As title says. I noticed is couldn't share my screen with my Sammy tv I thought maybe it's to do with Knox and bootloader so I reverted everything and it works now.
Any 1 else experience this.

What is reverted? Unroot or factory reset?

I have a Galaxy S (Vibrant) and my screen is completely cracked and I can't see or use it at all. I wanted to know how I could restore it back to factory settings so I can send it in to get a new one... I've heard rooting voids your warranty but I cant use the screen to restore it through the phone. Please help
Assuming the phone is still actually functional, you can ODIN it...you should only need the hardware buttons (and proper timing) for that.
If you can't see it, how is anyone else going to see it and know that it is rooted?

Highly dobut that. I'm sure it will not be torn to pieces by scrupulous workers trying to debug the fact if the phone rooted or not.
Looks like I have to return my Z2 tablet. Everything was fine for two weeks but now not only has the vibrate function stopped working, but I am getting randomly redirected to the Google Play store every few minutes to a page for some game or dating site. I realised that I may have downloaded an app that caused this, so I did a factory reset but it still happens.
Anyone know why the problem would still be there after a hard reset? Is it possible that whatever bit of adware is redirecting me has put something on the tablet that can't be got rid of? Or has it corrupted my Google account so I will take the problem wherever I go now?
I am not rooted (nor do I wish to be).
Really fed up because apart from these two issues, I really loved the tablet
Try clean installing the firmware with Sony Update Service or PC Companion

Thanks for taking the time to reply, it is appreciated.. Are there any step by step guides anywhere as to how to do this? (Sorry, I'm not very technical).
When I got the tablet, I was immediately asked to update to .402 which I did. I noticed that when I did the factory reset, the firmware stayed at .402. I presume you are saying that I need a clean version of this, which makes sense, it's just that I don't really know where to start.

In the end, I decided to get a replacement tablet sent and return the old one as the vibrate function is broken on the original and I don't think that's acceptable on a two week old device.
However, your helpful advice on reinstalling firmware is something I will use if I get the same issue with the replacement.
Kind regards
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.

I have disabled a bunch of bloat without root and it has not changed to modified.
It's a Fact!!!

I have verified for myself, that my Verizon LG G3 says "Modified" as well, yet it's a fact that I have never rooted or modified any of my system settings... I'm running Stock 6.0 Marshmallow... Go figure... Who knows with Verizon...
I'm rooted (w/ an unlocked bootloader) but the Google splash screen doesnt show it.. kinda odd, anyone else notice this? I'm running LRX21L.
I noticed it too and i like it. Clean interface upon logon now.
Probably or its because its using HTC's bootloader
Anyone have an N5 or N7 that's running LP w/ an unlocked bootloader?? I'm wondering if it's an N9 bug or intentional.
Yeah, but when you relock it, it flashes "This is a development device not intended for production use" in big fat red letters at the top of the screen on boot. I've got to return mine for warranty... we'll see how that goes. I guess it does have a tamper bit.

I can confirm it was because of the HTC bootloader. The symbol is available on my Nexus 6

The unlocked lock shows up on the N5 during boot.
OK.. Thanks everyone.. Seems like it's just the Nexus 9.. I'm unsubscribing.. (The moderator can lock this thread if they lock Q&A's.)
I have an old phone from work, however its locked down. I have reset it, but it still remembers its a work phone.
Is there any way round this?

Hi, what model is that?
Sorry, I'm stupid I didn't notice you answered this question on the Samsung Galaxy S21 forum I think it should be possible.
