Recently flashed the RLS12 Safestrap rom for my GS4, Verizon on MK2. The flashing and install seemed to go smoothly, wiped etc with no problems. Ran through the aroma installer, again, no issues. Flashed the MK2 verizon modules and rebooted. The bios boot sequence came up (pretty sweet BTW) and all seems fine. However, it stops at "Beginning Android Boot sequence" and won't go any further. I've heard rumors of this first boot taking upwards of 10 minutes, but I've tried this 3 times now and let it sit for as long as 35 minutes without any results.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Im having the same issue and I even flashed MJ7 and tried to flash it too. I don't even get to the boot screen I have a black screen but a flawless install up to the reboot. I have flashed plenty of hyperdrive with the correct modules I even tried different versions of hyperdrive. The OP stated compatibility with everything up too MJ7 that's why I went back to MJ7 still no joy when I as originally on MK2.

I would suggest deleting rom slot 1 that you installed it in (assuming) and starting over. This has been reported as helping a bad install.

Did you download the Safestrap specific Rom? There are 2 separate downloads.
Edit: Never mind. Re-read the original post and saw that you did.

I had that problem and I got fixed by downloading the right file.
You need to download the RLS12 Safestrap Rom not the regular RLS12.
The regular one is for MDK TWRP recovery rom so it doesn't boot.

How did you delete it and reflash? I have the exact same issue, and I can't do anything on my phone. I can access the stock boot screen but everything that I have tried there doesn't work. I can also access "Download" mode and thought maybe I should flash again using Odin?? I dunno.....

You delete ROM slots from within SafeStrap. Just activate your stock slot, then go over to whatever slots you have and I usually formatted and then deleted them. Fairly simple. Then try creating a new ROM slot and reflash the ROM and modules.

Well once you get the hang of it , its fairly easy to use SafeStrap. And unless you mess with the stock slot, its really "Safe"
Good luck let me know

UPDATE: Hey buddy - I got it fixed yesterday. It's amazing how much you learn by making mistakes. My first mistake was, as mentioned in an earlier post, I got trigger happy and flashed to my stock rom slot instead of setting up a custom slot (stupid me). Looking back, I can't believe I did that. My second mistake was trying to reflash the incorrect stock rom file using Odin. I finally got the correct one from SamMobile.
Anyone having trouble on galaxy phones should check out rootjunky's youtube posts. He's great!! You have to be careful though because he jumps around on different builds. My only question now is whether or not Hyperdrive is compatible with the MK2. Everything I see is for the MDK and others. Is the build number critical or is it more critical to have the compatible recovery or both? I thought I would ask before I try flashing this rom again. Also, any suggestions on compatible MK2 roms would be great. I'm having trouble finding any.
Thanks,

It's really the most complete and helpful site I think for our phones.
Just remember that since you're on MK2 4.3 that whatever SafeStrap rom you flash must also be based off 4.3 as well, and you will also have to flash MK2 modules zip file as well.
And I'd also like to say for the record since were here.... You're most likely going to want to hold off on the KitKat update from Verizon until there are proven and reliable root methods and SafeStrap is available. .. that is if you want to keep flashing ROMs.
Just my two cents lol

Hi friends,
Specs:
SCH-I545
Android 4.2.2
Baseband: I545VRUAMDK
Build Number: JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK
Rooted
I have a (what seems to be rare) rooted, stock ROM MDK Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean?). Is there a way to update to Kit Kat (and keep root and my MDK status) so I can play with some of the ROMs I see? I know there are ROMs that apply a Kit Kat update (Hyperdrive RLS16 for ex) and I've tried flashing that, but I can't get any other ROMs to stick after that (Like CyanogenMod Nightlies... can't get that to take. What am I doing wrong??), and sadly there's some little glitches in Hyperdrive that are frustrating to me, so sticking with it is not something I want to do at this point.
I feel like I might get burned for asking this but I'm trying to approach this as methodically as possible and I can't seem to find, even with a good amount of searching through the Verizon G S4 forums, a straightforward explanation of how to do this, or if it's even possible. Am I approaching this in the wrong way or asking the wrong questions?? If so, can someone offer a simple explanation of why what I'm asking is not possible, or (more preferably) how I can approach it another way to get my Android Version updated but not lose root or the versatility that comes with managing to maintain my MDK status?
Thank you all for your help!
I'm not too familiar with aosp roms, but hyperdrive was my daily driver before moving on to the note 4. I last updated to hyperdrive rls 18.1 and it had been good to me. Rls 19 is having mixed reviews and never updated my phone to that version because if some minor glitches. I strongly recommend Rls 18.1. I had no issues with my mdk gs4.

