because you are rooted?
triangle away does NOT change the device status from modified to original, to do so you have to flash a stock ROM and unroot etc.

same issue here on my wife's phone, i was thinking about flashing the same rom with odin, but unroot the phone before that, maybe the status will change.
flashing with odin now, will it automatically do a factory reset or can she keep her data?

Let me know how you get on, I am reluctant to lose all my stuff just to flash, so will put up with it if I have to.

Hi Guys,
I recently updated my GS2 to ICS via Odin as my network( Vodafone Ireland) had not released it yet. Now I have a constant notification to register for software updates. Anytime ive tried doing so it fails. I had ignored it think that it will fix itself once my network releases the upgrade.
However, ive just found out that Vodafone Ireland launched ICS a few days ago. Any idea what steps i need to take?

Follow his instructions to the letter
ok there are 2 things going on........
1: either you mean the icons that show up after you flash ics stock rom
2: or you want to update officially by your carrier / OTA update.
if its option 1 just click the samsung thing and than skip it will go away, other icon you have to signin and it will check for ota update and say u have latest blaa blaa.
needless to say u need tobe online for both
Hi,
Again I'm not sure if people understand so I'm obviously not being clear. I have an unrooted SGS2 which I updated to ICS before my carrier launched it offically. I now have a constant notification to register my device update but whenever I try, I get the error "Software Update. Processing failed".
I have attached a scrnshot of the notification.
Any help is appreciated.

That's for OTA software updates. Now that you've already flashed via Odin (and probably not a firmware that matches your actual CSC) this probably won't work anymore, which is why it fails to process.
You can safely ignore it, or if you want to get rid of it, you can root and freeze the Software Update application with Titanium Backup. (there are probably other ways to get rid of it as well)

Use CheckFUS to figure out what the actual firmware is for your region, download that, and flash via Odin.
Hey guys,i have a problem with my S3(international version).I had flashed to cm10 and then wanted to return to stock firmware earlier on today so i downloaded xxblfb firmware(latest for my country) and i flashed it using odin.Everything went as per plan,now i am on stock rom and my phone status is normal too and not modified but when i connect to kies it says that my device does not support updating using kies.Why is that and how can i fix it?.Please help me out.
Have you used Triangle Away when you were rooted? Did you factory-reset your phone?
Go to Download mode and check what the binary counter says.

Oh ok cool thanks.Any other way?..n wat are the risks?
Your first question is
Is their an update for your phone your phone not any phone and updates have codes that must match what you present to Kies .
Simple solution is to join XDA and flash stock rom as and when or wipe your phone install the original firmware and stay with Samsung for updates .

I don't think so, but it's worth a shot. It would at least theoretically be possible for the phone to report the Flash Counter to Kies.

How did you get 4.0.3 software on your phone, the S3 comes with 4.0.4 firmware!
Afaik if you`re rooted and use a custom kernel upgrades will not be installed. The best thing to do is download the new rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and and unstall it with Odin. Or unroot and reflash the original stock rom and to try install the upgrade.
Before unrooting reset the flash counter with TriangleAway 1.70, available on playstore and chainfires`s thread.
thanks.
it is not a custom rom it is the original rom just rooted it
when i reset it it kept the root so actually i just wiped out all content but root was still there
any thing i can do ?
thanks

You have to flash the whole original rom or the original kernel and than do a factory reset. Reset the binary flash counter first, see 2nd post.
thanks,
are you saying that just because i rooted the device i will not be able to update it and i will have to reinstall it all ?
it sounds a bit odd, as most of the devices are rooted and as far as i know they are getting updates.
i wouldn't want to start it all over from scratch and flush a new rom etc if not really needed
and then what ?
every time i will need to do that ?
so what's the point in rooting it ?

Once you root it, and update root will be overwritten and is gone.
What for me works best is to buy MobileOdin Pro and flash the latest rom of your country and by doing so you keep root. Uninstall Kies (exept the usb drivers) and forget about that. Just update your phone yourself when an upgrade is available
Apps and data can be stored with Titanium Backup.
not sure i understood what you're saying, sorry...
could you please try again ?

