Hi, I've a Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100G.
It is rooted with kernel superatoms v3.0 XXLA1 with the Odin process.
The Binary Count is 3 and it has CWM mode.
It is in warranty period in today's date
Now, I want to replace it with I9100 as it has a bad compatibility of apps. But they say that the warranty is voided when you root your phone. Also, the Binary Count must be 0 in order to give it for repair or replacement.
Now, the question is - in simple words - I want to make it as new as it was before unpacking. I think I have to unroot it and all.
So, the request is to tell me the steps to make it a new I9100G so that I'd have no problem using the warranty.
Use a usb jig to reset your binary counter. Flash stock firmware and a stock kernel, this will remove the cwm/root. Do a factory reset. Good luck.

Really appreciated your help dude. But what if I only flash the stock firmware, I think the kernels, ROMS and all are bundled in this process.
Well, thanks... I have clicked the Thanks button

It completely depends on the firmware package. Some have the kernels packed within them, but some do not.

Ya thnx dude. I must tell you that i know the rules perfectly. Infact, I was going to post it in the QA forum but i wanted a discussion over it and thus clicked the 'Yes this thread is a question' mark.
SIMPLE!!!
Can I use the jig for I9100 ???
By the way, can I use any jig whose plug is compatible with my G's port??
Can I use the jig made for I9100?
Or do I have to scratch my head for and search for a I9100G USB JIG?

A very BIG no no no you have a G you flash G firmware enough posts on here if you bothered to look before bricking .
Question = Q&A not General .

Return phone to Samsung service center. And take some reading lessons.
As they already told in your other double post, you flashed kernel for gt-9100, try to get to dowload mode, if you can then flash correct kernel, otherwise you need jig

difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

above link is the chainfire thread to root and the bottom link read that first to get a better feel of rooting

Hi guys,
I need to install and run Triangle Away but have one problem. As I have deleted the EFS partition on my phone, I can not get wifi or radio to work which is stopping triangle away from downloading and installing the add-on that it requires when you run it the first time. Does anybody know how I might be able to get this working. Can I download this addon from my laptop and then copy to phone ? USB is working, just not wifi or radio.
Thanks for any help.
download and install perseus kernel (probably others also) and it shouldn't ask you for addon (at least it didn't on mine).. that is if you have ICS.

whoops sorry. i did read the rules but missed that part. cheers.
You deleted the EFS? I'd be worrying much more about that than resetting the binary flash counter... you essentially have a $800 MP3 player right now. Either way I think what you are asking for is the flash kernel, I might be able to get that for you in the morning.

If you have deleted efs folder,
install a stock official rom via odin.
It will re create your efs folder.
You will have every thing but imei
however you need to bother this if you want to send it for warranty repair. Otherwise you can send it as it is for paid repair.

hey thanks. Yeah. I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I have an expensive mp3 player. Anything you might be able to do to fix this would be very much appreciated.
Cheers.

Also wanted to mention that I did not intentionally delete the EFS. This occured somewhere between install Omega JB (including Siyah Kernel post Omega install) and then down grading to Omega ICS. I do recall seeing the sdcard partition name change from sdcard0 and back to sdcard from JB to ICS though nobody has commented on whether this was any reason to be concerned.
Hi...were you able to.recover your imei? How?
Im having the same problem due to.efs folder.
Thanks
Why choose to resurrect this long dead thread? Search for the hundreds of identical efs folder threads and you will quickly learn that there is no way to recover the efs unless you made a backup. Take it to a repair centre and have them recode it for you, make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay.

If i flash a BTU firmware, then update it via Kies to jellybean, will it brick the phone or is it safe? Has anyone else done this?
Your telephone would explode because you did not used Q & A Thread, and you did not bother to use search function.
Have you ever read XDA rules? Please do. Do not open new thread for each question. Most of questions (including yours) are already answered.
I dont want to sift through 176 pages on the Q and A thread sorry.
Anyone answer please?
You can always use search function.
Most people are using it with good results. It's not that hard and I assume you are grow enough to use it.
But if you somehow cannot find it, then you can add a post on Q&A Thread your question and someone will answer you. At right upper corner you will get info at Notifications: that there is a reply.
fair point, my bad.
Please Search before create a new tread

no it wont brick your phone if done correctly(there are how-to threads about this, no further answers will follow here...)..
xda search is your friend and also is google - try to search on your own a bit and if you don't find anything, then you open a new thread -- here are more then 5mio users, someone does have your problem and there is a discusoon going on about that for sure..
no need spam more posts - read forum rules first!
yes it will brick it. So wait for kies.
Ive google searched loads for EE branded firmware and it just finds my own threads. Thats why im asking here but it keeps getting ignored so i have to keep asking cuz surely someone knows

hi guys,
I'm a complete noob to all this but i have read through the q and a section and the noob guide to rooting.
I am running 4.3 on a 19305 and attempted to flash with odin 3.09.
i first tried flashing with CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar
and later recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.4.7-i9305
both times ive got the pass message on odin but when i check root status with root checker it says no access.
since i tried to flash i now get what i think are Knox alerts telling me its blocking things that are trying to access root or something.
i've tried copying supersu on to my sd card and installing from there and that hasn't helped.
If i put my phone in to download mode now this is what i see,
Odin mode
Product name GT-19305
Custom Binary Download: yes (6 count)
Current Binary: custom
Knox warranty void: 1
AP SWREV: AR
Can anyone tell me what to try next
thanks guys
Best ask in the i9305 q&a section, this is for the i9300. Anything from here could brick your phone.
