* Bring Your Own Device modded ROM question * - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I'm forced to surrender my work blackberry and bring my own device. So I got me a Note 2 and gave the S3 to my wife.
The catch and question:
The phone needs to be bone stock in order for the Good Enterprise app to work. If the device is rooted or otherwise tampered with the app will fail to load according to Good, it does some security check.
Of course I rooted the Note 2 the minute I got it in order to do some tweaks and stuff. I also unrooted it and as far as I can the ROM appears to be untouched.
However: the ota 'software update' function (in settings-about) no longer runs. It starts but than hangs forever.
To check I flashed a stock ROM (without root ) and than 'software update' runs fine. As soon as I root (CF-Auto-Root) and unroot (supersu-remove root) the updater hangs again. Without making any mods, just root/unroot.
Anybody any idea what causes this?

No, done that. Checked in download mode too, counter is zero, status is original.

usb jigs are on the way and out for international on ebay.
They are still working on SGS3 ? they wasnt on SGS2 after bootloader upgrade and was stopped working on NOTE after bootloader update, so how come they work on new H/W like SGS3? maybe some other version of JIG ? send me the link

I used my JIG I had for my Vibrant to get into Download mode and it works great. It is the one that came from Mobiletech videos.

I believe the JIG being referenced is used to reset binary counter... not to just enter download mode.
My Vibrant jig worked fine to get my GS3 into download mode. However, in reading up on the subject, it appears that Samsung has installed a different counter in the GS3 and the counter will still trip even when using a jig.
thanks for this
I couldnt find a general discusion area so im going to ask in here.
I just got my GS3 yesterday so it is stock. How in the hell do you get rid of the voicemail icon in the notification bar? I have no voicemails and it wont swipe away. If there is a better place to ask, ill post this there but i didnt see a good place.
Used this to go back to stock. ODIN finished successfully but now I have no Data. All else is well. Phone works fine just no data. Any Ideas?
EDIT:
Looks like a data outage simultaneously as I ODIN'd....what are the odds. However, This did not wipe my data at all.......which is bizarre for ODIN.......is there a new partition scheme on this phone or something?

Wrong place to ask, but the answer is leave yourself a message. Check your messages and delete them.
What's the difference between this and t999uvlem that's on my phone now?

HOw do I use Odin to Flash this?
I am a little unclear on how to flash this in Odin
Do all three files get flashed simultaneously? Which files go in which slots?
I am sure the Firmware file goes in the PDA slot - does the Kernel go in PHone?
which file does the Torrent file go into? I am desperate - my phone is bricked after attempting to odin the wrong file originally - I can get into download mode fine but am not sure exactly how to flash these three files in ODIN - and I didn't see any description in the thread -
Your help is GREATLY Appreciated.
Actually - when I tried to put the Firmware in ODIN - It did not recognize the ZIP that I downloaded - when I open the zip file, it has a TAR File inside which I am sure Odin could recognize - but there is a DLL file there too??
Really confused and need help.
EDIT - I struggled with getting this to work on my phone - the downoad file was confusing because the ZIP containted a DLL File and the ZIP - I am not a dev so this led me to believe both files were needed - in any event, I tried flashing this in odin four times - the first four failed every time - they took forever to flash - and after about ten minutes failed. The Fourth and Final Flash - took as long as the previous three - but it finally went all the way and "PASSED" - I have never been so pleased to see "Green Pass" showing the file had flashed successfully. The only thing that different in all of the different flashing attempts was the cord I used - After failing three times - and reading that others had flashed htis successfully - I figured it was worth another shot - and on a whim I tried a different cord - the last flash took as long as the previous three - but finally it did finsh and I was able to finally boot my phone - there is nothing more frustrating and scary than when something like this happens and there is no clear path back to 'normalcy" - anyway - i am rambling - but happy that I fixed my phone - whew!

