So I've tried installing Hyperdrive multiple times on my S4 and I'm having issues. I bought the S4 used stock on the MK2 version. I rooted MK2 and then followed surges directions to upgrade to NC5 and retain my root. I currently am rooted running stock NC5 with Safestrap 3.72, and every time that I've created a ROM slot and attempted to install hyperdrive onto the phone, the aroma installer works great, I make sure that the ROM slot is active, and then I reboot. It boots up into the stock rom every time and the rom acts all glitchy and lags horribly. Also, if I plug a USB cable into the phone from the computer at that point, the phone just boot loops. I have followed the directions specifically for installing Hyperdrive to the letter multiple times, with no success. I end up going through surge's directions again to get to stock NC5 and then start all over again. Anyone have any clues what I'm doing wrong?

You can't create Rom slots with 3.72. Can ONLY flash to the stock slot.

you need to research info more....
clearly stated tht 3.72 safestrap does not support rom slots or installs to rom slots. This safestrap was released for att versions and has some limitations running on verizon phones
So then I need to uninstall SafeStrap 3.72 and reinstall 3.71 correct? I was thinking that was the problem, but the Hyperdrive thread is a long thread and I didn't read it all.

No. 3.71 isn't compatible with 4.4. You have to use 3.72 for KitKat Roms.

Assuming you already have root, the only way is to the stock slot of Safestrap 3.72.

I am rooted and am currently running safestrap 3.72. I'll give it a shot. I was under the impression that you never install anything other than stock in the stock slot, but I'm new to safestrap. This all makes me miss my GS4..
Thanks for all the help.
Also, just to be clear, I'll need to install hyperdrive and the nc5 module correct?

RLS 16.1 CWM Mod
Hi All, I am trying to upgrade from Hyperdrive RLS 9 to 16.1 on my S4. I am on MDK and using CWM as my recovery. I can see the RLS 16.1 ZIP file in my file manager and I can see it through CWM when I am running normally. The ZIP is loaded on the SD card on the phone.
The issue is when I boot into recovery and go into the clockwork folder to find the ZIP it doesn't show up. Not sure why CWM isn't seeing the ZIP files.
Any thoughts? Thanks

Hello evevryone, I had hyperdrive 9 (i think) on my ME7 gs4 for a while then i tried to update to rls14 and i messed something up. i thought it was because i didnt also install the modules.zip file. after getting my phone working again, i ended up updating to the MI1 firmware (idk why i was just kinda fed up with rooting/custom roms) but now i've been trying to install RLS14 again and cant get it to work. I have rooted the phone again and have safestrap 3.7. when i attempted to install i did everything pretty normally, also chose stock kernel, and also installed the mi1-modules.zip after before rebooting like a video on youtube suggested. However, when I reboot it wont start it just sends me back to recovery mode then i have to go back to safe strap and go back to stock. Is this a known issue? do i have to use a different version of hyperdrive? do i not need the modules.zip? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!!

In order to use RLS14 you have to update your phone to MK2, re root using Saferoot, then install Safestrap 3.71.

I installed Safestrap onto my GS4 in hopes of installing a ROM to get ride of touchwiz. I found a safestrap compatible ROM and installed it through safestrap. Now I cant boot into the system. I wiped all data and cache and factory setting. When ever I restart, sometimes it says: [Safestap: Disabled] or [Safestrap: enabled] I can access recovery. I tapped continue on both and just doesn't work.
Bit of a noob so dont be too hard
EDIT: I Installed Hyperdrive successfully until the end. Its at this screen: Beginning Android OS 4.3 boot sequence... .... .... ...." It has stayed here for hours, all night. Should I take out the battery? Buttons don't work

I created the rom slot. Im MK2, I used safestrap because I have a locked BL. Whats SS? I used a ROM called Barebone Stock.
When ever I flash a rom, all that happens when I restart is it says safestrap: Disabled or enabled. I choose recovery every time because rebooting doesnt do any thing.

SS = abreviation for safestrap, thought that was pretty obvious
barebone ROM? Im not familar with that one being SS compatible. The safestrap disabled msg on display means the stock rom slot is active and the phone should boot to stock. When you have rom loaded into a rom slot 1 or 2 or whatever, you must "activate" that slot for it to boot. I would suggest deleting the rom slot you made and start over.

So, let's start from the basics - you're not telling us what versions of anything that you're using.
First, what build is your phone? i.e. the stock slot.
What version of Safestrap are you trying to use?
What version of Hyperdrive are you trying to flash?
When the phone hangs like that during boot, something critical has crashed that's preventing the boot.
You're booting Android 4.3 according to the above, so you should be flashing using SS 3.71 on build MJ7 or MK2 and Hyperdrive RLS14.
If all that is correct: the build is MJ7 or MK2, the Safestrap is 3.71, and you're trying Hyperdrive RLS14, then the likely cause is that you have a bad download. Check the md5sum after downloading to ensure that it's OK. Download it to your PC, not directly to the phone, then check the MD5 before transferring it to your sdcard and flashing it.

OK, If your stock slot is damaged, you probably need to re-flash and start over.
Download the MK2 "No-Wipe" rom image from this thread and flash it using ODIN 3.09 - that'll get you back to stock, Then try the Safestrap stuff again. Seems like you have the right versions of things, so if you follow the directions, it should boot OK.
Be sure to check the MD5 of anything you download. There's free software available that does that.

Well is your stock slot still working? If u just messed up a ROM slot than you can erase them and start over.
But if it was your stock slot then using Odin probably is the only thing that will help you.

