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?

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.

Hi, i have a Lg Nitro HD p930 AT&T with ICS.
I only have the phone for a few days i bought it used on mint condition on ebay.
The problem is that my phone turn off itself and the only way i can turn it on is taking off the battery and then put it back again, also i notice that the battery discharge really fast when i do that, for example if that happens with 90% of the battery when i do the process to turn the phone on, the battery is in 73%.
Another thing is that my phone sometimes gets extremely hot.
Obviously im not an expert but i think maybe its the battery because i only get 4-6 hours with simple use, just chat a little in whatsapp and view a few post on facebook.
I hope you can help me, thanks in advance.
Random reset is an issue on official ics
U can hold power button for 10sec or takeout the battery.
This phone battery usage is high and I think its because of the ips screen.
If you wanna check your battery ,turn off wifi and data and leave your phone for about 5 hours and check battery percentage it should not be more than 5%.but it depend on signal strength of your 3G/4G network
when I play high graphic games or browsing web for long time with high brightness phone gets hot in up sides and its normal
If your phone gets very hot it might be a problem
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, common issue with this phone and ICS and there is no easy fix. You will also sometimes see a red halo on the screen if it turns off by itself and gets hot.
Try to root it and install HoNo's Full Throttle. I heard it doesn't have that issue.
Afriend told me something similar happen to him a he download from de market the App Wake Lock, i download it and the phone hasnt reset since i install it but steal get hot when i use the GPS or chat in multiples APPs and the battery sucks even instaling juice defender.
i just finish rooting my phone a few minutes ago, i would like to instal cyanogen 10, im going to research how to cuz im new i never had install a ROM BUY maybe it work better
can someone send me the link or a tutorial of how to intall a ROM i had my NITRO rooted but i never install a ROM.
wich ROM YOU RECOMMEND i would like a rom that as stable as an official version and dont get my phone hot
thanks

Yes, you can unbrick if you're using official ICS; in fact, that's the only way you'd be able to install a custom ROM in the 1st place coming from official ICS. If you just want stock ICS you can use the LG Mobile Update software to restore your device to the stock LG firmware; but if you want a custom ROM you will need to follow one of the 3 unbrick guides located here in the general forum.

There is no conceivable way to brick an unmodified phone by doing a factory reset, but given the other symptoms that you are describing it might suggest that your phone has a hardware problem. Did you get a warranty with it? It has been my experience that people that have stability issues with this phone and it is 100% stock ICS points to one of two possibilities: software, that a factory reset would resolve or hardware. Good luck.

You did root your phone on stock ics but bootloader is locked , so you can't flash any rom via cwm and your phone is bricked.
The only way to unlock bootloader is following unbrick method instructions and back to android 2.3 which has unlocked boot loader and then install rom manager and cwm, then you can flash your favarite rom
If you wana flash stock ics ,use HoNo at&t official ics cmw flashable nor flash what ever you like

So last night, I guess my phone was trying to download and install security update from samsung and failed. My battery died later cause it was low and after I recharged my phone and turned it on, my phone literally took a crap. Everything crashes even settings. Cant send a text out. Bluetooth wont turn on etc.
Now after I back up my photos somehow, what would be the best way to restore to keep root and CWM?
Settings-restore?
dl note 3 os then flash with CWM?
Thanks guys.
Hmmmm

It's possible during your update critical files were missed do to power loss and were replaced on reboot? I unfortunately was not able to get passed the bootscreen to recovery or the system itself. So i was forced to divert back to stock firmware and start from the beggining. So if you run into any more issues you might start there. If you kept root all should be well i believe. :good:

From what I read, the only way is to have upgraded to 4.4.2 using Mobil Odin, as it leaves your boot loader as 4.2.2 or 4.1.2.
You may be stuck until someone patches a ROM update to force older bootloader for use on Odin.

You can downgrade, but can't use ODIN to install.
If you have a custom recovery already installed, then you can just install any 4.2.2 custom ROM from recovery.

I've been using the tablet for a couple days now and haven't had any problems other than the occasional sleep of death. Some people have reported charging issues with the new bootloader in combination with the old rom, especially with the device turned off. I'll try to confirm or deny that over the next few days.

My Note 8 is doing great after downgrading. No problems at all.
At a high level, basically grab the proper 4.1.2 firmware for your device from Sammobile and a version of Odin 3.09. Put your device into download mode, and flash the firmware. I would suggest doing a factory reset before flashing your firmware through Odin. That's all there is to it.
I honestly haven't noticed much difference in battery life after the upgrade. I find that depending on what you are running and what your settings are makes more if a difference, at least to me, or in my case. I've learned to reduce my screen brightness and not run over clocked all the time unless the app calls for it. Stuff like that. Also use Clean sweep app and Battery doctor, they both do a nice job managing my ram and battery ussage usage.