I flashed stock firmware and have lost data. All I get is EDGE now.
Not happy.
This is stock firmware for your phone, so any issues you should report to tmobile

Your Device Has Been Modified

Hello, hope I'm doing this right. Tried searching forum for similar issues but no luck. Here goes.
I own the T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy Note 2. It is stock, never rooted but I am getting this strange message when I attempt to check for new software updates under "about device." The message is "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available. " This happened once before but solved it with a factory reset. Any idea what's causing it? No new apps installed that I can think of. Would appreciate any advice.

something is triggering android into thinking you modified it. since you aren't rooted, I can't really think of a way to fix this... unless you root.
This means that the device has been modded, like custom recovery, etc. Either you rooted it at one time or someone owned this device rooted it with a custom recovering. If you just got this device from T-Mobile then return to them and let them know that you got it this way. Bad form for a store or carrier to repackage a return (even reseal) and resale it, but it does happened.
Otherwise you need flash a root version, best use stock root injection version of rooted rom, into the device. Check to see if you have the stock recovery. If not then flash stock recovery. Now use Triangle Away to reset "Custom Binary" to 1. Once you do that then flash the stock rom unroot version (this will unroot the device). Then do a factory reset to get rid of anything left from root. After that then you will have "Normal" as your "Device Status" and can successfully check for updates.
Note - You will never get the "Custom Binary" back to "no". So if you need repair or replacement from Samsung you may have to pay for it (this depends on the tech working on your device). But with the T-Mobile Protection Bundle insurance ($7.99 per month) you may get around this problem. In returning to T-Mobile they seem to only check the "Device Status". So after resetting the "Custom Binary" to 1 you should be able to return to T-Mobile for repair or replacement under that insurance or your grace time (14 days or CA 30 days) with no problem. This getting around the Samsung's returning issues.
Note - I like the injection version of rooting. The injection version of rooting doesn't trigger the "Custom Binary". This solving this problem from the start. At least for the moment.
Go to menu-settings-about device-status
Scroll all the way to the bottom. It will tell you under device status whether your device is modified or not.
If it's modified then only thing you can do is Odin back the original Samsung Rom. You should do the triangle away thing first to reset the mod counter to "0"

Actually it doesn't reset the "Custom Binary" counter to "0" or "no". This only resets the "Custom Binary" counter to "1".
But it does reset the "Device Status" to "Normal". And allows you to successfully check for updates.

Only if you have a custom recovery. If you have factory recovery on a factory rom it will reset to 0 if you use triangle away. Which is kind of a moot point since he says its never been rooted, therefore there should be no way a custom binary reading of anything higher than 0.
Thanks for your replies. Strange thing is that I've never rooted this particular device. Also, the factory reset fixes it temporarily. Could it be something in my micro sd card that I transferred from my previous device which was rooted?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
If you have a sdcard in there, then that is the reason. Boot up without the sdcard and the status will say normal.

Turn off phone, take out the sdcard. Turn on phone. Check status, should say Normal again. This is for those with no root/custom recovery or for those rooted with the injected rom.
ClockWorkMod sometimes likes to use SD Card to put some files. It is weird. But this "Custom Binary" counter thing would "Modify" you if you have some root files, including SuperUser, SuperSU, ClockWorkMod, BusyBox, etc. These files can be anywhere including SD card. I find this weird because I don't have this problem with SuperSU, SuperSU Pro and BusyBox. But for some reason this comes up with some people.
Here is an idea. Copy all files into its own folder in your computer. After that then delete all files and folders within your SD card. Then copy whatever files you like to have with your Galaxy Note 2 back into your SD card. Then try your SD card with your Galaxy Note 2.
Personally I feel that it is not the place of the manufacturer to stop rooting on Open Source and Google encouraging rooting Android Devices. If you don't want to fix my rooting mess, then you can refuse to fix it. But doing things like this is only causing more problems with my rooting than ir would if you didn't do this. Mind you that T-Mobile don't care if we root, they just don't want to fix it. So this is not T-Mobile issue. This is Samsung issue. That speaking to manufacturers.

I've actually rooted the stock T-Mobile Note 2 as well and used Triangle-Away and my counter was reset but my status is still "Modified" :laugh: I don't mind, though... once you root your first phone, you root everything anyways! Just waiting for a good ROM...
Your device has been modified
I didn't root my galaxy s3. In my country, Indonesia, i don't know 4.1.2 version will come. i just check to software update and it said your device has been modified. i tried take off sd card things, it didn't work. any solution that can change back to normal?

