Hi, I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4, Installed the latest SafeStrap. After successfully installing SafeStrap I made a custom boot and selected the boot and wiped both caches and did factory reset. Then I installed HyperDrive and then without reboot installed the mk2 module. After rebooting the phone I waited 10 mins and restarted the phone. Everything worked but the Wifi wont toggle on, so I did a lot of searching to find a solution. One thing i tried was loading up the stock boot and copying the two system/lib/module files and putting them on the hyperdrive rom. I did that buy deleting the same two files in the hypderdrive rom then copying the two file over from the stock rom. Restarted and it didn't work. When i boot from the stock rom the wifi works fine but not on the hyperdrive rom that why i tried that. I went to advance wifi and made sure the setting for Keep WiFi on during sleep is set two always. I looked around all over forums for mk2 wifi solution and tried a couple but to no avail Can you guys please help me? Thank You!

If WiFi won't turn on, then you haven't flashed the proper kernel modules corresponding to your stock ROM.
Are the "MK2" modules you flashed the ones for your specific model?
Sigh. Here we go again...
Boot the stock rom. Copy the files in /system/lib/modules onto your external SD card.
Boot Hyperdrive. Mount system read/write, then restore those files into /system/lib/modules
Reboot Hyperdrive. You should now have WiFi.
Try reflashing these modules that are from the safestrap

Ok, I got it to work just as you said. What I was doing wrong was using the Explorer on the rom, your supposed to use the one on safestrap and make sure you select the option to load the system files from the rom so when you use the Explorer on safestrap the system files to load up . Thanks bro!!!

That's impossible to say since you didn't say anything about what you might have done to make it stop working.
Did you install Safestrap?
Did you install a ROM into a new slot? If so, did you subsequently flash the correct kernel modules?
What software are you using? For that matter, what phone are you using?
The most common cause is forgetting to flash the kernel modules after flashing a ROM. The instructions in this thread explain how to recover from that.
Ok so I am now super frustrated. I don't know what to try now.
ATT l337 S4
I did the down grade from the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545
Did the bypasslkm exploit and thats where I stopped. So my MK2 is now rooted and has wifi.
I then installed hyperdrive on rom slot 1
Now no matter what I do I can not get the wifi to toggle on.
I clean installed the rom, fresh slot partition, clear davlink etc, install rom, install mk2 modules, reboot, nothing, wifi wont toggle.
Tried the above suggestion of moving the system/lib/module files from the working rom.......did it both in ESexplorer inside the rom, and also from the file manager inside safestrap......still no wifi.......
Its the last thing I need.
Have a rooted gear watch with nova launcher etc. Needed this rom so I would have bluetooth tethering, which I now have....but no wifi.

Mounting system read/write? Use Root Explorer or a similar tool that is root aware.
Or, use a shell and "mount -o remount,rw /system".

Hi all,
I didn't find any relevant threads through searches, so I'm reduced to asking for help. Please!
My DNA's been running great on Newt's ROM. I'm S-OFF, rooted, using CM, and all's been great. I'm on T-Mo. I installed the most recent patch on the OP page and, now, my phone won't connect to wifi and in settings>storage it shows "unavailable" for storage.
I've wiped cache and dalvik, done a factory reset, and everything I can think of to get things right - but to no avail so far. When connected to my PC, the phone shows up fine and I can see and delete phone files. But, I cannot copy to the phone so I can't put the ROM zip there to start anew. And, since wifi is in a perpetual "turning on" (but never does) I cannot download directly to the phone.
My phone works fine for calls and texts and data, but I can't install apps or get wifi working.
So, gang, any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks much,
Ross
EDIT to add more detail: I just realized that I cannot even access storage through CM recovery. I may be totally hosed, right? I tried to use the install zip and restore functions in CM, but it reports no files found. And if I go to Gallery, for example, on the phone it says "install SD card". I clearly have some serious memory issue (on my phone too...). Help?
You try flashing back to the original ROM before the patch?

Ok, what you're probably going to want to try to do is get rid of CWM Recovery - it has proven short sighted in comparison to TWRP. Do the following;
1. Flash TWRP for the DNA (via GooManager or grab the flashable zip and flash via fastboot)
2. Wipe EVERYTHING - Davik, Cache, Data, System.
3. TWRP Main > Advanced > Sideload
4. Use the 'sideload' command via ADB to flash whichever ROM that you'd like to be running.
5. Reboot System (If it tells you no OS installed, click install from the main and install sideload.zip, normally sideloading the ROM will install aswell, but not always.)
With this method, you start with fresh radios, fresh kernels and a fresh storage.
Hopefully this helps get you back where you'd like to be. I had to do this when I switched from NEWT's NOS 4.3 GPE back to NEWT's NOS MY S5 ROM.
Mushroomhead, thanks. I'm up and alive again!
EDIT to add detail, in case someone else encounters this:
I've not ever used sideload before, but I now understand why it exists. I followed the guidance above, with the exception of changing from CWM to TWRP. I may, indeed, do that and give it a try. But I was unable to download any app - or, for that matter, take any photos or access the Play store or do anything which accessed memory. I couldn't even access my backup files. So, I forged ahead with ClockWorkMod Recovery, using sideload to install the original Newt NOS ROM I had. That worked great.

