Hi,
I wanted a lower DPI so I rooted (by installing CWM recovery), but now when I try to do OTA updates it says "The device has been modified updates are not available".
Not sure if its the presence of root (su) or the non-stock recovery.
No probs since ill just go to sammobile and grab updates when they come.
just thought id let people know

Is that how other phones behave as well? Or is this specific to GN2? Anyhow this should be sticky or in Wiki I think no?
i thought the new superuser gives you option of tempory un root cant you do that then check for update

I think is in SuperSU
Yes please try again after doing the temp-unroot and let us know if it worked or not. I know on my Photon 4G I have to temp unroot to install certain things from the market.
You mean just unchecking 'enable superuser' in settings of supersu ???
Still gives the message... im guessing its the CWM custom recovery that it doesnt like ???
the modified status when booted checks for a lot of different things.
It checks for root, recovery, binary counter (download mode), kernel etc
everything has to be perfect so it makes it very hard to fool.
You can always (when we have the odin roms) flash back to a full stock/unrooted rom then accept the OTA update.
I am getting the same message. The only thing I did was root and installed avast! Mobil Security (in root mode).
So, how do we update now ?
Can users who have JUST rootet test it out? I'm not sure if avast! did this or if only the rooting caused the problem.
u cant update rooting breaks OTA wait for odin roms
As far as I know the issue is the custom recovery, not root access. You need to flash back to the Samsung stock recovery.
So what is the quickest way to update your phone once you have rooted it?

Wait for custom ROM with updated base. I'm updated to XXALIH and now going to ROOT! This is my third Samsung device and believe that developers will always find solution to issues.
I've had the same problem. Fixed by flashing the stock recovery.
Hopefully this problem will be solved before the update for multitasking comes out

the recovery "kill" the otas, not the root.
so you have costom recovery you will get the ota but you will be unable to install it, if you use jest a root and have stock recovery - you fine and will get the ota.

you right.
if you use stock recovery you will get OTAs
if its stock and merely rooted then OTA should work
For the OTA to be accepted, you'll need the stock recovery for your device. Rename it to recovery.img (if it already isn't named that) and then move it to sdcard root (/sdcard).
Now, use a terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en) and open a command prompt. The command we're using has two parameters. The the "if" parameter refers to your input file, in this case, this is the recovery.img file you moved to your sdcard root to flash. This could be any recovery (TWRP, CWM, stock, etc). The "of" parameter is the output file and is the actual physical path to the recovery image your device uses. At the command prompt type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
If you already have the stock recovery then all you need to do is press "Accept" or "OK" or whatever the dialog asks when it pops up letting you know about the update. I'm not sure if the stock recoveries are different for each carrier, so you'll have to find that yourself.
Edit: By the time I finished typing this I see that you already are on stock recovery, so you should be good to go
Idk mines flashed to stock and rooted

Just bought a g2 and am thinking of rooting to enable the auto hide of the on screen menu buttons. So correct me if im wrong but if all i do is root, leave the stock rom and do nothing apart from root i will still get ota updates.
But the update can remove root right? So is there any way I can keep my phone from automatically updating and losing root? I don't want to lose root... Mainly cuz i love not having software keys.

Try the above or remove/freeze whatever the apk your carrier uses for the OTA. There's a couple threads around with more info.

Another question: (don't want to start a thread for this)
If you have custom recovery (In my case TWRP) when an OTA lands, obviously I won't be able to accept it.
I'll need to flash it through TWRP correct?
If this is the case will this simply apply as OTA's do and not delete any of my data on the phone etc?
Also is there a stock recovery I can download just to make things easier??
First time I've had a phone rooted and with recoverybefore it's update cycle is over, and Google isn't really being all that helpful
How to backup stock recovery?
I just picked up the G2 two days ago and rooted pretty much immediately (via ioroot10) but other than that, I'm still running completely stock. I saw some recent posts stating that it was now possible to install TWRP or CWM on the D80010o firmware, so I decided I would go ahead and take the OTA update and then install a custom recovery. However, I have tried install the OTA several times now and every time, when the phone reboots after downloading the update, I get error "0x1117008" when the OTA tries to install, and then the phone reboots to system and I get a popup stating something to the effect of "This device is suspected of rooting. Software updates will not be available for rooted devices." Checking the software version I see that I'm still on D80010d and the 10o OTA update is still available and has to be downloaded again.
Anyone else have this issue?
And no, I have not installed a custom recovery yet.

