what's wrong with this phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

There's nothing 'wrong' with it. It was more than likely rooted via the Odin recovery method, so now it will show custom at every boot.

I'm more than certain that it's happening to those who flashed the custom boot.img in Odin for root access early on. Happened to me as well. Ended up doing a complete factory restore using the stock image and it disappeared. I've rooted via the new method, am running Synergy Rom, and the custom screen no longer shows.

All the sim card is for is for connecting to Verizon (somewhat like AT&T's sim cards) putting the sim card from your Nexus wouldn't mean anything.

As Nit3mare said s3 was rooted using boot.img but until now there was no unlocked padlock image when booting ( at least i power off the phone twice a day). It just showed up after accidental sim card swap.

Right, you say the s3 is rooted. There's your issue.

And as far as your sim card theory goes, I came straight from the Gnex myself. Popped my sim card in, was good to go with no issues. It's the boot image used.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

it's not sim card theory. I just want to know what did trigger this. after reflashing to stock it had been gone for a while. root the phone using Noxius Ninja's tool then put back everything on the phone again like root explorer, tb, rom manager etc.. Now unlocked padlock image is back then device stature is from NORMAL to MODIFED. probably one of those apps which needs root access. now i suspect cwm. but as long as i could go back to stock i should have no problem.

I doubt you've completely reverted to stock. Flashing a stock rom is not reverting to complete stock. The reason why you are getting the custom screen, is because of the Odin root method, and that's that.

CM10 and external sd storage

So, I flashed CM10 nightly. Now I cannot get it to mount the external sd card. Ti backup will not recognize it, nor can I pull up any of the photos or music that are stored there. Any ideas?

Thanks again. Just slowing down and following the directions is usually an easier way to a solution...
but back to the original problem. I still can't get the sd card to read. If I go to the gallery like I want to look at the pictures stored on it, I can see them greyed out in the background, but I get an error message. In settings, storage, it detects the card and tells its volume, but won't let me look at it.? At a loss. Gonna redownload the cm nightly and reflash and see, but I don't get it.

I know you might not want to hear this, but it might be your SD card...
Those things don't last forever and errors on them can sometimes be tricky to diagnose because bad sectors can sometimes still be read even if they are bad.
My suggestion, if your PC can still read the card then you should start by backing everything up. Then, try using another SD card in the phone. If the phone can read that, then there might be something wrong with the first card. You can also try using the phone to reformat the problem card.
Try to debug in a way that determines if maybe the card is the problem. Just the other day I had a 32 gig card go bad on me. It happened when my phone fell and came out of it's case. After that the card didn't work anymore. I remembered seeing "shock proof" on sandisk's descriptions, but I always thought it was a marketting thing. Maybe it wasn't. There's also a possibility that my card simply failed before I dropped the phone, and the reboot caused the system to remount the card and finally see the problem.
Either way, it went bad and I lost my stuff. A cautionary tale.

Need Google apps package..

Hi all. Today I installed CyanogenMod 10.1 using twrp on my newly rooting phone. I followed a youtube video by Graeme Biggs. I should have watched it fully before I started. I neglected to download a Google apps package. He said I could find it on XDA. I did a search and could not find it. Can somebody point me in the right direction to this file? Thankyou.

Your signature says HTC One. Is your phone an HTC One or an HTC One XL? That's very important to know because you can brick your phone if you install the wrong software.

Hi. I was using my one to post in the forum. I was installing CyanogenMod on my Rogers one x.

You should fully research and understand any root/mod process, before you start it. You also shouldn't rely on YouTube guides, this being one of the many reasons.

Yes thanks. I realize I should have done a little more research. I will certainly in the future.

So I went and plugged my one x into my PC so U could try abd flash the Google apps package and my phone does not show up as a removable drive. Since my **** up with trying to install cyanogenmod, my phone has been in continuous bootloop and only going as far as the HTC screen before rebooting. I can get it into twrp. How would I be able to get the zip file from my computer to my phone? Is there something else I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks for any suggestions.

Go into TWRP, connect your phone to pc, select mount in TWRP menu, select mount usb storage, your phone should show up as a removable drive now, copy file from pc to phone.

Hi Timmaaa. I tries what you suggested and it still did not show up on my computer. My computer makes the same sound as it always does when an external device is attached. When in tarp and I press mount, a window opens up which shows the storage. It says SD card (0MB). Should something be checked off in partitions to moun t? I tried to mount the SD several times an nothing shows up. Thanks.

I have now found out that it does not show up as an htc device. It shows up as an f drive and a g drive. I tried to copy the gapps to the g drive and it said I need to format the removable disk. I hope that this works.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Ah ok, you did a factory reset in bootloader at some point didn't you, that corrupts your sd card. You will need to format it like Windows instructed, format it to fat32 format and you'll be able to access it again. Unfortunately any data you had on it has been wiped now, I hope there wasn't anything too important on there.
Sent from my Evita

Thanks. I did reformat the SD card as windows asked. Then I copied both files onto my phones SD cars and followed the instructions again using twrp. It said that they were both installed successfully but theCyanogenMod home screen did not come up after completion. When I reformatted the SD card, I just let windows do. I did not set it to format to anything specific. I will try it again when I get home tomorrow from work,. Thanks again for your help.

If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after you've flashed the ROM and gapps.

Thanks. I am s-on. I will look at it tomorrow and figure out how to do that.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Just extract the boot.img from the root of the ROM zip, put it in your fastboot folder on your pc, bit your phone into bootloader and connect it to your pc, wait for it to say fastboot usb on your phone display then give this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now reboot your phone and it'll boot into the ROM.

Hi Timmaaa. I am still having problems flashing the boot.img from cyanogenmod to my Evita. I put it I'm my fastboot folder and typed in the command as you have told me. I get this message pop up from fastboot.exe. ( this application has failed to start because AbdWinApi.Dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem). I just do not understand what I could be doing wrong. Is it possible I am not using the right folder? I started this a week ago but got the Norovirus from work and could not reply sooner.

Messed up pretty bad.

I unlocked and rooted my Nexus the day I got it, but today I decided to finally flash a ROM. I installed CWM through the Rom Manager app, backed up my EFS, and then hit Factory Reset. It started, but then froze. After waiting a while, I decided to force shut it down, which wasn't such a great idea. I can turn my phone on, but the entire SD Card directory seems to be gone, and I have no signal, even after restoring my EFS backup with the zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510966. CWM can't access any backups, or anything on the SD Card. What are my options? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You probably just deleted your SD card partition. I'm not sure its gone forever but you can try flashing a factory image

[Q] Asus TF300T OS deleted

I tried to install Cyanogenmod 11 on my Asus Tf300T with TWRP. It was suggested that I clear the internal storage COMPLETELY so I have as much of the 32GB possible. I accidentally cleared the micro sd card, which had CM11, the stock rom backup and all my other backups. I took the sd card out and put CM11 on it again, but on my PC. I cleared the right storage on my tablet and then re-inserted the micro sd card thinking it would recognize the file for CM11, it did not. I tried rebooting (and held down vol. down to go into custom recovery) and it stayed on the startup screen with the Asus logo. It is now impossible to do anything with the tablet. Is there still a way I can get the stock rom back on the tablet (if I download it from the net)?
