I went to my phone settings today to check for the jellybean OTA update thinking it wouldn't work since my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 is rooted & has clockwork mod.
Well it said update available, I selected it & it downloaded the update & then needed to reboot.
When the screen came back on there was the android with the spinning cube in his stomach & a progress bar below.
The progress bar only got about halfway done before the screen changed to android on his back with a red triangle in his stomach.
At the top of screen was a list with the 1st one being reboot phone. I rebooted & when phone started back up it said, "update failed, phone has been returned to original state"
What can I do short of completely un-rooting my phone to get jellybean & then re-rooting?
Waste of time. Just wait for the official jb update

That's not even the jelly bean update.
You need to start reading dude, he is right, it is not even a jb update...sheez...
If I want to unroot, I'm thinking of just flashing the newly released firmware on Sammobile for Rogers. This will take away root, BUT flash counter will still remain at 1 or 2. One way to reset flash counter is with TriangleAway, which I've done many times before, but in order to do that, one needs to be rooted which is what I'm trying to get rid of. If I remember reading correctly somewhere, the USB jig which I got for my S2 will not work on the Note 2 (unless I'm wrong). So in conclusion, after I remove root, how can I reset the counter? I'm doing this so I can regain my ability to receive OTA and gain some knowledge
Also, I notice that when the phone boots up, the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" logo is not present. It just goes from "Samsung" to the animation and to OS. Is this normal on Rogers or does this have anything to do with the root?
Many thanks for your help guys!

EDIT----SOLVED USING KIES---
Hey All---
My phone is rooted stock---when i went and tried to get the update, i was told that I couldn't because i wasn't on stock.
I then used triangle away to get rid of the counter.
when I go to check for the software update (4.1.2), it just stays on 'checking for software updates...'
Anyone have a clue?

The only way that i know of is flashing the stock 4.1.2 rooted ROM.
I recently tried to initialize the firmware of my galaxy s3 running 4.4.2 to factory settings. But samsung Kies tried to install 4.1 into my phone and it bricked my device. It wasn't booting since then. So i tried to install something using odin according to a website and my phone started working properly. But now the issue is, when the phone is in download mode, it shows that the current binary is custom, the System status is Custom and the warranty bit is 1(in red color). I tried installing an app from google pay to check whether its rooted. and it says the phone is not rooted. Also i checked the phone by putting it in recovery mode, and it says its running android system recovey <3e>. So that seems fine too. But im confused why the phone is showing that the current binary is custom and also the system status is also custom while the phone is not rooted? Ive included a before (pic with three fail messages) and after screnshot of the download mode of my phone. Please help
Flashing non-stock software via Odin will cause this.
To reset everything, it is best to root, run triangle away, remove root. and it may go back to official.
The status may remain at custom since AT&T never released a full 4.4.2 ROM as KK was only available via OTA.
I purchased a Galaxy Note 8 (GT-N5110) and it has the 4.1 OS. I tried to update it OTA and said it had been modified and was ineligible. So I looked and under status it said custom not official. So I attempted to update with KIES 2 and it was stopped by a , "Invalid Magic String" error. The knox Flag was tripped already so I am sure someone at some point had installed a nonstandard firmware upgrade or attempted a root. I notes that the OTA upgrade was a 4.2 upgrade so I tried the 4.4 firmware update in case someone had previously bootstrap locked it. I was unable to update using Odin. Whenever the device is off, the charge symbol just sits there, no animation and the device does not charge. If it is on it will charge. I attempted again last night and it failed. Now all the screen does is flash with the inactive charge Icon on the screen. I cannot get to the Odin download screen or the recovery screen. All out of ideas and need a little help.
Thanks
Same issue with me...
