[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noris08:
i already tried that, but a lot of apps didn't start corect, phone became very unstable and unusable. i even couldn't check if the status went back to normal. could it be because the original version seems to be an earlier release compared to lfb release?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfudude:
i flashed stock rom, ALE8 to be exact, a few days ago, after having a few problems with wanam 1.9. the status changed to normal after flashing. i use desktop odin to flash. after flashing wanam 2.0 the status changed to modified. tried triangle away, but the status still doesn't change to normal even though flash counter has been succesfully reset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The full steps are: (in that order)

- Triangle Away

- Flash Stock ROM

- Flash correct CSC / Modem (optional, not required)

- Factory-reset the phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casanoaa:
Reset the flashcounter, update rom and after boot do a facory reset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascariz:
flash stock rom, wipe everything, doesn't mean that the phone back to normal. for example, i always set my line to wcdma only. after flash any rom, reset everything, that setting still wcdma only. the only way to have absolutely format, is change csc code. it's truly format back to stock. but, be warning, you will lose everything, backup 1st.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfudude:
so the trick is factory reset? good to know! i will not try it btw, because i need a working phone for this 2 months. OP, is your question answered now?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noris08:
I don't know yet:)

I have to try that first, but i can't do IT right now. I hope that after flashing my original orange rom the phone will be stabile enough to perform a factory reset.

Thank you guys for your suggestion.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Hey dude. I'd just stick with it :)

even if you should have to send it in, they'll pretty much only look at the counter (If possible) and if that is not possible, then they'll JTAG it; meaning that EVERY tiny piece of information on that phone is gonna be wiped... Just make sure you don't send it in, just because of a small SIM failure. (Because that's caused by bad radios/basebands). Only send it in, if it's proper bricked, and they'll not no a thing :) (I've done this loads of times, they haven't noticed a thing to date :P)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noris08:
yep, factory reset did the trick.

as i said, after flashing original orange rom over lfb rom the phone became unstable.

i booted into mini cwm that came original with the phone and there is an option to do a factory reset, et voila, no more modified status.

thank you guys!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daflex86:
I have a brand new s3 from orange which has not been rooted or anything and the device status shows as modified. i have used the Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit and odin to flash an unsecure boot image so i could back up my phone which i still havent yet as i need to root and install busy box. i have not rooted the phone or changed the rom so why does it say device status modified. I did a factory reset but it still shows as modified.

I will be flashing the rom once i know how to backup the orange rom and data. I want to remove the modified status incase i want to return the phone to orange so they can give me an unbranded phone in the first place.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
If you flashed an insecure kernel, you did modify the state of the device. Are you saying that it showed as modified out of the box?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afnant:
same problem

I have never rooted my device, never intended to either. However my device status appears as modified. While I personally feel there arent many glitches in my phone (s3), I'm worried i wont be able to upgrade to jellybean when the update comes out.

Any help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Which firmware/ROM are you using? Are you rooted?

I'm asking this cause if you bought it second-hand the previous owner could have modified it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyre31:
would having this status affect OTA updates?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Yep, it generally means the phone is running a custom rom/recovery and is rooted. OTA updates only work on non rooted stock recovery roms... However this doesn't mean you can't update through ODIN...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
I don't think so. As long as you're on an official ROM it doesn't matter if you're rooted or not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daflex86:
Thanks, I realised that later on and was just about to re-edit the post. Im sure it didn't say modified when out of the box. Orange won't replace the mobile as they say all their phones are branded and the replacement would be branded anyway. Im gonna flash with unbranded software as i dont want orange bloatware. Just need to know how to back up this useless orange rom and then i can flash!

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Yep as long as i've read you can download as long as your on official ROM. You might lose your root but you can just re-root again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afnant:
no I've never rooted it/flashed it

running ICS 4.0.4

bought it sealed (hence brand new) from local service provider (etisalat)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
What is it exactly that causes the modified status trigger?

Is it only rooting that does it or is it custom recovery?

