Today I found out that there is a new update to my phone that is running stock 4.3 rom.
I have only rooted the phone but I can't update it with ota any more.

I only gets a message when I try to do a ota update. "Your device is customized. Update is not possible"

Is this because I have rooted the phone or is it because I have used clean up software that replace system apps with updated version?

How do I make ota working again without losing all my data? I have used triangle away but that was not enough. My device status is still custom. But my counter is now 0.

First aff all i would like to tell you that you cannot ever update a rooted device from the OTA provided by the manufacturer.
So unroot your device and you can surely update after that.

He is running 4.3 and he rooted it ...... Knox 0x1... or maybe I didnt understand the first post :confused:. I mean if he void the warranty is a lil stupid lose the time unrooting, then updating by OTA/KIES and rooting it again... if u can flash it with ODIN, no?