What recovery are you using? Clockwork or TWRP? What do you mean by the ROM isn't sticking? Are you getting stuck on a boot screen?
I'm using TWRP and flashed the Google Play Edition ROM which is on 4.4.4 Kitkat with root, I'm still on an MDK bootloader also.
OK, I'll keep that in mind, and thanks for the recommendation.
Any other thoughts on my questions about updating to 4.4.2?
To SkrillaKev - I'm using TWRP. I mean that after I flash Hyperdrive, I'm unable to get any other ROM to flash. It will fail in recovery (Eclipse) or will get stuck on the load screen (as with CynogenMod Nightlies)
I guess an easier question is - Can I flash any custom ROM that is made for 4.4.4 when I'm running 4.2.2??
I'll give the Google Edition ROM a go.

Welp.... I wiped system/cache/dalvik and tried flashing Google Play Edition. got a yellow triangle and the message about having software not approved by Verizon and please report to the nearest Verizon store for bar-code tattooing and sterilization lol
Then I re-wiped sytem/cache/dalvik and tried flashing EclipseTW-S4-v4.0.2-KitKatNC5. Now I'm stuck on a boot screen...
At least when I screw something up I screw it up REALLY good.

No prob... Also I'd let it sit after flashing. You may have to select the correct APN: "Verizon Internet " and change mobile network to "LTE/ CDMA" and reboot. Should stick after that.

Keep MDK!!!! After you flash a ROM. If it gets hung up on boot, hold volume up, home key and power key until the phone resets. Then let it boot up. Don't know why it happens but I have the same problem from time to time and rebooting seems to fix it. I've been using eclipse for 4or5 months now. It's pretty sick

you just have to make sure you have. Loki enabled recovery and you can pretty much flash anything here most of the roms have an MDKprocedure and all the information is still here for the old bootloader it is just not as common so you will have to look and older discussions as in not the first page there are several pages to each one of these sections if you look at the you can read through all the pages..the threads are organized in the latest they have been posted in so all your information is going to be considered old school until you get educated and then you just pop right into the current roms..I still have an s4 MKD 32...I gave to my significant because I refused to send it in on a trade and for my m8 upgrade on edge...btw I prefer phil recovery latest edition go to the phil thread and read toward the end and you'll find a link to his current inside the recovery in settings you can toggle Loki. Just leave it on.then it is just like any other unlocked phone.....and never flashed anything into this phone using ODIN unless its MDK ...or the latest radios... make sure you do your homework on whatever you are going to flash and Odin because it very well could contain a later bootloader and completely screw you. and the great thing is that we and other like us on MDK are the only ones that get to play with anything in the original development section....and in case you didn't know safestrap is for locked bootloaders not uswell technically we are still locked but Loki is the key. And that key only works on MDK bootloader.....and I'm sorry but I used hyperdrive before and the old lady that is now on the latest more than likely your problems with hyperdrive stem from not having flash the kernel properly in the proper recovery and not having the latest radios flashed to your device.

