Hi All,
I've been really happy with my Galaxy S3 until I decided to flash a new Cyanogen Mod nightly build onto it. After the update my touchscreen stopped working but the soft buttons still work. I done a bit of reading on XDA and found it could be the digitizer that has faulted.
I've reflashed all the original ROM's and Firmware. When going into download mode in now reads
Customer Binary Download: Yes (4)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
I want to take it back to Vodafone to see if they can repair it but I need to get the flash counter back to 0. I know Triangle Away can do this but as the screen doesn't work I can't get past the unlock screen once it turns on to install and use it.
Is there anyway to reset the flash counter without getting into the phone e.g. via Odin?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I`m not 100% sure about this but you could try using an adapter and hooking up a usb mouse!

Thanks. I read that somewhere and am going to try that if there is no way to use Triangle Away without using the phone.

Hi,
Does I9100G same as I9100?
Can I flash CF-Root on I9100G?
Does the custom rom in this forum is compatible?
Anyone tried it before?
I use a GT-9100T with no issues as baseband version KH3 of the custom rom matches that of the stock.
Have a look around in chainfire's thread for a matching rooted kernel. Once rooted, use the CWM app that's installed automatically to make a nan-backup of your original rom (if three is no shipped rom G version available for download, check intratech thread)
......That is if you decide to go down this path. Sorry can't be of more help.

I too have the I9100G DXKH4 S2 and from experience please do not use CF-Root files on the G phone. I ended up with a stuck Samsung Boot screen with the Yellow Triangle.
Some of the ROMs i tried from Intratech and Samfirmware could not be flashed and the error did not go away. Last resort was I sent back to Samsung for reflash.
Just updated my firmware to DZKI1 using Kies. Looks like we are stuck with an
unrootable phone until CF gives us the CF-I9100G root files
I sure would like to know what exactly is the difference between between the "G" and non G phone but somehow I cant find any except for bricking it
---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------
One other thing, I noticed the G phone has some font issues
1. Droidwords...In the game where you can see the points on your word played (top right), the fonts become ............
2. Papago , the mylist (saved location) fonts are extremely small
3. TouchPal Keyboard (IMHO is far superior than the stock Samsung KB) - Full QWERTY mode with Symbols and Numbers intermixed, first 3 rows are missing all the symbols and numbers. Only the last row of keys can be seen with the symbols

i9100g is using different CPU TI OMAP 4430. I think thats why root fail. You can PM hahaboy cos he have rooted his device. Also it seems you guys got official rom KI1 which is a 2.3.5 rom.
all I9100G users, dont use any I9100 rom or kernel, that's totally different. we just wait 9100G rom and kernel out. no choice.

Hi Hahaboy,
I need the KH4 kernel (for i9100G) to flash my i9100G back to normal..
I've foolishly tried to root it using the CF root with a KH4 kernel (for i9100) that causes the phone to be stuck at the reboot level..
Hope to hear from you soon.

Tell us what you did to your phone. try to explain as much as possible.
You can post links of what you flashed.
What's your phone model no I9100 or I9100G?
What the Android version on the phone, Gingerbread or ICS?

Search.
This has been covered here thousands of times over the past two years. If you have problems using Odin, search for Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash' thread.

Need some more advice,
As you know my phone is a samsung galaxy s2 gt 19100 and its not loading up to the main screen, but staying on the boot screen. I recently updated to jellybean from ics as well.
Entering recovery mode has not worked as using the combination of buttons doesn't work and i have used odin to reinstall jelly bean and downgade to ics again and that has not worked.
I desperately need my phone to work as it has all my stuff on it, is there anything else that i have not tried?
Thanks in advance.

A USB Jig is used when you brick your phone. It forces phone to go in download mode
Use triangle away app, which can be found in themes and apps section

Hi, I have a very strange problem on my phone ... ( SGS 3 I900 )
Suppose I hear music ( no matter if it's a headset / bluetooth / cable (AUX in the car or the phone's speaker) , every few seconds (it has no legality ) the music gets stuck Although the sound track continues to progress but in a faltering: there is a sound for a second and in the next there is not and it continiues to happen really often , so the progress of the song gets really annoying and its really annoying >< (if he does not stop at all) (The songs dont stop they are just bumping along like that)
In addition, the phone is crashing and becomes very very slow really often (get temporarly solved by a restart)...
and the phone in general became very, very slow every time this happens ...
the "slow down " happens after the "music bug"
Even apps crashing very often ..
Before I format the phone to Stock Rom 4.3 will it solve the problem ? Anyone else having this?
I use ARHD version is 40.0 (android 4.3) ....
I tried to re-flash the rom and format the SD-card but it does not seem to be working...
Btw, i cant download the stock rom from SAMMOBILE because of a max download limit so if i can get a link for the stock rom that do work that'll be greate..
Thank you in advance! :laugh:
Very hard to understand, but first step is factory reset and flash stock.
You'll have to wait for sammobile to provide new download links.

Backup than back to stock for test
Just do a nandroid backup to the external sd and than flash a original 4.1.2 firmware for test if the HW is working properly. If so the custom rom might have a bug.
Often happens with the kernels not the roms. Try at first a different kernel. One that is similar to stock. Then if this don't work follow the steps from users above. They gave you valuable advice.
