Running Cleanrom 5.0 with Imoseyon Kernel. I enabled USB fast charging, at some point I plugged in my external HHD to the phone and guessing that fast charge was still enabled, the phone shut off right when I connected the hard drive. Now it wont boot. Tried different charger, battery and so on. Anyone heard of this happening before? Maybe a fix?

Hi there. I am having, what seems like, loads of problems with my phone at the minute!! Now apart from my other problems which I have (in my other thread, if you can help?) I have/had a photo that was on my home & lock screen but somehow managed to delete it from my home screen?? It is however still on my lock screen! Now where is the location of this photo? I cannot find it anywhere on my phone (gallery or in files?) it is not saved on my Dropbox either? I do not know if TB as backed it up or not? I need to restore my phone because of the other problems I have but I don't want to lose this photo, so I cannot restore my phone! Can anyone help me please as it is a photo of my two little boys? Where do I need to look, for the file?

Thanks in advance

Anyone know what I can do please?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishy12i:
1. Take a screenshot in your lockscreen. ( Power Button + Home Button )

2. Cut the unwanted parts.

3. Done

:highfive:

Good News

:D The good news is I have managed to find my photo!!! I had backed it up via Kies quite a while back on my old computer then backed up my old pc up onto an external hard drive! So after loads of searching I managed to find the file & reinstalled Kies on to my new pc. I now have my photo back!

The moral of this story has got to be #back up your photos# you just never know what can happen? I still don't know how I managed to lose this particular photo????

A very happy

Hey guys,

I have a galaxy note that works fine when flashing a new rom but after installing a few apps and a while after if i reboot my phone it get stuck at the GT-N7000 screen, i also notice when im installing the new rom it gets half way and then says its complete, please help???

i tried sweetrom (which the issue started) then ultimate JB v5 rom and samething.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nokiamodeln91:
Are you doing a full wipe before installing the new rom.?

Go to mounts and storage and

Format/system & data before installing new rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mafioso345:
Hey yep i do this:

factory reset

wipe dalve cache

format system

format data

and it still does it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] squicky:
Not all recoveries are working the same (don't care what other people think about it). Flash Abyss 4.2 Red Pill kernel ->Reboot Recovery (if the Recovery is red you know it's the right one). In this recovery do all wipes and then flash your preferable TouchWiz ROM. Be aware that you use Red Pill only for wiping. It's GB kernel so you wouldn't launch ICS or JB ROMs with this kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mafioso345:
ill try it, when installing the JB rom they usually flash to the philz kernal so the redpill one should automatically go away i guess.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rodoo:
do 3 factory reset and then format system, format data and format preload to work. if you do only once, it have that bug. Every LSA ROM have that bug if you are coming from LS7 or ICS builds

[Q] S3 device status detected as "modified" after JB update yesterday night.

First let me say that my Galaxy SIII was not rooted before the update. It's been running full stock rom.

I've done the Jelly Bean update yesterday night through Kies while my phone was connected to my computer.

Update was perfect until I tried the software update app to check if there was anything left to install.

At this moment, I had a message telling me that my phone was modified and updates will not work (I don't remember the exact message).

If I go to Settings, About device, Status... Device Status is "modified".

Again, I don't have anything on my phone to root my device.

So what I tried next... removing my microsd card (64GB Sandisk microSDXC) and reboot my phone. Now, Device status is "Normal".

Put it back again... reboot... and Device status is again "modified".

Format the card... reboot... Device status is Normal.

Put everything back (55GB of music only synched through iSyncr wifi with my Mac)... reboot... Device Status "modified".

So it really looks like that the thing that Samsung uses to detect the "modified" state of the phone is broken in some way because it's detecting my media files (mp3 and m4a) as some sort of modification to the phone... this is completely wrong!!

Am I the only one with this problem?

I will try this week to reduce the amount of music file to see if there is anything that broke the detection system... I will report later if I find anything.

By the way, I found a similar thread with a similar problem... but this thread did not offer any solution and it looks like to be close as I cannot add anything to it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
That's very weird because I was rooted using the method in my sig and my device status showed modified as well. I was able to install the update just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
I was also able to install the update... the status was "normal" before the update...

the issue I have now is it says "modified" even if I did not modify anything in my phone.

