Hi,
my phone keep asking me to install the software update (file size 93.72mb), I'm not sure what software this file is belong to, I think this is a new firmware of Android (not 100% sure about this).
When I received this phone, I've already rooted with the Stock ROM but I haven't reset the counter back to 0 using TriangleAway yet, so I just want to ask is safe for me to install this update without reset the counter?
Currently my phone's details are:

Update and you will loose root. You can't update your phone with ota when you are rooted. DO that in kies.
But reroot with CF-Root again.. If you want to be stock then use Triangle away update and factory reset.

Sorry I'm very new the Android system, may I ask what do you mean I can't update the phone with ota when the phone is rooted? what will happen if I press the phone to install the update? is that mean the update will be install to the phone and the phone will loose the root and I need to use Odin to reroot again?
The bottom line is I don't really want to update as my phone is fully working, it just annoying that the phone just keep popping up the message asking me to update. Is there anyway I can clear the notification from my phone about the update? Currently I have the icon on the top left hand side of the phone keeps showing the update is available and I can't clear that off, all I can do is postponed the time to 3 hours and after that it will pop up again.
PS: Thanks for the quick reply by the way!!!!

It will fail more than likely .

If it does update you will need to root again .
The bottom line is I don't really want to update as my phone is fully working, it just annoying that the phone just keep popping up the message asking me to update.
If you search you will find out how to turn notification off this question has been asked hundred times or more .
LF1 is old firmware .

I just want to know how to turn off the firmware update notification that's all, as I still want other notifications showing.
I know LF1 is the old firmware, my phone is one of those International version, I just don't know what's the correct standard stock firmware is available from samfirmware.com. I live in Australia and the Australian Stock Firmware is for Vodafone and Optus, which I'm not sure after flashing one of those firmware, will it have the operator's logo on it?
If I flash it with one of the latest firmware, do I need to reset the counter first or I can just simply using Odin to flash it and reset it to factory default once is finish loading?

Read the OZ thread if your are in that location .

But a guess#
Remove custom rom counter >>> run Triangle Away then flash stock rom via Odin .

The ota update will fail while you are rooted. Update with kies to latest firmware and reroot with CF-ROOT 6.4.. Use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze softwareupdate notification.
CWM now supports OTA updates... I updated OTA last night with root, and lost ROOT but succeeded in updating with CWM and root. So just update and reflash CF-Root

Hello, sorry if my question had already been answered sometime, I'd be glad if you give me some advice.
I once tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S II using traditional method with odin, superoneclick and insecure kernel. It seemed to go well, but I didn't flashed stock kernel after (so when I reboot my phone, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, alongside with its name).
The problem is - I can't get an update through the Firmware update in phone settings, as it goes like this: I check for updates through phone settings, it says that an update for firmware is available, then it downloads the package, and goes into reboot, but when everything loads back, it says "Failed to update firmware", try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre.
And when I try to connect to Kies, it either won't connect, or it would and say that an upgrade is available, I start doing backup and then "data backup cannot proceed because of an unexpected error"
Anyway, I'm ready to flash original firmware, I'm not really sure why I even rooted the phone in the first place. But maybe it's possible to do something to get updates through the phone without unrooting it?
I'm located in Russia, and the info via *#1234# is:
PDA: I9100XEKE2
PHONE: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100OXEKE1
Build info: Fri May 6 07:45:29 KST 2011

Latest firmware version: PDA:KI4 / PHONE: KI1 / CSC:KI1 (SER)
Any thoughts?
Heh, what are you doing here? You'd better visit this forum. In the header you can find in "Instructions" section the "Instruction for new user surviving". In russian Then read the thread and FAQ. Good luck. It's very easy to solve your "problem".
Or you can read first 3 posts of Intratech's thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Very useful IMO.

My Samsung galaxy S II is rooted and I would like to have new update. In this case what I have to do? Do I have to flash the original XWKE2 Stock Kernel again via ODIN or have to do something else?
Thank you in advance for your help!
yes, you would have to flash the original kernal for kies to work.
If you wan to update, why don't you use Odin and get the latest stock foirmware from Intratech firmware thread?

I've tried with Odin to flash the original kernal in my case XWKE2 but nothing happened. I lost the Download access. The superuser permission is still there and when I try to connect Kies it didn't work. Then I decided to wipe to data and to have factory settings BUT again superuser is there and no access to Kies...
Which of Intratech firmware will be suitable for my phone?
I would like to update my phone that's it. Any help, please.

