As 123hiten said, flash back to stock and build up. That's super strange though. I was able to flash back from 4.3 back to 4.2 no problem.

Noted.. downloading the stock firmware now to try

[Q] Your device has been modified..

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?

Thank you!
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.

Just wait until the right 4.4.2 ROM is available in your Country and flash it with Odin. Make sure you got the samsung driver installed! In Odin just check F.TIME RESET and AUTO REBOOT and choose in PDA your downloaded ROM.
(Maybe after that you have to make a "factory" reset under the settings in your Note3
My god!
My last phone was Sony Xperia S, and to do a clean install all i have to do is to say to the software update that i want a clean install...
I am a litle scare right now... dont know what is odin...
Just wait for ota to arrive, install it and afterwards go to settings, general, back-up and restore and do a factory data reset. Make sure you have a backup of things you need afterwards.

If you scared I recommend you that you don't do it. It's possible to hard brick your phone.
Also you have to check bootloader update in Odin, otherwise your phone gets a bootloop.
Don't try this if you not know what you are doing!!!
Also you can't step back to an earlier rom if you flash the the official 4.4.2 version cause bootloader is locked and atm there are no solutions for that.

Yip if you are scared to do it. Don't. You need to read up and read some more. Playing with firmwares is tricky and you can ruin your phone.

Just download the 4.4.2 the Official from Poland,Do a Factory Reset /wipeDATA/Cache
Then go to Download mode, open ODIN 3.07 and start.

If you flash XEO Official version, your data stays intact and nothing gets lost. -- IF you have a Hong Kong variant don't flash this at all.
EDIT:: You seem very very unsure, I'd advise you don't do it. Because you will be straight back here if you mess up.

[Q] Help with installing Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery

Hi guys
Really struggling to find the Stock Kernel for my Note 3 and how to flash.
From what i've read on other forums, everyone seems to say you just flash stock ROM via Odin however this has proven not to be the case when i have flashed.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

so what your saying is that you tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN and the kernel did not revert back to stock kernel ?

Yes that's exactly right. to check if it was a one off i'm currently flashing stock ROM again via Odin as we speak.
it should work that way but if it still doesn't work, go into recovery and WIPE all and then reflash Stock.. that should work

are you using Stock ROM?, if yes, flash the ROM again using Odin, no need to wipe anything, and nothing will be wiped, and you will get your phone app back.
if you're using a custom ROM, reboot into Recovery and flash the ROM then wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reboot.
download the stock ROM from sammobile.com or samsung-firmware.org, or samsung-updates.com
