I had unroot for certain reasons, every time I root or unroot one way I check to make sure there's no problems is going to settings about device and check for update. Now I know there's no update for our phone right now, but something I noticed after unrooting when I go to check for an update it just keeps spinning and says checking for update. Usually it says checking for updates for a few seconds and then says your phone is up to date, I'm not getting that right now, could there be a problem do I need to factory reset?

Go to settings-> about device then scroll to the very bottom of the page. There is a line that says Status. Normal will allow the check and update (with stock Bootloader), modified precludes the check and update OTA. Modified means the device picked up that you were rooted at some point.
The surefire way to get back to normal status is to factory reset on an unrooted rom or in the roor66 rom. There may be other ways but I haven't gotten them to work...
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Mine says modified, think it will go back to normal if I factory reset?

If you are on straight stock or on rooted stock it will go back on a factory reset.

Here's what i did and under my status it says "normal" and searches for ota updates and says im up to date within a minute or less. Hope this helps:
I have a t889, never really messed around with it, except to unlock it. Ive been a long time fan of xda though, so i decided it was time to start rooting, but was worried about voiding my warranty. Ive read all about resetting flash counters, using triangle away etc ect. but wasnt too awful sure about all of this.
In the end I decided to go with option 2 (strictly rooting my phone) found on this form:

Decided to try and unroot it, in case i needed a warranty exchange once i went back wih tmobile. Flashed the normal stock rom downloaded through kies (so i KNEW it was straight from samsung ya know?). Again, no problem.
Went back into download mode...... saw this:

I attempted to restore my fiance's S3 to full factory stock about a month ago now, after I received a prompt for the ~82MB OTA update, and she didn't... She was tired of me taking her phone and keeping it out of her hot little hands whilst I made nandroids and flashed the latest updates to BlazerROM, and she didn't have a problem with stock ROM, so I figured I'd put it back for her.
Well, I did, and I KNOW I left CWRecovery in, and not sure if I left root or not, but she STILL has not received the OTA update which still bugs me... So I need to know what is the BEST method for FULL STOCK RECOVERY? I don't want her missing out when the Jelly Bean official drops, and I may flash mine back when it hits just to test it out...
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935973
Which directed me to QBKing's site, but also warned that the video was now somewhat dated...
Am I assume that by saving her text messages and contacts, and flashing the ODIN .tar listed on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919919 and just letting her re-install her apps, is an effective way to return to FULL and UNMODIFIED stock? Should I run Triangle-Away before proceeding? Will this return the device status to Unmodified (or whatever it says) as opposed to "Custom" in the Status page, as it currently shows for her, in case of warranty needs?
Sorry to be "That Guy", but some of the other topics where a bit vague and lacked details, so I figure if we can get something Semi-Detailed and answering most of the big/general questions, perhaps this could serve as a Go-To thread for others who wish to do this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
Thread youve mentioned above also works fine. If using odin method, run triangle away beforehand. Neither method will wipe data. Depending on the rom you're coming from, it may not be necessary. If you flash without wiping and the rom fails to boot(hangs on glowing samsung logo), go back to recovery and factory reset. Itll boot right up

JUST TO CLARIFY!
On your thread you updated just this morning with the flash-counter reset included, just run in CWR, and all is good, if not, then factory reset, and all is good? Or factory reset, reflash, all is good?
EDIT: FLashed
In download mode;
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L710
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (not sure what that one is haven't done more than root with oden and flash)
System status troubles me... ODEN flash, or let it full reboot? I went into download to check before first initial boot after flash. will allow full boot and see what happens...
EDIT 2: Well, android system status shows Normal... Girl woke up and took her phone back, so will check oden later.
Yup the one updated today is just that. Flash and reboot. Youll be 100% stock
The system status in odin will probably fix itself after booting. If not a factory reset should do it

Seems to have worked. I wish I had money to donate to your wonderful work. Hopefully she'll be receiving prompts for OTA updates for JellyBean shortly... Thanks for also having it up to date. At least I gather it DOES include the ~82MB update she's been missing... Keep up the wonderful work friend!
Glad to hear it. Much appriciated. Now if only the damn thing would be stickied...XD

Go through the two threads. They will help
You can, flash the new stock firmware available on the first thread, root with CF Auto root, reduce flash counter and change 'modified' to 'normal'. And then unroot.
Maybe this should have been on Q&A rarher than the general forum.

