This will not come unless and until u flash any thing Custom
Have u installed any Recovery / Flashed any modified Firmware etc ?
However incase u wanna go back to stock u can just flash a stock firmware using ODIN and it will become Official again
Hope this helps

I cant say exactly why there are some other people also reported the same in last few days technically it will happn only with something custom
Or may be some error in / some apps which forces the system to think its Modified

Yes correct they may not know if it was rooted or not but "Guess It"
However they rely on Binary count mostly which is "hidded in i9500' and Zero should not be a problem at all

yaa even they also............!!
imei cannot be restored by reinstalling stock firmwares... or any other firmwares for that matter.. u should have made a backup of your efs partition before doing any thing to your phone
there is a method to create a new efs partition with your original imei
search the forum u'll find it
Oh yeah... Sorry for the wrong information man... I got a little confused..... I think you'll find a fix in this thread - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888193

hmmm...... this isn't a 100% working method...... but if you want you can try this.... it's just an idea .... but can work-
Following steps can help you:-
Flash Stock eclair i5801DDJ6 (It's under Asia firmwares) from Sam firmware. [This is the original firmware that our phone came with] here's the link - http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm - you'll have to signup to download the firmware.....
the password for the zip file is Password is samsung-firmwares.com
if the imei still hasn't restored then..... disable usb debugging on the phone(if it is enabled that is) and update to froyo through kies.....
If still the problem persists....just take your phone to the samsung service station with the bill and all...... cook up a story and make an innocent face and they'll repair your phone for free! .........
btw if your wondering updating through kies unroots the phone completely so your warranty will still stand as the service centre people most probably won't be able to detect that you rooted or anything!!

Have u rooted? After the update
Possibly camera apk would be having some issue
We can try replacing camera apk only if rooted
or
If possible flash stock firmware using odin it won't affect ur warranty also
And u can get the firmware link from my signature
I also suggest pls post such thing in Q & A u l. Have more replies rather creating a new thread

[Q] Reseting Binary Counter (I9500)

What up guys, so was thinking of finally rooting my phone and flashing all these beautiful roms, but my problem is that we can not reset the binary counter using ...or thats what i know. All I know is that triangle away isn't yet supported for the I9500 model and so my question is..does anyone know if there is an actual way to reset it or if anyone knows when Chainfire will release the compatible update.
Thanks
Stay Cool.

No. there is no way till now to reset the binary counter
You can flash a pre rooted ROM via ODIn and it would not increase the counter and you would also have root

I guess you are wrong Buddy. You are talking about Device Status. We are talking about BInary Counter. There is No Way you can see the binary counter in I9500.

Well "dear" thats the status not the counter, the counter is when you install any not samsung recovery like cwm and install roms and stuff from there which will make the counter increase each time...

Due. You are confused. There are 2 things Device Status ( what you are talking about ) and Binary Counter ( what i am talking about )
What You are Saying that Is in regards to Device Status and Not Binary Counter,
Please Read through XDa to understand the Difference between the 2
And i am happy being a Human then a "Dear"

[Q] Want to remove super user and set device status offical

Well friends....this is my 1st post sorry in advance if there is some mistake
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9500 and I rooted it with kingoapp retaining warranty bit 0. After that I got a update (mk9) so with wanam xposed I used fake status and updated through ota.
After that root was removed but su app was not removed
I just want to remove the superuser app and the most important thing is there any way to make the device status as OFFICIAL if possible. That would help me a lot...thanks in advance
1. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
*EDIT: Use it by your own responsibility -> Take a look this page for more info

Use a thing called ktool. Back up your efs. Transfer both of your back ups. And name them different things so you can tell the difference of your current back up and the one the ROM backed up. And use it to restore the one your ROM backed up then

Hello,
Once your bootloader is updated you can't downgrade it. A major-version baseband requires the updated bootloader.
Look here.
I read that after u flash back stock kitkat u have to flash the lollipop modem as well but in AP.and u`ll be good