I did the test again this morning... I removed all the music file on my card... device status is back to normal.

It must be one of my music file that triggers this detection... if it's in fact the case, it means that there is a bug in the detection that Samung have implemented.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
Yeah, that is very odd. I'd organize all your files on our SD Card into folders and move them to your PC. Then copy one folder at a time over to the SD card and see which one triggers the phone to show a Modified status. Then you can narrow it down from there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
this is exactly what I'm going to do... I will also try to logcat command through adb ... I might be able to find something in the log.

I will let everyone know as soon as I find the cause of this problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Yea mine was modified going into the ota update it updated fine then after when you checked software update it said it was modified and that updates were no longer available
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
This is so weird, after my OTA completed yesterday I tried to check for updates again and it just told me I was on the latest version. Now when I check it gives me the modified error.

Blargh. Ahh well, It's not like we're going to be seeing another update anytime soon, unless it's a patch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
are you rooted after updating?

maybe you can do like what I've did (remove microsd card), reboot and see if you still have this "modified" status/message.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
I did restore root after updating. I'll have to temporarily remove root, restart and see what it says then. I'll try to do that later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
I suspect that they are checking not just the presence of "rooting" app in the system folder, but also other "rooting" files anywhere else on the phone... I'm sure they do this because just by removing my microsd card, even if the only files present were music and jpg file, the status went from modified to normal.

So a temp unroot might not necessarily fix this problem for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
Hmm, hopefully the answer surfaces from one of the devs soon.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yulet:
I have ROOT but my Device Status is Normal :eek:

Sent from my SGH-I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
which su binary are using (supersuser or supersu)?

I think that supersu has an option to hide the root availability... is this the one that you are using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] howlingmoon12:
Sam here, as far as I can tell it wasn't as a result of the SD card. It was fine when I had stock unrooted Rogers ALH1, but it changed to modified when I flashed the root injected Rogers ALH1 for the no counter trip thread, and it was in ODIN too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acloaf:
I'm also rooted on the JB update and status shows normal. I'm using supersu but can't find an option to hide. With rooted ics it always showed modified.

I wasn't sure if it was connected to the flash counter in some way since I'm not at 0 anymore but apparently that's not the case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caha2639:
It's all based upon files in /system ALSO flash counter.

Modified, meh.

Just if you DO NOT root and updated to

JB 4.1

and it now shows modified...that's weird.

Yet most of the time when you flash to a rooted version and it says modified thats cause of /system files and flash counter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
My phone has a stock rom and flash counter is 0.

This morning, I had all my music files on my microsd card... Status was modified. I removed all files, reboot... Status normal. Yes this is weird.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tvf_tez_e:
I have the same weird problem too. I bought my phone 4-5 days ago from a famous shop. It was totally new and unused, never rooted, never flashed anything, no simlock, no root required app installed AND no sdcard. These days it is mostly Modified, rarely it turns to Normal after restarting the device...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
I don't know what was really going on... I removed one song, got the "Normal" status. I removed some other files, got "modified". ReAdd the first file that was removed, got the "Normal" status again.

What I've decided to do is put my memory card in my MacBook Pro. I got an error that the card wasn't readable. My MacBook is supposed to support SDXC standard with and extFAT formated card... so it looks like that my card had a problem. I decided to reformat the card with FAT32 even if SDXC card are supposed to be extFAT. I put the card back into my phone. I synched all music files.... and I got the "normal" status again. I modified my playing list in iTunes... I synched again... status stil shown as "normal".

So I don't know what was the problem exactly... I suppose that the file system on the card was damaged in some way... but I really do not know what caused this problem at first.

Anyway it works fine now... so this is the most important thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
I got the "modified" status again...

And now I know exactly why... but I don't have a solution.

It looks like that there is some kind of process scanning the microSDXC card when the phone is booting (the process that scans the card to make sure the state is ok)... and I'm getting the "modified" status right after that this process has finished his job.

If I remove the card before booting the phone... and insert it when the phone has finished booting... the "normal" status will be shown.

And I'm not the only one with this problem... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810450&page=2 (I just found this thread)

Now is there a way to get in touch with Samsung to eventually get this problem fixed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] maxximuscool:
AhhhA! Same issue here. I format the phone, wipe data, wipe cache and install official ROM many times. The Device Status still saying "Modified" in About.

