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!
Thank you.. But I figured it out. I had to delete the rom slot and start fresh

questions should be posted in Q&A forum
Most likely you didn't load the kernel module after installing hyperdrive, this is discussed extensively in safestrap and hyperdrive threads
Those modules are in the Safestrap thread, just don't leave SS without flashing those 1st. You should be good
Ah hell...

And: if you're one of those people who don't notice the "VERIZON" in the title of this forum, and don't have a Verizon phone, well, you can't use the VERIZON modules to flash a T-Mobile, ATT, Sprint phone.
If you're not on a Verizon SCH-i545, doing things that you read in these forums for the SCH-i545 is like trying to install Windows on a Mac. Yeah, they're both Intel CPUs, but not compatible. The ATT/Sprint/T-Mo phones are NOT the same hardware as the VZ phone.
Sadly, repeating this once again:
To install the modules, use Safestrap to boot your stock ROM. Copy the two files from /system/lib/modules to your external SD card. Boot the Safestrap custom ROM, then copy those files from the external SD card into /system/lib/modules and reboot the custom ROM.

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

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.

Hey all. Just switched back to Droid after being with iPhone for a few years. I've rooted my s4 but don't believe I'm able to install custom roms based on the build. I've attached a screen of my about page. Any advice greatly appreciated.

With the MK2 build you can only use safestrap as your custom recovery and your limited on what custom roms you can use. I'm on the MK2 build as well and personally I like the stock rom with the tether mod.

Okay Buddy with the MK2 builld you can only use TW based roms no ASOP/Cyanogenmod.
1.) To root u must use saferoot here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
2.) Then you must install Safestrap 3.71 Hashcode has a thread about ithere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441441
3.) After doing that you want to look on this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630040
decarturbob has compiled a list of MK2 Safestrap Compatible roms.
Hope this helps buddy. Make sure you read the threads carefully and follow each step. My current fav roms are the TW(ASOP themed roms):fingers-crossed:
Thank you all for the help. Really appreciate it.
To add to my question, after rooting, running the stock ROM, can I turn off OTA updates? I keep getting an annoying notification to update.

Using Titanium Backup, you can "freeze" applications, which keeps them from running. The software update application is called SDM.
So, open Titanium, search for "SDM", the click on "Freeze!". It won't run any longer.

I have installed safestrap and downloaded the module for the MK2 build. It then says to flash the modules file..how do I do that if I cant boot into recovery mode? I assume this is why safestrap is telling me I'm not rooted.

You flash the modules file AFTER you flash a custom ROM into a ROM slot. How did you manage to flash into a ROM slot if you can't get into Safestrap recovery?
If installing Safestrap fails and tells you you're not rooted, then either you're not rooted, or you still have Knox enabled. You'll need to be rooted before you can do any of this, so start there. See the Saferoot thread.
Hey! I am New to flashing and custom recovery. I have my S4 i545 rooted and know how to do basic things like Gravity box and Xposed installer but have no clue where to start on flashing a custom rom. I would like to get a stock android KitKat rom if possible. Can anybody help me?

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
Okay starting off, I went straight to cyanogenmod's page but it specifically stated "you must be on build I545VRUAMDK"...
There lies the problem. My phone is build KOT49H.I545VRUFNC5.
I got it from Verizon like this, already updated.
It's running kitkat 4.4.2.
Now, the benefit is that I already have root, through Towelroot V3.

I've searched on Google and still cannot find a direct answer.
So please can someone tell me where to go to figure this out? Or if you know how kindly tell me?
I've installed Safestrap as well.

If you MUST be on MDK to install the ROM and you are on NC5, then I reckon you can't install the ROM. There are not many ROM's available for those of us on NC5 and Safestrap unfortunately.

HyperDrive is solid. I'm on BlackBox right now and I like it better. It is stupid fast but a little buggy as it is a newer ROM. Another option would be to stay with the stock NC5 use Wanam Xposed from the XposedFramework. It allows quite a bit of customization if that is what you're looking for. There are some solid options being on NC5, just make sure you take the time to read through the threads before you flash anything.
