Hi there!
I have an European P7500 3G tab, which came with firm version KH7. I recently installed version KI1 from samfirmware, and it changed my CSC from Spanish FOP to Italian ITV, as well as installing some Italian stuff.
My problem now is that I noticed I have Newton rings on my screen (shame on you, Samsung!!), and I want to take it to the Samsung Service Center, but I think warranty would be voided if I don´t return it to the original version.
Can anybody advise if it is possible to simply install an older stock version (say KG1 or KG7) from samfirmware on this newer version KI1? Would this method also unroot the tab?
Thanks!
I am in the same situation. Simply flash KG7 from samfirmware, but the question is, how to reset those flashcounter?
Does flashing a stock rom with odnin effect the flashcounter
No one answer? I really need the guide to unroot my tab p7500. All the instruction I found is for P7150 wifi version. I wonder whether I can use this step or not for my tab

Your branded phone provider could in theory refuse warranty .
But you are still covered by Samsung warranty .

It's been almost a month since left the ROM for Poland, and so far, just over 35 ROMs were released. Why so long? I'm in Brazil, here not even launched the Galaxy Note II already out and upgrade to Jelly Bean. Meanwhile, no sign of Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S3 in Brazil.
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place for my question.
Sorry for my English.
The Brazilian JB for S III might not be released until late January or Febrary.
Yet, when it is released, it will not be the latest version of JB, but one that is older than what other countries will have by then.
For your information, the Brazilian CSCs are: ZTA (Claro), ZTV (Vivo), ZTO (open / unbranded), ZTM (Tim) and ZVV (Oi).
You don't need, however, to wait for Samsung Brasil to do us a favor: just flash the UK unbranded (CSC -> BTU) ROM, using Odin3 and don't worry about it again.
All stock ICS and JB contains all languages (including Pt-BR) and the ROM I mentioned works flawlessly in Brazil. I am using it right now.

I know i could install any ROM ever released. But i do not want to put another ROM on my Galaxy S3. I want to keep it as original as possible. I had a Galaxy S2 before S3, and installed an uninstalled all ROMs as possible, but in my Galaxy S3 want to keep it original. I know it will not install official ROMs increment the counter. What i do no understand is why they are taking so long.
But i appreciate your explanation.
Thank you
Does your carrier have any kind of restriction for rooting and flashing your cellphone? If not, it's pretty much irrelevant what your binary counter says.
You can always reset the binary counter to 0 and set system to official using Triangle away if you're worried about warranty.

Why? What is the point of that?
You'll just have a device that is always outdated and with uncorrected bugs.

Hello, sorry for the (a bit) irrelevant question but does flashing through Odin the UK unbranded one (while I have another country's official ROM unmodified), increase my counter or ruin my warranty?

No. Install original ROM does not increment the counter.

I know, I just want to leave it as original as possible. On my Galaxy S2 I always installed by Odin ROMs without any problem and reset the counter with Triangle Away. But I really want to use the Jelly Bean, I'll install the ROM UK.
thank you

No, it doesn't. If you need to RMA the phone, just flash the ROM for your carrier/country and it's as original as it gets and THERE IS NO WAY they can find out you ever had a different ROM in there.
Do you do any changes to the rom? LIke CSC or modem?
Hey, I have been trying to return to stock, I've downloaded ODIN, but when came the time to pick a stock rom, I saw that there were quite a few stock roms for my phone (GT-19300 international) . I live in France, there are 4 operators: Orange (where I bought my phone and where I have my contract), Bouygues, SFR and NRJ, on Sammobile I saw there was a stock rom for NRJ, and I also found stock roms for the other operators (not on sammobile though, on tha site there was only the NRJ one), then came the question, do I need an orange stock rom, or the regular international one, does it matter? If it's any help, there isn't the orange logo on my phone, and I don't recall having orange apps on my phone when I bought it, but have a vague memory of me downloading a couple, although maybe anyone with a contract there can download them, I qish I could provide more information but nothing comes to mind :/ I'll try to answer all questions as best I can, thanks for answering quickly.
P.S. I'm using this guide to unroot, if you can think of a better one or if there's a problem with this one, I'd appreciate all suggestions, thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27407556
AnyI9300 rom on any I9300 phone .
Stock is just Samsung firmware usually by country basis .
Vendor roms are usually branded and may have addons from the network . Vendor roms will have the correct modem and CSC .

I have an S2 which I bought from Vodafone UK. It is running stock Android 4.1.2. I have had the phone unlocked by Vodafone themselves. I'm confused as to which kernel to use for rooting: the Siyah one or the Jeboo one because my phone has Vodafone UK firmware and I have included screenshots with all the details. Do I have to flash firmware that hasn't been modifed by Vodafone, or can I use one of the two kernels on the Vodafone UK firmware? I don't want to risk bricking it...

The firmware is not important. I would recommend Philz kernel by @Phil3759 to root as it still being developed and.....its just the best, you wont hear too many people saying anything negative about it.
