Help Device status custom

asimkon

Lurker
I have a brand new Samsung S3 mini from ebay and i installed skype and Root App Delete (without deleting any System App). I deleted my Google account via Settings as i did not want to be synchronized with my Contacts. Afterwards i noticed that my device status is custom and i can not return back to normal.

As far as i know my phone is not rooted, but i have not a sim card inside (no option for unmount sd card in settings). I do not have got Samsung account but i have got Google and Skype. Is it a way to get it to normal and wait some days later.

Additionally:
I bought a otg micro usb cable in order to read my usb stick but Samsung can not read USB devices, is it a problem?

you have to reflash your phone to restore the device status to official.

1. find your correct firmware. use google search.
2. use odin 3 to flash firmware to your phone. use google for tutorial.
3. when done. Turn off your phone
4. Hold home + power + volume up to enter recovery mode (NOT download mode)
5. the android recovery should apply the country code thing (i forgot what it is called)
6. boot your phone and your device status should be official.