I have two suggestions:
First, make sure you flash the loki-doki.zip RIGHT AFTER you flash a new ROM in your zip queue, just like what was suggested previously.
Second, in case anything goes wrong, you should always have a current NANDROID backup first and this emergency wipe TAR on hand for Odin. There have been 4 separate times, in the span of about a week, that I gave myself the unauthorized software screen, and had to do this. So I would emergency wipe back to stock MDK, re-root, use Rashr to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0, and then I'd restore my NANDROID backup from my sd card. Rashr only works for flashing TWRP because only TWRP in that app is already Loki'd.
I'm still using RSL7 and it works great with no glitches I tried the newest one rsl20 and hated its look and didnt like any off the new features so i went back to RSL7, if you have not tried it you may want to, it is very different from RSL20 and imo way better.
I'm curious now that I have root on OF1 can I use flashfire to install a custom rom? I looked into it and flashfire says samsung write protection. Not sure if I should try to flash CM12.1 or not? I dont want to softbrick my device. I am still looking for a guide on using flashfire with the s4 verizon. Very lil info is available.
My other option is safestrap, but it appears from my below research & attempt the current 3.75 A03 version does not work for OF1. So without custom recovery there is no chance for CM12
See: http://www.themobimag.com/how-to-ins...ung-galaxy-s4/
update this almost works-> http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-ro...are-safestrap/
It does not work because of safestrap see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post56030788
v 3.75 A03 wont work for us because safestrap can not load recovery once installed. Without safestrap we are stuck with touchwiz only roms. I am hoping either safestrap gets another update or we find another method to install custom recovery.
If anyone has any input or ideas please let me know. I have googles the hell out of this to get as far as I have.

Matt.. Will it just not flash or result in a softbrick? What can I flash with flashfire or odin now that I have root? A friend has a 1+1 and I love the CM12 features so really want to get CM12 on my S4. I am completely willing to be a gini pig cuz my phone has nothing on it. I just dont want to get stuck with no options to flash, bricked. I do know how to use odin to recover from a soft brick though.

CM requires a custom recovery, which requires an unlocked bootloader which you will not have unless you are on MDK. It probably would result in a hard brick rather than a soft brick

Flashfire has actually been around for a year now, I used it a while back to update to NK4 and keep root. The roms I know of are stang5litre's and Albe96's, but I don't know if it works on OF1 or not as Ijust flashed it recently and hardbricked
Do NOT flash stang's OC1 rom on OF1
Just flashed Stang's OC1 rom on my freshly rooted OF1 S4, followed all the steps correctly and I guess it hard bricked my phone? How is that even possible?

Sounds like @Matthew M. hard bricked his phone when he flashed "Albe95's S6 Rom Port" and @fischer12345 hard bricked their phone when they flashed @stang5litre's "stang5litre 5.0 edition" rom, so it sounds like NEITHER of those will work for folks on the OF1 bootloader.
I successfully flashed @muniz_ri's "I545_OF1_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM" earlier today (from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545of1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3182544 ) and I installed @arter97's Xposed (version: xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon_requestConcurrentGC.zip; from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463 NOTE: you have to use the "requestConcurrentGC.zip" version, regular version wouldn't flash). Both of those can be flashed with v.24 of @Chainfire's FlashFire Beta (from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433 ).
For now, I'd recommend flashing that rom, xposed, then using the Xposed installer to install @wanam's Wanam Xposed Lollipop (forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61142980&postcount=5296 ). There are SO MANY options to customize your device with just those three installs that you should be busy for awhile.
Maybe others can post other mod's that they've flashed/installed here as well?

I read through the comments about people talking about OF1 roms. I thought since I was still on 5.0.1 that it was okay to flash it through FF. I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555, triple checked everything and flashed the files. When I was back on OC1 (non-MDK using FF), I did use the rom and it worked perfectly. However, I knew it was for OC1 but thought the rom was still compatible for OF1. When the phone prompted to reboot, I saw the blue led light flashing, but a black screen. When i attempted to get into download mode, the light stopped blinking and it was dead. And I was like, how in the world did this rom hard brick my phone? It's not like I flashed an international rom to my phone. Any thoughts?

The JIG did not work for me, not suprising since flashfire flashed a recovery.img when i did the install. Ill just have it JTAG'd

That was the wrong set of instructions man if you look at the top it says before OC1 base. You flashed the update zip which caused your issues. You should have looked at the OC1 instructions for FF right underneath it. But I don't know if that will work either but I know it won't brick your device . @klabit87 is working on a fix. Hold please

