[Q] System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone

Verizon
bmf1
4.1.2
Tried using Casual Revision 630 Build 4,788
Now I receive the error "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone".
Looking for help. Willing to pay via paypal. Have webex available if needed.
Experience preferred.
Looking to fix the error and for someone to explain how all this works. Im a Sr Network Engineer so I kinda know how **** works, just never done this before and have had too many drinks to research.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

unlock your bootloader.
do a search this has been covered in detail many times if you need further assistance.
Getting the error: SECURE FAIL: KERNAL
Frustrated. This kinda gives me an excuse to pick up a S4 tomorrow but I don't feel like hearing about it from the wife!
Are you sure your rooted?
Paid for Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit; device not supported (even after update)
AARGH
Hey Bierce,
I'm not sure if I am or not. The device was rooted about 6 months ago but I did nothing with it and I think the updates might have screwed it up.
Long story short:
Rooted about 8 months ago, I get the unlocked padlock during boot but I never loaded a rom
Downloaded terminal app today, got the $ instead of the #
Tried to root again via Casual and now its FUBAR (old military term, google it)
$25 via paypal to whoever walks me through this.

My phone is the AT&T version of the note 2. The root that I used was for this version. As for the boot loader, I'm not sure what you mean. I ran not the files through odin, just as described in the video.odin showed that everything was good. As did the phone until it re booted. Samsung is doing automatic Security updates now. And after the phone booted up, a message popped up from Samsung saying "an attempt to access a Secure area of your phone without authorization has been blocked."
My next step will be to install a custom rom. But I don't know if they will be able to block me from accomplishing this as well. This whole thing is really getting frustrating. It all started when I ran the update to 4.3 couple of weeks ago, and lost my tethering ability. This all I want. Just to get the free tethering app to work again. I had jelly bean 4.1.2. And the tethering app worked perfectly every time. Now with 4.3, doesn't work anymore. Do I need to downgrade back to 4.1.2? Or is their an easier solution? I'm wondering if it will matter what jelly bean you're using anymore if they're going to do auto security up dates that block all these type of things like custom rooms and rooting. Please tell me I'm wrong!
Thanks.

I need a rooted rom for Galaxy SM-G920V anything later than OG7

So basically I never wanted to update my phone but I accidentally pressed Install Now when I was trying to open the messaging app. Now I can't root it anymore or downgrade it. Worst mistake ever for my phone :crying:
So my phone found a new update, but I don't want to update it because I want to look for a updated ROOTED rom that is later than OG7. If anyone has a odin flashable / zip flashable, PLEASE message me. I have a friend that works with android roms, he said that its something to do with the bootloader and it has to be rewritten by hand to make it rootable because of verizons bootloader, and to unlock the bootloader. PingPongRoot doesn't work anymore after the 5.1.1 update. I really hate this update. it slowed my phone down a lot. **** you verizon :crying::crying::crying:
Anyways I need a rooted rom to flash on my phone to make my phone think its signed by Samsung or Verizon and it's a new update. Please help me root my phone. I really got nothing to root it now ;-;

Sorry, it doesn't exist for the Verizon Galaxy S6. The last rooted ROM was OE2.

Have you tried updating to Marshmallow? I'm on CleanROM 1.5 android 5.0.2 OE2, and have been curious of the new android version, but at the same time do not want to lose root. Let me know if Marshmallow is worth losing root. Only advantage I see to root at this point is not having all that damn bloatware I really hate and cannot remove without root. Thanks.

I rather not update it unless
1: A root method is available
2: A rooted rom for Marshmallow is available
Just saying. upgrading to 5.1.1 unintentially (mainly because i was directly going to the messaging app but accidentally pressed install now) made me loose my root access. That's why I'm seeing if there is a rooted rom for that rom or a root method for that room.

From what I understand, it seems verizon is never going to allow it. Just look at Note 4 from verizon, it came out in 2014 and still no sign there will ever be root available for that one either. I'm even considering moving to tmo since there is root on their devices. Good luck.

how can i see if my phone is fully Unrooted

Hi all . I have rooted my phone (LG G3) and because of a problem i was forced to go to my service provider (LG) since its still under warranty . So knowing that rooting voids warranty i unrooted using superSU and then i verified with root checker getting back the message "sorry root access is not properly installed on this device" . So i thought that its all done and proceeded to use my warranty . couple of days pass and they called me and said that root was found on my phone and cant take it under warranty and i have to pay if i want it fixed which i am not gonna do cause its 200 euro to fix the motherboard. I asked them if i can do anything and they said that if i remove completely the root i can go to them again and they manage to fix it for free. So i flashed a new stock ROM to be sure this time is fine. Now what i am asking is can i somehow check in depth if its rooted or ever been rooted like traces and stuff . is there any program that lets me do so? i tried to find the program the technicians used but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance for all the answers and for your time .

[Completed] OTA Updates after Root

Hi Guys,
i have some questions concerning rooting. I have a stock Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with T-Mobile branding. I would like to install a Custom ROM because my battery life is so bad but i love this phone (for example because of its water resistance and the fact that my hobby is diving ).
So my plan is:
1. root my device and install a custom Nougat ROM (to change the screen resolution)
2. when the official update is out i want to go back to stock Firmware
3. now my question: Is it possible to receive OTA Updates after getting back to stock firmware?
I know know is set to 0x1 after a root and im going to lose my varranty but thats no problem, i would only like to receive OTA Updates after going back to stock firmware.
Thank you for your help!
Greetings from Munich and have a great new Year 2017
Hi!
As long as your device is stock, recovery included, you should receive the ota no problem. So flashing stock firmware and recovery should do the trick. :good:
Don't accept an ota if you do happen to get an update notification, if you are not completely stock. It will fail.
Last resort too, is flashing an updated version manually. If that's possible for your device.
Good luck!
I posted i thought but don't see it i rooted an LG ls675 with king root removed a couple preinstalled apps sprint zone and 2 amazon apps I mistakenly tried ota failed found out this unrooted my phone and tried another ota that failed also running stock installed a root browser titanium bu busy box ect do i need to remove these apps or will i have to do factory reset to get this update running 5.1.1
