[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanide911:
I bought a Galaxy Note II off a friend's friend yesterday. Loving it, but there's one issue. If I try to update it via Settings->About, I get the error "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available". And the device's status is 'Modified' in Settings->About.

What can be the cause of this? I got this phone in factory resetted condition, and I've factory resetted it myself as well. So it's unrooted now. I'm not sure if it was unrooted before I got it, or about any other modifications actually.

Can you guys help me here, I just want to check whether my warranty still exists or not. Or did the guy I buy it from do something to void the warranty? There must be some way to check. Because this error is still a mystery according to this 10 page thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1947305), and I'm probably going to visit the service center.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Did you ever root it ?

If not it can't be factory rooted under any conditions.

Go into download mode and check there.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanide911:
No I didn't root it, but the guy I bought it from might have rooted it and then factory resetted it before giving it to me.

What does this mean? It can't be factory rooted? And what is download mode?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Was it sealed when you got it ?

Also many people report this issue.

And if it was some official store then 1% chance that you received it rooted.

If it was not some official store then return it to the guy you got it from. He'll know what to do.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note2grey:
How bout you try going into download mode.. see if everything is official and binary count is 0 or 1? I forgot
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Binary counter should be 0.

Turn off your phone.

Then hold home and vol down and power button.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanide911:
No as I mentioned I got it from a friend's friend, it's around 10-15 days used. So if he rooted it, and then factory resetted it to hide it, my warranty would be void? No way to undo it?

Yep everything seems official, it looks like this one:

http://galaxynote2root.com/wp-conte...nary-counter-rooted-galaxynote2-8-690x366.jpg

So my warranty is intact? What else could be causing this issue of status coming as 'Custom' in the Settings->About?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Some modifications to system partition.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPTPenguin:
Here's what you do:

You boot into download mode (volume down+home+power) and check. Check every stat and tell them to us. Here are the ones for a 100% unmodified device: CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO, CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL, SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL (in your case, system status is likely to not be normal)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
Re: I cant boot my phone help PLEASE

Cm roms need you to flash kernel provided inside zip... Anyhow you have unlocked bootloader right? Just flash a kernel... You will get cwm... From there just flash any stock based rom or restore your backup...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zero33:
sorry but if i can boot into cwm im gonna use my backup but i cant, also flashtool says device in mtp mode so i cant use flashtool :confused: :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
Re: I cant boot my phone help PLEASE

So only flash a kernel... You will get cwm back... You were on gb before flashing right? So flash night elf gb kernel...

Hi!

I seem to have a little problem with this port. All apps works fine, even the currency converter. But when I add more apps from the list it just stays until reboot. Then they're gone... Its just the calculator, the timer, the notes and the sound recorder that sticks. The basic ones. The new ones I have to re-add after reboot. Any idea about that? Besides that, great work! :thumbup:

Hi, guys!!!

I have a problem with mobile network. It totally doesn't work!

On ICS or JB mobile network settings come automatically and you can start browsing immediately after flashig new rom, even I can register my account on the first starting of the phone.

On this mod, settings don't come automatically and I wrote settings several times after each flashing of this mod.

I tried everything:

flashed modems: ubls1, xxlrk, xxlso, xxls1 etc. ;

flashed on clear stock rom;

even clear kernel with script from xda-developers;

Everything is PERFECT in this rom!!!! Many many thanks for developers, I really appreciate for this rom!!! I have never seen before such fast and understandable rom!!!

But I tired with my mobile network problem, that's why I am writing here...

A couple of days ago, received a message that an upgrade of my OS from 4 to 4.0.4 [Build 4.1.B.0.587] was avail.

So used PC companion and did the upgrade successfully.

The visual improvements are nice - some changes to email and viewing contacts log need getting used to though in general I think this release is still a bit buggy. BBC Iplayer has stopped working. I thought it might have been the case that Adobe flash needed to be re-installed so I have done that but still no joy, sometimes the phone freezes.

Has anybody done the upgrade on this phone [Xperia Mini Pro] and experienced these problems with a resolution perhaps?

Thanks

"Those, who fail to read history are bound to repeat its mistakes"

People here have and did and will fail to read the things here and many did and many probably will have to lose their devices. You don't have to lose a device to get knowledge inbetween your ears.You don't have to be stupid. You surely can learn from your mistakes. But There's a better way. You can learn from others mistakes. This thread is a compilation of such mistakes ,that I personally have done and many others ,who did and their solutions aka The easy ways.

So, officially I congratulate you for finding this thread and reading Upto here. So, even if you don't read the whole thread, these are the main stuff you must know is

1. Rooting is a dangerous process -done by developers only. If you did root your device, you assume full responsibility for your device. So, if you can't think like one of the developers at least partly, I suggest you don't root your device ,coz when you mess up, the one who deviced the procedure or Rom will not help you. And everything you find here is in "AS IS " tag.

2.If you have rooted, next thing you must do is backup-

Go to recovery,

go to backup and restore

click backup.

I find it strange that this is not included in the root procedure. This surely would've helped a lot of Picos out there.

3.NEVER DO A RUU

-It unanimously holds the number ONE title for the major causes of bricking of Picos.

Trust me -Surely you can save your device, without the ruu. And with ruu, you're bound to fail without proper knowledge and research.

The only time you are suggested by experts to do a ruu is when you have already done a ruu "and" bricked it.

4. Overclocking here may cause burnt nand. -know what Rom you're using-it may have built in-overclock .

However, overclocking doesn't necessarily produce burnt-nand for all devices.

5.Finally, Not all answers you receive in the question and answer thread are good. Some answers will kill your device. So please judge the credibility of the answerer before you follow the answers. Generally, you could track back their previous answers and their working. Thanks meter is a good source of credibility -but not always -Not all who have big thanks record are helpful neither are they knowledgeable-There are spammers, who trick people into giving thanks.Do your home work before you trust a stranger. Recognized developer title is a good source of credibility.

The above five should save you a lot of trouble.

Ever in trouble? Drop by and read.

Do your googling,if you don't understand anything here.Have a great time !
