My phone shows status system status- modified.
How can I make to official again?
Please help me out.
Model- Samsung Galaxy S Duos(GT-S7562)
I have already reset binary counter to zero.
Rooted via "Galaxy S Duos S7562 Droidiser Rooting Kit" I found on one of the websites,
(used Odin3 v1.85 and flashed with recovery.tar and then installed CWM-Superuser-3.1.3 via clockmode recovery)
i dont think there is a known solution because i think it is something that samsung made to see if you have modified your phone in a way that you lose your warranty, like the speedometer in a car that is illegal to manipulate.

My try worked to success
I had reset binary counter using Triangle Away app.
But still system status was modified. and checking tick for modified system in Triangle Away didn't work either.
Finally, one of thread here, as per their suggestions, I did download the Firmware from the internet.
So I downloaded latest firmware from sammobile.com.
and through Odin, I flashed that .mdf file into my android.
and whoa....... my system status became 'normal', and the peak was, I got my deleted system apps back too.
I am happier now.
Thank you to all for helping me out. Thanks a lot.
(Look, I am not at all a professional in android system format and all, but I did know how to root using internet by all those kits and their procedures. In my rooted phone, Samsung Galaxy S duos, I did tried to map all possibilities of all applications and feast of super-user. But my curiosity about rooted phone was blown away when system status shown was 'modified' as well as binary flash counter to '11'. So I searched a lot for these to get normal. )

So you mean we can safely go back and reset counter and system status through this procedure. And also can get warranty back.
By d way which rooting methods you used. Is there any unroot procedure? Other than odin

Yeah exactly. Now, my phone shows, in downloading mode,
custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
system status: official
and when checked in settings-about device-status, its shows,
system status: normal
I think these notifications are enough to show the phone is in warranty. and
Look, I have used 'Galaxy S Duos S7562 Droidiser Rooting Kit' included files
1. odin
2. CWM-Superuser-3.1.3
3. CWM-SuperSU-v0.96
4. recovery
5. stock_recovery
To root, I unzipped odin.zip, as per their stated procedures, started odin, flashed with recovery.tar file, and then through recovery mode I flashed CWM-Superuser-3.1.3 file and I got supersuser3.1 app installed, I got my phone rooted. I don't know what this procedure is called as in technical android, but I have followed these steps as per there suggestions. and finally checked root status using root-checker app, it shows 'root access success'.
(I refered :droidiser.com/2012/10/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-duos-install-cwm.html)
and to un-root, as per internet website suggestions, I just choose an option from superuser3.1 app that un-installed app as well as makes phone un-rooted automatically.
and again through root-checker app checked for status of root access, it said 'no root access'.

Thanks for the reply, it is really useful. Also I did rooted with another method using adb. That also don't increase flash counter and no triangle.
I also used "greenify" to hibernate unused apps. It works great

You're very welcome. Could tell me some more info that how did you managed it root the phone without increment in counter? I'd be very thankful.
A method I did read on some website when first time I have decided to root the phone, unfortunately, I were not able to follow instructions properly, or the method was wrong, and my phone's binary counter incremented. I think I failed to start the phone in clock mode recovery, pressing buttons at the same time was difficult. I got the timing later. LOL.
Thank you very much. Bye.

Firstly, is your device rooted? have you got cwm installed in your device before not being able to boot? If yes i recommend you to try and reflash the file and stock firmware through odin. MAKE SURE that it is for you device! [eg. for n7100 and not for n7105]
The stock browser doesn't have anymore the "zoom on the side" feature on XXDLK7? or is it custom rom specific? any way to get it back?
Thanks^^

Should get chrome hahaha but anyways, there is a possibilty that it is rom specific but that is very unlikely, as developers would not really wanna touch the stock browser as normally i would see they would add an alternative browser such as chrome to their roms. To get the feature back you might need to push the app from the previous rom/version you were using.

