Hi, I'm not sure if this could help but, some big apps require wifi to download, there was an option about this in settings but I'm not sure. if already on wifi try checking your connection and proxy/security etc for download blocking. It may even simply be an overloaded server not responding to your phony.
A bit off topic but some download services perform worse when using dns services like google dns. This is due to, them using closest cache server to your DNS and not you.

Check wifi, reinstall triangle away.
You can also flash syah kernel, it support triangle away.
1. download syah kernel
2. flash through cwm
3. reboot and install triangle away
4. success
5. install other kernel if you want. (i prefer to use syah kernel)
Had the same problem this morning, checked Chainfire's blog and it was down. Checked blog just now and it was up and Triangle Away is downloading again. Assume he hosts his own stuff.

Hello Sirs,
Today I was about to flash the long awaited CM9-RC1 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 device with ROM Manager. After downloading it with Rom Manager I checked the three options:
Wipe Factory/Reset
Wipe Dalvik
Backup Device
Phone reboots and screen turns black. I waited for a good 15 minutes yet nothing happens. I popped the battery out and tried to fire it up again but now it wont start properly. It will be detected by computer as a "Unrecognized Device" only. The phone shows the Samsung logo + the flashcounter warning I assume? (Yellow triangle with exclamation mark.).
I cant access recovery-mode (clockworkmod) the only thing I am able to access is "Downloading Mode" but the device remains "Unrecognized Device" by computer. I did a little research about this problem - I only found some tips on changing cables/clean usb-port. None of which worked out to any advantage. I cant access the phone with adb either, and USB Debugging is not enabled as far as I know.
Odin nor Heimdall wont recognize the phone.
Downloading Mode
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
Previously installed on the phone was 20120624-CM9-NIGHTLY along with Siyah Kernel SGS2 v3.3.2.
Worth to mention is that this happened to two phones at the same time. My brother also flashed his today and got the same result. Also with Siyah kernel as mentioned above.
I've tried 4 different USB-cables, and two different Windows 7 computer. Also I've reinstalled one of the computers to try a little more. No success.
This tells me that there is something with the Siyah kernel that borks the phone somehow. Yet it seems possible to fix it since I can access the "Downloading Mode". Dont you think? Anyone with similiar issues and maybe have a solution for this?
And if there is no software solution to this is it possible that a USB-JIG would sort this out?
Sincerely,
Your problem is likely rom manager instead of siyah kernel or otherwise. Rom Manager does not work properly on our phone and is known to cause problems when installing things with it. Did you install drivers with the other computers you tried?
Went through this today too. My fault for using Siyah
Don't freak out, just grab Odin 1.85, and flash the noob-proof build available in the Discussion thread from Download Mode.
Your data will be wiped btw. A safer way would be to flash the Recovery via Odin, and once in recovery, reflash CM9.
The lesson of the story is to not use Siyah, as it's not supported under CM9

That's not true. There's a whole thread full of people using Siyah and CM9 here.

Well I am kinda freaking out since the device keeps showing up as "Unrecognized Device"! So I am not able to flash anything since it doesnt show up anywhere. I cant do anything to touch the phones software. Its just b0rked I guess.
I actually have the same problem with a S2 LTE which suffered from the same symptoms as stated above. Im starting to suspect maybe a crappy USB cable is the underlying reason for this, causing the usbport on the phone to fry or something.
Did you install drivers with the other computers you tried? Yes sir I installed the proper drivers there aswell.
I tried flashing the latest RC of cm9 and it went well even though i have siyah as the kernel. You shouldn't have flashed through rom manager. I flashed it through recovery

I hate ROM Manager. Is some app that I will never trust. The only purpose of ROM Manager: money, and placebo [you think it's the easiest way to flash stuff]. Can't find out why they put this in the ROM. At least they could make some OTA download. What is the Software update for at settings? Don't know...
ROM manager is crap. Never use it. That is what caused the issue. I am using CM9 based ROM with Siyah without any problem.

So what are you suggesting I should use instead? I'm hoping to return
the phone in topic when ive jigged it and demand a new one since there is still warranty hehe.
Don't use Rom Manager with kernels which have CWM/CWRecovery I.E. Siyah, CWM is more than capable of doing all the flashing/backups/restores/etc you need. If you end up using CM9 & Siyah again, make sure you freeze Rom Manager with TI or similar.

So the weirdest of things just happened. I left the phone discharging with the download mode active during the night. Today I bought a new phone (4100SEK /$585USD) and I thought maybe, just maybe it works now. I put the device in Download Mode and now popped it into the computer with the same cable as yesterday. And there it was "Device installed successfully!". Holy ****. Fired up Odin v1.85 and just pushed that damn recovery image onto the phone and bam! Rebooting, works like a charm. Now thats just f**king unbeliveable. But of course this wouldnt have happened if I DIDNT buy a totally new phone. The irony.
Moderator you may close this thread and save it for future reading.

