[Q] Installed Safestrap - stuck on boot - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I installed Safestrap on my MJ9 build but onto one of the rom slots. Didn't realize this wasn't what you do as it's not listed anywhere in the OP. Now I'm getting to the recovery/continue screen but both options just take me to a black screen where I have to pull my battery. What are my options at this point? Is there anyway to recover my backup I made through recovery? Just getting back to stock 4.3 at this point would be a start.

You need to re-image with ODIN more than likely. If you put your backup on an SD card you may be able to go back to it once you ODIN, root, install safestrap and install the recovery again. Good luck!

Someone please help me, I rooted my phone...

I have a s4 schi545 and used the all in one tool for rooting my phone. It worked successfully, so I ran the install twrp 2.5.0.2 I then went to the cyanogen website and put a rom on my phone in a folder and tried to load it onto my phone. The cm loading screen just loops endlessly and I cannot get my phone back on, can someone please help me I am starting to freak out a bit.
edit:
I got it to open with recovery mode, now is there a way I can have it boot into the 'default os' ?
You flashed cyanogenmod in, so the stock rom is gone (unless you actually performed a nandroid backup which you could restore if you did). You are going to have to mount your phone to a PC and load a different rom to flash.

Did you do a factory reset when loading the new ROM? You can't carry data from one ROM to another. If you really want to go back, as stated above you'll need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware.
You may have to go back to stock if you didn't make the backup and start over.
You can restore your phone to factory here

Thanks alot.
Before I went to sleep last night I rebooted in recovery and did a data wipe, I had no idea you had to clear the entire os and am happy to know the stock os is now gone, I was going to ask that today. What do you guys think of CM 10?
Thank you all so much.

I might have bricked my phone - Please help me recover it!

Hello,
I think I made a big error when attempting to install the Hyperdrive rom. I rooted the phone with Odin, then installed Safestrap. Then I rebooted into recovery to install the rom. I did everything perfectly up to this point. But then I decided I was going to wipe the cache. Except I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING. So I cannot boot into the phone because presumably the OS is deleted. The phone just freezes on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" splash screen.
I made a single mistake and now I cannot use my phone.
I think I could probably use Odin to flash the original OS on the phone right? But I would need the file and instructions on how to do it.
I really need my phone on a regular basis so if any of you could tell me what my options are and help me to recover, I would appreciate it.
If I could restore to MI1, that would be the easiest because then I could simply flash the Hyperdrive rom like I was planning.
Thanks. I hope someone can help me.
If it boots up to a splash screen, I'm pretty sure you can hold vol down+power+home to boot into download mode and odin.

there are some youtube videos on using ODIN and there are several discussion threads in XDA concerning odin and installing stock images back to the phone

Made a mistake. Need some direction.

I'll just get to the point.
I rooted the HDX using the towelroot app. Installed SuperSU, verified root access., all was successful thus far. At this point I installed Safestrap recovery, using the. apk.
Here's the problem. I thought I transferred the ROM and gapps package to the internal SD card. Could have sworn I did. Well I didn't. My second mistake was wiping all on the stock ROM slot once in Safestrap thinking I had the new ROM on the internal SD. Well I realized I didn't, had to leave the HDX in safestrap for a while and came back to the battery dead. Now it does not boot past the stock recovery where my options consist of reboot system or perform stock recovery. Stock recovery does nothing which is expected after my slip up.
What I'm wondering is if I can somehow flash the recovery back to my device via ADB? Or maybe the stock ROM? If not, do I have any other options.
Disclaimer: yes, I made a stupid mistake, I admit it. Please keep the flaming to a minimum.
yes you did.

Safetrap bootloop issue Galaxy S4

So i have a rooted android galaxy s4 (verizon)NK1 and i installed safetrap trying to install a custom rom, somehow after backing up and rebooting i keep getting this screen that says safetrap disabled with the options , recovery or continue, i think i may have uninstalled my os and the backup is no longer there , ive tried flashing stock recovery and rom but it goes back to the safetrap disabled screen after the samsung Custom screen loads and it just loops if i do nothing...PLEASE HELP!!!
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.

Stand by
Good luck
If you have an NK1 S4 from Verizon then the bootloader is locked and there is no reason to try and flash a custom recovery. Safestrap is it for us. Which version of SS are you using? Did you create a Slot 1 while you were in SS? Go back into SS recovery when the screen comes up and see if you can 'activate' slot 1 to see what happens.
I was able to get it working again by flashing my stock files in Odin. I've rooted again and have safestrap installed. Last time I made the mistake of trying to install a custom rom on the stock slot. So I wanna try again. I was thinking of getting hyperdriverls20 but since therearen't any nk1 modules I don't know if it will work. Thanks for your reply as well . Can you confirm if it'll work or what custom roms would work for the nk1 Verizon s4?

Best thing to do is it odin back to nc5 then flash away custom roms on safestrap

[Q] settings have stopped?

hi all its been a while since ive been on the boards because ive been running rooted stock deodexed rom. i havent flashed in a year or so but just recently my settings have stopped.
i continually have been getting this message instantly after ancelling out the message. i cannot get past the select language option. theres no escape.
I couldn't even backup my current rom. so i did a battery pull and rebooted into recovery to flash different roms. I've tried dn3 which was the last rom i had saved to my sd card, and miui7. both yielded the same results of the same message about the settings has stopped. its obvious something has went bad over time. i have done nothing but use it as a phone. no flashing or anything. is there something i need to flash in order to troubleshoot this issue? i do not have the money to obtain a replacement through assurion. also my recovery wouldnt let me restore my 1 backup on my sd card. so is there anything i can do from scratch? any settings zips to flash? Odin? ive searched boards and nothing specific to my device (I605). please help

I'm assuming you are still on the 4.1.2 bootloader, since you were able to flash miui7 and dn3.
If something has gotten corrupted, you could try Odin'ing the stock recovery back onto the device by following the directions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921
After getting the stock recovery on the device, do a factory reset and wipe cache in the stock recovery. Then you can use ODIN to reinstall CWM/Philz or TWRP (whichever recovery you were using previously). Hopefully you have an old backup you could restore... or you can set up your ROM again from the start after rebooting back into the system.
If worse comes to worst and wiping in the Stock recovery doesn't fix things...sounds like you may have to Odin back to stock 4.1.2, and then reroot with CASUAL and start over again. Droidstyle put together a good guide on how to restore the phone back to stock 4.1.2... you can find his guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. I think the 4.1.2 firmware link is down, but you can grab it from Sammobile.com.
You probably know... but don't flash the official Stock 4.3 or 4.4.2 Firmware onto the phone because there's no current bootloader unlock methods for those..... 4.1.2 is the last Android version for our I605's that has a "do it yourself" bootloader unlock method.
