I have a fresh ME7 recovery installed, rooted, and Safestrap 3.71 recovery installed. I have followed at instructions that I have found in the general forum, and still after creating a ROM slot in Safestrap, and installing both a Custom ROM and the ME7 modules, and even after a "successful" install, once the phone reboots, it goes to the little robot asking if I want to continue or go back to recovery and continues to loop back to the screen. I have been trying to install Jelly 'Beans' - Build 7 which I read in a thread was one of the few custom ROMS safestrap can use. Now I have installed the same Custom ROM this way before, but it has been several months and by trying to get back into the scene and upgrading to a newer ROM, I messed my phone up and cannot get it to load a custom ROM and I am stuck at the normal stock. Please help!!!!1!

I'm not too familiar with Safestrap, but I believe if you want to run a JB 4.3 based rom you'll need to first upgrade to 4.3 stock (odin to MK2), then root/safestrap and install the rom with the matching 4.3 base/modules.

As Bob said, you have the wrong version of safestrap if you want to stay on ME7

I have rooted, installed Safestrap, installed Hyperdrive as directed in the youtube video titled "Galaxy S4 Safe Strap Hyper Drive rom install MI1", but the ROM won't boot (I don't see the loading animation).
Clue: When my phone boots I receive the following terminal message:
Code:
Updating partition details...
E:error opening '/data/app/mcRegistry
E:error: I/O error
Running Boot script...
Finished running boot script...
I get a similar set of messages when I try to install the MI1 modules.
Any thoughts as to why I can't install the MI1 modules? And why Hyperdrive won't boot after I install it with Safestrap?
(I know I'm on MI1)
Thanks!

You set up a ROM slot and flashed the ROM to that slot? You chose the stock kernel or safestrap kernel in aroma installer? Upon reboot you don't see the safestrap splash screen at all?

I would delete the Rom slot and start over on the install. Be sure your MD5 is correct and to eliminate issues I suggest downloading hyperdrive 10.2 directly to your computer and then copy over to your extsd card. Make sure on your settings for the ROM slot for size. I don't remember offhand what I made mine .
even if you select the "safestrap kernel" in the aroma installer, I always flash the kernel module. You do this immediately after flashing the ROM and BEFORE first boot. I have never had a wifi issue whatsoever in doing this method.

As far as size is concerned I have given it all I could (about 7GB) because I don't care to swap ROMs often, I'm looking for one I want to stick with.
Thanks, I will give your advice a try.
The problem was that I was attempting to run the latest version of Hyperdrive (11). 10.2 is the version of Hyperdrive that works with Safestrap. Thanks for the help!
Incidentally I installed the GPE rom. Its great, but seems to start running slow after 12 hours or so. A reboot fixes the problem. Google Maps runs slower on this ROM than on my Galaxy Nexus which is disappointing. If only touchwiz wasn't so ugly!

I followed the instructions for the hyperdrive update to install to new bootloader during install of new hyperdrive from it got stuck at 70% and reset it. after that safestrap was no longer on the phone and would take me to the stock bootloader but would just loop on bootloader, is there any way to help fix this. any help would be greatly appreciated.

New to this site so apologies for putting this in general.. I rooted my vzw s4 tired of touch wiz lag attempting to install cm.

Nc5 is locked down tight. The only custom recovery that you can flash on it is safestrap... and since the bootloader is locked you can only flash touchwiz roms. From previous experience, flashing cyonagenmod with safestrap on the s4 soft bricks it.

I am in the process of trying to flash the Cyanogenmod M8 ROM on my VZW Note 3 (N900V). I attempted to flash the ROM using Safestrap Recovery and followed all the steps listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610.
I used versions 3.72 and 3.75 of the Safestrap Recovery. I attempted to flash the ROM through both the ROM slots and the Stock slot in each version of Safestrap recovery. Everything worked and the ROM flashed successfully, however, every time i booted the ROM, the screen just went black and the ROM never booted. This occurred in all versions and slots of Safestrap. I attempted to re wipe the system and re flash the ROM many times but the ROM would never boot. This problem has been mentioned in other threads however i have not come across a solution.
Has anyone successfully booted a custom ROM on Safestrap with a VZW NC4 Note 3? Is it a problem with the versions of Safestrap that i am using? Is there any possible way to flash a ROM on a VZW Note 3 without using Safestrap??

Well, I think there may be some problem with the ROM why don't you first flash your device with the stock ROM and there after try flashing the CM 8 again over to your device ?

When i flash the stock ROM again, it works fine. I have also tried flashing other ROMS to make sure my ROM wasn't the issue. i had the exact same experience the ROMS i flashed in that they wouldnt boot.
I've no idea why you would even try to load CM roms on a VZW Note 3 unless you have a Dev Edition. Surely all of the warnings on the rom thread and throughout the Safestrap thread should have been a clue...? Due to the locked bootloader of the retail Note 3 from VZW, you can only install stock based roms and last time I was in that forum, SS only worked on the stock slot on the newer firmwares.

