Hey Guys,
I thought it was weird, but on boot during the samsung screen, there is an unlock icon right below the word samsung and it says custom...
what does that mean? I only have rooted the phone.
how do we fix it?

Sorry to put this here but i don't see any Forum for AT&T . I bought an AT&T 32 GB Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337) yesterday and rooted it using the "MotoRooter" method . I then tried to find a custom recovery and didn't come up with any . This morning i got a pop saying i have an update from AT&T, I downloaded "RootKeep" click on save root then took the update. While the phone was rebooting i noticed it was saying "Custom recovery" with an Open Padlock. What does this mean ?. I know on other devices an open padlock means the Bootloader is unlocked .

Oh searched and didn't see that, thanks .
I might just be stupid but when I bootup my Galaxy S4 on At&t it shows an unlocked padlock as if it were unlocked. Underneath it shows the word "Custom"
Does this mean anything????? Please respond...
I'm guessing you rooted your phone as I have the same thing. I believe it's just a splash screen png when we rooted. I also installed the blue crysis theme so I replaced my systemui.apk.

It means you should probably "search" before posting. This information exists in several of the "Root" threads that already exist. Just search the forums and it'll tell you all about it...well, as much is as known about it at this point. Good luck.

did you root with a certain root method? cause where you read how to answers this question...numerous times..why start another thread? anyway the answer is it was stated when you root that would be there..means nothing..as soon as you flash your first rom it is bye bye.
Oh OK sorry in didn't see that

I have a ATT galaxy s4 and I was wondering how I could lock my bootloader, it keeps saying custom when I turn it on and I want that gone.

That doesn't mean your bootloader is unlocked. This can happen when you root too.
Lol no way (yet) to unlock..
mf3 rooted

Just like Whizzpopper said, if you are rooted that will cause the Custom screen to show when you boot. You have to unroot. I know Rom Toolbox has a feature that would allow you to change that screen to a custom picture/animation, but not sure if it is compatible with the S4.
Not neccessarily unlock for boot mine stayed the same till I ran wanam xposed last night, which I some what regret I think one of the changes I made (1 too many perhaps lol) messed me up I get fc for xda now when trying to give thanks reply or w.e..
Any1 kno how I can make a comma stay permanant on the stock keyboard?

Try Triangle Away to get rid of the custom screen and rest the flash counter.
So as you people probably know, the boot animation that the sprint Galaxy s7 phones have looks absolutely terrible, it even comes with an annoying noise, yay! So I remember reading that if you flash official Samsung firmware via Odin it doesn't void your warranty and doesn't trip Knox, so would it be possible to flash the original boot logo? Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!
Edit: If I follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580642, and use the boot animation found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/themes-apps/galaxy-s7-boot-animation-t3324518, could I change it?
What is the boot animation, just cerious. On the LG G4 it talks about LTE Plus. Same as yours? I also found if you disable system sounds, there will be no boot animation sound.
My sprint s7 actually didn't come with a boot img besides Samsung logo. Nor any bloat ware.

It will install the bloat and flash the boot.img after network activation is completed. It never comes with it.

Well that'll never happen since it's impossible for me to activate it with sprint on AT&T.
anyone know?

To follow the process you linked, you need to have a rooted phone. There is currently no way to root the Sprint S7. There may never be a way to root it. So no, that won't work.
But how often do you reboot your phone? I may reboot mine once a month, so I don't really worry about the splash screen or noise.
I just picked up an S7 to replace my s5. So far really liking the improvement. I just can't justify spending $800+ for a phone anymore to get an s9. Anyways. All my other Galaxies were rooted. My s5 was and I changed the boot animation.
From reading on here though it looks like this is a whole other beast where everything is locked down. My sprint samsung galaxy s7 has the following information:
Software Version: G930PVPS8CRK1
Hardware Version: REV0.6
So there is no way to change that annoying sprint boot up screen that shows the blinding white LTE?
Thanks and sorry I'm bumping an old thread. Figured there probably wouldn't be too much activity on an s7...lol

You can install G930U (Unbranded firmware) (CSC: XAA) again on The Sprint Galaxy S7. Samsung finally update the bootloader to V8.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930U/XAA/download/G930UUEU8CRJ2/242329/
On Sprint variant (g930p) you can dial *#*#brand#*#* ( *#*#27463#*#*) and it's going to debrand your phone... It will uninstall almost every Sprint app and will set Samsung default bootscreen.
Can't remember the exact thing if is double "*#" or single so try both ways.
Also if you're on bootloader 6 to 8, now it's possible to flash G930U firmware to get the unbranded firmware. (This will upgrade your bootloader to version 8 and will wipe your phone).
Dumb question before I do the above... If I debrand the phone will I then not be able to use the phone on Sprint or will Sprint no longer communicate with my phone? IE: I have no service or data? I don't plan on changing carriers from Sprint, just want to make sure I don't do something that I then can no longer use the phone...
Thanks,

Everything will be fine... Debrand is just to delete the customized thing of the phone... Like bootlogos, service provider apps, sometimes it deleted the ringtone and wallpapers from the company... It left the phone like it was an international variant.
