I have the Verizon variant and I was checking in the setting and it said my status was custom. I haven't modified the system in any way, any ideas on what might have caused it?

Did you switch over to ART? I know if you do it will show up as custom but when you change back to Dalvik it goes away.
Oh, I didn't know that, I guess I'll just have to switch back thanks for the help!

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.

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.

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.

Weird message happening every time I boot up the phone it pops up twice then settings start working. Any hints of what might be causing it?

Try reflash a stock firmware
sent from my Galaxy
Using WalcoMart's tools to revert to stock guide. I successfully flashed back to stock VS98010B but, I noticed that it skipped the Misc partition during the flash and I didn't see that any other time I flashed before that one. Is that a normal part of the process or will it cause problems for me?

It has a bunch of misc system hardware settings in it. Carrier, region, etc… Usually it should be left alone.
So it should be fine that it skipped it.
Thanks.
Good to know.

Hi I have an s4 and when it starts up it shows a padlock and says Samsung custom. Is there a way to take this off? I am a newbie so I may need dummy instructions. And second when I try to update my phone to Kitkat it doesn't fond the update. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Are you happened to be rooted or have disabled any apps? At every single boot the system scans for these things, though I don't think it would prevent you from getting an update, just give it a Lil more time.

You get the custom only if you have made modifications to the system partition and that can happen only if you are rooted
Well I did have to send it in for a repair and the guy rooted it. I ended up removing the root via the superuser app option.

I rooted yesterday and applied greenify today. When I rebooted after applying the module I had an unlocked lock on boot. What does this mean? I didn't have a lock on that screen previously.

It basically just means that the stock firmware has been modified I believe.

if you disable KLMS Agent, it will trip the custom software. re-enabling it brings it back to official.

any change to build.prop will trigger that open lock and "custom" on the first Samsung screen
Thanks all, everything seems to be running fine so I'm not overly concerned, it was just an obvious difference.