You need a stock kernel and a factory reset to get back to normal.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
You can remove "modified" and reset the flash counter to zero with a jig (and I thought triangle away was supposed to as well), because I've done it on my SGH-T889 Note 2. You have to Odin back to non rooted stock with stock recovery, remove your external sd card, go into download mode, then plug in the jig and Bob's your Uncle it's reset. I'm not sure why someone said you can never reset the custom binary to no because you definitely can.

I set mine back to zero by Odining mrRobinson's root66 to get stock recovery. Then while stock rooted I used Triangle Away to reset the counter. After that a factory reset gets me back to status normal. Seemed to work when I did it. Maybe I don't know what I saw as I'm new to Samsung devices.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what you saw because it's definitely doable. If you have the time and know how, I'd definitely suggest building a jig for your phone, because according to Chainfire it's actually a lot safer than using Triangle Away. It's way easier to build one than most people think, and it literally only costs a couple of bucks at Radio Shack for everything you need. I made one for a friend of mine and wound up keeping it, and I'm really glad I did now that I have a Samsung phone.

I too had this issue last month, I brought my Note II from T-Mobile store, it was sealed and it used to show device status as Normal.
I never rooted or flashed any ROM. I did install/uninstall lots of games/applications and I did disable Amazon app.
Earlier this month I checked my phone and it was showing as Modified, I then reset to factory defaults and now everything looks okay.
I do use external memory card but it only has few media files.
How did the device status change then ?
I am new to Android and rooting and can make the following guesses.
1) Maybe one of the applications I had installed rooted my phone or modified some files via Exynos Abuse (discovered this week) and which is why my device was showing modified.
But again if my phone was rooted, why this device status is Normal ? I was able to update my phone with the OTA released today.
2) Applications like Antivirus or Task Killers have almost full access and maybe they modified some system files.
Like I said I am new to Android so just making guesses hoping experts can shed some light on this.
Wanting to go back to stock, but afraid to do so. Im on jedi x7, rooted, no custom kernal and with two addons from goodybag. I have dowloaded the tar to go back to stock. I've also downloaded triangle away. Im wanting to boot into TWRP recovery, do a wipe/Factory reset, reboot start triangle away and reset counter then use odin and return back to stock. My counter shows 1 on download mode. Would this be the right way to go and resetting the counter back to 0 without any issues? Thanx.

Inaccurate battery reading since 4.1.2?

Ever since I updated my phone to 4.1.2 it's been displaying the battery weird. I just took it off the charger at 100%, used it for about 5 minutes time and the battery is already on 95%... Then I reboot it, and it goes back to 100%. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?
It is not rooted or anything. 100% stock flashed through kies and left that way.

No expert but when restarting, it will giva a false battery but drains quickly to the exact amount of battery. Try discharging your phone until it's dead then full charge it while powered off.

No once it's restarted it seems to drain as normal. And I did that last night but it didn't seem to help because it's doing it again.
I don't know why but for some reason I just decided to go back to 4.1.1 and it works fine now. There's some serious issues in 4.1.2 that I think Samsung needs to look at. The whole reason of me getting this note 2 was to have an awesome battery life, but it was dying faster then my old note 1. Some days with barely any use I was charging my phone during the day which never happened before.
is it safe to revert back to 4.1.1 from 4.1.2 using odin and correct stock firmware for the device? and my unit is not rooted. just a stock recovery only.

You must be rooted first to do it... Unless using a PC but this is the easiest way...
Download the correct firmware for your phone (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/)
Install MobileOdin (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...din.pro&hl=en_
Copy the tar.md5 file to your external sd card
Open Mobile Odin and flash the stock rom. It even has an option to root it without effecting the status. My phone is rooted but it still says official. Then use TriangleAway to reset the counter to 0 and you're good to go.

You can use odin but if you want to use mobile odin you need to be rooted. I found that way to be easiest since it injects root into the rom while flashing and leaves your status unchanged. To go back to stock after that simple open supersu and press unroot.

Exactly what I DIDN'T want to happen....