Well, that's weird !! I would say I am running out of the options now. Couldn't comment more over it now ! Can only say try erasing the device completely and then again try with the flashing process..... I would say wait a bit more while and see what other members have to say about this issue !
Hello,
What I’m trying to do
I’m looking for a step by step guide to help me flash the new HyperDrive RLS18.1 ROM on my Galaxy S4 currently running Hyperdrive RLS15.
I tried to figure it out on my own via google and youtube and a ton of websites but each set of instructions was more unclear than the last to me.
Reason why I want to change
I use the Verizon galaxy S4 (T-mobile is my network though) with Hyperdrive RLS15 and it has stopped being smooth. It’s now too choppy to use as a daily driver and I would like to do a fresh install (plus upgrade while I’m at it)
Experience with rooting
Moderate. I have installed a few ROMS in the past (on my S4 and a Note 1). However, I haven’t done this for some time and I can’t find a well written guide as to install this particular ROM that addresses the issue of whether I can do this via safestrap on an MJ7
Phone specs
• I used the phoneInfo app to check these
Model: SCH – I545
Device type: jfltevzw
Bootloader Version: I545VRUEMJ7
Baseband Version: I545VRUEMJ7
PDA version: I545VRUEMK2/ I545VRUEMK2a
CSC Version: I545VZWEMK2
Build Number: RLS15 (I545VRUEMK2)
Android version: 4.3
What I’ve downloaded so far
gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS.zip
Hyperdrive+RLS18.1+KK+S4.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
I545VRUFNC5_modem.zip
Questions I have:
How do I install the Hyperdrive 18.1 to my phone as-is, without bricking it?
I would appreciate a step-by-step guide, a link to a video, a link to an article or whatever. I can’t literally afford to brick this phone. Haha
Thank you.

Go to settings/about device on your phone and see what Android Version you are on. If you are not on 4.4.2 then yes, you will need to update.

Correct. Use Odin (I recommend 3.09) to flash either the full wipe or no wipe tar files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
Then gain root using towelroot, install safestrap 3.72, and you're good to go.

Okay good, glad you got it going. Yeah you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 these files to upgrade. Then use towelroot and SS 3.72, which is in the AT&T section.
Then search for the VZW NC5 modules by Surge 1223 and the NC2 wifi fix zip by Gogolie, flash the NC5 modules with the rom and if wifi or bluetooth isn't working flash gogolie's zip.
It also seems that safestrap users now need to flash the supersu.zip (Google it) with 4.4 roms to retain root.
If you can't find the links to anything, let me know.
EDIT: I just read the rest of your OP lol. Sorry [emoji5] I see you have all of that already. But make sure to find the NC5 modules not that modem zip. You're modem will be NC5 anyway once you flash the tar file in Odin.
I should also say, you'll probably have less issues if you back up important data to external storage and flash the full wipe version.

Just edited sorry didn't see you had most of the files already. Used to dealing with people who do no research whatsoever lol, thank you for trying before asking for help.
So my situation is virtually identical. I tried precisely what you suggested here, based off reading through ~700 replies on the Hyperdrive thread trying to figure out exactly the same. My experience went as follows:
Tried using the method described by Surge1223 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726868 which failed to update to NC5, and subsequently prevented the phone from booting. Attempted the recovery instructions at the bottom of the post after getting the error about firmware and needing to use recovery mode in Kies. All files flashed successfully at the indicated time in the instructions, phone still wouldn't boot.
Found the MK2 full-wipe Odin image (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209) and was able to get that flashed and booted successfully. Still being on 4.3, I downloaded the NC5 full-wipe Odin image and flashed that on to make sure everything was stock and nothing was being carried over. Was able to get root, install SS, SuperSU, etc
Reboot to SS to do the ROM installation on the Stock slot and everything completes without issue. Flash SuperSU after and reboot....to a black screen. Instructions say let it sit 10 minutes. I let it sit 20, no joy. Reboot the phone and am greeted with the Samsung Galaxy S4 image, then Safestrap, then back to a black screen. Again, let it sit upwards of 20 minutes with no changes.
I've tried wiping system along with the other partitions before installing and I've tried leaving it. No difference.
I've tried 4 different kernel options with the Aroma installer. No difference.
I've tried as bare-bones as possible installation of Hyperdrive. No difference.
I got the SELinux permission changer and set it to permissive and tried to install. No difference.
Now I'm sitting on NC5, rooted stock image. I'm at my wits end for things to try to get Hyperdrive working. Suggestions?
