I just picked up a used S3 and tried rooting using S3 Toolkit. I loaded the .tar in Odin3 and everything seemed to go fine, got a green PASS square. But the phone will not boot past the sammy logo. I can get back to download option. In download mode the top left shows:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (7 counts) I've tried a few times to flash the .tar
CURRENT BINARY: Custom

I used this guide to try flashing both the secure and insecure .tar:

I'm in the process or downloading the 779mb firmware form the samware site.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have an International Galaxy S3 quadcore or US Dual core S3. If not Inetrnational exynos quadcore cpu you`re in the wrong Forum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pull the battery,wait for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery and reboot in download mode and flash CF-Root with Odin v3 3.0.4 for superSU, CWM and busybox. See item 1 in my signature how to do it. After you`re rooted instal Triangle Away from the same CF-Root thread and reset the binary counter from 7 to 0.
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: Enable
In your post says you are in the wrong forum see sticky top of the page .
Do not flash any firmware this is a different phone .
Take advice from the correct forum .
jje
Yes, bone head mistake on my part. I searched for Samsung Galaxy S3 and ended up in the non-Verizon forum. Stupid me.
Luckily I was able to get it all sorted once I found the right forum.

Hello all you experts out there i need some help if at all possible,
I have been flashing my galaxy s2 and have clocked up a binary count of 12 and would like to reset to 0.
I used odin and re-flashed to stock I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1
then did a factory re-set.
then plugged in kies and it automaticly updated to latest firmware XWKI4.
Then i turned phone off booted in to download mode and inserted my jig to reset the counter but it didn't work.
what am i doing wrong????

Use Ctrl-F in your browser to find the description for GT-I9100_OLD_BOOTLOADER.7z. Download it and flash it using Odin, then use your jig to reset the binary counter.
You should change your bootloader to an old one.. New bootloaders are not reseting counter..
Here is the old one:

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Thanks to all for the help
i'll certainly look at mobile odin, but how do i use this ctrl thingy
Put jig in before rebooting normally (not into download mode) the device with jig in will automatically boot into download mode. If you are on old bootloader it will reset.
If not intratech has the old bootloader for download in his official firmware thread. Read down from 1st post till you find it. Instructions are there also.

Before this my phone was already rooted.
I tried to upgrade to LPM stock rom, so i used odin to flash latest LPM stock rom, after restarted, it stuck at the startup Samsung screen,
then i guess it may also need to flash the cf-root LPM in order for it to fully startup, unfortunately the cf-root LPM has yet available.
After that i flash the LPG stock rom because i have the cf-root LPG. Then followed by flashing the cf-root.
No luck, same happening that my SGS2 also stuck at the startup Samsung screen.
In my download mode::
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9100
CUSTOMER BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
Really sorry for above mistake, i am really still too noob,
My problem is, i can't go to recovery mode to wipe date or to clear cache and my phone now is dead
Please, anyone can help me, i really really appreciate. :crying:
Flash 4.0.3 through Odin and next time be careful for leaked ROMs.
You can also reset flash counter by using Traingle Away app.
First root then use triangle away to clean costum binery count easy

Did u Flash the leaked russian firmware 4.0.4
and
can u atleast get ur phone in download mode
LPM = Russian 4.0.4
"In my download mode:" = he can enter Download Mode.
Read posts with more attention.
I have an issue similar to this, i rooted my SGS2 i9100T which worked, but it did something to my SD card and i couldn't move apps to it, and some apps wouldn't download unless i unmounted it.
So i unrooted it with that supersu app, and reset my phone to factory default, now it wont even root again, it goes through the process but root checker says it isn't rooted, and the custom binary download keeps going up, at 4 now!
Sorry if this sounds noob, but I'm a newbie for android phone system.
I thought if I flash the kernel using mobile odin pro won't increase the flash count, but it did.
I reset the flash count using triangle away, it was a success.
but after a reboot, the flash counter back to 1 and Binary is custom.
Anyone know what happen and help me with a workaround?
However, have to agreed that the Siyah kernel works well and increase phone performance.
Phone: I9300
ROM version: JB 4.1.1 stock ROM
CWM version: CWM Touch 6.0.1.9 (may not related but just provide as much info as possible)
Siyah kernel version: 1.8.4 (File name: Siyah-s3-v1.8.4.tar)
Mobile Odin Pro version: 3.57
Triangle Away version: v2.36
Thanks.

Next time flash via CWM.
and just try again. Some phones don't go lower than 1 if you have a custom kernel. Mine does go to 0 even with custom rom and kernel.
you mean i can reflash siyah kernel again using cwm?
anyway, mobile odin pro was recommended by siyah kernel maker, and i brought it from play store just to flash the kernel.
it did do a good job.
Yes you can flash again. Like any other program does, it will overwrite files.

thanks. i'll try it tonight see whether this reset the flash count.

