If you are on a stock rom then yes just factory reset if on custom rom you will have to flash stock firmware via odin to get out of the box condition
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

you need to use triangle away first, then flash stock Rom with Odin, then do factory reset and all will be good for warranty

I was on ics 4.04 then rooted my phone to jellybean with paranoid android tomorrow.. so if lets say Samsung release official jellybean 4.1.1.. how do I revert back?
do I just factory reset or do I go to triangle page then just download automatically?

Auto download? No, you need to manually download original ICS firmware for your phone and flash it with odin.

So do I need to un root first before I use Odin to flash my s3 to original ics?
where can I download original ics? Or the un root program?

Please read this thread it contains everything you want to know for root and unroot.
It also have links to necessary programs you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
For your original Firmware visit Sammobile.com or Samsung-updates.com
Its kind detailed and you have to follow everything in letter and spirit.
I have followed that procedure several times.
But one advice if you dont have to return your phone to warranty dont do this.
Just flash JB rom and follow its instructions.
Hope it helps

Hi if the supersu is present then do I need to do one more factory reset?

If you are on a stock rom just reset.
If you are on a custom rom you need to download your country firmware and flash it via Odin.

[Q] Noob question (please dont flame)

Right ive been researching for the last 3 hours. And i think im ready to root and install custom rom on my phone when it arrives. But i would like some clarifaction on the steps:
Install cf-root using odin- this should give me root and CWM?
use usb jig to get rid of yellow triangle and reset counter if needed?
Download zip rom and flash through CWM?
Is that about it or have i missed something? seems too easy.
Cheers
Ricey
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Can't say.
- You need usb jig to reset the ROM counter.
- To remove the Yellow Triangle you need to flash back a Stock kernel via Odin and then flash the zImage of rooted kernel via CWM. No need to use Jig for that.
Regards.

i don't mind having the yellow triangle because I'll be flashing rom updates almost every month.
Installed custom rom 24 times yet not satisfactory results (((((((((((
I don't know if its even funny or unusual but yes i downloaded like every single rom i could and installed it on my galaxy s2 but most of them got installed and phone got stuck on start samsung logo.Now i got it working.Here are the details what i got on my phone information.I want to know if it is any good or i should try more downloading.lol
Phone : samsung galaxy s2 GT-19100
ANDROID VERSION : 2.3.3
kernel version : [email protected] 2

Did you wipe the phone before flashing?
Some ROMs require that you wipe the phone's userdata (data) partition before flashing, or it will be stuck at the Samsung logo repeatedly.
Did you wipe the phone after flashing?
Some ROMs does not allow you to wipe the phone's userdata (data) partition after you flash it, or it will be stuck at the Samsung logo boot loop.
Make sure to backup your efs folder in case you loose your imie. A very important step.

Clockwork Recovery, does not require a computer to update, change rom. You download the ROM which is in ZIP format. You can use your phone to download it. Then you boot into Clockwork Recovery and install it. You can also use ROM Manager or CWM App to install it as well.
ODIN requires a computer to install rom. ROM is in TAR format and you must boot your phone into Download mode, plug the phone to the computer, then flash the ROM using your computer via ODIN.
When using ODIN to flash a custom kernel, it increases the custom binary counter. A yellow exclamation triangle during the Samsung boot logo will appear if it is not there before.
When using Clockwork Recovery to flash a custom kernel, it does not increase custom binary counter. Since it does not increase the binary counter, there is no yellow exclamation triangle.

Hi Ricey.
Why don't you give the stock rom a chance.Get rid of some of the apps you don't want & replace others with better one's from the market. Have a play with the phone for a couple of weeks & get used to it before you root it.Who knows you might like the stock rom after all.

