Yeah I asked and he said it was a typo on the the other thread, MJ7 is the newest update

Woops typo. Fixed the caption above the download link.

The new OTA is MJ7 and this is the ODIN file to match."

quick ? about not active

this is truly amazing work. this news really made my day :) i have a quick question. just to make sure i have followed instructions correctly...i have the MI9, original factory on the phone that i rooted with the delavega software. SU is on there, busybox, etc...the phone is successfully rooted. i installed safestrap according to instructions. it boots to the splashscreen but it says "Inactive". i can enter the SS recovery, check out all the settings, do the backup, then reboot and "continue" into the operating system. once the phone is booted, i enter the safestrap software and the State is "Installed" but the Safe System says "not active". did i somehow screw something up or is this how everything should be? thanks for your patience with my question in case the issue has been dealt with before.

I just want to say "THANKS!" to those that sent donations.

Means a lot to me, as I know many of you don't have a lot of extra cash lying around to put into this stuff.

Game on. :)

I have been around the community for 3 or 4 years now, the one thing that has never changed is "Hashcode". The money we pay you is not enough to express our appreciation, nor is it enough to show how amazing you really are!!! Thank you for supporting the community and always being there to help. It was an honor to donate and I/we will continue to donate to people like you.

P.S if you want to help find a way to block Kingo for stealing my stuff so I can root hahahahahahaha

I wish it was that easy. It's actually using the PC's internet connection to send back the info while it's downloading and trying each exploit. Kind of no way to block it and keep the download for the exploits working.

Great work Hash. Been following on Rootzwiki. Glad to see it over here at XDA.

To those asking about the "Active" state, you'll only see that if you boot to a rom slot. If you're on the stock rom slot, it wont be active. You wont be "safe" to tinker. If it's active you're in "safe" mode. Get it?

Then can we can grab modem.bin from N900VVRUBMJ7_N900VVZWMJ7_N900VVRUBMJ7_HOME.tar.md5 posted by HashCode and "dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/whatever/modem_partition_is"? From what I see modem.bin is just a partition image in vfat format. I realize that I may sound silly and I would appreciate if anyone could give me a link to technical description of how it actually works.

I'd be interested to know if this works as well. I'm looking to upgrade my modem to the latest OTA. The system will soon be used in roms, so no worries there.

So, I rooted via De La Vega the day gears released and am still on MI9. I've also installed the beta version of SS the same day Hash released it. I haven't done anything about updating to the latest OTA, so I obviously still have root.

I understand I need to install the latest stable release of SS, but do I have to upgrade to the MJ7 then root again before doing so?

Like all of us I just want to be prepared to flash a ROM as soon as that is available. And I want to make sure my phone is in the proper setup before doing so. Ive never used SS, hence the questions. Thanks in advance, friends.

No need to update to MJ7 yet. Let's see how the stock MJ7-based ROMs work on the MI9 kernel. And if needed we can embed the modem firmwares into the ROM instead of using them from the modem partition.

    ATTENTION: I will be stopping official Safestrap support on 9/1/2014. For more information please see:
    https://plus.google.com/111109372727398356624/posts/AtoJ3xLj35b


    *** 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.

    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.

    Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Safestrap

    CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
    STABLE v3.65 (JB) / BETA v3.75-B03 (NC2/KK)


    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 2.7.1.x (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:
    1. Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (2 on the N3 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for different sizes of /system, /data and /cache partitions. The defaults *SHOULD* be good enough for flashing the stock-based ROMs.

      NOTE: The bigger you make these partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. For more information you can read up here:
      http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/

    HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
    1. Requirement: Root
    2. [NEW FOR v3.72+ KK Safestrap] Requirement: busybox. If your stock ROM doesn't have it built-in you need to grab "Busybox" from the Play Store and run the installer.
    3. Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
    4. Download the Safestrap APK
    5. Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".
    6. (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.)
    7. Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
    8. 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..
    9. 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.
    10. 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.
    11. That's it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3.x

    INSTALL VIDEO by DMX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RZIyeUMK-Y&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    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 the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).

    HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
    • Push the APK up to your sdcard.
    • Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
    • [NEW 2013-12-19]Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
    • THEN, open a "file explorer" of some sort (even TW "My Files" will work)
    • Browse to where you pushed the APK
    • Click on it and install like normal
    • Once installed, open the APK
    • Grant SU access
    • Use the "Install Recovery" button
    • All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using

    KNOWN ISSUES:
    • [v3.72] Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again. (DEBUGGING THIS AS I GET TIME)
    • [v3.72] Busybox is now required for the Safestrap APK to work correctly
    • [v3.72] "Reboot Recovery" doesn't work in the APK
    • If you don't see files on "Micro SDcard" for some reason try tapping that area and swapping to "Internal Storage" and then back again.
    • No Aroma installer support. This is due to the stock Note 3 kernel framebuffer. To build a recovery which worked, it needed QCOM patches. So will Aroma.
      If you try a .zip file with an Aroma installer, it will most likely just hang.
    • If you use the "4way reboot" mod, then "Reboot Recovery" button in the Safestrap APK won't work correctly.

    NEW TO v3.75:
    • [ONLY ON NC2 BOOT.IMG] ROM-SLOTs are BACK! (16gb size limit)[/B]
    • Lots of bugfixes for KK TW builds

    As of version 3.75, Safestrap Recovery is now based on TWRP 2.7.1.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.

    Special Thanks To
    DeesTroy & TeamWin for all their hard work making TWRP such a fantastic recovery. If you are considering a donation, then please have a look at the Team WIN website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

    As the current (v3.65/v3.71) Safestrap is *NOT* compatible with 4.4