Need a rooted of1 user that is willing to make a back up in terminal so @klabit87 can make the fix to try. If your willing to help let me know please
the same goes for the albe rom.
No of1 instructions were posted the oc1 instructions flashed the oc1 firmware which bricked it.
If you hadn't flashed that you would have been ok.
I am very sure the rom would have booted fine if it hadn't been for the firmware zip.
the firmware zip updates the recovery.img so that's why you are not able to get into download mode either.
UPDATE: SOLVED, as of 07 FEB 2016; I needed to find an .MD5-compiled ROM with an NC5 bootloader; my last working bootloader was NC5 and using Odin to flash ROMs with other bootloaders had failed.
My phone has been rooted for over 2 years now and I've run a handful of ROMs, with Hyperdrive probably the most stable of the lot. Last fall I was losing some functionality (bad microphone) and I figured I might as well try a new ROM in case that helped. I install CM 12 and life was okay. I set it to download updates (mistake) and it upgraded me from CM 12 to CM 13. Much as I like the new Marshmallow features, my S4 steadily degraded in function over time, to the point where I stopped making or receiving phone calls.
Last week half of my installed apps disappeared, and attempting to install anything through the Google Play store failed. No clue how that might happen, but I knew it was time to flash a new ROM.
That was when I discovered I could no longer boot into TWRP; it hung on the TEAMWIN logo screen. Then I started getting the Verizon screen claiming it had detected unauthorized software.
Since I could no longer operate the phone, I went ahead and put it into download mode and ran Odin3 v3.10.7 and used that to flash an OC1 ROM, the only one I had that was in .MD5 format.
Now I can't get past a bootloop that leaves me hanging at the Verizon logo screen.
Any thoughts?
What is your bootloader right now? And/or what was it while on Hyperdrive?
Edit: wait....I see where u Odin'd oc1...was it the stock image? If so u may have flashed the oc1 boot.img. If that's the case, I suggest you download FlashFire and read up on it. Because if u were on nc5 or anything before you should be able to ODIN back down. But if u have an oc1 bootloader you're permalocked.
Huh. I tried to respond to this hours ago. Didn't upload, apparently.
Anyhow, thanks for responding. I have not been able to get an .MD5 version of the stock image to flash. The only complete .MD5 I've successfully downloaded is called "I545VRUGOC1_Neutered_Full_Odin.tar.md5". The last ROM running on this device was CyanogenMod 13, which is Android 6 with NC5 kernel.
I'm currently attempting to download "VRUFNC5 Full-Wipe Verizon SCH-I545 4.2.2 562219 Stock Restore.tar.md5" but it is slow going.
As for FlashFire, how could I install it to my phone? I cannot get past the bootloop. Odin seems to be my only option for flashing at this point, right?
Have you tried going to recovery after flashing OC1? maybe there are some leftovers of previous process, if your phone can go into recovery you should try to do some wipes

Great suggestion; unfortunately, TWRP is blocked by the Verizon notice now (the one that tells you Verizon's identified unauthorized software on the phone).
Okay, I'm going to try an NC5.MD5 that I was able to download. Here's hoping it moves this process forward....
I can help you! I have everything! PM me here, or send me a message on hangouts!

You're on the right path. ODIN the nc5 full wipe. And from there you can use Safestrap to flash whatever. But I'm wondering if you've locked the bootloader to oc1 or of1. If that's the case, you can go to sammobile.com and register and sign-in and download any factory image flashable thru ODIN.
The nc5.md5 worked! It's not particularly stable (yet), but at least the phone boots up and seems to work.Thanks to those who took the time to read over the issue and offer suggestions!

Perhaps I am mistaken. I had NC5 the last time I had checked, which was when I installed CM12. Sometime around December or so CM12 upgraded itself to CM13. The only thing I remember having to change was GAPPS, moving that from 5.1 to 6.0.

While I used to troll XDA for ROMs, for CM I'm sure I went to their website and downloaded whatever was current at the time, which was a Lollipop ROM. I used TWRP to install, but I no longer have any of my notes for that install so I couldn't verify any of this, really.

If that's the case then you actually had the mdk bootloader. There is no way to have any cm based rom on nc5.

That's what I was assuming as well. When I had the s3, I was able to install a cm Rom thru Safestrap. Actually the other thread we were in by mohammad.afaneh, he was a dev on the Safestrap for s3 and got it to support a cm Rom, but it didn't have working data signal or Wi-Fi.

