Hi All,
I suspect somebody could have hacked my phone.
The problem is I had a problem with the phone and I sent it to Samsung Service. They told me I have a custom ROM flashed on the phone. The problem is I didnt flash any ROM on this phone!!! The day I sent it to the service I tried to root the phone and flash the ROM, but I only flashed the TWRP recovery and flashed superSU file. Did not flash any ROM though!!!
In Odin downloading screen it says:
Current Binary: Custom
System Status : Custom
So now the questin is- if I flashed the SuperSU file could have it triggered the current binary and the system status to be changed to Custom? From what I was reading when you root the phone it only changes the System Status. So if the Current Binary says Custom does it mean someone flashed custom ROM on my phone?
Would it be possible that someone sent me the system upgrade which in fact was the customed ROM and I accepted it and flashed? This way someone could have gained an access to my phone?
There is someone I know only on Internet, that person is from Taiwan and I suspect it could have been that person.
Can someone advise if such thing is even possible?
Thank you so much for any help here!!!

Hello everyone, before I continue I will give my phone details below:
Model Number: GT-I9505
Andriod version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: I9505XXUFNC5
So my problem is that I followed a guide to rooting my Galaxy S4, after which Odin confirmed to me that my phone had passed the rooting setup, all very good. The problem occurs when checking to see if my phone had successfully being rooted, I downloaded Root Checker Basic which informed me that my phone actually isn't rooted.
So as anyone would do they start the rooting process again, to which the same outcome repeated.
I can not post the link to the guide I used, the website I followed was ibtimes. The guide I followed is named 'Root galaxy s4 (LTE) I9505 on Official Andriod 4.2.2 Kitkat Firmware.
The link above is the guide I used.
So my question is, has anyone else come across this in the past? I did a brief search in the forums prier to posting this but came to no avail.
Thank you for any and all help with regards to my problem!
1. Try to root ur phone 2 times with same method u used.
2. Always KNOX app will block SuperSU app. You will have to freeze or delete KNOX app.
As requested I deleted the KNOX app and tried a Root, it has again come up with the same results, quoting from the SuperSU app 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!'
I can not think as to what I am doing wrong.
Update:
I have factory reset my phone, and tried the root again to which the results are the same, Odin doesn't go yellow, it goes blue but some people say this can be due to different versions.
I have got usb debugging enabled, the battery is charged. This is really frustrating as I was wanting to get put a ROM on my phone today haha.
If anyone has any further advice that will be much appreciated!
Have you tried flashing CWM Recovery to your phone? When exiting CWM if you're not rooted, it'll tell you and ask if you want to root. Select Yes then go back into Android and check your SuperSU.
Otherwise, you could always try use Odin to flash one of Djembys pre-rooted stock roms?
If you're just wanting to flash a custom rom, then you could just download a custom rom, put it on your phone internal storage (or external SD), flash a custom recovery and then flash the rom? That's worked for me in the past.
Try to root again with odin and if your recovery say anything like ''fix root'' always say no
Hi.
I don't know if someone can help me, but I really don't know what to do with this problem.
I bought one G900M (version from Brazil) on the release date and after a few weeks I install a custom rom and the TWRP recovery.
The problem is: I tried to go back to the stock ROM, but I still have the recovery with the CUSTOM "mark".
I tried to re install many times, do a wipe/format from the recovery, with no success.
I always receive the message when I try update the phone by OTA what say "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading...
I appreciate any help.

You tripped Knox when you rooted. There's no way to undo this.

But I'm not talking about Knox. I'm talking about the OTA update.
I reinstall the original firmware, stock version. Should work, no? Or Samsung changed the things again?
Im with a similar problem... root my device now OTA dont work... i think maybe someone has a flashable original firmware and you patch the same way you root your device.... Other option is ODIN restore to default :/ wich nobody want that
Its true
You tripped Knox when you rooted. There's no way to undo this.
If you want to update Just download the stock firmware ( samobile ) and flash with odin
Not true. My knox is still 0x0, I have root, but i have the same message from OTA.
The ART is the problem.

Hi there, whats your android version ?
Try flashing this with your custom recovery
If you're 'successfully rooted' you can download and install SuperSU direct from the playstore......Why would you need to odin flash it?
Sent from my rooted kn0x0 SM-G900F S5
I tried play store it didnt work right as the root was unsuccessful it turns out i had to restore my phone with the stock rom in end as I used flashed something incorrectly. I will attempt to root again i am now on lollipop

I used a German ROM when rooted and now back to stock using my country's (Netherlands) provided STOCK ROM from sammobile but phone is still showing the German buildnumber along with the hero3ltexx build fingerprint. I hope someone answers us with a solution for this!
