Safestrap on i9295 - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would it be possible to get safestrap working on the international version and if so would we then be able to flash roms without needing Odin to get Wi-Fi working? I've tried the other version and it installs and I get the new splash screen but if I press recovery the screen just goes black.

Does international version not have CWM already?

CWM doesn't do the same thing of creating those "slots" that Safestrap does... unless something new has happened with CWM of late since I haven't used it for quite some time personally.

Safestrap seems to offer better functionality than CWM and we have to use Odin to get Wi-Fi working.

There is a thread about this in the General section you might want to check out.

That's concentrating on the AT&T version not the international, I posted in there but no one responded.

I am looking forward to a touch recovery! Let's hope we see it soon...
I've avoided Twrp so far as everything I have read said it isn't stable on atrix HD(i could be wrong).
Though, I would love to try new recovery images...Not sure what the gain would be with an updated CWM, though to try a completely different one would be fun.
Touch isn't that important to me, but I would give it a whirl if the opportunity was there.

The latest can be downloaded from either link. It's the update from the 30th that, I believe, only fixed the font size issue.

TWRP for MB886 (best news I have read)

Hey guys I was chatting with arrrghhh and he told me that he can try whipping TWRP for us if we want it. He even thought we had it since long time. Lol
I will be one for sure to have this recovery even though cwm touch is working great for me. But more options the better for our devices.

That's exciting news ... I use TWRP 2.6 on a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and on my Kindle and it is great. I've always wished to have it for my phone, plus it's reminiscent of those old SafeStrap days.
I'm dreadfully ignorant here...
What exactly is the difference between TWRP and CWM/CWM-Based Recoveries?
ATM this doesn't seem too exciting... (Of course I haven't used TWRP before so that doesn't really help either...)
It have more many options to mess with. But so after testing the first attempt we still have the same offset problems. So this is a work in progress

Basically twrp is like safestrap for a unlocked bootloader.

So it supports multi-ROM or does it not have that functionality from SS3?
No, for my understanding multirom is a modified TWRP or TWRP with the multirom hack. Yes is run through TWRP but we also need the hack to be active on it for it to work. In other words that is a different project

For the ones that don't know, think of TWRP like CWM Touch only with more options and things to do. It has features like a file manager, multi-zip flashing, more ways to manipulate the sd card (partition, file system, etc), custom themes, and more.
this is awesome

I really do not understand? Why does anyone give a TWRP MB886? It is too difficult?
This is probably our best bet

[Q] KitKat Roms in the Dev Section

I have 2 questions about flashing a KitKat rom from the dev section.
1. Will I be able to go back to a Jellybean rom if I want to?
2. Once I have upgraded to a KitKat rom, will I have to use odin everytime I want to flash a mod or can I still use safestrap?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Yes and yes

I have read somewhere or I thought I did at least, that safestrap will not work with kitkat roms because it hasn't been updated yet. I went ahead and flashed X-Note 12 and sure enough safestrap doesn't work.
Now that I can't flash, how do I install mods now????

Anybody tried to put some other ROM? I'm not experienced, just have CWM installed, and ask is there any logic to try? Or maybe just pass

There are no Roms yet. Recovery was just developed this week and its still only viable on 4.2, won't work for kit Kat yet. People are working on things (Roms and possibly updating the recovery at some point) though

Yes. Why are you using safestrap when that is a discontinued method and has been for quite some time with all threads pointing to mythools on the current way to do things?

That tells us nothing. 'A lot of errors' is not a problem that i or anyone else can fix. We need details, error codes/msgs, what the device does, etc.
Lets start there and we'll see what we can do to get you up and running.

Also is there anyway my bootstrap backup can even be recovered at this point it is still on my PC but not compatible with my current custom recovery. It has all of my contacts which I lost during flashing. If its not possible the stock is fine. Thanks for helping me it means a lot.

Custom recoveries can be used to backup/restore stock roms. However, bootstrap/safestrap was discontinued in apr-may 2013 when our bootloader became unlockable. No clue of any safestrap compatibilities. What does mythtools say when you run through the bootloader unlock script?
