OTA update says my device has been modified an cant get em

I have since unrooted my galaxy s4 mini GT-I9197, 4.2.2,JB- in Australia...
after ridding unused stuff, google books an the like.... why cant i get OTA happening, am I able to get 4.3 JB , also did a reset on it and tried again wif the same response back OTA, what versions past 4.2.2 will leave me with an unlocked dock

May andriodcentral be with me
 
Re: OTA update says my device has been modified an cant get em

By removing/modifying the stock setup you altered the device. When the OTA checks to see if the device is " stock/unmodified " it is obviously noticing these changes you made even after unrooting and that is why the update is failing.

Best suggestion is to find a " Restore to stock " package/file and use that to completely restore your device back to stock. Don't forget your bootloader is probably showing a tampered flag or something along those lines too..

Best I can recommend is posting a question or looking around our Galaxy S4 Mini forums and I'm sure you will find some threads or help to get you properly pointed in the right direction.