TriangleAway crash
Hello, thanks for this thread. I have a GT-N7100 now but previously i had GT-9100 and i'm familiar with rooting, rom flashing, etc.. and i've used TriangleAway so many times. When i get my hands on note 2 first thing i've done was rooting it with CF Auto Root package via Odin. then i've done wiping steps and after that i tried to flash my counter via TriangleAway(purchased from market). It said i have to download data to use it so i did. When TriangleAway opened "Current Status" said current status cannot be determined so i have to go special boot mode for reset. So i tried to reset my counter. Unfortunately when app tried to check for kernel, first app froze and after that it crashed and showed a warning about app being stopped. I tried to delete and re-install app(no good), gone to download mode it said normal status with 1 custom software install, looked to recovery menu for any changes(it is stock not CWM) and tried to find any wrong thing i've screwed up while rooting. But i couldn't find anything. I've looked at chainfire's blog, TriangleAway app post and everywhere i can think of. I cannot find anything. Can u help me with my problem. Thank you for your time and if i misused English anyhow and it came difficult to read sorry in advance.

I used cf auto root on a friends n7100. The counter was reset by auto root itself.
You dont need triangle away as separate app. Just use cf auto root and make sure you use the right version for n7100
EDIT: you need triangle away for the counter. Auto root just installs stock recovery after rooting. I was wrong.

Ktp1976 well even before i used TriangleAway counter was showing 1 due to CF Auto Root flash via Odin. But what you are saying is interesting thoug i've never seen something like it.

As it seems you are right and my memories were wrong
It installs stock recovery after rooting. You need triangle away to reset the counter. I just looked it up under forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933542
I did not have any problems though.

Hi, at the moment i would recommend you to try and restock again and then try to reset the counter. You can also try and download the triangle away version from the xda forum(i know its the same but who knows it might make a difference). If this does not work, i would recommend you to try and install redpill kernel and then try to reset counter again then restock, if you are running a custom roms in your phone, everytime you reboot the device will store a counter, so you will have to reset the counter everytime. Hope i have helped you.

Your case is really weird, maybe try root it before installing the cwm and see what happens. Then after that try and restock it again.

First of all thank you and ktp1976 for answering.. Ok now i'm re-download everything from your thread and try it again.. I saw redpill kernel yesterday while i was searching is there any siyah kernel for note 2.. I luvved siyah kernel on my sgs2 but unfortunately there isn't one for it and developer wrote he will not wrote any version of siyah kernel for note series anytime soon.. so while i was looking for a kernel written by a suggested developer from gokhanmoral i came across to it.. the thing is i never have used any kernels double rom features or try to overlock any of my devices, i tried custom roms like miui, cyanogen, lightning on sgs2 but there was always a downside of all of the custom roms and every single time i've re-return to stock roms.. and while using stock roms i don't need any cutting edge features of advanced kernels i just need root permissions for using TitaniumBackup, Root Explorer and ROM ToolBox.. so that is the reason why i didn't try to have an advanced kernel.. Still if you are saying i will need it i will give it a shot.. I'll report after.. :fingers-crossed:
I've been trying to update my note via OTA since yesterday but always got the try again later error.
Last time I tried was couple hours ago, same error.
Suddenly and magicalky now I got error saying that my device as been modified? On about phone status is modified???

You're not gonna get the OTA because of this:
Custom Binary Download : NO
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status : Custom
You can do 2 things.
#1. If you are rooted open super su and do a complete unroot. Restart the phone and do a factory reset. You should now be 100% stock. The OTA will work now.
#2. ODIN the stock update http://www.hotfile.com/dl/189254052/2d06338/T889UVALL4_T889TMBALL4_TMB.zip.html

Thank you, but what I dont understand, I never root nor do modify anything major as much as I can remember, why it suddenly changed to modified status without me doing anything in the past hour. What exactly did I do that made the System Status to CUSTOM?
But I guess I will wait until there's a major update before doing a reset

I wish that's the case with my note, tried restart, battery pulls, wipe cache, still showing status as modified, except on safe mode, status back to normal, but still cannot update via OTA, always getting try again error. Tried updating vie KIES, still no luck, somehow KIES stop responding everytime it's finished downloading the new firmware.
Try a factory reset man

