I have a samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2 jellybean. I rooted it with framaroot using gandalf exploit. But i had to claim warranty for my device (something wrong with the phone speakers) so I unrooted it with framaroot. I had not installed any custom rom or custom kernel or custom recovery. But even though I unrooted, the device status shows custom instead of official. Also when I clicked on software update, it says your device has been modified. Software update is not available. I googled it and some sites suggested to remove the sd card and reboot the phone. I tried it but to no avail. Can anyone please suggest a method to change the device status from custom to official, as I want to claim warranty?? Thanks....
When you root your phone you can't update it if you want to update you have to find it on the internet and update manually

you cant update if you are rooted
so to update your phone you can try temporary unroot with superuser or any other app
to claim warranty you should flash the original firmware using odin

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 .

After the open line, i had supersu app already. So i can still update thru Kies to get the official update of jellybean?

Yes you can. After the update you will lose root...so you will have to root again

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

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

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

I'm seeing an available firmware upgrade via kies (MK7).
I'm a little skeptical to try it. Has anyone else upgraded to this firmware?
If so, have you been able to root your mega and install a custom recovery after the upgrade?
I don't want to install this firmware upgrade only to find out that afterwards that knox is on it and prevents me from rooting the phone or unlocking the bootloader.
By the way, I tried downloading the firmware without my phone connected but kies keeps force closing on me before the download is complete.
I'm afraid to connect my phone and try the download because I think it will automatically install the upgrade which I don't want to do until I'm sure I can re-root it and re-install TWRP.

I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. I am happy to report that the firmware upgrade was successful using Kies, I was able to root the device via the Kingo Root app, and was able to re-install TWRP. I am now on firmware M819NUVUAMK7. It is still Android version 4.2.2, and the baseband is also M819NUVUAMK7. The kernel version is dated Fri Nov 22, 2013
I installed superSU and when I ran it, it asked me if I wanted to disable knox (YES OR NO). OF COURSE I DISABLED KNOX!!
I afterward performed a nandroid backup in TWRP (the first order of business).
I am more comfortable now deleting, freezing, uninstalling system apps now because (in the event of a softbrick or bootloop) I can always revert to my nandroid backup or in extreme cases, restart all over again by re-installing the firmware via Kies, re-rooting the device via the kingo root app, and reinstalling TWRP via ODIN.
Not sure what changed from the original firmware (no change log). In any event, the device is snappy and I'm not experiencing any lags.

well easiest way is. if its your stock ROM that came with the phone when you bought it. it is odex.
if you are rooted, you can use root explorer to go into your system/app file and see if it shows odex settings for apps
I did and had no problem rooting with kingo. What I cannot find is a way around sim lock without going through metro and that sucks.

Almost had a heart attack from this upgrade. My phone was already rooted when I applied the update from Kies. Everything went through fine except when it restarted, I couldn't turn on Wifi at all and I was getting an E in the cell signal. I managed to download the TWRP tar file and Kingo app to root again. I was able to restore my previous backed up image and everything was when I last left it! WHEW!
That's strange. I had no problem. wifi worked and I haven't seen E at all (only 4g lte or 4g). My signal appears to be stronger and more stable with this update than with the original firmware (most of the time I have full bars). As mentioned I don't know what changes were made (no change log around) but this is my observation so far.

This string is present on my phone in download mode:
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 3
I have no lines displaying anything about KNOX.
In titanium backup I froze knox 1.0, knox notification manager 1.0, and knox store 1.0.
So it appears that knox is in the rom somewhere but it's had no impact on me. I'm rooted, have twrp installed and have flashed multiple custom roms on my device (both tw and aosp based roms).
Perfect, thanks! Glad you guys got spared from the horrid new Knox bootloaders. There's a small chance that the M819 can be downgraded to the older bootloader to remove Knox entirely, but if the update came with the newest bootloader (I got stuck with it on my i527M) there is no hope at all of downgrading.
Thanks to whoever posted this and the creator of this rom

I cant get official OTA update for my Samsung galaxy s3 from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3. Whenever i click system update it shows " Your system is up to date" . I know the reason for getting this problem. Because i have rooted my phone. Now can anyone help me getting ota update without losing any data and root access.
Details:
Samsung galaxy s3 GT-19300 international version
Android 4.1.2
Stock rom
Cwm recovery
Baseband version :19300xxema5
Flash counter displays '1'.
This is because of flashing chainfire root to acquire root access
Triangle away not used.
Its cause your system is modified (facepalm) ie rooted.
Just flash the latest firmware whichever you want via odin or unroot fully if you want to get ota updates

Try to use kies, sometimes it doesn't mind heaving rooted stock rom...
Otherwise, you should use Odin as suggested

Unroot the phone im not sure if it works i haven't tried it but fully unrooting it from the supersu app then do the ota update and then root it back that's the only way if you don't want to go through the whole backup processes.
Its risky though just backup your apps with tib and move your important files off the sdcard and flash via odin it shouldn't take too long

I have a Galaxy Note 2 which was bought in Thailand and I tried to root. The root didn't work because of Knox and none of the solutions given worked, so I decided to flash it back to normal using Odin 3.09 with a rom I found on stockroms(dot) net, now the flash worked, but my phone is on 4.1.1 and I get the error that it can't be updated because it's been modified AND my sim card doesn't work, all I get is "not registered on network" or "network not available", where do I go from here? How do I get the phone back to normal working 4.3 or 4.4 again?

Why did you go back to 4.1.1?? Downgrading if on 4.3 or above is not recommended. All you have to do is Odin an updated firmware for your region to fix.

I didn't do that on purpose, the stock firmware I found on stockroms just happened to be 4.1.1 and I only found that out once I had flashed it, if you can find the stock 4.3 for Thailand for me that would be great, but I have not found it.

As far as rooting, pretty sure you just need to install a custom recovery and install the SuperSU zip from Chainfire or there might be an auto root option from Chainfire that you just flash via Odin. Once SuperSU is installed then open the app and it will ask you if you want to try to disable Knox. Also recommend SELinuxmode changer app to set system to partition which will allow stuff like Xposed to work right.
Flashed with 4.3 I found on a forum post here and it works! Thank you! I have yet to see whether it can update though, says it can't connect to the server and tells me to use Kies so I will try that
