Hi all i have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 a while ago I decided to root this phone to get some extra features.
Today, as I write this, I got an internal message popup saying there was a new update for this phone. great I thought glad samsung has a new update.
So i ran the installer but got a message, cant update device has been modified. understandable as I was rooted.
To try and get the update I decided to
1. remove root using KingRoot: update did not work.
2. reset back to factory settings: Update did not work.
3. came here to ask.
is there a way to fix the error relating to modified device on my ace 3 so i can get the latest official update.
thanks for any help you can give on this

Hello everyone. I'm extremely new to this and need some help on the subject.
Recently I got a Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190L and tried rooting it. The problem was I tried doing it with a GT-I8190 root. Fortunately it didn't go very far with Odin. Once it gave me the "Fail" notification I unplugged it and the phone restarted by itself. It said that it was performing 3 updates and started working normally. My issue is that now I can't download any firmware updates (Kies tells me the software is not supported and can´t initialize, where as WIFI update tells me the device has been modified), and doesn´t auto-rotate unless an app requires it. I even downloaded Root Checker from Google Play and all it tells me it has "improper root".
Recently the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean UBAMC1 Firmware has been released, so I was wondering if by installing this update I could solve my problem?
Have as much patience as you can with me and please be as descriptive with your answer as you can. As I told you I´m very new and can get lost pretty easily. :silly:
Thank you for your help!

Hello, first off I have a Galaxy s3 SCH-I535, 4.3 software version. A few months back I rooted my phone, but. I decided to unroot it to get the 4.4.2 mostly because the "install software update now" screen kept, keeps on popping up every few hours. Sometimes not even an hour. I went to YouTube to check up on videos showing me how to unroot my phone. I found a user that supposedly showed how to unroot a phone without a computer. I followed his instructions and, technically, it worked. But I came to find out that his method didn't unroot my phone. I still can't update my software and I can't seem to be able to finish my uprooting. I even tried rerooting in order to unroot it by another mood but I can't do that either. When I try to reroot it with the "saferoot" method (which was the program I used to first root it) there is a sign that says "your kernel has being patched". It reinstalled SuperSU but the app says that it doesn't detect an SU binary. I'm lost. I really need help. I much much rather know how to finish my unrooting.
Hi,
The first post here is about returning to stock state. If you need further help you can ask in the thread,

Hi Guys,
i have some questions concerning rooting. I have a stock Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with T-Mobile branding. I would like to install a Custom ROM because my battery life is so bad but i love this phone (for example because of its water resistance and the fact that my hobby is diving ).
So my plan is:
1. root my device and install a custom Nougat ROM (to change the screen resolution)
2. when the official update is out i want to go back to stock Firmware
3. now my question: Is it possible to receive OTA Updates after getting back to stock firmware?
I know know is set to 0x1 after a root and im going to lose my varranty but thats no problem, i would only like to receive OTA Updates after going back to stock firmware.
Thank you for your help!
Greetings from Munich and have a great new Year 2017
Hi!
As long as your device is stock, recovery included, you should receive the ota no problem. So flashing stock firmware and recovery should do the trick. :good:
Don't accept an ota if you do happen to get an update notification, if you are not completely stock. It will fail.
Last resort too, is flashing an updated version manually. If that's possible for your device.
Good luck!
I posted i thought but don't see it i rooted an LG ls675 with king root removed a couple preinstalled apps sprint zone and 2 amazon apps I mistakenly tried ota failed found out this unrooted my phone and tried another ota that failed also running stock installed a root browser titanium bu busy box ect do i need to remove these apps or will i have to do factory reset to get this update running 5.1.1
Hello everybody!
I'm new on this stuff of rooting my s8+ Phone (SM-G955FD-Exinos), actually i can get the root, installin magisk and that sfuff, everything is ok, but when i restar my Phone, got a bootloop, the phone says "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed ", well after that and 2 days with my phone dead, i finally can install the Official rom from Samsung and bring my phone alive, obiously without Root
I was searching about, and that happen because my Firmware is the latest update from samsung, the G955FXXU4CRK1, so its the 4 Binary, i found that i just can get root in the Binary 1 but when i try to flash that binary, Odin Says i have the binary 4 and cant instal the 1 Binary.
So, i just want to know, if i can get root for my firmware and after root the phone i can restart it witouth get a bootloop, of maybe i can Downgrade my Firmware to 7.0 and get fully root there?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.,
