Hello all,
I have flashed my Samsung Galaxy SIII (I9300) thrice and the same is shown on the ODIN counter.
I just wanted to know if there is any potential risk if I have the counter set at 3?
Is there any max. value for the ODIN counter? If yes, what is it?
There are too many questions in one single thread but as I am still new to this thought of asking before I proceed further with flashing.
regards,
Shankar
Please....
Can some answer....
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Shankar
Actually there is a way to reset this to zero. Check actual gs3 forum

You're not the first person to get a bootloop by flashing that unroot. The files you will need to recover your phone are in the download repository linked in my signature.
I couldn't download the file from the GalaxyS2Root site. Could you please open the tar file and list the contents back here so I can see what's in it. I think it might be only a zImage, but not sure.
Gee, if only you had spent some time searching and reading...
Ok I got it to pass the screen with the samsung S2 Gt-I9100 with the triangle and flash a custom rom. But when it rebbots why does it still load up the same gt-i9100 screen?

because you didnt read the FAQ
How about using a jig would that get rid of the triangle on startup?
Don't use Jig, your phone will blow up; I think. I remember a thread on here about using a jig, you should look for it before proceeding any further.

Hey sorry if I've posted this in the wrong area . But it is a question. Has anyone used the free yellow triangle removal tool with success?
I have the triangle but have read the warning that comes with it and its slightly putting me off using it after all I don't want a £500 paper weight.

I've used it several times zero problems.
That's not a guarantee though! I suppose there is an element of risk.
If you're not happy using the app get yourself a jig.

I bought a jig of tbay but it only drop the phone into recovery mode .. does not remove the counter or the triangle ... i was told the jig only works on older kernals.
Ive got the latest CWM installed dont know how true that advice was but it wouldnt work hence me asking if anyone had used the removal tool .,
Thanks for the relpy though
Yeah you need an older boot loader for the jig. Check intratechs thread in original android development.
But seriously the app has worked flawlessly for me

Are you talking about the yellow warning triangle when i9100 boots up?
I have that too, and always thought it was normal.
A USB Jig shouldn't be forcing your phone into recovery mode, it should force your phone into download mode. Anyway, it won't reset your flash counter because you probably have a new bootloader. I had a new bootloader and had to flash an old bootloader through Odin in order to reset the flash counter.
Chris.
Cheers guys I've now sorted both custom count and the triangle using the free app ...many thanks for your input gately appreciated guys

It only shows if you have a rooted phone that's not an original kernel from what I've learned while reading the forum

Hey I have a question for you guys I read somewhere about something called a flash counter which gives information to samsung that you have tampered with their rom (when they check it of course). So my question is by using SGS3 toolkit 2.0 does this happen. Let's say I have problems with the phone will the warranty still be valid. Also about installing skins. Do I have to root in order to install let's say the ICS Domination.
Thanks in advance and sorry for asking such noob questions

I actually have one more question. If I decide can I "unroot" the phone, just get it back to factory settings without Samsung finding out I had messed with the phone.

You can reset flash counter using Triangle Away and then flash a complete stock ROM using ODIN

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware, flash through Odin, reroot.
*or*
Find the right siyah kernel tar and flash through odin

I can't find 2.3.3 on sammobile only 2.3.6... does this matter? Or is there somewhere else I can find it?
Title adjusted
As was pointed out, it's always best to give a more descriptive title than 'Please Help'. I see you've got a few people helping you, good luck with it - it's usually a step you missed (I've done the same). Always read up and understand what you're doing before you do it, saves brain cells

u have very less or even outdated rooting option on GB, better to upgrade ur phone to stock ICS v4.0.3 (dwnld the stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware pertained to ur region on www.sammobile.com and flash the same using 'ODIN'.
After successfull flash and booting of ICS on ur phone, u can use Siyah kernel( .tar file for ODIN) to root ur phone by flashing the same vide ODIN
U might have corrupted ur install. If there is no VERY important data, i would recommend you to wipe data/cache and download a new STOCK rom and install using odin hope this helps. P.S. Only use odin and stock rom it has less chances of bricking the phone.

Hi all guys, i'm new here and i need your help.
One day ago i installed the Custom ROM "Super Nexus Beta5" on my galaxy. It worked for a day but now, when i turn on my phone, i see this (attachment)
And i can only turn on in download mode.
If i flash some firmware with odin, i have this error: There is no Pit-Partition.
Can you help me?
Sorry for bas english, Thanks.
If there is no pit, you need motherboard replacement because of eMMC failure.
