You could just reflash the firmware.

My phone was running on 2.1 which was updated through SEUS. To get 2.2, I rooted my phone. Now my phone is back on 1.6 and is stuck there. I used Flashtool to go back to 2.1 so I can install xrecovery and eventually get to 2.2 but now its not working. I get Flash successful massage but when I check my phone it is still 1.6
I have tried 2-3 different Flash tools, 2-3 different ROMs for 2.1 but hasnt worked. I am stuck at 1.6 and only able to make calls and receive messages because after rooting even the GPRS is not working.
I will greatly appreciate some guru taking up my case.
You could give us some more information because there are parts that I seem to miss...

So, you updated your phone from 1.6 to 2.1 via SEUS.

How did this happen? Which rooting method did you use?
Only 2 work in 2.1 as far as I know: Flashtool and One-Click Root app.
Rooting doesn't change your firmware, it's just modifying some files to allow superuser access.

So, you flashed a 2.1 ROM again but now your phone doesn't work? And it's still on 1.6? Have you tried the Repair option on SEUS or PC Companion?
Ok, this has been happening to a lot of people lately.
Can someone smarter than me find out if SE followed through with their plans to stop rooted phones from using SEUS or PC Companion?
Unknown13x said that this was coming with the 2.3.3 Gingerbread update. He said we will have to be running unmodified stock firmware to be able to run update service.
I'm rooted and on custom ROM and yet PC Companion and SEUS both recognize my phone, I even repaired it with SEUS once to get back to stock.
What strikes me as weird in the OP is how did rooting sent him back to 1.6...
Must have chosen the wrong file to flash from SD to get back to 1.6

I guess that the OP got confused and used the 1.6 root method(The one that Bin4ry,jerpelea and biktor made). There was a step to downgrade to an older 1.6 firmware to make use of FOTA debug menu.

Ah, that would explain it!
Then an update with PC Companion should fix this, right?

Yes, unless SE have updated SEUS and PC companion to detect rooted/tampered phones. But flash tool should work all the time. Don't know why he is getting issues with it.

Have you done it recently on the updated SEUS? I am afraid to try. I have read a few others have come and gone with this problem. No matter what they do, the phone resets to 1.6.

Really???
I did it a week or two ago, when I got in reboot loop trying to install the custom kernel and my recovery was broken. Flashtool didn't recognise my phone either,
so I used SEUS. Took me back to the latest 2.1 (2.1.B.0.1).
Maybe it has to do with regions, some may have not received 2.1 officially, so SEUS rolls the phone back to 1.6. Don't know... Now I'm afraid to use it again too!

If you're in the US, shouldn't it take you to AT&T 2.1 release?
Thanks for the discussions but what should I do now? SEUS is not working for me...and flashtool gives me a thumbs up but whenever I check my phone, it is still on 1.6.. Let me know what you guys need to figure out how do I get out of this hole.

Rooting has nothing to do with Kies.

You'll loose root, but it shouldn't be so hard to re root.
Hey guys, so a couple of days ago i got an OTA update and it was 0.7mb :S i updated it today and now ive lost root
can i get it back by using the same files/root method as i did before?
i used "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4" And obviously Odin
Thanks!
Yes u can
Why not? Just repeat the whole rooting steps.

No reason why not are the Samsung USB drivers installed ???

Yeah it all worked thanks
I was just curious because sometimes they release updates to stop the root method used before (at least they did on the LG P990)
thanks again
hello, i have installed the Swedish KB rom I9300XXDLIH,
i odined cfroot 6.4, and it did not root my device (su app installed, but no root )
how do i root it?
Try with siyah kernel
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
did you try chainfires methods if you have problems....ie. Flash cf root with auto reboot unchecked, then boot recovery, which triggers installation?
just keep root it using cf root 6.4
is like that
ok, thanks for the quick reply's,
anyone also know why cant i see the "smart rotation" feature under display?
well, what advice could i have from you please to root my SGS3?
i have
GT-I9300 - Romania (Vodafone)
PDA: I9300XXDLIH
CSC: I9300VFGDLJ1
Version: 4.1.1
Date: 2012-10-04
what do you suggest for rooting? that is i want to ask if "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar" is it Ok to root my S3 thru Odin or should i wait for something else?

