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.
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.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Safestrap
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
STABLE v3.65 (JB) / BETA v3.75-B03 (NC2/KK)
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 2.7.1.x (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 (2 on the N3 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for different sizes of /system, /data and /cache partitions. The defaults *SHOULD* be good enough for flashing the stock-based ROMs.
NOTE: The bigger you make these 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
[NEW FOR v3.72+ KK Safestrap] Requirement: busybox. If your stock ROM doesn't have it built-in you need to grab "Busybox" from the Play Store and run the installer.
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
INSTALL VIDEO by DMX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RZIyeUMK-Y&feature=youtube_gdata_player
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?
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
[NEW 2013-12-19]Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
THEN, open a "file explorer" of some sort (even TW "My Files" will work)
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK
Grant SU access
Use the "Install Recovery" button
All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using
KNOWN ISSUES:
[v3.72] Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again. (DEBUGGING THIS AS I GET TIME)
[v3.72] Busybox is now required for the Safestrap APK to work correctly
[v3.72] "Reboot Recovery" doesn't work in the APK
If you don't see files on "Micro SDcard" for some reason try tapping that area and swapping to "Internal Storage" and then back again.
No Aroma installer support. This is due to the stock Note 3 kernel framebuffer. To build a recovery which worked, it needed QCOM patches. So will Aroma.
If you try a .zip file with an Aroma installer, it will most likely just hang.
If you use the "4way reboot" mod, then "Reboot Recovery" button in the Safestrap APK won't work correctly.
NEW TO v3.75:
[ONLY ON NC2 BOOT.IMG] ROM-SLOTs are BACK! (16gb size limit)[/B]
Lots of bugfixes for KK TW builds

As of version 3.75, Safestrap Recovery is now based on TWRP 2.7.1.x. For more on TWRP you can visit their website: http://www.teamw.in/
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.
For the purposes of direct user testing I've established a channel on freenode.net IRC: #safestrap
I'm in the channel mostly all the time, but may not be active for discussion.
Special Thanks To

I tried to back up stock and restore to room slot... I backed up on external SD card. Does the back up have to be on internal? Because I hung at the Verizon screen and had to do battery pull upon reboot.

NOTE: If anyone has any further questions about recoveries on the S3, please note that I have moved on to another device. Sorry!
So you've got your device rooted, and you want to install a custom recovery? Great! Don't just follow any guide you stumble across though, as some of the early recovery packages for the "AT&T" model were actually just copies of the custom Sprint recovery, and then you'll have all sorts of fun trying to install ROMs. ("Status 7" errors anyone? )
I'd like to talk about 4 ways to get the custom recovery of your choice onto your device.
Using mskip's Toolkit CWM [link]
Follow the instructions posted in his thread, and if you have any problems, direct them there as well!
Using ROM Manager CWM [link]
For some reason, ROM Manager doesn't always offer the correct list of devices to flash a recovery for and you won't see the SGS3 (AT&T) in the list. If that happens, force-close the app from Settings > Applications and try again. If this method just won't work for you, move on to option 4.
Using GooManager TWRP [link]
If you've been looking at ROMs, you may have noticed Goo.IM is a popular hosting website for Android developers. It's so popular, in fact, that they have produced an Android app that searches their website for updates for your ROM, and can even install TWRP with only a few simple clicks! Just open up GooManager, tap Menu, and tap "Install OpenRecoveryScript". You will be guided step-by-step from there by the app.
Note: Some people (myself included) have reported issues with this method, where the app claims to have installed the recovery, but when you reboot into recovery mode, nothing has changed. This issue may have been resolved in newer versions; I was able to successfully install TWRP using this method on Sept 26 2012.
Manually via ADB or Terminal Emulator CWM or TWRP [Terminal Emulator link]
If the other options just won't work for you, or if you would rather do an install by hand to ensure you're getting the latest version, read on...
Manually Installing a Recovery
While this may seem difficult, it's really not. Grab a recovery image (these files end in ".img") such as ClockWork Mod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) for your device. Most ROM developers say to use CWM, but they both work equally well.
In our case, we need an image for the Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. Telus, Rogers, Bell, and SaskTel phones are (almost*) the exact same phone as AT&T, if you have one of these devices, you will be installing the AT&T recovery.
Now, transfer the ".img" file you downloaded onto your device. I'd suggest somewhere with a nice short path, like "/sdcard/<file>.img" (you'll thank me later, especially if you're using terminal emulator on the device)
Now, let's back up your existing recovery. If things go wrong, you can use this backup to get back to where you started.
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img
That should have created a "recovery-backup.img" on your phone's internal storage.
Here's the part you've been waiting for: Flashing the new image, which installs it as your recovery system. You do this from either an ADB shell or inside Terminal Emulator.
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/[B]<file>[/B].img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
You're done. Reboot into your new recovery by holding VolUp and Home while you power on your device.
If you need to return to the stock recovery, that IMG can be downloaded here: stock-recovery.img - 10.00 MB
*NOTE: While we're on the topic, let's take a second to talk about what makes the Canadian I747M different from the AT&T I747.
The short version is... The modem. AT&T is using completely different and incompatible modem firmware in their phones when compared with the Canadian models. Rogers, Bell, Telus, and any other Canadian I747M are the same device (Samsung worked some strange voodoo and got all the Canadian carriers to agree on the same hardware!) which means that if Rogers releases a new modem firmware update, a SaskTel user could install it without issue. AT&T modem updates will not work on Canadian models, nor will Canadian updates work on AT&T phones! I've tried it. Trust me. You don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing it.
Please remember to click/stick/lick/kick the "Thanks" button if you found this guide helpful!
How bout a 4th method for TWRP?
This should come in handy for some of the newer users
Well, the other TWRP method assumes that you already have a custom recovery installed to flash the ZIP from... If you've gotten that far already, I don't think you should need me to tell you how to flash a ZIP.
theres also GooManager from the market. its how I installed TWRP just download the app open it hit menu you'll see some options come up hit "install Open Recovery Script" it will ask if your sure hit ok and your done the whole process will take 30secs
Moved to General so new members can post questions
and stuck

