Yellow triangle -- anyone else? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

"System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone."
Is anyone else getting this message? I've received it on both CleanROM and Jelly Beans. It's not a major problem... A simple reboot fixes it, but it can be annoying.

Do you have the Verizon virus stuff on your phone? I've had that pop up saying that

I had that happen as soon as I rooted the phone. I just disabled the Verizon bloatware anti-virus app with application manager.

I don't see any antivirus apps. I looked in Applications and in Titanium Backup. Do you know what it's called so I know what I'm looking for? I'm currently running Jelly Beans ROM.

If your rooted and have wanam there is a module called root cloak that you can add the program to. That will let it run normally while keeping root disguised from it. I had it happen once I upgraded to mje.

I've tried everything that's been suggested so far, but I'm still having this issue. Am I the only one who keeps getting this?

My Note 3 is stock (read this as not rooted - yet) I did get this message once after installing FoxFi (not sure why) and then it went away and has not come back. Rebooted phone to check Knox counter to verify that there were no issues - it was still 0x0.

My Knox counter is still at 0x0... This is obviously a Verizon message vs. a Samsung message.

knox is only tripped when installing an unsigned recovery or kernel.

[Q] HELP- 2 apps reporting rooted device on stock ROM

Hi,
PLEASE HELP ME!!
I've got a stock out of the box Galaxy S4 (4.2.2) and I'm having trouble with a couple of apps not installing.
The first app is Good Messaging for my corporate email, tries to install then says 'my phone is not within policy'
Just tried to install my mobile banking app and it bombs out and says my device is rooted.
I've have definitely not tried to root or modify the Android OS. I downloaded the free rootchecker app and it says I'm not rooted.
Is this an app problem or something weird on the S4 I need to modify so it appears unrooted? Never had this issue with my past S2.
Thanks in advance.

If you have to root your phone so that you can use this app, why you don't do it? It takes you a little 15 minutes, just follow the tuto carefully and everything will be easy.
Also if you want to go back to official stock for insurance issue, you can flash to the official stock.
I do not want to root my device. I want it unrooted (locked)- which out of the box it should be.
The 2 apps I'm trying to install will fail to work if the device is rooted.
Unfortunately the apps 'think' my device is rooted when its not.
How can I double check if my S4 device is unrooted/locked?
FYI- I'm with Vodafone UK (England). I wonder if their Android build is the problem? Is there an easy way to install a stock non branded ROM?

That is I tried to tell you, Root->Unroot = out of the box factory state. No one will notice that you have root...
That cannot be. Even if you device is root, you can still download any app. However if you device is not rooted, yo cannot download App who require the root.
Try to flash the official firmware of your phone through Odin, and see if it still displays that error warning.

MK2 & Custom on Boot

The problem is the phone is showing Custom when the phone is turned on. I was on MF3, had rooted via the SD card method. The custom appeared at that point. I did a factory reset and the custom went away and lost root but the superuser app was still showing in the app draw (factory reset did not delete this). I was planning on reloading the MF3 firmware via odin but lent the phone to my daughter while I replaced the screen in her note2. Well of course she got the upgrade message to 4.3 from AT&T, did it and now the unlocked custom is back. Not sure why as it was showing as official, the trip counter was still 0 (never installed a ROM on it) BUT the superuser app was there.
Now on 4.3 I've rooted/unrooted via Kingo, during the unroot it removes superuser but the custom won't go away. I installed Triangle Away while rooted and it still shows 0 on the flash counter. Is there something in this Knox security (not sure how to check this) causing the custom?
Just want to get it back to any stock AT&T firmware so I can sell it. TIA for any help
there are only certain roms you can flash while being on mf3. If you did the mk2 update there is no recovery out yet. Using vroot and kingo are unsafe methods of rooting so puts your device at risk.

Install the Xposed framework from xda. Then, install the Wanam module and look for the Setting under "Security Hacks" that reads "Fake system status" and check the box and reboot.
The issue won't truly be resolved until you flash an official ROM, but the Custom screen will be gone at boot.

unroot via kingo, then factory rest...worked for me on 4.3
Do you plan on a warranty exchange?
I love seeing the custom on boot, it lets me know and other everyday normal people know my phone is slightly modified.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the phone yet, probably sell it but not totally sure. Wondering with it now showing Custom on the boot screen and in the OS will it still receive OTA updates? Hoping the AT&T 4.3 or 4.4 image will be available in the future and that might help.

[Q] Problem "Unauthorized actions have been detected."

Hello everyone,
I just received my S4 AT&T (manufacture refurb, eBay), but the phone already is giving me headaches.
Every 5 minutes appears in the notifications the following message:
Security Notice:
Unauthorized actions have been detected. Tap here for more information. And then I tap and it appears: cancel or reboot.
After rebooting the phone the message keeps appears (is also keeps appearing if I tap cancel).
I think it's related with the wifi connection. I made some tests, and when I'm only in data connecting, the message do not appear.
Anyone have an idea? I really appreciate,
Matheus
I got the same problem
Phone was dead and i had to use odin to get back to stock.
Since that, I keep getting that warning too
Keep rebooting but still get the message ... all the time
very annoying

I just rooted my Galaxy S4 and started receiving these notifications. It is related to 'Knox' - Samsung's newish security feature, made to appease corporate customers. I side loaded the latest version of SuperSU, installed it, and during the install it asks if I want to disable Knox - said yes, issue gone. Note that you have to have root to install SuperSU

I just checked here, and my phone already have root access !!! it came "factory" rooted. It's VERY WEIRD. Again, I bought it from Ebay, and the seller stated in the ad: Manufacture Refurbished.
Once I'm new in this Root World, should I be worried about that? Like, it's is possible the seller put some malicious app in the sold phones? Sorry about the conspiracy theories, but I've never seen a supposed brand new phone (even though it's refurbished) came already with root.
Thanks

First thing I'd do with a new phone bought of eBay would be to flash the stock firmware in Odin. That way you know what you got and it would be like new. Just my $0.02.

I just started a similar thread and then saw this one. This happened to me also but as far as I know I did flash stock firmware, fnb1. It isn't the latest but it worked after several others failed so I just left it but now I have the same problem. Is it possible that I rooted the phone accidentally? I thought about trying towelroot to fix it but then I am rooted for sure. By the way, I never have found the latest stock firmware to be able to flash it.

Verizon Forced Stealth OTA - Removed Root on S5 BPB1

The other day I swapped my batteries an upon reboot, got a splash screen indicating an update was being installed. I had been rooted for over two years and I had SDM frozen via Titanium Backup. There was no confirmation prompt or ability to defer the update offered. After boot, SU had been uninstalled and Titanium Backup wouldn't run at all.
Has anyone else had this happen? Verizon pushing past disabled SDM to pwn a phone?

this is a serious problem , since for the vzw the bootloader unlocking usually take place on bpb1's and it would make sense that they would aim there first. I think it might be time for you to update your bootloader or switch over to custom roms instead of staying on samsung's firmware , and also this post just saved me from thinking of switching back to stock for the time being so now im def staying on nougat and hope android can be brought to the S5 as well.
I'm surprised there isn't anyone else reporting this. It seems VZW has a secondary backdoor into the stock firmware that isn't SDM or Knox. I didn't have the Verizon app installed either. On a different build on another S5 phone, the Verizon app asked for root from SU, and I shut it down immediately, figuring it wss trying to insert a backdoor.
It's just strange after two years of zero updates to my image, it suddenly allows VZW in to perform non-consentual sodomy on my phone...

its because the s5 is still widely used all over the world , its just another tactic for them to screw up older samsung devices to get users to upgrade to the latest ones. which is why using samsung software is not always a good thing. Injecting micro-codes are not UN-common for companies
I wanna know how they did that so it can be prevented.

Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized

Hi everyone,
Straight to the point, I bought Samsung S7 Edge second-hand and I get trouble in lagging and always show notification of "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes."
This problems also tangled me when I'm using Samsung Health...:crying::crying::crying:
As basic situation, I know it had been root and unroot before I bought this phone.
Is anyone can help me to get rid off?:crying::crying:
samsung health, android pay and secure folder won't work on device that has root or have been rooted. firstly, to get rid of the annoying notification, install titanium backup,grant root rights if you are still rooted, locate the apk "security log agent and freeze it. If not, install latest twrp and root with magisk or supersu, just search online how to do so. lastly , to get rid of the lagging and notification . flash latest stock rom via odin and everything would be fine ..just remember that your knox is tripped forever so don't expect samsung health would work after removing root or getting back to latest stock ..hope this helps and good luck
