[Q] (Q) Device status Custom...from OTA?? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

So I have a rather interesting situation. I got my phone through preorder like many others did, and got a 27th stability update right away. I installed it, used the device for a while. Later in the day I went into download mode to see if my phone said anything about being bootloader- locked.
The funny thing is that now, device status shows as custom, and updates fail due to "unauthorized" changes, which were never made
So my question: can that be fixed without wiping device? What do u think triggered that? Booting into DL even if I didn't do anything else?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Bump

Did you root the device yet?

Welp. If you switch to art runtime it's "unauthorized " I just switched back to dalvik and all of a sudden I'm up to date when I check .

How do I stop the OTA update?

I'm on stock/locked 2.04, and just got the 2.06 OTA notification last night. I postponed it, but the latest it would allow was 4/22. How do I stop the OTA from installing at that time?
Apologies if this has been answered before, I did do a forum search but all I could come up with was, "Flash a different ROM!". As such, that's not really an option on the table at this point.
That's interesting I wonder if there's a deadline or that's just the max amount of days you can postpone at a time.

This should probably be under question and answer area. It won't let me defer update past the 22nd like you mentioned but I just hit reject and good to go.

I don't have the option to reject; it only allows me to install or defer. Ack.
No prob Eak just a mistake. That's weird you don't have the option to reject I'll see if I can take a snap shot.

TBH.. that's the first time I've ever seen "Reject" as an option for an OTA. I've only seen install or defer, with the mentioned deadline of when the install is required. Since I'm rooted, I just rename/delete '/etc/security/otacerts.zip' and freeze/delete '/system/app/Updater.apk'. After that, a cache wipe and you won't see the annoying popup anymore.

It is strange that we're presented with different options. Well, I sent my baby off for JTAG today so hopefully it'll be a moot point when she gets back. My only concern would be if it installs itself on 4/22 and somehow jacks up the SOFF abilities. Probably paranoia, but sometimes with OTA it pays to be paranoid. :fingers-crossed:
nah it won't hinder JTAG

I got that option today too and defered until the 24th but just now it started popping up saying that the update would start in 30 seconds. I hit back and it kept coming up. I disabled wifi, mobile data, and sync then restarted the phone and then it popped up again. Only option to close the screen was [ok]. Definitely not liking the fact that this update is forced no matter what.

Hmm, after it finished downloading it went back to the same prompt offering to install or defer. I picked defer so we will see how long it lasts this time.

It has come up multiple times for me as well, each time allowing to defer at least until the 24th.
The update more than likely only tried to fix sim detection issues.
Good thing stock is very reliable on the DNA. If you're an addicted flasher you might want to consider the JTAG service.
What just happened to me, I set defer to 12/31/13 phone said no so I set it to max date and hit Ok, and it started running right then with the 30 second count down. I shut down my phone then re powered it up, on restart the reject option showed up and I hit that.

So if I want any chance of rooting I have to keep deferring the 2.06 update until someone hopefully makes root possible for 2.04?

There is no exploit for 2.04, therefore nobody can say definitively that an exploit for 2.04 would work for 2.06. Seems a lot of people have given up on an exploit ever being found. However the bounty thread reaching close to $1k seems to be generating more interest in the possibility.

Yeah I mean as far as 2.06 I know it's pretty much a lost cause. I was thinking that once rooted and after flashing a ROM the update message would go away.

Went to some other settings and wiped out couple of things? Sounds like you have no nandroid backup? If not you will need to download your stock firmware and get your device into download mode and reflash that stock firmware using odin. Your device will be as it was from the factory its very important to read and have a Clear understanding of your device and its firmware all things must line up and match. Do your homework READ READ READ if your not sure what your doing you can pm me.

You don't use odin. That's for Samsung phones.
Is the phone originally an AT&T model?

I realized what I had said about odin after the fact. He has no backup. He could put a rom on his phone on a micro sd and set it up that way but his boot image is old non running and damaged. And he no file to setup from on his internal.

Have you clicked okay. . To have it check for what it is warning you about? Have you downloaded any new apps before getting the warning? I myself would probably take it back to. .. sprint. . BestBuy.. wherever purchased. I've not heard of this on stock unrooted device. I tried googling this but again, everything seems to be directed towards...mods..rooting.
But there are many knowledgeable people on here. . I'm sure someone can help you more than I can.