Hi there,
Joined these forums to see if any fellow Safestrap users could help... I installed a custom rom (HyperDrive) onto the stock rom boot option in Safestrap, despite the big red text saying NOT TO INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM ON STOCK ROM.
My problem is: I have 3 different partitions on my phone, each with a different version of hyperdrive. The phone's original capacity is 16gb, but now it has the three different partitions within that 16 gb. I want to unroot and get rid of all these partitions. Anyone know how to help?
How did you create the partitions in the first place? Safestrap makes no sense to me.

When you recover into SafeStrap, there are 8 menus. One of the menus is boot options. You click on boot options and you're given 4 partition portions (depending on the internal storage size of your device). 3 of the choices are custom rom slots, one of the choices is stock rom. If you wipe your stock rom, you're out of luck. You can have a whole bunch of other roms preloaded, but if you remove your stock rom and have no backups, you're finished...
So, the question is, how can I get all 16 gb back and restore my phone completely?
Thanks dude

I believe it operates the same way on the S4 as it did on my Razr. There should be a directory on your internal storage (sdcard0) named SafeStrap; that is where your images are stored for any custom ROM -- each one should be in a directory of it's own (Slot1, Slot2, etc), with each of those directories containing it's own system.img, cache.img and userdata.img files.
I don't believe that Safestrap will let you wipe the stock ROM slot -- hashcode has built a lot of safety features into it!
In order to uninstall Safestrap, even though you uninstall it in your Applications, you may have to use adb. If you aren't interesting in keeping the custom ROMS you have in those slots, you can simply uninstall Safestrap and then delete that Safestrap directory on your internal storage. After that, if you reboot and it still goes into Safestrap recovery before booting the stock image, you'll have to uninstall Safestrap with adb. If you need to use adb to get rid of it, go to HashCode's page -- blog.hash-of-codes.com/2012/12/27/how-to-manually-remove-safestrap-via-adb/ -- where he has full instructions -- it is only about 8 command lines and only takes a couple of minutes.
Sorry I had to post the link like that, but this STUPID board thinks I'm too "new" to post a frigging link to one of it's own developers!

You can wipe the primary slot.
I'm running GPE on that slot now.
You can make a backup of your Safestrap compatible rom and I suggest one of your primary slot, and restore the backup to the primary, then delete all the slots.
Test your backups! And remember if you wipe your primary slot Safestrap is gone! You must reinstall it to get the recovery menu again.

Still Not Working
I tried using ADB to remove Safestrap and it didn't work.
I downloaded root browser and noticed that, for some reason, I have 5 gb of storage taken up by something unknown.
My next question is: Where are the files on my internal storage for Safestrap? Can I delete those?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks... I just want my normal phone back!
I was able to get HD11 installed and running fine, except wifi didn't work. I selected both the rom and module zip before install, but I was told wifi didn't work because I was supposed to flash the module AFTER the first reboot after HD11 install. I wanted to start over from scratch and deleted rom slot 1, but its still showing very little space left so I don't think I correctly deleted the rom (might of just deleted the rom slot, not the actual rom files). Should I have used the wipe feature? Can anyone please help me with directions on what to do to get SS back to before I created a ROM slot, and HD11 deleted so I can start over, thank you!

If you re-read the OP it states to remove safestrap via the app. Hope that helps.
delete rom slot 1
I have had issues with HD installing in slot 1, I am not sure why but slot 2 or 3 have worked much better for me when installing Hyperdrive. I would suggest trying this and see if it works for you as well.
Hope this helps!
I installed it following the instructions and did not reboot before installing the MJ7 module zip. It works with WIFI for me. I came from ME7.

I just got everything set up from scratch, I'm making a backup with titanium backup pro right now, so I can have all my apps easily restored once I get the rom installed. I'm only backing up "system apps" since I heard backing up "system apps + data" can screw alot of things up when installing a rom (correct me if I'm wrong). Once I get the backup of my apps on my ext SD card, I'm going for round two of installing HD11 :good:. Thanks for the help so far, I appreciate it.
Ok. Just wondering.

Yes there is a way to totally format your whole phone (even the system folder). MegaWipe can do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326
Note: MegaWipe will delete your ROM from your phone as well, so you will need to download a ROM and place it in your external sd and after flashing MegaWipe, flash the ROM without rebooting the phone. Because there will be no system to load if you install no ROM.
This is one way to do that. I think there are other ways to do this also.
Thank you.

