Unlock? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] flashing roms with odin?

Will verizons note 3 owners have to use odin to flash roms?
Flash back to stock, then yes or to root. To flash custom roms we need a bootloader work around or unlocked bootloader

Wish it was as easy to unlock as my old phone which is still pretty new (Galaxy Note 2) Adam outler made it very simple with his Creation of Casual one click. Thinking of returning my note 3 and going back to my note 2. Wish there was a DEV edition of the note 3.

Not everyone who roots flashes a ROM. I root so I can use battery saving apps that need root to force close some system apps. I use some apps that require root for a firewall or call blocking. Have you ever wanted to freeze pre-installed apps, or even delete then? This list goes on and on.

Help unlocking Buddy's note

If I root it and use chainfires cf auto root or w.e thru Odin to install a recovery will he be good to go...will it unlock the bootloader or will I send it into a security error by flashing clockwork

You will most likely brick it. Use Hash code's safestrap in development section
With safestrap tho can't you only flash stock ROMs?

Correct, our VZW specific Note 3 has a locked bootloader so we can't modify it aside from the stock .tar file via Odin
You want to use this method to apply the MJE update before doing anything else
Then root via Kingo, have to google it
Then install Safestrap, open it, select install recovery
Profit
Lol good luck let us know if you run into issues it's not too rough
OK thanks..man that sucks that the boot loader hasn't been unlocked yet

If he wants the full root experience, at this time his best option might be to return the phone for something else if he is within his 14-day period.
I'm not sure what else though ... The N3 is a great device. My understanding is that the camera on the HTC One isn't great, and I'm not sure what the root situation on the LG device is, nor how much developer love it will get over time.
Maybe he should leave Big Red for a different carrier... making sure they know exactly why on the way out the door.
Haha yeah thats what i said I have T-Mobile s4 and had mine hacked in 5 mins with a custom ROM on it

Custom status triggered?

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?
Sent from my SM-G900V using xda premium
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!

Using I337 S4 rooted unable to install safestrap unable to parse issues. Any help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok everything worked good untill the custom rom flash.. It wouldn't leave the galaxy s4 screen.. So I had to re Odin the Damn thing because it didn't load safestrap anymore.. We'll. Odin failed for 2 Damn hours but after many failed attempts it finally got me back to NB1.. Then I refreshed NC1, installed towelroot and superuser and safestrap and changed to permissive.. Tried flashing a different rom (deadly venom) and every time I try to load it it just loads the normal firmware but on the custom slot.. So I'm not sure if I did anything wrong or if I should try a 3rd rom

I got golden eye to work on the main slot I think.. It's says that it's the build but it looks stock
Edit: after reviewing the goldeneye page.. It says stock look and feel so I'm assuming it's working..

You can't unintstall Samsung Hub with Titanium Backup, it breaks rotation. You can freeze it or remove it with a Root Explorer type app and it will work fine.
How do reinstall the Samsung hub to get my screen to rotate again?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here it is, I uploaded it to my Box account for you. Just move it into the system/app folder and change the permissions to match the rest of the files then reboot.
Permissions should look like:
Owner X X -
Group X - -
Other X - -
Just be sure to make a backup first in case it doesn't work for some reason.

If you removed it with TiBu it may have removed other files associated with Samsung Hub, you're probably going to have to flash your ROM again. I've have to do it for the same reason before.
I did not flash a ROM. Just added Exposed installer and Wanam. Very frustrated I appreciate your time in helping. Would a factory reset work?

I need some serious help. I have tried many times to fix this and still no screen rotation.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You're going to have to start over by flashing a stock tar file with Odin or you could try booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset. Do you have SafeStrap installed?
I do not have safe strap.

You're going to have to flash a stock tar in Odin or do a wipe data/factory reset in the stock recovery. The reset is the 4th thing down in the stock recovery.
I have tried several times to do a factory reset in recovery. I can't get into stock recovery.

You don't need a ROM installed to get into the stock recovery, since you can't get that working you're going to have to use Odin to flash a stock tar file.
Is their a video on YouTube for this?
