Unrooting - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I'm trying to unroot my device back to stock since I'm pretty pleased with Touchwiz and want the next 4.1.2 update. I used triangle away to reset the flash counter and then used Odin to install a stock 4.1.1 firmware. However, when I look at device status it still says modified. Can I still get the OTA updates with this and is there any way to fix this and have it say normal?

What count does it say? Does it say count as "no"?

If you still have SuperSU installed in the settings there's and option to do full unroot, that's how unrooted my last gs3 before I returned it. Anyone more experienced please feel free to correct me, as obviously I am still a noob.

I'll re-root and see what that does.
EDIT: Did not work.

It sure is my phone, I don't have a need for it to be anything but stock at the moment so that's how I want it to be.

I have also tried doing the process over again but using the 4.0.4 firmware. Still nothing.
EDIT: Flashed 4.1.1 over 4.0.4 did the trick. Not sure why.

[Q]Got OTA and I'm rooted?

How can I be getting the update. If. I'm on juggernaut? Is this possible? It would probably brick my phone?

Is this your after update? You still have the old baseband Joser.

I'm assuming this is the update for 2.3.6 and wifi calling?
I got the same OTA notification, running Juggernaut 3.7
Did you guys install the update? Or just get a notification?

I don't mind updating via OTA (I'm on BeastMod now), but what I don't want to do its lose root and have to restore all the data manually.

It was a notification for the update with an option to install or postpone; I'm going to postpone mine as long as I can....not sure what that update will do being that I'm rooted and on Juggernaut.
I'm sure one of the dev teams will take the OTA and roll it into a ROM so we can get the update and keep everything that we're used to.
I'm still on stock and yet to get update. sucks!

I got the update notification too and I'm also running Juggernaut 3.7.
I'm using the EagleBlood ROM and I received the update notification today. I'm postponing it as long as I can, but is there a way to just reject the update? It's annoying seeing the icon in my notification bar.
Can any of you just pull the link please? It would be a great help to many people. Everyone keeps posting about it and that is not helping anyone.

The update is already rooted and posted. Along with the new basebands.

Yes but not all of us want to use Odin. I am very much aware of its presence in the development section. However, i can assure you that i am not alone in wanting the link/zip.

Link for what? I'm not following you. Are you wanting the actual ota zip? If so, someone who has been notified of the update can use root explorer and go to /data/cache and grab the zip.

I guess someone else tried running this update and it just took them to CMW and didn't give them the update. I just froze "device manager" from TB so i don't have those annoying update arrows. I will wait for the new juggernaut when they update it. I'm in no rush

Can anyone confirm root after t-mobile update??

Hesitant to flash back to stock to update, anyone know if they can use that galaxy s3 root toolkit after the new update
Just flash the already rooted rom. Just did a few phones with no problem.

It's safe to flash and root like normal. I just received my phone and it had a sticker on it that said updated. I didn't incur any problems.

Need help with Rooting

So I used the Odin one touch root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033&highlight=fh13+root
And it all seems to work fine, and I even got the PASS in the program, but when it rebooted, I got the Android System Recovery.
I hit reboot device in the Android System Recovery and it turned out that my device was not rooted, didn't even get the Super User app...thing.
So any help is appreciated with my situation. I did make sure I have ICS and FH13.
Did you use the rooted one? I think it's in post 2?

Unroot, use triangle away, restore stock recovery if you switched to cwm and factory reset to change from modified to stock

If only haha. Once you unroot, the device still says modified because the binary flash counter has increased from 0 to 1 (or higher). That pretty much tells the phone that your device was modified.
There are a few guides around on how to do it. I can't really search at the moment as Im on my phone.

ok...
So If I want to update with samsung when android 4.2 comes out so I have to use triangle away and also unroot it???
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Thats right. Someone mentioned just downloading the file from www.sammobile.com when its released and flashing that with odin.
Im not sure if that works while rooted but may be worth investigating?

Ok... then...
I'll go check it
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There is guides in this forum relating to your issue, but basically use Triangle Away, then wipe data/cache and it should change your status, though some say it reverts back to modified after time...
I would just leave it rooted. 4.2 based roms will be available here probably long before you would see it getting pushed to your device by your carrier.

Downloading and installing the firmware using ODIN resolves the issue.

What is the latest official ROM?

Im a note 2 user and just got my wife the s3 from at&t. Its rom shows 4.04 and when i run the software update it says its up to date. This seemed odd to me since im 2 generations ahead in the note 2. Is this really the latest official rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
The latest stock is 4.1.1. You need to use Kies to install it, or go here to grab the stock image for you to flash yourself.
Thanks. Surprised it isnt pre installed. So the 'softwar update' doesnt work?

AT&T is not distributing 4.1.1 OTA for whatever reason.

Due to the size it isn't an OTA update

Make sure you do a factory reset after upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1.1ROM. And clean caches. Some have had some funky issues after upgrading and that solved them.
