Hey guys,
Is there a way to completely revert my s3 neo gt-i9301i back to stock, and be able to receive samsung's official updates? If I flash back the version I got from sammobile and try to check for updates, it says that my phone's been modified.
...delete...
Well I think triangle away should work but, back when I made this it didn't...

Hi all
today I installed the jellybean 4.3 XXUEMJ5 update but since installing it it has made my device status go fro official to custom
before the update I was not rooted or anything
can anybody help me get it back to official please
There's a way to get your status back to official if you are using a i9505 I think.
Otherwise (i900 or i9505g) I don't think it's possible.
ye I need to get my device back to official
How can it go from CUSTOM? this is an offical STOCK FIRMWARE from samsung.... ? doesn't make sense...
something isn't right.... when i always update my firmware to a newer one for 4.22 it always says offical.
Yes I know it doesnt make sense thats why im asking for help
Have you tried Factory reset or reinstalling the firmware?
Depends how you upgraded. Did you download a Rom and flash via Odin? If yes, are you absolutely sure it was the official and not a modified one?

Probably needs a factory reset. Don't disable any apps and are you using 64gb card?

You need to reinstall the firmware with Odin properly.
I noticed on another thread that you clicked on bootloader button. WRONG. Extract the official Samsung 4.3 firmware file, click on PDA to select the extracted firmware, press start button.
I think you were confused because the leaked firmware had 4 files while official Samsung firmware has I file.
Hi all
Yes I re-flashed the rim using the PDA button and then did a factory reset and every is normal now
Only iv noticed one thing.
The camera as not updated and I thought that jelly bean r.3 included a new camera update.
Something similar happened to me!
Hi!
I've been checking for the 4.3 update on my phone since the announcement that 4.3 update has started. And suddenly yesterday morning I got the message that updates are not available, because my device is custom. Happened overnight, I've only done OTA updates, nothing else and I've had this update for a few weeks at least (maybe even a month), the baseband for the moment is XXUDMH6.
Do you think that it is possible for me to get it back to official in a similar way - flash the same or a newer version, a factory reset and voila?
Are you using a 64GB SD card? Sometimes my phone shows the status as custom, even though it's (currently) totally stock, just because of the SD card.
Take the card out and it goes back to official - strange.
Hey,
I had the same problem on 4.2.2. I had rooted my stock ROM and then updated OTA to MGG and my device status was custom and knox triggered 0x1...I don't really care about device status, but triggering knox really made me mad because I installed fresh rom OTA not some custom ROM ot kernel.. How is this possible? I don't know
Go figure...
Now I flashed with ODIN lastest MJ5 i think and device status is official but what matters knox is 0x1..
I suggest you try factory reset or flash it with ODIN to get back official status so you will be able to update via OTA. There is nothing you can do about knox status for now.
ye well you cannot change the KNOX thing back to OxO
Samsung have already come out and said it is impossible and so have many android developers etc
I wouldn't worry about it anyway its only a KNOX status, I doubt Samsung would refuse to repair your mobile if it needed to be repaired just because of a KNOX status, as long as all the other statuses are OFFICAL etc then it wont matter too much I don't think
Hi,
I have an original Samsung Galaxy S4. It has been updated to original 4.4.2 KitKat. This firmware is very wrong (slow, and battery runs out very soon).
I want to downgrade it to previous 4.3 firmware.
My problem is that Write protection is enabled on the device.
Could you help me how I can disable write protection, flash the 4.3 firmware and restore it to official?
I already downloaded the original 4.3 firmware which is appropriate for my device.
Thanks a lot!

You can't downgrade. Android 4.4.2 have new bootloader and isn't possible take it back to android 4.3 :fingers-crossed:
Thanks a lot!

Today I went to an official Samsung store to tell them about the same, about how bad KitKat has been performing on my phone ever since I got it. I know for a fact that they can downgrade firmwares, but the girl told me that Samsung pulled 4.3 from the system. But I think this was only the one for the unlocked version here in Spain. You might get lucky and they might still have the one that works for your carrier or something.
Try that if you want and let me know if it worked for you... meanwhile I'll live in pain with my 4.4.2 FW.:crying:
I recently rooted my phone and flashed custom kernel, I am afraid that it might prevent OTA updates. I need updates to use Gear VR.
So is there anyway to unroot it or get the stock kernel back ? I didnt backup BTW.
And also, the model number of my phone is G928W8 (Canadian), can I use the firmware of G928T (T-mobile), since they share the same kernel, so I think they can share the same firmware.
The only thing that I concern is the LTE band .
You need to find an firmware for your specific model, try it on Samsung page, then flash it with Odin, this should bring you back to stock, so you can take OTA
I don't know if T-mobile firmware will be compatible with yours, you may risk ant try it on, just have Canadian firmware handy and if something goes wrong put the phone in download mode, flash it with Odin and you are again on stock
Hey all!
So, I've got a Note 3 SM-N9005 but I've got this issue. When I try to update my Kitkat to Lollipop it says "Your device have been modified, Software updates are not available". I did have it rooted around a year ago and when I click 'Status' at the device info screen, it says 'modified', so I guess that's the issue.
Either way, I'd like Lollipop since I've heard it can solve the bad wifi connection issue, but I have no clue on how to install the new firmware safe and sound on my Note 3.
Does someone have any tips for me on where to find the newest stock firmware and how to flash it on my device? Or how to remove the 'Modified' status so I can get the update over the air?
Thanks in advance!
P.s. My Knox isn't void, it still says 0x0
Google ?

Yeah I read a lot already, but most of it is dated back at least a few months. And I thought, since this is an expert forum.
Should I just backup everything (like put everything on my computer and use some software to backup game data + sms data etc.) and use Kies? Or should I use Odin and download stock firmware from Sammobile? I'm really not an expert and I don't want to **** it up and brick my phone.
Have a look in the developer section, there are several different custom ROM you can use, I currently have the Phronesis ROM on my Note3 it's a Lollipop Note5 ROM and it is working very good with all the Note5 features such as screen note on lock screen etc.
hi, backup all to your pc and download stock rom and flash with odin or custom rom, but if you want ota flash stock
Hey guys,
So I've had this DM-Verity issue for ages after I did an OTA update and I'm just fed up of it, is there a way to just flash a custom stock firmware on this or something that will fix it without going back to Samsung since they are being weird about it because it's an India version of the phone and they want me to take it back to india to repair, I just don't have the time and energy to do that plus it's a little illogical and crazy.
Any ideas appreciated.
All I wanna do is have it back to the normal Samsung firmware (updateable) but without this stupid DM Verity issue.
P.s I've never done a custom rom or anything before although I've used Odin to try fix this with official stock firmware with no luck.
Thanks you
