I've searched to no avail on my phone for this. I am running GreyBlur. Everytime the phone downloads an OTA update and attempts to install it, it reboots and errs out. I hate this because it does it without my permission. Is there something to stop this without the bootloader unlock that we are all waiting for?

Yes. Use TiBU to freeze updater.
All I see in TiBU is that I can freeze updates for certain apps. I am running 4.1.57. I just want it to stop trying to send any ATT updates like the HSPA update. (I already had it, wink wink, nod nod) How do I go about doing that in TiBU?
Tibu< backup/restore< "click to edit filters"< filter by name: "updater"< apply< updater2.2.2< freeze!
or you can jsut deactivate motoblur if you dont need it for fb and other syncing.
I really don't understand this phone. I've been on a quest of 2 weeks to be rooted and on official status, finally i gave up everything because i was not able to have both. Finally i flashed factory rom through odin, formated a couple of time the phone, and i got back official status. I much rather gave up a few rooting benefits then OTAs, at least until they fix the phone's problems.
Well, this morning, i wake up, and that DAMN custom status is back....WHY????????? I'm not rooted, i'm 100% stock, i checked with rootchecker and my phone doesnt have root....then why does that damn status keep coming back??? There is obviously something else that triggers it......man i'm so deperate! Please help!

It's really not as big of a deal as you are making it. The way I see it you have 2 choices.
1. Exchange the phone for another (that might do the same thing)
2. Ignore it.
Just like every other Galaxy phone out there (you remember the skyrockets, right?) not all of them react the same way. Some get custom, some do not. Others switch back and forth.
I've noticed you have made many posts about this same thing. If someone hasn't provided a concrete answer that has worked for you by now it just doesn't exist yet. No matter how frustrated you are over it, making new posts about it are not going to change anything.
Its up to you if you keep wanting to post about it (I'm not complaining about it), I just don't think it's going to get you any more information at this point than what already has been said. Maybe I am wrong and someone will tell you exactly what to do to make it "official", but I haven't seen anything yet.
Good luck and try not to let it get to you so much.
euhhh no, they are not about the same thing, one was about retaining officiel while rooted, and now that i've given up on that, i still have a custom status, the reson why i dont report there is becuase poeple have seen the thread and will not go back, so in order to attract new poster i create a new thread. And no, i dont want to ignore anything because i want OTAs. If you have a problem with that, dont answer
You need to re-root (motochopper method) and then using a file browser such as "root explorer" go to:
/System/Xbin
Once you have navigated to the above path, delete these two files:
"su" and " busybox"
Once you've deleted the two files, uninstall SuperSU and reboot your phone twice.
You'll notice that after the second reboot the "custom" will revert back to "official"

correct me if i'm wrong but these 2 files, should not even exist if you install a firmware thru odin and format the phone a few times...
I went through what you have, I completed a full stock restore via Odin and these two files I mentioned were still there. Use a file explorer and go to the path I suggested and you'll see them there

I don't believe the current Odin contains a pit...or whatever it is that formats the phone...
So all Odin is going to do is reinstall everything...so replace missing or corrupted files - it will not delete your new files
Formating from the phone itself won't delete everything...its just going to delete your apps, app data, and cache
Therefore doing multiple factory resets and odins likely will not remove all traces of root...someone correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I believe is the case...

AT&T software update push or download will not work for your phone if it is showing custom. People like to be getting these stock updates as soon as they are published by the provider, not when some good heart packages a new ROM using them.

Good info here, I did this procedure as you described, and yes, official is showing, but you can NOT delete su, it will unroot. I just renamed the 2 files, and root was gone. renamed su back, re-installed su superuser, and reboot, root is back with official status.
Thanks.

I tried this procedure and still have custom after 2 reboots. I renamed su and busybox then verified root was gone. Then renamed su back. I guess the part I was confused at was reinstall super user. Do I uninstall then re-install from play store?
Thank you.
EDIT: Followed my thought of uninstalling and re-installing through play store and still get custom.

Good answer, why does it matter if it says custom? whats the big deal here. If you are wanting the update, why not just wait until a dev does what they need to do to it, and flash it later. I updated 1 time in a year on my GS3, and never did it again. When a new rom is developed, it usually is a base from the update...so....