I'm in the same boat. Trying to find out if I can install HyperDrive over the Stock ROM without bricking the phone. I'm hoping that will free up a lot of space as I would need to wipe the slot prior to installing. Just a little worried about doing it.
One thing I did do was boot into Stock and remove all apps, updates, and as much stuff as I could. This didn't have any effect on the loss of space. I know that while digging through posts on these forums I saw a lot of outrage when the S4 first came out about all the bloatware that took up a good 6gigs of space on a stock phone.
Also when I did the backup of the Stock ROM onto the SD card, I made sure that I moved it off the SD Card and onto an external Hard Drive for safe keeping and to free up some space on my SD Card. I also deleted the HyperDrive install as well since it is 1.xGigs of space on the SD card.
Sorry I don't have anything really to contribute, but would be interested in hearing if you find a way to free up some space as well.
I run all of my roms in stock slot because of that very reason. I have a stock rooted backup I keep on my computer so it doesn't accidentally get deleted from SD card and to also save space on my external. I haven't had any problems at all with running any tw based custom roms in the stock slot. Just make sure your base is compatible with the roms you flash. HD15 requires mj7 or mk2 just do like normal and flash the modules after the install and before booting into the rom.
Profit and enjoy the extra space [emoji1][emoji106]
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
The best way to do this is to Odin to stock, root, install safestrap, copy System/lib/modules folder to ext SD or comp. Back up stock slot in safe strap recovery. Then wipe stock slot and flash hyperdrive 15 and mk2 or mj7 (according to your build) modules. Reboot then replace system/lib/modules with the one you copied from stock and Fix it's permissions.

Something that will save plenty of time would be to backup your slot 1 and wipe your stock slot then restore your hd15 backup of slot 1 and restore it to the stock slot and flash kernel modules for good measure. Delete slot 1.

Ah. Gotcha. I must have just gotten lucky then haha.
I will omit that so nobody runs into that.
I did restore from slot 1 to stock. But what I did was backup slot 1, wipe everything on stock slot, restore backup to stock slot then flash modules.
Like I said though I must have gotten lucky.
But why would you want to copy the files in the lib folder? Isn't that the same as flashing the modules before booting into the rom?

All I know is that I tried just flashing modules and wifi wouldn't even turn on. When I researched it the solution above is the one I found.
k1mu said:
Here's what you do to recover your Wifi.
First, if you didn't overwrite the stock slot:
1. Boot your stock slot.
2. Copy the two files in /system/lib/modules to your EXTERNAL sdcard.
3. Boot the custom slot.
4. Use your favorite root file manager to mount /system read-write, then copy those files from the external sdcard into /system/lib/modules in your custom slot.
5. Reboot. Wifi should be back.
Second, if you flashed over the stock slot: :crying:
Well, you've written over the factory modules. You'll need to get them back.
A. Find someone with the same device as you that's unmodified and ask them for the contents of /system/lib/modules. Copy them to your /system/lib/modules.
B. Remove Safestrap and install a factory stock ROM. You can now use Safestrap to flash into a different slot and use the directions above.
If you INSIST on flashing over the factory ROM again (i.e. you haven't learned why that's a bad idea), then copy off the files to your external sdcard before you install Safestrap, then go to step 4 above after you finish flashing the custom ROM.
C. Take apart a factory ROM image and extract the contents of the /system/lib/modules directory onto your external sdcard. Go to step 4 above.

Like you said, you were lucky. Because if the module zip were the same, why would one need to get the unmodified one from a stock rom rather than downloading the one from the safestrap thread? I'm guessing the module zip is meant to work on rom slots and not the stock. Idk how yours worked, but to the OP : flashing to stock slot is not recommended by hash and you won't get any support/help from him as he states in his thread, so proceed at your own risk. But the above method has worked for me and others . Good luck.

Yeah. I have the patience to work with it. Plus I been with safestrap since it first came out for the razr so I knew what I was getting into when I unfortunately had to do a warranty claim on my mdk due to a faulty touch screen digitizer.
If I get it screwed up too bad I just start over with Odin.

Flashed HyperDrive RLS15 over the stock ROM this morning. Flashed the Modules before reboot and after install. Only issue I had was TouchWiz Home crashing on occasion, but a kindly soul on here told me it looked like it was an issue associated with restoring data. Although I didn't restore data, I also chose to just flash over the Stock ROM and use the installers Wipe/Factory Reset option instead of wiping the ROM slot first. All I had to do was boot into recovery with SafeStrap and Wipe the new ROM, reboot, and good to go.
Oh, and the free space on the device using the flashed Stock ROM is now close to 6Gigs! Oh the Glory! Gonna give everything a few days and if it all remains good to go, I'll delete the RLS14 ROM and maybe try some other ROM's out, now that I have room.