There sure is! One of the benefits of manual installation is that you can find exactly what you want to use, and not rely on ROM Manager or other tools to make the decision for you!

I rooted my phone just after I bought it but was holding off on installing recovery due to how many hours I spend at work. Haven't had the time. I was also waiting on clear instructions on doing it manually, as it's easier for me since I'm not home often enough to use my PC and can't use the USB cord at work. Thank you SO much! Worked perfectly!
Edit: Spoke a little too soon. I'm seeing my backup dated 1970....

That's a known issue with any recovery on the SGS3, it seems that the hardware clock cannot be accessed by the recovery no matter which recovery you use.
Did you happen to make a backup of your stock recovery? If so, I'd like to get a copy of it to add to the OP.
Nice HowTo, but the glaring omission is using the GooManager app to flash TWRP.
A lot of people are moving on from the old CWM to "something better".

Then you're skipping a step, or typing something incorrectly. Once DD is done its work, you should get a response saying "Copied 10MB OK" or something similar. If it says that, then the stock recovery no longer exists.

First of all I must say that I take no credit for this recovery whatsoever.
It is a modified TWRP v2.8.1.0 that is posted by @hoangnova over at lgviet.com - Link:http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/lg-g-pro-f240lsk-e988-e980-twrp-recovery-2-8-1-0.33587/
We are now in the early developmental stages of Android L and the last version of TWRP that I could locate here at XDA for the E980 was v2.6xx. I feel that we have a need for the latest version of this recovery now that we are transitioning over to Lollipop. With that said, the following is copied straight from his post over at that site.
TWRP Recovery SELinux support only for the rom install or extract img style set_metadata.
- Works well on all the GPRO and GK: E988, E980, and F220K F240LSK.
- Full SELinux support: That means you have can flash the rom CM 4.4, 5.0 or higher (set_metadata).
- USB-OTG Support
- Support for MTP - can copy the data directly to your phone when you are in Recovery
- Support screenshot of Recovery [hold Power + volume controls]
- Supports backup IMEI (EFS)
- Support Hard reset using hardware keys: Hold the Volume Down + Home and resources.
- Can operate on both 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 (even 5.0)
Installation: The first download listed is a flashable ZIP file that can be flashed through whatever recovery you have installed now. Not recommended if your are running a stock based ROM as it causes a "boot certification error" after flashing. Only use the flashable .zip file if you are already running a custom ROM based on CM source.
For those of you that are running a stock based ROM, please use Flashify to flash any of the three .IMG files that are listed below. Descriptions are in the download links.
Note: If you are running a custom ROM that is based on CM source, yet want to use one of the themed versions below, it is safe to use Flashify to install any of the recovery .IMG files below to your device.
All devs, please feel free to use this as a building block to obtain a reliable TWRP 2.8.1.0 recovery for our E980 device.
UPDATE 12/24/2014: Attachment downloads have been removed and all links are now directed to my 4Shared storage. The account has a 3GB per day / 30GB per month limit so I am hoping that it will be satisfactory for our download needs. If anyone would like to set up a mirror, please feel free to do so and PM me with links that I can add to this post.
UPDATE 12/24/2014 - Part 2: This version of TWRP for our G Pro devices now supports SD card in recovery mode!
Many thanks to @soralz , @culot and @hoangnova for delving into the code and providing us with this excellent recovery for our G Pro devices!
All of the above is assuming that your device has already been rooted and a custom recovery installed via the FreeGee method first. Do not flash anything posted in this thread before obtaining root and installing a custom recovery first!

