Okay so I was browsing my phone and happened to run across the System state saying "Modified"
The issue I am having is I have never even downloaded a rooting app. The only thing close to root I have used is called Helium, which does not require root, but it can backup/restore apps+data.
I am slightly worried that if I have to send my phone in for some reason they will see this and say I have messed with the system, although I have not in the first place.
Has anyone else encountered this random issue? Other than that this phone is quite a good phone and I'm pleased with it greatly.
Did you......root your phone?

Let me grab a non-rooted G3 here in a few and check. I don't know that they dont all say that. Get back to you shortly. Mine also says this; however, I did root and unlock mine.

Did you fully read his post before replying? I suppose my question is as rhetorical as yours...
My interpretation was that he has not installed one rooting app. One was left to assume he had rooted the phone or did not have a rooted phone which was the basis of my question. And yes I did read his post to answer your question. I would not leave you to assume I did from my response.

no big deal that it says that. move along
If you go to the Verizon store and look at the G3's they have on display, they all say "modified" instead of "official" however when I received my phone it said "official" until I rooted it.

Just flash it back to stock if you have any issues. May as well root now anyway. G3 tweak box is amazing!
Sorry for late reply, at work so hard to get on atm.
I have not touched a single rooting app to this phone since I bought it new the day they came out. I have thought about rooting it, but I am touchy when it comes to phones that are in warrenty.
Although I might just say heck with it and actually root it anyways since it's saying modified, my main concern was why it was already saying it was modified when I hadn't touched it yet. I have experience rooting/restoring phones/tablets ever since the mesmerize/desire/fascinate ages so it shouldn't be too hard
I doubt this has anything to do with it, but when it turns on from a restart/shutdown one of the verizon apps "vzrwsservice" or something like that says it has crashed and then goes away until i restart again.
Thanks for you replies though, if someone does come up with a phone that isn't rooted but says modified, I'd be interested to know so that we can figure what's causing this.
My unrooted Verizon g3 does not say modified. It says official.

Hypothetical.... lets say someone bought it, played with it and rooted it or botched a root and returned it. try root checker in app store. just saying. makes more sense then someone snuck in your bedroom and took it and rooted while you were sleeping and returned it.
Another hypothetical...
Could it switch to "modified" if one were not rooted but had disabled some of the bloat? Just a thought.

As of now, I cannot tell what it was to change it to modified, I went ahead and tried a reset through the settings and it kept the modified status, did a flash restore and it finally got rid of the modified and is now stating Official.
(To note that when it was in download mode it also stated modified before I flashed it with the ToT file.)
I did also find the reason for the verizon server to crash, which I cannot find the location of the thread elsewhere, but it is due to Google+ and one of verizons apps not being compatible with each other and eventually causing verizons app to crash. The only way so far to fix it is either downgrade google+ to stock, or disable the VerizonAvsService to stop the crash at boot.

eh there,
So I never really did this before and I searched for info, but came up empty.
I picked up an evo lte off of ebay that is s-off/rooted (and now running meanbean 2.9), it still has the previous users name/number in it
sprint wants me to enter: ##72786## then msl
and reset it, they said it will update with new prl/etc. Well i really don't want to do an OTA and loose my settings.
so is there another way i can do this, will i be fine to do this, or has anyone have experience in doing this before?
thanks.

If you're rooted, then make a backup and restore when done. Those settings are kept.
I made the backup already. I just didn't want to start this process and find out it would relock/s-on the phone some how. I'm just really inexperienced in this area. thanks

It shouldn't do an OTA, they should have only gave you the steps to change whoever's phone number to your own. I don't have all the steps of what u do around but I know you would need to go into something from the dialer and back out their number and enter yours. Then yeah, update prl and profile with what they already told u. I've done this twice when I gave my cuz my past 2 s-off eVos. I think they only gave you part of what needs to be done, the last half. unless your phone already is working under your own number. If that's it then just reset how they said. It won't OTA a rom and you never have to hit install even if an OTA actually downloaded. Never sit there and be one of these people that reads on xda but still takes an OTA.
Swyped from my eVo
i did the update before your reply. but following the steps it just resets identity of the phone, so yours will be loaded ota. There was no updating of the firmware/radios/etc as I was told on the phone. I should've known not to panic, but I like to try to do my research before I try something new. I already called sprint and gave them the new info. (She was nice, but asked me to pull the phone backing off and remove the battery. So I shouldn't have worried about it.)
long story short. phone works and now i'm sifting through a week of messages.
All they want u to do is update the profile and prl. It will do nothing to your rooted status or hurt anything. I would strongly recomend u go into Google wallet and make sure they don't have it set up. If so do a reset on the app. Then u can do a factory reset on the phone to wipe out all the other persons personal info and u can sign into your Google account. As long as u don't do a HTC software update u are not screwing up your root or Rom settings.

