No I have not tried that, will do it tonight when I can get my hands on the phone.

Well the infamous wipes were a no go also....so I wiped everything once again did a fresh install of the PAC man ROM by jay dub and it wasn't on there so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the touchwiz ROM Idk to be honest tho it really confuses me on why no one else is having the issue it was on my wife's phone that I was having the issue on so I'm going to try and reproduce the issue on my phone later

I just flashed the stock rom released by Telus through ODIN. Getting same screen. No idea what to do or what's causing this.
I did a formate/wipe cache in recovery.

I actually called Samsung about it and they said it needs to be professionally reflashed by them which is stupid cuz I just got my phone back after they had it for 4 weeks he said its a software issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

flashed multiple Roms on this, the only way i can get rid of the info on screen is by going back to 4.0.4. has anyone come to figure out where this is coming from?

Little late
Okay so i know its late but if anyones feels the need to go back to stock heres the fix:
-Have root access
-Use titanium backup to find Systeminfo 4.1.2
-Clearing data will remove that
-You should only need to do this every boot
Not sure if you can remove this program, but that would eliminate the problem

I know its an old thread, but i am wondering if any one can shed some light as to why this system info screen appears, i was able to get rid of it by just deleting the file from titanium backup, no visible problems what so ever , data, phone, mms, every thing works as it should.
Just wondering why it popped up after odin back to stock..
Also I've read a few other samsung forums, and they relate this info screen to either; permanent safe mode due to imei faking, or corrupted efs drive/partition or some what.
Fyi, with the imei faking there would be no data/cellular services.
So I'm going with that something might be wrong with my efs? Maybe?

I had the same issue. I fixed it by restoring efs from a TRWP efs backup.
When I had this system screen show up it also flashed below it on startup that factory mode was on. If you go to youtube and search "Samsung Galaxy S4 : How to Get out of Factory Mode" it may help those without a efs backup

HELP ME!!!!!

ok guys im very frustrated. this is my 3rd s4 and i just want to know what im doing wrong, im on a tmobile phone. so when i get my s4 i immediately root it via twrp method, then i go and find i good stock rom to flash, my favorite is wicked rom, i get the rom, putt it on the external sd card, flash the rom and flash ktoonsez kernel, it reboots and the rom works fine no problems, until i try and reboot, then it just hangs on the samsung galaxy s4 boot screen, and it then starts to bootloop without ever going back on, ive tried flashing multiple stock roms and even leaving the kernel stock and tried different kernels without any luck, i can odin back to stock and it works fine, also i can flash any aosp rom and i dont have any reboot issues, this has happened with every phone, im at a loss and i have no idea what im doing wrong, clearly something, i need help. please help guys

Model SGH-M919, I've tried twrp 2.5 and 2.6, mostly use 2.5 because I have issues with 2.6 and yes I've checked them multiple times, re-download them both multiple times as well

Use cwm, both versions of twrp are bugged or something is wrong with it. Cwm will do the trick for you

I encountered the same problem, go to KTweaker if you are still using ktoonsez kernel. And change your settings to this.
Make sure you set it to on Boot as Immediately & save the settings. Same thing happened to me, I put in his settings and problem vanished.
After you do that, turn it off and go to recovery. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Cache than finally Fix Permissions in Advanced.

+1 you're having an issue with the kernel you're using.

Are you using exFAT 64gb sd card? If you are, take it out and your phone will boot fine.
Sent from My S4 in BEASTMODE

Ok. Because you formatted the internal storage with TWRP your partitions are probably messed up. Odin back to stock (like you need to return it) and start over again. You can use TWRP if you want, its a great recovery. Just dont format the internal storage with it. Obviously try the easier fixes first, ie SD card. These phones seem to be more sensitive to formatting than previous galaxy models.

Ive been thru this issue also Trust me Restore stock once more and use oudhs cwm base recovery with swipe gestures. .. skip the twrp junk.
You need to root in a specific manor to bypass the Selinux permissive setting that samsung put on the s4.
I root with odin and flash these files in order after u google search them there also in the s4 root section ..I forget which page.
First @ foremost
FLASH RECOVERY I RECOMEND OUDHS 1.0.3.3 swipe gesture By shabby penguin.
Reboot device into recovery
Flash in order
1# root m919 UVUAMDL.zip
2nd #flash MDB SetUIDoff.zip that bypasses the kernel issue that samsung has blocked ..
3# flash superuser.zip of your choice
#4 wipe cash

Unknown?

Something weird happens when I try a different ROM or updating the current ROM I'm on.
Everything changes to "unknown" imei, network, etc.
I restore a backup and everything is perfectly fine.
I have tried going back to stock and re-rooting the device, once I flash a ROM everything goes to "unknown".
What I've tried:
Returning to stock and re-rooting
Switched recoveries (tried both cwm and Twrp)
Made sure downloads weren't bad (both ROM and gapps)
Made sure recoveries were up to date
Full wipes when trying a different ROM
T-Mobile gs3 T-999 (yes, I'm sure)
Rooted
Twrp recovery

I second this.
Some reported that after rebooting several times, everything returned to normal. It is very weird, but in this case the IMEI is not lost, it's just the O/S isn't reading it for whatever reason.
If rebooting doesn't eventually help, you could try using nvrestore. But just about everyone has said an Odin flash back to stock solved it.

Yes going back to stock does resolve the issue. I was going to Odin back to stock (once again), instead I tried restoring from a back and everything was back to normal.
I was just wondering if this common, I will definitely try rebooting a few times the next time. Thanks Doc.

Anytime! Haven't seen him much lately but mt3g had this issue and it seemed that once he ran the reboot nvbackup command, it would fix itself after the first boot, whereas for others he said it was taking several attempts.
I think it was aerowinder that was also in that discussion with us so I credit the two of them for educating me on it. The two of them are usually who I learn the cm/aosp stuff from!

