My i9100m is having many problems so I have decided to send it in to Samsung for repair under the manufactures warranty. But before I do so, can Samsung tell if my phone has been rooted? If so how can I prevent them from figuring out?

yes when you go to download modus Custom binary download says yes. Even when go back from root it wil stay costum. This wil tell samsung your phone is or where rooted. And your warranty is VOID

the warranty is not void in Europe if you root the phone or flash a custom rom
You can always use triangle away, it resets your binary counter, and you also can use a JIG to do so.

Apparently this app isn't available for my device.
Use a jig then. Its easy to build one. Or get one from eBay

Triangle Away
Triangle Away worked just fine with my s2. You can try and download it from the dev's post.

What was unclear about this? It removes the custom binary flash counter, the one you see if you've flashed a non Samsung kernel from download mode, and also the corresponding indicator (triangle) when you boot your phone afterwards.

So don't flash anything, stick to stock, and wait for official updates via Kies.
I don't have triangle... I removed it using some other method... I have 2 counter.. but I just want to know why the need of reseting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Resetting the flash counter isn't 'necessary'. But if you ever want to send your phone in for warranty service, not resetting the flash counter before you send it in for service might well mean you end up paying for your phone to be repaired/replaced rather than having same done on Samsung's dime.
Clear ?

Samsung warranty .
Void if custom rom or rooted phone or root apps or custom rom counter above zero .
Its as simple as that .
USB recovery jig can set custom rom to zero but not on later firmware with newer bootloader such as beta ICS .

Thank you.. I got answer..

Hi everyone.
Ive had my phone rooted for a while and ive been flashing allsorts over the past few months (kernels,roms,mods...)
I had the yellow triangle on boot when I first flashed the CFroot kernel (like everyone does)...
But somewhere along the line id managed to keep my phone rooted and somehow remove the triangle!
No matter what I flashed the triangle was still gone...
Unfortunatly today I had to 'ODIN' flash my stock rom again cuz all my backups were saying 'md5 mismatch' and thus the warning symbol appears when i root my phone again...
Does anyone know how I can root my phone and keep that triangle away? Without using the Triangle away app...
Thanks

Try using triangle away if youre using ICS, search for it. or flash a stock kernel that matches your firmware

Have a look at this thread, post 2 will tell you how to remove the yellow triangle then return CWM to full working order. If you flashed using chainfires CF root this will sort it for you.

You will need the stock kernel from this post that fits your phone so make sure you download the correct one

Try re-reading post 3, which is right above yours.
If you care to learn... the triangle is a visual indicator that a kernel that was NOT signed by Samsung is currently flashed to your phone.
So you can root your phone by flashing a CF-root kernel (linked in post 3), then re-flash a stock Samsung signed kernel (also in that post) to remove the triangle, and you will retain root. (That will NOT, however, remove the flash count. But you didn't ask about that...)
if u use a GB Rom u cand remove with ISB JIG,but before install with ODIN an old BOOTLOADER. i.m not sure if USB JIG work on ICS. u can give a try.enjoy.

It CAN... but only if you are running the old bootloader. The old bootloader still works with ICS.

well i use USB only in GB ROM,now is for sale on ebay )
@match_stick : now only thing is to get an USB JIG, and type on google : i9100 old bootloader,download and flash with odin.first,search on youtube: how to use USB JIG on i9100 . good luck
What you ask is simple and that is what you must have done....
Flash the official kernel back after cfroot, it removes the triangle.
But remember, the counter stays that's why people use jig, triangle away.
Thanks everyone. I think I must have flashed a secure kernel again at some point thats probably why I had No triangle. ...
But i was using Siyah for a while...no triangle.

If you had flashed Siyah with a method OTHER than Odin, then it would not show the triangle.
The triangle (and by extension, the count) only registers non-Samsung signed kernel flashes that are done via Odin. Sorry, I forgot to mention that before.
you can use a usb jig if you have access to it
Its better if u use triangle away....just make sure ur already using ICS rom...
cheers !

This is just the simplest of tasks
Download the stock firmware (Packed up in a .tar file) from sammobile.com/firmwareHere
And flash it via odin It's really that easy! Just as if you were rooting the phone

What method did you use? I believe if you used cf auto root, just restore the stock backup, use triangle away, then unroot via supersu.

Check out this guide to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957160&highlight=cf+root
With most samsung devices, there is a flash counter built in which shows if you have modified anything. When you root, your counter will be tripped thus your warranty voided. However there is an app called Triangle Away which allows you to reset the counter to 0.
hey ... one more thing
do i need to create a backup before rooting the tablet ???

Official firmware with 0 flash counter would be to cover the phone under warranty but this is an old phone now so it would be out of warranty.
they wont care right even if i have a custom rom

If it's out of warranty I doubt they'd care cos u would have to pay for repairs either way