Nice to see you here dude.. may remember me from the rocket? Anyways, i'd just skip the OTA. It's nothing life changing. I'm still stock/rooted on 10d. Waiting for bugs to get squashed on 4.4.2 before I start flashing. Rather enjoying stock for the time being. Not really sure why 10o won't take. Haven't seen anyone else mention this. The only thing that has been brought up repeatedly is bootloops in twrp after taking the 10o OTA.

I am having the same error but don't remember seeing the same pop-up, just says install failed or something like that. I'm on Verizon stock Rom rooted. I've done plenty of mods by manually pushing them through, but I have the stock recovery and no custom recovery.... So safe to say, looks like you can't update with root. Gonna start searching for unroot then re root after update is installed. Doesn't seem like there is another way to do it. Anybody know if the temp unroot via superuser apk will work?

I am still investigating. I've unrooted via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and a little extra housekeeping, and the Rooting Status does show "unrooted" in the About Phone section. However I still get 0x1117008 when trying to install the OTA. So perhaps the "unrooted" in About Phone may be a prerequisite, but is not sufficient for a successful OTA update. Maybe either the update is doing more checks for rooting evidence than the RCT daemon, or perhaps there is some other change that is triggering the error.
Hey all. I have a rooted D800 (AT&T variant) with stock recovery and on firmware version D80010q. I am trying to update to the KitKat, but It's giving me an error every time I download and try to update. The error is: Err: 0x1111004. When the phone reboots, it says "This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device".
I have tried using OTA rootkeeper to temporarily unroot, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any way for me to get the update without having to flash back to stock?
This is my problem too. Hopefully there is a way.

Let us know if you went back to stock then did the update and it worked.
I've read that some people kept root through their OTA. Why are some people able to update and others aren't. I've been reading up on this for the VZW update whenever that happens. I hope I haven't kept all this bloatware on my phone for no reason!!

I reverted back to stock using the instructions in the Stickied post. I was then able to update to D80010o. I had to call to request a rep to push out the D80010q update again though. They're calling it a "security update" so you should use that phrase when talking to the rep so that they don't get confused and think that you're just requesting that they push out the KitKat update.
Once I got the D80010q update, the KitKat update was available and I was able to update. Unfortunately, I didn't try to root it prior to updating - though to be honest, I don't really feel the need to root anymore. Only reason I had it rooted before was to get the multitasking button, but I'm okay with using an S3 layout (Menu, Home, Back) since that's the phone I'm coming from.
I have posted this in Other thread too.. may be this helps (Or save some time)
1.What ever the phone came with (never saw the version)
2. Rooted: Then just froze the apps I don't need (DID NOT DELETE) NO Exposed Or anything fancy. PURE STOCK just at&T bloat froze.
3. Then the Silent update came... I guess it was 10q (few weeks back), It was fine... ROOT remained.
4. Kitkat update came..
5. I de-froze all the apps before the update..
6. Tried to installed KITKAT after download... (After 1 of 2) it says Err: 0x111004
Once booted it said this update is not for rooted device. (or something similar)
7. I thought may be it recognized SuperSU/Super USer so I Uninstalled (Removed complete ROOT through the app) Download again the Kitkat.. Same ERROR And SAME message. I went it Recovery (Button combo) to complete wipe (Noticed RED Rooted below on the screen on Recovery) did the complete wipe and Still No Luck.
8. Go back to Complete stock through flash method as I realized ROOTED written on recovery so no wipe will help that...
9. chat with AT&T asked them to push 10q the silent updated.
10. once it was done I asked her if she can push Kitkat too.. she did.
The only thing was lost all the data in the process.. But I kept my pic's Auto backup through g+ so they are safe.. rest everything I lost which I don't care anyway. (Chat etc)
SO the BOTTOM LINE IS... If you see ROOTED on your stock recovery NO matter what you do... It will not update. If you dont see it.. then your are fine I Guess ("I guess" is the keyword)
Edit:
Also I'm not sure if there are 2 versions of root methods... So if anyone has Root and was able to update to kitkat.. Can you link which Root method you guys used.. Thanks in advance.

