Just the opposite actually. Devs want to be the one who "cracked" it! Do one will leave if they are serious about finding root. There's even a bounty of cash for the one who does and it's grown pretty large, I believe it' into the thousands of dollars last I read.
I asked this on another thread and was told it could not be done without a special phone programmer. Why? Assuming the hardware is the same (and I can not really believe it would be) What could it hurt to try? (Maybe brick mode of some sort?
Install safestrap 3.71 and it will fix the issue, may have to Google for it
I tried 3.72 first and then I removed that and tried 3.71
You have root obviously so, did you uninstall recovery then SS app, install new SS and redo recovery? And it still failed?
Yes. I'm retrying it now should I try a 3.6X version?
I wouldn't think it would work. Did super su ask for rights for SS?
Yes, for SS and busybox. At first su said it couldn't update the su script or whatever but then when I restarted my phone a few times the message was gone.
Strange, SS shows recovery installed? But reboot never shows the SS splash?
Correct. I've uninstalled it several times and then re-installed it shows it's installed so I go to Reboot to recovery. The only thing I see when I reboot is the Samsung Note 3 with the custom unlock logo at the bottom then it goes Android is upgrading screen, should I repeat this whole process?
Sounds like something went wrong during the process.
What do you think my issue is?
I would say yes, but I can't figure out where it would have gone wrong. Root, Su, is all you need for SS to do its thing.
Like you said clothednblack, you have to prove you have root, like es explorer or some root app from the market that needs root.
Been there myself, just trying to figure out what's going on with his phone. Not easy without it in front of me lol
I didn't remove anything after the process was finished. When I re-do the process what files should I remove? Also even when I first go the phone, it never had this android upgrading screen after each reboot. Is this because I didn't remove certain files or?
The rdlv file on the root of the phone isn't needed after you achieve root, it can be removed. If that still doesn't fix it, then it wouldn't hurt to try an older version of SS before starting all over again
If you still have the Restore for MJ5 files, then your should be MJ5, so you have to use the old MJ5 safestrap 3.71 and the files I posted Togetsafestrap
It worked
a million thank yous to everyone you helped me!!!!It worked
