Hi again guys,
Just got 4.4.2 installed, and rooted.
I installed Safestrap 3.72, and every time I hit install Recovery, it goes thru it's motions, but the recovery is never actually installed.
Can anyone help?

How are you determining if the recovery is installed?
After you click "Install Recovery" you should do a NORMAL reboot. When the Safestrap screen appears, you then select the Recovery option.
If you use a "boot to recovery" program, it will cause your phone to boot to the stock recovery, not Safestrap.

This is the only way to get into the SS recovery on a VSW S4.
I am also having this issue. I just full wiped odin'd my phone to stock. I rooted with towelroot and went to install SS. When I hit the intstall recovery button, it says installation complete but at the top, it says not installed.
I have normal rebooted, and SS splash screen does not show up. I have tried multiple times and every time is the same. any help would be great.

In had this exact problem. I fixed it by setting selinux to permissive. There's an app in the play store that does it. You may need to get busy box installed as well.

^^^^ This fixes it, did it for a friend who rooted with nc5 base. believe the app is called selinux mode changer or something. after that install recovery in safestrap, should work
The selinux mode changer did the trick. This should be stickied or moved so it gets attention for future reference.

It's believe it's actually a step in the main root+Ss guide for nc5 in the general thread. .. It's an easy step to skip by accident. No worries, we're (most of us) all here to help each other. Glad you got it sorted

Hi I have the exact same pb, I flashed several times my S4 (I was on RLS4 before) following the instructions, no way to get out from the endless reboot loop.
There is a suggestion using ODIN, I am not very familiar on how to do that, any help?
Thanks

dont install any audio mod and also dont install any of the music players just the samsung one !
before you go through all the trouble of ODIN, which seems to be everyones answer now a days, it is a kernel issue, flash a verizon loki kernel. It should boot.

First, if you have a back up, restore just the system partition (this will also format your current /system) Then do a factory reset and reboot. Now I if that doesn't work, Odin is your best bet.

FOR anyone installing Hyperdrive, the most probable cause of boot loop in the Walkman Music App. Don't choose it in Aroma!!!
If you already have, the only way to fix the boot loop is to ODIN back to stock, as Dark Menace suggested.
He can PM you the stock image, which you will have to flash in ODIN to successfully boot up again.
hey I do plenty of flashing, and from time to time get into trouble... But ODIN is not the first choice to fix... Please read the forums:cyclops:
Sent a few PM's to see if that helps. You can try the kernels first then go from there.

I am trying hyperdrive on Baseband I545VRUEMJ7 and build JSS15J.I545VRUEMJ7 (4.3). I am able to root and install safestrap. Even hyperdrive/dirty unicorns (i tired both) installs fine, but ends up in reboot loop. am i missing anything here?.
I am running Hyperdrive 13 installed via safestrap 3.71 and my mk2 s4 DOES boot into the OS. Everything in the ROM works perfectly fine and I can reboot normally.
On each reboot, I see the safestrap splash screen asking if I want to boot into recovery or continue into the ROM and after 10 seconds it boots into the ROM automatically as expected.
When I try to boot into the actual recovery, however, I just get a black screen and I have to pull the battery. This happens even when I click reboot to recovery from the safestrap application in the ROM. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling countless amount of times, even rebooting after an uninstall and then reinstalling from the stock OS, yet nothing seems to work. I've tried manually installing busybox too, but still nothing. I do still have root access, verified with root checker too.
Please help
Thanks

I believe you ave to go into "Boot Options" and pretty much everything you do is in there. You choose a rom slot, then "Activate". Omce it's active, it will show green in the upper right (I think) of the screen, but if you activate the Stock rom slot, it will show RED in the upper right, warning you not to flash is this rom slot (although some have done it successfully for certain reasons, I believe).
I think they all know that... The op isn't able to get into SS at all from what I gathered. K1mu asked that to clear things up a bit... Could be wrong but that's how I took it

Yes this is correct sorry if it wasn't clear. No matter which method I try, I can't seem to boot into SS recovery. Rom Slot 1 is active so it just automatically boots into Hyperdrive.
Holding Volume up, power and home actually brings me into Manual Mode (is this normal?)
EDIT: To clarify, safestrap has worked before. When I flashed HD13 in the rom slot, it booted into HD but now it won't let me go back to safestrap recovery and I can't flash another ROM. Stock rom slot is still in tact as well.

When you boot, Safestrap should show up if it's installed. What I'd try is to open Safestrap and toggle the recovery (uninstall it, then reinstall it).
NOT uninstall the Safestrap application as that'll wipe any slots you've created. Open Safestrap, then "Uninstall Recovery" followed by "Install Recovery". Hopefully that'll get your recovery back without losing your slots.

