unrooted, on stock.. can't check for updates

[theraker007]

Hi everyone, I unrooted my note 8 using the toolkit and i never modified the stock firmware in any way, but it's still not letting me check for updates on the device because it detects it as modified..
I confirmed the unroot doesnt work since titanium backup wont open
what else can i try?

It does not support the note 8 so I haven't

You mean "the unroot did work", and you are not presently rooted, right?

Did you simply try rebooting? I was confused about the update not working, then realized I simply needed to reboot, then the update worked fine.

If any bloat apps were even frozen in Titanium, you need to unfreeze them. I know you said you didn't modify the firmware. But you might have missed this, or didn't consider it "modifying the firmware".

Did you install busybox? It's possible that Samsung's looking for things other than the SU binary and busybox is one of the things a lot of folks install immediately after SU.

All those things are accounted for. The device status still says custom though. Weird..
Oh well

Did you remove or freeze any apps while rooted? If so then did you make sure to restore them before you unrooted and tried to update?

Use the PCsoftware "kies" of samsung , that will let you update / upgrade even if you are rooted.
It shows the latest firmware and your firmware so you know if you need to update or not.
You will lose root if you decide to flash firmware.

It may sound ridiculous, don't really understand why, but I had the same problem and googled it (don't remember where i found it) the solution for me was as simple as removing my SD card and rebooting, then the update option magically was available again.
