I don't know what happened. Or why it won't work.
When Safestrap was originally finished, I installed Hyperdrive without a problem. An update came, I downloaded and installed. It made it so I couldn't use HotSpot anymore. So, I figured it was the Rom, and I installed Jellybean Rom. I didn't like it. I tried to install the original Hyperdrive I had, and once its installed and reboots, the lights come on for one second and shut off. Downloaded the newest Hyperdrive, same issue.
The instructions say wait for 10 minutes. I did, and longer. (Range usually 20-40 minutes)
Last night I wanted to try again, (downloaded newest hyperdrive. I have sloooooow internet. Took 5 hours to finish). So, I tried installing today following the instructions, same issue. It installs and says everything is fine, reboot, safestrap pops up, loads normally through that, and the lights are on after like it starts with Stock, lights shut off, phone stops working.
When this happens, the phone does not respond to anything. Power does nothing. I waited 45 minutes the 3rd time trying to reboot after install. The phone will not turn on, respond, or anything unless I pop the battery out and put it back in. I can get back into Safestrap that way.
I really want to use Hyperdrive, but it just won't reboot for my phone.
I do have the Verizon i545 version, ME7, Safestrap, Rooted, and newest Hyperdrive Rom. Used the Safestrap Kernel, but the phone locks up.
I've tried default settings, different Rom settings, (2gb and 3gb), removing almost everything from install, adding what I want, adding what I like, etc. No combination of settings will let me phone boot into Hyperdrive.
Any thoughts?
Are you completely removing then re-creating the slot when trying all these flashes?
Are you flashing the ME7 kernel module.zip ?
I redo the rom slot each time and act like it's the first time.
And i can't install the module... Tried multiple times but it fails almost instantly through ss.

Have you tried to re-download the module? Preferably on the computer then transfer to your ExtSDCard with the ROM.
So... The one I downloaded to my computer failed, but the one I did with my phone worked.
Still the same issue. Won't boot past the SS message.

While you were trying to install did you notice if zip signature was checked if so uncheck when you install and uncheck when you install module other than that don't know what else to say. When i first started i found that to be my problem.
The zip signatures were not checked. : /

And I've tried the older version Hyperdrive with the new ME7 Modules, still won't work. I can't understand because everything says it was successful and ready to go, but it just doesn't.
Also double checked my i545 version, it is still ME7 and not the new one. The new update is pushy and wants to be installed more aggressively than the ME7 did. Highly annoying...

Get off 3.62 and go back to 3.6 if you can. use root uninstaller to get rid of the current SS and shut down normally. ( all in stock rom ) reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. put the 3.0 SS back on and install twrp through that and reboot fully. then you can go into SS and reboot to recovery and you should be good
EDIT: go back to 3.6 SS not 3.0 haha
EDIT 2: always wipe even after you just created the slot and flash the modules with HD10 and advanced wip the dalvik and the cache only. and chill for 10 and boot her up..... and make sure you didnt accdentally get the dreadful OTA!!!

I promise you this makes no sense....and I think there was something wrong with the stock rom...only thing I can conclude. I did a factory reset and bricked my phone. I can't even get into Safestrap now...whatever the issue was with the custom rom is now the issue with the stock rom. So, i'm just going to wipe my phone and start over from scratch as that is the only available step. Ill let you know if it fixed the issue or not.

Did you have 3.62? my buddy did and his phone wouldnt let him delete it! crazy. i dont like 3.62 but i was running HDrls10 like a champ. not a single issue. With the me7 base i want to say i didnt even flash the modules over it but i cant remember. but basically ( by what i wrote down) you were going to start from scratch anyway.. there is a better root out now anyway. use the dialer codes and get a REAL factory reset!! There are a lot of people that arent digging the 3.62..... it was causing bootloops for a while but there are def still some lingering issues i think.

Well...nothing has worked.
Update for everyone, I was using the older SS, 3.60.
I killed everything, put the original Verizon ME7 Rom on the phone, re-rooted, put 3.62 SS on, (Done like it), installed the HDrls10, Installed the module, (both successful), restarted, exact same thing. Right after Safestrap Enabled pops up, the phone goes dark and the battery needs to be removed and put back in for it to turn on again.
So, I tried something crazy and for whatever reason it worked as far as HD is concerned...but...I went outside of the instructions.
I have the HD rls9 Final. I installed it through SS, used the modded Kernel, (non SS), and restarted. It popped right up in about 45 seconds. (Wasnt working before I reset everything and started over)
I tried HD rls10 Final that way, and nothing.
I will be redownloading it tonight to make sure it isn't the download. (I have slow internet, itll take all night likely.) : /
If anyone is looking to actually uninstall SS (which you need to do to roll back a version) you need to use the commands hashcode has provided. Using Terminal Emulator on the stock side will accomplish that. Read up on hashcode's SS OP.
My phone will not accept HDrls 10....no matter what I try. It accepted HDrls9 without issue, minus the hotspot not working. But it will not accept HDrls10...
Im out of ideas...
EDIT: I downloaded the HDrls 10 rom from two locations, tried both, both failed this morning.

