[Have seen this in other forums but wasn't sure if the solutions there applied to the S4]
Anyways, the only thing I've done on my S4 is 1) sim-unlock the device via (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683) and 2) root the device via KIES.
I have not installed any custom firmware or whatnot, I've only done the above 2. When I try to hit System Update, I get the message "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available."
I even ran Triangle Away to bring my counter back down to 0 (even if I didn't install any custom firmware) and I'm still getting this error. Does anyone have any solutions?
Should I unroot the device and will that bring it back to normal?
Thanks in advance!
It's because you rooted your phone

Just flash a new ROM. As software updates become available the devs will base ROMs off of the latest update.

I got the same message. I removed root and tried to update and got the same thing. I was wondering if a factory reset would restore my updates.

Try using Triangle-Away.
In triangle away there is an option to disable root for a minute or so when booting, this will have the stock rom think its not rooted, enabling software updates.
same issue
I had the same issue. I had rooted my phone and got that message when trying to update OTA.
I really wanted the ability to put apps on the sd card from the phone itself and not have to use some fancy app to do it for me and make symbolic links (Linux stuff)
What I did was goto settings-accounts-backup and reset- and selected factory data reset.
This completely returns your phone to stock like it came out of the box. afterward I didn't get the message but I kept getting server communication errors so I connected my phone through usb to kies and it is doing the firmware upgrade as I type and OMFG is it the slowest ****ing thing I have ever had the misfortune to do. Its been on for about 3 hours and its only at 42%
And strangely my phone is still completely usable while this is going on.
Wait, is the update available for the T-Mobile devices now?

Does anyone know if it works?
I've just rooted my phone a few days ago, and removed some Sumsang and t-mobile bloatware, and that message appeared.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone of us will be answer. Soon as an update is released. But in order to get an update, you MUST be completely stock, down to the bloatware.
your system has been modified

You need to Odin back to totally stock. Use Triangle Away to clear your flash counter.

Hello brother, I guess there is some misunderstanding regarding device model. My question is for my samsung note 10.1 GT-N8000 . Should I follow the same steps to get back my original system ? Please suggest. Thanks.
Seems like you should be asking this question in right forum then.
Im having the same issue after using triangle away. Everything says official and flash count is at 0. Any ideas? Also, with flash count set at 0 and everything listed as official, does this mean i will be ok for warranty? Im having an issue with my touchscreen working and the Tmobile place had to send me a new phone
Edit: Done a factory reset after using triangle away and i got the "Your device is up to date." Message. Still somewhat worried about warranty though.

If you have used Triangle away and flash counter shows 0 plus everything show "Official" you shouldn't have a problem

You likely have the problem that some system files got corrupted because of bad EMMC.
When the update fails and you have the fallen android, press/hold Power, then press/release VolUp, then release Power.
This will show you the error and can confirm or refute this diagnosis.
If you want to get past it in the more efficient manner, you'll probably need to unlock the bootloader, then flash one of the factory images.
I will see that when the OTA notification comes again..... But how can I solve the problem.... is anyone else facing it ?
Will I get an Android 4.4 update ?

As I mentioned you'll probably need to flash a factory image to get around it, or you'll have to identify each file that is corrupted and replace it.
If you don't resolve the problem you won't get the 4.4 update automatically, but you can manually install the 4.4 factory image.

I and the op posted extensively in that thread. All the solutions there require unlocking your bootloader. If you are going to do that you might as well just flash the factory image.
Ya see that's what the problem is I don't know what's unlocking boot loader and flashing stock ram etc

Person on the other thread mentioned they got a JWR66N->KRT16S OTA update.
Previously we had only seen JSS15R->KRT16S updates, which would mean you would need to get from JWR66N->JSS15R first. The JWR66N->JSS15R update would fail for you, but there is a chance a JWR66N->KRT16S update would work because more files are shipped whole and not as patches.
Regarding the youtube video, it should get your where you need to be. I would skip the relocking of your device though to keep future flexibility in case something like this happens again.
If you want to be on KRT16S(4.4), then just flash the KRT16S factory image. If you want to be on the latest 4.3 then flash JSS15R.
Keep in mind unlocking the bootloader will erase your use data (including your virtual sdcard) so backup anything important and move it off the tablet to your PC or the cloud.