But it is saying Official in Download mode.

Just wiped it again and still the same. Did what you said by removing memory card out and voila it is now say "Device Status: Normal".

:laugh:

F*******K! Costing me 3hours for nothing. lol.

Now I know why.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
and by the way, don't loose your time with Samsung email or chat support... they will tell you to try everything that you already did... and at the end, they will tell you to call to contact their advanced technical support.

I might try this... but this is frustrating when the phone is supposed to fully support 64GB card.

do you have a 64GB full of files too?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] maxximuscool:
Yeah my MicroSD card is SanDisk 64GB Class10 and it is working properly. I have no issues with memory card support at all. I'm currently using Poland firmware 4.1.2. Rooted and operational.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tvf_tez_e:
I contacted with some Samsung support centers and they said that factory reset after OTA update will fix the issue. I've also tried everything, flashed official rom, performed factory reset, removed sd card etc. etc. like most of you. None of them helped but this factory reset after OTA method REALLY works.

Steps I did are:

- Downloading OTA update and applying it,

- Performing factory reset and formatting sd card in options menu,

- Restarting in Recovery mode and performing wipe data and cache.

I did it a couple weeks ago and waited a while to share in here. During this time, I restarted the device several times, plugged/unplugged sd, install/remove apps etc. And now it's still in "Normal" and never changed to "Modified" even 1 time (thank god, finally). Btw I'm also using 64gb sd and there are several musics, videos and images in it.

The strange thing is, they said: "We recommend all our customers to perform factory reset after each OTA update". Yeah, it sounds really stupid. We hope they find a permanent solution asap because its nonsense to loose datas that cannot be saved without root access after every update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
I already tried this... It worked at first... But after filling my microSDXC card with music files, my phone crashed for some reason... I had reformat the card in my computer... But after putting the card in the phone and filling it again, I got the same "modified" problem.

The solution I'm "using" right now, is putting the same amount of files that I would be able to put on a 32GB card... It's the only solution that will work 100% of the time.

Right now, how much files do you have on your card?

If you fill it with a lot of 5-10mb files, you will probably get the problem again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tvf_tez_e:
Currently a Samsung class10 64gb microSDXC is plugged in my device. There are hundreds of mp3s, almost 50 avi videos, almost 100 pictures and a couple pdf files in it.

Storage menu in options says:

Total space 58.56GB,

Available 45.63GB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
The problem is not the total space occupied by files... It's the number of files and folders on the card.

I also have a class 10 64GB microsdxc card.

I've done a lot of tests... I tried everything...

I can fill my card with big avi files... And the problem will never show up.

Right now, I have over 2200 folders/sub-folders and over 4400 files (mostly mp3, m4a and jpg album art )... Total of 26GB and it works fine. I can add some big avi files to fill the remaining space on the card and it will still work fine. But if I add some smaller files, it will eventually stop working at some point... Well before the card is full.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AugisAugis:
I had the same problem. My device had modified status after update. What i noticed is that stock internet browser was using sd card as default download destination. I chnaged the settings of internet browser so it would save files to phone memory. After that my device status chamged to normal. I dont know if thats the solution but it helped me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
Thanks for the tip... I tried it and it did not change anything for me...

The only solution so far is to reduce the number of files that I have on my microsdxc card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tvf_tez_e:
after more than two months of "normal status" usage, my device is changed to "modified" again..

i didn't even use my sdcard for a month, i just took "1" pic today via its native camera and here we are: MODIFIED

although i listened the all tips of samsung technical service, the reason is the same now.... there is no word to tell how i'm angry for all samsung staff and employers who make me hate my device right now..

please make them read this thread or i'll start crushing my beloved s3 very soon, our patience is really over...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
I'm in the same situation... My phone us showing status... Reboot... Get the modified status.... Reboot again, normal is back.

I tried calling the support... And the only the told me is to restore the phone and reformat the card (I already tried all that).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intub8:
There is no reason to be worried. When you flash an ota the package from Samsung is modified. That's why it changes. It is simply the carriers modified update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
what are you talking about?

It does not have anything to do with the carrier modification or anything like that.

