If i have a custom rom on my s3 would a factory wipe through kies be enough to wipe my device clean and go back to as it was fresh out the box?

If u want to reset binary counter so its not evident to see its ever been flashed with a custom rom. Get triangle away, google search it or something. U need this to claim warranty or insurance

Just go to www.sammobile.com/firmware, register and download the rom you need and install with Odin. First reset the flashcounter before flashing and after you flashed the rom do a factory reset.

No, u need to reset flash counter before flashing stock rom as u will lose root and have to reroot with Odin..
the flash counter doesn't increase when flashing stock firmware from samfirmware

This app can reset your flash counter and triangle on ICS builds.

What was unclear about this? It removes the custom binary flash counter, the one you see if you've flashed a non Samsung kernel from download mode, and also the corresponding indicator (triangle) when you boot your phone afterwards.

So don't flash anything, stick to stock, and wait for official updates via Kies.
I don't have triangle... I removed it using some other method... I have 2 counter.. but I just want to know why the need of reseting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Resetting the flash counter isn't 'necessary'. But if you ever want to send your phone in for warranty service, not resetting the flash counter before you send it in for service might well mean you end up paying for your phone to be repaired/replaced rather than having same done on Samsung's dime.
Clear ?

Samsung warranty .
Void if custom rom or rooted phone or root apps or custom rom counter above zero .
Its as simple as that .
USB recovery jig can set custom rom to zero but not on later firmware with newer bootloader such as beta ICS .

Guys... I'm planning to give my mobile to the samsung service to claim the guarantee coz my mobile home button have become very hard to press...
So I backuped the official Rom which came with my handset... Even flashed official Kernel to remove the recovery.. but Root didn't even Removed ... how is that possibl...? Is there any way?
I even worked with Triangle away to remove the flash counter and triangle...

just reflash the offical rom, from odin and everything will be removed and will be stock
Are you able to perform any actions that require root? Or are those apps just there, without the ability to perform their designated functions (example: restoring a back-up via Titanium Back-up)?

well if you flash orignal firmware via odin the counter will not be increase
counter increase only After root the firmware.
flash Only rom it will remove yellow icon and will not increase Counter
I think the firmware which you are flashing is not full wipe.Follow this:
1)Flash lpq or any other ics firmware and let it reboot and see if the root is still present if not
2)Now flash Indian firmware which was shipped with your phone.

Once used triangle away to reset flash counter then go to recovery and do a factory reset(full wipe), remove battery, go into download mode, flash DDKL1 full firmware of some 300 mb and don't flash anything else(flashing stock firmware don't increase flash counter

I have a question. If i update my s3 via OTA, does it mean i'm updating to a stock rom? Will it affect my rooting or whatsoever? And can i downgrade if i want to?

Yes and yes. But you can easyly reroot with CF-Root. Or you can flash the firmware with mobile odin pro then your root is untouched. Yes you can flash other firmware to downgrade.
Firmwares can be downloaded at sammobile.com or checkfus
If you update via OTA firmware stocks of your s3 , you will receive an update of your firmware stock samsung, updates are no wipe , you can make a downgrade with ODIN ....
I have another question. I'm enroute to flashing the omega rom on my phone. If the official jellybean comes out, what do i do? Install via KIES? My phone will still be in the rooted stage right?

As soon as official jellybean drops there will be a custom ROM out within hours, and the firmware will be available at samfirmware.com as soon as it is released.
You'll have loads of options.
The custom ones will be pre-rooted, the stock one from samfirmware can be rooted with cf-root. (The leaked one can so I presume official one will too)

That isnt the problem heh. I always backup my data before flashing.
By the way, my version of triangle away, I cannot see the flash status when i load up the app. I have to go into download mode to view my flash counter. Any ideas?

[Q] I have some unknown apps installed after I unroot my device & flash back my ROM
Hello everybody~
I have some unknown apps installed after I unroot my device & flash back my ROM~
The screenshots are in attachments~
I don't know why it was installed, and it can't be deleted even when I did Factory Reset~
Did I flash back the incorrect ROM or what??
My ROM was I9300XXBLH1 STH(Singapore Starhub)
Can anybody help me with it?
Where are the screenshots?

It's in ATTACHED THUMBNAILS~
Because I'm from Singapore, I thought I've found the correct firmware, but my firmware should be PDA-LH1/PHONE:LH1/CSC:LH1(STH) that shown on my Kies last time before I root, but now it is not~
Now I'm very scared that my phone will have something bad happen~ >_<
