[Q] I have flashed stock but the it says "custom" in dowload screen? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to find this but I didn´t . So I have flashed to stock and made a factory reset but download screen still says I am using custom. Updating trough OTA doesn´t work, update says "device has been modified". Any ideas how can I fix this?
EDIT: I forgot to tell. I flashed a S III cwm accidentally into my S III mini first. I had to fix it with this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093727. It fixed all but this update/not official thing.

Do you have tried KIES?
(check your CSC *#1234* also)
Download and install with Odin a Stock room, then try to update/upgrade and reinstall it with Kies (will install the same rom... again and will not clear the rom counter, but it will say "oficial")

Also make sure to check that your baseband matches the build number ( last few digits )
I had that problem too when I put farias 4.1.2 V2 ROM on my phone
Had to go back to UK ROM 4.1.1 , and now I can receive updates
But phone is still rooted Etc
Hope this helps

In your specific case you need to re-flash a new recovery image and a new boot image , then flash the official rom or my V3.

How to re-flash ????? I have the same problem I have flashed stock but the it says "custom" in dowload screen?
Yes i flash s3 cwm I have this problemmmm :/ help

I also flashed rooted rom provided by avicohh and now when I try to check for updates it says your device is modified
He never cautioned in his post that flashing his rom would change it to Custom. Now I lost update capability. Very very sad

I reflashed same rom yesterday night and after that rom status was official as I able to check for updates even after number reboots. But today morning it has again started giving same pop up when checking for updates (your device has been modified. Software updates are not available).
What to do? Pls tell. Rooted just to get extra storage space for the apps and even that could not be done successfully!!

Hi..if you just want to get back official updates try flashing this rom http...://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Before that flash 2 files attached by him (Wipe & Param). I too get them back but I think while trying too hard to get swap working I might have messed up something thats why my firmware status again changed to Custom.
PS: Avoid busybox (personal opinion) 'cos that the only root app that I again installed and perhaps before that everything was fine.

They borked your phone by doing that. Samsung repair. You can try pit file followed by stock gb buts its hit or miss

[Q] Stockifying a GT-I9305(N)

I have used Triangle Away on XXBMA2 and the sboot it came with and while the flash counter is successfully reset, my system status flag is not, it keeps saying "custom" whatever I do with Triangle Away. Has anyone successfully stockified their I9305, and if so, which ROM and sboot? Does it even depend on sboot?
You need to do a complete wipe too.

Yes I have done that. I started on XXBMA2, rooted and stuff, used Triangle Away and before booting I went into download mode and flashed completely stock. After that didn't work I rooted again, used Triangle Away again, and again, before booting I flashed stock. The only thing being reset is the flash counter.
I think you doing something wrong. Take it easy, root first or use pre-rooted rom. Use TA and let it finish job, boot normally. Once you've done it, reboot to DL mode, use Odin to flash Stock ROM. Restart your phone, go to Back up & Reset section in menu, select Factory Reset and voila. Should be clean as New

Here is what I did on my Note 10.1:
Flashed ROM with correct CSC
Autorooted (Chainfire you know)
Ran TA
Before the device could boot entered recovery (on the phone you can pull the battery)
Did a full wipe
And all was virgin.
Just use this and all your problems will be solved...

Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.

Hi, i got a GT-I9305N too , you get system status flag as custom because your phone is still rooted, any modified changes in /system will make your system status as custom like su or busybox. In order to get system status flag to official, you need to reflash your phone with a stock rom with odin3 (Unroot the phone). Send me a private message and i'll link the right stock rom to you if you want, Comviq/tele2 rom if you bought the phone from them or nordic countries.

Baseband wouldn't work anyway, I need Perseus kernel for that to work, which is the whole reason why I am returning to stock (for service). The way I see it: as long as I can get the system status flag to say 'official' it doesn't matter how I do that because after I can flash any other official rom and the flag wont get touched, so I can return to my stock carrier rom anyway (which by the way is Tele2/Comviq as tico96 suggested).
Thanks for all the tips, I will give it another go tonight.
This is what I did just now:
While running XXBMA2 rooted and with Perseus kernel I applied Triangle Away
Rebooted straight into download mode (by holding home, vol down and power, should I be powering off normally first?)
Installed stock XXALIA
Cleared data
And the result?
Custom binary download: no
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: custom
Operating system status shows "modified"
Can someone honestly tell me they have been able to reset the system status flag on this hardware and also let me know exactly which ROM package they did it from and how they rooted etc. I don't care whether it is for I9305, I9305N or I9305T, radio working doesn't matter to me at all (because if radio has to work for it to revert to stock then I am ****ed either way).
I just want to return to system status: official or normal or whatever it is supposed to say.
Your non stock kernel is your problem. Just as soon as you boot with that you are "modified". Everything has to be stock kernel/recovery/CSC just with SU and you have to run TA and do a complete wipe before the system notice it's rooted. Then you are modified again.

