Hey I have a question for you guys I read somewhere about something called a flash counter which gives information to samsung that you have tampered with their rom (when they check it of course). So my question is by using SGS3 toolkit 2.0 does this happen. Let's say I have problems with the phone will the warranty still be valid. Also about installing skins. Do I have to root in order to install let's say the ICS Domination.
Thanks in advance and sorry for asking such noob questions

I actually have one more question. If I decide can I "unroot" the phone, just get it back to factory settings without Samsung finding out I had messed with the phone.

You can reset flash counter using Triangle Away and then flash a complete stock ROM using ODIN

Pretty sure you already need root to use mobile odin.

There is no way. For the first time you have to use a computer.
mobile odin requires root.No other way?

just over pc or mac! no other way trust me
Yep. Initial root requires a computer.
If you really need to root right now, download Odin and CF-Root on your phone and ask someone to borrow their computer or use a public computer. Move the files to the computer and root it in less than one minute and you're done!
i have a few questions maybe you guys can help... so here we go:
when you root with odin, it unlocks the phone giving you su right. does this also change your rom?
how is the launcher different than the rom? difference between flashing rom and kernal?
last one... when you install a custom rom, can you delete it if there are bugs to reinstall a different one or use the stock?

1. No

So I use Odin and the snapdragon tool kit to root my phone. I have the stock rooted Rom that came with the toolkit. Right now I have to use the snapdragon toolkit to install Roms but want to be able to use clockworkmod cuz I don't always have my computer with me. So is there anyway to do that? And also what is the best ROM for the sg3

Go to the following link. just download CF kernel latest version. install it using ODIN. that's it you are done now you will be able to use CLOCKWORKMOD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
There are 2 ways to access CWM
1. press VOL UP+HOME+POWER, keep it pressed till samsung logo appears, than let it go.
2. in your app drawer there will be an app CWM, open it than tap on recovery mode and it will boot in CWM.

One question and that is important..if you have a GT-I9300 international version which has Exynos chipset why are you using Snapdragon Toolkit?
and if you have any other version of S3..why are you posting it here?

Sprint has its own forum for the sgs3 varient.......thats where you will get help from.
we can help you, but all the files/tools/roms/and Mods are of pretty much no use to you. so it makes sense to get info from people who have the same device.

Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
Go into recovery and do a full wipe or...
Flash a stock Rom from sammobile.com
There's plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it.

Hey guys,I hope to solve my problem.I read threads regarding this but couldnt understand.
So here it is,I got a micromax A87 phone a month ago,then I rooted it.I removed the manufucturers RAM hungry apps.Everything was fine,but from yesterday on call(both incoming and outgoing) I cant here the voice,but they can hear mine.Though I can hear them on speaker and headphone.
So now I want to give to company service center so what should I do?
1.Flash the phone with custom rom or
2.Unroot and install all those preinstalled manufacturer apps
I would like to do the second method.So my question is in which method I can fake that device was not rooted so I can reclaim my warranty? suggest if there is another method and how does the manufacturer come to know if i rooted the phone?
Try a factory custom rom. Then remove root. Most manfacturers dont care though.

Well put them back then. And then find a zip or an app that unroots the phone.

Unroot your phone and give it to service center.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
There are two solutions
1.you could find another member with your phone and get the apps that you deleted and unroot and give it to service!
Or
2. You could flash stone random rom and brick you device completely and give it back to service saying that it won't start up and hope they don't find out!
Personally I'd suggest you go for 1

U have a hardware problm
Why would they count the number of stock apps
Just unroot
And do a hard reset

Is unrooting process same for every pjhone?.....i did it using unlock root app
Hello guys,
I just started playing around with Android/ROMs/etc so forgive me in advance for what probably is a noobish question..
I rooted my i9300 using CF Root, and then tried a few ROMS.
Although, for the time being i decided to stick to the stock. Had it restored through CWM backup/restore function (Nan I believe).
But now, when I try to update it through Kies it says that the firmware version is not compatible.
I checked around and I've seen that I could flash the stock ROM and it would fix, although I would lose everything i have right now.
Wouldn't "unrooting" fix my problem? I mean, from what i can figure out, it's just copying cache.img and recovery.img to my 'boot'?
If so, wouldn't just putting back the stock files 'deceive' to update it?
Thanks a lot!!!

Use triangle away to reset counter, flash an unrooted stock Rom, do a factory reset, that should be or. You will be unroted and original status. Please correct me if I am wrong. There are also a lot of how guides here in the forum and on YouTube!

It was a great idea. Just did that, but apparently the firmware is still not compatible..
I also still see the CWM app in my app list..
Actually, rooting shouldn't interfere with updating via Kies, only OTA. That's what I read. Do you have the correct firmware region?
well its the one that came with the phone, so should be right.
would the cwm cause this? could i put back the original recover
