Hi guys, there is a wifi problem with my phone currently. WIFI randomly disconnected and reconnected in about 5 seconds, and I am afraid it is a hardware problem, so I decide to handover it to the vodafone repair center. However, my phone has been rooted before, so I was wondering if after I install the TriangleAway and reset flash counter then the repair center wouldn't know I've rooted my phone? Do I have to do anything else to make sure? Thanks very much.

yes, I did everything, even tried to change the modem in my house, but no use. I guess it's the hardware problem. So after I install the stock rom and reset the flash counter, then I can have my warranty back?

my phone had hanged twice already. but the only way i could revive it was to took out my battery. but the bad side was my message app would have error after that and there is no way to revive that issue other than factory reset, which is very very troublesome.
is there any solution on how should i resolve the problem of phone hanging totally?
It sounds like it's a flash problem you should just do a sony repair or reflash All over again an read/watch videos to make sure you got it right.

Hi all, I figured this was the best place to ask this question as you lot seem to know alot
On friday evening my UK GS3 was updated to 19300XXBLFB via kies since then 90% of the time i make a phone call i get a com.android.phone stopped working message, if i press ok the call hangs up if i dont then i can still talk.
I cant recieve any calls as my phone just freezes, I have tried a factory reset and even tried a firmware and initilisation thing through kies but the problem is still happening.
I dont know if i could *flash* my phone and if i could would it solve the problem and or affect my warranty?
Cheers:crying:

Just 're flash it with Odin

Backup data and factory reset first .
You can if not fixed try flashing the firmware for your phone or a stock Samsung rom from the stock rom threads ,
Ignore root and custom rom fix .

do a factory reset. see if that fixes it. if not reflash. if none of the above works, try another firmware. if still fail, exchange your phone.

For you, a simple fix would be to back up all your settings, information, etc through kies. And then factory reset your phone in the settings and have it delete "everything."
Then sync all your apps, settings, contacts, etc through kies. Give this a try.
Later on if you feel more comfortable with hacking and flashing after doing tons of research, and I recommend doing a lot of research by reading all the stickie topics here. Then go right ahead. It does void your warranty but you can undue the hacks.
Thanks guys, I've just found that there is a repair center about a hour away so will be popping in there as soon as I can and I will call Samsung tomorrow and see what they advise
Don't use kies, its rubbish, broke my sgs1, stick to odin, flash latest stock for your area after full wipe, will be fine

If you've backed up your contacts and used Facebook contact sync app then simply don't restore your contacts after a factory reset. Worked for me

Hi,
While i was trying to reset flash/binary counter, i click reset counter n after some process, phone switched off.. i waited a little while to reboot but it didn't. then, i switched on by myself but when samsung galaxy logo appears, it died.. i tried many times but couldn't go after that.. then i tried to boot in recovery mode but it also didn't worked. thankfully i could boot in download mode and had root with odin [CMW 6.4] to run recovery mode n it worked. but after rooting my s3, i switched on n see pin code screen.. then, i realized the main issue "my touchscreen is not working" !! i don't know how it happen but phone looks fine, rom is working well but touchscreen is not working.
At first, i boot in recovery mode n wipe all data (factory reset), cache n dalvik cache and with a great hope, restarted my s3 but still had same issue. then, i remember i had a nandroid backup n i boot in recovery mode again. i restored it n restarted. but even i get back my previous settings, touchscreen still doesn't work. i can see wallpaper n then pin code screen but i can't do anything. it doesn't respond my touch n screen goes black. only vol. up/down, home n power buttons working. i guess
don't know to solve this mess. my s3 is a SHV-E210K n i got 4.1.1 JB. There're much people who use this device so that i couldn't find any solution. if somebody can help me to get out from this trouble, gonna be appreciated.
waiting your help guys, thanks in advance.
i think we already have 4 with identical case, all you can do now is to go to samsung service center for warranty, i think the touchscreen panel or digitizer had been damage. check the triangleaway thread in gs2 forum they report their problem and solution there.

my mistake as i did not see where you live, i think not the actual touch panel was damaged but some other electronic parts in panel assembly has been damaged, i also waiting and hoping for possible software fix before i go to service center for warranty. but i think it is possible, do you know the emmc brick problem caused by flashing firmware that is a hardware damaged by software.
other guy with e210k in another thread already went to samsung service center for repair and they replaced the touchscreen.