If you want dvice normal permanently (no root) then as sacguru shown you first link, download and flash stock ROM and factory reset device
it should be normal
If it remains modified, even after there, just remove SD card from device and check it.

Ok.. So I got my S3 (Sprint version) in November. After I upgraded to JB (Android v4.1.1) I rooted my device. Played aroubd with some ROM's, had the TWRP recovery installed. Everything worked fine, and the phone actually still works great. A couple of weeks ago it told me there was a system update available. I didn't know of it was safe to allow it to happen or not since I was rooted so I used TWRP recovery to flash a stock rom that would unroot my s3 and reset the flash counter to zero and make it all stock in one bang. So I did that, went and cleared the data in Google Services Framework so I could redownload the update, I restart to let the update install and it shows the android guy with the blue thing in his belly, but only goes about half way through the process and just stops, the android guy quickly dissapears and another pic of him pops up of him laying on his back with a red triangle over his belly, then the phone quickly reboots and goes back to my lockscreen.
As seen in the pic, I must be getting some of the upgrade as the baseband version shows MA6, but the build number still shows LJ7 and the Android Version still shows 4.1.1. Also I went to the camera and can take burst shots by holding dowb the camera button, which is a new feature.
But with things the way they are, I can continue to clear out the data from google services framework and still get notified of the 157mb update download. But every time I do it, it does the same thing as explained above. I have also tried to download the update in a .zip file and flash it in recovery mode. There it seems like it goes through the entire process but I still get the same result as seen in the pic. I also tried downloading the stock recovery and flashing that with Odin just in case. So basically I have a sprint galaxy s3, unrooted, 4.1.1 android software with a bit of 4.1.2 in there. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I suggest you should go check out the Sprint Samsung s3 forum under the Android development section the check out for the stock rom, try using the 1 click Odin or check out in there the proper way to restore your device, then continue reading the forums to check out when or how is the proper way to apply that update it could be that its bugged or that your device lost some permissions so best way to solve it should be to restore it to its original state.

You cant install an OTA update unless you have the official stock rom and the stock recovery because custom recoveries will install it and I believe im correct when I say that to flash an OTA update you have to odin to stock and then do the update.
There is absolutely no need to go back to stock to take the update. If you head over to freezas stock rooted thread, you can flash the updated firmware there and thats really all you need
Most roms have already updated their bases to MB1 (4.1.2), so I suggest you either wait till your rom is updated or flash an updated rom, you're not missing out on huge changes either way
Most custom touchwiz roms will allow updates, but you have to flash stick recovery 1st. The 157mb update is for mb1. You could just change your build prop to get the notification nag to go away

If you're on stock rooted with no apps removed, do what I did. Plug phone into odin, flash stock recovery, update, flash custom after update done, re root, done.

Just flash a updated rom issue should go away there is a flashable I can't seem to find right now that stops the nag. I think it is a build prop mod.

Yup, if you just wanna make it go away, go into your build.prop and change all instances of "LJ7" (or "MA6" ) to "MB1"

Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a way to reset the flash counter on the 7102 for warranty purposes (I know, we need to be in China but some of us visit/live there so it may be handy). I saw Chainfire's TriangleAway thread but with the stock kernel I get bootloops trying to reset the counter.
After some digging on 52samsung.com and a bit of Baiduing (Chinese equivalent of Googling) I found the required file/guide and managed to reset my counter successfully.
Be aware, reseting the flash counter and keeping it at 0 requires flashing of a stock ROM - most of us here would only need to do this for: a) warranty purposes; or b) deciding to stay stock and ditching Google apps/framework. However, it at least provides a method for those who have a raised counter or are currently on stock and concerned about getting stuck with an increased counter to test other ROMs knowing there is a way to get restore the counter.
I take no credit other than finding info that was already available and testing it. I am no dev either :crying:
Credits/thanks:

Chainfire for TA and other goodies.
Contributors in this forum and at 52samsung, especially for the N7102
Files:
n7102-(boot-reset-flash-counter).zip (unzip this to get a .tar for flashing)

Mediafire mirror http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?v3t7fa3ufd3k93f
Step-by-step:
1. Root current firmware (see this thread p.19 if not rooted already or get Chainfire's N7102 CF-autoroot).
2. Use Odin to flash 'n7102-boot-reset-flash-counter.tar'. This custom kernel causes the Menu and Back keys to stop working - they will be fine after flashing another ROM)
3. Let the phone reboot normally.
4. Install TriangleAway and check flash count. Mine was 16
5. Reset the flash counter (TA should not need to reboot the phone) then reload TriangleAway to confirm.
6. IMPORTANT: DO NOT POWER OFF OR REBOOT. We need to flash a stock ROM from Odin's download mode but if you restart the usual way, the custom Kernel is detected and thus the flash counter goes from 0 to 1.
7. So.... Force restart into Odin. From the TriangleAway screen with a 0 counter, hold Power+Home+VolDown until the phone force restarts and you are presented with the Odin screen where you press VolUp to enter 'Download' mode.
8. Flash official ROM. Go into recovery and wipe data / factory reset.
To check the counter status, enter Odin's download mode (TA will not work given there is no root on a stock ROM).
Tested and worked for me. Hopefully it's useful to others too.:good:
thank you for sharing this info.
although i haven't tried yet, because i still need the root right now, but i already subscribed this thread for future need.
btw, i just wonder (because i can not register on www.52samsung.com) want to know, is there any newer cwm version than N7102+CWM 6.0.1.9 root package?

I'll check 52 tomorrow and see if there's any new happenings.
Given I use my phone for work and have not so many Play Store paid/exclusive apps/games (a big reason to root) I'm getting along fine on the stock ROM. Gmail, Google Maps and Dolphin are on as.baidu.com (as are many others) but aside from that, the stock apps are enough for me. However, I can see how anyone with even a low number of Play Store apps would need root so this guide is just there as a warranty safety net really.

Must stress I've not tried these - I'm happy with a pre-rooted/pre-Googled stock ZCDMD2 which I made myself so no need for a custom recovery or raised flash counter.

Hi kinghu, thank you so much for your help.
i am downloading now....:good:
Hey guys,
I was recently on the new OTA 4.3, then wiped and rooted after flashing an old PTALJ1 and re updating. Although it was weird that KNOX remained in the bootloader and still said i had Custom Binary Counts (YES 2 Counts) current binary was custom and system status was custom. The KNOX WARRANT VOID had a 1 next to it and AP SWREV:A2
This was after countless times trying to wipe all data and do a complete fresh wipe like I used to always do using the KIES_HOME_L900VPALJ1_L900SPTALJ1_265523_REV04_user_low_ship.tar
For some reason after going to stock 4.3 then backwards to rooted 4.1.2 I had this issue. So I found this on this forums. Gave it a spin and so far seems to have worked great, except when I restart and reboot into download mode, I still show same custom binary counts and knox warranty void. When I reboot I get that system UI has stopped working message. I also am missing icons in the pull down drawer, all that shows is airplane mode and one other. No option to add more.
I am hoping someone can shed some light on what I did wrong or what I can do to fix my issues. All I want is everything back to normal for now, no custom binaries, no voided knox warranty, and system UI working. Thanks guys
Reflashing the ROM should fix the SystemUI, and there's no way to reset Knox Warranty. Once it's 1, it's stuck on 1. Triangle away should set custom binary count to 0 though.
P.S. wanted to quote, but XDA app acting funny.