Finally I HAVE UNROOT device))
What I have done so far. First I flash the original firmware which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 . If you NOT sure which one to use check the Build number and try the same firmware. My build number was finishing KE2 so I used XWKE2 even if the rooted firmware was XWKDD !!!!
Then the Superuser icon was still there. I have decided to wipe all my data and to try again to update. Eventually I succeed to update the phone. Even after wiping the data Superuser icon was still there. SO I connected my Galaxy S II to Kies and clicked on the firmware updates and did happened to work ;-)
So now I have Android Version 2.3.5. and NO root access.
Nice;-)
Hi,
i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, it's a Spanish device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS, some weeks after buying it got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. Then, about 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i tried to update a few times more but no luck, i always got the same messages so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published but anyway everything was working fine.
The curious thing is yesterday ( August 25, 2012), when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it (without uninstalling CF-Root 6.4, supersu, etc.) but the strange thing was, after the update completed fine, went to settings to check the version and i saw it still/again was 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there and everything worked as expected but on the other hand i think i already had 4.0.4 update installed on the device. Till that point one can think i got confused on the versions i got installed before the update and no major problem here. After that, as i already had root access on the device, i went to check if i still could run UMS app but it complained about missing root access so as i did before that last Android update took CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 to flash the device and get root access again (Without removing any previous install of CF-Root, super su, busybox, etc. ) but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again but i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update.
The only explanation i can find is the phone came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.
So my questions are, did i got confused about each version update? Then why can't i get root access again just repeating the same first process?
When opening busybox i can read "Not Enough Free Space in /system". Opening /system directory with Root Explorer i can read 1.05GB used, 436.39MB free. Is it right /system directory takes up to 1GB of the space? Why Busybox thinks there is 0.0MB free there?
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!
Thousands of posts say OTA updates may fail if the phone is rooted .
Usual is to fail part way through an update ..
Suggest wipe the phone flash stock rom with Odin then root .

Thanks a lot for the info. Am i going to loose installed apps, system settings, etc when doing the suggested process? Do i really need to wipe the phone before flashing the phone? I suppose i can find stock rom for my model here in the forums. Thanks!!
Hi,
i'm looking for a stock firmware for my SGS3 BaseBand I9300XXLH1 but i'm not able to find it. I think the firmware which came with my phone is unbranded and from Spain. But the question which i'm wondering is, do i really need to flash the phone? Isn't possible to solve the issue in another manner? After updating through OTA the rooted device, what's supposed to went wrong?
Lastly, what's wrong on updating a stock rooted firmware using Phone/Android update system? Don't understand how doing that can break the phone forcing me to wipe data and flash the phone.
Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot!
PD: After rebooting the phone in recovery mode i can see stock recovery has been installed with last update. Hope someone can make a bit of sense about it all. Thanks in advanced.

Get your firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/
then use odin to flash it, I had the same problem
Baseband is modem not firmware.

Thanks to both for your answers. Maybe it's stupid but i'm some what more peaceful knowing other people also happened the same issue although it still feels very weird. All i did is flashing with CF-Root 6.4.
I've been looking for the stock firmware which is supposed to came with my phone at sammobile site but i'm not able to find it, although at that point ( where the phone got the same update twice, 4.0.4 ) i don't think i can trust the information provided by the phone. Under phone settings i can see Model Number is GT-l9300 and Base Band Version is i9300XXLH1 but i can't find it no sammobile site. What i find at sammobile site is I9300XXBLH1 ( notice B letter ) but i think that before this weird behaviour happened the phone showed Base Band Version I9300XXBLFB.
Is it all possible or the weird one is me?
Kickasskev, did you got 4.0.4 update twice?
Thanks again to all!
REPEAT BASEBAND IS NOT FIRMWARE nor is it firmware version .
To locate firmware try CHECKFUS .
Or stock providers roms from the sticky on XDA .

0. Remove all root apps from your phone.
1. Back up your rooted rom in cWM.
2. Use triangle away to get rid of the traingle.
3. Format system and cache.
4. Flash an official rom.
5. You should have all your apps + settings on a stock rom without the status being 'modified'.

I've used checkfus and now i know my firmware.
Thanks for the step by step tips, but my phone is not rooted so i cannot use cwm, triangleapp and so. I. Annot also remove cwm manager nor supersu. I suppose i'll have to flash stock firmware first of all. Am i right?
Pretty strange, first time i rooted the device through cf-root6.4 it run flawlessly, but now i had to remove the battery after flashing ( while device was on ) and enter into recovery mode by hand which started the rooting process.
Thanks!
Guys, When I bought my phone, it was locked under the carrier. So I went to the store where i bought it and had it open line. When it was open line, the guy rooted my phone. It's still in the stock though. No custom rom was flashed etc. My device status says modified. Will i still receive the Official OTA for Jellybean?

