QUOTE(waveweaver @ Nov 1 2012, 10:32 AM) You still dont understand the situation. It's not a matter of data loss or wipe. It's a matter of getting FOTA or using Kies. You cannot have those if your phone status is MODIFIED. Your phone status must be NORMAL first then only you can use either one or both. And in order to get NORMAL status..you have to factory reset your phone. Otherwise your status still MODIFIED. I hope you have a clearer picture now. And i sincerely hope you're willing to give a hand in helping newbies instead of laughing and critizing other ppl effort of trying to help other users. I have mentioned numerous times previously that triangle away can restore your status to original from modified in a rooted s3 with stock rom. I've used chainfire's cf auto root to root my s3 and then triangle away to reset ROM counter AND restore status to original. Next day, I had an OTA update notification and easily upgraded to jelly bean with no issues. After update, I used OTA rootkeeper to restore root. As simple as that, no need to do CF root again. |

QUOTE(tigerporc @ Nov 1 2012, 12:26 PM) In my experience, triangle away (2.1 and 2.2) only managed to change the modified status to normal on ICS. Once on JB, triangle away only resets the flash counter. After I used triangle away, i protected the root with OTA rootkeeper . After the official jb update, I restored root with ota rootkeeper. I just checked the status just now, it's Samsung official, no 'modified' status detected I used triangle away v2.24 I think, just before the latest 2.25 update |

QUOTE(waveweaver @ Nov 1 2012, 03:00 PM) Try take a look at your Setting > aboug device > status > device status See whether it's normal or modified Yes, you're right. This time when I try to do another triangle away, rom counter was reset but status remain as modified. Looks like what one forumer say here is true, triangle away may work to change status in ics but not jb. So, unless there is a new patch, looks like the next ota release will hv to be done via a firmware download from Samsung and then flash with Odin and finally root, am I right? |

QUOTE(waveweaver @ Nov 1 2012, 07:58 PM) You can still get a normal status but quite a hard way as you need to do a factory reset in order to get your next FOTA. Any use of CWM will trigger the status back to modified.  The whole reason why chainfire is promoting cf auto root toolkit (with no cwm) is for enthusiasts who simply wants root but remain custom rom, which is why it comes with stock recovery. I guess the stock recovery in cf auto root is now on ICS and not JB. Hope chainfire updates the root kit soon, then we won't hv future OTA update issues, just like how it was smooth updating from ICS to JB recently |