hi,
today, i get my phone back n didn't repaired cos they offered to change led screen + touch screen n it costs around 400$.. so that, i didn't but there's no way to fix it with a software.. i'm looking for a cheaper solution
do u think they will samsung gonna accept to repair your phone with warranty? cos if they see that u rooted your device, it's out of warranty..
i think you have no other choice then, you can't revive dead electronic parts by software, just take your chance maybe they will not notice it, just tell them that your touchscreen is not functioning. just went to samsung service center this morning for my s3 e210k repair and they replaced my front cover and display assembly to a new one and it is running smoothly again. lucky me my counter is 0 and status is official that why didn't pay any charge.

yeah, you are really lucky n im convinced that i can't revive it with any software. i will send my device to warranty but still couldn't reset my counter. everything is official on odin mode but just counter says yes (9 counts). i connect usb mouse to my device via on the go usb cable n control all functions with mouse. i tried to use triangle away again but when it needs to reboot the device, samsung logo goes dead or goes crazy with different colours. everytime, i install CWM again to get back my device.
pls, someone tell me how to reset counter with triangle away! i created a folder in sdcard directory which named "triangleaway" n put there triangleaway v2.3.6 apk n param.tar then run the application. but it doesn't reboot the device, goes dead. don't know how to use param.tar file. what should i do for a proper reset? i need to reset countern then i will flash official firmware to send my device to warranty.

i think you cannot reset counter now as your touchscreen is not working, you need to use triangleaway apk to reset counter. try your luck if you have usb jig to reset it maybe it will work for you.
i think the best you can do now is to flash stock rom and send it to a/s and pray that they will not check the counter.
Don't try your like. It can be done. Has every one of you forgot that sgs3 supports a wired mouse? Just get a USB adaptor and conect a mouse to your phone. Than you can start triangle away.

No you still have chance of resetting counter as you can use usb otg, dont use triangleaway 2.36 again after flashing stock rom and root instead use triangleaway 2.2 to 2.30 it will work im sure as i use 2.2 without softbrick.

Hi
in last days my sgsIII start freezing few times in a day. I always must remove battery.
Factory reset doesnt help.
Wipe too.
I have reinstalled software and recovery through Samsung GS3 ToolKit but still nothing
I always install clean soft and root.
Once time I did a factory reset, the phone is launched and immediately freeze.

Try flashing stock firmware via odin (not any leaked firmwares) if freezing still happens the problem is propably in your mainboard and you should contact your reseller or samsung but remember if your binary counter isnt "no" you will have problems with warranty
hit the thanks button if i deserve it
check the freezing thread in General
Service centre said: In your phone, I found an unauthorized interference with the software. This is irreversible damage to the motherboard and not covered by warranty.

That could mean your phone voids warranty as its rooted or has a custom rom .
Did you not restore the phone and remove root first . If you did then the reply is not very clear .

I Was trying to restore but Triangle Away left 1 count and also I cant install 3 file soft by odin.
Odin has problem with connect with phone when I try 3 file soft, with 1 file I dont have this problem.
I know I asked you guys about this before, but since I don't want to bump that thread I thought of starting another one instead.
I'm at a loss as to why my mum's Xperia Go kept on hanging up and restarting, either after using it for some time, or by itself on occasion. It's been like that since we bought the device, and I didn't even root or tamper it at the time. Even after flashing a custom ROM the symptoms still persist, to which I'm suspecting that it might have something to do with a hardware defect or bug, but is it still possible to fix or at least work around the problem? I can send the phone to the local service centre if needed, but I'm not that arsed to shell some $$$ for having the phone fixed.
I'll see if I could turn up a logcat or dmesg log and paste it here for analysis.

If flashing ROM didnot help, I would advise you to just send it for warranty/service center. Trust me, the work around to fix it would be too frustrating than to actually fix the phone. Sometimes it takes over 9 hours straight in front of PC with no use....

Yeah, but what about the bootloader to which I tampered with? I know there's a way to relock it, but does it also work on the latest stock firmware?

Well, do you know about FLASHTOOL ?
Download it from here.
http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
It can lock your bootloader in a minute.
Also, you can just tell the service centre it hangs alot and restart. No need to tell them what you did with phone!
Good Luck
