Stock Device Won't Update Saying 'Unauthorized Change' - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I tried to check for a system update and received a message saying that I had made unauthorized changes to the software and would need to try an alternative method to update requiring attaching to a pc. I have never even tried to root this tablet so don't understand why I get this message. Any suggestions?

Remove the SD card, reboot and retry the update. It won't work with some sizes of SD card in the slot.

Try with odin to update your device , search firmware for your country in sammobile

I have tried the following: steps:
made hard resets - no effect
flashed using KDZ updater (E97510C_00, E97510a_00 E97510f_00) - no effect
used LGtool (selected recovery..inserted my IMEI and load) - no effect
and followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2010624
but problem haven't solved
always media scanning
cant try any ways like fleshing kernel, becose need fastboot mode
cant unlock fastboot, cos cant make root... anyone way to install root not work, cos no access to phone storage
someone told me i can try to do root with adb shell... but cant find how i can use this in my sutuation
I would be very thanksfull any help
i rly dont know what should i do next....
In the past I have a problem with media scanner message, always running in the background, although I had no problems about rebooting or soft-resets, it was only a message running in the background always. The way I solve it was to go into "almacenador de medios" (dont know in english, maybe something like "media store") in app manager, and then force stop, clean data and clean cache, reboot and after a first past again, all went ok. I suppose you continue with the message after reseting maybe because cache or dalvik cache is not clean.
Hope that help.

have you tried the lg pc suite?go to lg's site and download it and the connect your phone to pc in "pc suite" mode.then from there you can do an update or press the "emergency firmware recovery" under device menu.This will propably recover your phone.

already tried this
but problem havnt solved after "emergency firmware recover"
anyone knows how i can made root without access rights to sd card?
ways like "frameroot.apk" and via bat file "currentroot.bat" - not worked (all those methods need access to sd card)
or maybe there are any commands on ADB to reset or fix sd card?
i'm rly sad with my problem....
what is the model of your phone and ROM?
did You try go back to stock rom with LGMobile Support Tool?
I have same problem but it occurs when I flash to E97510D ROM (my phone is F180K):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246867
when I want to fix it, I make emergency firmware recovery in LGMobile Support Tool (and factory reset after this).
Maybe your motherboard is giving up
no... every time I go back to stock ROM, its working fine

[Q] Found (j) over OTA but LG PC Suite says no Update. How to install manually?

I am rooted so a regular OTA update doesn't work. From g to i, I used PC Suite which when it found the i update upgraded me without question. (I.e i didn't have to unroot). Now I want to install j from aug 7 which the phone's update feature shows and downloads. (I thought it was pre release but probably not). How can I find the file on the phone and install it on the PC manually? Would the PC Suite recognize an already downloaded update file (like Itunes does). ?
Any hints to help me find it? Would it have a kdz extension? Right now I am searching with the string "v10j" but nothing is being found.
For those who might have similar issues. I had to "Restore Upgrade Errors" on LG PC Suite, which failed, and I had to repeat it. DOn't just hit "retry", close program and click "Restore upgrade errors" again otherwise it will keep failing. This effectively returned me to an unrooted v10i. From there I was able to use Software Update on the phone to get the (j) OTA. It is currently Dalvikizing my formerly Art apps and looks like it will work. From there I have to root again and debloat.

Note 3 SM-N900 stuck at "Firmware upgrade error" Please help!

Hello everyone,
Hope you are well.
I am having a bad day with this Note 3. After resetting the stock firmware, it kept on giving a yellow sign at the notification bar that says "unauthorised operation detected, please reboot to prevent changes". Note that this is after full reset and no update or anything installed. After It restarted, it did something which looks like when a device gets a rom update (like those tools working on the droid belly), and after that it rebooted and keeps showing "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
I installed Kies 3 and it detects the phone but then says its not supported. If I try to do an firmware initialization and recovery, it asks for the phone model and serial number, after I enter both, it comes up with a message saying "SM-N900 does not support initializing."
Odin can't flash the phone either, its coming up with and error says write failed.
Please advise on how to proceed from here.
Many thanks in advance.

SM-P607T stuck in 4.4.2

Hello everyone,
i bought the SM-P607T during my deployment in Afghanistan over Ebay USA . Spending my time there i tested the device and installed all updates etc. Back in Germany just my wife used it. Some weeks ago i noticed that an update to Lollipop should be avaible so i took the device to bring it up to date and i noticed some problems.
(Please note that i am just a noobie to flashing and rooting android and just follow guides to get to my goal.)
1. Device only loading while shut down. (After rooting and installation of TWRP it strangely started to load while on again even on PC USB connection)
2. Its not possible to connect the device with any PC.
3. OTA updates stop at around 27% and fail (KitKat 4.4.4)
[In TWRP shown
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip /data/fota/update.zip
E: Error installing zip file /data/fota/update.zip"]
Strange enough that the update info shown in android is Chinese Version
Tried to get some support with Samsung Europe but unfortunately they say US device US problem......
So what did i do in the meantime
1. Tried different loading devices frome Samsung and 3rd party companys. No changes.
2. Tried several different data cables to connect to 4 different PC. Even the one wich worked good with my Honor7 or the Galasy S4 mini dont do with the 607
3. My last try to fix this problem was to change the USB charging dock completely. Also didn´t change anything.
4. Now the step where i am currently stuck. I managed to root the device and install TWRP(v2.8.7.0) . Now tried to install Version P607TUVUBOI2 via SD Card.
Just followed diffenrent Guides on youtube and forums but im stuck at this.
Here is the message i got in TWRP recovery:
"Installing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip
Checking for MD5 file....
Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found
Error flashing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip
updating partition details......
Checked the *.zip on my PC there was just this file in: P607TUVUBOI2_P607TTMB1BOI2_P607TUVUBOI2_HOME.tar.md5
Downloaded the file from a different source again with same result
It would be very nice if someone is capable to help me with this and give me a hint what i possibly did wrong (Please do not mention not to buy in the US). For me it doesnt matter if i got a rooted or not routed version to install my main goal is to get rid of 4.4.2 . The problem with the not working USB connection is the biggest show stopper for me.

I really confused about your description? you using twrp to flash a .zip rom? then you mentioned about .md5 rom on your pc? how did you flash? With .md5 rom you need to use Odin to flash. Can you boot into download mode (hold down volume down + Home buttons then press power button)? If you able to boot to download mode, your pc should able to see the device and you would use Odin to flash the .md5 rom from your pc to the device. Also where did you download the .zip rom?

Unfortunately, ATT does not release firmware files.
Instead, you must update using FOTA (Firmware Over The Air).
From ATT's website you must:
Make sure you're in the U.S. and on our wireless network.
You can download the update via Firmware Over the Air (FOTA).
You must connect your device to Wi-Fi® to download the update.
Although there should be no impacts to settings or data, we recommend backing up your media files to an SD card, a computer, or using a favorite application, prior to upgrading the software.
Update & verify software
Update software
Make sure your device is fully charged and connected to Wi-Fi.
Swipe down from the Notification bar and select Settings.
Scroll to and select Software update, then Check for updates.
Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the update. The device automatically restarts once the new software successfully installs.
If you have tried this and failed, what error message are you getting ?
or you can visit this ATT site for help with your issue:
