Device status: Modified

[dan079]

Have any one notice this.

Used triangle away and my flash counter is 0

I wonder this has any impact for those who want to send their device for service/ warranty?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Read the thread for Triangle Away, it explains this.

Flash the stock rom for your region.
It will revert back to normal

Sorry to hijack your thread, but i noticed mine says the same, and i havent flashed it. However i have root access, so i guess that is enough to make it "modified".
Would this go back to normal, if i unroot it?

Funnily enough, I noticed this just today on mine - mine is an original unlocked phone, all I've done is root it.

Rooting it involves an "unauthorised" flash. You need to Triangle Away, pull the battery then revert to stock... As detailed in the Triangle Away post.

Just follow these two video in this thread

And you will be able to have your phones status say "Normal" instead of "Modified"

I just noticed this on my GNOTE II and was wondering can the service provider read this?

 

[Glebun]

yes

 

[bigd5783]

yes

Nosy mother f*ckers! My device MINE NOT YOURS! Now go sit in the corner.

On a serious note though I wonder if they can or will do anything due to this state being set as Modified.

 

[Glebun]

they can deny warranty. you can easily revert to stock though

I have Assurion for that. Not worried about warranty claims. I was more worried about purposely affecting my internet speeds just to be ass holes. I could see Verizon doing that just to be Verizon.

oh, I thought you asked if they can read that if you send the phone to them

nah, I don't think they'll do that

 

[bigd5783]

sorry should have been more specific. I was meaning if they can digitally read it from their diagnostic software or whatever they have. I've never worked in a cell phone call center. Maybe I should go get a job at one just to scope out what they can and cannot find out by just a push of a button.
