Hey, I didn't find any similar threads specifically for the verizon S4, but my question is whether or not i will keep root access if I do a factory reset on my i-545 NC5 running Android 4.4.2 through safestrap, or if there is a better way to clear up some memory. I want to flash Hyperdrive RLS18 through safestrap, but there is too much saved directly to the phone to make a decently sized slot. Any ideas on the best way to wipe the entire phone except for root access, safestrap, and my 4.4.2 ROM?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bump, Any input?

To be more accurate, on SS 3.72 rom slots don't work, so not just HyperDrive but any KitKat TW rom.

Well it's almost stable for AT&T, Verizon isn't officially supported. The problem right now is that Hashcode, the sole developer/genius who created and maintains Safestrap is stopping support on the project on Monday, because he got an awesome new job to focus on (congrats Hash). He said he was looking for people to continue the work but I haven't seen anything on who those devs would be or if anyone could even qualify.

Is the only way right now to flash a rom is to delete all data in stock slot on ss then flash a compatible rom? I dont want to have to lose my data to do this.

Officially there is no way to flash a custom ROM on MJ7. Unofficially i have heard of some people doing this, but i HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND IT! This is because if you screw something up there is a high chance of bricking. For now i would advise you to wait until Hashcode has ported safestrap over to MJ7.

Well it's just that Safestrap for 4.3 is in beta right now. It is risky and unless you don't care if you brick the phone or are really experienced I would wait it out.

I agree...unless you don't need your phone or like to reflash and do Odin...its beta and hashcode does his development step by step. Loading Roms and having issues with a beta release won't speed the process. Pay attention to what hashcode wants...I'm just saying
powered by hashcode safestrap hyperdrive 10.2
MJ7
Safestrap 3.71 is working with safestrap and RLS 11& RLS12 is working flawlessly. I have it in slot 2 on my S4. I highly reccommend flashing only stock kernel with installer then installing MJ7 patch before initial boot then changing kernel if need be.
Let me know if this helps!
Mj7 build can be found at this link!!

I just got done about 2 days ago with moving to mj7 via the non wipe Odin file, then OTA'd to mk2, rooted with the safe root process, installed safe strap 3.71, installed HD12 and moved it to the stock side.
I gotta say I'm definitely impressed with HD12 and how smooth it is.

Safestrap galaxy s3 4.3 verizon ml1?
Just wondering if safestrap will work on my galaxy s3. I am on 4.3 build ml1 with saferoot and have locked bootloader.
I have a rooted verizon gs4 running the 4.3 update and safe strap. If I install the pure google rom on a second rom slot will it brick my phone?

it won't boot man. only touchwiz 4.3 roms work with safestrap. tis the curse of having this awesome phone until the bootloader gets unlocked/bypassed.

Would hyper drive Work?
Hyperspace works great on my SCH-I545 running MK2 with Safestrap. Not much else will work with Safestrap. If you find yourself soft bricked, use the stock image that you flash with Odin. You'll find yourself unrooted; but you can easily root again with the install.bat found in the forums.
Also, Hyperdrive comes with several useful tweaks that not only speed up your device, but also make it look very nice.

yes, as long as you flash the correct one for safestrap and load kernel module afterwardf. Plenty of info in hyperdrive threads
Stock touchwiz and all, didn't flash any roms but I am rooted with unlocked bootloader. Any mod I've ever wanted, I was able to do through xposed or just flash some small file. My questions is, are there any benefits to changing roms? If so, what TW rom would you guys suggest?

Woohoo! Don't loose that MDK bootloader! You're one of the lucky/smart ones that didn't take an OTA update.

Install or update TWRP with Goomanager if you're on an old recovery. Just click install openrecoveryscript, that easy.
Stock TW KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
There are lots of improvements in JB and KK, as well as a couple fixable "issues" (e.g. sd card).
You can sell it to me and then I will give you my phone, that would be the best thing for the world.
Definitely gonna keep my MDK bootloader. The funny thing that's making me want to change is the App to SD card feature in the updates.
I'll make the switch from CWM to TWRP and give stock TW KK a shot. Are there any GS5 ROMs for us? I feel so out of it lol.
I've been flashing since the OG Droid and had close to 10 rooted phones but after getting my GS4 and having everything working perfect(including the mods, I.e. WiFi Ap), I just left it

I'd use Flashify from the Play Store to update to a new recovery. Using Goo or ROM Manager can lead to possibly having to Odin back to stock and start fresh... Couldn't tell you exactly why but it's happened to a few of us including me.
Also... Go for a ROM like C ROM, Mahdi, or Liquid Smooth... Ditch TW

I too have MDK so.... :highfive:! I am running Hyperdrive RLS 15 and it runs flawless. Loads of extra features if you like that sort of stuff. I used the Ktoonz Kernel with it so it comes with the KTweaker App for complete control over the kernel. Loads of battery life. Its 4.3 but if you want 4.4 then wait about a week or so and Sbreen94 will have it released (atleast that is his current time frame).
Hey Guys, I'm new to the Gs4, trying to understand the different recoveries
I have my gs4 on KK 4.4.2 NC5, and was able to get it rooted, get SS 3.72 installed and get the hyperdrive rom installed
As I understand it, this needed to be put on the stock slot.
I was looking around, and found a few other roms I would like to try Carbon, Beanstalk, Unicorn...
Am I safe to assume that these won't work with safestrap?
Would they work with another recovery?
Or being that im on NC5 I'm limited?
Thanks in advance!
You have no choice for recovery except safestrap. You can load any safestrap compatible rom...and can only go in Stock slot.
sent by safestrap powered echo v26
So if I wanted to try the other roms, I have to use stock slot of safestrap.
Is it tru that AOSP roms won't work on safestrap?

SS for Verizon android 4.4 is partially functional...limitations include making and installing to rom slots.
No asop or cm roms...There are a couple asop roms but not 100% functional. ...I have never tried

SO If I were to revert back to the stock rom, and remove SS.
Could I install another recovery, then try the other roms?

Please, read the very basics about this phone. You either have MDK (which you DON'T(and which you CANNOT get, period) or you have safestrap. There's nothing else. But a little bit of reading goes along way with that question.

I have installed the Safestrap 3.7.5 on my s4, yet i can not install the cm 12.1.
It does not matter how many times i have tried, i can not succeed.
It always ends up getting into stock recovery.
Please, show me whether i can have the custom rom installed.
Many thanks.

If my memory serves me correct, you cannot install CM/AOSP based ROMs with SafeStrap.

Thank you very much. i do appreciate it
there's also eclipse and kitpop if you want more of a stock android look and feel
Dev work on Eclpise has been stopped with no sign of it starting up again.
npJohnson is busy with the bootloader stuff, so there IS activity with kitpop, but very little. You want him to work on the bootloader, because then you can get cm 12.1 and whatnot.
That said, bot are rock solid ROMs with good battery life from my experience.
