[Q] I have flashed stock but the it says "custom" in dowload screen?

I tried to find this but I didn´t . So I have flashed to stock and made a factory reset but download screen still says I am using custom. Updating trough OTA doesn´t work, update says "device has been modified". Any ideas how can I fix this?
EDIT: I forgot to tell. I flashed a S III cwm accidentally into my S III mini first. I had to fix it with this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093727. It fixed all but this update/not official thing.

Do you have tried KIES?
(check your CSC *#1234* also)
Download and install with Odin a Stock room, then try to update/upgrade and reinstall it with Kies (will install the same rom... again and will not clear the rom counter, but it will say "oficial")

Also make sure to check that your baseband matches the build number ( last few digits )
I had that problem too when I put farias 4.1.2 V2 ROM on my phone
Had to go back to UK ROM 4.1.1 , and now I can receive updates
But phone is still rooted Etc
Hope this helps

In your specific case you need to re-flash a new recovery image and a new boot image , then flash the official rom or my V3.

How to re-flash ????? I have the same problem I have flashed stock but the it says "custom" in dowload screen?
Yes i flash s3 cwm I have this problemmmm :/ help

I also flashed rooted rom provided by avicohh and now when I try to check for updates it says your device is modified
He never cautioned in his post that flashing his rom would change it to Custom. Now I lost update capability. Very very sad

I reflashed same rom yesterday night and after that rom status was official as I able to check for updates even after number reboots. But today morning it has again started giving same pop up when checking for updates (your device has been modified. Software updates are not available).
What to do? Pls tell. Rooted just to get extra storage space for the apps and even that could not be done successfully!!

Hi..if you just want to get back official updates try flashing this rom http...://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Before that flash 2 files attached by him (Wipe & Param). I too get them back but I think while trying too hard to get swap working I might have messed up something thats why my firmware status again changed to Custom.
PS: Avoid busybox (personal opinion) 'cos that the only root app that I again installed and perhaps before that everything was fine.

can someone help me return my at&t one to stock?

I have been trying for a while, can't get it to boot. Someone posted a zip of the factory rom over in the at&t section, doesn't seem to want to flash. Not sure if it's missing something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Umh, you will return stock but the rom posted in your section will not work?

No, it doesn't work. It's from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270552
Downloaded the recovery, and at the bottom someone posted the stock rom. TWRP won't read the rom, and cwm will read it but after 3 seconds it reboots. He said he didn't test it, so something appears to be wrong with it.
Also tried flashing the stock recovery, and that just gives me a blank screen with an arrow in a triangle after a little while.

Seems a rom.zip problem.
Stock recovery will not flash

Never relock your bootloader if your using a custom rom or recovery, so first of all, get it unlocked again.
which kernel did you flash ?

bulletproof kernel.. is there a guide to do that or can i follow the following one:

I believe bullet proof is a sense only kernel, CM is an asop rom not a sense rom.
Just unlock your bootloader at HTC Dev,
Once its unlocked, you might get lucky and just be able to flash a correct kernel to get booting again, failing that you'll either have to flash a new rom or restore your backup.

Sorry that took long it now says unlocked. How do i go about install cyanogenmod again or do i have to install a stock?

Try flashing an AOSP kernel now, something like this one, hopefully after that your phone will boot back to CM.

is your backup a CM rom or a sense rom ?

yes the rom will still be there if it was only a factory reset, if you did an advanced wipe inside something like TWRP then it wont.
Factory reset just restores whatever rom is on your phone to the state it was at when you first installed it, ie you will just have to set it back up again with email addresses and passwords, carrier and country etc after it boots.

you will need to enter recovery, push or sideload it to your internal sdcard and then flash it in recovery.

You should be able to run a factory reset an then flash kryptonite just fine. If youre still having issues, I'd restore a nandroid if you have one, if not rsd to stock. What error did it give you?

Yes, if you're using TWRP then to perform a factory reset you'd go to wipe and then slide the factory reset slider. Make sure to make a nandroid next time! To restore to complete stock youll need to either need to do it manually through fastboot, or use motorola's flashing utility called RSD Lite (I use version 6.1.5, use google to find this). The site I usually use appears to be unavailable at the moment, so you're on your own finding the sbf file as well. Keep in mind this will update your bootloader and erase all data on your phone (edit the xml file in the zip to avoid this if you want)

Thanks but I don't want to go stock completely ,but just want to use the KK ROM for the time being,otherwise AOSP is the way to go for me.
Just one more question, since you said by flashboot I can flash, can I use this ROM ?..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/fxz-xt1053-xt1060-google-play-edition-4-t2715488
I have flashed it earlier but just that my internal storage was accidentally wiped out by me.:banghead
UPDATE: Changing TWRP did the trick..

The phone works but there's a boot issue and I can't upload android version

Hi, I have this problem: when I boot or reboot the phone it starts in recovery mode, and then I have to press start to actually boot the phone. It is the same when I reboot after an upload to next version, but of course it fails because it doesn't reboot but it goes to recovery mode. That's really tough, because android pie is making me crazy, it is full of bugs, slow and almost unusable. I have rooted the phone and flashed the stock firmware after unlocking bootloader. I don't know what to do, it really is impossible to use this version of Android pie. I don't know if I should re-flash everything, because I have a lot of data and it would be an enormous backup to do with the risk to be lost. Please I beg you help me for this also because I found other useful help on this forum so I am already thankful for all you're doing here. Cheers!

You said you manually flashed the stock firmware? You can maybe try reflashing your boot partition with the stock one.