I need to return S4 White and get another S4 white.
Can I just do the nandriod backtup on Phone 1 and restore on phone 2?
Ques 2.
Is that okay that I just do the factory reset and leave the root on along with twrp?
if not then I just need to ODIN the stock rom?
I am still within the 20 days return policy
First, yes u can restore it with everything you have on that one with no issue except if your getting the s4 from another carrier, the bloat might give you issues with it.
Second, If you're returning it and it's rooted your warranty is voided so you need to go back to stock and unroot it and the flash counter that tells if you've made any unauthorized changes to the software might give you issues so I don't now how to reset the flash counter so I would wait until u can restart the flash counter and go back to stock... I hope this answered your question...

isn't if I ODIN back to stock would unroot automatically? even remove the recovery as well?
you mean there is no way to check the flash counter or reset?
Odin erases any root files but hey the only way to see if it resets the flash counter is by doing it and once you went back to stock and get on download mode again and once you proceed check at the top left where a small text will say something like, system version: official Samsung, flash counter: 0 or 1, name... Etc... And yes it will take the recovery as well
Edit: if it doesn't reset it try researching it on Google I'm pretty sure there's some way to do it..
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
flash counter only increase if you ODIN anything other than Stock. Correct?
I use the exploit to get the root access, so technically I never ODIN, and my flash counter should be to 0.
question is if I do the ODIN to stock, is that gonna increase the flash counter?
Can I not just go back to stock via kies? that will not increase the flash counter I guess.
here is the screenshot showing the current status of what it is now after root and twrp installed.
Does not really show the flash counter.
I'm not really sure but try to use triangle away and see if it shows u Ur flash counter and if it does don't try to reset it with it Kuz I don't know if it's compatible with the s4 yet
Edit: I just checked and yes that app does work with the s4 so there's Ur option... Check if it's showing the flash counter nd if it does reset it nd then go back to stock nd problem solved..

System Status is Custom, which if I remember correctly means it has at one point been flashed with a custom firmware.
I may be wrong though.
can someone who is not rooted please tell me the difference, what they see on ODIN screen?

It will say Official instead of Custom. I used Odin to install the MDL update and it changed to Official. In settings > about device > scroll to the bottom and under Device Status it should also say Official.
yeah!!.
This thing is getting on my nerves now.
First that stupid Tmobile error which is forcing me to order the same phone for different line and return this.
Like I said just used an app called TRIANGLE AWAY and it will reset your flash counter...

Is hooked to the phone so once you get a new one it will b there but u will have to re start everything you've made on it its not good to back up system apps.. It will give you too many issues..

follow the instructions as you said.
Now I am back to stock but the Device Status still shows "custom".
I also used the triangle away 2.90 which let me reset the counter back to 0, it showed me on the confirmation page, but looks like that didn't do the job.
Now there is no root but custom device status.
Returning phone like this would cause any issue?
I tried kies as well, its just not connecting with kies, even after re-installing drivers couple of times
Go into stock recovery and wipe cache and do a factory reset from there that should clear it up.
Please tell me whether TriangleAway works on Galaxy S4 or not ??
Yes I used it to reset my flash counter.
No it does not currently work. The above poster probably tried it and it does reset the program to read 0. But as soon as your phone is rebooted it shows the old value again so it obviously does not update the counter. Chainfire will need to update it for the S4.

It does work on the GT-I9505 but you need to make sure the system status shows "OFFICIAL" if it shows "MODIFIED" the counter never decreases below 1. To have the "OFFICIAL" status, you need to flash the samsung original recovery through ODIN and use the option to disable SU for a few minutes after the phone reboot (it's in triangle away).
You may also need to factory reset after flashing the recovery on some phones.

You need to be using the stock firmware in order to reset it as well if you're using another rom it will obviously increase it to one again since the system is gone read it as modified... I've done it twice already and it worked pretty well...