Well you probably just need the USB drivers for your phone that's all. I just went through that myself with my new laptop. I ended up just googling it and finding the right ones.
It will work for you, once your back to stock just use Saferoot again, then install SafeStrap again... Then be certain whatever ROM u flash is SafeStrap compatible. I'd say use ROM slots for the time being until your more comfortable with things.... Don't take that the wrong way... Just saying is all. Messing with the stock slot can lead you back to where you're at right now that's all.

My research has netted me a phone that is stuck in a boot loop.
Followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726868
and installed Hyperdrive RLS15, however it is stuck on a constant reboot
How can I fix this? How can I verify that the upgrade from mk2 to nc2 went perfectly? odin claimed it passed when I wrote the files as said in the thread.
When its trying to boot up I see the safestrap, then nothing appears on the screen. It vibrates twice, and starts over again.
and for some reason it will delete the slot 1 I setup and installed this in and force itself back to the stock rom slot.
I am using safestrap 3.72 though
I also noticed under stock rom slot, my system partition size is 0MB O_O my data partition size is 9970mb and cache is 2040mb. Something went wrong here?
Someone please help. Thanks.
Ok after MUCH more reading. I downgraded back to mk2, and now I'm able to get started on my nc2 rooting and rom installing. I think I figured it out. Somehow I got a 3.72 version of safestrap and that messed me up.

hyperdrive 15 will not run on nc2 if you upgraded your bootloader to NC2 which is 4.4....where in that link did it talk about loading hyperdrive? SS 3.72 is for 4.4, safestrap versions are tied to basebuilds and as far as I know, not backwards compatible.
right now there aren't really any custom ROMs you can load into safestrap 3.72/NC2/NC5 except perhaps echo.....all the other discussions are for stock kitkat rom

I forgot to add the SU file after flashing Echoe Rom and I had to start all over. In your case, I don't think you even have to flash SU after flashing Hyperdrive 16.1 bc SU is cooked into the Rom.

There is a root now, but no WiFi?

Now, onto my problem. I still can't seem to get Wi-Fi working on my NC5/Verizon S4! I have the Hyperdrive 16.1 ROM installed, and everything works well except I just CANNOT turn on my Wi-Fi! I've tried flashing modem modules and such through Odin and SafeStrap, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on what I should do that DOESN'T include wiping and starting over?
Thanks,

Now, onto my problem. I still can't seem to get Wi-Fi working on my NC5/Verizon S4! I have the Hyperdrive 16.1 ROM installed, and everything works well except I just CANNOT turn on my Wi-Fi! I've tried flashing modem modules and such through Odin and SafeStrap, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on what I should do that DOESN'T include wiping and starting over?
Thanks,
JB

Root it with Towelroot. Then you can install Safestrap and then flash the modules.
As a MDK owner lately my wifi on HD16.1 turns on fine, but i cant data to go through (send receive nothing at all, worse than having 1 bar on 3g bad). I'm headed to my girls in a bit for dinner where i'll hop on her wifi and find out if its junky comcast router i have or ROM related.
Edit/update: It's my home router right now on at+t n no issues with six AL or data
I have already rooted with Towelroot, and can boot into Safestrap fine. I've tried flashing "gogolies-wififix-VZW-retail-NC5-w-modules-SS.zip" and "I545VRUFNC5_modem.zip" and "jfltevzw-NC5-modules.zip" in Safestrap, as well as "modem-only-NC5-odin.tar" in Odin. Nothing works.

No problem. ...I found this zip usually does the trick.

Are you flashing the NC2 Gogolies fix on the nc5 base with safestrap? I did try that along with flashing Hyperdrive 16.1 and required SU zip file, that still did not allow my wifi to work.

same with me
Make sure you have the latest SuperSU, though. I already had HyperDrive 16.1 installed on NC5 BL, and Towelroot let me root once again. Put the "gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS.zip" file on your SD card. Make sure you have SELinux mode set to "Permissive" with SELinux Mode Changer. Then, get SafeStrap 3.72 and the new SuperSU 2.00. Give SS the permissions in SU, open SS and reboot to flash the "gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS.zip" file. Reboot, and you should have Wi-Fi again!
Verizon GS4. I took the NG6 update but downgraded back to NC5 and am rooted with towelroot 3. Installed Supersu, Busybox and am using the 3.75 ver of Safestrap. The Safestrap apk installs, when I open it and press Install Recovery, it runs through it's paces and shows Installation Complete but does not show Recovery Installed on the status line. When I reboot the phone the Safestrap splash screen does not come up. I've tried this with and without SELinux in Permissive mode. Also tried SS 3.71 and 3.72. Tried uninstalling SS, rebooting and re-installing as well. What am I missing?
No help for you here but at least I can say your not the only one. I am experiencing the same issue on mine. But I didn't downgrade. Did you just get your device? I did. I'm thinking it's something that was blocked in the newer models?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have had the device since it came out and finally decided to root it and put on a custom rom. I've done it with all my previous phones so I'm not new to this. The downgrade from NG6 to NC5 and back to 6 was to root the device. Its explained elsewhere in the forum. That went smoothly. I know SS to be reliable so I'm a bit stumped here.

Ok I was able to get passed this. I was using the wrong version of Safestrap. This is the file name of the one that worked: Safestrap-KLTEVZW-NCG-3.75-B03.apk I cannot post links

I wouldn't. Don't use the s5 version. On the s4. Look at safestrap 3.75 b01 apk on the general forum.

Are you referring to Safestrap-I545-3.75-KitKat-A01.apk? I did not find a b01. The A01 did not work for me.
