My phone is bone stock, never rooted, flashed modded. Last night I put the phone on charger and woke up to phone being locked up. I removed/reinstalled battery and booted up.
TO my surprise on boot below the samsung logo, it says "CUSTOM" with an unlocked picture of a lock.
Anyone else have this issue? I've never modified the rom/recovery nor have I rooted.
I do have Nova launcher and Foxfi......could those be a culprit?
Update: I tried going into stock recovery. WHen I boot with buttons pressed it says "Recovery Booting" but nothing happens and phone reboots itself.

What's funny is, I am running the Task650 AOKP rom and Goldeneye rom and my custom padlock icon went away on its own. Many others have reported the icon randomly showing up too. I'm betting it will go away. Try rebooting your device a couple of times and if it really bothers you do a factory reset.
It's really not that big of a deal. Your're still running the samsung recovery.
Interestingly, my phone did this for the first time last night as well. I've been rooted since the beginning. Since you mentioned it I'm also using Nova launcher but can't imagine that matters.
Well my concern is when it happens at the wrong time, say during a warranty repair/replacement. A message like that is show and bam, no warranty.
I went to the AT&T Device Support Center for my Note II and they booted the phone, and then into download mode to see if it was modified or not (obviously I had returned to stock). So they do check
Nova launcher in not the culprit, because I am on TW and it does the same, in and out that message appears, haven't seen it in a week or 2, but it will pop up occasionally. I think anytime you approach the bootloader with a modification, that will show, and then disappear. I could be wrong, but there has been no certain pattern confirmed by anyone.

he can root and then unroot. Or he can do the following: take our SD card, reboot twice and check if your system status is still custom

Just an update. rebooted a few times and CUSTOM message was still there. then I turned the phone off and left it off for a few minutes rebooted and it was gone.
WEIRD!
I did a bit of research and seems like this issue (If you wanna call it that) has been lingering around on GS3 too. Wonder what the cause is.
If someone knows or figures it out, please update this thread. THanks.

Same thing happen with me by replacing the battery. Just now. Nova launcher was acting up earlier. Galaxy S4 AT&T I was trying to keep this virgin I guess I now have to root and unroot.. But is this an option actually because they have protected the firmware so far to say that you cannot make yours virgin anymore without the original virgin firmware??
i have a sgh i337 at&t.. my phone suddenly freezed and went to bootloop
It suddenly freezed and after some minutes, it automatically went to bootloop.. All I see is the at&t logo for hours.. After that, I wiped data n cache from recovery and the phone started to work well, but after 30 minutes or more , same things are repeated.. Freezes and Wents to bootloop.. And the option I only have is to do a hard reset which works only for 30 minute.. And when I use the phone for 5 minutes after reset and then I restart it, it freezes on lock screen and goes to bootloop.. Please help.. Will flashing a custom ROM will work?.. I want to change the carrier and remove at&t.. Please help..
I had this same exact problem, with stock S5. One thing I noticed with mine that no one else mentioned was if I went into settings and then storage it would say SD Card - READING I believe and I couldn't access my pictures. Nor could I format it or erase it when i was doing a factory reset through the settings options. My phone would also freeze, and then there was times the screen would go black and on the very top of the screen would only display the time and battery life the time would change as well as the battery percentage but I was unable to leave that screen except if I would hold the power button down it would show me all the normal reset, power off options and I was able to select any one the options available. What ended up working for me was, removing the SD Card and replacing it. Then I did a factory reset through the settings options menu. Once it finished I instantly ( did not proceed with setup) I turned the phone off and then held the power button the volume up and home button and reset it that way as well. Once it rebooted I noticed the problem was gone and everything was back to normal.

