I have an i777 that was recently replaced by another phone, but when I tried to turn the i777 back on nothing seems to start.
It was running the Super Nexus ROM.
If I plug the phone into my computer I can get into ODIN, but cannot otherwise get the phone to respond to any input.
I had thought I was going to have to return the phone to Samsung, so I used ODIN to flash the stock binary, but I still have the triangle issue...
Any ideas on how this can be fixed? I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find anything that fit this case.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I was more asking if there was a way to get the phone to work again without sending it back in. I can reset the counter if need be, but would rather just get the phone working again and not have to deal with samsung.

I see you already flashed it back to stock. I would recommend doing that again to see if that fixes your issue. Otherwise, remove the triangle and attempt a warranty repair.
Make sure you are following the instructions in the sticky for a proper return to stock.

Dude, do you not understand that starting multiple threads on the same subject is a violation of the rules here? I know it's been told to you multiple times now. Please do not do it anymore. It is most annoying.

You've got almost a hundred posts, and you can't find the return to stock thread? Good luck, and if you make it back to stock, I suggest you keep it that way...

Hey now...R5 is not the only one that does the locking around here....
Ya, I was told I have to share.
Is there like a max limit of numbers the flash counter can go upto? I see people talking about this. I'm coming from a motorola Atrix, and we never had such a thing, so I want to make sure before I root.
I want to use the toolkit to do it easily without ODIN and all so I guess my flash counter will go up one. what disadvantages does this have?
Will something like triangle away from the market reset the flash counter from our phones?
Thanks!

I usually ask 'dev' related questions like that over here because some people don't root or anything there.
but I guess I can try there
As far as I know there is no set limit so you can flash all you want however if you send your phone in for warranty Samsung would know it was rooted or had custom rom flashed and possibly not honor the warranty. With the flash counter they would be able to tell how many times you flashed a custom os. Other then that your fine.

Thats great and all, but under no circumstances should a question thread be started in the dev section. It clutters the forum.

The only problem u got is when u go for warranty exchange att or sammy might look at ur binary count and then they might avoid ur warranty. Othere then thats nothing wrong you cant tell until u goto dload mode. Plus please follow rules & post in correct section. Thank you.

Is there a simple method to root galaxy S3?

Pretty much any method is fairly streamline now. There's a root toolkit that does all the work for you, all you have to do is enter in a number that relates to the command when you run it. Be certain you are using the proper root method for your carrier and follow all instructions carefully.
Tripping the flash counter happens when you flash your recovery via odin. It triggers the built in counter in download mode to show that you have "tampered" with the device, and therefor can be refused warranty work. To avoid this, use either ADB through command line, or terminal emulator.

I agree that there is a lot of posts all over the place but to all fairness, there is posts in this same section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722344 that shows you exactly what to do to root.
I agree that you NEED TO READ. If you aren't willing to do the research you're going to have an expensive brick instead of an amazing phone running Jelly Bean roms or whatever you choose.
Also, don't just rely on one thread. Read multiple so you see opinions and suggestions.

Don't think it matters if you trip the flash counter any more there's an app to get rid of it Triangle Away. Also be careful many people have Lost there Imei# and now have a very expensive mp3 player. Might be a good idea to wait until they figure out how to back up imei first.

I literally got my phone, read here for 30 min and had a rooted phone in 45 after the phone arrived. Bottom line is u didn't read. Don't give me that shot that there are so many threads. Check the stickies. It's right there man. Sorry to be a ****, but I can't stand lazy people.

I think it's funny how quick everyone is to tell people to read - When there are likely many threads that you've started that a google search could've solved in 5 minutes. He had plenty of other questions that had nothing to do with how to root his device. Yes reading can help solve most of his issues, but when you have the possibility of turning a 600$ phone completely worthless, it doesn't hurt to ask questions.
Really, get over yourselves.
Good call I have spent probably a week reading not only this forum but others as well and find numerous conflicting methods for rooting. There's nothing wrong with asking that's why there's a questions forum to begin with.:thumbup:

I bet you upgraded from iphone(like me). Coming to your question, it depends on the model you are on. Check this galaxys3root dot com . Max got videos for rooting all models of S3. They are pretty much simple. happy rooting!!!

It is pretty straight forward. Make sure you have the drivers installed before rooting. In short, follow the instructions to the point. If you are worried about tripping your flash counter, there is a specific root method you follow. If you do not care, then you can use the tool kit. If you look through the posts in the development section, you will easily find it. PM me if you need help.
When I plug my phone into computer it finds my device drivers. Will that work or do I have to download them from the link provided?

I just got an ATT SIII and I attempted to root it with Odin. The progress bar got to about 25% then failed, now I can't boot my phone into the OS. I followed every guide I could find to fix this but every flash fails at ~25%. I can get into download mode, so I should be able to correct this, right? What should I be doing?
edit:
Ok, I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727443
I followed the steps, Odin passed, and when I boot I see the Galaxy S III splash screen, then the screen goes blank and the led stays solid blue. I can still get to download mode.
First of all get to the AT&T s3 forum this is for the i9300 only flashing anything here will brick your phone.

"you're" would be the correct grammar
nah man, I certainly don't want to be a mod. I am just surprised by people's thinking. Like "hey, here's the Q&A help and troubleshooting forum, should ask ask a question there? naah, imma just post in general". It's not even funny.
And I am perfectly fine if you don't like my posts, I don't care about that.
@OP: definitely it is (as mentioned before) Q&A thread, first.
Secondly, I would like to pass my personal congratulations to you, as you tried to flash the firmware form another phone and you have confirmed that it would brick it.
Last but not least: be careful and do not apply your way of life while refuelling your car, as diesel into petrol or vice versa would have more severe consequences.
Im sending my phone back to them/samsung and I need to return it to stock. If they can tell I ever modified the software I get charged 300 $. Does anyobe know how to do a full restore like this? Can any of you speak from experience and confirm they cant tell?

I could certainty appreciate your standpoint if say, I bricked my device trying to root it.
Considering the power button broke (and my phone has NEVER been dropped) I dont think it's fair that they refuse to fix a hardware problem because I used my device as it was built to be used.
