This is how i did it while running old ics. Place phone into download mode, launch kies and connect your phone. Kies will try to connect but won't (mine didn't anyway) don't even pay attention it trying to connect. Now go to tools and select "firmware upgrade and initialization" once you click that you'll now need tl input your phones serial and model numbers...you can get these by pulling the battery out, the numbers are behind the battery. You can pull the battery while its connected to pc via usb and your phone will not shut down, or you could just write them.down before hand. You must input all characters in upper case letters including the i on the model name. Once those are there go a head and click ok, you'll than have a few prompts afterwords...yes/no prompts, i believe i clicked yes on all of them. Than sit and wait, 5 minutes or so later you should be on official ics. If this fails make 100%sure the serial and model were put in right and do.a flash counter to safe.

Triangle Away only works on ICS-based ROMS.
If you don't have ICS installed, I would suggest getting a USB jig since that resets your counter to 0.
If you have ICS and are rooted, you can download Triangle Away directly to your phone (play store charges you $3 -.-) Chainfire has a thread here on XDA where you can download Triangle Away for free.
I have ginger bread rom, 2.3.3 back on it now. Not rooted. My usb port is messed up, so I cannot hook up to usb. Just to charge. So I was hoping there was a way to check the counter before I send it into see what they say

You need a USB jig to reset the counter. You can buy one for $3 on Amazon
Will it work even with my usb port issue?

Boot to download mode. It will not display a count at all if your count is zero. Otherwise you'll see a count if a non-Samsung signed kernel was ever flashed to that phone.

Yes. You turn off your phone and insert the USB jig. Your phone will automatically boot into download mode and erase the flash counter.

Not a definite, actually. If his usb port is jacked, there it's a possibility it won't work.
Ok. I checked in download mode. It says one count. If I send it for service, chances are it won't be covered with thatone count on there, correct?

I know that, but it's better to try out first and it's only $3.
Since he's on 2.3.3, he still has the old bootloaders.

do exactly, will not require usb. if you got a rooted phone
check you have i9100 not i9100G
root your phone
install mobile odin
flash stock ICS ROM from sammobile / checkfus [not the intratech's]
flash using mobile odin
afterboot root the ics using cf-root
install triangleaway and remove counter / triangle [double check if download mode and triangle away says same thing about counter]
now flash your region stock GB back using mobile odin
now you are on stock GB without counter and triangle.
now wipe using *2767*3855# to finish the update and fix csc and stuff.

Try to go to download mode. First Power off. Then hold vol down+home+power buttons together. Then at the prompt press vol up. Note the details like counter and system status and report here.
If binary flash counter is no, just factory reset by going to settings> backup&reset> factory reset
(Backup your data first)
If binary flash counter is not no, you need to use triangle away, but you need to root for that first.
Hit thanks if I helped you.

If factory reset does not clear either visit a service centre or flash a stock rom via odin.
But as you joined XDA might as well ignore it as you will no doubt flash a custom rom .

Obligatory do research before asking questions statement
Now that that is over do a search on google or here for Odin 3.04, then go to sammobile.com, sign up. Then hook your phone up to kies and see what your country code is, that will tell you what region your phone was made for, you should get a three letter code. Do a google search for that. After you know what region/provider your phone was intended for you can go to sammobile and download the right rom. Once the rom is downloaded put your phone in download mode (volume down, home button, power button held down until galaxy s iii show up, then let go. Press Volume up to get into download mode). Extract Odin on your computer, if on windows 7 run as admin, hook your phone to your computer via data cable/charging cable. Odin should recognize your device. Select pda, and go to the folder that contains your rom (will have to extract the rom as well as it will likely be zipped). Select the file, should have a .tar extension. Once that is loaded in the pda slot hit the start button, Odin should take over automatically. Do not touch the phone until it reboots.

With your first flash, I'd advise you to watch a Youtube video side-by-side so that nothing goes wrong! Just make sure that the downloaded files are correct, you have put them where they belong in ODIN, and that nothing interrupts the flashing process.
Sorry, my internet is really slow right now so I can't send you a link to a Youtube video. Just search on how to install a custom ROM for the Galaxy S3. Once you're done, you'll be flashing custom ROMs and what-not! It's a lot of fun!
Thanks guys and appreciated for your time and help. Thank God factory rest fixed it so no hustle at all. Yay

Hi,
To preface this, I have never posted on a forum before as I have always been able to find people with similar problems. However, this time I am stuck.
I had my I777 rooted and running the Task650 aokp JB rom. Everything was working great. Then I decided to get greedy and tried to dual boot an ICS rom in order to get MHL capabilities. (Shostock ICS) I used this thread as a guide. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890274) I did not realize that it was for the Note 2, not the S2...
However, I think I still could have gotten myself out of trouble if my phone had not run out of power during installation. The phone abruptly shut off, and when it came back on, the Samsung logo appeared for a second before slowly fading out to a distorted white screen. I cannot get into recovery mode, it only shows the white screen when it is plugged in, and my computer will not recognize it. (I should note that computer never recognized it when it was running jelly bean, but I never bothered to fix it.)
I took the battery out overnight and tried it in the morning. no change. I left it plugged in all day, this caused it to get very hot and I quickly unplugged it.
I have posted a YouTube video that briefly shows the boot loop and the white screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEuR3qn9Grs&feature=youtu.be
The most recent fix I have tried was ADB Portable, but my computer did not recognize the phone.
I'm out of ideas and desperate. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Did u try to get into recovery with the button combo...without the micro usb plugged in ? (I see u had it plugged in in the video).
Can u get into download mode ? Gotta jig ? And if yes, then u will need to flash a stock firmware.

Yes I have tried the button combo without it being plugged in, but only after its been sitting on the charger for awhile. Still get the white screen. Can't get into download mode, no response from the computer whatsoever. Not sure what a jig is/means.

Say I am able to get it into download mode, can I just reflash my old jelly bean rom?
Nope. U will have to flash a Stock firmware with Odin or Heimdall.
Then if successful, u can move on to flashin a cwm kernel and then a dev rom.

Ok, thanks. Just ordered a jig. Will update when it gets here. Does it matter if the stock firmware is GB or ICS? I cant remember what it had on it before I flashed the JB rom.
Doesn't matter...GB or ICS. Whichever u want to choose.
Just don't do a wipe data/factory reset on the ICS firmware i777ucle5 with the stock le5 kernel, because of the potential eMMC brick bug. See the stock firmware threads for more info. And yep, keep us posted on what happens.
Later.

Phone should boot into download mode and should be detected by pc and can be flashed via odin. Good luck with it
