*** DISCLAIMER ***
I work on projects that may brick your device. Don't sue me, hate me or try and kill my dog if that happens. I will feel bad the community will feel bad and hopefully we'll find a way to get you going again. But, the very nature of my projects involves a certain amount of risk taken by YOU. And by using the projects that I work on, you've accepted that fact.
CURRENTLY THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
THANK YOU @BeansTown106 FOR HELPING ME DEBUG THIS
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
v3.71: Testing
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.1.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (3-4 on the S3 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
For more information you can read up here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
Download the Safestrap APK
Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".
(If updating from an existing Safestrap you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the "Yes" equivalent to this message.)
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
That's it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3.x
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press under the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting.
By "under", I mean on the touch key portion of the front display on either side of the center button.

WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

This may sound weird, but I prefer having the option of a sort of dual boot, having one safe system that always works, and one for aosp nighties and tinkering. I have an unlocked bootloader, and don't want that to change, can I use safestrap?

Yes, but it's pretty unsupported. And I may need to take a look at the AOSP ramdisk to make sure I re-route internal storage correctly.
NOTE: all ROMs must use the same kernel.

If 4.3 is on my stock partition do I need to get kernel modules installed, or is that only when moving between versions?

Beans sent me the ML1 modules and they are now available in the "Downloads" section as a 2nd flash.zip for when you install ROMs to rom-slots.

u will need to install the kernel module package as any tw 4.3 roms out now use a custom kernel and have the wrong modules for the stock kernel. i just sent them to hash so he should have in OP soon

@Hashcode - This isn't a request, only a "just curious" question.
if you use TWRP and goo manager, you can 'flash a rom' from goo manager, select the order to be flashed and decide if you want to wipe cache or not. press go and it will reboot the phone, start TWRP and carry out your request (I'm sure your familiar with this, i just wanted to be clear in my question) Is this something that would work with safestrap based on TWRP or is it a no-go since Safestrap is invovled?
Thanks

If i decide to go through with this can I still access the untouched system? Or will I be stuck on one of the 3-4 slots until I Odin Back to full stock?

[RECOVERY] CWM 6.x - i9500 Ex#2

Hey, I bring to you, Clockworkmod Recovery or commonly known as CWM for your beloved i9500 (S4). Giving your device the ability to flash your favourite custom ROMs, Kernels, Mods in the future. Thankyou to 'as i9000' for giving me the stock recovery and stock boot.img. As you can see, it works:

Put a scare in you didn't I?
I have provided CWM and the stock recovery if you encounter any issues, you can always flash back. It is Odin flashable.

Thank you. I have always preferred to use CWM for custom recovery. By chance, are you planning to release a i9505 version of CWM. I'm sure one will surface as soon as the official phone release or as soon as the forum splits, but I thought I would ask just in case. Again, thank you.

TWRP is opensource. Technically, SGS4 is not much different from SGS3 (from TWRP point of view). So, it won't be a problem to compile for those who already has SGS4 and has experience with compilation.

I dont think so. I have compiled twrp before many times and it has never worked like that for me. A device tree needs to be set up for the i9500 which im working on to compile twrp (maybe im wrong here)
CWM works flawlessly
If any i9505 user or Korean galaxy s4 user reads this. Please post your devices stock recovery.img and stock boot.img. so thst I can provide CWM for you as well
Experimental #2 released. Now more reliable with backup / restore

Only very basic device setup required for TWRP. Can try some existing device with the same display resolution and then tweak some parameters.
I will try it by myself when i will get SGS4.

I have setup the tree for both building source roms and twrp recovery. Tho, the device tree for roms is incomplete, you can find it here: https://github.com/emwno/android_device_samsung_ja3g . And as for the twrp, I cant build it as ill need to sync source code again. (wiped some directories accidentally)
who have galaxy S4 ???

For SGSIII i build just TWRP binary, not whole recovery image. I like to make my own custom ramfs. I don't use exfat_fuse. I use native samsung kernel modules with simple modification of TWRP to let it think it uses FAT volume. Also i use sdcard binary to mount /sdcard as it mounted in android to avoid files access rights mess. That's why i get only TWRP binary linked statically (instead of dynamically).
I use CM9 source tree. When i got first patches for SGSIII TWRP - they were for CM9. So I continue to use CM9 since there are absolutely no reason to switch to CM10.x in terms of recovery building.
Because my recovery requires some amount of manual work and many tries, i cannot make it without having device in hands. So, i will wait for SGS4.
If there won't be SGS4 tree in CM, then i'm going to use SGSIII's one with adjusted resolution. Everything else should be the same as in SGSIII, IMHO.

