well samsung very rarely reject warranty replacements these days because of the flash counter, they tend to use this number for internal statistics only.
However they do have the right to reject it if they wish, for this reason it is always best, if you can, to reset the value.
But if you can't you can always try to send it in.

Yes I believe so.
I once sent S2 back to replace the screen. I unrooted the phone but forgot to reset counter, but they repaired it for free anyway. I did hear some people got rejected because their phone was rooted, but they were told to unroot and send it back again.

Please help! my i9100 dunno why suddently unable to turn on wifi, click wifi button it just stuck there.
It has happend to me occasionally... its when i switch from one wifi to another...like from home to work or vice versa...while being on mobile network in between...
i have had to restart the phone.
maybe a bug in OS... dunno
I can confirm that the same happens to me. Atr first I thought it was just me because of my custom rom, but after reading the above I'm not so sure anymore...
Anyway my solution was to restart the phone, it went back to normal.
First rule of technology: if something doesn't work, turn off device and then turn back on again.

You can also try making a full backup, doing a full wipe, then re-flashing your rom or even try with a different rom to see if the problem persists. Could also be kernel related, so you could always try a different kernel to test it.

Try to unplug your router for 10 seconds and plug it back in. Then forget the wifi connection and reconnect to it.

No it's not a problem with anyone's router in this case... Wifi devices other than phone should be working fine as does in my case..
Fiddling with the router is a distraction than being root cause.

have did a full wipe,wipe every thing! have tried different kernel different modem and also have restart my router but simply cant solve the problem.
I believe it should be hardware problem
Well if you tried everything, flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com, and send your device off to a Samsung Repair Centre. It sounds like a hardware problem after everything you have done.

now i just worried about samsung may not want to give me a free of charge repair under warranty condition due to the reason that i have rooted my phone.
so now i have flashed back to stock rom and hoping that samsung wont mind lol
Make sure you remove your SD Card when you send it off, and just to be safe use a USB Jig to remove any traces of a custom binary counter and the use of Odin.

Using a JIG is a lot more safer if you aren't sure. Triangle Away can easily brick your device if you don't know what you are doing.

ok,thank for the reply!
Hello to all. I have a problem that seems quite serious and I do not know what to do.
Basically, I tried to install on my phone firmware Mozilla Boot to Gecko, through recovery of kernel siyah v5.0, doing a restore of the file found on this page: harjunpaa.fi/B2G/
Of course, the firmware, which is in pre-alpha, is full of bugs. Among these, during calls, my partner could not hear my voice.
I then decided to run a deep clean to go back to android. So I went into recovery and I noticed that I had ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4, which is indicated on the first page above to perform the restore. So, instead of proceeding with the deep clean, I tried again to do a restore through this recovery.
The process actually lasted a bit 'more time than the first, and I thought then that I was doing the right thing.
Finished everything I restarted the phone, but nothing. Black screen. Then I removed the battery and tried to turn it on normally, but nothing. The phone does not even go into recovery or download mode. I also tried to force the download mode by inserting the jig key, but still nothing.
At this point I find myself with a brick that will not start in any way and do not know what to do. Of course, before I do this, I loaded the battery to 100%, so there is no danger that it is unloaded.
Please, I'm desperate, help me.
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.
JTAG repair (if possible) or service centre. Can't see what else you could possibly do given you're getting absolutely nothing from the phone & you've tried a jig.

What is JTAG repair?
Its about £150 cheaper than a mobo replacement.
Do you have warranty.

I think your problem was that you had your phone discharge. My problem, unfortunately, is far more serious.
If it cant start(in any mode),and you have warranty,then samsung will replace the mobo.
i have warranty, but i have the phone rooted, so don't know if I can use it. however I have reset the counter with triangle away.
Send it to Samsung/authorised repairer & see what happens.

Why didn't you charge it at first? If you read the guides you were supposed to have at least 50% of battery.

Hey mate, sorry to hear about your phone. If you're getting the charging animation it's not dead.
The discription that i had didnt say anything about batterys percentage anyays its fine now i got it back

if I send the phone to samsung and I can not take advantage of the guarantee, do they warn me before repair?
If you removed the triangle and did a counter reset, then they can't do anything than repairing your mobile phone. What reasons do they have for refusing repair? Rooting files on your phone? Well they can't look up on what you have stored on your phone, you know, data privacy and stuff...

Hi there!
After trying to flash SGS2 i9100 to ICS with KIES phone got bricked... It doesn't charge and boot. When I try to power on, it begins to vibrate until I pull out the battery. Download mode not working, the screen stays black.
Can I somehow fix it or the only way is to bring it to the service center?
Send it to the service centre anyway they do a great job so you may aswel. And you know it will be fine once you get it back

It won't be covered by warranty, so before paying I'd like to know if I could fix it by myself
I set mine to the service centre when it wasnt under warranty and they did it for free...

It will. Tell the that Kies update broke it and play dumb.
I don't understand why first you try the hard way and not even considering the option to get it repaired effortlessly and free.

There is nothing wrong with the USB jig, Its not resetting your counter because you have updated bootloader.
You can only reset via the jig when using old GB bootloader version.
Im kind of noob at these things, So i need a bit of a walk through if one does come up with a solution.
I have a tmobile HTC Amaze 4G I bought used. And it has a problem restoring... It wont restore at all. It says, the PH85IMG is missing/ Cant open cache/recovery/command. When i try factory restoring, after it starts, It shows an andriod device on the screen with a red triangle and exclamation point in the middle. And another thing.. The phone reboots ALOT . and after it reboots, Everything i downloaded or did to the phone disapears, Like it didnt happened. And the language changes back to how he had it, And his contacts come back and everything,
What should i do?

When you get to the screen with the red triangle and exclamation point, try holding down the volume up+power button at the same time and see if anything happens