All I can think of is somehow you are getting bad downloads. Have you checked the MD5s to match per the download sites listing?

I just double checked the MD5. It matches the download. How frustrating. Double checked the build, double checked the MD5, double checked install procedure, etc. It flat doesn't work on my phone, and there is no logical reason to it. I tried from a fresh build twice now, doing the rooting and SS install from stock everything.
It locks up right after SS, still.
Electronics hate me, it has been determined before. This is just further proof.
: /
So, I've done pretty much everything feasible. Guess Ill have to stick with an older HD or different rom. : (
Also, hotspot doesn't work HD 9 for me, (nor Jellybeans). I installed the module when I did the rom, but there is no hotspot for one. And two, when I download and use FoxFi, which I paid for to use on the Stock Rom before SS, it will try to turn it on and then it freezes and crashes.
All I want is a non-Verizon Rom with working Hotspot!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Looks like that aint happening.
Well played Verizon...well played. Perahps I should get an international phone and go to another company. Expensive, but tempting.
So, the final verdict for those following -
Hyperdrive 10 - Does not work on my i545 no matter what I tried.
Hyperdrive 9 - Works but the hotspot is glitched and froze no matter what I tried.
Jellybean - Works the same as HD 9
Synergy - Works. Everything on it works, hotspot, install, etc.
Not sure why the others did not work. But, for whatever reason Synergy works flawlessly for my i545. Installed and downloaded the same ways as the others, yet it worked.
: /
I was planning on trying a few others first, but Synergy claims to block Samsung from logging information from my phone. I realize this doesn't stop every company from doing it, but its the thought that counts. lol. So, Im trying this Rom out now. It's no hyperdrive, but it works.
After a BUNCH of tries I finally got it to work!!
I have a Verizon i545 with ME7. I basically started as if I'd never installed HD 9.1 in the first place.
Here's what I did.
1. Double check that your device is rooted. I used Root Checker Basic. I actually re-rooted my device just to be sure (I venture to guess it might have been unnecessary) and it worked.
2. I used a 4GB SD formatted to ex-fat and put the HD RLS10 AND the ME7 modules .zip file on it (Both on the SD)
3. I then booted into recovery.
4. Make a new ROM slot.
5. Name it whatever you like.
6. When you go to flash HD, hit the add zip button and select the ME7 modules.zip
7. When HD gets done flashing UNCHECK the "Reboot" box up top and then hit the reboot tab at the bottom right.
8. It will automatically flash the ME7 modules next. When it says 'Successful', then reboot.
9. Give it a few seconds and hopefully it will work for you as well. Good luck.
Latest installable version for Me7?
What is the latest installable version of HD for verizon locked Me7 bootloader, i currently have rls10.0 installed and ive tried 10.1, 10.2, and now 12 and none of them boot up.
Hi XDA,
For the past several days I've tried to Safestrap a custom ROM to my phone. I'm running a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 with ME7 (Verizon), Android 4.2.2. It's worth noting that the phone has not received an official Verizon update since August; I tried using Loki back then before knowing about the locked bootloader, and it has not affected anything except that the phone softbricks into the ODIN screen whenever it tries to install a Verizon update. (I hope this is not the cause of the problem, but let me know if you think it is.) It's also worth noting that I deleted the stock messaging app (SecMMS.apk and SecMMS.odex.) I am using Safestrap 3.65.
So far, I've tried three different ROMs (Hyperdrive RLS10.2, Jelly Beans Build 7, Google Play Edition for 4.2.2.) Each install produced the same results: it installs just fine in the ROM slot (along with the ME7 modules afterwards), but when I reboot the system, it shows the Samsung logo, the Safestrap splash screen, and then the screen goes black indefinitely. A battery removal is required.
I've tried every trick I could find to get the ROMs working. I've done a full factory reset each time (data + both caches), tried downloading each mod several times on both my phone and my computer (verified MD5 each time) and same with the modules, waited at least 20 minutes during each boot attempt, tried installing each ROM with default settings and minimal apps, used Stock kernels each time, made sure the modules are installed before rebooting (I also tried without the modules to make sure they weren't the problem--same result.) Each time I try an install, I delete the ROM slot and format it again (usually a 1GB-2GB-300MB split.) I've searched and searched and can't seem to find anyone with this problem that hasn't solved it through one of the fixes I've unsuccessfully tried.
I'm plum out of ideas now, and am hoping someone may have more wisdom to share. Please help!
I am in NO WAY affiliated with any of the ROM developers mentioned below nor am I a developer at all. I discovered this by trial and error and decided to share with the community. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything mentioned worked for me and me alone. I will NOT guarantee it will work for you. I cannot offer any support concerning why it will not work for you and NEITHER DOES THE DEVS AND THEIR VZW ROMs!!!! SO DO NOT CLOG THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEIR ROM WON'T WORK WITH YOUR SPRINT NOTE 3!!!!!
THIS IS FOR 4.4.X ONLY!!! I am currently on NC5 baseband so I have no idea if it will work with NH7. It should, but again, I can only speak for me and my setup. SMS, MMS (with 3rd party app to send possibly) and GPS all work for me. Calls are working as well.
EDIT: Ok folks, I have decided to go ahead and post the how to anyway even though I have gotten no response from any of the devs of the Verizon ROMs mentioned below. I assume they are working on new projects and do not have time to mess with this discovery. They also do this for free and have lives to live just like the rest of us. If at any time they want me to remove this I will, purely out of respect for what they have done for all of us. With that in mind, THE DEVS HAVE NO TIME TO SUPPORT THIS SO PLEASE DO NOT CLOG UP THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS RELATED TO THEIR VZW ROMS WORKING ON SPRINT DEVICES!