if cf doesn't work you need to flash it with auto reboot unchecked, then use 3 button combo to boot into recovery which triggers the installation

well i did root succesfully my S3, but now i get the famous notice:
"Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
i even did use Triangle away 2.10 but now unfortunately it seems it isn't able to reset counter in JB 4.1.1 as it did succeed before with ICS 4.0.4
What the heck to do now?
Same here regarding the software updates after rooting JB with CF 6.4. Any ideas on this issue?

after reading in several threads in my newbie mind it did occur the following"
- maybe only apparently cf root 6.4 does the job- cause these lil issues weren't coming up in ICS 4.0.4
-maybe this glicth should be looked into and then maybe we get a new ".tar" like cf root 6.5 or so....
PS please don't blame me for the above

The root is there...my Titanium Backup is reporting that it can acquire root. The only problem is with the broken OTA functionality.
Did you stop and think you have the latest OTA, what's the point of downloading and flashing the same update every time you check...
Beside, you use ODIN to flash the latest update, whats the point of using the OTA function if every time it flashes an OTA you need to go and reflash cf-root...
Personally I use mobile ODIN after flashing and rooting so I don't need to keep re-installing root...

Thanks for the reply. This is more a workarround than a fix to the initial problem. I would like to use OTA even with a rooted phone.
Root fix?
Any further ideas on how to root the S3 on the ROM: I9300XXDLIH?
I have tried CF Root 6.4 using Odin 3.04 and 1.85, still no problems.
I'm not sure about the unchecking auto reboot when flashing the CF-Root 6.4 and then booting into recovery to prompt an install? I've booted into recovery but not sure about how to prompt it into an install?
I like the new 4.1.1 ROM, but disappointed my apps aren't running correctly because the phone's not rooted?
You have tobhave auto reboot so it flashes the files for root

well that's somehow half true in our case
..and why i say that
when i had ICS 4.0.4 following the advices from xda i did succeed properly the following:
1. Achieve fast & safe root
2. Preserving the capacity of my device to get OTA updates
(3. TriangleAway did work as a charm- did reset flawless the counter)
as a summary of the above said all was superb
now - with stock 4.1.1 with root performed ( in the same manner) i get a superb msg: "device modified"
and TriangleAway doesn't reset at all the counter anymore
i must say i did follow the others advice and did - using ODIN Mobile- revert to stock ICS 4.0.4 and then flashed Stock rom vodafone 4.1.1 to try to avoid loosing root and to be able to get some OTA updates
it seems that at this point i did fail somewhere when i used TitaniumBackup in restoring some apps:
1. this one asked me if to revert to the old Mac Address- and i accepted in order that google apps keep recognizing the device - did this wreck up the clean status of my just flashed phone?
2. or did i wreck up the phone's status by restoring from a backup ( i think i did a restore from a backup that included system backup too) - in this case before flashing- i should do backup only for the apps- without any system backup?
I've tried updating my phone via kies but nothing happens, it seems to hang once it's finished downloading the firmware update.. Has anyone experienced this? Am I doing something wrong?
I was rooted, but I used Odin via PC to get back to stock.

Yeah I tried updating to 2.3.6 OTA on and wifi through software update.. it just froze on me after it rebooted when going into the update process. It as stuck at loading screen.. Any way I can just flash to 4.0.3 stock?
Do you have a stock kernel?
Anyways open kies on pc, click tools, upgrade and initialize with no phone connected to pc, input phone model, input s\n can be found behind battery of phone. if anything It might be possible itwill prompt to flash the firmware you are already currently on (happened to me). Update. Once it is complete do the steps over and you should be presented with ics on the next upgrade and initialize attempt. Good luck

Just flash the stock package from the stickies. I have never used kies across 3 different Samsung devices.
