The newer updates come with a new bootloader. You won't be able to downgrade anymore I'm afraid.

Hey People,
i previously rooted my phone on stock firmware along with changing the kernel. I have no restored and removed root back to stock but i get this message when doing a OTA update as i need the latest update to enable 4G on my phone. It says Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available. How do i go about fixing this? I have done some research and used the triangle app to reset the flash counter which now says Official rather then Custom In download mode? If i flash the firmware does it automatically Re flash my Kernel or is that separate? I have looked for the stock i9505 kernel i Just cant seem to find it.
Will appreciate the help
Thanks

flash stock firmware, stock kernel included
It's normal that it says that. Just install Xposed framework, then Wanam Xposed, there is an option to fake the system status as official and thus you'll be able to update firmware OTA.

Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately I can't use Kies since I use Linux and there is no Kies for Linux. May be another solution like adb?

I wiped the data, without success, then I flashed everything again with Heindall 1.4.0, then wiped everything again. Now I have official status and should receive OTA updates.
Edit: but after rooting the official status is lost. Now I think this may be normal.
Hi all
I used to be able to flash official firmware using odin when i wanted a clean install and get ota updates.
Recently i have been getting "your device has been modified" when trying to check for updates.
Download mode. System status and binary "custom"
My network providers firmware is MEA and i have been lucky to avoid the knox issue as i have not odin flashed any firmware beyond MGA.
The only thing i have done recently is install foxhound 2 which is on ML1.
I know i can reset it using triangleaway but obviously i would have to root it.
Is there a reason why the bootloader would still show as custom after an official install?
Just concerned incase i need to send it back for repair thats all.
Many thanks for your help

I was running X Note on 4.3 and decided to upgrade to xnote 8 . I downloaded the official polish 4.4 firmware and followed the instructions and every thing seemed fine, I lost my TWRP recovery so i decided to reinstall my custom recovery. But now i have done that my phone is stuck in a boot loop. What have i done wrong?
I have tried the chain fire method and the Goomanager method but none are working?
My phone is up and running on stock 4.4.2 but i cant install any custom recoverys. What can i do?
Probably using the wrong version of custom recovery. Grab the latest CWM by chenglu (.06 ) or the newest TWRP and you should be OK
I have tried both of the latest Cwm and TWRP and even cf auto but it still won't root my phone

That's bizarre, XEO KK or have you gone to a carriers KK?-- A full wipe/reflash (in theory) should fix it. If not then, Got me stumped. defo using the latest CF-Autoroot for KK yea?

Hi mate
I flashed the the KK firmware from sammobile with the update boot loader ticked. Booted back into the stock rom fine but what ever method i use to flash a custom recovery just fails. When i tried the Goomanager method my phone boot loops and i have to re flash the phone again. I have tried both the latest versions of TWRP and CWM. Never had any problems like this before. When i 1st got the phone i did the chain fire method which takes less than 30 seconds but this also doesn't work know.
I took the phone back to carphone warehouse this morning and they have sent it off for repair. Hopefully ill get a note 3 back running 4.3 and ill wait for the official firmware:good:

More info is needed in order for XDA community to help. Which phone variant do you have i9500 or SGH i337? What firmware are you on? What root process did you use, also what rom did you try to flash?

Ah yes, here:
i) SGH i337m
ii) 4.4.2
iii) CF-AUTO-ROOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800)
iv) Aaaaaaaaaaaaand... multiple Lollipop roms found here and one for the i9505 which rendered the same result (that is - no result, other than having to go through the first time boot setup from Samsung, which happens with all of them)
I had some difficulty finding where the legitimate i337 XDA was, but I think I found the right place (here)
Thanks already, regardless of if we figure it out
Ouch
Bump
Do I have to simply flash a custom recovery?
Well I bricked it since no one would help me. Come on community, I've have 4 year old phone communities that were more helpful. Currently my phone sits there with the big "GALAXY S4" and n the top left, really tiny in 3 different colours it says,
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is no seandroid enforcing
Set Warrany Bit: recover

It sounds like you'll have to use odin and flash the stock firmware and then start the process over again. You should be able to find the firmware at sammobile.com.
Then root using cf
Flash twrp recovery, after root get flashify from the play store and flash the twrp image file in it, http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltecan
Then you can flash roms.

Me too.
I rooted My S4 last year using towel root. Then ,AT&T updated my phone to Baseband NI1,and I lost root. Since then ,every time an AT&T software update message comes in ,I try to let it update ,and it always fails. As of now I am still on 4.4.2 NI1 and no root. Is there any way to re gain root access?

You'll need to flash the nc1 module in Odin, then root with towelroot. See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227

Are you still having issues or were you able to flash a custom ROM of your choice?
Hello, I have a Galaxy s5 SM-G900H , It was running on lollipop, then I downgraded it to kitkat by flashing the firmware via Odin, works like a charm
But when I wanted to root(Which I reaaaally need to) my phone gets stuck at boot, accessing recovery is impossible for some reason, the only solution was to flash back the kitkat stock, and again...rooting bricks it over and over again
PS: no errors shown in Odin
A little help would be really appreciated
Thank you for your time, I'm looking forward for your replies
Have a nice day
Use Towelroot
Might need to downgrade the Kernel to a pre-June 2014 KK Kernel first if the ROM is newer than that
you might be flashing cf root for lollipop... you need to flash root that supports kitkat.
Factory reset go back to kk and try afain