So he got kexec working? That would be nice.
Maybe he can provide some insight on this.
I know many others that would love to use cm based roms.
Would be even better if he could get safestrap to work on oc1/of1 bootloaders

I don't think it was kexec. But go to the s3 forums and/or search his afh. We could probably modify it, or figure out exactly what he changed and incorporate it into the SS we have. Depending on what he changed, it may be possible to implement nc5flasher, gain support for AOSP bases (aka get them to boot). But in order to have a fully functional modem/firmware, the kernel would need to be built from source. I do know there is a thread (I think in s4 unified development) on a proof of concept project that will enable insecure modules on locked bootloaders. I could be wrong about the actual forum it's in and exactly what's involved. I believe it can be done, it's just gonna take many minds focused on a common goal with positive intent.
PS. There's a bounty and it would be nice if we could do it.

Just to reduce my ignorance a little, maybe one of you can point out the error in my thinking/memory. I thought NC5 vs MDK vs OC1 was whatever was listed in About Phone as the Baseband Version, right? While my phone was MDK at the time of purchase (July 2013), I changed the baseband a few times while upgrading to newer flavors of Android. My current baseband is I545VRUFNC5, which is what I remember it being last fall as well. Where am I mistaken? Thanks!

Baseband does not equal bootloader.
You can update the baseband no problem but can't update the bootloader without being able to go back.
There is an app that you could use to check your bootloader called samsung phone info I believe our something like that.
Now that we all have unlocked bootloaders with "developer edition conversion" on our Verizon note edge, we got root and everything ...But no roms or that good developer stuff I know there's people out there with the skills required to make this Phone great again...we just gotta find em...in the meantime though...post all the things you know are flash able on our notes, ROMs, kernels ?
you are right
That would be awesome if there was more development for it.

I just flashed that ROM...liked the concept but I honestly wish it didn't have all those extra things that ruin the stock look...like the notification bar and the super low dpi on the home screen, thanks man I'll be trying all sorts of Roms from other threads and update you guys on how it goes
I'm hoping some development happens on this phone too. So much potential for cool ROMs. Anyone want to start a bounty?

reflash your stock tar in odin and go through the bootloader unlock again and try another that way. as long as you can get your phone into download mode it is never really hard bricked.... usually... sometimes....
Hey guys don't want to jump ahead of the gun on this one, but want to let you know I am downloading 4 marshmallow roms that should work on our devices, and tomorrow I am going to load them on my rom machine and see if I can decompile them and get them going for note edge using our boot.img and the custom kernel posted in the marshmallow unlock theead.
I don't promise anything, and I can't upload them when I'm done cause I haven't gotten permission from the original devs, I don't want to waste their time just in case it doesn't work, one of which is completely free of all touch wiz related material and has xposed running on the MM os. Pretty big deal considering how xposed likes to kill samsung devices running 6.0
More info tomorrow after I test it a bit, for now good night all.
I just picked up a mint condition Note Edge (915V). Id like to start working on a ROM for it, but it would be nice to have a base to work with. Anybody have a flashable stock Marshmallow (CPD1) ROM that's 100% untouched (deodexed preferred). Still has all its bloat.
I used to make a ROM this way for the Droid 3, but that was a little easier than it is now. Id like to help out the lacking development for the Note Edge.

Anybody willing to test PAC ROM 6.0.1?
I have been making ROMs for the N915F and N915T, and, by God's grace, they have been working.
I do not own a N915V, so I need some testers, if anyone is willing. Here is a link to download PAC 6.0.1 made for CDMA phones:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/7he853zinf6x3f7
You may need a data fix zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/marshmallow-6-0-1-ports-data-fixes-t3379978
You will need the unlocked bootloader.
I *think* you will need to be on a 5.1.1 bootloader and modem, but you can try on 6.0.1 also. You will need TWRP, preferably 3.0 and later, although cwm may work too, and this may or may not work. I am pretty sure it will boot, because of a tester I am working with, but the more testers the better. I need actual details, like what modem/bootloader you are using, if it did or did not boot, install, work, etc. Screenshots help me visualize what you are talking about. Etc.
If it works, we can make more ROMs.
I can't tonight, but maybe tomorrow. Still testing my next ROM version for my 915V