Good to know... but mine started at 3, and stayed at 3 after once I rebooted. Before I rebooted the phone it said 0.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but where can I find the flash counter? When I reboot into DL mode I dont see any sort of "counter"

In my case, I used the CF-Auto-Root so the only changes made are the ones it made. I have the same result, it 'says' it reset until you reboot. I'm using the stock recovery. (unless autoroot changes it) so yeah, it definately has to be updated for the S4 esp with the 'update'.
Hi I am new to this forum and a casual user. I wanted to root my note 2 tmobile android version 4.3 and actually rooted it once but knox created a lot of problem. I could not even launch titanium backup to freeze knox. Or was completely unable to disable knox. Now as android 4.3 has been released for quite a few months. Does anyone know of a method which will root my galaxy note 2 tmobile (SGH-T889) for sure and let me completely disable knox? If so please give me step by step instruction of rooting my device or alteratively you can provide me a link of the instruction so I can root my note 2 phone. I appreciate your help.

cf auto root should work for root. what did you use to root? if you are rooted install a custom recovery and flash a knoxfree rom from the dev section
Flash CF auto root via Odin then download latest superuser from play store and you are ready to go.

Did you try this method, if so did it work for you? Im having similar issues with my tmobile note 2 running 4.3 too. I'd appreciate it, thanks in advance...

Just as a suggestion, something that happened to me while playing around with the phone: if you're running Stock rom and then flash a custom recovery via Odin (I used Philz Touch) upon booting on recovery just to wipe cache/dalvik I found something interesting: my phone wasn't rooted, so when chosing the option "reboot system now" a message that said something like "root is broken, would you like to root your phone before rebooting" appeared. I was curious, as I normally use a website called Kingo root that does it in a one-click kinda way. When I chose Yes in the recovery, upon booting my phone it was rooted. After, I just intalled Chainfire's SuperSU from the play store and it was all good.
It's worth trying I believe.
Cheers

I have a question. If you don't run odin as a administrator do you get this error message: Windows cannot access the specific device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access. The last time I tried to root my phone i didn't run odin in administrator mode. I'm just finding out about this recently. I have all of the files installed on the computer and ready. Odin, recovery, keis, and supersu zip on sd card. Im just trying to figure out why I got that error message. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance... Awaiting your response...

The only answer that pops up in my mind would be that you weren't running Odin as an administrator, like you mentioned. Maybe try running Odin as an admin, or alternatively (and I haven't tried this myself but Chainfire's thread gives a good step-by-step and people in the forum do help) use mobile Odin ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899. The first time I wanted to root my phone I was having issues too, not being able to do it because of lack of experience. I stumbled upon this website: http://www.kingoapp.com/. Check it out, if you would like. This kingo app is a downloadle app (kind of like Odin) that Roots yourm phone alone, without needing to flash anything. The step-by-step's are there, just turn on your developer options and then turn on USB debugging. I personally rooted A Galaxy Tab, SIII, a Note I i717 and an Asus MemoPad with that website and it worked perfectly for me. Rooting via custom recovery is something that I learned recently, and by chance. I do not know whether it trips the Knox counter or not to be honest with you, to me it doesn't make a difference since I will not be returning any of the devices I rooted, After rooting the phone like so you could potentially download mobile Odin from Chainfire's thread and then use Odin without needing to use your computer.
Hope this helps

Yeah that was it, i rooted it earlier today. I do have another question for you. I ran root checker pro and it says I'm rooted. I tried to install busybox but it said remove supersu permissions reinstall supersu and to delete and reinstall busybox. Also the adb shell doesn't have root access either. So is that a common occurrence, or is it the norm after rooting and installing custom recovery? Awaiting your reply. Thanks in advance...

Sorry for the late reply, hadn't been to the forum in a minute. To be honest with u, I don't know for sure. I haven't personally yet served myself from adb so I can't tell u. However, the reason why you received that response from busybox may be because when u were partially rooted it gained root access (if it ever did, I only assume).
Try what was asked of u and I'm sure busybox will work no problems. Also, if u have the terminal emulator apk try entering the command "root" (without the ") and if u gain roots access it will definitely mean you are rooted for sure.
What do you want to use adb for, if I may ask?
