How to unrooted my device for warranty?
If I restore my stock ROM backup will I be able to unroot it?

your search button not working ???
which leads you to the standard reply >>> Flash stock rom and reset custom rom counter

Do a search in Your phones Dev section for unroot instructions. You should find a .tar file you can push through Odin fairly easily, good luck!

No in order to return to an uprooted state for warranty purposes you would have to do a full wipe/factory reset and flash the original firmware via odin.

Is the usb jigg necessary? for warranty purpose.? I mean since Samsung didn't lock the bootloader...what will happen if I restore stock ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yes. If you don't reset the flash counter, it shows you've flashed non-stock firmware on to the phone, and you can kiss any chance of having your phone repaired under warranty goodbye.
If they see anything other than Custom Binary Download = No & Current Binary = Samsung Official, you're boned warranty-wise. Unless you're lucky.
Edit to add - For the sake of 3 bucks, why would you take the chance they'll reject a warranty claim ?

Any stock ROM will do, as long as your binary counter is zero, custom binary download shows NO, and current binary shows SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.

This app can reset your flash counter and triangle on ICS builds.

What was unclear about this? It removes the custom binary flash counter, the one you see if you've flashed a non Samsung kernel from download mode, and also the corresponding indicator (triangle) when you boot your phone afterwards.

So don't flash anything, stick to stock, and wait for official updates via Kies.
I don't have triangle... I removed it using some other method... I have 2 counter.. but I just want to know why the need of reseting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Resetting the flash counter isn't 'necessary'. But if you ever want to send your phone in for warranty service, not resetting the flash counter before you send it in for service might well mean you end up paying for your phone to be repaired/replaced rather than having same done on Samsung's dime.
Clear ?

Samsung warranty .
Void if custom rom or rooted phone or root apps or custom rom counter above zero .
Its as simple as that .
USB recovery jig can set custom rom to zero but not on later firmware with newer bootloader such as beta ICS .

How safe it is to use that method to get counter to zero?

Read the triangleaway thread. It states the dangers and how to use it.

It might be silly question but here it is.
To get "Reset flash counter", I need cwm so I have root and install cwm.
Then I can apply reset flash counter through cwm.
so number back to "0"
Should I flash stock rom after that?
then does that number go to "1"?
Thanks in advance

Sorry but what is gapps especially what is title of application?
Look for the thread in Android development about rooting without tripping the flash counter and it'll explain how to get back to stock without tripping the flash counter.

This is just the simplest of tasks
Download the stock firmware (Packed up in a .tar file) from sammobile.com/firmwareHere
And flash it via odin It's really that easy! Just as if you were rooting the phone
and traingle away also for reseting binary count

Hi,
Does anyone knows, how to resolve this problem?
When i flash with a stock rom, every thing is ok, but if i root it, the device status change.
In trakning this topic " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238&page=131" but looks like there is a lot of info....but nothing is working.
Thank you.
Because you've modified your device by flashing a custom kernel....modified device = modified status. Normal device = normal status.

Download from, samsung-updates, the file >

In fact it is the CF-root-kernel

He is correct cf root does not use a modified kernel to root S3s but you are still technically making adjustments to your s3 when you flash cf root. This is why u will always have modified status after rooting.
The 1st few paragraphs of the cf root thread probably explain it better than me lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Anything that replaces the recovery and and stock kernel is deemed "custom" although cf-root is based on the stock Samsung kernel, the fact you have to use Odin in order to flash it is deemed as "modifying" your device....hence the modified status

But the msg, only appears with JB.....
Ok, then what is the solution to have root, with JB, and not having, the device status modified.... just like before JB.
The "problem", we lost the Samsung updates...

Losing Samsung updates is not a problem for XDA members we don't use the OTA or Kies route .
First job is to remove Kies and delete OTA app .

Ain't gonna happen its always been the way with s3 even on ics, you root and you will have a modified status. But as jjegan already said here on xda you don't worry about ota/kies updates just flash new versions through Odin software and your good to go.

Lots of reasons you don't get it, usual problem is modified status. Have to be fully stock, unrooted and flash count of zero.

You can use TriangleAway to reset the binary counter to zero.
And by fully stock he means getting a stock unmodified image of your device's firmware from a website like www.sammobile.com and flashing it to your phone through Odin.
Oh thankyou...now I got you thanxx...I did custom rom few days ago..I didn't like cm10.2 and I couldn't even return to stock rom bcoz I forgot to backup stock rom...so I found stock rom from trueandroid website for my country vietman...I flash that stock rom by odin...now according to you first I should go for triangleaway and again flash that stock rom by odin will give me ota update? ???