Hi...
Someone please correct me if Im wrong but... I dont believe it is possible to "root" this device WITHOUT flashing an insecure kernel (CF Kernel) through Odin which may indeed be the reason your device says modified...
Now, I believe you will still get the OTA notification IF you stay on the STOCK ROM but... DONT try and update it while rooted or I believe it will not work properly. You would need to remove root to do the OTA update.
Again, If I am wrong, someone please correct me but I believe this is how this will work.
Thanks,

Samsung updates OTA fails if rooted .
Use Kies and then root again .
You say When it was open line, the guy rooted my phone
Whoever rooted your phone should not have done so as it breaks warranty .

It is possible..CF-Root roots your phone without modifying the kernel. The device says modified because during rooting a custom recovery is also being flashed. You can update with Kies while rooted..nothing bad will happen..You will only lose the root

Hi,
I unrooted my SGS3 yesterday using the following tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710613
After the unrooting process using Odin, and resetting the flash counter, I had my stock S3 back (ICS 4.0.4). However, when I searched for an OTA update, none showed up. I connected my phone to Kies and there it also said I had the latest firmware installed. I'm from Belgium and all S3's here received the 4.1.2 OTA recently, so I wonder why my device doesn't qualify?
My current baseband is I9300XXLF5, which is indeed for Belgium. So what did I do wrong? I would prefer not to just flash an update with Odin, because I'm curious about this issue, and I would like to enjoy OTA's again...
Many thanks in advance for any help or hints!
EDIT:
An extra important piece of information might be that before I rooted, I was running JB, which I got in an OTA. So it must be possible to get this to work
Reroot
Run triangle away to reset flash counters
And then use Mobile Odin to wipe data
Then check OTA update....

K Thans, I'll try this right away. I found also that, and I don't know if this is relevant, I get a lot of FC's from com.google.process.gapps while browsing or streaming. I found an easy fix online (enabling download manager in applications) but that didn't work (it already was enabled)
EDIT:
Didn't work I get the same "No update available" while my android version is still 4.0.4. So the steps I took were:
- Root the phone with Odin
- Reset flash counter using TriangleAway
- Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache using Mobile Odin Pro
- While still rooted, checked for OTA
Don't I need to unroot to get OTA's?
Need to unroot. You won't be able to get OTAs or Kies updates if your device status is modified. Check that's okay and factory reset if it still says modified after unrooting, make sure your firmware versions and csc match ones for belgium and you should be good to go.

First question is does your device have an update or are you guessing it has .
That is your phone not other phones
Update via Kies is the simple method .

Yeah I tried that already, that's the strange thing. My CSC reads "PRO", which is indeed Belgium, and my firmware reads "XX" which is also correct. My device status read "Normal". Everything was in order so it should've worked... So I have no idea why it didn't.

Yes my device should have an update. Before I ever started my first rooting process, I had the JB update (which I received OTA) already. I don't understand why things would be different now. I bought my phone here in Belgium and my firmware and CSC are also Belgian currently...
To clarify: my unrooted, completely wiped S3 doesn't get the JB update I got before I rooted my S3.

Yes my device should have an update. Before I ever started my first rooting process, I had the JB update (which I received OTA) already. I don't understand why things would be different now. I bought my phone here in Belgium and my firmware and CSC are also Belgian currently...
To clarify: my unrooted, completely wiped S3 doesn't get the JB update I got before I rooted my S3.

Simple answer is you no longer have the correct HDSWVER codes showing to the firmware server or their is no firmware for your phone on the server .

Is there anything I can do about that?
EDIT:
I finally got tired of all it and downloaded the 4.1.2 version from Luxembourg, which should be the same as the Belgian version. Everything works smoothly. No idea if the OTA works though, but at least I can enjoy the latest firmware version.

I have 4.1.1 Jellybean on my phone, is unlocked, an had no trouble updating to 4.1.1 from ICS. Now that my phone shows "Updates Available", downloads them files( I think), but does not install and rather says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available". The new updates I have seen in my mate's phone are good, and as he told me he had no trouble updating to it unlike mine.
What is the problem and the best way to solve this issue?
Also I'd like to ask, if I used Odin to update it manually, will I be able to update my phone with later releases without having to use Odin again?

You answered your question yourself...modified = no ota update. Go back to stock unmodified or easier, download the new version from xda or sammobile and flash via odin
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
OTA on rooted phones.

Well i don't know what you mean with "unlocked" . If you mean rooted then it's easy :fingers-crossed:. You might have rooted with CF-Root or Toolbox or whatever. And in that process you were forced to install Clockworkmod Recovery and that's the reason you can't get OTA. If you want to have a rooted phone and OTA all you have to do is. Root your phone, stay on stock rom and flash the stock recovery via odin. But this means you loose CWM Recovery and a lot of the fun part about a rooted phone is gone.

What part of "Unlocked" is confusing to you? It means the phone can run any sim card of any sim provider, thats what I meant, and no, the phone is not rooted or never even have tried rooting it... Never mind, I factory reset the phone and the update is done. Anyways kudos for your reply
Cheers!
