I'm on VRUDMI1, rooted and I installed safestrap. Then I installed CM rom on the stock rom (which is a mistake, I know this know).
Then I reboot and I get the Safestrap splash screen that says Safestrap disabled with recovery and continue button. If I click on the recovery button it takes me back in to Safestrap. But if I click on the Continue button, it turns off my phone. How do I fix this? I would like to remove Safestrap and get my phone working again. Thank you in advanced.

Looks like you have to Odin back to stock and start all over.

I'm running on SCH-I545 everytime I use Volume Up, Power, and Home button combo it attempts to go into recovery but instead it goes to Odin mode instead. I installed CWM correctly I believe through ROM Manager app and when I select to reboot into recovery through the app it does the same thing, When I do boot normally I don't see the custom symbol anymore but my root checker says I am rooted. Am I not rooted correctly. Is my bootloader not unlocked? Please help I really want to install a new rom but I'm still in stock touchwiz
You're doing it wrong.

You boot into downloader mode using Volume Down, Power, and Home.
You boot into recovery using Volume Up, Power, and Home.
Since you're booting into downloader mode, you're using the wrong volume button. Use the other one.
Or install Rom Manager or Quick Boot and use them to reboot into recovery.
Still nothing!

That is what I do but like I said it still goes into downloader even when I boot into recovery from Rom Manager.
Sounds like youre on me7 and then installed a custom recovery which you cant do. Thats why its going to download mode. Youll have to flash a stock image through odin to get back your stock recovery. The only thing me7 people can do is run safestrap.

You don't need the home button at all

I actually foolishly did the same before, installed TWRP and CWMR on ME7. Currently still running stock ROM, rooted. Is there a benefit to ODIN back to stock recovery? When I install safestrap, will the TWRP that comes with safestrap overwrite the other recoveries I installed before?

I havent read everything on the boot process but I believes it hijacks it and sends it into the safestrap im nearly positive it doesnt overwrite the stock recovery. I could be wrong tho. I would reflash the stock image so I would have a stock recovery but thats me.

I am on me7 and i tried using safestrap after i rooted and even though it says the recovery is installed, when i click reboot recovery, it just reboots normally. when i try to go into recovery manually, i get the stock samsung recovery. Help? thanks

After installing the app did you open safestrap and install? if not then it wont load the splash screen giving you the option to enter recovery.

Not at this time... there is a list of roms you are able to install here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448726
make sure to flash the kernel module before reboot..
Hello, I have safestrap and I have it saying that it's installed, but when I reboot into recovery it just does the normal process. I've also tried booting directly into recovery, and it just reboots its self back into normal boot.
Any ideas?
It should show up everytime you do a normally reboot or power on your phone.
I have never used the power menu to reboot into recovery but I'm thinking that is what you are doing instead of just doing a normal reboot.

Do u have safestrap application on your mobile ? Open the aplication and try "reboot in recovery"... Im also using safestrap and it works fine... Curently im not running any rom, its just stock with removed bloat applications with titanium backup
Did you install the recovery with tje SS app on the phone?

What recovery? o.o If you're talking about the Install button, yes.
Also, forgot to mention... I'm on MJ7

That would have been nice to mention up front as Safestrap doesn't work on MJ7.
It sounded like you had it working and it suddenly stopped working. If you took the OTA to MJ7, yeah, you're stuck.

Booting into recovery from the power menu is not supported. Either reboot and press the Menu button when the Safestrap splash screen comes up or use the Safestrap app to boot into Safestrap.

Then when the Safestrap splash screen comes up press the Menu button to go into recovery. If it doesn't come up at all, make sure you installed the recovery correctly and not just the app.

ok...installing safestrap is a 2 step process:
1. step one is to install the actual safestrap APK program
2. step two is to open safestrap program up and install the recovery.
then using your power off button to restart your phone, the safestrap splash screen will come up...hit the actual button (menu) to go into safestrap recovery, not the screen icon button.
please review the following thread before doing anything else to your phone

You can just uninstall the Safestrap App via Application Manager in Settings.
Having similar problem with safestrap
I have root access and SuperSU installed and working.
I downloaded the most recent version of safestrap (3.71 for mk2).
I open it and click install recovery. It does a few things and at the bottom it says "installed" but the status never changes to installed at the top and I can't reboot to recovery.
Any suggestions?
You may have to change SELinux to permissive.

what do you mean "reboot into recovery" ? you mean the option on the power menu? Or when you do a clean restart of the phone and you don't get the safestrap splash screen?

The option on the safestrap menu. It stays grey.
Don't you need BusyBox install first before installing Safestrap

What build are you on? You could try getting back into odin mode by taking out the batttey for 30 seconds then pressing home volume down and power until odin mode pops up. What Safesrtap were you using?
