Ah hah, so I did read your first post correctly, you have the wrong SS and wrong thread. Have to find your phone thread.

[S4 ACTIVE/RECOVERY LOCKED/MF3] Safestrap Recovery v3.65 [2013-11-15]

Hmm, looks like it's the same file I mentioned back a few posts, 3.71 unless I'm supposed to use 3.65?

Go to that thread and download the SS from the op, 3.71 is our version, you need 3.65 from that thread.

I have been having the problem when my phone resets itself at 27% when it installs the kit kat update so I called AT&T and they are sending me a new phone. KNOX is still at 0x0 and i no longer have root but I never deleted safestrap. Will they count this as voiding the warranty? I cant find a way to remove it with out rooting the device all over again.Everything else on the phone is back to day one except the fact that it has safestrap. Is there anything that I can do?

Open a file browser, and delete the SS folder, factory reset (a full one, erase everything) that should do it.

Well, if you didn't update to kitkat then that means you could re root again. Use kingo to root and remove SS then unroot. It's only two clicks. That's IF you still have the phone.

ok

I have not tried any safestrap on my Vision roms, can someone look at the updater script and tell if safestrap would work?
I will help with making them compatible....:good:

 

[sonicthoughts]

What's all the fuss? Why are people going stock?

I have totally bought into the Kitkat + KnoxRaid goodness. I don't get why everyone is trying to get to the new OTA stock Kitkat? From what I understand there is still no root solution? I must be missing something ....

My phone is on NB4, never rooted

My goal is to have:
1. Kitkat + KnoxRaid + Root (obviously)
2. Ability to go to stock in case I need warranty, sell, etc. (and of course 0x0 in Knox bit)
3. I understand that I need Safetrap to get any new ROM on board
4. I need to move quick as AT&T will soon force upgrade to KK and prevent Root.

BUT NOW I'M HESITANT!With everyone trying to go to stock 4.4 and all the problems with downgrade, I'm worried that this is a bad move.

Oh great sages - please enlighten me:cyclops:

I need a few KnoxRaid users who are on KK to PM me and test out a new Safestrap for KK... I'd rather not drop it on the public have have it cause a bunch of ODIN flashing. :/

OK. I ran through a few tests with user @mutantblack who is on MLG kernel + NB4 firmware using a brand new Safestrap 3.72 build.

CURRENT ISSUES:
- Safestrap now requires a busybox installation to work correctly in KK. It's included in Drakey's ROM, but for stock you need to grab "Busybox" from the Play Store and run the installer. Not so much an issue as something that must be known.
- The Safestrap recovery installation ("Install Recovery" button in the APK) has some sort of issue where the files are not always installed correctly the first time. It's easy to see this when it happens, as there is no splashscreen showing up while rebooting. But a 2nd or 3rd install fixes it.

THE GOOD NEWS:
- Flashing @drakeymcmb's KNOXRAID V5.6 .zip to the stock partition (once Safestrap was installed) works great and I think many many users are looking for that functionality at the very least.

THE OK NEWS:
We also created / flashed to a rom-slot and while it does flash, it ends up bootlooping from what looks to be a mount setup issue on the rom-slots themselves. So I'll have to put out another update later for that.

QUESTION: Should I go ahead and do an initial beta release for KK users knowing all of the above?

KK UPDATE IS NOW UP.

READ THROUGH THIS PLEASE.

WARNING: BETA SOFTWARE. MAKE A BACKUP!

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

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] If you installed the custom-safestrap APK by @drakeymcmb please use "Uninstall Recovery" and then uninstall that APK before installing a new one. They have different signatures and you will end up with 2 Safestraps and 2 hijacks.. which is very NOT good.
• [v3.72] Busybox is now required for the Safestrap APK to work correctly
• [v3.72] ROM-SLOTs aren't supported yet
• [v3.72] "Reboot Recovery" doesn't work in the APK. I'll fix in the next release.

NEW TO v3.72:

• TWRP 2.7.0.x update for the base recovery. This includes vibration support, backup time/date fixes and more.
• ROM-SLOTs now have a 16gb size limit (vs 4gb previously) [THEY DON'T WORK YET IN KK THO SO BE PATIENT]

DOWNLOADS:
CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE USING AN AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3

THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE USERS ON MLG/NB4 FIRMWARE. IF YOU'RE ON OLDER FIRMWARE STAY WITH v3.71.
