[Q] Safestrap is not working

[tong1213]

I'm using JB so I installed SS 3.71. After trying everything installing thousands of times Busybox. My safestrap is still not working. Everytime I reboot, the choosing screen does not show....WHY?!

I'm crazy...........:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Did you install busybox app, then open busybox app and install symlink applets?

You can also install this busybox check app to verify you have root access and proper busybox installation.

SS 3.71 doesn't need busybox, only the KK version 3.75 needs busybox can you post your device's about screen that could help troubleshoot...

Using the right version ss, right? I believe there is a separate one for jb.

Hmm that's the right version for JB...try hitting "install" again and rebooting (with the power button not from the app) if it's still not working can you post a screen shot of your device info? Menu > system settings > general > about

Looks good, you might want to start over with a clean install of safestrap...

1) verify you have root access https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
2) uninstall busybox
3) uninstall safestrap recovery (in the app)
4) uninstall safestrap app
5) reboot
6) redownload (just in case of bad download) and install safestrap 3.71
7) open safestrap app and grant root access
8) install safestrap recovery
9) reboot

If you get any errors then you may need to reroot or head over to the MJ5 restore thread

After the last step in the restore process did you verify that you have root access and SuperSU is installed properly?

Yes I did. I did everything that has to be done......

Is there anyway I can upgrade to KK without using safestrap?

Yes you can go straight to official NC2 here. It's a straightforward odin flash but read all the warnings, once you flash NC2 you can't go back to JB or install any JB-based roms

Thanks man!!!!! really appreciate your help!

Sorry I wasn't able to help with safestrap but the jump to KK is easy and with towel root rooting takes 3 seconds..and the kitkat roms out there are great if you're of the rom-flashing persuasion Hope everything works out for you!