Did some digging in the forums and I am rooted with OFFICIAL.
This is how to do it. Taken from this thread.

Well, you do not have to install the ZIP, but instead, do the following:
- Install SuperSU from the market
- Grant SuperSU root access
- When asked to update su-binary, please do
- Remove SuperUser from your device
- Reboot (I read two reboots are needed to make the icon disappear again.)
Click to expand...

My process completely.
Remove Busybox from system/xbin (or your busybox backup)
Install SuperSU by Chainfire from playstore.
Open SuperSU and Grant SU root
Update the binary
Say yes to try to remove other root apps. This will remove superuser.
reboot
reboot
On second reboot you will notice the Galaxy S4 logo returns and Official Status has returned.
If it has not returned then some other issue is causing the custom status.

I was able to get official and root, the problem is it comes back after 2-3 days, please report back on sturday and tell me if its still official, also this logo you are talking about, i never see it because im in canada and my bootloader is unlocked already
EDIT: Ok, so once i was rooted and installed SuperSU and got superuser out, i deleted busybox, i then rebooted ONCE and got official just like that. I also took out SD card because i know this screwed me up last time. I'm happy because i'm rooted and official, but i'm not convinced this will last very long because it has never lasted more than 2 days. I will report back in a few days. Thanks Cagman, you've been very helpful and what you told me to do did the best results for me, i just hope they last
so far so good!!!:fingers-crossed:

Try rebooting a few more times.
For about a week i was getting the custom status every 2nd or 3rd reboot, and then eventually it just went away...

Hahaha, i did it!! earlier this afternoon i sort of challenged my phone by rebooting it constantly, ive rebboted probbaly 20-30 times and its still official, i guess deleting busybox sealed the deal!!

Hi,
i get a notification about "the device has noticed an app trying to perform prohibited actions. For security reasons we advise a reboot.reboot now or reboot later are my choices"
what is that about?
It doesnt say which app and what it did. I basically havent really installed anything so i dont know whats up.
I got a 0x0 working root with SU and tested. UrdlV 0.2'ed.

Haven't seen that one before, seen one similar though. Is it a KNOX notification? - check what apps you have that are demanding access to system files (root apps) - and is your root working 100%? - It is possible you have deny apps that ask for Superuser in SU, find em, tweak em and should be ok.
If none of the above, may need to unroot, then re-root as it could be a bad root.
Are you talking about something like this, in the attachment?
I'm getting these notifications every once in a while, I'm not rooted, BUT (!!!) I have some apps installed that require root access (moved all my junk basically from my rooted S2 and installed all the apps deciding to root it later). So I think is that one of the apps is trying to access the root and phone is shutting it down. If you're getting this on your rooted phone, I'd double check if it's really rooted.
The latest MJ7 firmware update solve this prevention message.

It was my understanding that some apps were trying to gain root access on my unrooted phone, guess I was wrong.
I however didn't get anymore of these notifications (I don't think so) since the OTA update to MJ7, as the member alanchai mentioned prior to your reply. :good:
Hi All,
Not sure if this is a fix for all but it has worked for me as I was getting the same preventative message in notifications.
I had some apps which were installed by allowing 'unknown sources (other than play store)', once installed I unticked the 'unknown sources (under security)' this caused me to get these preventative notifications so ticked the box again and have not had the message reappear.
Am using the Note 3 SM-N9005.
im having this problem since i rooted my s7 edge my vr gear wont work.all i did was root no custom rom
The gear vr service is probably disabled or not even installed.

You need to enable it, and also run it (there isn't an icon to open it) so it must not be forced closed
how do you run it

Hello everyone,
I have 2 apps that keeps detecting root no matter what I do..
I tried HIDE MAGISK, MAGISK HIDE props and even I renamed the MAGISK package via MAGISK setting to random name..
The problem is that when I don't hide with MAGISK it will show msg root detected. But if I hide with MAGISK HIDE the app simply doesn't work at all it just hang at loading and crash sometimes.
I tried the app by uninstalling the MAGISK and the app works fine... but as soon as I install/flash MAGISK again app hanging and crashing.
Can anyone have idea how can I fix..
App link on play store-
Kuwait mobile ID:
