I understand why my phone displays a modified status I'm rooted but why is my wife's unrooted and completely unmodified and pure stock phone display it also? The phones were bran new too (I watched them open the boxes lol)

And on a side note why under the boot loader my phone displays an official status and the flash counter is at 0 like I'm completely stock.... But I'm rooted with cwm.....
 
I think some apps will cause the system to say "modified". Not sure which apps but if I could find it, I'll post it...there was some discussion about it somewhere :)

As far as the flash counter at 0, how did you root? Casual method? Have you flashed any roms yet?
 
I rooted with the casual method remember lol u helped me :)

And I'm not sure what app she would have that would trip the modified status... Everything is from the play store... The only posible thing it COULD be (but I doubt it) would be the Google keyboard because she didn't like the Sammy keyboard lol.
 
A custom rom or non-official verizon software on the device will cause the status to display modified.

So basicly when you install something from the play store it changes your status? I don't think I'm following you... She has nothing unoficial on the phone... No root no custom ROM not even dubugging enables or unknown sources... I just don't see why it says that...
 
Okay I just went back and checked mine and now it comes up as normal... What gives lol I don't think root and cwm is normal lol
 
You know now that I think about it I did disable a bunch of her app would that cause the modified status?
Only one way to find out ;) Enable them and reboot?

Hmm, odd :hmmmm:
I wouldn't fret it, but I understand your concern/puzzlement. I don't think I know of a definitive answer :)
 
Interesting . . . Well I guess I should revise my post. By non-official verizon software . . . I meant - A non-verizon operating system (rom). Mine went to modified after CleanRom 6. Playstore or other installed apps should not effect the "system status".
