System Status always Modified.

In a bit of a pickle.
No matter what I do, my system status is always modified.
I've unrooted with TA, flashed stock, then wiped cache, wipe data, and wipe cache.
It shows normal the first boot.
Then when it restarts, it's modified again.
Suggestions?

You have to do a data/factory reset in settings/backup and restore mate.That should fix it.

Tried that, still modified.

Get it rooted again. Install triangle away and use it. Then flash stock rom via odin, wipe cache/data and factory reset. Viola!
Thats what I did and it worked.

That's the steps I went through.
Are there any special steps I need before I flash via Odin?
Just TA?
Does it still show Normal after a restart?
Cos for me, it's shows Normal, and just after one reboot, it's automagically modified.

Try to factory reset again. I did it twice

Done that loads of times.
As soon as I restart device, it shows modified.
I need to claim warranty, which is why I need it normal normal normal.
Could it be a problem of the stock firmware?
Does anyone know the CSC of the unlocked version of the N7100?

a friend of mine wanted to claim warranty at o2 in Leeds but couldn't due to device modified. He raised hell but the store wouldn't budge. One of the store sales people asked him if he had insurance, he had.. puked him to one side pretending to calm him down, and told him to go home, or coffee over the phone and come back tomorrow to claim insurance for a new phone.
My friend went back, did that.. and the store salesguy have him another phone under insurance.
My friend could b real lucky and might not work for u. For obvious reasons he won't tell me the name of the kind understanding fellow. But he left a letter of compliment for the sales guy good service.

I would do that, but won't accept a refurbished device over my new one.
If only they give new replacements.
Anyway, I finally got it back to Normal.
I used Kies to restore it, and it's on Normal no matter how many times I restart.
I think I just needed to reflash it twice to get it back to Normal.
We'll see what they say today, as I went in yesterday, and they somehow said my CSC isn't valid... wtf.

Apologies if not relevant...
...but my brand new, sealed box Vodafone N-7100 shows "Modified" until I remove the SD card, at which point it show "Unmodified" and allows update check etc. but as soon as I put in the SD card again.
I was panicking that it had been rooted or something but I think it's just a weird software bug. I found a guy in a forum mentioning the SD card thing and sure enough it fixed it for me.
My SD card is 64GB, formatted as exFAT by the phone itself, incidentally.
Anyone else having this problem with a 100% stock, unrooted, unhacked phone?

U mean if u insert a 64gb sdcard formatted to exfat or will show modified? That's weird. Lucky I use 32gb cards
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Hi,
Yes that's exactly right. I haven't actually tried formatting FAT32 to see if it has the same issue. Also I haven't tried other SD cards - I've only had the phone a short while.
I used to use the same SD card in my Galaxy S2 with no issues.

I have the same issue with a T-Mobile (US) version. Removing the 64GB exFAT micro SD card and rebooting causes the device status to change from Modified to Normal. Reinserting the micro SD card causes the device status to show as Modified. Is the only fix to format the SD card as FAT32?

Hello,
You really need to check your original csc sold in your country, then you must download it from sammobile and flash again!

I haven't tried it either. The issue still exists following the T-Mobile system update that I just installed today. I was able to install the update with the SD card removed.

[Q] No service

Ok, I'm at my Wit's end. Although i don't post to the forums much, i am not a noob.
Basically yesterday i stopped getting service on my galaxy nexus i9520 Maguro.
I did not flash any roms/Kernel/Radios in the 24 hours before that.
My sim card works fine in every other phone (android or otherwise) as i've tested it (Sms/calls/everything working fine). Now here's the catch, Every other sim card works fine in my phone too. So basically my phone won't work with only my sim card but my sim card works with every other phone.
I had a working nandroid backup which didn't fix the problem upon restore. I clean wiped roms, flashed clean roms, kernels and i even reflashed the radios....absolutely nothing works.
Someone got a clue as to what's going on here?
Edit: Ok, so i'm not sure if this is relevant or not but when i use my not working sim card and restart the phone, Superuser always says that binary is outdated. Could it be causing the issue?

You might want to check with your carrier and see if your phone has been erroneously blacklisted as a stolen phone. Also might check that your efs partition is undamaged, and your imei number is unchanged. That's all I can think of.

Checked with carrier. No problem on their end.
Had a NANDROID of the efs too. Even restoring that didn't work.