I can't get into safestrap. I'm running HyperDrive 13, and i installed it onto the stock slot after playing around with the different slots.
It was working without issues for a while, whenever i restarted i got the safestrap screen, but now that RLS14 is out, when i restart to get into safestrap it just boots me straight into RLS13. I don't see the safestrap boot screen that gives me the option to change slots.
Any idea on what it might be?

Did you try to reinitialize Safestrap?
Go to Safestrap in your app drawer and "install recovery." If Safestrap isn't there, run a file manager and install the .apk again.

Greetings all. After tons of reading I felt I was ready for a custom ROM (there are so many suggestions on how to custom ROM, but I "thought" I figured it out). I have a Galaxy S4, had kitkat 4.4.2, nc5. I downloaded hyperdrive KK RLS16.1. After rooting with towelroot, installing appropriate programs to allow me to install safestrap, I also downloaded the hyperdrive and the module fix for the wifi fix to the sd. I booted into recovery mode, did a full backup to my sd, did a full wipe, installed the rom, then rebooted. The phone booted to the G5 screen where I would turn on the wifi, only it wouldn't work because I didn't install the wifi module yet. I just continued without wifi and everything seems to work fine. Realizing I maybe was supposed to install the modules after the rom, but before rebooting, I tried booting into recovery, but it will either boot into the screen where it comes up with the android icon, and below it saying "downloading, do not turn off target", or I can boot back into the normal phone without wifi. I tried holding vol up, vol dwn, menu button, etc, while powering up, but I can't get there. Is there a way to get into the normal recovery mode? Since I can use 4G, should I reinstall safestrap, or any suggestions? I searched for threads to this problem but to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Thank you! Yes, I installed recovery after I installed safestrap. I also tried to uninstall recovery, then reboot, then install recovery again. Still same problem. I put on my glasses and when I reboot into recovery, the tiniest text at the top says odin mode, so I assume its looking for a connection to a computer to upload something? I was wondering if I uninstall rcovery and safestrap, could I install TWRP 2.7? I read something about 2 deffernt signatures and don't want to make this worse than it is. The phone actually is working OK except for the wifi, but it seems to me I need to be in recovery to load the modules to fix that??
Hello,
I would say to odin back to nc5 and start all over. This would fix any issue you have, assuming that you are doing everything correctly.
One thing you forgot to do: flash supersu after installing the rom.
I'm sure you can get into normal recovery. Hold down vol-up, power, and home buttons at the same time. When it boots and after a couple of seconds, you'll see blue text appear in the upper left-hand corner. When you see that, release only the power button and continue holding the other buttons.

Again, thanks for trying to help me. I forgot to mention I did flash supersu. If I try to get into recovery, I do not get the blue lines. It just goes to the downloading screen and sits there. Either that or I can go into the normal boot. I heard not to uae odin as that is unreliable. I have a mac and there is another program that is recommended. I was wondering if I can try twrp on top of safestrap, or would that brick me?

That's hard to say really. You can try to install SafeStrap but if that failed install of CWM due to the locked bootloader gets in the way obviously Odin is the best bet.
I'd just have your Odin file ready.

good for you!
I was rooted and on hyperdrive rls19 and everything was ok accept the dialer would not switch calls on call waiting. Rls20 came out so I figured I would give it a shot maybe it would fix the issue. It didn't... So I asked a question about it in the hyperdrive help section. It was suggested to install a dialer app for touch wiz. which seemed to install but did nothing. So last night I bit the bullet and did a full wipe install of Hyperdrive. Which didn't go well. Could not get back into android. Constant app crashing and issues. Out comes Odin with a pit file and 4.4.2 flash. Seems like it is back to stock.
Now for the issues. towelrooted and grabbed twrp manager to install recovery. It will not install recovery. Everytime I try to get into recovery even holding down up home and power it just goes to downloading. I am so at wits end!!! Please help!

I was rooted and on hyperdrive rls19 and everything was ok accept the dialer would not switch calls on call waiting. Rls20 came out so I figured I would give it a shot maybe it would fix the issue. It didn't... So I asked a question about it in the hyperdrive help section. It was suggested to install a dialer app for touch wiz. which seemed to install but did nothing.

What build are you on? If it's anything after MDK, you can't install a custom recovery because of the locked bootloader. Your only option is Safestrap.

Then your only option is Safestrap. No custom recoveries.
How did you install RLS 19? Were you MDK before you used Odin?

I used safestrap to install RLS19. The problem I was having is every time I went into recovery it would 1st go into the downloading screen. and I would have to power and down volume to get to reboot and goto safestrap. Did I maybe odin in the wrong version when I fixed it last night? I cannot get Bluetooth working today at all.

How are you trying to get into recovery? Pretty sure the only way to do that with Safestrap is through the app itself.
As far as your Bluetooth issues, I have no idea. What file did you flash with Odin?
