Dear good day, I tell them what my S7 edge realize .What do first is to install an official rom from SamMobile Free German origin, then perform the process for rootearlo. When trying to update via OTA me a sign appears: The operating system of your device has been modified without authorization. Try to download software updates using your PC eb smart switch.
Today when connected to the PC with Smart switch tells me that I have an update. but not if it could have problems being Root.
You can upgrade, but you Will lose root

You can't install an OTA if you are rooted.

does your phone get recognized by smart switch when you were rooted
did backup and restore options worked?
i had note 2 running note 4 rom( with buid prop indicating phone model being note 4 sm-n910c) and i had problems with backup and restore where the smartswitch would freeze my pc
now i have a proper note 4 and i was wondering should i root it or not ?
I am curious how Samsung Smart Switch reads sms Sqlite db as apk and transfer to other paired phone. Smart Switch is a regular apk downloadable from Google Play Store or Galaxy store. In phone without rooting, would the code snippets from "android: requesting root access in your app"
// Preform su to get root privledges
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
not work?

I have international LG G2 32gb with original jellybean... no root, no custom recovery.... the kitkat update never came. Whenever i check for system updates i get the message that i already use the latest system os. Tried 2 or 3 hard reset but no luck...
i dont want to update through lg software center because i read somewhere that doing that disables the LG RCT and in download mode the phone status is "rooted" hence you lose your warranty without doing anything wrong. I sent an email to LG Hellas but they do not acknowledge the problem.
Anyone has the same problem? any solutions?
thanks in advance guys!
oh man this happened only to me?
First let's try to find your original device firmware.
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxx
Replace xxx with your imei in the browser.
It give you the latest firmware version and the suffix(some capital letters). The suffix indicates the market region, my for example is from Baltic.
In the browser use " LG g2d80210a_00.kdz 32gb+suffix", 10a is for jg if you can't find a try b.
NOTE: never, never use a 16GBP firmware in a 32GBP device!!!
After you have kdz file, backup important data to a pc!
Flash with LG flash tools with cse option(it will wipe all the device). The phone will boot, skip the setup and make factory reset , boot again and update to kk by ota.
This way it will be full stock with unroot flag!
NOTE 2: the phone only will receive ota updates when there are available for that region (suffix) .

ok i get it, this means that before they sold me the phone they flashed it with european rom... now i have
d80210e-eur-xx
and the suffix i get is ASEABK
the solution is to flash jb for my phone region and then i will get the OTA.
Thanks a lot man!
So ive rooted my N910U running 4.4.4 and now when I go to update I get an error pop up saying my phone has been modified. How do I get around this and update?
That is normal because once rooted, the device looses the ability to update over the air. Also uncheck the auto update box to prevent this message popping. If there is a new firmware, you can simply download it on pc from a repository, flash via odin and reroot.

if you have a rooted or custom recovery, this is normal.
Also its not advisable for flash OTA in a rooted (or custom recovery) phone
Try with Kies?
Just this morning I updated a rooted N900V (Verizon) using Kies version 3. The phone had failed the OTA update twice, but I had no problems at all using Kies.
But root was lost during the update to Lollipop, just so you know.
PS (edit): Before using Kies I didn't get any error messages trying to download OTA, it just failed during install. So maybe your problem is a little more severe . . .
I basically have the same exact problem as this guy from another forum, there's this new update that pops up on my phone but I cannot install it properly.
"Hello all, The latest april update to my International exynos S7 Edge just got pushed and i tried installing it. My phone reboots, goes to the blue screen and shows an android image, and says "Applying Android update..." it gets to about 27% and fails, shows the dead android mascot with the yellow exclamation point, and then the phone reboots normally. And then a pop up appears on home screen saying Update Failed, please visit service center. What should i do to install the update? i've tried 3 times already to apply the update" -kofman13
Download Samsung smart switch to your computer, plug in your phone and update from the program. It should update fine

What he said.
Failing that you can use Odin and Download the firmware and flash.
If the device boots and its rooted you could use Flashfire.
If the device is rooted, you wont be able to install the update via OTA
If you check a couple of my previous posts, i have re-posted a link to a Utility to download the firmware for you
(You are not stuck with slow download speeds from sammy website)
Am in a good mood here is the link, no need to check previous posts

Hey my friend! I have the same problem. S7 Edge Exynos without root. Any solution?

Hey guys,
Tried updating my phone today and it said my system is modified. This was a brand new device when I bought it, in download mode it still says Official and I have never attempted to root the device. I've got Adhell installed but that's as far as I go. What gives? I can't do an official update. Any suggestions?
Edit: Samsung Pay and Secure Folder still both work.