So I've had the S4 for 1 month now and at first I really didn't want to root or change the ROM. I actually like the TW interface and think it's great as it is. I've been rooting and changing ROMs going back to the MyTouch, but for some reason the S4 had me worried. I debated over and over about doing it, but after getting tired of the bloatware, constant ads being displayed and wanting to stop the horrible startup/shutdown music, the time came for me to root it.
So, after pouring over many hours of reading and deciding the method, I went with the Chainfire route. I chose this because from what I read (and this may have been where I misunderstood something??), if I ONLY root the phone, don't install a custom recovery then I will still be able to receive OTAs (when and IF they come from TMO). So after a couple of heart-stopping moments at 2am last night with about 4 ODIN fails, I finally got it rooted. Turns out, the USB cable I was using might have been the problem. I went out to the car and got the original cable that came with the phone and it worked on the first try with that. I thought for sure I had hard bricked the phone when it came up with an error message at startup regarding a firmware problem.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, after doing the rooting, I checked the update option in settings and it's telling me the phone has been modified and is unable to receive updates. I then ran the triangle away program to reset the binary counter back to Samsung Official/Official, which it's reporting now instead of Custom, but then checking the updater it still reports the same thing. This is what I didn't want to have happen!
Any suggestions on how to rectify this or have I crossed that line and might as well just go ahead and put a recovery on there and do a backup and leave it at that until the day comes I decide to slap a custom ROM on it?
Thanks for letting me rant, but I would like some assistance if possible.

If you've reset your binary counter and have modified nothing else, just unroot and you should be able to receive updates again.

[Q] P605 Towelroot, then Titanium Backup, now my Statusbar & Task Manager are gone

[Q] P605 Towelroot, then Titanium Backup, now my Statusbar & Task Manager are gone
Hello Guys,
i couldn't find anything specific in the forum yet. I really hope you can help me and i can explain it right (i'm from germany)
I successfully rooted my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE with Towelroot yesterday. I was super happy, Knox was still 0x0 and Status perfectly official.
I just wanted to install some apps that needed rootaccess and kick some bloatware off the device.
So today i installed Titanium Backup and even before i backupped everything, i wanted to get rid of "ChatOn", Businesweek+" and "NY Times". While i was at it, i also removed "Samsung Galaxy App purchase" (sth like that?). I thougt it was the one, that gets you into Samsung App Market, just to show you some cool apps for the galaxy phones?
And that was it. I wanted to freeze the rest with greenify.
Just when i searched for it a few minutes later, i realised that my statusbar was completely gone. Nothing happening when i try to get it down with my finger, its just gone.
Same thing with the task manager, i can press the home button twice, and theres samsung voice but if i hold it pressed longer, no task manager shows anymore.
After i found one Person with the same problem online (no solution) i also checked for incoming calls. They are not shown on the display anymore when the call is happening.
Long story short, i guess it must have happened when i deleted stuff with titanium backup (without backing up anything, so stupid, i know...)
Because everything was fine yesterday and all morning.
What is the best way to solve this?
Flash the original Firmware via Odin? What would that do to my Counter? Flash something else? I never planned to do any of this so that is where i get a little scared. What happens, when i try to connect the device to Kies?
Or should i rather unroot the device and try to get a new one? (I basically bought an extra insurance, so i technically even get a new one, when the displays broken etc.)
Oh and i've already did the cache wipe in recovery mode an multible reboots.
I know it must be so annoying to have people do something without obviously knowing exactly and then ask about it on the internet ...
but i would be so happy if you could give me any hint what to do.
And again, sorry for my english!
Why don't you try to flash the same stock ROM as the one you have with Odin ?
I think this would put the things back to square.:fingers-crossed:
You can find the stock ROM's here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or here http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-P605
Then restart the procedure of rooting, debloating but make a backup with Titanium backup first.

Okay, thank you very much for your answer! Then i guess i'll just try it with Odin now. Thank you very much for the links, i've already found the firmware (P605XXUCNF2)
Does it matter, which version of Odin i'm using? And i'm still not sure if this sets my knox Counter from 0x0 to 0x1 if it's a stock firmware?
For anyone elses information: I did a factory reset today and the problem is still there, together with the background staying completely black now and a constant message "KeyguardTestActivity has stopped" popping up every second.
I really hope flashing the stock ROM sets everything back to normal.
Thank you so much for your help!

Okay, thank you very much for your answer! Then i guess i'll just try it with Odin now. Thank you very much for the links, i've already found the firmware (P605XXUCNF2)

No risk at all to trip Knox to 0x1 if you flash a stock firmware , I believe you have just suppressed a necessary APK !!