This aint my first android phone, its just my first samsung. I know from previous experience after 2 days i will be itching to flash ROM's, if for no other reason than because i can. Cheers for advice anyway.
right so to amend my original plan, i need to:
Install cf-root using odin- this should give me root and CWM?
Backup ESF folder using nitrality (does this allow the folder to keep permissions)?
use usb jig to get rid of yellow triangle and reset counter if needed?
Download zip rom and flash through CWM or ODIN depending on rom

[Q] Restore to original rom with broken usb

Since a few weeks my Samsung Galaxy S2 gt-i9100 won't respond to any USB connection. No battery charging, no connection to pc, and also a JIG is not working.
Also note that when last charging a few weeks ago the phone was very hot and vibrating. After that the battery was empty.
When I connect the battery to another S2 it is charging correctly. When I put another battery into the S2 with the problem it is working, but USB is still not working.
I have flashed the phone in october 2011 to cyanogenmod 7.1, with the warning that I will lose waranty.
I think it is not a cyanogenmod issue, but a hardware faillure. Any suggestion how to get the phone back to original rom so I can send it back to samsung for waranty?
If it is not possible, any suggestions what to do know? Maybe getting the partnr GH59-10949A and replace it by myself?
Thanks in advance!
Search for stock rom on Samfirmware.com, flash in Mobile Odin perhaps ? Then use Triangle Away to reset flash counter ?

Triangle away only works on ICS roms.
1.Download any ICS rom, but get one that can be inscalled via recovery.
2. Download Triangle away, let it do its thing.
3. Download the stock rom you want, and sent it over wifi to your phone or download it on your phone.
4. Buy Chain fires mobile odin and flash it. Make sure you untick root, or you will need to go back to step 1 again.
Same thing happened to me they said I got water into the USB and wont fix it but I bought the parts to fix it on ebay.

Backup stuff, eg sms etc, (smsbackup+, always works well for me), and copy anything you want to keep eg photos etc to your pc via airdroid.
Download ics rom to phone
Grab triangle away
Grab mobile odin
Download stock rom to phone
Flash ics rom via Cwm recovery
Use triangle away
Flash stock rom via mobile odin
Delete any custom roms from the phone (aka files)

Hi Guys, I have the same problem.
my usb only works for charging. i can see the pins are bent inside the connector and i can't get it to connect to the pc.
i can't seem to find any ICS official rom for recovery install despite searching for 3 days. can any one point me in the right direction?
wanam's stock thread
salesale's stock thread

If you have read the last post you would understand!
If your region has ics, just flash using mobile Odin and use triangle away to reset counter.
If your region has GB only than as the post above says
Sammobile.com for stock roms

if you have already rooted and CWM installed you can have latest ICS CWM flashale stock rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292825
If you have to use Mobile ODIN as suggested by veyka above,
offial Roms for Mobile Odin can be downloaded from sammobile.com or from the link below for stock roms in my sig or from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Sorry maybe i should have given full details.
I am currently on 2.3.5 and want to upgrade to ics. but i can't flash the phone as usb is not functioning.and anoyingly there is no OTA update!!! as i understand it I can update the firmware via Recovery by putting it onto the sd card and restarting in 3 button mode. Correct?
I think i have the files downloading from samfirmwares.com now, but with 40 min to download!

Clarification of stock firmware to return to

I want to return an S2 to stock...I'm in the UK, will XWLPD be the right firmware? I must admit I'm a bit confused as to the second link there : XWLPD Stock Kernel....do I need to flash both these things?
Essentially I want to sell the phone and have it as much back to original as possible. It is rooted and has CWM on it. It's currently running CyanogenMod 9.
I can't get any Phone / PDA / CSC info, because *#1234# doesn't work.
Use CheckFus to download whatever is the proper and latest ROM for your country and operator.
CheckFus is here: http://fus.nanzen.se/
Then using Odin flash the ROM to your phone, reboot, wipe everything and the phone will be as good as new.
If that answered you, click "Thanks".
Flash just the tar.md5, its the whole package

No. The full package is the first link, which has the stock kernel contained within already. The stock kernel in the second link is provided as a separate package just in case you need it, in the event you want to flash the stock kernel back after you've either flashed an insecure kernel to root, or flashed a custom kernel.
Dont forget to format the internal sd-card

Estract the file located in the zip / rar file.
Start Odin click the PDA button and find the extracted LP7 fileand select it, put your phone in download mode, plug in the USB, once you have the yellow indicator click start and let it flash.
Once finished you will have UK generic 4.0.3 version
After that just factory reset the phone to clean it, also format the SD Card to clean thta as well.