So I recently purchased my AT&T Galaxy S4 with MDL baseband. I rooted and installed TWRP via motochopper. I then loaded Kangabean 4.2.2 and everything was great. Got notification for OTA update to 4.3 and decided might as well load Kangabean 4.3 as opposed to dealing with the OTA notification. I did so (after formatting internal SD and performing factory reset) and now my phone won't boot beyond the Galaxy S4 splash screen. I restored a nandroid backup of the original software and was able to boot the phone once, but couldn't load the custom rom again, nor can i load into the stock rom anymore either. Does it sound like my phone may have a hardware failure? Would attempting to restore through odin be the next logical step? I'm by no means an expert with these sort of things but my S2 has never given me any sort of grief when flashing various roms in the past. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Try a different kernel, also, pull the battery for 5 min, it will boot.

Yeah I left the phone off with the battery removed all night - didn't want to boot this morning. I'm also noticing an oddity with TWRP - it's for some reason asking for a password on startup even though I've never set one. It also gives an error when attempting to wipe the phone or re-flash
id try odin
Don't Odin yet. If you can get into recovery see if you can flash a new recovery onto the phone. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41746967

It will not let you past the password, been there, it will only do simulated flashes.
Odin is his only option.
So I managed to flash back to stock with odin. I was then able to re-root and re-install recovery. Something is still wrong here though. I was able to load kangabean 4.3, but when i installed the SIM card (kept it out to prevent OTA updates) the phone would no longer boot. I then re-flashed with odin, re-rooted, installed sim, THEN loaded the rom and it worked.... For a while. I had the phone plugged in to my laptop as i had recently transferred some ringtones to the internal SD. I powered down the phone. It seemed to shut the OS down but it then displayed a battery symbol with a rotating circular animation, as if it was trying to show that it was charging the battery. The phone froze in this state.
Another thing that I've noticed is that when this phone freezes, it gets warm. It also tends not to respond well until i've let it cool down. I'm now having difficulty booting the phone after re-flashing with odin. It loads to the white screen with AT&T logo and hangs (and gets warm). I plan to leave the phone alone with battery removed for the day and attempt to reboot or re-flash with odin later.
I find it odd that the rom that i flashed would stop working if i've flashed the rom with the sim removed from the phone, then introduced the sim to the phone after the flash is complete. Is this normal? I'm also unsure if my phone has faulty hardware, or maybe there's some sort of software glitch that's causing it to hang and overhead (like an infinite loop caused by faulty software).
I think if / when I can get it working with the stock rom again, I'll root it and run it for a while and see what it does. I never intended to run this phone with the stock rom as I prefer vanilla android.
I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the kernel. Perhaps I should re-download the ROM and re-install it. I'm not sure but I think the kernel is responsible for charging issues. Perhaps a bad kernel WOULD explain why the phone sometimes freezes at the "battery charging" logo? I'm somewhat at a loss as to what to do. I could try exchanging it through AT&T. If so, I hope they nave another one in their stock that has the MDL baseband as I know I'd be screwed with the current one...

If you're on the stock AT&T rom and you're getting stuck on the AT&T boot logo try the following:
Power off your phone and hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together.
Once you see the Galaxy S4 splash - Keep holding down Volume Up and Center Home buttons but let go of Power button.
Choose the wipe datafactory reset. This will wipe your phone completely but it should boot after.
Hope that helps.
Well I've been toying around with this thing and much to my surprise, I have CM10 running stable w/o any issues booting! I think I would prefer to run Kangabean 2.05 (android 4.3) though. Assuming that the kernel could be a likely cause of the OS not booting, could someone recommend a suitable kernel for that rom? It appears to come packaged with the "KT" kernel...
Another thought i had was perhaps TWRP wasn't adding the loki feature to the roms that i was trying. I upgraded from 2.5x to 2.6. Hasn't seemed to have made a noticeable difference though.
Would the fact that CM10 runs absolutely flawlessly with no issues booting at all possibly help narrow down why the other roms that I'm flashing only load up the first time but fail at the "Galaxy S4" splash screen on subsequent reboots? Admittedly I'm a relative noob to roms and such but up until now i've been able to muddle my way through things and eventually figure them out. I'm not having the greatest luck with this one!

TWRP does not now and has never added LOKI to any ROM or Kernel. Only OUDHS CWM auto-LOKIs. You have to use A pre-LOKIed Kernel or flash the LOKI DokI script to LOKI anything with TWRP. You can do a search to find the LOKI DOKI script and how to use it.

