Hey there, a friend of mine has given his sgs3 to the repair center, and after receiving it, he is on 4.1.2 and when he tries to update, gets a message like "you have modified sofrware". How can this be solved?
P.s. Sorry for posting here, but i tried to post in q&a and got a message saying "forum closed".

Sounds like it's rooted. Did your friend send it in that way?

No, he never rooted his phone or flashed custom fw. He was always on stock.
Update: i checked it now and its rooted, but i can confirm that he didn't root it himself. Will unrooting and factory reset fix the update issue?

Thank you for that, that worked. I just flashed it so I could do the mf9 update but now when I go to update it, it says "your device is up to date". What..?

OK so my first g2 got stolen, I filed a claim and the g2 shipped to my already has the KitKat update. I know that there isn't a root method for it yet so my question is can I downgrade using the method in the development then root with the method already known? Or do I have to just wait till a method is found for KitKat?

I've looked at that. It requires you to be on the last firmware and I'm on KitKat.

it has step by step to go back to stock 4.2, root, get recovery and flash like I said currently that is the only way for any device to keep recovery on kk(most devices with official kk and sources have got a specific rom to do so)

Can't flash an OTA or sideload it on a modified system at all. So not sure what you are looking for.

I see it, I guess I have never updated any other way besides your M8 thread and this one. I just thought I could pull the firmware, etc and update it but I don't think it's probably that simple right? Thank you.

If you just want to update firmware you can do that but it won't touch the rom update wise.

Yep, exactly, all I was looking to do. Are you going to be throwing a RUU out on this one? If so I can wait it's no big deal.
