Hello guys,
I am on Allince ROM, and with Triangle Away app I have reset counter for ROM flashing. As I need to send SII back to service for warranty repair, what I need to do so I can keep my warranty?
Thank you in advance,

you should flash a stock rom with Odin - google it
Odin will not increment the 'downloads counter'

My Galaxy came with 4.0.3 official Baseband I9100DDLPA
If i root it, can i bring it back to stock without samsung coming to know?
If i install a custom ROM, can i bring it back to stock without samsung knowin it?
Yeah just flash stock rom from sammobile and get rid of the triangle if there is any. Last time my friend brought his ace back to samsung for warranty due to a hardbrick he caused they happily accepted it and told him that the brick was most likely caused by a corrupted rom :/ After that they fixed it and all was fine
I also advise you to flash stock modem.
I got my phone few days back, everything went fine, no problems with service center.

Don't use Kies, use Odin, it's far less temperamental. Just download th XWKE2 firmware from samfirmware.com and flash in the PDA section of Odin

Wow, that's a hell of a long time, leave it to download overnight? Mine took a while but only because it's a big file and it certainly didn't take a day! I'm sorry I don't know anywhere else to get stock firmware from apart from Samfirmware.com and the god awful Kies...
Its not posted on here by any chance using a different upload service .

I have installed an unsecure kernel in my galaxy s2 (GT I9100G) but since I cannot find the original stock kernel, I wanted to roll back to the stock android version that came with s2 and thus wanted to know how could I re-install the firmware from KIES.
Thanks

You need to reflash stock using ODIN before you can use kies, as Kies doesn't recognise custom kernels.

Will reflashing bring back the stock kernel and make the phone unrooted in short make it the way Samsung sold it to me?
Also, I am using Galaxy S2 I9100G build number GINGERBREAD.XWKJ2 and for it only 1 unsecured kernel was available at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
I rooted my phone without any problem but since there's no way to get back the stock kernel, I am afraid that if need be, how am I gonna claim warranty for my device.

Yes aslong as you flash the firmware that came with it t will be like as samsung sold it. Have a look at intratech's thread he may just have the kernel if you still have the original firmware on it already.

Yes, I do have the original firmware on it. Didn't have enough guts to play with custom ROM :/
I did check intratech's thread and found stock kernel for XWKJ2 but the thread titles says "Official i9100 Firmwares" whereas my phone shows i9100G. I guess this won't work.
And, when flashing to original firmware, will the kernel's be replaced to the original one's as well?
Thanks for suck quick replies Am just a n00b diving into Android
You can extract the original kernel yourself if you want it http://www.hotfile.com/dl/136857418/c144909/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html

Downloaded it. Now what do I do? Flash s2 with this, backup using titanium, root device and then use the stock to get rid of yellow triangle? Am I missing anything?
Thanks for your help
BTW, is there a way to get the latest available firmware in my country/region via KIES so that I can be 100% sure of being in right place
i cant post the link right now but you can google
"How to goback/use Kies update after using ODIN,Rooting or Custom Firmware : Video Guide"
and go the the dialandroid website they have a way to make it like original again
Ok so basically for what I understood ny some reading is that when you use ODIN to flash ROM's you get the flash-counter +1 and bye bye warranty.
Can the flash counter be reset ? if so how do you do it? is that done by flashing back the stock ROM?
Thanks

I haven't read anything about a flash counter for the tablets, can you post a link to the particular article or thread that discusses the thread counter?
I got my tab 10.1 since yesterday and I can confirm it has a flash counter indeed.
Its pretty much the same as my sgs2.
I gues we have to wait till someone will try to make a jig for the tab.
I love to make one myself but my soldering skills are very bad.

Interesting, must be something about the ROMs that triggers the flash counter. I've flashed Liquidspeed and then the leaked 3.2 ROM on my Verizon GT 10.1 LTE tab and my counter is still at 0. The later I flashed twice using Odin.
These ROMs are basically stock images though, so perhaps that's why my counter hasn't triggered.
ok so what is everyone doing here with custom ROM's? Once you flash it it's over.

You can easly remove the yellow triangle reflashing an original samsung kernel via Odin. You can take it from sammobile. However the counter in download mode will not be reset. But dont worry, no one will look in download mode (personal experience).
Or, you can use a jig usb. You can take if from ebay.

Yes, 4.0.4 has the brick bug, but that should not stop you from returning to stock.
Download ICS 4.0.3 stock firmware.
Perform factory reset in your new phone
Flash via Odin.

Jes thats waht RR means so im safe if returning to stock 4.0.3 with odin and would anyone be kind enough to give me a link to download stock rom and the instructions with odin
To download the firmware go to sammobile. com, login and select the firmware for your phone and country.
Then in recovery full wipe, format /system and then reboot in download mode. Connect the phone to the pc with the USB cable, wait for Odin recognising it and fhen flash it

1. You can download 4.0.3 firmware on here on XDA or on Sammobile. On Sammobile, you will have the option to download the stock ICS firmware for your country
2. Odin Flashing Tutorials here on XDA
ok so il do it but another question is my case somehow connected with the one that was about the leaked firmware that bricked many devices i know it is samsungs fault because of their bug but i want to be 100% sure cause its not my phone its my mom's

1. The firmware you are downloading ICS 4.0.3 is very safe. Only 4.0.4 comes with brick bug on its stock kernel. So don't download ICS 4.0.4 firmware
2. Technically, warranty is already voided, If anybody should flash a leaked firmware, or root his phone.
Brick bug or not, Samsung is not 100% at fault if anybody should brick his device while flashing a leaked firmware or after rooting his phone.
The user has to take his own share of the blame too.

1)should be on a stock rom (GB or ICS) pertained to ur region.
2) u must be unrooted for sure.
3) ur binary count should be Zero (0) , and u should remove the Triangle by using 'triangle away'app.
with all the above done, u can send to repair without any issue for sure

1. Sun90, already said it in his point no 3. Use triangle away app, to reset binary counter: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
2. Then download the firmware for your country here: www.sammobile.com/firmware/
3. Flash the firmware via Odin.
4. Your phone will be back to unrooted stock firmware.

You've mentioned that you've flashed various roms... Did they include different kernels? Before sending it for reparation, you could always try a different kernel. Perhaps your mom's wifi problem is kernel related. I'm not saying this the solution, but in my humble opinion it's worth a try before proceeding with the steps above.
