Hi! When I search for software updates it says that my device has been modified. I have rooted it and that is my only "modification" and how do I remove so my phone don't think it is modified?

To get the status to Normal instead of Modified use Triangle Away to reset the binary flash counter, flash stock firmware with Odin and do a data/factory reset after the booot-up. You will loose root though.

Yes, it is compatible. Used it myself muliple times. Use version 2.10 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1407144&d=1350418206 or buy it in Playstore.
If you just want to apply a update you don't have to reset your phone. Proceed as follows:
1. Connect your phone to your PC and start the update procedure via KIES.
2. Once the update procedure fails due to "modified phone"-warning reboot your phone into stock recovery mode.
3. Apply update.zip which is located in /cache/fota.
4. Reboot as normal.
That is how I did it anyway

Were you rooted? Does this process affect root?
When I rooted it using ODIN there were an option called "Reset Time" or something similar, if I didn't miss understand this option resets the count that "tells" Samsung my device has been modified? In that case, is it just to do everything with my cellphone like I did when I rooted and instead of adding PDA I just checks the checkbox?

Listen good, when you use Triangle Away you have to be on samsung firmware and use a stock kernel or the counter will be 1 again upon boot. So what you have to do is be on samsung stock firrmware ,root the phone again and use Triangle Away to reset the binary counter. After reboot go in downloadmode and check that the counter is reset to 0. After that reflash the stock rom with Odin and after the boot you do data/factory reset in settings, backup and restore. Now the status should be Normal after the phone rebooted.
Just flash a stock rom then use chainfires auto root. Dont flash a custom recovery mode. Then after using autoroot use triangle away.then let the device settle for a min then enter recovery mode then wipe cache> wipe data factory reset> then wipe cache again then reboot. Your root will remain but device status is normal.

Are you sure? because I did exactly as you said, I have CF auto root and after wipe cache and factory reset and cache again the device is modified the same, flash counter is 0, did it with triangle away....
The strangest thing just happened to me today. 2 days ago I rooted using cf auto-root. I tried to reset the counter using my jig but it didn't work, so I bought triangle away and reset the counter.
The status of my phone was showing modified after that and I cannot access the ota. But this morning, my phone status showed normal and I was able to access the ota! And I still have root! Woo hoo!

What if I already have CWM installed?
I'm new to rooting and recently i attempted to root my Samsung galaxy S3 it using the Samsung galaxy S3 toolkit V5. My build was not listed so i selected build #1, I installed the drivers to my pc, went to rooting options, selected option #3 All In One, Enabled USB debugging ans started the process which opened up Odin and started doing its thing, but basically my phone was in Odin mode with the android figure which says downloading... Do not turn off target! but of course I thought it wasn't working and i had to unplug the USB and put it back in (I know I'm stupid Lol)
Now my phone will not boot at all, when i hold up volume power and home a battery image shows up and the phone shuts off again even though its plugged into my computer.
When i hold volume down power and home, this shows up: Warning! A custom os can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications
if you want to download a custom os press the volume up key, otherwhise press volume down to restart phone.
If i press voulume down it does not restart, it simply shuts off again.
If i press volume up it goes back to the downloading android even though it isnt downloading anything.
At the top left corner it says:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
My phone is not even detected on my computer or by the toolkit anymore, Im not sure if Odin detects it either.
I cant find any help regarding my specific problem and im starting to lose hope. Please help.

You can still get into Download mode so there is still hope. I'll provide a link I think you should check out. Remember to choose the proper carrier and follow the instructions to flash.

Thanks for the help so far, i used your method but the installation failed so I selected wipe the cache and reboot my phone and when it rebooted it stayed stuck at the blue light and Samsung logo. Now no matter what i do, when the phone restarts it stays stuck at that logo.
When i go back to Odin mode it it says there are now 5 custom binary downloads.
Did you also wipe data/factory reset along with clearing the cache/dalvik cache?
Down load stock firmware for your phone at Samsung.com and flash it in Odin. You can reset flash count with triangle away.

I have tried this method twice, followed it exactly. it doesn't work on the Canadian variant (i317M) on Bell. In download mode, device status still reads: "Custom".
Triangle away's description on the play store reads: "on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!" but I have stock everything, I never did anything other than use CF-autoroot to be able to restore a Titanium Backup, I never flashed a custom kernel, custom recovery...
I really wish Triangle Away would reset my device status, as I want to be 100% stock from now on with OTA updates.
Go into recovery by pressing volume up home button then power and hold till Samsung screen shows and see what recovery u are using. My guess is it is a custom recovery

I'm not running a custom recovery. The guide linked says to run CF-autoroot which flashes stock recovery. I then run Triangle Away, then uninstall Triangle Away and do a Full Unroot through SU then do another factory reset. I'm stock kernel, recovery, ROM, everything, with a zero flash counter, but OTA updates are still broken.
Not sure... Try doing it all over

