Samsung updates blocked on modified Note 8.0

Looks like updates have been blocked for rooted Note 8.0 devices. I get a message when I check for software updates under the about section in settings.

If yournusing the framaroot app, just unroot, update then reroot, works for me.

Is there a new update beside the one pushed a week or so ago?

This was discussed in detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247243
Unrooting using Framaroot, or use OTA Rootkeeper. Either way works, but be sure to reboot after unrooting. Otherwise you will just get the same error message about the system being modified. Also, if there any any bloat apps frozen or uninstalled, you will have to undo that (in addition to unroot) for the system to come up as not being modified.

This is a rather stupid move on Samsung's part.

Kies will still work for the update though, even modified, at least for me. I did however set Kies up with it stock & then selected the "Auto download updates" feature in Tools / firmware upgrade settings, so if there is an update, whenever I plug the N8 into my laptop, it tells me an update is available & then gives me the option to install it now or wait.
Even stranger though is that even modified, I can select to reprovision & install factory firmware (Upgrade & Initialization) on the Note 8, but now on the Note 10.1 once it says "modified" status, you lose the ability to provision & reset with Kies & you get the "N8013 does not support initialization" error, even though both are now running the MD3 firmware. Go figure.

Framaroot from the play store works to temporary unroot for purposes of updates. Just install it abd choose the option to temporarily unroot, then reboot and check for updates. It will download and install the update. I recommend another reboot when its finished. Then load up framaroot and restore root. All in all with a fast internet connection the whole process may take 10 minutes.

I tried using Framaroot to unroot my rooted N5100. I then checked for updates and it told me that they are not available to modified devices. I then even tried uninstalling everything and doing a factory reset and im still not able to check for updates. Any idea how to get my device back to the way it was out the box so i can check for updates?

OK used Kies to restore original firmware and this fixed it.

Can you just hide root using Chainfire SuperSU?

I have never used it before, will try and find out

No. The new boot loader checks the system partition for changes. So if you even have the SU binary or any other modified or new files in the System folder or any subfolder, it will not work for updates.
On other devices, like the Note 10.1, you have to revert to an older boot.img to be able to keep the status as unchanged. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist for the Note 8 as far as I know.

I have modified my multiwindow to work with all apps. When I used rootkeeper I was still able to update so I giess it works with some mods but not all.

I bought my Note 8 on June 11th and it received an immediate update. I rooted with Framaroot and a few days later I received another OTA update. But now, after that, it says it can't update and I can't get it to unroot...

How is your battery life on it ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

was using this before for almost a week and i noticed that there are times that the wifi doesn't turn on when pressed.. it tries to open but then it turns off itself.. i thought it was a hw issue and still hoped for a miracle by changing firmwares to ME6.. and looks like that fixed it.. though im on ME6 for just 2 days now, ill keep on observing..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Yes. It has some weird bug regarding wifi.. My router is not broadcasting SSID(hidden). The Wifi gets disconnected while using whereas my other phone(Lumia 920) doesn't have this issue. Both are connected to same router.

Had the update for about a week now, just few things that's bugging me. The charging takes twice the time then it used to be. Then there's the wifi auto turn on problem. Might do a full cleanup later. But the speed performance is better then the previous update.

Just receive update MF1 last month n now MF2?? What improvement does it bring to our note 2? Any info??

Really this time sammobile/sammy have messed up something
i have flashed DMF2 with baseband MF1 when it was relesed 10 days ago.
then there was new release shown on sammobile with baseband MF2, I thoght there should be majot bug in previous otherwise sammy never release second update in a week. so i have downloaded and flashed but still modem was mf1. i have extract the image and surprisingly modem were same on both ROM but system.img was newer (built 18th june)
Again i have checked here some screen shot showing kies showning baseband MF2.I thought let's move back to previous MF2 with baseban MF1 and then receive OTA to update baseband. but devise constatnly saying device have latest software (even though on MF2 with MF1 baseband)
So, don't want to remain in doubt and moved back to MC3.
Will update only india gets latest update / 4.2 whatever come first.

They didn't screw up. I received that update via kies.

Because your phone is being used on T-Mobile, your update will come from T-Mobile. Pretty sure that is what the axman was saying. I had a tmo phone on att at one point and got my updates from att....
I'm not sure how that works for our device, so you may not get an update at all from Tmo. But yes in general your update would come from tmo.

then keep an eye out on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares for an MF3 tar release. once it drops you can flash via odin without root access

I'm confused. Will I receive the update through Settings->About Device->Software Update, or will I have to update it through Kies?
EDIT: Just noticed that I can't check for an update for another 1269 hours!!!

correct me if i'm wrong here.. i thought i read from that it's best not to do OTA updates if your usage preferences rely on root and/or custom roms and kernels.. i only use odin because from what i understand, that is usually the safest way to fully wipe and restore/upgrade/downgrade mobile devices running android. am i wrong? curious.

Hello, at&t has pulled the update due to glitches. Some people reported that their phones wouldn't even turn on. Also you can't update your at&t galaxy s4 on Kies because at&t put a block on that... The reason they did that is so they can add all of their NSA crapware to your phone and lock it so you can't modify it as easy. If you really want 4.3 I would install a custom ROM. I'm still on 4.2.2 rooted. 4.3 isn't all that good anyway. Nothing new.

i just checked mine and it still says i have to wait over 24hrs, so even tho my time and date are back to normal the update software still picks up when i fast forwarded my time/date. just a thought here, but i think the only way to reset that could be to flash back to stock with odin, but you would lose all data doing this. so its either probably doing that or keep trying to fast forward your time and checking.
