[Q] From Omega to stock Touchwiz - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently using omega ROM [v38 build ZSEMAI]and want to go back to stock touchwiz and reset my binary count (in other words i want my s3 like it was never rooted),i just wanted to know will triangle away work if i flash a jb 4.1.1 rom from sammobile or i need to go back to ics then use triangle away and then update it using kies , also it will be very helpful if you could just tell me steps to follow ,
i already have a nandroid backup before i was using omega ,a efs backup, and already backed up my apps using touchwiz
This is my first question on xda so i hope i gave you all the information you need
Thanks in advance

use triangle away first to reset your binary count. then flash a stock rom. flashing a stock rom will remove your root access

I read that samsung has started to load a new bootloader which shows a red exclamation mark whenever one boots into recovery ,so will triangle away work also do you recommend using odin for flashing the stock rom or through recovery

Idk about the ! Thing (I haven't been reading and updating myself in the tech world for sometime cause it's our exams week), but yes, the triangle away can still reset it.. I suggest you use odin

[Q] Noob question (please dont flame)

Right ive been researching for the last 3 hours. And i think im ready to root and install custom rom on my phone when it arrives. But i would like some clarifaction on the steps:
Install cf-root using odin- this should give me root and CWM?
use usb jig to get rid of yellow triangle and reset counter if needed?
Download zip rom and flash through CWM?
Is that about it or have i missed something? seems too easy.
Cheers

- Yes.
- Yes.
- Can't say.
- You need usb jig to reset the ROM counter.
- To remove the Yellow Triangle you need to flash back a Stock kernel via Odin and then flash the zImage of rooted kernel via CWM. No need to use Jig for that.

yes the jig get rids of the yellow triangle and resets the counter.
i don't mind having the yellow triangle because I'll be flashing rom updates almost every month.
Installed custom rom 24 times yet not satisfactory results (((((((((((
I don't know if its even funny or unusual but yes i downloaded like every single rom i could and installed it on my galaxy s2 but most of them got installed and phone got stuck on start samsung logo.Now i got it working.Here are the details what i got on my phone information.I want to know if it is any good or i should try more downloading.lol
Phone : samsung galaxy s2 GT-19100
ANDROID VERSION : 2.3.3
kernel version : [email protected] 2
build number gingerbread.XWKE1
Did you wipe the phone before flashing?
Some ROMs require that you wipe the phone's userdata (data) partition before flashing, or it will be stuck at the Samsung logo repeatedly.
Did you wipe the phone after flashing?
Some ROMs does not allow you to wipe the phone's userdata (data) partition after you flash it, or it will be stuck at the Samsung logo boot loop.
Make sure to backup your efs folder in case you loose your imie. A very important step.

Ok from what I can gather there seems o be two ways of flashing roms with the SGS2. Using Odin and cwm. What are the difference between them? Advantages,disadvantages? Sorry for the questions I just like to know my stuff before I take a plunge into something

The rom builder decides the method of flashing you just follow the given instructions .
Essentially no difference .

Clockwork Recovery, does not require a computer to update, change rom. You download the ROM which is in ZIP format. You can use your phone to download it. Then you boot into Clockwork Recovery and install it. You can also use ROM Manager or CWM App to install it as well.
ODIN requires a computer to install rom. ROM is in TAR format and you must boot your phone into Download mode, plug the phone to the computer, then flash the ROM using your computer via ODIN.
When using ODIN to flash a custom kernel, it increases the custom binary counter. A yellow exclamation triangle during the Samsung boot logo will appear if it is not there before.
When using Clockwork Recovery to flash a custom kernel, it does not increase custom binary counter. Since it does not increase the binary counter, there is no yellow exclamation triangle.

Hi Ricey.
Why don't you give the stock rom a chance.Get rid of some of the apps you don't want & replace others with better one's from the market. Have a play with the phone for a couple of weeks & get used to it before you root it.Who knows you might like the stock rom after all.

This aint my first android phone, its just my first samsung. I know from previous experience after 2 days i will be itching to flash ROM's, if for no other reason than because i can. Cheers for advice anyway.
right so to amend my original plan, i need to:
Install cf-root using odin- this should give me root and CWM?
Backup ESF folder using nitrality (does this allow the folder to keep permissions)?
use usb jig to get rid of yellow triangle and reset counter if needed?
Download zip rom and flash through CWM or ODIN depending on rom

Newbie questions before rooting

I still have a few questions before rooting my phone for the first time.
1) if i root 2.3.6 using the right kernel, Can i still install an ics custom rom like resurrection?
2) if i root stock 4.0.3 Poland version or argentinian version, final result of installing a new custom Rom is gonna be the same because it completely replace the first one?
3) what's the difference between nandroid backup and cwm way to backup custom rom? Do i need to keep my backup inside the phone in order to unbrick it tomorrow, or may i just store it on my notebook and delete it from the phone?
Thanks a lot!!