If your flash counter is at 0, then it worked I'm gonna guess. Where are you that you are getting an OTA update? Because AT&T hasn't released any.
I realize this may have been asked before and if so i want to apologize in advance. First off Im an android NOOB. Long time iphone user and jailbreaker. Anyhow, I rooted my ATT Samsung Galaxy note 2 with CWM6, I also made a backup after installing this from inside recovery. I believe that is what its called anyhow. I then tryed Jedi X and CleanRom 3.0.1. After giving these 2 a try I realized I prefer stock and set out to go back to that. I followed all the instruction that are listed on the pages within XDA. Ran triangle away and removed SU. After reboot Im still sitting in a modified status.
Now according to Triangle Away documentation this can happen. And I need to install a stock firmware. Im currently downloading that from a link on this site.
I re-rooted and installed triangle away.
My question is what order should everuthing be done? Im guessing, 1, flash stock recovery. 2, run triangle away, Uninstall SuperSU 4 flash factory firmware. Is this correct? Also, how do I flash factory firmware? Do I use factory recovery mode to do this?
Thanks so much for the help in advance.
By flashing factory firmware you are tripping the counter again. If you are already on stock firmware and just rooted look here.
1. Factory reset
2. Restore stock rooted backup

Flashing a stock rom through Odin does not trip the counter
Sent from my Bell Note II
If you do triangle away, then go into download mode, then flash stock rom you will trip the counter.... you should have stock rom on before triangle away. Then triangle away. Then unroot.

Device status in settings still says modified. I have no root, no TA and stock recovery this stuff is driving me batty.
Edit. I just tried to go into stock recovery by volume up, home and power. It DOES not go to whatever menu is there. It just boots.

Stock recovery should work..... If not try cf root again. That restores stock
Anyways you need to factory reset to change modify to official.
I suggest you dont factory reset unless you need to return it, You may decide to root again as I did.

Yea, I tried to factory reset, but i was missing the stock recovery so it went into a boot loop. I battery pulled and booted odin and reinstalled factory recovery, using cf-auto root. Here is my question. Everytime I factory reset it auto installs SuperSU. WTH is going on here
What is the downside of staying rooted? Can I still get updates? Maybe not OTA but some how?
Did you go into supersu do full unroot then factory reset?
Being rooted only affects renting and buying from play store and ota updates.
Upside of rooting... having newest firmware before everone else

The very first time I rooted with cwm6 the tutoril said to make a backup of those settings. Is it possible that when I perform the reset with stock recovery that it is reflashing supersu? Because that is what im seeing on my end. Weird thing is that odin mode still shows 0 flashes but cant get rid of supersu it just comes back after reset.

if you're still stuck, consider the using the method i followed in post 51 in the cf root thread (steps 2-8). ignore step 1 if you don't have a custom recovery (e.g., CWM or TWRP). i've followed the steps listed in that post on 4 different devices and it's worked every time. good luck, hope you get this resolved.
Did you go into supersu and click full unroot thats the last step.
Then you can facrory reset in stock recovery.

Ive followed your direction. I have no custom recovery. Odin download mode still shows official with no counts of flashes.
After bootup I still have SuperSu.
I have done complete unroot with superSu so many times its not funny. Each time I do the unroot I go and do a factory reset. And after every reset it restores root. Under device status it says modified, but Odin says im good. Can I do OTA in this status?
I shouldnt say it restored root after factory reset but it does restore supersu.
After you do full unroot go to play store and unistall all supersu supersu pro super user etc. Then factory reset.
Also take a screenshot of your device app drawer after you factory reset.

So I was jacking with my phone at work today and I was looking at the internal memory. I had several entrues for titanium backup still sitting there. Wanting to get rid of all things root on my phone I went througj and deleted everything resembling root apps. Then rebooted. Check device settings and it says NORMAL!!! I dont know which app or what was causing it and I dont care. It is back to normal. Thanks for all your help last night.
No problem please don't make this a reason you dont root in the future. I learned the hard way like you did with help from the good people here. Im sure you will be alot more successful on the next go around.

Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. See the third post for exact supported model numbers. If your device is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices (Galaxy S1, Galaxy Tab 7", Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, and many more) and has clocked over 13 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter. You should run Triangle Away (see below) after rooting to reset the counter. Note that if you want to run custom kernels or custom recoveries, your flash counter will be set to 1 at every boot. Either configure Triangle Away to reset the counter at every boot (Play version only) or only reset the counter when you need to go into warranty.
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Why isn't this just called CF-Root
The traditional CF-Root's included a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc) and were meant for devices that had a single kernel/recovery combination. CF-Auto-Root doesn't include a custom recovery and is meant for devices that have kernel and recovery separate (so you can manually install any custom recovery you wish). The Auto part comes from the fact that a large part of the process is automated (though it constantly needs adjusting)
Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

For requests for new roots and generic discussion - please keep device specific discussion in the thread you are viewing now.
ODIN Installation (detailed)
Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!
You may now optionally want to install and run Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

If you are rooted or have custom firmware then triangle away wine make it go away completely. You need to be completely Stock or it will not completely go away.

I'm completely stock except for having run CF-Auto-Root, no custom rom, no kernel changes, none of that (and likely won't be). all the reports are saying it's a common issue now on the S4.

If you are rooted or have custom firmware then triangle away wine make it go away completely. You need to be completely Stock or it will not completely go away.

I thought you had to be rooted in order to use triangle away.

What he means is stock everything and rooted, you can't have a custom kernel and have it work you need to be completely stock build for it to work otherwise it will show as custom. The idea is to reset the device to stock and use triangle away to reset the counter then it'll be as if it was never rooted.

Yup. But he/she said rooted OR custom kernel. In case people want to use triangle away before returning a device, they need to use it before they unroot in order to reset the counter. That previous post could confuse some people.
