Yes, Eclipse V7 is Safestrap compatible. I'm just not sure if it's compatible with MK2.

'm running Eclipse build 7 on a Developer Edition S4. I recommend you go to the developer's website and check out the threads on Build 7 by other SafeStrap users. Go here:http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/eclipse/forumdisplay.php?55-Galaxy-S-IV

Well first off, I'm not using SafeStrap. I have a Developer edition S4 so I have an unlocked bootloader and don't need SafeStrap. Have you visited the Dev's website. There are a lot of threads from SafeStrap users about installing build 7. If you haven't gone to that site you should...you might find the resolution to your problem. If I remember rightly there were other SafeStrap users who had the same problem as you and found a work-around. There is also an issue downloading and installing paid apps from Play Store, but there is a fix for that also in those threads. Check it out if you haven't already.

I've just read the last few pages in the forum that bamige1 pointed you to. Eclipse 7 does indeed work on MK2 with Safestrap.
Since lots of people apparently have it working, the likely suspect is a bad download. Did you check the MD5 hash after download to verify that it was correct?
Re-downloading is probably worth trying.

At this point, it's past time for you to involve the ROM developer. Since nobody using Eclipse has posted here, you'll need to reach out to those that are successfully using it.

I'm currently rooted and have safestrap recovery (thanks Hashcode!).
Would like to load this mod but want to know if anyone has done this with safestrap in a ROM slot yet. Or if CWM is required and if it works with VRUEMK2.
Looking for a good step by step as still very much a noob.

I tried the MD5 verification upon install and it fails, only goes through when you uncheck it. I kind of thought the verification could be the problem. Do you have a link or website I can get HD 12 with a valid MD5 file?

Not tied to install...The md5 needs to be checked on the downloaded file...downloading can corrupt large files and u need to run a md5 checker on it. The md5 checksum is posted at the file hosting site u dloaded from.

Recently flashed the RLS12 Safestrap rom for my GS4, Verizon on MK2. The flashing and install seemed to go smoothly, wiped etc with no problems. Ran through the aroma installer, again, no issues. Flashed the MK2 verizon modules and rebooted. The bios boot sequence came up (pretty sweet BTW) and all seems fine. However, it stops at "Beginning Android Boot sequence" and won't go any further. I've heard rumors of this first boot taking upwards of 10 minutes, but I've tried this 3 times now and let it sit for as long as 35 minutes without any results.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Im having the same issue and I even flashed MJ7 and tried to flash it too. I don't even get to the boot screen I have a black screen but a flawless install up to the reboot. I have flashed plenty of hyperdrive with the correct modules I even tried different versions of hyperdrive. The OP stated compatibility with everything up too MJ7 that's why I went back to MJ7 still no joy when I as originally on MK2.

I had that problem and I got fixed by downloading the right file.
You need to download the RLS12 Safestrap Rom not the regular RLS12.
The regular one is for MDK TWRP recovery rom so it doesn't boot.

You delete ROM slots from within SafeStrap. Just activate your stock slot, then go over to whatever slots you have and I usually formatted and then deleted them. Fairly simple. Then try creating a new ROM slot and reflash the ROM and modules.

UPDATE: Hey buddy - I got it fixed yesterday. It's amazing how much you learn by making mistakes. My first mistake was, as mentioned in an earlier post, I got trigger happy and flashed to my stock rom slot instead of setting up a custom slot (stupid me). Looking back, I can't believe I did that. My second mistake was trying to reflash the incorrect stock rom file using Odin. I finally got the correct one from SamMobile.
Anyone having trouble on galaxy phones should check out rootjunky's youtube posts. He's great!! You have to be careful though because he jumps around on different builds. My only question now is whether or not Hyperdrive is compatible with the MK2. Everything I see is for the MDK and others. Is the build number critical or is it more critical to have the compatible recovery or both? I thought I would ask before I try flashing this rom again. Also, any suggestions on compatible MK2 roms would be great. I'm having trouble finding any.
Thanks,
BC

It's really the most complete and helpful site I think for our phones.
Just remember that since you're on MK2 4.3 that whatever SafeStrap rom you flash must also be based off 4.3 as well, and you will also have to flash MK2 modules zip file as well.
And I'd also like to say for the record since were here.... You're most likely going to want to hold off on the KitKat update from Verizon until there are proven and reliable root methods and SafeStrap is available. .. that is if you want to keep flashing ROMs.
Just my two cents lol

You may want to go to the developer's web site. There are quite a few SafeStrap users on that forum who have successfully installed this ROM with SafeStrap. This is a great forum but the issues and answers to those issues are already posted in that forum. I'd start looking at post about 30-40 days old. Make sure you read the OP, the developer has special instructions for SafeStrap users. Here is the developer's web site: http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/ec...4-14)-Real-AOSP-styling-Light-amp-Dark-themes!

You'll have to now find the SafeStrap thread and install that. Hopefully your attempt at flashing a recovery through Goo hasn't borked your recovery. IMG
If it has you'll have to just start over with Odin. Hard to say really as some have had no problems after doing that and others have had to use Odin.
On a side note I'll be posting my mint condition MDK S4 on Swappa fairly soon if you want an S4 that can have a true custom recovery and flash aosp Roms [emoji6]

Correct. Your only option is Safestrap recovery. You can only flash TouchWiz based roms. You will need Safestrap version 3.72 (it's the AT&T version), and you will only be able to use the stock side. No rom slots.
Take your time and research....... A lot! You don't want to brick your phone.

I got safestrap installed. now i want to install a google play edition rom. Is it possible on my device? The stickie only tells me how to do things if i am running 4.2.2 but i am running 4.4.2 so those dont work
I've had Safestrap on my wife's XT912 for a long time and I haven't touched her phone for a few years. The Safestrap version on her phone is 3.11. I need to turn off Safestrap so I can boot the phone into BPTools mode. Unfortunately, Safestrap is no longer installed on her phone's stock slot (not sure why...) I've looked everywhere for the original apk but can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone know of a mirror of older Safestrap versions, specifically 3.11? Or can someone please post the Safestrap Spyder v3.11 apk?
Thanks!

I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
I did end up finding a version that I initially thought wasn't compatible but turned out to be compatible. I found "Safestrap-RAZR-D4-BIO-3.11.apk" on an old how-to site and after doing a bunch more reading and seeing dead links with the same name in threads related to my phone, I realized that it would work after all. Finally, the phone is on 3.75 and I can enable and disable at will.
@Guapo613 Thanks for the offer, but I'm good now! (Hope you didn't go to any trouble - I didn't reply til after work!)
