SafeStrap Questions - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Over the past few days on XDA, i've seen some people mention that the beta build 3.72 for ATT KitKat works for I545. Can somebody clarify this for me. Thanks.

Actually NVM. Just for everybody to know, AT&T SafeStrap 3.72 is a confirmed work for Verizon S4.

Didn't work for me on MJ7 4.3.
I needed 3. 71. YMMV.

It's for the I545 running 4.4 only.

It's definately usable on 4.4 but I found it to have trouble flashing to the apnhlos partition.

it works but does have some issues, definitely not support by hashcode at this time as he is trying to work on the formal release of 3.72 for verizon phones

The 3.72 Safestrap recovery works. You can't use the safestrap APPLICATION to manage the recovery once you're on 4.4.2.

Galaxy Gear + Galaxy S4 on 4.2.2?

I recently got a replacement S4 with version 4.2.2, so I rooted it and installed Hyperdrive rsl10 rom. Now my Galaxy Gear watch won't connect. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks for the help guys.
I believe you will have to flash a 4.3 rom since you won't be taking Verizon ota updates. Gear watch needs 4.3 roms

Ok I haven't seen where I can install a 4.3 rom on this 4.2 build.
What's your baseband? Are you using Safestrap or Loki'd TWRP?

Ok, then you have two options. You can either go back to stock and update to 4.3 or wait until Safestrap is released for 4.3 so you can flash Hyperdrive RLS11.

OK going stock and losing root isn't an option. lol
Mateopase is right. I didn't catch that you were stuck on safestrap...

Should I take the upgrade on MI1

My S4 shipped with mi1 however I immediately rooted and frozen sdm
Now since there are safe root with the latest ota, should I update or not? is there any chance that unlocking bootloader on MI1 would be easier than MK2 or they are essentially the same?
This locked phone is really frustrating

I only have a few days experience with this, but in everything I've been reading, there's nothing really past MDK that works with the recovery images...think we're stuck with MK2 until the pros figure it out.

Safestrap 3.7x works with JB 4.3 ROMs so you can Rom away.
Have to agree with equake here.
You're already past MDK, so AOSP-based ROMs are no longer an option while the bootloader is locked, BUT there are several good ROMs available for booting from Safestrap.
Lots of them listed here (try Verizon GPE and HyperDrive first):

Just a side note.. Hyperdrive 12 only works on Safestrap 3.71 which is either mj7 or mk2. And us 4.3 users really only have HD 12 and maybe a couple others to choose from currently. No GPE as that was on 4.2.
Again there are people working to bring more roms our way on 4.3 you can find them in the dev section and Eclipse is gonna be coming soon for us to I hear.

There's Omega, darthstalker, foxhound and Hyperdrive last I checked.
ImO Hyperdrive and Foxhound are the ones to really check out.
Not a huge difference option wise... Hyperdrive and foxhound seem to be tricked out the most. I'm a Hyperdrive man myself.

If you are already beyond MDK, the only reason not to upgrade is no method of root or getting back to stock.
Right now not an issue.
I was rooted on MI1 just went directly to MK2.
No Wipe MK2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
Saferoot -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
GS4 Tether Unlock -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512981
Thanks then i will just upgrade and root
Hopefully the bl gets solved soon

MJ7 rom status?

Last I checked there wasn't a way to use any custom ROMs on a Verizon S4 running MJ7. Is this still the case?

No. Root, safestrap makes possible several custom roms.

Hyperdrive 12 is really your only viable roms...Some others are coming online. There are couple threads you would need to read. I'm sure some you tube videos are out. I did a guide in general section that gives a good idea of what to do.

Can I go ahead and install the latest MK2 update and still do Safestrap and HH?
If so I'm assuming I'll need to remove root, yes?

Yea you can update to mk2 to be able to take the ota you need to unroot and get rid of any xposed mods you may have and or restore anything you may have frozen using tibu.
If that still doesn't work you may have to Odin back to whatever your Current version is then take the ota
Then root using saferoot method and install Safestrap and you're off to the races.

I could have sworn I seen a thread after I was updating to MK2 how to install HyperDrive on MJ7/MK2 but have lost it now. Do you happen to know of the thread or a tutorial on how to get HyperDrive installed now that I'm running MK2 and rooted with Safestrape installed?

You just create a rom slot then flash the Hyperdrive zip plus the mk2 modules.. Then reboot and you're good.
Be sure you download the Hyperdrive for SS zip.

On ME7 - what's the "best" I can do in terms of getting to stock Android?

A lot of development since I first browsed here awhile ago. I'm on 4.2.2 and have no idea what to do.
I think the Eclipse ROM is compatible with SS for AOSP UI. Haven't used it myself though. I think you'd have to update to 4.3 for it though. Don't quote me on that.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
What do you mean by you are on ME7.... are you on an ME7 based ROM? or are you on the official ME7 stock verizon build?
If you are rooted and not on an MDK bootloader then you will have to use safestrap and flash a safestrap safe ROM which there are a bunch now.

At this point if your not on an MDK s4 and are on the me7 stock firmware I'd suggest looking into updating your phone to MK2 then root it and install SafeStrap.
There are a lot of ROM options out now for that setup. Not really anymore being made for ME7 I don't believe.
Like they said though read up 1st so you know what you're getting into. And if you do decide to go that route just Odin MK2 on your phone... Nice an easy. This of course if you're NOT on an MDK based phone running an ME7 ROM

Well you got to use Surge1223's method (just look for it in the general section) to partially upgrade your system to 4.4 with Odin and use AT&T's Safestrap 3.72 to be able to run a 4.4 rom. I think Bob is right, Echoe is the only option for Safestrap users on 4.4 right now.