OK to start off i am not a noob at this, i have read though the forms and cant seem to find out why my phone will not come out of this bootloop. This started happening 2 days ago when I went to install a new rom on my phone. I powered down my phone, put it in recovery (Twrp), I wiped everything but internal storage. I then processed to flash the new rom. Everything went great. My phone rebooted and worked fine for the first 1 min, when i tried to pull down the notification bar the phone stuck off and went into a bootloop. I then tried to go back to my old rom and had the same problem (notification bar would not pull down). So i went to plan B and used the Back To Stock Form to restore the phone back to stock. The process went smooth as well not a problem at all. When the phone started up it allowed me to set up the voice navigation and name of the phone, as i went to update the prl and profile the phone shut off again, when it turned back on it starts normally and the goes to the lock screen where i am unable to make any iterations with the screen at all besides when it turns the blacklight off, as i try to use the knock on the LED light turns white but the screen will not turn back on (not even with the power button). Then it reboots to the lockscreen again and continues to do it until i manually force it off. I have tried everything from redownloading the firmware files, tried back to stock 3 times, hard factory reset, and reset in recovery mode. My phone is back to stock but i am unable to do anything with it unless i factory reset and go though the set up again, but even then i cant get a connection (even with wifi) without the phone shutting off and rebooting. Everytime the phone reboots the time reads 12:00am and switches to 12:01 really quick. I cant get a connection at ALL (I EVEN TRIED REMOVING THE SIMS AND AND PUT IT BACK IN AFTER BACK TO STOCK PROCESS.)
Im not sure if the application Dr.Web could possibly be making my phone do this. I did have it installed and did not remove before I tried to switch to the new rom. The anti-theft part was active.

god that is really hard to read...did you make a back up before you do installation? if so do a restore, if you dint, download another rom, kernel, put it in your phone, wipe everything except internal storage via TWRP then flash rom then kernel.

I am back on factory recovery atm is there anyway to flash twrp back to the phone without it being rooted? i tried to get the computer to communicate with the phone when it turns on but it wont seem to connect unless im in download mode or recovery.

I had the same problem except with me, i was just trying to change fonts manually. It went into a bootloop and i stressed dover it for hours until finally i found out that you have to use the lg mobile support tool (you can find it in one of these threads on the lg g2) and revert it back to stock. That fixed it perfectly fine. Its a lengthy process but simple. If that doesn't work you have to do what the lg mobile support tool does semi-manually with another program lg flash tool which is longer but just as simple if you follow the directions given in the thread to the letter.

they have coders there, I'm sure if they really want to know they can figure it out. If you send it in to get it fix out of your own pockets (meaning you pay them) then i'm sure they dont care, but if you want a replacement due to warranty then it may be a different story.

I eneded up restoreing my phone back to stock and took it into my local sprint store it cost ne 75 dollars to replace the phone not under warranty (if u have sprint protection its free) i told them i took and ota update and it started rebooting itself. If you do get a replacement make sure u back up your efs files to a safe place on your phone. Theses files can become corrupted by flashing roms and kernals.

Not under warranty? Doesn't it have a 1 year manufacturer warranty? The G2 wasn't released on Sprint until November last year so it should have been covered.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Yes its still under manufacturer warranty but when i made a repair order with lg it said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get my phone back and if they found out it was due to being rooted and flashing roms im sure lg would of charged a arm a leg to repair it. With sprint i got a new phone in 2 days or ordering it.
So I have my AT&T Galaxy S4 on stock 4.3 mk2 rooted, and every now and then my phone decides to lock itself to where I have to enter the pattern except the screen doesn't respond until I restart the phone. However holding the power button does bring the shut down, restart and airplane options up in which the screen does respond. It's a very annoying issue and I still have a year and a half with this thing to go, so any idea on how to fix it? Or even what caused it? Only "custom recovery" is safestrap which has been installed and unused for a while
Thanks in advance
try not using pattern unlock and see--

Sorry for the late reply, but the problem still persists.

