This has been adressed many times, but you are correct. Rooting the device has changed it to an unlock icon

And if you go to "settings > about device > status" it will display custom on device status on the bottom

Well I made a backup with that carbon app and I'm gonna download the apps probably tomorrow to see if it works. Thanks for the link. Also I went a head and unlocked the bootloader and all that other good stuff.

Then offer some more information - how did you get there? Pull the battery (shouldn't be necessary, but give it a shot). If you have a case on it, make sure to leave it off.
More information gets better answers.

Isn't there an option under developer settings to display that stuff? Like a checkbox? I don't have my phone handy to check.
That was the first thing I checked but nothing was checked of in my notification window it tells me to update device info but when I click on it nothing happens

Sorry I don't know enough to really help. I assume you have tried reboots and battery pull?
I have tried reboots and battery pulls

Another user just reported a similar issue with Odin. He used Kies and was able to restore the phone.
I will try that

Are you still in the same situation?

In order to remove the factory mode message first your phone must be rooted. Use root explorer, go to efs folder than FactoryApp there's a file "factorymode" edit it as a text file you'll see it says OFF change it to ON, save and reboot.

No I did not I tried Odin back to factory still does not work
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Did you try to factory reset from recovery? Wipe the data partition. If on stock recovery, keep in mind, it will wipe the internal SD.
It seems kies is not fully wiping. I know that Odin will not normally erase the data partition.

Did anyone make progress on flashing a boot loader on note 3 on 4.3?

I wouldn't say all hope is lost. It's just a long shot. With any hope, the new Kk bootloader will be nicer to us.

[Q] Delivery Reports

I'm new here, so please excuse my forum etiquette. I have the sprint samsung gs4, rooted with Odin on 4.4.2, no change in kernel or rom (that I know of).
When I go to messaging> menu> settings>, there is NO delivery reports option. Anyone that can explain this to me, or assist me with turning on delivery reports, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have researched this already and I have found NO similar case to myself. Every other guide I find shows the delivery report option available.

I don't have it on stock unrooted NAE so it doesn't seem to be a missing feature.

So are you saying that it's not showing for you as well?
