Hello all I'm having a weird issue that I am Not sure if its normal or not. I am currently un rooted un modified haven't done anything to the phone since out of the box it is fully stock. I boot into recovery and it says no command then says error then the options popup. When I click the option to clear cache it just says error and reboots without accomplishing the task. Although when I hit factory reset it works. Is this normal behavior? This is my second s4 and I recall being able to do this with no problems on my other device. But I'm not sure why it's giving me error in stock recovery just from trying to wipe cache.. Anybody can confirm this being normal?

I never had any problem like that with stock recovery. Have you updated to the MDL firmware?
Yea I'm on the latest stock firmware..all official no root nothing. Hasn't been touched. I got the phone like this. Factory resets work fine.. Its just clearing the cache says error and causes reboot

boot into stock recovery / factory reset ( you will loose your data setup )
You don't need to do any boot into recovery stuff. I get this message every now and again (bone stock). Just reboot your phone and it's gone for a while.
Apparently Samsung is hyper-sensitive about their file system and if the root checker gets even slightly tripped, you get this message. Just do a simple reboot and it fixes it.
Did you disable any default apps ?
It happened with me too and was fixed by resetting to factory defaults which was annoying.
Also memory cards are suspected to change device status, check this thread.

I just got this phone today and I had the same problem, what I did was remove the memory card and reboot the phone, after this my device status was normal and I was able to update the phone.

I was able to download the 178MB update. Then instructed to restart, which works just fine. At the 27% completion, the update says "failed" and then the device restarts.
The device was once modded but I reverted back to stock. It is not rooted. Although, I just realized the "Device status" still says modified.
Anyone else experiencing something similiar?

Factory Reset to make you status normal. You could also plug into kies and back uo and reinstall stock firmware

Wouldn't I lose my apps and data by factory resetting?

There's a thread on this already...
Please read & search.
BTW, have you tried/attempted to install Google wallet or modify any of the contents in the device?
I took my stock GSIII and rooted and installed hyperdrive, but texting was really awful, and battery was bad so I proceeded to reinstall. Didn't work. So I flashed one of the rooted stock firmwares from the root no tripping flash counter thread. Now its worse. i cant get in to the app drawer it always just says that android.core or something like that has stopped and proceeds to kick me out. At this point I am done and just want to have rooted stock then use triangle away and then flash pure stock and end up with a good warranty, pure stock phone, any help?
Did you wipe your cache/data factory reset every time you flashed?

So did you do a factory reset when you Odin back to stock with the rooted stock .tar file?

Yeah...
repeat the process: wipe data and cache in recovery then boot into download mode. flash the correct stock firmware via odin with "auto reboot" unchecked. when you get a "pass", pull the battery. reinsert the battery and immediately press the recovery button combo. once in, wipe data and cache again. reboot. report back.
Hey guys, so I have a weird issue I've never had before. When flashing new ROMs, the email app force closes, when trying to fix permissions on recovery, it fails with an error message that says "failed to chmod com.android.email". I delete the app, and the data in the data/data folder, and then permissions are fixed successfully. This happens on any ROM that I flash, I've tried reverting to stock but the issue persists. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should Odin stock. Oh, and factory reset!
Ok, I've tried it before, but not sure if I wiped data before doing so. I tend to use mobile Odin because I'm not near a computer all the time, can one wipe data when flashing with mobile Odin?
Edit: yes I can, but only on pro version

Yep, it's under the Wipe area. But I would drop to recovery for a factory reset. I'm not sure what the "factory reset" in wipe data/factory reset implies, if anything.
