I've got a international GS3 and I just checked for new updates using the phone and I got the "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" message.
I went into 'About Device' and 'Status' and my 'Device Status' is showing as "Modified".
I'm totally confused why this would be, I'm not rooted and never have been, and am running the standard vodafone JB update. Also, this is a recent thing as I have been checking for updates at least once a week and this is the first time this has happened. Before I would just get the usual "your device is running the latest firmware" or whatever.
I've done a bit of reading and the problem I am experiencing is usually had by people who are rooted. Also read that sometimes it can be an issue with the external SD card, but I've tried removing and restarting the device and the problem persists.
The final thing I thought it could be down to is an app I've installed lately, but I've uninstalled all recent ones and nothing helps.
So as it stands I'll never be able to update my phone again!!!
Other than trying a full wipe and reset (which I don't want to do) I'm not sure what else there is to do or try. Any ideas???????
Thanks.