I don't think it will reset flash counter. If you want to reset flash counter then you will have to use TriangleAway. Here is a video tutorial by xda member.

have done it before i created this thread, was success to reset the counter, but after a reboot back to 1 again.
Edit:
I recall that when I use triangle away to reset the flash count, it did not reboot my phone into a special environment to reset the counter.
Is this normal?

If you open TriangleAway and it can detect your current counter status then it will not take you to download mode before flashing counter.
It will only ask for confirmation (in popup). And you are done.
If TriangleAway can not detect your current counter then while flashing it might go to download mode.
I think it's rom specific. in some rom it does that and in some roms it does not.
I just tried resetting my counter, and everything went fine. Now I am on 0.
What is your counter in download mode? Confirm it's correct and same as in TriangleAway.

maybe i do it now right in front of my PC.
1. Power off my phone
2. Boot to download mode (volumn down + power + home button)
3. It reads
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR][/B]
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
4. Ok, now i long press power button to reboot.
5. Opened my Triangle Away, status tab is
Code:
[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 1
Binary: Custom
Device: GT-I9300
6. Looks like it is tally, alright, i tab the Reset flash counter to reset now.
7. Tab Continue on the confirmation message.
8. Message appear "Flash counter has been reset!".
9. Go back to Triangle Away again, now the status bar reads
Code:
[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 0
Binary: Official
Device: GT-I9300
10. Power off my phone
11. Boot to download mode again(volumn down + power + home button)
12. Now it reads
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR][/B]
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
13. Again, long press power to reboot
14. Notice a small red dot on left top screen before Siyah boot logo was showed, when the screen shows my phone model (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300)
15. Open Triangle Away again, the Current Status tab shows
Code:
[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 1
Binary: Custom
Device: GT-I9300
So, does this means that the siyah kernel was detected when i boot up my phone and thus increase the flash count?
hmmm.. that is strange.
Although I am not using stock rom but I am also on Siyah Kernel 1.8.4 and I could just easily flash my counter without any issue.
This could be device/rom specific issue and also beyond my knowledge.
I hope someone can suggest you a solution and you get everything working.
this is amazing!
with the guide from XDA forumers i have flash an old bootloader to my phone and problem solved!
You guys rocks!

Use triangle away to reset counter. Newer bootloaders (4.1.2) increase the counter every boot. Either put up with it or search here for downgrading your bootloader

Hello!
I soft bricked my Samsung Galaxy s3 GT-I9300
I don't know how...
I tried flashing cutom roms, stock roms and kernels...nothing works
ODIN says: NAND write start!! Then it fails everytime.
So i'm looking forward to send it back to the service centre as it is supposedly still on warranty. To benefit from the warranty, the custom binary download should be "No".
My phone can still go into download mode, recovery mode is inaccessible.
In download mode it sayS:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (5 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
Is there any way I can reset the custom binary download to "No" ?
PS: According to some videos on YouTube, USB jigs only get the phone in download mode, it does NOT reset the custom binary download counter.
Please help me, thank you.

Sorry, you can only use triangle away before failure. After failure, there is nothing that anyone can do.
Please let this be a lesson to people. Keep on top of your Custom download with Triangle away

did you try flashing twrp recovery?
I own a Galaxy S4 locked to AT&T. I had my phone rooted and i was running on 4.4.2 through OTA update with NI1 baseband. I also had installed safestrap as my recovery. I was trying to unlock my phone and a guide said to downgrade to NB1 and so i downgraded to NB1 through odin as I read. After doing so my phone was stuck on the AT&T logo while booting. So i tried to flash back to NI1 but the phone went to a bootloop with and i still had 'custom' below the samsung logo when it booted. I tried to fix it with Kies but it failed to fix it and now all i get is ' Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I tried to fix it through Kies emergency firmware recovery and also through Kies firmware upgrade and initialisation and after downloading the firmware it shows it encountered and unknown error and when it does not show anything in the list below in recovery window. I tried flashing NI1 stock recovery and kernel as well as NC1. But couldn't fix it. I also tried to see how to get rid of odin mode but still i failed to fix it.
At the top of the screen after turning it on it says:
ODIN MODE (shows in red color)
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

eMC BURST MODE enabled (Last two lines are in gray color and every lines except the first is in white color)
In download mode when kies fails two more lines in red are added :

SV REV. CHECK FAIL : fused , Binary : 1

It's not uncommon to have to do a factory reset after doing an Odin restore. I'd use it to reflash the latest version and use the stock recovery to reset and then try to reboot.

I tried to. i can not flash stock recovery back. it says pass in odin but when it boots up it says custom and gets stuck in a boot lop for sometime then shuts it self down. Am i doing something wrong? Did I flash an outdated stock recovery or something? I wanted to odin NI1 but i couldnt find complete odin files for it just found rooted ones.

I think that update is only available via OTA file. Looks like you should still be able to do NB1. Check here for details on the upgrade path suggested:
