Got this notification on my wife's phone a couple days ago and was wondering if anyone else has too. I have been waiting for a root exploit and have not accepted build updates or security updates just in case. If anyone has any info they would like to share I would greatly appreciate it! I didn't see the question asked already and have never received this on any previous phones, thanks again!

I believe this is only the Samsung billing app update or the sign in app. I was getting this on the S5 I had and it didn't affect root. It can be reverted by flashing the stock tar so I wouldn't be worried about it.
Thanks for the responses, I'm gonna take it, if I get any ill effects I'll report back ☺
I took it, too. Pretty sure it's only for a Samsung app.

Yepp. It's just for the app. If you turn Samsung Account off, it makes you uninstall the update, and as soon as I turned it back on and tried to download a new camera mode, the notification to update came right back.

I just clicked on software update/check for update in the 'About Phone' section of my settings. I've never clicked it before. It said new firmware required. So I let it download the new software. Then it said charge battery before updating, and then it let me choose when to resume the update. I chose 3 hours. So I'm on stock Android 2.3.3. Gingerbread XWKE7 . What will it update to? I'm a bit worried now, is it going to wipe stuff? Everything's working good so I don't 'need' to update, but it would be nice to. Can I cancel the update? Only thing I can see is 'resume update'.
If you are from london uk. I think the OTA(over the air) version is gingerbread 2.3.4. I do not think it is a wipe device firmware but just to be safe, back it up via kies if your phone is not rooted otherwise use titanium backup if your phone is rooted.
Trust me I would go with the update. Some improvements. I wish we could update
For sure it is NO WIPE version.
Thanks guys, it's a relief it didn't wipe anything.
This is what I got. I thought it might also update Android but it hasn't. What benefits can I expect from the updated Gingerbread XWKF3?

Oh look, it's the voluntary forum policeman.
I made a duplicate thread because I wasn't sure which forum to post it in and I panicked a bit last night so needed a fast answer. OK?
I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

Good, at least you're up and running
So, I was approached by someone asking me to take a stab at repairing their phone. They have a Sprint SGS3, and the owner is, well, less than versed in reading through XDA and determining exactly what steps they've taken to modify their phone.
Suffice it to say, I have a bit of a diagnostic challenge on my hands.
Their story is that they rooted and installed a custom ROM on their phone, and has apparently spent the last week or so fighting with their device to return to stock. I've been told that the ROM is stock, and the recovery is also stock. They apparently want to return to stock and take the KitKat OTA, and have nothing to do with rooting. Though, House says, "everybody lies". I'm assuming there's something else I should be looking at to check whether or not they're deliberately omitting a step they took, or perhaps something they didn't realize/forgot they did.
I have yet to get the device in my hands, but when I do, what should I be looking for, exactly? I haven't modified many Samsung phones in the past, mostly just HTC devices, so I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Poking around the forum, I see some mentions of a Flash Counter and ODIN and some other utilities, but I'm not sure what I should really be using to try to fix the phone. I'd also like to maintain the ability to root their ROM in the future if possible, just in case the owner goes back on their root-bashing.
Thanks for reading! If you guys ever need a hand with an HTC device, I'd be more than glad to give you a hand there. :laugh:
If they're on a stock ROM, you could hook it up to Samsung Kies and do a "firmware upgrade and initialization" under the Tools menu. That should restore a completely wiped stock ROM w/ stock recovery, as well.

The bootloader will still read at modified status, and if your acquaintance's phone has Knox on it, I wouldn't try the flash counter reset.

Looks like a new version of TWRP was released for the D851 yesterday afternoon. I installed it using TWRP manager and it is full screen and everything is readable.
I still get 2.7.1.3 when installing recovery via twrp manager

That is odd. It installed 2.8.0.1 for me. Here is a link to it if you want to download it manually.

Nothing below "System Update", that is the last package on the list. Nothing else to scroll to.
This is a Verizon Note 7. Anything else I need to disable?
Type in the name of the file where it says update (search bar).

Nothing.
Apparently 3/4 of those packages just don't exist on my Verizon phone...
I hope that means I'm safe.
Strange. Assume you've scrolled through to find it (alphabetical).

Yep, I've done that.
I'd be tempted to check the two System updates (which I don't have) in your post #5