[Q] Sim Card not detecting.

Recently, my brother got a new phone and its better than the S2 so he gave me the S2, I inserted my sim card after I wiped everything and flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177052. It doesn't detect my sim but my old phone does. Is there anyway for the S2 to detect it?

Options
A. Format sd card but first save files somewhere
B. Reflash rom see if it fixes it
C. Try new rom and see if it still happens.
D. If you want the external sd storage to be the internal sd storage let me know.

Hi guys, i have been using a ROOTED galaxy note 2 for quite some time now. my phone has been running on the jellybean 4.1.1 version, i decided to manually update to jellybean 4.1.2 with odin (through laptop) all went ok and i managed to upgrade properly. The problem i am having is that once i rebooted my phone (after update) i have been getting an error saying to insert my sim card....it will not recognize there is any simcard whatsoever. Also when i put thw sim card in another phone it works fine and i am able to receive texts etc. Can anyone please offer me some help as my phone is a massive part of my job (as i work on a client basis), and do not have the time to send my phone away for 2 weeks. Any insight would be awesome im up for trying anything. Thanks again! Kes

Hi guys i have just factory reset my phone, i did this by turning the phone on holding the up volume + home + power button, the screen had a picture of the green android guy. I clicked the factory reset and the clear cache options (using the up and down volume buttons). My phone has now restarted asif it was brand new out the box, yet the sim card is still not working (and yes i took the sim out for the reset, only put it back in after i did the initial setup). Have i done something wrong?? did i not do a full reset? could someone please help as i havnt had my work phone for a few days now and its getting harder to keep track of my clients. Any suggestions would be amazing, thanks a lot!

The latest rom modifies the efs folder (where your imei is stored) so only some modems can read it. For unknown reason kies or ota updates don't modify the efs, so the new rom can't use the efs info. The solution is to flash back to an older rom other than dme4/dme6. Your sim will be recognized. I advise you to backup your esf folder and to awlays ve a copy of it

EFS folder mod only gives network error but in his case He says showing error "Insert Sim Card"

Anyway it is wise to flash an older rom or the same rom he was before on

Awesome cheers mate will try this when i get back! would that mean i would not have the newest update? or could i just flash the newest rom after?

Dude first thing is check if your Imei is corrupt. Go to about device/status and if it starts with 0049, this means it's corrupt and without a backup Samsung are the only ones who can fix as they have to replace the motherboard. If it is corrupt you could try moving your efs to SD card and then rebooting and then moving it back.

[Q] Bricked with out custon rom??

So I think my phone is hard bricked. I was on G+ ealier today, clicked on a link that opened Chrome. got through a third of the web page and my phone freezes then the screen goes black... I have tried every troubleshoot trick provided by tmobile and samsung and the phone wont respond in any way. Just a black screen. Is it possible to brick your phone with out trying to flash a custom ROM??? The only thing new I have done in the past week was install "graph ti89" and "aviate." I dont know if this has anything to do with it but tmobile has being try to get me to install the kitkat OTA for the last week and I keep ignoring it.

just update

Thanks for your input but the phone won't turn on at all. Can'T turn it on to update. Won't go into safe mode by pressing vol. up&home&power. When I plug it into the computer it says it needs drivers for "QHSUSB_BULK." Kies doesn't see it as a connected device...

If you haven't done anything to the phone why not call Tmobile and get a replacement..

You need a 32 GB sd card and some luck. Also reading is a requirement.
Yours may be a special case though, as you claim nothing was going on besides you clicked a link. Should have absolutely nothing to do with ota, and everyone else who had done this was messing with their phone. This definitely works for 4.3, but no one had reported working on 4.4 (you were on 4.3 anyways). Good luck.

Got it! So, to be clear;
1st - Format class 10 card to Exfat file system or structure
2nd - Using Win32Diskmapper, just point to the file (in my case kk900tunbrick image) and write to card. *Nothing special, should I verify Md5 sum, or just leave it as default settings?
3rd, Proceed to attempt to Unbrick (Battery at 100%, Put Sd card in slot, Then Add Battery, Connect cable - some say, some say doesn't matter, to computer, then attempt to boot with button sequence to download mode, or may boot by itself?)
Also, if the 1st image I downloaded does not work, can I reformat or wipe the sd card and start again with the other file (I believe a Pit file??)
