You can't. I suggest you look at some of threads talking about boot loaders.... Safestrap . mj7 is fully locked down. Hash code is working on porting his safestrap to work on 4.3 bases

I'm not sure what you are asking. You want to go back to me7 or mi1? You definitely can't go back to mdk....

Sadly, this gets repeated over and over:
If you upgrade past MDK, you can't bypass the bootloader, which means you can't install custom recovery or custom kernels.
Once you install a release, you usually can't install any prior release (the only exception is that MK2 can be downgraded to MJ7).

Is the only way right now to flash a rom is to delete all data in stock slot on ss then flash a compatible rom? I dont want to have to lose my data to do this.

Officially there is no way to flash a custom ROM on MJ7. Unofficially i have heard of some people doing this, but i HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND IT! This is because if you screw something up there is a high chance of bricking. For now i would advise you to wait until Hashcode has ported safestrap over to MJ7.

Well it's just that Safestrap for 4.3 is in beta right now. It is risky and unless you don't care if you brick the phone or are really experienced I would wait it out.

I agree...unless you don't need your phone or like to reflash and do Odin...its beta and hashcode does his development step by step. Loading Roms and having issues with a beta release won't speed the process. Pay attention to what hashcode wants...I'm just saying

MJ7
Safestrap 3.71 is working with safestrap and RLS 11& RLS12 is working flawlessly. I have it in slot 2 on my S4. I highly reccommend flashing only stock kernel with installer then installing MJ7 patch before initial boot then changing kernel if need be.
Let me know if this helps!
Mj7 build can be found at this link!!

I just got done about 2 days ago with moving to mj7 via the non wipe Odin file, then OTA'd to mk2, rooted with the safe root process, installed safe strap 3.71, installed HD12 and moved it to the stock side.
I gotta say I'm definitely impressed with HD12 and how smooth it is.

Safestrap galaxy s3 4.3 verizon ml1?
Just wondering if safestrap will work on my galaxy s3. I am on 4.3 build ml1 with saferoot and have locked bootloader.
I have a rooted verizon gs4 running the 4.3 update and safe strap. If I install the pure google rom on a second rom slot will it brick my phone?

it won't boot man. only touchwiz 4.3 roms work with safestrap. tis the curse of having this awesome phone until the bootloader gets unlocked/bypassed.

Would hyper drive Work?
Hyperspace works great on my SCH-I545 running MK2 with Safestrap. Not much else will work with Safestrap. If you find yourself soft bricked, use the stock image that you flash with Odin. You'll find yourself unrooted; but you can easily root again with the install.bat found in the forums.
Also, Hyperdrive comes with several useful tweaks that not only speed up your device, but also make it look very nice.

yes, as long as you flash the correct one for safestrap and load kernel module afterwardf. Plenty of info in hyperdrive threads

Depends, is phone a MK2 build or MDK? Many people get baseband and build number mixed up. They are not the same thing
If its MK2 build you can't load a recovery like TWRP or CWM as the bootloader, since MDK is fully lock down. You only option is safestrap and a handful of safestrap compatible ROMS.
plenty of info here that you need to know. Plenty of threads to digest
Mine is MK2 Build. It's already rooted with safestrap. So will any Safestrap ROM work? As long as I flash the MK2 add on?

Yes... And like he said there really are only a handful of safestrap ROMs... I'd suggest trying out hyper drive first and see how you like it.

thats correct. If a ROM is safestrap compatible and you flash the kernel module associated with your build.
Please note, that hyperdrive has a SPECIFIC safestrap ROM, don't download the other one. I have tried everyone to date and still go back to HD12

Have tried all of them and keep going back to hyperdrive. It's definitely a great starting point.

If you like the look of inverted, vanilla AOSP, look into Eclipse ROM. The developer, well known here, is nitroglycerine33. He is currently working on a Safestrap version of his Eclipse ROM so people like us with locked bootloaders can use his ROM. It has that beautiful AOSP look, and has really excellent battery life.
Cheers
I have not updated my Hyperdrive since 10.2 and decided it was about time I caught up. I am on ME7 now and attempted to flash the new ROM but my phone will no longer boot. I have been able to boot into my stock rom with safestrap so I am not bricked by any means...
What's the process from here to get caught up to Hyperdrive 14?
I am currently in the process of installing 10.2 since I still have that .zip available to me.

Hyperdrive RLS14 requires the 4.3 kernel, so you must update to MJ7 or MK2 before you install it.

I thought that might be the problem, where can I find the 4.3 kernel since I don't think I can update OTA.

You can't update the kernel alone. That's why I said that you have to update to MJ7 or MK2 first.
Flash the no-wipe MJ7 image using ODIN. That'll get you to MJ7 while keeping apps and data intact. Then you can re-root, re-Safestrap, and install RLS14.

Backstory:
So last night my phone turned off by itself and wouldn't turn back on. My first thought it something with the ROM. So I boot to recovery and start a backup before I try to wipe/format etc. Long story short, it ended up being the battery just ate sh*t. So I got a new battery from Verizon, after I tried to ODIN back to stock though...
Problem:
I was on Hyperdrive RLS15, and I tried to Odin open1your1eyes MDK NoWipe. But my phone is just hanging on the Verizon screen. (it has been over half hr) My phone is MDK base (no safestrap), is that the right thing to flash? Is there anything else I have to do?
Thanks in advance, and forgive my naiveness. :silly:

Also I include a link to versions of MDK (full-wipe) and MJ7 (full-wipe) I uploaded (that is I didn't mirror them) in the MK2 Odin tar thread.
I see you were successful but ill include my link anyway. Maybe this will help others who read this.

You're going to want to keep your bootloader MDK. With MDK you an flash any ROM you want, AOSP , AOKP , CM , TW..... 4.3...4.4 you name it.
If you updated to MK2 base you'd take away your options. You'd only be able to flash TW ROMs that are based on whatever build your phone is ...MK2 is 4.3 . And your only recovery would be SafeStrap. Not TWRP or CWM
How did end up with HD15 ? Flashed in recovery right? You can find any number of ROMs on these forums that are based off of MK2 or MJ7 and just flash them in recovery.

Gotcha. Yes recovery. HD says it's MK2 based, but my phone build still says MDK in the About screen. That's why I was wondering. Come to think of it though, doesn't that just display the Modem version (which is recovery flashable), correct?

Yes. MDK is your bootloader/Build and MK2 would be your baseband/modem.
Grab this app and it will show you everything https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
And Surge has a thread on here of all our modems which are flashable through recovery although your probably good to stick with MK2 for now.
