Looks like updates have been blocked for rooted Note 8.0 devices. I get a message when I check for software updates under the about section in settings.

Is there a new update beside the one pushed a week or so ago?

Unrooting using Framaroot, or use OTA Rootkeeper. Either way works, but be sure to reboot after unrooting. Otherwise you will just get the same error message about the system being modified. Also, if there any any bloat apps frozen or uninstalled, you will have to undo that (in addition to unroot) for the system to come up as not being modified.
This is a rather stupid move on Samsung's part.

Kies will still work for the update though, even modified, at least for me. I did however set Kies up with it stock & then selected the "Auto download updates" feature in Tools / firmware upgrade settings, so if there is an update, whenever I plug the N8 into my laptop, it tells me an update is available & then gives me the option to install it now or wait.
Even stranger though is that even modified, I can select to reprovision & install factory firmware (Upgrade & Initialization) on the Note 8, but now on the Note 10.1 once it says "modified" status, you lose the ability to provision & reset with Kies & you get the "N8013 does not support initialization" error, even though both are now running the MD3 firmware. Go figure.
Framaroot from the play store works to temporary unroot for purposes of updates. Just install it abd choose the option to temporarily unroot, then reboot and check for updates. It will download and install the update. I recommend another reboot when its finished. Then load up framaroot and restore root. All in all with a fast internet connection the whole process may take 10 minutes.

I tried using Framaroot to unroot my rooted N5100. I then checked for updates and it told me that they are not available to modified devices. I then even tried uninstalling everything and doing a factory reset and im still not able to check for updates. Any idea how to get my device back to the way it was out the box so i can check for updates?

Can you just hide root using Chainfire SuperSU?
I have never used it before, will try and find out

No. The new boot loader checks the system partition for changes. So if you even have the SU binary or any other modified or new files in the System folder or any subfolder, it will not work for updates.
On other devices, like the Note 10.1, you have to revert to an older boot.img to be able to keep the status as unchanged. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist for the Note 8 as far as I know.
I have modified my multiwindow to work with all apps. When I used rootkeeper I was still able to update so I giess it works with some mods but not all.

I bought my Note 8 on June 11th and it received an immediate update. I rooted with Framaroot and a few days later I received another OTA update. But now, after that, it says it can't update and I can't get it to unroot...
Why do I keep getting this odd pop-up?
(I only install fully legit applications from the paystore that Ive paid).

If your rooted use tbu to disable know related apps
Worked for me
It usually has to do with apps and root access but I'm seeing some saying that they have the same issue stock unrooted

Hey Guys,
I've recently rooted and installed Cyanogenmod on my S4, thinking that once I have 4.3 on there, I could now use my Samsung Smart Watch.
I managed to find a Galaxy Gear .apk and installed that. When it runs and tries to connect to the watch, it fails every time. I was going to try and install Samsung Apps, then download Galaxy Gear from there and try again. But the only one I could find was from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277473
And that APK won't install using APK Installer. (Just says: "X App not installed.")
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with the S4 and the Samsung Smart Watch. Or knows of a different way to do this. I'd love some help.
Thank you
The Samsung Watch is most likely not going to work with cm since the watch and its software is propriety. You will need to use a stock Rom base 4.3.

I thought I read people were getting it to work once they had a rom with 4.3.
That's a bit disappointing. Thanks though.
The most recent Adfree update causes Playstore to say "No Internet Connection" So I did a nandroid restore and tried AdBlocker Plus and got the same thing. What is going on?

Search for adaway online. Ad free stopped working on 4.4 for me. Ad away does everything adfree does and more. You have to download adaway online, since it isn't on the play store.
You can also find it on f-droid website

I recently rooted my note 3 with the towelroot method and installed exposed framework and just a couple of modules. Today I went to use my pen and it made its noise coming out and brought up the menu on the screen but we'll not do anything beyond that. I've checked all the setting and they seem to be correct and none of the modules I've unstapled has anything to do with the pen that I know of. Anybody have any suggestions. Could it have been the root process or just me over looking something. Thanks for any help. Jesse

What do you mean by "modules I've unstapled"? Uninstalled? If the pen worked fine before rooting, then I'd go back to stock and start over again step by step. Stock - check, root - check, module uninstall - check...
uninstalled is what I meant. I ended up factory resetting and going through the root process first before reloading all the apps and it's working as it should now. Not sure what caused it and don't really care now that it's working again. Thanks anyway and I will try to work on my spelling some. Jesse
