Hai there,
I've problem with system status in download mode, on rooted stock xeo jb rom on my gt-i9300.
System status: Samsung official - custom
First problem appears after updating system to jelly bean, cf root-ing and using triangle away - system status remains as listed above.
I've readed, that the problem isn't root, but custom recovery installed with cf.
So:
I flashed rom again, and rooted using s3 toolbox - clear root, without flashing reco. Used triangle away and... nothing. Still Samsung official - custom is showed.
Halp.

Hey, thanks for your reply!
I knew this trick before, but unfortunately, on jb it doesn't work for me. Today i followed those steps again:
Factory format - flash via Odin - flash root using s3 toolbox (w/o recovery) - TA - factory format
And still system/binary status is Samsung official - custom
note that factory format has been made by code.

Why not follow the steps i gave ..
Run TA
Flash STOCK firmware and factory reset after .
Possible of my method does not work its the root program you use .
Also see post regarding rom counter not resetting posted in the last few days .
jje
Does this method works with cf root?
After flashing rom and rooting shouldn't I use triangle before factory reset?

Repeat
Run TA ( you will obviously need to be rooted and i have no knowledge of any other root method bar CF Root )
Flash stock rom via Odin .
Reboot
Factory reset
Check status .
jje
Followed your steps - still the same :<
could you give me link to thread you talking about?

Stag I could be wrong but if you follow JJEgans steps you should be fine but the second u apply root after your fresh install youll get a custom status again. Also if your using mobile odin pro to flash stock rom youll more than likely have ever root selected and again this will keep the custom status as your newly flashed rom will have root.(i.e modified so custom)
That's the problem, on ics i could have official status with root, and working OTA, even with modified nfc.apk to trigger nfc while screen was off, just used TA...
On jb, after flashing cf or other root w/o custom recovery neither factory format and TA works... TA just resets flash counter and system status to Samsung official, but binary remains "custom", so automatically OTA stops working >.<

Hi everyone, today I've obtained XXBLFB by OTA on my samsung Galaxy s3 and before I was in lf2 with CF root (last version) .
Since I've updated I don't have superuser rights anymore on some applications, and finally I want to unroot my device, but SuperUser app is still on my phone, and the phone status is : Custom .
I was okay to flash stock kernel but I don't have it, there's only roms , if I re-flash the rom will the root delete himself ?
Because I just get the rom by ota and it's still here .
Please help :laugh:

You have to root your phone again with the latest CF Root and install TrianleAway 1.51 and reset the flash counter and reset the status. After reboot go in the SU app and delete root and reboot.
Ok thanks i'll do that , but CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip is not downloadable right now ? chainfire website isn't working ,do you have this file please ?

if you are unrooting for waranty purpose, just unrooting and unistalling root apps are not enough, you have to flash the stock firmware through ODIN, after reseting counter with Triangle Away. Samsung service center can make out by simply booting your phone, since T-Away can not reset the status of your phone showing "modified" in the status of the phone in about phone menu,
so just follow the steps for these mentioned by Chainfire in his CF-root thread
ZACQ8 is right, just hope your up to flashing with Odin.
Here is a tutorial how i did it:
If you want to use Odin first download a stock firmware from www.sammobile/firmware, pick the rom of your country and download it.
Extract it once from .rar to md5 file.
Readup a bit, it isn`t hard but there are a few things you must know:
1. Enable usb debugging on your phone
2. Go into downloadmode (volume down + power + menu all at the same time)
3. See if IDCOM light up yellow and in the left bottom window it says added when you connect your phone to the pc.
4. Unzip the downloaded file ONCE into a .tar or md5 file if you haven`t
5. Place that file in the PDA section.
6. Do not tick anything, only f.reset.time and autoreboot should be ticked.
7. Start
8. Rebooting automaticly.
Close Kies, also everthing Kies related in task manager before flashing!