When the status is shown as modified, we can not do the OTA update... the software update tells us that the phone is modified and updates can not be checked/downloaded.

If I reboot, I might get the "normal" status. If Iremove the sd card and reboot, I will ALWAYS get the "normal" status.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgkahn:
you probably have superuser or su in some download directory on your card
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
No I don't have superuser, supersu or su anywhere on the card or in my phone.

I even removed all the files that might have those words in their file name.

I think that the process that check the card might take too much time to do its job where there are a lot of files. And because of that, the other process that check if the phone is modified is giving a false positive.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tvf_tez_e:
This situation is deeper than root/superuser/cwm or any other damn things. Not about carrier neither. I tried most kind of those customizations on my "previous" S3 and couldnt fix this normal/modified status issue. I thought it was my fault and had to sell it and bought a new one.

Now I get the same problem in my new device too! And the weird thing is: my new current device is not carrier branded, it's open for all network and sim cards, I never tried any illegal feature, never flashed a rom, never installed super user, never rooted or anything else. (Please check our older posts in this thread, its boring to write same sentences again and again...)

So as a reason, there is kind a stupid unstability problem in our devices and not even "genius" guys in samsung knows a solution, that's all...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgkahn:
solution.. root it...then it should say modified and it won't annoy you. you can then flash cwm recovery and nice routed roms like the Canadian one I am using so I get tethering and internet calling back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tvf_tez_e:
Thanks, but it doesn't sould like a solution at all. This is my second S3 and will be the last. I'll never flash anything in it, never break its originality and never do anything to revoke its warranty. I just want to use it as an ordinary user and this normal/modified issue needs to be fixed by samsung.

There are many users who have the same problem, so maybe we can find a proper way to "fix" it. Personally I don't intend to bypass it and keep on using an unstable device..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nex86:
I own an GT-I9300 and have exactly the same issue.

The problem is the TIME after every boot to check the MicroSD for errors.

on exfat it takes longer to check the filesystem when you have a lot of files on the sdcard.

the device status check checks any devices for suspicious files. the SD card is not accessible during the scan progress.

So it accidently declares the system status do modified due to a bug.

Solution: copy all files from the SD card to your computer, reformat the SDcard in fat32 and copy all files back. this helps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
Re: [Q] S3 device status detected as "modified" after JB update yesterday night.

I already tried to format my sd card to fat32... It helps a lot... But at some point, I got the same problem... I can put more files before I get the problem... But I will eventually have it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nex86:
works well for me now. Even with root.

the reason I have so many files is because I moved my games to the sdcard und remount the directories with directory bind.

But I also wanted to use exfat because of movies...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
Re: [Q] S3 device status detected as "modified" after JB update yesterday night.

I tried it again yesterday... And it's fine now...

Last time I tried it, my card became unreadable after a crash of the phone when I was trying to read some file on my computer while my phone was connected with a usb cable.

Will see now if if I get the same problem later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nex86:
well that's the biggest weakness of fat32. the worse stability.

Anyway, I contacted Samsung about the problem. They told me to temporary remove the SDcard in order to make an OTA update.

otherwise the changed status wouldn't be bad and doesn't matter since the phone itself isn't modified (well in my case it is but they didn't know :p).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tvf_tez_e:
Thanks for the tips, I'm using a Samsung class10 64gb microSDXC but FAT32 wasn't available when I connect it with my pc :) Only NTFS and exFAT were there. So I performed a full format with exFAT file system but didn't help. System status is still unstable in device. Any suggestion?

(btw if I remember correctly, FAT32 had limits like max 4gb per file etc. do you get such limitations?)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
it didn't last very long...

my phone took a 50% battery hit last night.

I rebooted the phone (power off and power on) in the morning to make sure everything was fine... the process that scans the card took a lot of time to complete (more than usual)... and after it finished working, the card was not accessible... it was unmounted automatically... I tried to mount it and the phone rebooted itself.

I removed the card... put it into my laptop and the card was not readable...

So I'm back to square one... I reformatted my card with extFAT. It always worked with this format except for the "modified" status.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zadigre:
Re: [Q] S3 device status detected as "modified" after JB update yesterday night.

I found something interesting today... After 24h of uptime, status will go back to normal by itself... If I reboot the phone, it will go back to modified.