I had some lag issues too when my S4 did the ota from mf3 to mk2. Various apps would freeze or f/c, or at times not even open when selected. I took it to Samsung Experience Center (this was before XDA got tar files) & they re-flashed 4.3 on my phone. That solved everything. Phone was fast and lag free even stock with all the bloat ware. So perhaps try flashing mk2 and see if that solves your problems.
Hello all. I've had a Verizon note 3 since release. I've been running HyperDrive 6 on 4.3 since I got the phone. I've had no reason to update at all, not to mention when I first got it I didn't understand knox so now my knox counter is 0x1. Its been great and themed and untouched for at least 3 months. Today I noticed everytime I opened an app it was upside down, and flipping my phone didn't help. So, I rebooted it.
Ever since that reboot about 3 hours ago I have been unable to get it to reboot fully. It boots up, gets to the lock screen and freezes for about 10 seconds then pops an error saying System process not responding "wait or close". I've done both options with no luck. I've booted into safestrap, cleared cache, recovered to my most recent (April) recovery, booted into stock rom slot, EVERYTHING ends in system process freezing and rebooting.
Why is it doing this out of nowhere? How do I make it stop? What is even wrong? I need this phone for work and in the 3 hours without it have already gotten crap via email for being unresponsive to phone calls.
I have zero idea how to update to KK with my knox counter voided. I'd prefer not to anyway since 4.3 HD6.0 worked great and was themed to my liking.
But I need this phone working, so I'm taking ideas.
Thanks for your help.
Have you tried using Odin if not might wanna start with that use a computer download the stock firmware tar file use Odin to flash the phone back to stock. That's what I would do I don't know what's wrong with you phone but that might help undo what was done.

Sorry i got no idea what you can do, maybe oding back? But this is not the correct place to put a question... I am kind of sure you know that and if you didn't then read the forum rules.
Awesome ROM bro, I'll give it a try!!
Recently bought a new out-of-the box Galaxy S4 I337 from Amazon. Had i known how much trouble it would give me, i would have picked something else. When i first turned the device on, it was almost totally unusable due to lag and random reboots. Software version was 4.4.2. I used Odin to flash a rootable NB1 onto the device. Still had lag and random reboots. Upgraded to lollipop using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/guide-att-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-t3383078 and still have lag and random reboots. Also, the first time i upgraded to lollipop, i installed safestrap not knowing it wouldn't work on lollipop. Obviously, my recovery disappeared. When i figured out what was going on, i did a fresh install of lollipop. I got recovery back, but today when i tried to boot into recovery to wipe the cache, i discovered it had mysteriously stopped working again. If i attempt to boot into recovery, it just skips to the Samsung logo. I didn't install safestrap or any other custom recovery this time.
When i turn the phone on, either it hangs at the AT&T white splash logo and refuses to load at all, or advances to the lock screen. I have disabled animations and every widget i could on the lock screen and yet when i attempt to unlock the phone, it usually freezes. If i repeatedly swipe the phone for thirty seconds or so, it unlocks but it is still frozen and i have to continue swiping to prevent it from locking again. Eventually i'm able to navigate the phone normally, until it randomly reboots or freezes. Sometimes i see an error message that Touchwiz home, Process System, or SystemUI has stopped working or is not responding. This is always accompanied by a freeze. Also, choosing an option in the dialogue that comes up when i press the power button (shut down, reboot, etc) invariably causes the device to soft reboot. Other times a soft reboot happens totally at random, even if i'm not doing anything. Anybody have any idea what's going on or did Amazon just sell me a dud? All of these issues have been happening since before i rooted the device or upgraded it, except for the disappearing recovery mode.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sounds like a data factory reset is in order. First you need recovery back so I would odin the latest firmware for the phone that can be flashed in odin. If it's still messing up then get Amazon to replace it.
Since you have safe strap though, try booting a TW based rom like Thor ROM or Golden eye ROM. That may fix some things.

Just wanted to bump this to thank you for your reply. Never got the phone to work but i was able to get it back to stock and return it. I got a refurbished S5 instead.