Ok, so before running TA I have to have a stock kernel? But don't I need to reboot into a special mode if I have a secure kernel... meaning I end up booting a secure kernel to do the TA from anyway?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever run TA on a system with stock kernel and recovery... I always assumed that I could replace those directly after, perhaps the check is done when I go into download mode? Will try that tonight!

Help - Did I soft-brick my i9305???

Hello knowledgeable people!
I did a very stupid thing!... I took an official Samsung ROM package .tar.md5, remove the .md5 extension, extracted it, replaced boot.img with a custom kernel boot.img and re-compressed into a .tar package.
Then I took this .tar package and flashed it on the phone with Odin on my PC.
That didn't work, as expected.
The process blocked at one point.
I thought I will then just have to flash the Samsung official ROM to get everything back.
Well... not! I can flash the Samsung official ROM with Odin on my PC, but when the phone starts, it get stucked on bootloop on the glowing samsung logo.
I tried many things, including:
* wipe cache
* wipe data
but nothing worked...
At this point, I think I need to repartition/format everything and start from scratch but I don't know how to do this...
I tried to flash the Partition Identification Table kindly uploaded by @lyriquidperfection, but it didn't work (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950591) and it gets stuck in Odin as @narcarsiss mentions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33145970&postcount=2

Yes enter recovery after flashing with Odin.
When u power on hold volume up home key and power all at the same time release them when u see Samsung gt i9305 then wipe cach and wipe the other one. There are 2 wipe options.
Your phone should boot now it takes some time the first time around a minute.
Let me know if it worked
- flash stock Samsung ROM for your country with Odin

I fear sending S3 to Samsung for repair is the only way, unfortunately... This is what I will do tomorrow (in 10hrs from now) unless a white knight arrives on this thread and gives me the golden solution!
You havent mentioned what rom version you tried.
I guess you used 4.3 official?
I could only guess but ther is probably more then just boot.img containing Knox code.
Knox is hindering users from downgrading bootloader and that maight be your problem now.
You did not mention wich version you try to recover to either.
So if you try with the old 4.1.2 it may be impossible.
Perhaps you need the newest official rom to get it working.

Okey
A bit far feched but is it possible your download is broken? Try DL again.
And either it is or not you could try installing 4.3 from different region as yours. Just to try every possability.
It shouldnt be impossible to fix this stupid phone
You dont have any nandroid backup some where.
Last option. Throw it on a brick wall to release som aggrevation and then you buy a Nexus 5. Problem solved.

I had a brick once, butthe situation was a bit different. I have knox bootloader and tried to downgrade to a 4.1.2 rom without the bootloader package. The flash went ok, but my phone was stucked on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 screen. After that, i was quite desperate and tried to reflash stock 4.3 via odin, but it failed :S
Then i tried to flash official Germany's 4.3 again, this time with the ODIN version inside CF-Root package (http://download.chainfire.eu/232/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.zip?retrieve_file=1), put the cable in another USB port, killed every kies proccess and rebooted phone in dowwnload mode. This time the flash went ok, i rebooted the phone into recovery (got bootloop) and wipe cache and factory reset. After this the phone booted up normally. Hope you can fix your phone

How did you create the ball pack of "4.1.2 rom without the bootloader" - in other words: how did you remove the bootloader from there?

I'd used this tutotial (just the part of commands, added everything that the original ".md5" has, removing just the "sboot.img", i'm not 100% sure if this is the only file to be off the new package, as i said, didnt work for me ), the only difference is that i'm using cygwin instead of linux itself, it worked like a charm
Basically all u need to do is unpack a original .md5 firmware (use winrar or so) and move the files (except sboot.img) to your home directory of linux or, in my case, cygwin (originally C:\cygwin\home\user-name), start the console and type the command bellow, switching the ".imgs" to match yours, of course:
Code:
cd $HOME
tar -H ustar -c image_1 image_2 > your_odin_package.tar
After this you must have a 1Gb+ .tar file (considering you will make a stock samsung flashable), now you will add md5 checksum to that, just to avoid troubles:
Code:
md5sum -t your_odin_package.tar >> your_odin_package.tar
mv your_odin_package.tar your_odin_package.tar.md5
and voilà, you have your flashable odin package. Of course you can try making one with just the system.img, boot.img and modem.img. If the phone boots up, do a factory reset. I have no idea if this will work in any occasion having knox bootloader trying to flash official 4.1.x, but you can also try with a samsung 4.3 rom.
In the last scenario, try to CF auto-root your phone, then flash an official CWM recovery via odin using this method i told u, boot into recovery and flash a custom rom, do a factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik cache. I hope one of the options work for you.
I'd recommend trying to flash a custom recovery and then a custom rom. If phone boots up and is functional, try to flash samsung official 4.3 again (if your desire is having the stock of course), not forgeting to factory reset via cwm first to avoid troubles.
Been in maybe like pratically the same situation
1st flash philz touch recovery ( install latest version)
2nd backup ur efs in external sd and copy it to a pc just in case (important if u mess up imei )
3rd Copy and rom in the external sd
4th Wipe data,cache,dilvik
5th In mount and storage Format everything except external sd ( u can backup ur internal sd card with 3rd step)
6th Flash Rom and reboot
7th If no imei then try a newer modem

I think you need a custom recovery installed such as TWRP to disable dm-verity, but don't quote me on it.