Same thing happened to me. I followed your advice in the other thread and did a reset using the LG flash tool, following rootjunky's guide on youtube and using the files from his website. Everything went smoothly except for at the end I got the same check flag error thing, but it completed the reset perfectly.
I then chatted with ATT and had him push the update to my phone which brought me up to d80010o. It finally went through the update and didn't get me the root error. So I think I'm in the green now. He said that he didn't have an option to push the kit kat update to my phone but it told him to have me do it through the software update in the settings. Which I tried and it said it was up to date. But he said that since they roll out in batches my phone might just not be ready for it yet. I will keep trying though and I'm one step further than I was before. At least it let me update. Shout out to ATT though, chat service is on point.

You can't install the update if you've rooted, it checks if a flag has been tripped which is as part of rooting.
The flag is said to be perma so even factory resetting/re-flashing you can't OTA anymore.
If you have not rooted yet and install this you can root after but you won't be able to take any future updates.
Hopefully someone comes out with way to reset the flag or root without tripping.

I believe that only the download process is blocked and not the flashing. If we can get the OTA download file we should be able to flash it onto a un-rooted stock phone that once was rooted.
I was rooted, then I went back to stock via Odin tar. I received and installed the OTA this morning.

Do you have to wipe your phone or whats the process?
Also, I thought simply rooting kept stock recovery...isnt that what the OTA looks for?
Hoping this first update would fix the lag on the phone. S4 suffered the same when it first came out. Pretty bad when it has higher clock speed than the M8 but is the slower device. Something just isn't right.

No need to wipe. I flashed the Stock Tar in Odin, then make sure your phone shows as Official in Download mode, if it does, you will be able to receive the OTA. If it still shows as Custom then you are doing something wrong, which I was at first, I left my extsd card in. Once I took it out and flash the Stock Tar in Odin, everything was official and I received the OTA and updated my phone, and then re-rooted. Now I am rooted with software version ND2.

Here ya go fellas.
1. DL this stock NCB tar.
2. Take out your EXT SD Card (if you have one).
3. Flash the stock NCB tar (put it in "PDA" in Odin).
4. Do a factory reset in the stock recovery after you flash the tar (not necessary but deff won't kill ya!).
5. Reboot, check for the OTA and wait for it to complete.
6. Re-root.
7. GOOD TO GO!
You arent gonna catch me doing a factory reset, hahaha. Not unless I absolutely have to. Might try this later today or this weekend tho.
Will someone come up with a pre rooted flashable zip file of ND2? I really don't want to go through odin if I don't need to.

I can't say this for sure since I don't have the S5 but if you are stock, meaning odexed and no stock files deleted/changed, with root you should be able to ota and retain root using supersu pro survival mode. I've done it many times on the s4 and a couple of times on note 3. I have also done it with xposed/wanam. Lately it would fail to ota with xposed/wanam. It would error patching some of the system files. Get the filename and location. Navigate there and restore the backup version of the files (delete current file and rename Bak file).

Hello, so basically I've rooted my phone. The root test says the phone is rooted, but some apps that require root don't work (some do). I found out it could be caused by half root. I was not satisfied with it, so I tried to remove the Kingroot app along with the root, but the app reports an error every time. However, the Kingroot app has become "untouchable". It transformed into system app and I can't delete it, because the half root doesn't allow me to do that. I can't even manually delete the su files in root. How can I solve this? I don't have an unlocked bootloader, and I don't even want to, if the situation will allow it. I just want to go back to unroot status (realised it was a mistake trusting in one click root ).
The only "safe" way to remove kingroot it's to flash again stock firmware.
I did 3 times, just download full firmware, same version as you already have, then do a local update.
Hello there...
I suffered form this thing and i factory restored my phone but everytime I do Kingroot stills there.
I tried to install stock firmware but it says installation failed.(I downloaded stock firmware from Huawei's website)

Thank you very much for the reply! I don't really mind having my phone half-rooted, adblock still works, so it isn't a problem, but I suffer from the fact that it's not "complete" (some kind of "perfectionism" lol). I will find out more about flashing the original firmware. I'm afraid I will need to unlock the bootloader, am I right?