I am the one having problem with charging with the device turned off after downgrading form 4.4.2 to stock 4.1.2.
I can charge the device only when it is turned on.
When it is turned off it still charges but the display is never dimmed/turned off… and the device hangs… so hard reset is needed.
If anyone knows how to fix it please help!

I also have this issue after downgrading, but compared to dealing with an inaccurate S-Pen after upgrading to 4.4.2, I would consider this a minor issue.
Avoid turning off your device or draining your battery so much that it shuts off (it's not really good for the battery to drain it frequently anyway). If you do have to charge from power-off state, let it charge for a few minutes until you can turn on the device, do a power off when it appears to hang, and then turn it back on, and then charge with the tablet booted into Android.

Sure. If I like 4.4.2 I would never downgrade to 4.1.2. Also I will not install 4.4.2 any more at note 8.0. However it is somekind heartening that I am not the only one with the same problem.
But I am interested in the real fix (eg. getting back to the previous bootloader version).
Samsung by blocking owners the possibility to officially downgrade their devices to STOCK firmwares and by doing so voiding the warranty is just violating my ownership rights to have the device the same quality of functionalities that I have bought! As 4.4.2 in my humble opinion is functional disaster in comparison to 4.1.2.

But I am interested in the real fix (eg. getting back to the previous bootloader version).
Samsung by blocking owners the possibility to officially downgrade their devices to STOCK firmwares and by doing so voiding the warranty is just violating my ownership rights to have the device the same quality of functionalities that I have bought! As 4.4.2 in my humble opinion is functional disaster in comparison to 4.1.2.

Sanctrum, I agree with you that I'd like to see a method to revert to the previous bootloader version, but as far as I'm aware (and I admittingly have not dug very deep into this) there are no ways to revert back to a previous version of a bootloader. Once you upgrade that, you're kind of stuck.
Still, it's a relatively minor bug to put up with in the grand scheme of things, so it doesn't really bother me all that much.
Good luck on your search, and please do post back if you find a solution!
Thanks,
S.
Am i right?
Can we downgrade from 4.4.2 Official to 4.1.2 Official?
How? What about knox?
Tell me step by stem.. Thank u..
Yes, flash with Odin. Knox will stay because 4.4.2 bootloader won't be downgraded with flashing 4.1.2
I just downgraded from kitkat today and boy does my tablet feel good! It is back to bug free and super fast. The only downside now is that I also have the charging issue when devices is off. Glad my second note 8 is still on 4.2.2 boot loader.

I just got my device yesterday and rooted but I'm stuck on stock due to charging issue also.
Is there a way Around it via a custom kernel maybe?

Any alternative download places for this one:
N5120XXBME1_N5120OXXBME2_NEE
Having trouble getting this from Samfirmware/Sammobile ...
Could be a network issue in my end though

Thanks for the post, this worked brilliantly! Device rooted, more bloatware disabled.
can any one confirm if it works on the SM-G925I model?
thanks:good:
Just rooted this beauty. Thanks for the instructions!
good job thanks a lot!
good job thanks a lot!:good::good::good:
Just as a reminder, this will trip Knox. Later Samsung pay possibly might not work.
just got my edge and rooted it, thanks for the video. T mobile keeps wanting me to update software (I assume installing this update will break root) Is the update any good? Should I take it and then re-root?
Also how do I get rid of the update reminder? Something I can freeze with Titanium backup? Thanks! Size of updte is 178.67 mb
Google Play Movies streaming is broken after root. Be sure to root using ODIN 3.10.6 and SM-G920T for the edge model to avoid being stuck on the boot screen.
I was just informed by some users on Reddit that CF Auto root prevents the device from going into deep sleep. Is that true? My phone has never been in deep sleep since I've gotten it and I rooted it almost immeditely after I got it.

I'm scared of rooting my device because of this...... Since we are not using the correct file for our phone but the one for the regular...... Somebody that has their phone rooted can you download cpu spy and reset timers and see if you are going into deep sleep after rooting ?????
This and the possibility that Samsung Pay doesn't work is causing me to hold-off as well. As soon as someone with root can confirm that these 2 (potential) issues don't exist.... Thanks for the work on this thus far!

That's not correct if the root is done after a clean flash.

What do you mean by clean flash? I rooted my phone after setting up my phone out of the box, then realizing I want to root so I wiped my phone and used cf auto root and now it doesn't go into deep sleep.

So, I was able to get Odin installed on my Mac using crossover, it loads fine and I am able to Load the tar file in AP, however I cannot get Odin to see my phone. Anyone have experience with this in Mac?