Extreme frustrating problems -.-'..Please help!

Ok so I actually have some really serious problems that I need some help with fast.
My details so you can help me with the following
*Running DN3 3.2 ROM rooted
*MJ5 new bootloader
*TWRP(at the moment)
*AGNi kernel
Soooo, here are the problems I encounter
I cant find a proper way to swap internal with external sd card. Now hear this super strange problem. Both with the script on this forum and the setting on AGNi control app DO INDEED swap the int with the ext sd card but theres a catch. Neither of them can swap the sdcard0/Android/obb(which is the folder I wanna swap -.-')but they swap the rest of the mount point! Soooo strange. As a result theres no space recover by applying this method and the obb folder still stays at int storage.
I really hate MTP on 4.3 Is there any way to enable the freaking USB Mass Storage?
Whenever I move an app to the sd card(settings/manage applications)and I reboot, after the reboot the app is lost and it says "App not installed" whenever I click its icon. This is the situation even after rebooting, I cannot move the app back to internal storage and as a result I have to uninstall and reinstall the app which leads to loss of data.(Note that I'm using a 32GB class 10 sd card)
I cannot make a proper backup and/or make a proper restore. I have tried both latest Philz and latest TWRP, the backup takes around an hour to do(REAALLLYYY long...)and then if I try to restore it says "Restore failed" on both recoveries.(On Philz it said md5 mismatch or something similar and on TWRP it said just restore failed)My only theory is that because I was trying to install a 4.4.2 ROM after making a backup and the recoveries were simply incompatible with KitKat, but other than that I don't understand why this happens.
Sorry for so long post but I really need help here. Thanks in advance!

Don't use the latest version of philz, it takes very long to boot the Rom for the first time which makes one get scared. Use version 5 Philz. After you wipe dalwik cache , go to mounts and format sd card and external card(take backup) then flash the Rom and reboot.
I flashed dn3 v 3.2 with cwm which ended up stucking at boot screen. Then I was told to use philz 5,now it works the works like charm. If I was you now I would flash the stock rom (unroot ) then root and flash dn3. Keep the stock kernel which comes with the rom. I didn't flashed mj5 boot loader instead I flashed Dr ketan's Wi-Fi patch. I had problem switching on Wi-Fi. Hope you get your problem resolved this is an amazing rom!

Thanks for your reply, but you didn't help me with any of my problems...

Hi NickVXD, I faced the same and was very disturbed, but finally it worked, the obb is swaped. I'm also using Agni latest.
What I did
1st I disabled the option from agni control app
Then rebooted
Then went to CWM
Flash the latest script of mattiadj, this one
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivl678c67r7z57g/extsd2internalsd_fat32_gs3_8.zip
..and the obb folder is swaped.
Regarding Proper Backup & Restore
During a restore, from CWM misc nandroid settings, uncheck md5 checksum
Then restore.
It'll restore.
Hope it helps.
Regards.

@nitol Thanks a lot for the obb solution, will check it later and report back. The problem with CWM isn't getting rid of the md5sum but to find a way to make the backup not corrupted. I had made a backup and then when I restored it said md5mismatch. So I removed md5sum check from settings and when the restore was done, I rebooted and phone stuck at note 2 screen. So the problem is the corrupted backup and not the md5. Also backup took 50-55 minutes to finish. Is that normal?? Thanks again.

No, it's abnormal, backup should take maxinum 25 mnts.
..and after flashing the ext2int sd script, your extsd is this
/storage/sdcard0
From there you should able to install apks.

[Q] Such bad luck with recoveries

Ok, I've tried several different roms and I always back up. I've used Oudhs, Clocworkmod and TWRP. No matter which one I back up with I never have any luck on restore. They all seem to restore ok but I get stuck in boot loops everytime. Factory reset doesn't help. Wiping caches don't help. This is just beginning to really drive me nuts. I don't really mind having to reinstall everything but jeez I just wish I knew what the deal was. I never had trouble on my Motorola Defy or my Galaxy S2 but I sure can't seem to get anywhere on the S4

It happens sometimes to me. When I get stuck after restoring nandroid, I get back into recovery and reflash the kernel and it boots the device. I am using philz recovery and its been working great.

Never used philz and never thought of just reflashing the kernel. I may try that though. Now to find the kernel. I should mention that I end up using Odin to reflash stock. Then I root and then custom recovery. That boots fine and for the most part all I'm ever doing is trying to restore a 4.4 rom I backed up.
Flashing a kernel worked. lol my phone doesn't think it's the stock kernel but it booted at least.

I do find this interesting. I would think when you restore a nandroid backup that it would restore the kernel that was with the rom you are restoring. I guess this isn't the case?

Using the latest clockwork has always worked for me.

I've had Rom Manager Premium since my Defy days. I'm a firm believer in it. I was just surprised I would have to reflash a kernel after restoring a rom.

I use OUDHs Touch recovery v1.0.3.3 in conjunction with Rom Manager and I have NEVER had that problem. Also, when I use Rom Manager to "Back Up Current Rom" I can NAME the backup file, and it goes into the recovery and uses the filename I have already typed in and it's a seamless operation. Even using restore via Rom Manager works seamlessly and it has NEVER balked on me.
The only time I had a problem was once using My Backup Pro and trying to do an on-line system backup. MMS, SMS, Call Log has always been absolutely perfect! No out of sequence messages, and all the pictures are restored correctly too!
Aloha and Good Luck!
BTW, I am on a Stock 4.2.2 with the latest M919UVUFNB4 (modem.bin) Flashed for the radio and it's reception qualities are better than it's ever been before!