I'm thinking of reverting back to stock as well, what are your reasons? I love the customisation of the AOKP ROMs but im really picky and some features dont work such as WiFi direct which is putting me off. Non AOKP ROMs dont have this issue but they dont support live lock screens so there is always something
Very minor but I am just that picky..lol Saying that I might go back to RR 9.6 as that seemed to work well for me. I am trying FOXHOUND atm and it seems good also.
B4 you go back to stock pls try Omega v13, there is stock, ICS or Black&Blue. I use v13 Ics as it's beautiful, truly. Everything just works. If you want AOKP, he even has an Omega v3.0 AOKP that I've heard is good too

Thanks for this. I've done this - how long should it take to reboot? Its gone to the SG2 boot screen and pretty much has stayed there for the last 10 minutes.
EDIT : No worries, went into recovery and erased cache/wipe data - now booting.
If your trying to get to original firmware, there are a few things we need to know.
1.. What carrier/provider are you with.
2.. What original firmware did you have, ie 2.3.3, 2.3.4
Download the original firmware from Samfirmware.com
Because you were on ICS; and you are selling the phone, you need to do more than just factory reset.
1 enter recovery
2 data/factory reset.
3 ( Advanced ), wipe dalvik cache
4 ( mounts & storage ), format system. format data. Format internal storage.
Unzip original firmware once only.
Put the firmware into PDA in Odin
turn off phone and enter download mode.
Connect usb cable to phone/PC
Click start on Odin once you see yellow connection in Odin.
If I was doing this and it was my phone, I would also put the pit file in too. But i shall leave that up to you.
Wait for phone to reboot.
On dial pad phone *2767*3588#
Phone will reset then reboot.
Done.
PS.. do not install custom rom.
If the new owner then wants to upgrade via Kies, he/she can.

I've reinstalled a stock firmware, it all works. It wasn't ever branded and was unlocked when I got it, so to all intents and purposes, it looks like an unlocked, generic S2 now(with UK presets). There was no pit file on what I downloaded -but thanks for your input.....what I didn't do was format all before I tried to install. Once it had gotten stuck, went back into recovery and wiped all these things - now working fine.
For future ref. The pit file, you get from samfirmware.com. Its under flashprograms.
Hope you get a good price for it.

Extract My Carriers Firmware..Please Help?

Hey Guys,
I was just wondering if someone could advise me on this,
Just got an S3 and of course its got lovely warranty Which i dont want to void JUST yet =P...
Could anyone tell me on how to extract my current carriers firmware to a file which i could flash alter just in case there is ever a need to take it back to the shop?
Also, the GS2 jig doesn't work for the S3 so, i see people are using the "triangle away app", but if they use that,
Wont they be able to see that the ROM has been rooted?
So how would i flash it back to Stock, then reset the binary so that they would never know?
Thanks a bunch guys!
Oh and i did try to search for this Rom extraction but the only thing i found was for how to do it for a HTC...
Thanks again

There's a windows program that you can use to download stock firmware called checkfus downloader. Flashing it through Odin will not trip the flash counter.
And what you need to do is run triangle away before you flash stock to reset the counter, then flash a stock firmware (which removes root and flashes stock recovery) then wipe data through stock recovery and reboot this sets the flash counter to 0 and your status will be normal.

Nice one,
Will get on the case now =P...
Time to play with my new toy ^_^
Just a quick question...
I downloaded Check Fus Downloader,
Got my Firmware etc etc,
But its a zip file,
Wont that increase my binary count if flashed through recovery?
If i wanted to make my phone so that it looks like its never been flashed?...
If i was on a custom Rom,
Then flashed this stock Firmware,
Then used triangle away,
The ROM is going to be rooted so they will know its been modified?
I thought the process would be,
(On a custom Rom): Install triangle away,
Then used ODIN to flash the stock firmware
Then i will be back to 0, original firmware unrooted?
But i cant do that with a zip file..
Please help

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809
After that you will be able to root your device with any method you like.
Me personnaly I was using omega rom, but i had poor battery life so i made a reset of the flash counter and after that i returnet to stock 4.1.1 rom via kies with the instructions above.
After that i simply flashed prerooted stock 4.1.2 ROM from anotber xda theme and now i have rooted firmware without loss of warranty and with flash counter 0 and system status Official.
Good luck
