thanks,
that link is for ICS im still on the one before that, gingerbread is it
is it still valid for that?
If it's a new phone here in the UK some providers will replace it in the first month regardless of fault and if you have insurance to cover accidental damage then again they will repair/replace regardless of blame

yes mate even if i drop it down the toilet my phone insurance covers it
dont think it works for GB roms though not sure if the counter applies to them anyway ?so best not risk using it on GB rom :-( suppose you could try flashing stock ICS where ever you are through KIes and blame that on the triangle ;-)
do i need to put the stock kernal back on as well or just the rom?
think ill try get it back to stock first then tackle the yellow triangle
ok just been having a read up and just need someone to confirm this for me
im on 2.3.5 and i have my stock kernal still saved on my pc I9100XWKF3_Kernel.TAR
all i need to do is put the phone back onto the original kernel the use a jig to reset the binary counter ?

Hi! Just wanted to know if flashing a non rooted firmware with odin will void the warranty?

we can always flash back the stock rom and reset the counter with usb jig, we should be ok.
But then again now there's people saying there's a hidden counter to count the number of resets to the counter on the phone lol
reset counter?
Hi,
I just came back from Serendipity 6.4 to stock 2.1 on my captivate using ODIN 1 click. Because of the GPS issues on my phone the warranty dept were ready to replace my device). I am going to return it tomorrow.
I have done a factory reset and deleted all the unwanted folders. I am not sure as what you meant by "Counter". Could you please let me know if I need to take care of something else before i return the phone.
i dont want to get into any trouble while returning the device or after returning the device.
Thanks.

On the SGS2 there is a counter that increments each time you flash a custom kernal/rom and the SGS2 is also rumoured to have a counter-has-been-reset counter, just to complicate everything
It is unknown at this stage if it exists, and if so, if it can be reset.

it's probably just a rumour that don't exist. <- implying Samsung doesent need 1000 counters to check if the phone has been flashed

Thats probably true why have two counters .
Odin does not affect warranty its of itself a tool .
Flashing a custom rom will rooting will .
Flashing a stock rom could lead to rejection by a vendor if you bought from Vodafone and do not have the Voda firmware they could reject warranty but in that case the Samsung warranty would still be in place .

That's because it's a captivate and not a SGS2....
Tough to say based on the counter and the hidden counter counter rumours. I'd be inclined to say Samsung should be alright with it based on them sending certain ROM developers the phone.
Hey,
As far as my reading experience goes in the forum. I guess the counter does'nt click for the non-rooted firmwares i.e. released by samsung. It only clicks if we root the phone. Basically updating KIES stock releases like (XWKF3, XXKG5, XXKH3->the latest) don't void warranty. Then again I might be wrong because diff people have diff opinions on this. Anyone care to clarify ......
Cheers,
The only reason to send the phone back would be hardware malfunction, as this phone pretty much cannot be bricked. So I don't see why the warranty wouldn't work, considering custom ROMs are not going to be the reason for faulty hardware. That said, before sending back the phone, I would still flash the default ROM and reset the flash counter with a USB jig, just to be safe.
Yeah i guess you are right. Since the phone is unbrickable most of the software problems can be solved by flashing the rom by oneself. For hardware issues we can we can always switch to the region specific stock rom. But then again my question comes to jigging the phone do we really need to do this if we are not rooting or not flashing a custom rom. I mean we only update the stock kies releases only using odin ? Does the counter still tick ?

Would be nice for someone to post up a tutorial for this. Im thinking about getting my s2 replaced as battery life is not so great. I think mine is defective. Today i only got 9hrs minimal usage. Im on stock+root+cwm
You will need the jig to reset the counter and you will need a stock ROM to flash back to stock. Is stock ROM available yet? Those are the two things I need at hand before doing any rooting or flashing custom ROMs.
I have the jig ordered but has yet to see a stock ROM posted.

Just tell Best Buy that you have no idea why there is a yellow triangle there.. >_>
There is a small (very small) chance some warranty service types might give you grief about the custom binary count being non-zero.
However if you're just plain returning the device to an AT&T store, the device will be returned and your money back before the device reaches Samsung and they pull the counter (if they even bother to do so.)
So just doing the Return to Stock from my thread should do the trick in almost all cases.
Now in my case... If I ever have problems I'm using a jig, my custom binary count is over 40 now.
i actually just want to return my s2 for an exchange to a new s2. i think i got a bad s2, battery just not good on mine.
regarding OP question...

if i want to return to complete stock, all i have to do is odin the "Kernel + non-rooted system package" under PDA plus the MODEM under phone? if the MODEM was never messed with (like accidently installing a international version rom), we dont have to odin the MODEM right? or its a total must?

Entropy512 said:
You may have to enter 3e recovery and wipe after you return to stock, but other than that:
Just odin the kernel + non-rooted system.
And yes, if you never touched the modem, no need to flash it. If you're returning to stock to return, I would:
Flash kernel + nonrooted system
Enter recovery and wipe (same method for entering CWM from poweroff, but with stock kernels you wind up in 3e)
Check to make sure your baseband is UCKH7 in Settings->About Phone. If it isn't, flash the modem.

BTW I don't think removing the Yellow Exclamation point resets the counter. If they know how to look for that, they can still see that you flashed the phone. The Jig removes the exclamation mark AND resets the counter to 0. So, all you have to do at that point is flash the stock rom, insert jig, and phone was as if you didn't tamper with it at all.
At least that's I hope the jig can do, cause why did I spend $8!!!???

