Hi guys, I tried to root my note 4 a couple of months ago with a one touch root app, I know it was stupid and I usually don't trust stuff like that but I thought I'd have a crack. The root attempt failed and my device kept functioning as normal so I didn't really give it a second thought, until I just realized yesterday that my phone should have updated to Melbourne by now and it hasn't, so I checked the status and sure enough it had been changed to custom. I also noticed that every time I boot into recovery it briefly says that it is updating, then says the update failed before coming up with the usual recovery menu. Is there a simple way to get back to official and get the update without wiping my device? It is not rooted, stock os and stock recovery, thanks for any help, it won't matter too much soon as I have pre ordered a note 7, but it would be nice to sort it out anyway.
since the status is already "custom", why not try root it using CF autoroot?
or if you still not sure, why not flash a stock rom using odin?
Thanks for the reply cacingbesar, I'd like to stay stock and get OTA updates, is it possible to odin flash a stock rom without rooting or wiping my phone and get official status and OTA updates back?

here is the problem : your device status is already CUSTOM.
correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesnt mean that you are using a custom ROM, its your knox that is tripped.
and because of that status, you cant get OTA.
staying with stock ROM is fine, but since knox already tripped and you cant get OTA, why not root it? optimize your phone the way you want.
or go custom ROM if you interested.
again.....correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm not a pro in this matter.

Hi,
I wanted a lower DPI so I rooted (by installing CWM recovery), but now when I try to do OTA updates it says "The device has been modified updates are not available".
Not sure if its the presence of root (su) or the non-stock recovery.
No probs since ill just go to sammobile and grab updates when they come.
just thought id let people know

Is that how other phones behave as well? Or is this specific to GN2? Anyhow this should be sticky or in Wiki I think no?

Yes please try again after doing the temp-unroot and let us know if it worked or not. I know on my Photon 4G I have to temp unroot to install certain things from the market.
You mean just unchecking 'enable superuser' in settings of supersu ???
Still gives the message... im guessing its the CWM custom recovery that it doesnt like ???
the modified status when booted checks for a lot of different things.
It checks for root, recovery, binary counter (download mode), kernel etc
everything has to be perfect so it makes it very hard to fool.
You can always (when we have the odin roms) flash back to a full stock/unrooted rom then accept the OTA update.
I am getting the same message. The only thing I did was root and installed avast! Mobil Security (in root mode).
So, how do we update now ?
Can users who have JUST rootet test it out? I'm not sure if avast! did this or if only the rooting caused the problem.
u cant update rooting breaks OTA wait for odin roms
As far as I know the issue is the custom recovery, not root access. You need to flash back to the Samsung stock recovery.
So what is the quickest way to update your phone once you have rooted it?

Wait for custom ROM with updated base. I'm updated to XXALIH and now going to ROOT! This is my third Samsung device and believe that developers will always find solution to issues.
I've had the same problem. Fixed by flashing the stock recovery.
Hopefully this problem will be solved before the update for multitasking comes out

Alright so I've been at this for hours and I'm starting to get frustrated and tired. I have a I337M Rogers phone I bought off Kijiji second hand and was already unlocked for rogers. I noticed the "Device Status: Custom" today but to my knowledge I'm not sure if it has been rooted or not in the past. Seeing as I had no way of updating OTA or through Kies I decided to try and fix it by rooting through Odin with CF-Auto-Root and then use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter. After that I tried to re-flash the stock rom I downloaded off here. Sadly that didn't change the Device Status back to "Normal". I then re-rooted, did Triangle Away again but instead went into Superuser app and tapped the permanent unroot option. I then through ES File Explorer deleted the Triangle Away app and the super user app. After that I re-flashed the stock rom again.... Still **** all. As of now I am about to smash this phone to bits. All I want to do is get it back to normal stock so I can bring it in for a repair. ANY help is greatly appreciated.
Have you odin'd the stock firmware and then used triangleaway?

It's alright, I realized after all this crap that I could just factory reset within the settings. That worked so now I am downloading the new OTA update it's also confirming "Official" as the status. Can't believe it was that simple haha.

From what I understand, you will still be able to get updates thru OTA.

the recovery "kill" the otas, not the root.
so you have costom recovery you will get the ota but you will be unable to install it, if you use jest a root and have stock recovery - you fine and will get the ota.

I my self do not have a custom recovery. I am just rooted and running stock ROM. I had asked the same question maybe a month ago, and I was told that I would still be able to get OTA updates. If I am wrong, feel free to tell me.

you right.
if you use stock recovery you will get OTAs
if its stock and merely rooted then OTA should work
For the OTA to be accepted, you'll need the stock recovery for your device. Rename it to recovery.img (if it already isn't named that) and then move it to sdcard root (/sdcard).
Now, use a terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en) and open a command prompt. The command we're using has two parameters. The the "if" parameter refers to your input file, in this case, this is the recovery.img file you moved to your sdcard root to flash. This could be any recovery (TWRP, CWM, stock, etc). The "of" parameter is the output file and is the actual physical path to the recovery image your device uses. At the command prompt type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
If you already have the stock recovery then all you need to do is press "Accept" or "OK" or whatever the dialog asks when it pops up letting you know about the update. I'm not sure if the stock recoveries are different for each carrier, so you'll have to find that yourself.
Edit: By the time I finished typing this I see that you already are on stock recovery, so you should be good to go
Idk mines flashed to stock and rooted

Just bought a g2 and am thinking of rooting to enable the auto hide of the on screen menu buttons. So correct me if im wrong but if all i do is root, leave the stock rom and do nothing apart from root i will still get ota updates.
But the update can remove root right? So is there any way I can keep my phone from automatically updating and losing root? I don't want to lose root... Mainly cuz i love not having software keys.

SuperSU Pro has an OTA survival Mode. You can try it out, it should work

Try the above or remove/freeze whatever the apk your carrier uses for the OTA. There's a couple threads around with more info.

Another question: (don't want to start a thread for this)
If you have custom recovery (In my case TWRP) when an OTA lands, obviously I won't be able to accept it.
I'll need to flash it through TWRP correct?
If this is the case will this simply apply as OTA's do and not delete any of my data on the phone etc?
Also is there a stock recovery I can download just to make things easier??
First time I've had a phone rooted and with recoverybefore it's update cycle is over, and Google isn't really being all that helpful
How to backup stock recovery?
I just picked up the G2 two days ago and rooted pretty much immediately (via ioroot10) but other than that, I'm still running completely stock. I saw some recent posts stating that it was now possible to install TWRP or CWM on the D80010o firmware, so I decided I would go ahead and take the OTA update and then install a custom recovery. However, I have tried install the OTA several times now and every time, when the phone reboots after downloading the update, I get error "0x1117008" when the OTA tries to install, and then the phone reboots to system and I get a popup stating something to the effect of "This device is suspected of rooting. Software updates will not be available for rooted devices." Checking the software version I see that I'm still on D80010d and the 10o OTA update is still available and has to be downloaded again.
Anyone else have this issue?
And no, I have not installed a custom recovery yet.

Nice to see you here dude.. may remember me from the rocket? Anyways, i'd just skip the OTA. It's nothing life changing. I'm still stock/rooted on 10d. Waiting for bugs to get squashed on 4.4.2 before I start flashing. Rather enjoying stock for the time being. Not really sure why 10o won't take. Haven't seen anyone else mention this. The only thing that has been brought up repeatedly is bootloops in twrp after taking the 10o OTA.

I am having the same error but don't remember seeing the same pop-up, just says install failed or something like that. I'm on Verizon stock Rom rooted. I've done plenty of mods by manually pushing them through, but I have the stock recovery and no custom recovery.... So safe to say, looks like you can't update with root. Gonna start searching for unroot then re root after update is installed. Doesn't seem like there is another way to do it. Anybody know if the temp unroot via superuser apk will work?

I am still investigating. I've unrooted via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and a little extra housekeeping, and the Rooting Status does show "unrooted" in the About Phone section. However I still get 0x1117008 when trying to install the OTA. So perhaps the "unrooted" in About Phone may be a prerequisite, but is not sufficient for a successful OTA update. Maybe either the update is doing more checks for rooting evidence than the RCT daemon, or perhaps there is some other change that is triggering the error.
Ok, so last OTA worked. Here is what i did:
I used triangle away's feature to hide system modified warning
i downloaded the OTA update
I disabled the triangle away fix before installing OTA (like it says to do in triangle away)
Phone rebooted and installed the OTA in CWM
Done.
I tried this today to upgrade from 4.3 to whatever is being pushed by my carrier (kitkat)
this time, when i install the OTA, it reboots to CWM and CWM says "install untrusted zip?" I hit yes, it says install aborted. I hit no, it says same thing.
I have heard others mention this, and were told to restore a stock recovery. I have found instructions to do that here:
http://www.android.gs/how-to-install-stock-recovery-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9500-i9505/
But i dont have a i9500, i have the canadian model, the i337m
Can i still flash the stock recovery image from an i9500? or will i brick something.
also not understanding why i have to do any of this when it worked last time and nothing has changed....maybe because its jumping from 4.3 to 4.4 ... i dunno..
Any advice appreciated, id love to get this OTA. I just dont want roms anymore, only stock. but i want to stay up to date with my android version, and that is becoming tough for me.
thanks.

Thats exactly because you're upgrading from 4.3 to kk and yeah bootloaders differ probably that's the reason recovery and roms should be flashed if they are specifically for your model i9300 cabt have a rom which is for i9505 it bricks your phone same with recovery and yeah better make a clean flash via odin!
I guess i want to know what to do now. How do i get the Ota? How do i get stock recovery back
These are basic questions that have been anwsered 1000 times already. There is a search button you know.
First of all this is not the i1337m forum.
Second flashing stuff on your phone that is not for you phone is the dumbest thing to do. You should know that before you start messing with your phone.

Ill do just fine without you're attitude, take it elsewhere
I have a Verizon S5 that currently has g900VVRU1B0A8 on it.
Recently the screen has started flashing green and not coming on whrn the power button is pressed.
Im not sure if this is hardware or software so I factory reset it and the issue is still there, maybe not as frequent though.
Do you think it would do any good to upgrade it, can i just odin a new firmware on now, as long as im not going backwards?
If this is a stock factory phone that has never been rooted I would venture a guess that your phone is failing from a hardware standpoint. If it is still under warranty I would replace it before trying any rooting/flashing ... If you want to root it however, DO NOT take the OTA upgrade. That will put you on the latest build but you will not be able to go backwards and root it after taking the update. The version you are currently on can be rooted. And no, you can not just flash a new firmware. If you want to root, you have to follow the steps in the rooting threads and revert back to NCG first to root. Don't flash anything without reading everything thoroughly and understanding what you are doing BEFORE you flash anything.
Oh, its been heavily screwwed with, used to be mine but i gave it to my wife.
Knox is tripped and it says custom on boot.
I took it back to stock when i gave it away....just thinking a updated driver may help.
Been out of the scene for awhile, what are my options?

Just because it says custom on boot doesn't really mean knox is tripped. All my earlier root versions said that without being tripped. Download the Samsung phone info app from the play store. Run that and if knox says 0x0 it is not tripped. It doesn't really matter though if the phone is out of warranty.