Remove the battery
Lol
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Hey everyone. I just bought a Galaxy S4 a couple days ago, and have had no problems with it until this morning. I had it plugged in, and when I woke up, it was extremely hot to the touch, burningly so, and had some weird battery warning of some sort on the screen. I didn't know what else do do, so I immediately unplugged it and took the battery out. Coming from using an HTC Thunderbolt, I've never had a phone get this hot. My hands even still hurt from handling the phone, and now I'm really concerned that there is a problem with it. It's probably worth mentioning that I did root it, but I did nothing else that would cause it to do something like this. I didn't overclock it, I didn't install a custom recovery, and I didn't install any custom ROMs. Besides having root access, the phone is in a stock state as if I just took it out of the box. I haven't turned it on yet as I'm letting it cool off right now, but I really want to know what the heck happened here.
Thanks for any help.
You're not the first person. Hm I want to buy this phone too

Yeah, to my surprise I noticed one of the moderators moved a similar thread from someone over to this section while I was in the middle of posting mine. I wish I would have been able to see it before making mine, but oh well. At least I'm glad it's nothing I did, but I'm both concerned about the heat killing the battery as well as this happening over and over again.
I haven't had this issue at all. I'm rooted and running cwm recovery, but otherwise stock. I also froze several apps (only bloat that was allowed to be disabled natively, so far).
In general, if I were you, I would contact Samsung or Verizon. It may be a defective battery or a defective phone.

I suppose I could bring it back; I do have about 12 more days to return it if I need to. Of course, I'd really rather not, but if everyone here thinks that's the best course of action here, then I suppose I should. Of course, there is the whole I rooted it thing, so yeah.

Don't worry about root. Use SuperSu's unroot feature before returning it. And a factory reset. They'll never know.
Or, if you're really paranoid, use the stock no root odin image and flash it clean.
Get the battery error message to repeat then bring it in with it showing or take a picture of it. A good store will hand you a new one on the spot. They just need to have a documented reason.
Yeah pretty much
I think what I'll do is test the battery life and see if it was damaged at all first. If there's nothing to worry about there, I could just pretend it never happened. Of course, if it decides to go supernova on me again, I'll just unroot it and bring it back. Thanks for the replies guys.
Update:
Considering my battery went down by 8% in just a half hour, I think I can safely consider my battery to be fried. This is just wonderful...
I've recently reverted and rooted my VZW G3 (loving it) and I am a bit paranoid as I've received a couple calls from Verizon Client Services. I have many VZW apps disabled or frozen via Titanium Backup and I'm wondering if they are detecting this and calling to call me out on having root.
So, I've since installed the Xposed module RootCloak and went through and added all the LG and VZW apps on my phone. I'm wondering if someone knows what apps must have root hidden from them via RootCloak and what apps are safe to freeze (or delete from the phone)? Would I be better off letting some/all the VZW apps run with root hidden from them so they don't think anything is wrong? Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me? Thanks.
Tried searching and couldn't find a list of "apps that are safe to remove" (or freeze) so if I missed it I apologize.

Did you just recently get the phone? Maybe they are calling back for a survey? I know I've received a call or two, especially since I spoke with a customer service rep.
I also went and picked my phone up in the store and got a text the next from the manager, asking about my experience at the store and that they are there to help with any questions I may have.
I am rooted, and haven't had any calls or anything, so I think you should be okay. I'm assuming you never answered the calls when you saw who it was coming from. They probably just want to see how you like your new phone.

Whaaaaaaat? So you're saying it could just be good customer service? You are probably right, but this thread kind of freaked me out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/word-warning-calling-verizon-t2966775
I just didn't know if they had bits in their bloatware that set off alarms when they are disabled or detected something fishy.
I was really ready to jump the Verizon ship and go off to T-Mobile or ATT - I stuck with my Galaxy Nexus on VZW for over 3 years because I wanted to have the freedom to have control over my own phone. The fact that the G3 was rootable (and free on Black Friday) made my decision to sign on for 2 more years. I just don't want anything messed up or have them know I'm rooted in case something does go wrong with the phone.
So even if it's paranoia it would be great if we had a list of apps that are safe to delete/freeze.