1) Rooting is just to give you access to CWM.. ergo the ability to install custom ROMS so you can install ROMS after rooting
2) When you flash a new ROM (which is rooted) then you dont have to bother about what did you did before that..
3) If i'm not mistaken CWM only allows u to do a nandroid backup.. And if u want to restore to the backup ( in ur case unbrick :silly U need to have that in ur sd card :good:
Happy rooting.. Happy flashing..
1) Follow whatever instructions the rom you're wanting to use has to the letter.
2) If you install a custom rom, then yes, obviously it will replace any stock rom you flash it over the top of.
3) A CWM backup is a Nandroid backup. It's the same thing. You can store your backups wherever you want. I have my 4 most recent Nandroids on my phone, and I have every backup I've ever done on my phone stored on my PC (and another copy on an external drive I use for backups). So I guess the question you're asking is, can I take a Nandroid backup from ages ago stored on my PC, put it on my phone & restore it. Am I right ? If that's what you're asking, the answer is yes.
Thanks. Actually i was asking in case my phone bricks after installing a new rom. I guess i won't be able to come it back to life if i don t have the backup in the phone.
And one more thing. What is efs backup. Do I also need to do it?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. The 2nd thing you should do after your root your phone (first thing is do a Nandroid backup) is to get kTool from Google Play & backup your EFS. Before you install another rom or kernel do both of those.
Keep a copy on your external sdcard & keep another copy on your PC. Just in case you ever need it. We get quite a few people on here every week with IMEI/EFS details gone & most don't have EFS backups.
thanks!

I've actually used that app a few times well (about 5) and haven't had any issues but once you get CWM installed and you flash kernels through it you won't get the yellow triangle.

There will always be a risk when using anything that manupulates root access, but triangle away is quite safe, as for what kernel if works on, most kernel threads will say if it is compatiable or not, but only with ICS kernels, not GB kernels.
"...once you get CWM installed and you flash kernels through it you won't get the yellow triangle."
What do you mean by that? I actually don´t need to use the app, because triangle will dissapear anyway after flashing a Kernel?

You will still have the triangle after flashing a new rom or kernel, the best way to get rid of it is triagle away, this app will also reset your flash counter.
Once you get a working CWM, let's say you're using Cyanogenmod 9 and you want to flash over the stock kernel.
You'd put the kernel file on the memory of the device (sdcard) and boot in CWM recover and flash from there and you won't get the triangle.
The triangle won't go away now if you unless you use a USB jig or the triangle away app. So get rid of the triangle now and when you want to try a new kernel flash it through CWM and the triangle won't appear. Flash a kernel through download mode and you'll get the triangle.

Fixing permissions is automatic I believe in CWM recovery. It's an option in the recovery menu. Remember to wipe data and cache (dalvik too) when flashing a next rom or else you won't be able to boot.

Thanks for the info mate
By the way, you should really just buy a USB Jig off eBay for a few quid, it resets the custom binary counter (on old bootloaders) and can also force your phone into download mode after a bad flash. Handy to have around. Also, now that you have rooted your phone, download EFS Pro (found here on XDA) and back up your EFS folder before any flashing. Lose this folder and your in serious trouble!

Hi! When rooting or flashing a custom rom or kernel, do I lose internal sd card content?
Where is the EFS folder I need to backup?

s3 counter

Hi All,I'd be greatful if someone can advise me. My phones counter has changed to 1 annoyed because i wasn't on custom firmware or rooted at the time, i just reset my normal official firmware and the counter went up to 1. i need to change it back to 0 but it seems to be much harder than previous when ive done this.I rooted the s3 and have a custom firware on it just so i could install triangle away and reset the counter but the counter wont go below 1 anymore.i have tried to pull the battery just before the samsung logo s3 but its not working this time. I understand a stock recovery/bootloader would enable the counter to set to 0 without having to try and pull the battery. I am currently running team win recovery project 2.3.3.0.Anyone know where i get the stock from which I can run while rooted I assume or any other helpful tips?CheersFei

What state do you want the phone to be in? Do you want to continue running modified with counter of 0, or do you want to return to full stock with counter of 0?
There are several guides here on exactly how to do this, search and read for the full info.
To my knowledge you will have to downgrade your bootloader to the ICS version before factory reset, run triangle away then immediately flash stock recovery and ROM from Odin.
I've not done the above myself, so I'd recommend you read up first.