I should have thought of that. ... anyways I set up one with the twrp flags. Tried building on a 32bit system but failed to do so. If you want, I can send you everything you will need
Will it support extfat?
Because if extfat is the default file system on a S4,there is no point without it.
... And don't give me no license BS. M$ already got my cash when I put my 649€ on the electronic stores counter.

Tab 2 will only boot to CWM

So we were trying to update my friend's Tab 2 to a 4.4.2 ROM. We got CWM 6.0.2.3 installed, and tried a ROM. Well this failed, and appeared to break other stuff as it now boot loops to CWM. Actually I think it's going every other book to CWM. Right now it's saying battery depleated. I've got it plugged intoa charger, hopefully it'll take a charge.
I did later realize we weren't using a new enough version of CWM, but regardless, any ideas how to recover from this? It does not appear to be able to go into download mode. It only goes to CWM. I've tried flashing other ROMs but that doesn't seem to be working either.
So...kinda stuck for the moment.
Thanks!

We have a winner... the next one who didn't pay any attention - i.e. reading the OP post of the ROM thread.
ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.x.y is ONLY for flashing CyanogenMod up to 10.1.3.
For flashing OMNI ROM or CyanogenMod 11 (both Android 4.4.2 at the time of writing) you _NEED_ to use TWRP (recommended for OMNI) or PhilzTouch Advanced Recovery or ClockworkMod Swipe Edition (recommended for CM11). See AndroidAndi's file repository to obtain a copy of the correct recovery for your particular model of the Tab 2.
Next thing to do: Download and install ODIN, install the "Samsung USB Drivers" (Google's your buddy), download the .tar.md5 of the recovery you want to flash (see above and make a choice), put the tablet into download mode, flash the recovery.
If that worked flash the custom ROM of choice (+gapps if CM11, +SuperSU if OMNI) through the custom recovery you just installed and be glad you didn't turn the tablet of your friend into a paperweight.

Speaking of not reading OPs and paying attention...I already said I realized that was the issue, and that I can't seem to get it to go into download mode, so that's likely paperweight land?

If you're down to "can't get it into download mode anymore" (I start to assume the attempt to flash some 4.4.2 ROM through CWM 6.0.x.x may overwrite partitions it's not supposed to overwrite) the only way left to breathe life back into the tablet is to resort to JTAG (UART port connection, CASUAL restoration package, USB Jig to force the tablet into UART mode).
If you search on XDA you will discover tons of threads by AdamOutler dealing with that topic, maybe that's useful to you in any way to figure out if that's an option for you.
Does it stay in CWM once it boots? If so you can copy a TWRP 2.7.0.x zip file to your SD card and install it from there.

hi i got a p5100 device that runs on stock jellybean 4.1.2 and i would just like to know the following
1. Is my bootloader JB since my devices now is updated to 4.1.2 via OTA??
2. Given that my bootloader is not JB do i still need to unlock it to flash custom roms without problems?
3. Does the device region have a significant issue regarding flashing customs roms (omni / cyanogenmod ) ? ... like it might not worth to this specific device though is P5100 but from this region/CSC/PDA etc.. (well samsung does have a couple of devices with different codes )
4. Is there a way to root without using PC?
-- Im not new to rooting and flashing roms, i have done it to my phone which is 2.3.5 GB device not samsung though so i didnt have problems regarding different versions and stuff cause they are all the same....
Hope anyone could help me out i want to flash a custom rom to my tab with less casualties and i want to make sure that i do right to avoid total brick
1. Yes, you now have JB Bootloader
2. We do not need to unlock our bootloader, it is not locked.
4. No, but you don't need root, you need a custom recovery to flash a custom rom. You can flash a custom recovery using odin or heimdall.

This was unanswered: if you're rooted, you can backup your modem somewhere on your storage with any root file browser. It is also very easy to replace modem same way. Just don't forget to set the permissions.
IDK if the builds are replacing the modem, I doubt it. I use P5110 so no idea about P5100 builds.

TWRP system wipe - How long?
Hi guys,
Not sure where this is being posted because it's a redirect due to this being my first post.
I'm doing the first wipe on Samsung GT-P5113 using TWRP 2.8.3.0 (OpenRecovery) specified for this device and I'm not sure that it's not hung. The status/progress bar is active but has shown zero progress in over an hour. Just Wiping Partition(s) at the top and this:
Code:
Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Wiping data without wiping /data/media ...
Done.
The candy cane progress is spiraling black and white.
the 4gb nandroid took 662 seconds so this seems off.
Thanks.
The issue with freezed progressbar got reported in a german forum too. Go back to 2.8.1.0 until it got fixed, maybe @Dees_Troy can take a look on it because you are using the official TWRP.
Send from OnePlus One using Tapatalk
Ah.. thanks,
Yep.. not a problem, just stuck. Most recent Omni nightly up and running now.
I just downloaded the TWRP from the OmniRom thread 2.8.1.0 but I have only used Odin for custom recovery install and couldn't use that because it's not a tarball (or any other format Odin would recognize). How do you install that?
You can use the Odin flashable *.tar.md5 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655050457
Or flash the recovery flashable zip in recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655050456

