Help - Unrooting - TriangleAway - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have a Galaxy S3 9300 Vodafone Romania . I have rooted my device with Odin, then I have flashed via CWM SuperNexus 5.
Now I would like to unroot my device and go back to the stock Samsung ROM.
I have tried to remove the counter ( 1 ) with TriangleAway but it won't reset it to 0. It remains 1. Is this beacuse of SuperNexus 5? Do I have to be on the stock Samsung rom?
Can I directly flash the stock rom via CWM?
Please help me!
I want to unroot it and don't know how to get rid of that counter!

Unroot/Restore to stock

Hey I recently rooted my galaxy s2 using the zergling program, then flashed Resurrection ICS Remix v1.0.
Just for future reference if I ever want to restore everything to stock/unroot I just need to factory reset, flash stock kernal (XWKI4) and flash stock firmware (XWKI4) using Odin? If not what exactly do I need to do to restore it?
I couldn't really find a definitive yes or no answer so I'd figured I'd make a thread .
Thanks for any help =).
Yeah just flash back to a stock firmware. Use a USB jig to reset flash counter.

If after using the jig your flash counter isn't restored, you sould flash via odin an older bootloader then use the jig again and finally flash the new bootloader.
search at this thread for "bootloader".
Thanks for the info guys

Debrand and Root help

Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before i am a bit of noob on android.
I have got myself Galaxy S3 locked to Three network i have looked all over the forums but managed to confuse myself
I want to debrand and root my phone but i don't know what to do first do i root before flashing stock to the phone or flash with stock first then root.I really don't want to brick it lol.
I would like to open it for all networks also.
P.S Im in UK model number GT-I9300
Thank you
Steveo
First u have to flash the debranded firmware you want with Odin theN do a cf root then after u have rooted you can go to play store and download voodoo galaxy s III sim unlock
If I helped say thanks
Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
So do i just flash the stock rom for the uk straight to my phone using odin3 v1.85?
will it wipe everything from my phone once i do this contacts etc..
Stock rom does not wipe .
Root will be wiped if you flash stock rom after root so in your case stock followed by root .
jje
Thanks for the help guys.
I managed to get their in the end.
what did you do in the end ? I want to do the same and remove the Vodafone branded firmware off my S3 and just add stock firmware on..
Cheers
Go to samfirmware.com and flash your Rom of choice through Odin.

[Q] Upcoming official 4.2.1 update

Official JB update for SGII wil be 03.03.2013, and I wanted to ask a question.I have a rooted phone with Siyah v5.0.1 kernel, with orginal ROM. Can I update my phone to official 4.1.2 with a rooted phone with Siyah kernel ? Or I must unroot my phone and get my stock kernel.
I now it may sound like a noob question but I'm new here so better I ask someone.
Thanks.
the easiest way is to simply flash the Rom with odin,
worst case scenario is that you have to wipe data/Factory reset after flashing,
so make a nandroid and a backup with titanium backup or something similar.
just so you have a cliff to lean back on.
unless you flash with mobile odin you will lose root though,
but then youll only have to flash a new rooted kernel and you should be good to go!

Thanks for the guide, So only to be sure.
I donwload the official ROM, then I flash it with odin and then if I want to root my phone again I must flash a rooted rom.
And the official update contains the stock kernel ? Because I got alredy a backup done with CWM and when I flash the official ROM and it will replace Syiah kernel with CWM and if somenting goes wrong then I can't restore it .

Well, I erased the wrong nandroid and wiped out my stock ROM. So I can't revert to stock and unroot ready for the official ota without using Odin (which I have NO intentions of doing lol) but then, I'm currently running 4.2.2 anyway...so I'm not sure I would....even if I could.....
And tbh.....I like not having all that bloatware......

Will you be reverting back to 4.0.4?

I would not unroot the phone. Just use Odin for flashing the new firmware and after that you can root it again. For me it's much saver than using buggy Kies...

I've got a nandroid backup from my stock ROM in PC and on USB so if somenting goes wrong I just copy it to phone.
But my question is when I flash the official rom 4.1.2 it will unroot my phone and CWM recovery mode will be deleted because of new kernel, and if there somenting goes wrong how should I backup it when there will be no CWM recovery mode .

If there will be no cwm you could flash a different kernel from Odin

Or just use a temporary CWM - flash it from stock recovery, do a backup, reboot.

Used Odin to root from - wrong software, HEELLLP :(

Why return it to stock? I would recommend flashing an i9305 recovery from Odin then flashing an i9305 pre-rooted ROM via recovery....
However, heres how to return it to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
You need it to boot (With rooted) to be able to reset the counter though. It may not even need resetting yet though. Check download mode for info

Hey man, he is using the 19305 model from Australia.
I just need a link that refers me a site or post that will let me download the Stock rom, or any rom that will allow the s3 to be usable again.

Of course you can, there are a couple of threads/posts about it. You just need to read them.
And don't worry about the bootloader.

Can i get a conform instruction on how to do this?i prefer not to do this with odin..because i already have a custom recovery...my recovery is CWM 5.0.3...do i need to upgrape my recovery first?
So you want to flash it via CWM, that's a completely different question.
You can also search for that.
Don't wanna flash with odin?
Mobile Odin might be the best tool for you.

i already search for it...i found
1. Stock rooted deoxed rom 4.1.2 <<< -- to install this i need CWM for JB
2. Root on stock recovery <<<< -- to install this i need stock rom and stock recovery
3.CWM on stock recovery <<< --- to install this also need stock recovery
-stock rom and recovery mean using odin...and i dont want to use odin...
From all thing above..i need to know how to do this with ICS CWM that i already have....IF there is anyway pls let me know...
sorry for my bad english...
can at least give me a link to where this instruction on how to do this??
Check out Mobile Odin.
And I think you want the deoxed ROM via CWM.