I could have sworn that I had both custom recovery and root with a status as "normal" on several previous ROMs, but the latest LIB (which, like always, I flashed via Mobile Odin and rooted that way) has given me a "modified" status.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daflex86:
When you upgrade in cwm the status does not change but it does via Mobile Odin. To remove first use triangle away to flash the counter. Then flash stock rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfribeiro:
I rooted with CF Root and applied successfully triangle away to reset flash counter. As expected, Device status was MODIFIED. I have wipe data/factory reset in recovery and status changed to normal. But after I installed some apps from Play Store and register phone on Samsung, status changed again to Modified!!!

Confused!!! I wonder why?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
/system/app/SysScope.{apk,odex} (there's a native component - libcordon.so - too so you can't just run SysScope.apk through baksmali and hope for the best) will scan your phone and check for binaries that shouldn't be there, like "su" and "busybox". I read somewhere that it also looks at the running processes and finding a process running as root (possibly ADB if you're running a kernel that includes an insecure version of it) that is not in its list of approved processes will also change the status to modified.

In your case, since you didn't wipe /system by reflashing a stock ROM and unrooting, SysScope will still find the su binary. It was probably just coincidental that it happened to say your phone was modified after registering as SysScope is very slow to scan when it's being run for the first time after its /data/data folder has been removed (it stores its findings, I believe, so that it doesn't scan your phone on each startup)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfribeiro:
Thanks for your explanation. Finally I understood...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jl1990:
I don't get it yet. I have samsung official rom, but i want it rooted. Is that possible?

Because if there is a scanner that checks randomly and changes your status, obviously it's not possible.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zam1000:
I want an explanation of this with status = modified.

Can I have my device rooted and still gets the status normal?

I flashed the stock bootloader and stock recovery with Odin and then used the triangle away to reset the counter, it worked perfectly. I have samsung official, 0 count, no exclamation mark in the upper left corner. But still the device status says modified.

I would like to have my device rooted but with normal status. Does it work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulserr:
Status MODIFIED on new phone

It could be this..... I also had a NEW samsung s3 phone which worked fine for a couple of months. the "STATUS" was always normal. But after a recent and normal OTA process, the STATUS became MODIFIED and i could no longer initiate OTA. Luckily i have 2 samsung S3's and one samsung NOTE II for testing.

I was using a 64gb SANDISK ULTRA micro SD card (i had about 5 gig of data on that card). if i removed that 64gb card and then restarted the phone, the status was NORMAL and all was well. Reinserted the card and the MODIFIED problem came back. so i FORMATTED the 64mb card. then i restarted and the status was NORMAL. Then i added data to the card and restarted the phone. WHOOPS, again the status changed to MODIFIED.

NEXT TEST. i switched to a 32gb card from samsung. (its the only 32gb card i had). I formatted the 32gb card. STATUS was NORMAL. i then added data to the card and restarted the phone. The status was NORMAL.

Long story short, it appears that the primary issue is the micro SD card. In my opinion it is specific to the 64gb cards. I know that there were issues with 4.0 android operating sytems and 64gb cards and 4.1 solved that issue. but perhaps there is some leftover issues that have not been resolved.

Bottom line, change your SD card to 32mb and status should be normal. In the very worst case (in the event my solution does not work for you) you an remove the back cover of the phone and then remove the SD card. then restart the phone without the SD card. the status will return to NORMAL. then slip the SD card back in without restarting the phone. Your SD card will mount and function normally AND your status will still be NORMAL allowing you to do a normal OTA if you wish to do so.

> You can flash whatever kernels THAT ARE NOT MADE FOR TOUCHWIZ! I don't know exactly if the kernels you named are for touchwiz or for Cyanogen Mod (CM), but they split into TWO DISTINCT CATEGORIES.

TOUCHWIZ KERNELS

CYANOGEN MOD KERNELS

RESEARCH BEFORE YOU FLASH! I think there's a stickie post somwhere around here.

> You can use Carbon Tweaks Installer, it works amazing and it does make a sensitive difference

> The ROM is designed as a hybrid between Tablet and Phone. You can decide by hand which app will run in tablet mode and which will run in phone mode, depending on your preferences and so on.