I read that as well, but we're still not completely sure about it. But, any time I ever called support for a phone (which as rare) or Verizon for support with a phone, I always returned it back to stock, unrooted before doing anything.
In fact, it appears from other posts and confirmation from the OP that he run the My VZW app and it asked for root permissions. I believe that's how they knew. Otherwise, they don't scan your phones, so I think you're safe.
I've been rooted ever since I got my first Android phone over 4 years and never once has VZW called me to say "Hey your phone is rooted. Your warranty is voided now."
They may be "Big Red" but I don't think they're "Big Brother".
I've recently upgraded phones and have decided to root my S5 active. Unfortunately, I am not running the NE4 version of the firmware, therefore, I am not able to use Towelroot. I've done quite a bit of digging trying to solve the problem to no avail. I've tried using Odin to either downgrade my firmware or install a custom/rooted firmware but Odin gives an "Auth" fail. I've done as much research as I can into why I get an auth fail and nothing I've seen suggested has helped. I've tried installing firmware through the SD card, looked into sideloading firmware but that seems to be only for updates as far as I can tell. I am well and truly at a loss and was hoping someone could help.
S5 active
Samsung-sm-g870a
Version: 5.1.1
I hate to say it but you are in the same boat I am. There is no root for that. They patched the hole and prevent downgrading.
The only ones that might have been able to break it walked away from Samsung years ago. Sorry. Don't feel bad your not alone.
Surely to god someone SOMEWHERE has figured something out? Maybe I can take it to best buy and have them downgrade the software for me?

It won't work. The updated bootloader prevents it being downgraded. It would take a jtag machine and Samsung to do it.
No. No one has. You have to remember that the best walked away from Samsung. Anyone that tries to break it gets hit with a C&D order.

Considering no one has been able to be able to crack Samsung locks I wouldn't count on it. I would just accept that it is a locked down device. This is the reason developers Dont buy Samsung devices anymore.

Well to be honest. If root is something you need then you should avoid Samsung.
If you find something then cool. I'll never use it. The security issues could get me in trouble keeping with my job so it's out of the question.
The only reason I'm trying so hard is because this is my old phone and I can't really afford much of anything else. If I felt like I had another option, I'd go for it. I have no security concerns, I'm not even particularly concerned about bricking my old phone. If I can't figure out how to root it, it might as well be a brick anyway for how useful it is.

It's still a good device. Even stock. The security concerns are there you just don't understand them completely. As an example. They store your IMEI. Which can be used to clone your device. As such when the oem sees 2 IMEI the same it kills both devices. Making them both not work.
I'll be honest for that device you are gonna waste more time trying to find away around it. ( it will be blocked again with the 6.0 update that is planned for it) then you would just using it as is. Mine is completely stock and works as it should.
I'm honestly not worried about losing the device to something like that. I'm not storing anything particularly interesting on it but I need the root to do what I want. I won't be updating the firmware at all so it'll never go to 6.0

Well then good luck. You will need it. Also keep in mind with those root you will have to reroot every reboot. That's if he can find a new whole Samsung has not patched, which is becoming harder with monthly security updates.
It is well accepted around here that sooner or later only nexus devices will be rootable or have any development done for it.
If I had known that earlier, it could've saved me a lot of hassle but this is where I am right now. My new phone is the S7 edge and I really want to use the S5 active for something else.
No one knows of anyone I can even pay to look into maybe even changing the firmware? No way to load custom firmware at all?

No. Samsung locked it down. They made it so the bootloader can't be downgraded. You have to understand most of the real good developers walked away from Samsung and now refuse to work on their devices or even buy them. When it comes to developers Samsung is at the top of the list right next to Xiaomi of devices not to get. More and more teams are even dropping all support for Samsung devices. It's just the way it is really.
And since it's a phone the hardware can't be changed either?

It can be but you would have to find a device that has the old 4.4.4 rom and then swap mother boards. Not easy at all. Let alone the min it gets connected to a cell network it will update anyway.
I know it's a hard thing to do but I would get used to it mainly with the new device you just. Got.
I have found out that the new update will break the current root method.
There currently does not seem to be a way to downgrade if your devices is updated.
If you want to root, do not update.
This is aggravating because I only ever use root for ad blockers nowadays. Oh well.
Maybe with some luck the bootloader will be unlocked.

on a good note (no pun intended) the device almost doesnt even need root. you have Good Lock to adjust Notifications and colors, and a Theme Store as well. As OP said, blocking ads is about all one really needs root for on this device. Sure with xposed you can have a circle battery icon, and a few other neat tricks. But these can all be lived without. I am currently staring at my 2 replacement Note7's I just picked up a few minutes ago. Ive got Software Updates disabled, but cant pull the trigger to start the root process, lol.

Unfortunately, factor resestting won't affect the software, and you'll still be on the same update. I even tried flashing the original firmware files via Odin but that did not work either.
i concur, i bricked my Note 7 trying to root it after i got my replacement yesterday 9/21.
i got an internal usc email in regards to the phe update which states it will only let you postpone it 4 times before it will automatically install.
unfortunately the dbag in the store activated my phone on the wrong line and for some reason thought a firmware update would correct it smh so i didnteven have a chance to root since he already installed my screen protector as well.
