I've acquired a note 10.1 (GT-N8010) on 4.1.2 and when I try to do software update is says "your device has been modified"
I'm guessing that it's been rooted but it's not rooted now. Can i get this to update at all?
TIA

If you are trying to do the update via OTA, this might be your problem. Hook it up to your pc and use Kies and it should update it up to lollipop 5.1.1 for you. If this doesn't work, you might do a search on here on how to download the firmware and use an app called Odin to manually update it.

Howdy. I've got a Relay that I'm using on T-Mobile, which got upgraded OTA to Android v4.1.2 . But I have another, seemingly identical Relay that used to be on T-Mobile but doesn't have a SIM that is stuck on 4.0.4 . I use it for non-phone functions over Wifi. Using the phone settings it refuses to upgrade, saying "The device is up to date." I tried using a Windows machine with Samsung Kies installed (and upgraded), but Kies says "your device current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".
I'm not really interested in rooting the phone at this point. I just want to upgrade to Android v4.1.2 so I can have the same apps on both stock phones. Any ideas?

Has the phone been previously rooted or modified? Usually that's why Kies would refuse to upgrade one.
In any case you can manually update it. The files are sprinkled around in the forum.

The phone hasn't been previously rooted or modified.
Where can I find the instructions and files to manually update it?

It's got no SIM, but it is on Wifi, and About device > Software update is what says "The device is up to date".

samfirmware and odin are apps for installing a firmware from a desktop? I don't have to root the phone or anything? I can find a stock 4.1.2 firmware for the Relay?

www.samfirmware.com is a place you can download firmwares for any Samsung Rom.
Odin is the program used to flash .tar images. You'll need Odin to flash things like stock firmwares and bootloaders like ClockworkMod (CWM)
Hello!
I just bought my new tablet and I wanted to make sure I have latest version for my device, but I got a message saying that my device has been modified, ok so then I installed kies and it told me I had the latest version avaliable, then I went into download mode and I saw system status:Custom, I tried to wipe both partitions but still the same problem.... I bought this tablet today feels very strange that my system is custom. On my note 3 it is says official
Are you using a MicroSD? If yes, take it out, then reboot and check again. It's a known bug.
Same on mine. No micro sd rebooted many times

If you rooted you've tripped the knox security sistem and samsung won't update a rooted device. At least that's what Ithink happened on my device...

Hello
I have the same problem. Is custom but Knox is 0x0. I try everything, including Odin, but NO result. In Odin don't start the process, in Kies it shows that is the last firmware, and OTA "the device is modified".
This is a common issue with the SM P905 variant, I had the same problem myself. The only way to sort it out is to send it to Samsung for repairs or take it in to a service centre. I'm pretty sure all they'll be doing is reflashing the firmware but you might not want to void the warranty by doing it yourself.

Wait simply for the update via KIES or OTA. It will be available soon or is still available for a lot of countries.
Status will pass from modified to Official.
check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710004
Hi,
You first have to check if this particular update (not the stability update BUT this "modified status bug" update is available for your country.
Check it here http://live.samsung-updates.com/inde...device=SM-P905
Have a good Sunday.

Hi,
I was trying to update my GS4 OTA to KitKat 4.4.4 but I had to cancel the update over WIFI and leave the house. When I tried to update it again it shows that my device is up to date. But it's still on 4.4.2.
Somehow it thinks that I have the 4.4.4 I think. Why do you think this is happening ?
I reset my device and nothing is different. Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone. I just recently got a note edge, it's the verizon version but I have it on straight talk, the software that I'm running right now is 5.0.1, I want to update to the 5.1.1 version but when I try and do the update from settings everytime it tells me that software update is temporarly unavailable, any idea on how to fix that or if I can update via computer?
if i am not mistaken, just download the latest firmware for your phone on your computer
use ODIN to flash the new firmware

Why would you want to update when 5.1.1 has proven to be such a major headache?