- Go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and download your latest rom from your country
- Uninstall Kies except the usb drivers
- Buy Mobile Odin Pro
- Flash the rom you downloaded, extracted once and placed on your sd card (md5. file) with Mobile Odin
- Done
still i don't get why ?
why did it happen?
everybody roots the device - are all resetting and flushing on each update?

You have a different kernel, not stock so updates will not be installed
If you update yourself with Mobile Odin Pro you don`t need samsung ota updates.
When in the future opdates are available you download the rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Mobile Odin
Settings will not be removed, unless it`s a major update like jellybean.

CF Root 6.4?
ZeevG, I am in the same situation as you.
Because of the method required to root the S3, we have the clockwork mod installed, I understand that this is the reason the update is not being installed.
I will be doing it manually today with Odin
thanks pal, it is now OK
i used Kies from PC and it went like charm - it is now updated and all as said is OK

I've also had the OTA update automatically download into my phone, and it keeps asking me if it's OK to install it - but as I'm rooted, I don't want to!
I'll upgrade it myself via Odin at some point, but short of continually pressing 'Later' every three hours for the rest of my life, how do I kill and fully delete this pending OTA update?

If you want keep root just update an reroot with CF Root, if you want all stock first use triangle away and reset the counter and update with Kies. Ota will not be installed because of custom recovery.
Thanks mate it's not easy to use android when I just went from ios
Hmm Triangle Away did not work? my phone still seems to be modified. I used the app and everything worked throug.

When you get a update you will not loose data, you will however have to reroot with CF Root. Doesn`t matter if you update by OTA or through Kies.

Triangle away just reset the flash counter in download mode and nothing more
If you want to change the "modified" in about phone, there is 2 solution:
1- flash a stock rom with odin
2- find the thread which explain how to do it by playing with rom backup

Reset the flashcounter, update rom and do a facory reset in backup and restore. If that doesn`t work flash stock rom with Odin and do a factory reset afterwards.

Hi,
Me and my partner both got s3's recently his on contract mine on like buy as you view. Mine received the 4.1.1 update through the phone and after waiting a few weeks and still nothing on his we decided to update it via computer. I used odin because i saw on a post that thats what you were supposed to use and flashed it to 4.1.1. I then realised i had put the wrong version on (German one i think) and it was causing errors so we flashed again to 4.1.1 the UK version.
He is now on:
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version I9300XXDLID
I do not know if that's correct but everything seems a ok.
However since then my phone received the 4.1.2 update and we want the same update on his phone. It does not find it on the phone. Since then i learned KIES is the samsung software not odin. No updates can be found via KIES cos the software isn't supported. I want to be able to use KIES with his phone again, can i reverse the odin update anyway?? I rang samsung and he told me it will be like that forever now and i will never be able to use KIES?
Can anyone assist me. I really want ot be able to update from KIES again instead of using odin.
Sorry if i sound like a noob im only good with apple technology haha!! :laugh:
(edit)
P.S. My software is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
we are both on Orange if thats any help? His came on Ice Cream Sandwich though and mine came on 4.1.1
If the phone isnt locked on orange just download 4.1.2 from sammobile and instal via odin as u did beffore.

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to
Voila, stock as used to.

Ok if u want the 4.1.2 update and u want to be able to use OTA i advise u to do flash the latest 4.1.2 room from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 there is even a guide there how to flash it , if your device shows modified status after the flash just reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen , then u will see the recovery options, do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot and u should now be able to receive OTA updates .
I am also using the same room and all is working ok OTA shows no new updates but i think when the updates hits i will be able to get it via OTA , kies is not working but i think u dont need to worry about it because u can always flash via Odin .
Here is a guide how to flash a room with working Kies and OTA
First u need to root your device u can do this by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Edit: When u finish rooting u should use this app its called triangle away http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 and use it to reset the counter .
When u are done with triangle away then download this on your phone it available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Run it and change your CSC to BTU this will factory reset your phone after u done that u should flash the UK room from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
When u finish that u should boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset , you should now be able to use Kies .
I am not sure this will work 100% but it should , if u could remember what was the CSC and room before you flashed the devices with odin you could flash that firmware.
Tell me if it worked.
