Hi! So I'm rooted and I want to update my phone but when I try to do it, it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." So I reset my flash counter using Triangle Away and now it says 'official' and 'O' but still that modified blah blah is still appearing. How do you solve this?

Hi,
So today as i was installing the exposed module i managed to soft brick my phone. I am really new to android as its my first decent phone, I used to own an apple device and through out the time i learnt to mod it in lots of way so i thought this may be simple too. Now I complete panic state. I bought an S4 GT-I9505 and after installing an exposed module my device wouldnt boot. So then i tried reflashing the firmware with odin but because that didnt work i went to cyanogen-mod and stated messing about and ended up installing this driver into my s4 (see image attached). Now my phone isnt even recognised be odin, i am so scared and so nervous. Would somebody please just be able to help me and tell my what i should do?
I want to learn the android system but this is just really freaking me out... I would be EXTREMELY grateful if someone could just tell me what to do to just be able to boot my phone up again

Hello geeks, pls how can I fix my Samsung s4 imei number? Anytime I try to read with nv items reader/writer it shows phone does not answer... Pls can someone help?! Bellow is a shot from my PC screen.
Hi,
You'll need to provide more details. That tool is only good if you've made a backup of your efs folder beforehand.
Details of how you got in this situation will help me point you to a relevant thread if I can find one.
Thanks!

Well you can ask here.... Though there are other sections based on carrier version, but mention your model number here...

Probably flashing stock firmware with Odin is step one. Step 2 is likely a service center for repair. But perhaps the guys who own your device will have other ideas.
Good luck!

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. A quick search allowed me to find your device forum here:

And a little more searching found a great q&a thread for your device here:

I'd suggest you go and ask your question there, that way the S4 experts can help you out.
Good luck!

Well I have a Samsung Galaxy s4, I've rooted it since I've got it, however I cannot afford to OTA update my phone since it's been rooted. But now I've unrooted it via "SuperSU one click unroot" but it still gives me that message "your device has been modified, you cannot update your software" although I am unrooted. But maybe it's still there? I don't know. So afterwards I came to a near by Samsung Help Center, but they said that I'm pretty much doomed (that I can no longer update my software anymore) although I believe that there's still another way to update my s4. But I don't know how, I've tried reading other people's solutions, however I'm doubting that I'll never get it since it's not that clear. So please tell me that there's still another way to update my software via "not OTA" but can still update my s4 to the latest os. If yes, then how?