Hello all,
I had my s3 rooted, and unlocked with stock ROM. And I think I've also freeze my "AT&T Software Update" a while ago, so it was stuck on 4.1.1. Now, I would like to update my firmware to 4.3 or newer, and stay stock. I tried to go to the setting and select Software update, but nothing happen. I've also tried to find that "AT&T Software Update" in Titanium Pro, but have no result. Can anyone point me to the right direction on how I can do it?
Thanks
You can't update if you're rooted
So in order to update you need to unroot or just download the 4.3 firmware and flash thru Odin

You can do a 2-step manual update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and then to 4.3. Please go to page 300 of the thread below to see my steers to another user on exactly the same issue.

Thanks Larry. That's a really helpful information. One question though, if I do these manual update, am I expecting all data will be gone? Or will it simply update the firmware, and leave everything alone?
Thanks again
Updating to a stock 4.3 ROM will install Knox too. Rooting will trip the Knox counter. If you have no warranty on your phone, this will not be a problem.
lo
You should also know that Knox can sometimes interfere with obtaining root. Once you're on a 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.

I should have mentioned that earlier. Yes, updating can affect all your data so I would advise you first back up your data. You can install Samsung Kies on your phone and use this to back up your data, apps and everything else you want and restore afterwards. Please see also Audit's post. Updating to the latest firmware which is 4.3 could be a one-way trip and will install Knox security on your phone. The update will unroot your phone, restore to factory settings and install stock recovery. If you decide to re-root afterwards, however, there are several ways of doing this.
I am a little confused about what constitues an OTA update and wished to clarify this throughly since all rooting methods have a precautionary message regarding this.
From what I know:
1. OTA updates are "only" firmware updates.
What I am confused about:
Considering my above assumption of it being only a firmware update to be right
1. Does OTA update refer to only certain methods of firmware installation?
2.Are there methods to permanently disable it such that only intentional manual procedure will cause it to happen ( E.g: System settings)
Thanks in advance :good:

OTA updates will never install automatically, so take that off your worry list
1.) OTA updates are downloaded to the phone after you allow the download to proceed. Even if you accidentally click download, it will confirm with you again before rebooting the phone and installing it.
2.) If it does give you the notification, you can just long click the notification and Force Close the process. Then it won't bother you again until the next update comes out, or you choose to unroot and flash preroot, then update.

I woke up to a System Update H83010d.
I got this update also but haven't installed it yet. The question is, have you been able to keep root after the update?
So I went ahead and tried the update while being rooted and having twrp installed. The update failed. Here is a screenshot of it. What is weird is the failed message says this update is for an h1 device but mine is an h830.
So pls share something, is good bad update ?Battery life, camera or any other changes ?
I can confirm it fixed the issues I was having reconnecting to my stereo on Bluetooth

I'm using an unlocked H830 on AT&T and have tried getting the update with an unactivated T-Mobile sim, but no luck. I really hope this update would fix the static issue I have with the aux cord in my car.
Anyone have any suggestions?

if u want twrp/root.. get it on 10A first then flash the 10D complete zip.
if u dont want TWRP/root then update thru LG Bridge or LGUP + 10d KDZ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ock-h830-10d-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3406505
i got the update too. Is it safe to update and keep root? otherwise, is there a way to block the update? Does it maybe fix an issue where wifi randomly turns off?
PSA : Warning! If the update is installed you will brick your phone trying to go back to H83010a firmware.
The update fixed my GPS issues, no issues with locking on now.

Go to the thread by autoprime. You don't have to worry about accepting OTA plus it evidently will fail anyway.
