I just unrooted my phone, and device status says official. That means its just back to how I got it from the store, and I can get the ota update, right?
When I go to about device and press software update, it will update as if I never rooted the phone, correct?
Pretty much what I'm trying to ask, my phone is back to its full original form, as if I never rooted it, right?

yes. if you have not flashed anything then your back to complete stock however if you flashed any custom rom your flash counter will have been tripped which would require you use traingle away to rest. But if all you did was root your phone with motochopper and have now unrooted it, it should be like stock

Follow this guide that I made if you want to get ota updates again. There's an issue where you probably have to wipe your internal SD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392
In my opinion, to get the latest update just download the official .tar rom from sammobile.com and flash it in Odin... You'll ,together, return to box state and have the most up to date official rom...
Always be careful, read read and read before you do anything...
The flash counter increases every time you use Odin to flash (e.g., a rooted kernel) even if everything else is stock. When I needed warranty exchange a few weeks ago I was forced to use Triangle Away even though I had never installed a custom ROM and had only been rooted.

Unrooted
Profit.
If your device Status is Modified.... Factory Reset will make it Official.Soooo Unless you need to return your phone, leave it alone.
Always make a stock rooted backup whenever you root and you can revert back to stock in minutes without factory reset
This took me 2 hours to figure without losing apps or data. So hit the thanks if it helped

if you use TA under root, doesn't it force an auto reboot? How do you get the SU to do full unroot then?
Yes, once you do TA it reboots in a recovery and warns you tge resets counter. Does not factory reset just restarts and clears counter.
Under supersu if you scroll down to the bottom of options ut wilk say full unroot.
Id show a screenshot but I unrooted already. If you see it can you post a screenshot.

easiest way. once you run the TA app, it'll reboot, once you press 'vol up' to clear and when it's done (screen goes blank), pull the battery, go to DOWNLOAD mode, it'll be 0.
Does this also work on the Rogers version? It is the SGH-I317M.

Make sure all rooted apps are uninstalled then go to settings. If it says modified like mine then there is still a rooted app installed. Your picture is correct, shows everything stock.

Post your device status as well mine said modified. Yours should be normal. Good info thanks.
And yes those steps are what you will follow to put back in factory settings. The device status must also be unmodified. In my pic its modified.

One quick question. ..
Okay so if I DID make a stock rooted nandroid backup before I flashed custom rom and kernal and I wanted to just completely unroot and go back to stock everything, then all I would have to do is just flash back to the nandroid I made, then run triangle away, delete any root apps, then click unroot in SuperUser and I should be good to go if I have to take the phone in for warranty? And will it be in that exact order? Or should I just run triangle away then factory reset and flash official stock rom? Is that basically the same? Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks

Recent Samsung phones have this triangle counter in their bootloader that gets triggered when you modify the system. This is completely separate from your rom and it will remain triggered even if you flash a brand new rom because this is done at bootloader level. There are ways to wipe this triangle counter to 0 so that even your bootloader thinks you didn't modify anything.
You couldn't get OTA because your triangle counter was triggered.

Hey guys, im having a bit of an issue. I cant check for software updates because my device has been modified. Is there a fix for this, even after I Flashed the stock tar file, it still gives me this message :/ I have only flashed one ROM on this device, but since I forgot to make a back-up I resort to using Odin when I want to get back to stock. Now I read on another thread that root could be a cause, so I figured, complete restore with with Odin would help, but instead I get the same message.

Yea, you need root to use Triangle Away. After you reset the counter, just flash back to stock.
So a couple of weeks ago, I installed a font app which changes the font. When it rebooted, the device was bricked... So I went through the long and tedious process of DL the firmware and flashing stock to my device then getting my phone back to the original state since everything was wiped... Now I have a problem, I can't get ota updates cause it says my device is modified. And I don't understand cause I'm fully stock!!! Check the pictures out with my phone's info but please help.

my some friend flash official ROM back to LJ1 after they OTA update to mk4 ，they can't do OTA again ，some of them do it and the device was bricked .
the bricked device came only into ODIN mode , ever can't into recovery mode .
finally they unbricked the device and not dare to OTA again .
i think ,it's because of the KNBOX .

You can go back I did plus get rid of knox bootloader. I was stuck and everytime I tried the knox bootloader was saying unsupported and wouldn't allow me to downgrade. So what I did was flash twrp in odin and then downloaded a stock mc rom with count reset and stock bootloader rooted or non there was two versions and it put me back bone stock with no knox anything. That's the only way I know that worked for me I tried allot of different ways that didnt work. With knox it block everything.

If your on knox bootloader it won't let you downgrade with odin . Go to download mode and see if you see knox stuff at the top of you do try downgrading my way.

Ok let me make sure I'm understanding this. If I want to go back to mc2 I can use the back to stock with counter reset mc2 zip right? And if I'm correct flashing the custom recovery to do so will set off Knox correct? But once the zip flashes I'll be back on mc2 bootloader without Knox I'm assuming. Now let's say I decide to update again, will the 4.3 Knox bootloader show 0 or be marked as 1 like it's tampered?

Re upgrading to the 4.3 upgrade will cause the knox status in download mode to reappear and yes it will still be tripped. But you could revert to MC2 and then use lorjay589s thread to upgrade to the new 4.3 with the MC2 bootloader so everything will appear untampered

Okay.. I had upgraded to the 4.3 Deodexed and Rooted KNOX removed ROM by lorjay589. Great rom, but I was missing some of the things that I use (Wallet, NFC, "That Bump Thing", etc...)
I wanted to resort to MC2 Stock and reset the counter and then take the OTA, and just deal with it from that point.
When I did the normal boot into recovery, wipe completely, and then flash the MC2 Stock with Counter Reset ROM (As I have done multiple times in the past), along with the root.zip to maintain root temporarily to restore my app data, I ended up stuck on the "U Were Scared we're almost done) for ever. I waited and waited and waited. The options in TWRP were available and the log shows "Updating partition details" and it never moved.
I decided (after 30 minutes) to pull the battery (Yea, I know, not smart), and attempt the clean/flash again.
Now, I'm sitting with no OS and each time I reboot the phone into recovery, I go right back to the "U Were Scared" TWRP screen, and my SD Card is not available any longer.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks
had the same issue. just hit install and reflash mc2.