Awesome! Thanks!
Just wondering... I was using it for a while and does work great. Then, tried to get cyan delta up and running with it today. It seemed to give an error. I then tried it with philz and worked fine.
Is anyone using the two together and experiencing it, or just me?
@hoangnova - Can you shed some light as to why flashing BlissPop v1.1 with this recovery would fail?
By the way, thank you for a recovery that might possibly be modified to work with our device! It seems that it just needs a few bugs ironed out to be fully functional with the E980 for AT&T.
Thanks

Hi guys, I am using the TWRP a while ago and realise this TWRP almost can't flash any ROM on it for ex. CM11 Nightlies. So I made some modifications to this recovery using simple Android Kitchen. By editing it's default.prop. This recovery is simply taken from f310lr (which preventing us from flashing other ROM because it's a LG GX!) more info.
Summary of changes can refer attachments below.
Working:
Everything, except can't mount External SD Card, now you can flash like a boss.
Download
Flashable zip, with the modified recovery and another one is simply the *.img file. Flash with Flashify or similar app.
Extra, TWRP Materialised theme.
It has been modded to fit my taste for welcoming Lollipop, if you want the TWRP theme simply place it to /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ui.zip.
Hopefully we can get the latest version of twrp going. From the change log it looks like the latest has fuller 5.0 features.

Verified by yours truly. I flashed this recovery and used it to flash BlissPop v1.3 with no problems whatsoever. Now if only we can get someone that knows their beans to fix the problem with external SD not mounting.
I installed it on "LG optimus G" TWRP 2.6.3.3 from FreeGee of GooglePlay
Guys now I can install this TWRP 2.8.1.0. Recovery through. I repeat that I TWRP 2.6.3.3.

Optimus G, or Optimus G Pro? Which do you have? If it is a G Pro, yes you can flash this one using the twrp 2.6.3.3 that you installed with FreeGee.

*Only works on custom ROM, if you are on stock you will get boot verification error.
So I can not install on Stock 4.4.2.

From a lengthy dissection of its innards, it looks like it was cobbled together mainly from parts of Nexus 5 and G2 recovery stuffs, and isn't even trying to load the external_sd. There also seems to be several other discrepancies, where its targeting a Nexus 5 or G2, when it should be targeting the almighty G Pro.
Take a look at the '/etc/twrp.fstab' -- it's missing '/external_sd vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 flags=display="Micro SDcard";storage;wipeingui;removable', which I think may be a culprit in the lack of SD.
I've taken my undisciplined hand at fixing these issues, but I can never seem to repack the goddamn thing properly. I got sad skillz.
EDIT: I just noticed when you 'unpackbootimg' it provides all the info to repack properly. Friggin' duh, yo. Testing time! *crosses fingers and legs and black cats*

UPDATE #3 12/19/2014: I have been notified by soralz that when trying to flash the zip file version of this recovery when running a stock ROM, the flash will not process properly and will hand at "boot certification verification." Therefore I am providing a link to the recovery.img that can be installed using Flashify or similar utility.

