Hello,
My phone doesn't catch a signal so have to take it back to Best Buy.
I reset the flash counter and put in default software that is Gingerbread only thing left on my phone is the CWM
Any one knows how to put stock recovery back without tripping the flash counter? ????
The phone isn't rooted right now either as in like when I Download titatnium backup it says " phone not rooted" .
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Here in Canada they are really thorough and they just wait to find out something at user end so they can deny warranty.
Try this

I have Rogers and that is for ATT
We don't have a stock Rogers recovery, only the ATT 3e recovery ....
But the 3e recovery is generic anyway ...
It's in the super thread, and is CWM FLASH.
flash it before the reset zip file ...g
Thanks a lot all of you.

OK so I'm using the gs2 but I bought a note to try out. I'd like to root it so I can use titanium backup but if I do decide to return it can I reset the flash counter? I have a jig for my gs2 would that work? And is rotting the note as simple as it was to root my gs2?

Also forgot to ask can someone direct me on how to make a factory backup of the att sofftware for me to flash if I do want to return it back to stock. I forgot to do that before I rooted my gs2

Not as far as I know. It looks like the bootloader is preventing us from doing this. I've got a jig for my gs2 and it just puts the note into download mode (counter doesn't change).

theres a step by step guide in the devin section how to root your note without tripping the flash counter
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

Hi,
I recently rooted my Galaxy S2 about a month ago but now want to unroot it as I have noticed it has been running a bit slower and occasionally crashing.
However I do not know how to unroot the phone, so please could someone help me. Thanks
Put it under the shower, apply some Dove strong roots shampoo, massage n rinse thoroughly. Dont forget to towel dry it in the end.

root a device can´t lead in crash, the problem may be the kernel that flashed.
try siyah ie and tell us
You can just flash a stock firmware.. also you can reset to factory settings so you can get hold of that "brand new" feel

I want to get rid of the root because the GPS has also stopped working since I rooted. Before I rooted, everything was fine.
But I don't know how to unroot the phone, so please can someone help me. Thanks
BTW, I think I did use Siyah when I rooted. I'm a noob at this so please can you explain how to do everything. Thanks

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware and flash through odin. But Im sure you can fix your problem without unrooting. What rom and kernel are you on
Ok, I've unrooted my S2 and flashed a new firmware on my device. However when I was rooted I uninstalled the voice talk. This is still uninstalled and my GPS problem is not sorted. I was thinking of installing the voice talk again and return it to Samsung to get the GPS sorted as its still under warranty.
So now I need to install the Voice talk, or is there any way of restoring the whole phone to like new so I can return to Samsung?

Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
Go into recovery and do a full wipe or...
Flash a stock Rom from sammobile.com
There's plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it.

Note the refused warranty was by the seller .Might be worth asking Samsung if its under their warranty .

Thanks for the help you guys it worked, my phone i s alive. What a great community :laugh:
Hello guys,
I just started playing around with Android/ROMs/etc so forgive me in advance for what probably is a noobish question..
I rooted my i9300 using CF Root, and then tried a few ROMS.
Although, for the time being i decided to stick to the stock. Had it restored through CWM backup/restore function (Nan I believe).
But now, when I try to update it through Kies it says that the firmware version is not compatible.
I checked around and I've seen that I could flash the stock ROM and it would fix, although I would lose everything i have right now.
Wouldn't "unrooting" fix my problem? I mean, from what i can figure out, it's just copying cache.img and recovery.img to my 'boot'?
If so, wouldn't just putting back the stock files 'deceive' to update it?
Thanks a lot!!!

Use triangle away to reset counter, flash an unrooted stock Rom, do a factory reset, that should be or. You will be unroted and original status. Please correct me if I am wrong. There are also a lot of how guides here in the forum and on YouTube!

There are yes, but everything I saw meant flashing a stock ROM, and i really just wanted to use the backup that i have in CWM backup tool.

You could try to flash your backup and remove root with the su app

It was a great idea. Just did that, but apparently the firmware is still not compatible..
I also still see the CWM app in my app list..
Actually, rooting shouldn't interfere with updating via Kies, only OTA. That's what I read. Do you have the correct firmware region?
well its the one that came with the phone, so should be right.
would the cwm cause this? could i put back the original recover