Apologies if this has been asked before, or if it is a noob question, but I couldn't find my exact problem on XDA or on Google.
I need to return my S3 for warranty purposes but it developed problems after rooting. I had rooted it using the Samsung Galaxy S3 Rootkit 4.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488. I installed the insecure kernel but I did not yet install CWM or a custom ROM. I updated to BLG8 via Kies this morning.
Following the video guide on the sticky on the stock ROM page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610), I used Triangle Away to reset the binary count. This is where it went wrong.
I no longer have access download mode - it simply boots normally. I am pressing home, vol down then power. Without download mode, I cannot use ODIN to install stock firmware to return the device to stock and remove the modified tag. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Dou you haw recovery??flash rom from recovery.

Thanks, but I didn't install recovery. Is it possible to install recovery without using download mode? Sorry, I'm new to the SG3 and I don't want to experiment without asking first while I'm in a stick situation
Try clockwork recovery from market

try one of this:
1) pull battery, ready your finger at volume down, home, and power. then insert battery.
2) usb jig.
if successful, use cf-root to gain root, then try triangle again.

You are a lifesaver. Method 1 has worked and I am in download mode. Fingers crossed that the rest of the process runs smoothly.
Edit: Great news, everything is back to stock. Status normal, flash counter 0. When I got into download mode, it showed that Triangle Away had worked so there was no need to repeat it. I have ordered a USB jig for a few £ - money well spent if it is ever needed.

Hello everybody.
I sent my Galaxy S3 to battery, and it was ok. The problem was my phone was rooted, so they flashed a JB version, the build number is XDLH6.
My question is, how can I downgrade to ICS so I can root the device, reset the binary counter, and get the device status back to Normal, so when the official JB comes out, I can update it through Kies.
If you have a way to do all that(get the device status back to Normal without the downgrade thing) I would love to hear it.
Thx for your help and time guys, this forum rocks!

To downgrade, download any ICS ROM (or just stock rom) from here.
To reset binary counter, use TRIANGLE AWAY app, also available on this forum (just search for it on google if you have difficulty).
For completely removing root, first use triangle away app and reset binary counter.
Then download stock rom (search on google or on this forum) and flash with odin (also look for tutorial on this forum only).
Hope this helps.
Good Luck
You still can use cf-root to root your device and use triangle away to reset the counter.
Then if you want to wait for OTA, find your ics firmware at sammobile and flash it with odin

Many thanks! But I just flashed the newest JB version, and the device status is back to Normal. In the binary count it still says yes, but the others two are official(don't know why, but i'm not complaining ) and I will root and reset the binary count. And again, thx for your help!
Now I have another annoying problem. In my lock screen, Help Text is shown, although I disabled it. It always says Swipe over a shortcut to open an app.
How can I disable this????????

Hi all, I recently rooted my Verizon galaxy s4 i545vrufng6 4.4.2 and ever since I did I have had some issues. The way I did it was by flashing the ng5 kernel and using towelroot then reflashing ng6. After I did that my wifi was stuck on the dull green light but I read on a forum on how to fix that by going into the system and deleting one of the wifi files. After I did that everything worked fine for a few days! Then I went out of state and when I got on the airplane my phone was put on airplane mode, by the time I landed and took off airplane mode wifi wouldn't work at all. I tried to do the same thing I did earlier but it didn't work. Matter of fact, i cannot even find that file anymore Wifi will no longer even go dull green, i can hit it as many times as I want and it will stay in the off position. I thought if I flashed a custom rom it would restart the wifi, so I looked up how to install cyanogenmod and followed the YouTube vid from wwjoshdew (30minute). I didn't get through the whole thing because when my phone restarted it had an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the Samsung start up logo and when it went into recovery mode it came up with a yellow triangle saying that system software is not authorized by Verizon wireless. I can boot it up normally or I can go into download mode but I can't access recovery mode meaning I cannot do a factory reset. I took it to Verizon and they said they couldn't help me cuz I void the warranty. If anyone could please help me get my phone back to normal I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!

Sooooo.... you soft bricked your phone by flashing an unsupported ROM on your particular firmware. Cynanogenmod or ANY OTHER pure AOSP Rom is not compatible with firmwares later than MDK. Don't do that again.
You need to flash one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 in Odin. Instructions are in the thread. You are going to be downgrading back to NC5 (the firmware version before NG6). This may fix your wifi issues as well.

Towelroot.com will work for you as far as root goes as long as you stay on NC5 firmware. Just download the APK, install it and go into the app to "make it rain"...profit.

I am folowing this walktrough-> joyofandroid.com/how-to-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s3 but I'm allready stuck at Triangle away message "SuperUser access is needed, but could not be acquired. Are you rooted and did you give premission?"
Can't find any solutions... ideas?

Well I personally didn't get much from rooting my phone (pokemon go for 3 days and thats it xD).
Right now my phone is laggy as **** (have some version of nightly on it), and I don't use much apps, only calling and texting. So I want everything back to stock and see how much longer this phone will last.
Thanks

Regardless of what is on the phone, put it into download mode and flash the stock ROM in Odin.