Okay, got it:
- Open ADB shell while in OP's TWRP 2.8:
Code:
mount -t /system /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
mkdir /external_sd
echo "/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd vfat rw" >> /etc/fstab
mount -t /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd
Now the microSD is mounted at '/external_sd'. It does not show up on your computer when you enable MTP though; and next time recovery loads, those changes will be gone, so you have to do it all over again -- that is until someone bakes a fixed twrp.fstab into a recovery.img and/or flashable zip (my attempts so far go bootloops at the LG logo, every time).

This Omnirom TWRP Recovery and this guide should do fine. You'll have to tinker in the e980 stuff though. You can use the configuration files from OP's version to start with, and then make proper wtih e980 device specifics. This TWRP repo for a Japanese version of the phone holds some solid leads.
It compiled fine for me early this morning, but would not boot. But! After spending many hours since then learning how it really works, I'm certain when I take another crack at it tomorrow that it will be simple to get working. So close, yet so burned out for today.
**Suggested** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW (ROM is also compatible with TWRP).
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
Downloads:
- I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_ROM(MDL)
- I337_OC3_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM(MDL)
Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" setting.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the AT&T splash screen for about 2 - 3 minutes (15 - 20 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional - Enable Native Tethering:
- I337_OC3_TetherAddOn
Kernel:
- Hybridmax-Stock Kernel v2.3 (built-into the ROM) by @[B]Hybridmax[/B]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/18-03-2015-hybridmax-stock-kernel-t3058213
Notes:
1. The ROM will update your Modem and System to OC3 and will auto-loki the kernel.
2. The ROM is also compatible with TWRP. Full-wipe recommended!
3. As of 5/7/2015 no need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Giving it a go. Biggest ROM file I've ever seen.
Is the Hybridmax kernel compatible with i337 as-is, or did you have to change some things?

Installed via TWRP after a full wipe. Sat at the ATT splash screen for a couple minutes, as per the OP.
No issues so far, all my apps are re-downloading right now. Good stuff, thanks.
Went from 4.2.2 [MDL] rooted, TWRP, Goldeneye to this directly! Worked perfectly
If i flash this ROM, will it lock the bootloader? or this bootloader is unlocked so if i dont like it i can just flash a custom firmware back in???
It won't lock. That's the point of this ROM.
Sent from my SGH-I337
Will this ROM work with other variants such as I337M, I337Z, I9505?
Could I install Xposed with this?
Once I hit the lightning bolt it goes to black screen then boots to stock recovery. Running I337UCUEMK2. Did this one instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814?nocache=1 and it worked!
I used KeepRoot method to update to 5.0.1
If I flash this ROM will I be able to flash TWRP and custom AOSP based ROMS
If yes, then how?
Came across an issue where the AUX volume is extremely low. Anyone else seeing this, or know of a fix?

Hello,
About two years ago with the help of this page I was able to ROOT and load a Cyanogenmod ROM on my former Motorola Xoom Tablet. I don't remember how I did it. I just remembered it worked.
I now have a Samsung Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 (SM-T320). Samsung said on its ROM related pages that Android 5 was coming for the SM-T320 in Q3 or Q4 of 2015. Well I am tired of waiting. So I remembered this page and here I am. I do see that a new (non-nightly build) of Lollipop will soon be available. My present Tablet has Android 4.4.2. So you can see why having Android 6 would be nice. My SM-T320 has never been rooted.
I have hunted this page and few others and I have found various threads on how to load a Cyanogenmod ROM. But, they all offer various paths and steps and are not the same. My hope is that some more experienced user can point me to a guide or video that is written like 'How to do XXX for dummies.' Thank you in advance for your help.
6 is Marshmallow not Lollipop. Everything else should be scattered around the forum (especially the CM13 thread) for you to see.
Sent from Google Nexus 6P @ CM13
[WARNING: XDA One have not implemented "mark forum as read" - do not use]
Though no official word (outside a UK Twitter Feed), was ever given. It would seem that the Qualcomm Tab Pro's:
8.4
SM-T320 (Wi-Fi)
SM-T321 (3G)
SM-T325 (LTE)
10.2
SM-T520 (Wi-Fi)
SM-T521 (3G)
SM-T525 (LTE)
Will never be updated past its stock 4.4.2 (KitKat) ROM.
Rooting these Devices is simple enough with Towelroot. But, if you go 'round messing with Custom ROMs, and are Recoveries. Your gonna tripnthe Knox Flag, meaning that you'll never be able to use, or access such Data you might have had there from that Device ever again.
That said it's a fair comp that you probably could care less. But, just note that the Knox Flag will trip if you go though with it, and that you’ll be greeted by such warnings when you cold boot then Device. To the effect of "Kernel is not SELinux enforcing".

