Can we use safestrap on our phone and then can I flash any tmo rom on the rom slots as normal?

Why would you need it, your device is bootloader unlocked, if you attempt to use this on an unlocked bootloader, this could possibly brick your phone, as it patches a bypass to the bootloader...no, this would not be wise...be careful..
Good luck.
I just don't want to trip knox. ... And it's Kool to flash 4 roms to one phone to play around with. .. But yeah I don't want to brick it. .. If someone had used this successfully on this phone I would like to know. ..If not I hope they do something like this for ours. ...

I guess I wasnt very clear before. Several people have already used safestrap on this device (T-mobile note 3/hltetmo) without any apparent issues. All I did just now was type safestrap into the search box on the main page of the hltetmo page and this thread appeared.
Thanx only thing is you can't really flash anything tmo right now. .. And no asop... I'll wait till they expand. ..

I think what he was getting at is that you can flash AOSP ROMs, however since they contain a custom kernel it will trip KNOX. So if you are trying to avoid that, then no AOSP.
My knox is 0x1 so if im not afraid of tripping knox can i install aosp and kernels thru this if i installed it on my tmo n3?
I'm not sure TBH, very little experience with safestrap.. If you are already 0x1 why not just install a full recovery?
I like the rom slots... Its way nicer to be able to have the current rominstalled and build one on the side... Or i can have a tw and a aosp both installed
People with unlocked boot-loaders that want to be confined to a bootstrap........ hell hath frozen over. 
I just paid a final Verizon bill of almost $1k (including ETF's) because of locked bootloaders and being confined to SafeStrap. I am forever grateful to Hashcode for the freedom we have been given but you guys do realize that safestrap partitions up your internal memory into 2GB blocks for system partition and 2-4GB blocks for data partitions for each slot. If you really use your phone you are going to be plagued with out of memory warnings. Plus you cannot flash kernels meaning no AOSP roms either and no more Aroma installs among other things.
When I had my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and my AT&T Note 3 I always flashed everything to the stock slot and forgo the ROM slots alltogether. Then just backup and restore everything to the stock slot exactly like it was a real recovery. SO you might as well just do the same on a real recovery on the T-Mobile Note 3. Just backup and restore different ROM's (including AOSP!) at will. It may take a little longer to switch betweens ROMs this way but at least you don't have to jump through all those hoops or worse yet really mess up your device using a Safestrap not meant for your device.....all IMO of course.
