[Q] Galaxy S3 Software Update Problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here and I couldn't find any solid answer (at least one I am capable of doing) for my problem. I am currently running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean on my Galaxy S3. When I try to check for Software Updates, a message appears saying "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available". I really want to get the new Premium Suite upgrade, but apparently I won't be able to get it with this problem. I'd really appreciate if anybody has a solution for my problem... Lastly I have to add I neither tried rooting my phone nor I have any practical info about it. There's a screenchot attached. Sorry for any errors in my English

Download stock 4.1.2 from Sammobile and odin it on.
Just re-root if you need to.

Thanks for the answer. However, after uninstalling and reinstalling Kies it managed to connect my phone; I haven't tried updating yet but I hope it'll work.

Noob problem after root

Hi guys
Sorry but i am a noob to all this so have proberly stupid questions.
After flashing to a customer rom i went back to a stock t-mobile rom. Problem i now face is when i try to download apps from other companies that are not on the app store eg mfortune they are unable to detect the type of phone i am using so i get "sorry we do not currently support your device" despite being able to do so before rooting and flashing. Is there a way i can change this with the release of skyGo on android this month i want to be able to download it. As it will be only on the galaxy s2 and HTC phones for some time i dont really want to wait.
Any help please???
Did you do a full whipe? Adding some details like model number, the rom you flashed and the one you came from may get you some more useful results.
As for the skyGo app, it won't take more than a day for it to pop up as an APK somewhere on the net.
Hello
Thanks for the reply i am currently in work so i cant look at my phone but will update on which firmware and kernal version i am running
I did however follow this guide to root reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/[/url]
Not sure if that helps i did not however use the guide to flash the secure kernal maybe thats where i have gone wrong.
I will update the thread with the info later.
Thanks again

NEED HELP!! How to update ROM for International i9300 phone on Fido network!!!???

Hi
So I bought an International i9300 back in the summer and i've been using it Fido (Canada - doesnt support LTE yet)
and i rooted it somehow...dont know how and dont know why lol... and succeeded for whatever its worth... :good:
the last "COUPLE" of months,ive been getting these system update pop ups on my screen ALL the time!!
i've even tried to let my phone update itself but ,im guessing because of my root ,it makes my phone crash half way and forces me to reboot...
Btw,can my root be too old or is it,once its been done its done no matter how long ago you rooted?
anyways long story short,i desperately need to update my rom! the system update pop ups are super annoying and my phone is running on super old 4.0.4 :crying: and the battery SUUUUCKKKKS!!! anyways, im guessing i need a specific rom for an international i9300 running on FIDO? CAN ANYBODY HELP???!!!! IM DESPERATE!! LOL btw i might of been able to root it through ODIN at one point but don't be fooled i suck at these android things yet with a little help (hopefully) i might be able to fix this issue!
I attached a pic of my current situation...hope it help...
Hi,
You can update your rom following the instructions of this topic from "Intratech": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
Just follow the instructions, it is pretty simple.
I go to sammobile to get my stock roms (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/)
On the Intratech topic, you have anything you need to update your device.
Cheers

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Duos ( GT-S7562 )

Hello everyone,
I have got Samsung Galaxy S Duos ( GT- S7562 ) Android Version - 4.0.4, Kernel Version - 3.0.8 - 1102401
Purchased on 11-1-2013, from INDIA, so first i installed many app on mobile internal storage, than i thought it might slow down my phone, than i went on searching for moving app to SD, i came around rooting the phone, i rooted it, YELLOW TRIANGLE came around, i don't know how to remove it, that i unrooted the phone, went on updating the firmware, it did not work, it says " fail to verify whole file signature " " Signature verification failed ".
My questions are very simple
1) How to remove YELLOW TRIANGLE, Does it affect my phone in any ways ?
2) I am not able to update my firmware to JELLY BEAN now as it could have had if i had not done any rooting ! so what should i do now ?
3) How to move app to sd ? or is it possible, if i update my firmware to JELLY BEAN, i would not need to worry about finding external help for moving app to sd, by that i mean, do JELLY BEAN gives users inbuilt privilege for moving app to sd ?
Thank You So Much For Your Concern, looking forward for the solution ... !
Hey there!
My brother has an S Duos as well. It is a great device except for its inability to move apps to SD natively. You can find the method to remove the yellow triangle here in the forums or even in Google. It's called Triangle Away. You should probably wait for another 4 months to receive official jelly bean from Samsung. Hope this helps! Hit thanks of it did!

How To Remove Yellow Triangle
Hello people,
First of all i have resolved my own question, which i posted before, which was, removing the yellow triangle !
but i did not found any solution through post ...
but eventually i found the answer
it was very simple, you just need to put "stock recovery.tar instead of recovery.tar, in odin pda slot" so it would completely remove the rooted firmware and takes you back to original firmware & yellow triangle disappears ... yahoo ...
hope this would help people like myself ... who are very much new to all this
hope this helps ...

Complete newbie, would like to update my rooted I9305

Pardon me for asking, but I would like some help with my Galaxy S3. A friend helped me root it a few years ago when I first got it, but I don't keep in touch with him anymore and I don't know how to update its firmware now.
I know it's rooted for sure as I've got SuperSU and Titanium Backup installed on it, but I've been on Android 4.1.2 for years now because I can't update it normally anymore. Everytime I look into trying to do so, I'm confused as to which method or files I should use, so I would really appreciate some help here.
Just a couple of queries first.
1) Is it possible to just update the firmware without any fancy ROM or anything like that?
2) Will I lose my data from doing so?
Again, please bear with me as I'm really new to all this and I might get some terms or understanding wrong. Thanks in advance.
Hello thecypher,

Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere Stock Firmware (SCH-I405V)

Hello everybody,
I somehow got my old phone (Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere) so borked that it takes about 10 minutes to boot and most, (if not all), stock apps are missing. Because of this, I wanted to restore it to its stock firmware (or ROM, as some would say), but it appears to be that it is found nowhere online, and there is no specific XDA forum for my device.
Well, to get straight to the point, I am wondering whether or not somebody can point me to where I can download firmware for my device or if you can supply me with it.
I am sort of unskilled about reflashing stock firmwares, as I have only done it with my GNex and Fire HD 6 (which is quite easy to do) so I would also like some assistance as to how I can restore my device, if possible.
Cheers! :highfive:
