Went to check on any software updates on my Galaxy Mega GT-i9152, (as you do), and the message "Your device has been modified updates are not available" appears.
Now, I know when I first got the phone, (around 1 month ago), there was an update to it. This was after I'd checked via System, About, Software Updates.
I have NOT rooted this device. Not messed with it in any way, shape or form, it is in fact as stock, like the day I took it out of the box.
I have posted pics of the Firmware details etc.
All very strange.
Strange..!!! Why it show?? I think here no update available.. Not sure..
Did you get it as a "refurbished" device?

No, brand new.
As I said earlier, when I first turned it on, I immediately did a software check to see if there were any updates. There was one. No message about being "modified"..and status was Official.
Then checking earlier today, it says it's modified.

Well blow my socks off, I just checked again, and now I see this! Now I am confused because I haven't touched the phone since this morning except turn off the WIFI hotspot. lol

That is just too weird. My ATT Mega is only rooted. I still can check for official updates- Not that there is any!!!!!!!!! I don't get those messages about being custom. Also, If I don't have my att sim card in the phone when I check, the check for update gets interupted and never completes.
Now on my Note 8, which is rooted with a custom recovery I do get those "modified" device pop ups. I think it's the custom recovery that does it.

Ok so I'm pretty new to the android scene. Today I got a notice that I had a update so I unrooted because of people saying that if updating while rooted it will brick then I clicked apply update. My phone then rebooted and said up date failed. Im guessing from the lack of cell reception. Does any one know how to try again if I check for updates it says no firmware thankyou in advanced

There are a couple of ways to do it,
1) force your system to check for update
2) use ODIN to manually update, you can grab the software from the development section in the bible.
ok i tried to force update but it doesnt do anything then i tried to clear the data from the Device management app and check for updates again and it says system not ready check network or sim so im guessing i should just wait it out to see if they push it again. i would rather stay away from the sdk area i just got the phone out of the black screen of death today.
I take it you can 3 finger salute your phone if needed?
I personally feel the easiest thing to do is update it through mini Kies. If you need further instructions on how to do it, let me know.
I'm gonna hold off for a week because tmobile is sending me a new phone for some other issues I'm having but how would I update through mini kies cuz the gps on this phone takes so long so when I get the new phone I'm gonna fix that

I think Asus suspended the 4.03 OTA update. I got my new unit of Transformer prime and no matter how I clicked on check update it won't let me because non is available. I had another unit, where the other one i updated last night. I brought from the same place and I am in Canada Toronto.
Maybe ISC is too buggy and they need to crack out a new one before the bad press spread...
Duo you have a serial number?
yep
i do, i have built of WW if that matters
is it because my battery is below certain % so it won't let me
Yeah I just got mine this evening and haven't been able to update to ICS yet either. Does it have to be 100% battery before it will find an update?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
That may be a good sign that they are trying to fix it
From what I read it has to be above 15%.

Tried at 30 with my phone tethering, but no luck, will give a try at home once it's fully charged (Currently at work)
Damn... I was super excited about the update already being out. Something tells me I'm going to have to wait a while now.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Are you sure your serial number is listed in the software? (Settings then About My Tablet then Status).
We all have physical serial numbers, the bug is with the software not knowing it.
If you do and your battery is over 15% then they likely are suspending the OTA.

I'm showing a serial in status and last time I tried updating my battery was at 85%. Sounds like it's suspended...

Yep, got my TFP this afternoon. Came home tried to update and it says nothing available. Connected to marketplace/google. I have a serial number, so its their side.

Support told me new 4.0 firmware is coming in next few days
So if there is something wrong with it, why are some working? Just returned mine, have return remorse if they fix it now.
Better you return it while you know you can get a refund than end up stuck with a broken system later that ASUS refuses to admit is broken.
I'm currently on the phone with support one last time (OD is picking up the unit tomorrow, but given I have 4 shipments of accessories coming from Amazon...I realized I'm better off if I can get ASUS to finally just send me a new unit)- been on hold for over 45 minutes waiting for a supervisor. So...not a great start.
I was having the same problem but I assumed because I got mine in on jan 2nd (before the 12th official release date), that was why i never got any update notifications. I have checked over and over for the ICS update since I heard it was out but still nothing. So i assumed its something to do with regions.
However, after going through this thread...I checked the status of my unit and realised that serial number reads as "unknown". Please is this a defect of some sort? What are the implications(if any)?

From reading the other post, if your Android doesn't know your TFP's serial number, it cannot get update. Read that some ppl already returned theirs for a replacement.
today my girlfriends rezound got the ics update so i thought i would check mine. after trying to check for new updates the screen says checking for new updates then goes straight back to the screen to select status or check new. any ideas why?

Got the same thing going on here. I downgraded to GB to get the OTA since the RUU gave me problems. All I got was a small update that says its for getting my device ready for ICS.
Nevermind, Just did a check and its downloading! If it helps I switched to CDMA only, then back to LTE/CDMA, checked, and baboom

It could be that the update just hasn't been pushed to your phone yet.

Had the same issue after RUUing back to GB and what fixed it for me was a factory data reset in bootloader. Checked for update after it rebooted and found the OTA without issue. Hope that helps.
Mine would not update until almost charged. I don't know if that made a difference. But soon as I unplugged it, it started the ota

My S4 suddenly stopped charging the other day, and my immediate response was to unroot and take it to Verizon to see what is up. I never installed a custom rom, but had TWRP recovery installed. I used the No Wipe Stock unrooted image in Odin to put my phone back and Verizon had me to a factory reset. Apparently that is necessary before doing a warranty claim. Now, the guy at the store said that if it was previously rooted, or currently rooted they would reject it and I would be on the hook for several hundred dollars. Is there anyway they can tell that I did root it before?
Will they know you rooted? Not necessarily. However, I'd be surprised if the S4 didn't have a flash counter. Assuming it does, they'd know (at minimum) that *something* was flashed to your phone and how many times something was flashed.

Nope, doesnt say custom. And the device status says official. I am pretty skeptical they will see anything, and the only things I flashed through ODIN were the MD2 and MDK kernels. I just want to make sure I have all my bases covered.
I think you'll be okay. Most likely what they'll do is turn it on to see whether or not it says custom, plug it in to see if it charges or not, ten hand you a brand new device,

Well I already got the replacement device in the mail today. Now I have to send my defective one off. Its there where they will check on the phone.
I returned my phone to best buy after rooting and flashing multiple roms to it and got a new one within first fourteen days and they never knew that I had unrooted it. I know that's different circumstances but just letting you know my experience

Got a notification this morning about downloading a system update and out of habit, immediately turned the phone off even though I don't have plans to root(mainly because it's not available yet!).
Anyone know what's in the update or what it's adding/patching?
Looks like a pretty small update, 40.67MB. Says "Device Security Improvements" Baseband version went from APB5 to APC2
That probably means there is a root exploit even if nobodies found it yet huh
That's what I was thinking buradd. Still holding out hope. Lol

I was doing that all day.. then i heard a notification sound, went to grab my phone and it was automatically rebooting into recovery installing the update.. kind of intrusive if you ask me, they really wanted my phone patched...
Same here. Hit remind me later and later it did it automatically.