There are always going to be slightly different ways to skin a cat. With some differences depending on your personal preferences.
In general, you need to:
1) Root by towelroot or CF Auto-root
2) Install custom recovery. That can be TWRP or CM recovery (or even CWM, but I don't think our device is officially supported). Custom recovery can be installed by Odin, or by app (such as TWRP Manager or Flashify)
3) Put the ROM on the phone (whether you download to the device, or transfer it using a computer) either on internal storage or removable SD card
4) Boot into custom recovery, full wipe (data, Dalvik and cache) then flash the ROM
5) Reboot and drink beer, because you are now on Marshmallow
A more detailed guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8/general/qa-how-to-root-install-custom-recovery-t3087451
Personally, I rooted using CF Auto-Root by process similar to that described in the guide. But I then installed TWRP by Odin as described here (with TWRP downloads): https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytabpro8.4exynoswifi.html
Rooted and used TWRP app to load TWRP
Hello,
I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab PRo 8.4 WIFI. I downloaded the TWP app from the Google Playstore. I downloaded the latest TWRP image. Tablet reboots and the TWRP version 3.0.0-2 loads.
However, GEE where did this APP put the recovery image? I cannot find it. I can't seem to find it on the SD card or Internal storage. Where might this app have put it? If I don't know where it is then how can I install it? YES I did look in the Download folder on the SD card. It is not there. It isn't in the download folder on the internal storage. So, Tablet on boots into recovery mode.
Any help or insight will be appreciated.

1) is unnecessary - flashing TWRP with PC via Odin does not require root.

I don't really get what you want to know, but recovery is a separate partition on the device you can't access normally. After flashing a recovery it gets written into that partition for permanent access. You won't find the recovery image anywhere on your storage.

Try booting into recovery, and see if it boots into TWRP: hold power button until the phone reboots. Once the screen goes dark, and before the Samsung logo screen comes up, hold the vol up (you may have followed a similar process to boot into Download mode and use Odin - except vol down).

"Factory reset" is a bit of a misnomer, all it does is wipe the user data partition. I don't think it will help in this case. Flashing TWRP by Odin should not have put you in a "no boot into OS" condition, and I don't know why that would have happened. But if you can get into TWRP, you can flash a ROM (put the ROM zip on the phone by adb push or copy to removable SD card) and get the phone back up and running.

Thanks.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Snapdragon)
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 v4.09-B01 [Nougat:7.0]
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
APK install:
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application, 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.
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?
APK:
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Open your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK, Grant SU access, Use the "Install Recovery" button.
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.

Just to clarify, when I downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0 to obtain root, boot the rooted ROM then
install busybox and safestrap.apk before reflashing Oreo and that will run alongside Rooted QL1 in a second ROM slot under safestrap?? I apologise if I misread instructions, it's been a while as I haven't used safestrap since my s3 years ago
Edit: just saw the ROM slots not working, and the new Oreo modified thread. Lol

install busybox and safestrap.apk before reflashing Oreo and that will run alongside Rooted QL1 in a second ROM slot under safestrap?? I apologise if I misread instructions, it's been a while as I haven't used safestrap since my s3 years ago
Edit: just saw the ROM slots not working, and the new Oreo modified thread. Lol

thank you.
@afaneh92 Do you have sources for this recovery? As in how did you get it to work with android 7 when safestrap support ended in KK. I'd like to boot it on LP+.

Here its
https://github.com/mohammad92/android_bootable_recovery-safestrap
We have permissive root on S8, S8+ and Note 8 thats why its working on 7.0+
Would this allow us to flash magisk? Or a custom kernel?

Thank you. So as long as you can get root and make the selinux permissive it should work?

Could a Dev make a DT and possibly build a rom with this new freedom to flash things? Cause as far as I know all you need is a DT and a way to compile and you should be fine right? Or will the whole no custom kernel thing prevent that.
Would I be able to install this on Nougat, and then update to Oreo and keep it installed?
Then from there add a Nougat ROM with root so that I could update it and use my root stuff.
This is awesome! Recovery is working great so far! Pls let me know of any roms working with this method I can't wait to try it out!
