 is it possible to unbrick it, and if so how?
Yea, I'm a bit spoiled with my Kindle Fire... Stock ROM and CM11 at the same time :good:
yes this will work for nandroids
i used the unbrick sdcard image trick for you you would need the pre 4.3 sdcard image
for everyone else this is meant to be a recovery solution for the people that upgraded to 4.3 and want to be able to flash custom touchwiz roms based off of the 4.3 verizon ota. this wont let u run 5 different aosp roms for the "unlocked crowd" as this is required to be used with the stock 4.3 rom as the "stock slot" and by installing the aosp roms and kernel u would most likely mess up the hijack as its kernel related iirc(hash would have to verify) if you are unlocked stick to twrp or cwm. thats my .02
also this probably wont work with 4.1.2 roms as the kernel changed ALOT for 4.3.. right now ur only options are the stock rom and old&slows deodex custom rom. soon you guys will have a nice fresh jellybeans 4.3 rom to play with as well

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
I've found this out since then. I've been playing around with it and the exposed framework. Can't get theming to quite work but that's not for this thread. Is there any chance of a cm10.2 Rom with the tw kernel in the future?

MisterSprinkle's Slapnuts ROM works as well. Flashed it last night and its running perfect.

My bricked S3 is on mb1 and was working just fine it turned off with 45% battery life left while watching a movie and wouldn't turn back on, no recovery or Odin mode nothing its like it doesn't have a battery in it. When my replacement came I tried that battery but it still didnt work. A soft brick is easy to fix is there a way to fix a hard brick or whatever happened to mine.
If you accepted and successfully upgraded to the VRUCML1 OTA, no. Not at all.

Hey beans glad to to see you got all things up and running and when you drop your new jelly beans version will those that are still unlocked be able to use it or will it just be those who took the ota. And I apologize for the quite possible silly question and thanks for all you do brother

Do we need to flash the kernel with that also, or just upload the ROM into a slot and be good to go?
Hey guys, I am on unlocked bootloader but just wanted to say you guys do amazing work. To get this out within weeks of all the issues, and doing it for a phone that, while popular, is on the way out is fantastic. Kudos to you! @Hashcode and @BeansTown106

*** DISCLAIMER ***
I work on projects that may brick your device. Don't sue me, hate me or try and kill my dog if that happens. I will feel bad the community will feel bad and hopefully we'll find a way to get you going again. But, the very nature of my projects involves a certain amount of risk taken by YOU. And by using the projects that I work on, you've accepted that fact.
CURRENTLY THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
THANK YOU @BeansTown106 FOR HELPING ME DEBUG THIS

v3.71: Testing
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.1.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
- Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (3-4 on the S3 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
- You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
- Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
For more information you can read up here:

HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
- Requirement: Root
- Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
- Download the Safestrap APK
- Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".
- (If updating from an existing Safestrap you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the "Yes" equivalent to this message.)
- Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
- Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
- Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
- From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
- That's it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3.x
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press under the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting.
By "under", I mean on the touch key portion of the front display on either side of the center button.

As of version 3.6x, Safestrap Recovery is now based on TWRP 2.6.3.x. For more on TWRP you can visit their website: http://www.teamw.in/
WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.
For the purposes of direct user testing I've established a channel on freenode.net IRC: #safestrap
I'm in the channel mostly all the time, but may not be active for discussion.
