I have rooted my T805 tab and I am running stock firmware but when I try to update it on Lollipop it says that I am running modified system. I Know that there is triangle away app but I don't if it will work? What should I do and is my only option unrooting and factory reseting? I don't want to lose my data.

You have root so no longer eligible for updates. You can try unrooting by using the unroot option in the Supersu app or update via Odin.
How to update via Odin? Will I lose my data if I update via Odin? My tab says to try via Kies on PC?

Kies is another option, personally I prefer Odin. You won't lose your data with either methods.
Why prefer Odin when Kies is official and probably easier?

Easier? Lol I don't think so. For a start it takes ages and it can bomb out at any time.
At least there are fast mirrors out there for flashing files manually with Odin.
Are you sure that I won't lose any data if I flash Lollipop over rooted 4.4.2 with Odin?
I assure you, you're safe.
If you're that worried make a backup first with recovery.
Ok, thank you!

I am using a samsung galaxy s3 rooted. I noticed about a week ago that it said I was not rooted. So when I try to unroot Odin tells me Fail.
Can anyone help me, i would like to start from the very beginning.
any help?
Simply Put, easiest way to unroot is flash Current Firmware via Odin.
You're probably trying to flash older firmware, flash latest firmware as stated by Perseus71

The easiest way:
1 supplied with android-Market "SuperSU"
2 go to the settings the program's
3 to find the item "the totally remove Root"

Hello
I have a Tab 10.1 Wifi that I rooted with Odin. I want to update to the newest FW, and I downloaded it on Sammobile. I know I have to use Odin to update it, but will I lose root?
If I do lose root, do I use the same method to re-root?
Also, now that I am rooted, what would happen it I tried to update the FW with Kies?
Thanks for the info

Some answers : yes, you will lose root when you use Odin. Yes, you can use the same method to re-root. I don't use Kies, so I don't know the answer there.

Using Kies was the only way I was able to update the firmware to the previous large update (the one prior to the Kids Mode update). I couldn't update using OTA, as I was getting the "Your device has changed. No updates available." message. So I read somewhere to try updating with Kies.
Once I updated using Kies, the update was successful, but I did lose root access as expected. I'm pretty sure I can root it again, as I haven't seen any posts to the contrary, but I haven't rooted it yet.
Thanks for the replies!
Does Towel Root, the 1 click root work?
Is there a way to save your root, update and re-apply root?
Thanks
I have. 10.1 wifi. Recently updated using Kies. Lost root, and was able to root again using the same root method I previously used. I tried towelroot, but could not get it to work.
NOTE: I and several others have reported random reboots since this upgrade (that added kid mode). I am on the US.

my phone is 4.1.1 and i want to update to 4.3 or 4.4, whatever is currently out.
software update doesnt work in the About Device screen. I click it and nothing happens. at all, as if i ne ver touched it.
I tried using this guide http://www.xda-root.com/2014/07/download-install-android-4.4.4-kitkat-update-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747.html
Requires using ODIN and i did try it but ODIN will NOT recognize my phone at all when i plug it via usb cable, no matter what port i use. non-odin wise my pc can always read it.
What am i doing wrong?
I did have a superuser "root" in the past. when the software update didnt work, i uninstalled that and tried the guide again to no avail. do i need to reroot for odin to work, if so, whats the easiest way to root now? is there another option for me to update easily without messing up my phone?
thanks!
You need to be running a completely stock unrooted ATT 4.1.1 ROM with a stock recovery for OTA updates to work.
You're in download mode when connecting to Odin? You've installed the necessary Samsung USB drivers?
This is the recovery flashable stock
https://mega.co.nz/#!NpxzBI5J!PIMgiCZXFPiN0Y1n3f4a7UL9hqT2MW44VCt6zipu5PA
I got it some where here on XDA
After this you will be totally stock 4.1.1
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
The simplest method may be to flash back to completely stock using the ATT 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com using Odin 3.07.

will flashing back to stock wipe my stuff?
thanks!
btw, arent i arleady on stock 4.11?
Did your phone take the OTA update?
Yes, flashing back to stock via Odin will wipe out your files which means you should copy the files to your computer or external SD card.
Hi!
I have Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) running on stock 4.1.2 ROM and I want to update it to stock 4.4 ROM. Is it possible to update directly from 4.1 to 4.4 using Odin? Or maybe I should update it to 4.3 and then to 4.4? Which version of Odin should I use? 3.09 would be ok?
Any tips or things that I should be careful of?

Method 1st: (ideally u shud use this method)
If you are not rooted, you should use phone software update to upgrade to 4.4.2.
If you are rooted, you will have to use triangleaway to reset flash counter and use supersu to fully unroot. Then upgrade using software update in phone.
Method 2nd:
3.09 is best Odin version to use. Just download the stock rom, dump it in AP tab and flash. Done.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

I'm not rooted and running stock 4.1.2 but somehow OTA update in phone does not work. I'm pressing to check for updates and nothing happens at all (tried many times, restarting phone etc). So I want to do it using Odin. OK Odin v3.09 but what about version? Do I need to flash 4.3 first and then 4.4? Or can I flash 4.4 at once?

No need to flash 4.3.
First things first. Just make EFS backup using Dr.Ketan's Multitool. Transfer it to PC or cloud for safe keeping.
To upgrade you have 2 options:
1. PC ODIN 3.09 --> Download 4.4.2 firmware for your region from sammobile or samsung-updates and flash with Odin as explained earlier.
Note that you cannot downgrade the 4.4.2 bootloader, ever.
2. Mobile ODIN PRO --> To use this you need to be rooted. Once rooted download the apk file from play store and flash your 4.4.2 firmware. This will keep the bootloader as it is but will flash everything else.
Note: You won't be able to charge the battery when the phone is off. And you may face wifi problem due to old bootloader. If you face these problems, you have no choice but to use pc odin.

I have S4 with MDL bootloader, was running GE based roms...and now want to restore it to STOCK and upgrade to latest firmware. Giving it away to my father so want to make completely stock with ability to receive OTAs .
Last night flashed via Oden stock 4.2.2 (MDL) rom, modem, and restored counter to (0). Tried to upgrade from the phone to the latest firmware, but getting the error (Processing Failed). Installed Kies 2.x.x and it would not recognized the device. Please Help to install latest stock 4.4.4 rom with (0) counter
Is the error when it tries to update or when checking for updates?
when checking for updates from the phone it self, but Kies also fails to connect to the phone.
You may want to try again later. Also does your computer recognize it at all?

What about bootloader? and setting the counter to 0? 4.3 will flash new bootloader with KNOX and then I'll never be able to restore to 100% stock, or I'm wrong?!
For your phone to be stock right now it would have to be on NK2 firmware. Nothing wrong with that.
Knox only matters for the first 12 months, after that it's your phone not Samsung's.

As long as you don't root it or modify it in anyway, you'll always be 100 percent stock

If I flash latest firmware via Odin, will it get OTAs in the future?
Not if your rooted /custom recovery and debloated, as you remove all the T-Mobile and Samsung bloat you will not get any ota updates, ( I haven't in16 months ) . I run stock /debloated /rooted.
You can run stock rooted or find a stable custom rom to use.

Fixed it.
Re flashed the firmware via Odin again, cleared cache and data before first boot and thats fixed it!