Done and running. I guess I had the flashable zip but didn't realize I could flash it in recovery. Didn't realize I could flash TWRP with TWRP. Excellent.
Thanks for the help Andi with this AND with getting the bloat off my baby... this looks GREAT

Just wanted to say thanks for the great work. Love the boot animation, the ROM seems buttery and works great. My only concern is my battery life has dropped since switching from CM 11 to your ROM. Other than that I love it.

I've been running it for two days now and haven't had a problem yet. Good work. Can't wait for further development. Couple of questions though, have you been able to set SELinux to permissive? And you said this is a insecure boot.img, what's the advantage of that? I'm still trying to understand the purpose of an insecure boot.img.

It's permissive. Notice the red text upon booting up it SECANDROID NOT ENFORCING SO I THINK IT'S PERMISSIVE.

Instructions for flashable zip. Wipe everything except internal storage and Micro Sd. Backup your Rom first than after flash restore only data , modem and efs. Thank you and Credits to Super R's Android kitchen which provides options for stock Roms until a custom one is made. Credits to [email protected]

The above method is if you want to keep your data that was backed up. The Rom can be flashed and setup as a new device.
Don't forget to hit the Thanks button.
DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP.

I took some Google apps out and METRO apps. I left the device unlock app and mymetro. I am going to take @sandix back up and run it through the kitchen. Than after upload you will have to wait for him to release it since it is his work.
Anything issues to report? I finally finished setting up my build environment using Ubuntu 16 so I am going to see if I can get a custom build going.
Currently running the rom, it's going pretty well.
Kinda sad that the kernel doesn't make SELinux permissive but I guess I can live with it.
UPDATE: Scratch that, the phone completely refuses to boot after install xposed + modules.

What version of xposed did you use? You need the one for Samsung devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
This should help you out. Be mindful that it takes a long time to boot up.

Same one I've used since I first setup this phone. I rebooted after enabling the modules and took a quick nap. Phone was still at the metro pcs part of the boot.

I would suggest that you reflash and don't use the last xposed modules you enable as that maybe what is keeping the phone from booting up.
If a problem occurs from the Rom zip itself please let me know so I can address the issue and if you figure out a fix let me know. [email protected]

[RECOVERY LOCKED][N920V] Safestrap Recovery v4.08 B01 [Mar 27, 2019]

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 N920V (nobleltevzw)
PLEASE READ READ READENTIRE OP
"ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
BETA v4.08-B01
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 3.2.1 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
Flashable zip:
Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
Flashable zip:
Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again.

Interesting. I also noticed in the instructions that it says your device must be rooted in order to use safestrap. Is there a root for this phone that I am unaware of?
Also, I appreciate you and Hashcode's work on this project, but what is the purpose of this if there is no root and no roms?

You can get full root on combination via wondershare app.
Old 5.1.1 also can have full root.
Hmmm. I have never heard of using Wondershare. The site looks sketchy, can you go more into detail for me? I'm also running nougat.
Also will their be ROMs soon?
Could I use existing ROMs that are on the general Note 5 forum?

No ROMs for now, You are on U3 bootloader if you got root it will be temporary. U2 can permenant root 5.1.1 without combo.

I presume this only works on 6.0 and lower? It also just bootloops my phone on Android 7.0.
I can confirm that this is working as described. I flashed the combination firmware, rooted with wondershare, flashed safestrap via flashfire then flashed the ROM that this developer posted. What I have is a functional, rooted 5.1.1. I would love to have newer firmware, but I don't know what is possible.
Hello Reverse-anastomosis,
Where do you find the combination firmware?

That's a great question. I'm pretty sure I got it from some sketchy site that turned up in a google search. My theory on it was even if it was infected with something malicious, which I know has been a concern in the past, that it didn't matter because I really wasn't spending much time with the ROM booted, and I doubt there is anything tampered pre ROM, as we would have known about an exploit like that. So it might not fit your uses, my use was purely experimental and I didn't care if the device was compromised. All that being said I'll be glad to shoot you a link what I have if you're interested.

That would be great, I would really appreciate it. My purpose is exactly the same, for experimentation.

Hello @reverse_anastomosis do you find that there's issues with the WIFI password being forgotten after a reboot and the fingerprint sensor does not work? I'm gonna do a full clean wipe to see if it's still an issue.