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock rom and you're trying to use the stock recovery... dm_verity goes hand in hand with the official rom, you can see this if you go into download mode, you would see binary would say something like "samsung official" system status would say something like "original" or "official". You can find this in smart switch > more > emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization.
Why is using TWRP not possible? Please elaborate, what rom are you running? I think 3rd party recovery is necessary to bypass this issue in all cases when using unofficial rom.
I would suggest initializing your device via smart switch, make sure to back up everything if you can as it will be lost, however, I think that it should resolve the issue entirely. Initialization if you can't boot into stock rom, you will need to enter download mode and in smart switch type the model number and then the serial number, it should initiate then.
You could try waiting for someone who knows their stuff, but initialization via smart switch (not just the image pulled from sammobile which leaves some files out) is probably the way to go, IMO. I'm just a novice, but I'm the only one that's replied, so hopefully some others can chime in and say if I'm giving you bad advice.

You will always fail dm-verity in stock recovery on a modified device.
It's pointless trying to OTA on a modified device. It will fail.
To update you need to flash the stock firmware with odin in DOWNLOAD mode not RECOVERY.

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock rom and you're trying to use the stock recovery... dm_verity goes hand in hand with the official rom, you can see this if you go into download mode, you would see binary would say something like "samsung official" system status would say something like "original" or "official". You can find this in smart switch > more > emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization.
Why is using TWRP not possible? Please elaborate, what rom are you running? I think 3rd party recovery is necessary to bypass this issue in all cases when using unofficial rom.

Then use flashfire to install the stock rom. It will install everything except the bootloader.

You don't need a PC. Just install supersu with twrp.

Then there's nothing you can do. You either need root, twrp or odin.
I have a similar problem, dm+verity verification failed in stock recovery but I have not rooted or installed any other firmware.
So my questions are
1. Has someone else installed it without my knowledge?
2. Has someone installed something through adb sideload without my knowledge?
3. Have i deleted something I shouldnt have?
4. When i go into stock recovery and before i choose what to such as "recovery logs" if i hold down the home/finger print button for about 2 secs the highlighted colour changes from blue to green, is this normal?
Thanks in advance

stuck in bootloop, i have no history about what happened before

hi guys, a friend of mine gave e this samsung galaxy tab S2 SM-T715 32GB that is stuck on bootloop, he said nothing about what he has done to it (sadly) all i know is that it's stuck in bootloop and it's impossible to access the recovery... what i've tried so far is this:
- find a TWRP and flash it with odin v3.14, which works but when the tablet reboots it's stuck on bootloop and i can't access the recovery
- find and flash an older version of the TWRP that's for the android 5.1 stock rom, flashed in and worked, though i can't access it after the reboot
- find and flash the latest OFFICIAL rom which works because when i get into the download mode i see "samsung official" on "binary" and not "custom" as it was after the previous tries
if anyone has an idea about what i should do please help me ^^ the tab is still in good condition and would be a waste to throw in the garbage tbh

Might be worth a try to flash several times one after another.
Sometimes I read it helps.

flashed back to back 4 times, nothing changed sadly
Try perhaps with Frija in place of samfirm and perhaps with heimdall (under Linux but also windows I think) in place of Odin.

did you fix yours?
I have the same model and finally fixed(its been > 3hrs so far) mine by formatting ALL partitions in TWRP, then installing 5.0.2.

mine is still up >30 hrs so looking promising. I've been working on it for 8 months or more. Thinking back, looking at the flash in "edl mode" guide . . .
[GUIDE] How to dump and write back the storage on most of Qualcomm devices
This is a generic guide that could be suitable for many Qualcomm based devices, once the phone can be triggered to EDL mode. To make sure this guide will work as expect, following requirements are needed: - Know how to trigger the phone to EDL...

. . maybe this is how I should have done it, but mine was stable in download mode.
In the end this is what I did ymmv.
flash back to 5.0.2stock with heimdall,
flashing twrp3.1.0-1, format internal partitions,
reflash 5.0.2stock, & twrp3.1.0-1.
edit: after 1 day it is rebooting again. groan.
