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

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 .

just reflash the offical rom, from odin and everything will be removed and will be stock
Are you able to perform any actions that require root? Or are those apps just there, without the ability to perform their designated functions (example: restoring a back-up via Titanium Back-up)?

well if you flash orignal firmware via odin the counter will not be increase
counter increase only After root the firmware.
flash Only rom it will remove yellow icon and will not increase Counter
I think the firmware which you are flashing is not full wipe.Follow this:
1)Flash lpq or any other ics firmware and let it reboot and see if the root is still present if not
2)Now flash Indian firmware which was shipped with your phone.

Once used triangle away to reset flash counter then go to recovery and do a factory reset(full wipe), remove battery, go into download mode, flash DDKL1 full firmware of some 300 mb and don't flash anything else(flashing stock firmware don't increase flash counter

You can flash stock ROM with Odin or use Triangle away app (Resets Flash counter to 0)

[Q] Can Samsung tell if your phone has been rooted?

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.

[Q] Root with Official status

I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 and keep downloading mode as:
"ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL"
There's a workaround for Samsung Galaxy Note II, but is there one available for SGS3 too?

Wow! Is there such a thing?
Can you lead me to a link please?
no, use search
After rooting, use TriangleAway app to reset flash counter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Flashing a stock rom after that will keep the status as official with counter being 0
Also, make sure that this app best works on stock kernels (yes, the ones with stock firmwares). Some kernels have problems with the app.