Yes, this has been reported in the i9100 forums with regard to the International version of the SGS II. Developers in this forum say otherwise. I havn't seen any posts proving this one way or the other. I havn't even seen any screen shots of the counter being anything other than "no".
Pretty much everyone agrees that the jig resets both. But it is also reported that bootloaders installed with the leaked versions of the stock rom do not allow the warning to be cleared or the counter to be reset with the jig.
I'd like to see some proof on these issues, or at least reports of first hand experience that gives us some verification on these issues.
Even If I flash back to the original vodafone rom and reset everything. After having a custom rom/kernel my warranty is void right?
Not necessarily.
If you put a stock rom back on and clear the counter with an app or jig then who is to know you put a custom rom on at all?

Yes you will lose your warranty, if you flash.you can set back your internal counter with an USB jig, if you need to send in your phone in a case of warranty, but I don't know if that is a legal way to get your warranty back.

This guy is right. Morally as soon as you mess about flashing roms you void your warranty. But there are ways to technically cover your tracks. Its up to you whether you try them or not!
I suspect anyone on here returning their phone has done these things
One of my friends sent their phone in for a hardware issue (rocker button stopped working) they didn't put stock back on or clear counter but they got it back fixed - but completely back to stock..
Counter can be cleared with a jig or app called triangle away.

Yea, simply just flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com, and reset the flash counter with a USB jig that you can buy on ebay for like £3, and the repair service has no idea! By the way, I have done this, no questions asked.

I am asking this cause I'm selling my phone and the guy I'm selling it to want's warranty xD (Sorry guys but I'm moving on to the Galaxy Nexus xD)
Get you an USB jig and a stock firmware and your buyer should be happy
Have fun on the nexus
Once you put custom firmware on your phone or root it, you should lose all expectation of warranty service/replacement in the future. Regardless of any methods you might be able to use to put the phone into a state somewhat similar to when it was bought.
Yes, if you go back to stock & reset the flash counter there has been many people on here who have received warranty service. There has also been people on here who have done this & still been denied warranty service. How they've been found out we'll never know.
You need to be honest with whomever you're selling it to there's always a chance they won't get paid for service if they need it.

Is this a special USB jig or the standard jig for getting into download mode that does reset the counter?
There's only one jig. If you find it doesn't work, you're probably running the 'new' bootloader. If that's the case, flash the 'old' bootloader (download link in Intratech's firmwares thread) & the jig should work.
Hi, I have downloaded some firmwares to my Samsung galaxy s2. The last firmware I put on was Official I thought but in download mode where is says "Curent Binary" it says custom. How do I get that back to official samsung? Is there a way through kies, like with iPhone where itunes can reinstall the os?
Also does a firmware that is vodafone branded be put on a handset that is on the three network? Would it affect the signal?
Thanks
Get a jig from eBay. If you find the jig doesn't work, flash the 'old' bootloader from here. Yes you can flash Vodafone branded firmware on a phone that uses 3's network. No, it shouldn't affect the signal. These things are dependent on your modem, and most roms don't replace your existing modem.
I flashed using a firmware from this site. http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=-1#modelsa and it returned it to the Samsung Official. Everything is back to standard.

Is flashing the old bootloader safe on a custom ROM? Even if it's an AOKP ROM? Cheers.
Yep.
However, some roms may not boot with the old bootloader (In saying that, I'm running it with CM9, but I didn't muck around with stock versions of ICS beforehand which might have changed it to a BL which doesn't work with CM9). If in doubt, ask the developer of the custom rom you're using if it works OK with the old bootloader (I presume you want to get rid of the boot triangle ?).
Obviously you run a very small risk of bricking your phone every time you flash anything, and you only flash/mess with bootloaders when you have a specific reason for same.
Having to send your phone to Samsung/your carrier for warranty service is one of those reasons, and if you've gone back to stock & your jig won't work, flashing the old bootloader is a simple no mucking around way of getting it done.

I just got my phone back from repair and they upgraded it to the latest version of ICS with the ICS Bootloader. I've flashed Hydrogen-ICS and I've got the yellow triangle, obviously the USB jig won't sort it because of the bootloader. There's no disadvantage to having the triangle other than if I need to send it back under warranty is there? I think I might just leave it and sort it if the time comes.
Ahhhh OK. Gotcha
No, the triangle is only a 'cosmetic' thing. You could probably flash the old bootloader, get rid of the triangle, flash the new bootloader, and be on your merry way. But if it doesn't bother you & you've got Hydrogen running the way you want & everything is hunky dory otherwise, there's no need to do it

When i flashed back the triangle was gone and i used the branded rom so it has the three network boot logo again just like the day i pulled it out the box all the same apps and it worked like normal in kies i even had a successful update in kies. Though it took some work didnt reconize the device after a good 30mins of pluging and pulling and restarting. I also found some apps can stop kies working apparently, ones from market not on pc. And i had a custome 2.3.6. I just fancied having back to normal till i get bored again.

You can avoid the counter increase, simply flash your archives via CWM instead of doing it via Odin. It won't update the counter, so the triangle won't appear

tutorial kinda................ thats how i run
1: flashed cwm (attached) via odin
2: wiped everything, including system
3: flashed stock ICS via odin
4: rooted via cf-root
5: used triangle away to reset counter and triangle
6: install mobile odin
7: flashed the cwm kernel extracted from the same and flashed using mobile odin [zimage]
8: now i have cwm without counter and triangle.
9: flashed cm9 using cwm
now i can flash whatever rom via cwm, without counter issue.
you want to flash kernel use mobileodin again and you wont update counter.
hope this helps.
EDiT: odin is 99.9% for stock ROM's thus will not raise counter. only when you flash cwm for the first time with odin you get counter + triangle.
hope this helps.

This is an example of why companies are locking phones down..
People make their own mistakes and fry phones so they don't have to pony up the coin for a new device.. the company then replaces the phone for a issue that wasn't their fault..
Say it, Don't spray it.