I don't really understand, (i'm french) will I be able to totally delete root on my s3 or not ?
Chainfire website won't work
Before with my galaxy s2, event it was root in every firmware, I've reflash a stock firmware and warranty worked, impossible for S3 ?
and, btw I don't have any triangle or other thing, I just have flash counter
edit : finally i'll do that :
"- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official"
Thanks

Dude, as you told before, when you updated through OTA XXLF2 to XXLBFB your root access already desabled, your phone is no more rooted now,
tell me what you really want now, do you want to root your phone again???
EDIT : yes you have to follow the above steps to get a fully factory fresh phone...
I had to re-root because I need to use triangle away, but I want to clean my phone ,no more root, I will follow the step below
Thanks !
In fact: I tought it was impossible to get back my warranty
Thanks for all ! :good:

With wipe I lose usb storage too (internal) ,it's not like my galaxy s2 before but anyway , now status is "Normal"
Bascially got my galaxy S2 I9100 a few weeks ago , i am pretty familiar with android and know my way about , so the first thing i did was root stock ROM with Cf Root then the second thing i did was flash the Siyah Kernel via odin then dual booted a few roms such as RR or Paranoid Android. As the Siyah kernel enables dual boot i kept my stock 4.0.3 but replaced the launcher with the touchwhiz ux launcher found on the galaxy s3. Since i have flashed various roms and also removed them ect. I have been seeing on XDA that alot of people sent their galaxy s2 to warranty and it didnt get fixed as the "download counter" showed that custom software had been obtained and flashed within the device & that one way to fix it was by downloading well known developer chainfires "Triangle Away" apk in order to remove the triangle at boot as well as reseting the download counter to 0. i am just confused as this is what i done get.
-Say i send my device for warranty and i have restored stock ics GS2 rom kernel and so on will they be able to tell without me using chainfires
"triangle away app?"
-If somehow i encounter a "softbrick" or "hardbrick" could i just buy a usb jig enter download mode, plug it in, restore counter to 0 then flash stock ics & kernel for GS2 via odin & get it fixed free by warranty?
thank alot

u could just root ur phone, install triangle away, run it, and all set.
uninstall any app that indicates that ur phone is rooted and there. also u could flash an unrooted kernel too.
when i had to live my phone at service i did this:
-used triangle away
-factory resets
-wipe dalvik and cache
-flashed via ODIN stock ICS rom
-give it to service!

He simple said:
When you are on a custom rom or rooted rom, use triangle away to reset the counter.
Then do a factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik cache by using custom recovery mode. (you are still rooted)
Then flash an official stock kernel via odin (it will not increase the counter)
The counter will say no and binary official and you have unrooted new firmware
with no way to know you messed around with it. Warranty reclaimed!!

hi i got a 16GB I9300 rooted with CF-Auto Root.
How can i unroot it completely so that kies updates work again?
i got the stock rom i want.
i think if i flash it over the rooted rom, the cfroot files wont be deleted and so the status will still be modified nd kies wont work, what are the correct steps so is factory state?

Reset the flash counter with Triangle Away, flash the stock rom with Odin and perform a data/factory reset after reboot in settings/backup and restore. Now you can update with Kies/OTA and status will say NORMAL.

Thanks! :good: im getting rid of my 16GB S3 before it fails with the SDS issue and getting a 32GB one
Mine is like 3 months used and no problems but i wont take a chance on it failing
Hi guys,
my home-button of my i9300 is very buggy and loose, so I want to give it in for repair!
At the Moment i use Jelly Bam (AOSP - CM 10.1 based on 4.2.1)
so for my warranty i have to unroot etc. => factory state (Stock rom with software branding)
I read some Tutorials and watch videos, but i always see people using Samsung Stock ROMs and then the start TriangleAway for reseting the counter. (the counter thing is new for me because i came from HTC Desire^^)
so my QUESTION is:
Can i start and reset TriangleAway on my AOSP-ROM-> reset the counter and then flash the STock rom with odin? Or should i flash a Samsung ROM and after that i shoud use TriangleAway ?!
Quote from TriangleAway-Thread
Note#2: on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, the "system modified" status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!

pleeeeeeeeease help me!!!!! thx
You could try it, but I recommend going to a stock rom, then using CF-Root, then immediately boot back up and unroot in SuperSu, And then wipe data and you should be fine.
Thinking of it because AOSP requires a custom kernel and recovery the bootloader will detect those and automatically set your flash counter to 1, you have to be on completely stock, then you can use CF-root, etc.