What you will need: A rooted N900P Note 3 device with a custom recovery installed. I am currently using the latest Philz Recovery so I cannot say for sure if using TWRP will cause this not to work on your device. I don't think it will matter, but to be safe I can only speak for Philz Recovery right now.
If you are on TWRP and want to switch to Philz (many have suggested doing so regardless if you try this or not) keep in mind Philz is not being updated now ( I think ) so the latest build for KitKat is 6.12.9 as far as I know and can be found HERE for the N900P. If you don't know how to change recoveries you probably shouldn't be trying this at all. Research it and you will find out how to do it. Or ask around. You will also need to use a 3rd party MMS app possibly to send MMS messages. On Eclipse it seems to work using the stock Messenger, but on Alliance I had to use Textra to send MMS.
Step 1: BACK UP YOUR CURRENT SETUP!!!! I cannot stress how important this is with ANY ROM flashing or file changing. I have been caught with my pants down before and it really sucks when you have to Odin back to stock because you did not do a Nandroid backup. That is the main purpose of having a custom recovery like Philz or TWRP or CWM is to completely back up your device. Most or all offer EFS backups as well. Also keep a copy of said backup on an external device in case you accidentally wipe your EXT card. Don't think it's not possible, I have done it on other devices because I thought I was cool and could wipe real fast and flash.
Step 2: Acquire the stock kernel for your build/baseband ( Mine is NC5 ) in a flashable .zip. The NCS stock kernel can be found HERE OR you can use Lean Kernel 3.10 ( which I am using) that can be found HERE. MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THE HTLESPR version!!!
Step 3: Download the Verizon Touchwiz ROM of your choice. I have successfully tested this on Eclipse and Alliance. Eclipse can be found HERE Make sure you use the correct build ( 4.4.X ) because it needs to match your baseband. In other words, if you are currently on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 use the same ROM build that they offer. Eclipse 2.0.1 is what I am using. Alliance ROM is HERE Those are the only 2 I have tried thus far. Experiment if you dare, but the others should work as well ( in theory).
Step 4: Grab the flashable app APN Backup and Restore provided HERE THANKS TO FREEZA!!!! You will need this to get the Sprint APNs on your device. More on how do do this later.
Step 5: Take a deep breath. While still on your Sprint ROM, update your PRL and Profile for good measure because those options will not be in settings on the VZW ROMs. Relax, it will be ok.
Step 6: Boot into recovery, do a full wipe like you would any other time flashing a new ROM. Flash the ROM of choice, then flash the Sprint kernel of choice. If you do not get any errors, reboot system and wait...........and wait some more. It will take a few min for either ROM to boot. If you see the Eclipse or Alliance splash screen (boot animation) you are probably ok. Do not panic at the 3 min mark and shut down. Just let it do it's thing. You should eventually see the beginning setup screen. If after 8-10 min you still are seeing the animation it probably is in a bootloop. It may not work but you can simply power down and boot back into recovery and restore your backup, or try again flashing the kernel first, then ROM, then kernel again then boot into system and wait again. Just use some patience.
Step 7: If you made it to this step, congrats, you have booted a VZW ROM onto your Sprint Note 3. But we have more to do. After you set up wifi and gone through the setup menu you may see some Verizon related errors pop up. Just ignore them for now. Those apps can be frozen using TiBu after completely done as a cleanup measure. Boot back into recovery ( On Eclipse you will have to do this using vol up/home/power buttons because there is no 4 way reboot menu. This can be added with Xposed and Wanam later as well). Flash the APN Backup and Restore app ( this could also be done when you flashed the ROM I suppose) and reboot. which will put the APN backup & restore app into your /system/app directory and the SprintAPNxXML file onto your sdcard. Once done installing, boot back up and launch the application, Ignore the warning screen you get from first launch, then press menu and select "Disable ICS check." Once done, exit the app and load it again, then choose "Delete APNs" and select yes to the following prompt. Once done, go ahead and tap Restore APNs, and select the SprintAPNsXML from the prompt and select no to the duplicate check. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK THE FIRST TIME- Move the app from /system/app directory to /system/priv-app/ directory and change permissions to rwx/rwx/rwx and reboot. Then try to Delete APN, then try to Add APNs using the provided SprintAPNxXML file in the app. This will add Sprint APNs.
Step 8: Go into settings/more settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and choose the appropriate one for your area. I chose APN2 LTE Internet n.ispsn. You should now have data icon showing. This worked for me, hopefully it worked for you. I have seen it switch between LTE and 3G so I know it is handing off correctly. Make sure Network Mode is CDMA/LTE/EVDO as well. I haven't tested on the road yet, but will tonight. But it has been working flawlessly for me on local towers.
Step 9: You will need to add Sprint apps you were using, including voicemail. Install Titanium Backup and freeze Verizon related apps if you want. Also you will notice in settings your phone will show to be a N900V instead of N900P due to the Verizon ROM. Don't panic.
Step 10: Profit! At this point you should be able to tinker with the ROMs according to what the threads offer. I know Eclipse has it's own app to customize some things. But Xposed will work as well. I have no idea if Hotspot works or any of that stuff, I do not use it. Alliance has a ton of customization settings and apps built in, including themes. Some minor tweaks haven't worked, but most have. Eclipse has actual AOSP functionality baked in. ENJOY!! I will try to answer as many questions as i can, but again, please DO NOT clog up the threads of those great ROMs with questions, the devs do not, as far as I know, support this method and will not be able to help you with your Sprint device.
EDIT: When you connect to your PC via USB for the first time you may have to toggle MTP on and off to get it to be recognized in Explorer. It will most likely say N900V when you get connected. Also on Alliance a couple of Verizon apps will try to install on your PC. You can cancel them.

MUCH THANKS!!!
Sprint side: Freeza for the APN Backup and Restore app as well as all you have done for the Sprint Note 3!! LMMT for the NC5 kernel thread! Phil3759 for Philz Recovery for the N900P
Verizon Side: Nitroglycerine33 for all he has done for the community. My first attempt at flashing was an Eclipse ROM. Cannot say enough about what he has done! Beanstown106 for the hard work on all the Verizon devices and now along with Team Alliance they continue to dominate!
Multiple Devices: Imoseyon for his great Lean Kernels!! I have run them on every device so far. They just get better and better.
All the devs on all the devices deserve a huge thanks from all of us! Without them none of this would be possible!!
this would be cool to know, and give us more choices at ROM flashing time
Is it me or is XDA running real slow today?? Even on Tapatalk.
Anyway, so far I have SMS, MMS and GPS working smooth. Really was simple. No need to decompile or change the ROM itself. As long as the bootloaders match (4.4.2 to 4.4.2 etc) it works. Thanks to an earlier post by Freeza dealing with APN restore everything works thus far. Really hope Nitro gives me the go ahead to create a thread or at least post a how to with links to his site. If you want real AOSP feel on a TW ROM, Eclipse is the way to go. I ran this all the time on my VZW Note 3.
Also will be trying the same with a couple of other VZW ROMs I once loved as well. Stay tuned. :good:
Looks like I will have to post the How To here anyway so I am testing another VZW ROM now (Alliance) and if all goes well I will add the directions to this thread in the OP.
All the way to Chicago and back with no data issues. Have a hard time believing nobody knew we could do this.

I had no clue! I knew the devices were very similar but figured if it were possible to use VZW ROMs across devices, I'd have started months ago! Thanks for the How To, I'll be giving it a shot this evening. Cheers! :beer:

are you able to get new LTE Bands (4 ,13) so that n900p can operate on verizon network on MVNO?
or are you able to VZW LTE B4 ON/OFF to enable band 4 on?
This sounds awesome! Thank you for posting! I will have to try this out this weekend.
Latest one I tried was vn Rom 7.2 and Norma beta 6 both good.
Sorry these 2 are not Verizon but are for 9005 and they do work.
