[Q] Cannot Update

Rooted my Note 2 but decided to go back to stock rom. I ran Triangle away before I unrooted, message came up saying counter would stay at one.
So I unrooted, flashed, via odin, a stock Rom.......
Now when i go to software update I get a message...Your device has been modified software updates are not available..
So how can I solve this?
Thanks

My system status is Custom, I'm guessing that's why.
How do I get this back to default?
I already flashed with an official Rom - jroo3c.n7100xxalj1

Anyone help?

Ok folks, what I need to know is ....
how to get the device status and binary both back to Official?
Surely someone can help with that?

OK. I read it again & have already flashed a stock rom but my SYSTEM STATUS is still custom.

That's weird! I'll say you root again, use Triangle Away (Play Store version) to reset counter and then Flash stock rom back, then wipe cache.

Tried all that till I'm blue in the face but system status is still saying Custom

Damn! Take a Nandroid backup (or any method you like) and do a full wipe.

Ya know, I must have wiped my note over 20 times today & it's still the same...But thanks anyhow

Flash CF Auto root first. Use Triangle Away. Then do a full wipe.

Your initial post mentions your counter would be set at 1?
Why would Triangle Away say your counter would stay at 1?
It should be reset to zero in the end.
Go into download mode and check that
Custom Binary Download = No.
Otherwise you didn't use Triangle Away properly.
Once you're sure it's on No.
Flash via Odin your stock firmware.
Let it boot up, and if you go into download mode again,
Then it should read:
Custom Binary Download = No.
Current Binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Custom
Let it boot up, then go into recovery mode, and wipe data, and wipe cache.
Then after all the wipes, it should become normal again.
My suspicions are that you did not reset the counter properly.

Well I'm still no nearer solving this problem....
When I ran Triangle away the message came up about the counter still reading 1 after running it, no idea why I didn't write the program.
I have not my counter to 0.
I have done all this -
Once you're sure it's on No.
Flash via Odin your stock firmware.
Let it boot up, and if you go into download mode again,
Then it should read:
Custom Binary Download = No.
Current Binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Custom<<<<<<<<<I Want that to be back to default NOT Custom
Let it boot up, then go into recovery mode, and wipe data, and wipe cache.
Then after all the wipes, it should become normal again.
I did all that, must be 10 -15 times already
Why is this still System Status = Custom
All I want is for it to be back to how it was when I first boot the phone out of the box.

Tell us the steps you were taking when using TA.
You must be rooted to use TA.
Root your phone again and use TA again.

This....
Flash Stock ROM (Odin 3.07)
Root with Stock Recovery - CF auto Root from Chainfire (Odin 3.07)
Use Triangle Away
Let it reboot!
Shut down
Enter Recovery
Wipe Cache - Wipe Data/Factory reset - Wipe Cache - Wipe Data/Factory reset - Wipe Cache (I suppose that is one too many but it worked for me that way)
Reboot - you have to reboot. If you don´t the system status will be custom.
Didn't work for me

The only way to have Stock everything is if you flash back to a stock rom AFTER using triangle away. From what you've done, you're still rooted. That's what is causing it.
Do this.
If your counter is not reset to 0:
Gain root access by using the cwm + root,
Use triangle away and choose reset counter by tapping the very last option.
It will reboot. Then go to download mode and flash stock rom. It will reboot. Then go into stock recovery and clear data and cache, and reboot.
If your counter is already reset,
Flash the stock rom, let it reboot. Go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache, and reboot.
This way, you're unrooted and you're back on stock rom.

On Triangle Away, when you click on reset counter, the device will boot and you need to press the Volume UP button to reset counter. Are you sure you did that?

If you`re counter is reset to 0 with Triangle Away, and you flashed a stock rom, you have to do a data/factory reset in settings, backup and restore to reset the status to Normal. If you don`t do that it will say: Staus Modified.

For post 1 and 2, you guys aren't getting the update because the system status is set as Custom, you need to have it as Official to connect successfully to OTA server. To make it official, do these,
1- Use Triangle Away (the paid version in Play Store). This will reset your counter.
2- Now flash a stock ROM via Odin.
3- After flashing, go to recovery, and Wipe data/reset, Wipe cache and Wipe dalvik cache.
4- Use Triangle Away once again.
This should make both the status official and you'll be receiving OTA updates.

If I want to some root-based program, like DirectoryBind, and preserve my game data, installed apps, etc, would the steps be modified as:
1- Use Triangle Away (the paid version in Play Store). This will reset your counter.
2- Now flash a stock ROM via Odin. (or DO nothing if I only rooted the phone before, right?)
2.1 Go to recovery, do a backup
3- After flashing, go to recovery, and Wipe data/reset, Wipe cache and Wipe dalvik cache.
4- Use Triangle Away once again.
This should make both the status official and you'll be receiving OTA updates.
5. Go to recovery, do a restore.
is that correct?

If you ask me, you guys shouldn't worry too much about OTA updates. You can easily update your phone once an update comes out by downloading the rom from www.sammobile.com or other sites and flashing it. Samsung's OTA updates are too rare and too far distant from each other that they don't deserve all this headache. In fact, most updates leak out earlier than they are available through OTA. Just my two cents.

HELP! note2 n7100 stuck on boot animation

after multi window mod my international galaxy note n7100 stuck on boot. IT JUST RESTARTS AFTER O2 ANIMATION.
had backup file on TWRP but even after restore - the same.
did factory reset, cleared cache , did format/wipe - still the same.
any ideas ?
installed cwm recovery, tried to wipe cache but everytime it stops and nothing happens, have to remove battery.
should i try different rom? or should i send it back to shop, as not sure if i did VOID warranty (used Galaxy Note2 ToolKit to root, and install TWPR and CWM)

ODIN mode still shows custom system after KIES restore?

I need to send my phone back for repairs and obviously if my system shows it's been rooted it would be rejected.
So I ran Triangle away and it reset the counter to 0. then I used KIES to do a wipe and restore it back to factory settings. Afterwards I did a data wipe and cache wipe in recovery mode just to be sure. However ODIN mode still shows the system status as custom.
how can I get that to revert back to Official? I thought KIES would automatically set that back to official since I am technically using the official samsung firmware no?

What does the device status say on your phone?
I'd try it again and follow all the steps again. Mine worked when I did it so it might a step out of order

[Q] How can I go back to stock recovery and rom?

So I just bought this phone from tmobile and rooted it and flashed TWRP. Everything worked fine when I booted it with root access and everything. it started a bootloop after I tried to backup to external SD upon first reboot.
Is there anyway to revert back to pure stock? That means stock firmware (4.3) and stock recovery . So basically , I want it to be the same as I bought it.

Sure, that's easy...
Just go to http://SamMobile.com or other trusted source and download
The Tmobile official stock NE1 Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware and flash it using
Odin.
Make sure you do a full wipe in recovery mode before odin flashing the
official stock firmware.
(wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system and do a factory reset in recovery.)
Once you have done that successfully your phone will be official stock.
Good luck!