The Knox referred to here is a hardware/firmware that is on the Note 3, and the 2014 Note tab(Galaxy Tab). It is an efuse, meaning that if you try normal rooting, you permanently blow the fuse, thus rendering your warranty void, and possibly bricking/soft bricking your device. Google!:good:
I have the same annoying pop up stock completely virgin and can't figure out the app either so I factory reset and it keeps popping up, all my apps are from Play Store most Google apps, Facebook And Twitter all trusted apps not a single one sideloaded. So I had to check don't show it for next 30 days to make it go away.
Also anyone having the same but with Samsung Account constantly asking to verify password for security measures? Had to disable all Samsung cloud services and Samsung apps to make it go away. Annoying as hell.

Getting this annoying prevention information since the mj4 update. I should have stayed on mi5. This did not happen on mi5. Hopefully they'll release an update to fix this. I checked do not show for 30 days to get rid of it for now. Stock and unrooted btw.
Just a follow up with this. My friend just got a note 3 that came with the MJ4 update and it showed the same thing. No installed apps other than stock and not even connected to the play store. So it is something that came with MJ4

Per Sprint, on the Sprint forum, a fix is coming. This is an erroneous message. Of course, the party line is don't root, don't this, don't that...
At least there is a fix coming.

ClockworkMod MJ7

I rooted my MJ7 with a walkthrough from rootjunky.com also listed on here on XDA. It worked great. I was looking at installing ClockworkMod and ROM Manager. I installed ROM manager and it said that I needed to installed CWM and showed my device and presented me with 3 options. I dont know which to choose. I also dont know if this will trigger Knox to trip the flag and lock me out of the system. I was thinking about freezing knox and trying it but dont want to ruin anything just yet. Any Ideas?
If you're on a Verizon S4 with mj7 like I am...
You're screwed no custom recovery for it.

So what happens if we try to flash it, triggers the security flag and locks the phone out?
Well I'm not sure exactly what it'll do. Whether it bricks the phone or triggers Knox, I just know it won't work unfortunately. You'd have to do what I'm planning on doing and grab an S4 with MDK so you can have custom recovery etc.
For now its just root!

How do you actually check for the Knox flag? I have looked on the googs and cant seem to find out.
Boot into download mode..
With the phone off hold power, volume down and home button.
Hold until phone vibrates then let go.
Once you see the download screen press volume up to continue.
It'll display all that info for you in tiny letters
Your looking for it to show 0x0 next to anything pertaining to Knox.

Hey I was doing the same things when I first hopped on xda.
If you're having trouble searching on here what I do is use google and type '' xda'' before your search and a ton of things will come up for you. Sometimes not the easiest on here since there's so many threads

So was this test conducted after you tested loading one of those recoveries or were you just checking if your root tripped it?
Just curious
Should rename this thread to "New guy asking age old questions before doing any research".

No need to be a jerk. I did search and didn't find results so I figured I would ask. I understand that a lot of people do that and it gets to be annoying but being a jerk to them gets annoying too. Thanks! :good:
Interesting that you even get presented with choices to install a recovery. Mine says there isn't any available yet for my device.

Yeah when I start ROM manager it states I need to install CWM and asks me to select my device. Highlights the I545 and gives me options to flash it.

Rom manager used to do the same for me when I was using my RAZR. But no dice. Hey at least I had Safestrap on that thing!!

The thing is to you the title says 'Where do I get this?", to the rest of us that know there is no recovery for MJ7 yet, the title reads "Oh Boy, Recovery is finally here!" Opening the thread is like opening a birthday present and finding dog poopies.

Oh but there is so much that can be done with dog poopies.... Place in bag, put on doorstep. Ring doorbell, light bag on fire, run, and watch. Any ways, I see the issue and apologize for my ignorance in the matter.
I see what you're saying OP. ROM Manager on mine says Clockwork Mod Recovery is actually installed - but it doesn't function.
I think this was a good question & being that it's in the Q & A section, I expected it to be a question about it, not an announcement that it was working.
Heck, I haven't come across anyone saying they were doing anything to get this working on our devices or any other recovery for that matter. For all we know, it could take a simple question by a tinkerer from this forum that could open things up. Look at what happened with vroot the last couple of weeks.
