okay so this is wat I'm up against .
I rooted my GS4 about a week ago and everything has gone fine , I have not installed any custom roms (still running stock) but I do have twrp recovery installed . now of course when I try to get the OTA update I get the "your device has been modified software updates are not available" (I'm guessing this is because of the twrp recovery) . . now my question is is there a way to get the update without unrooting or having to reinstall stock recovery (so I can keep twrp recovery) since I still have the stock rom on my phone ? and if there is not where can I find stock recovery file to put back onto my phone .
any help would be appreciated , thanks yall .

You can try Triangle Away, some have said that it can spoof your device as being un-modified for a boot or so, but if that doesn't work the best bet would be to just make a backup with TWRP, make sure you save it on your SD card or even back it up to a computer, use Triangle Away to reset your flash counter, then Odin back to stock. Might be a different/easier way to do it, but that way would most assuredly work.
You can use Mobile Odin to only install stock recovery (I keep the full stock .tar on my SD card for emergency purposes), then use Triangle Away to clean up your flash counter. Should be Official then.
And after you ODIN, you MUST do a factory reset to get the official back.
Thank you.

Not true, I flashed back to a back up on TWRP, used Mobile Odin to flash stock recovery, used Triangle away to reset counter and checked the option in TA to disable root on boot up for a few minutes, and mine is Official.
are there files which have js stock recovery or would I have to flash the whole stock rom over again even tho I still am using stock rom .

I need to return my Note2, so would like to get it 'back to stock'. No matter what I do, though, it keeps saying 'modified'.
Originally I:
Rooted and installed CWM via the Toolkit
Installed de-bloated ROM
As an attempt to get it back to stock I have:
Used CF-AUTO-ROOT to restore stock recovery
Restored stock kernel via Odin
Used Triangle Away to reset counter
Every reboot, though, I keep getting my flash count reset to 1 and it always says modified...
The CF thread mentions that you may need to restore the stock rom, too. Where would I find a stock rom?
Anyone else successful in resetting their 'modified' status?

Flash via Odin . CR ROOT + TRIANGLE AWAY+UNROOT
Interested in seeing if this works....
hi ,i have TWRP , i unrooted my phone, how can i root it again , my USB port is not working .. Is there a file just to load to SD card and proceed from there?
If you already have TWRP, then all you need is to flash a superuser or supersu zip file through the recovery, and you are rooted. All you need to do is put it on your SD card.

Are you trying to put the stock S3 on the rooted S3, or vice versa?

You could purchase mobile odin pro from the play store and try to flash the stock ROM through it.

You cannot completely backup a stock GS3 without root. The most you can do is backup your app installs (not settings), your text messages, contacts, and a few other things. You could us MyBackup for that, but system and app settings, as well as backing up the entire ROM requires root.
EDIT: Sorry, doing too many things at once, to backup your ROM, you would have to flash a custom Recovery through Odin (not mobile Odin), and then do a backup through that Recovery.
If you're looking to put the stock ROM back your rooted phone, there is no need to root a stock phone that isnt rooted, back up the stock ROM to flash it over to the phone you're trying to send in...
Download the stock ROM from XDA and flash it back onto the rooted phone making sure you check to make sure you didnt trip the ROM counter.
Check the DEV section for the stock ROMs. They are in there.

That appears to be the stock ROM link you may be looking for

No problem.
SGH-T999, stock t999uvdlja
A month or two ago, I followed a rooting instructions thread on here. It had me use odin to flash over a clockwork recovery mod as the first step. It flashed over fine according to odin, but I was never able to enter recovery following the next steps and therefore was not able to root. I can't find the thread anymore.
I realized after the fact that my phone was already on Jellybean, so I presume, maybe wrongly, that the reason the clockwork mod wouldn't work was because it was for the older Ice cream sandwich firmware.
Anyway, now my phone says unable to update because it's modified when I go into settings:about:software updates.
I want to get this error to go away. I have kies and there is now a firmware update in there that I would like to do to see if it fixes a problem with the wifi calling app breaking caller id among other things.
I am afraid that if I try to push this update via kies, it may brick the phone or not work thanks to the clockwork mod problem.
So two questions: 1) how can I un-flash that clockwork mod out of there and make the recovery back to stock so there is no further error or possible warranty issue, and 2) is it safe to do that kies firmware update and if so would that fix the recovery on its own?
Any ideas?

You need to find the stock recovery .tar file and use odin to flash it the same way you flashed the cwm recovery. Then you will probably need to use triangle away to reset the counter.....dont think kies would work if it sees your device is modified but not sure about that.
Use triangle away first to reset your flash counter then odin the completly stock jb from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426424....this is from docholidays thread for stock odin roms in the sticky section of development. ..this should give you a completely stock phone including recovery.....you will lose your data from this process but your sd card will be fine.
Edit: just realized you dont have root...you need root to use triangle away....so first odin root 66 pre root stock rom....then use triangle away....then odin stock unrooted rom that I linked above.

Ok.. here you go-
1. Download pre-rooted dmg1 stock rom from dr.ketan's thread. Install it from odin PDA tab. If you are stuck on the initial boot screen, go to stock recovery and reset/clear data (warning- this will also wipe you personal data on the internal memory, make sure you backup important stuff)
2. Install triangle away android app and reset the custom counter in the bootloader to zero... and then dont install a custom recovery because even after installing the recovery, if you set the counter to zero, then you'll have it again to '1' everytime you boot your phone because the bootloader detects the custom recovery during boot
3. Whenever you want to claim your warranty, go to superSU app and go to 'unroot'..
You'll have full stock dmg1 (4.1.2) n7100 and ready to claim warranty :thumbup:

Hi
I have just restored a stock rom back onto my l9192 using odin, but in download mode it still says custom, is that normal, or is there a way to make it say official again ?
Thanks
JD
Flash stock rom via Odin. Root your phone via Odin. Use Triangle Away.
Sorry for my bad English
Hi
I don't want the phone rooted though ? Will it still get OTA updates currently with the Stock ROM i have on it via Odin?
JD

Flash desired firmware until it shows official status.
Sometimes baseband don't change.
Factory reset, flash firmware let it boot, turno of using power button and restart Odin mode using key combination.
You should get official again.