I want to return to stock because it needs to go to the shop. But the custom bootloader isnt letting the counter turn to 0 I read this is because its not stock. I tried pulling the battery before samsung logo after triangle reboots after resetting the counter but with this firmware its just not going back to zero. I understand I cant put stock firmware on until the counter is at zero because I won't be able to be rooted to use triangle.
Id just like to know what stock bootloader I should use to reset the counter. Then I can return to stock.
Thank you for replying

There are 2 methods.
1) Reset with triangle away and interupt reboot (pull battery immediately after Triangle away). This may take several attempts to get right. Then you boot into download mode. If binary counter is "0" (regardless of modified status = custom) then flash via odin
2) Flash an old bootloader (4.1.1) which you can get from any 4.1.1 official ROM on sammobile.com. There is a link to an ics bootloader in my SDS thread at the very bottom of the post too

Bootloaders since 4.1.2 and some 4.1.1 count the binary at every boot, which is why you must flash an ICS bootloader.
You also need to ensure you have stock kernel, stock recovery.
IMHO the best process would be:
Flash full stock with ODIN now.
Root with CF-AUTO root (must be AUTO) as this doesnt modify kernel or recovery
Then you should be able to triangle away and not go back to 1 on reboot.n ***If still not reset, flash ICS bootloader, then try triangle away again.
Flash stock again

I dont know why the count went up on its own in the first place, my phone just freaked out and started to reboot randomly and caused the count to go to 1 which is really annoying because i would have been blamed for something i didnt do.

Have no choice but to move back to a standard / stock ROM

Hi All,
I need to move back to a stock ROM I hope at least 4.1 as my girlfriend has just had the offical upgrade from Samsung and the phone works really well.
The reason for having to go back to a stock ROM leaving no trace the phone was had anything else on it is due to one reason only.
I use the world pay card payment terminal with my phone and this requires an app to be installed on the phone. However this will not work as the phone has a non standard rom.
I have tried to discuss this in the following thread however it look like I have no choice but to go back to a standard ROM.
My main question here is to find out is it possible to go back to a standard ROM and leave no trace the phone had ever been touched? Will I also have to change anything else like Radio as well?
Hope this all makes sence and sorry to any mods that this this is in the wrong place.
Thanks
Mathew
You can make a full wipe for ur phone and install
a fresh system from sammobile.com using odin software
its very easy really but make sure when u start downloading the system software from the sammobile
to choose your country from it if u wanna be more precise on it
Ok but will that reset the Binary Count as I think thats what the App could be looking at?
Is there a way to do that I have a Jig but it does not seem to reset the count as I had hopped.

A standard firmware should leave the binary untouched and set as official instead of custom. Another way of resetting it is triangle away app but thta will still leave you rooted etc and probably stil cause the problems using the app you need

You are correct about the trinagle away app as it would still be rooted.
Currently the binary has 3 couunts on it when I install the standard firmware will this reset to 0?
Also will my phone remail unlocked on all networks?

the binari will be reset n Yellow triangel will be gone....
What about the Kernal will I need to change that as well?
And will this leave the phone unlocked to any network?
About the binary count, i'm not sure if flashing stock resets it fully since i haven't had stock for about a year or so
But i have been told that flashing a stock firmware will reset the binary count to 0. You can always try for yourself
How did you know what binary count you had? Triangleaway?

It should do, I've recently put my old s2 back to stock and it is now showing 0 on binary but I have read in the past that there may be a hidden counter on some phones, not sure if the s2 is one of them, so if possible try triangle away to reset it (chainfire did a work round to reset any hidden counters) then flash back to stock.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter while your phone is still rooted, then flash stock rom with Odin. Stock phone with flash counter showing 'Samsung Official' & 'Custom Binary Download = 0'. Sorted.
Edit - Re: a hidden counter, you're being paranoid.
OK so we go with the following order
Step 1 - Reset Binary using triangle away app
Step 2 - Install Stock firmware from sammobile.com
Step 3 - Should I do somthing with the Kernal as this is not stock?
If you knew the basics (as opposed to jumping in without knowing the 'how & why'), you'd know stock rom packages contain stock kernels, which overwrite any kernel you're currently running (just as the stock rom within said package replaces whatever rom you're currently running).

So this means once I install the stock ROM the Siyah Kernel 4.1.5 will be removed and use the one included in the stock correct?

OK I have now re-set the Binary now I just need to pick the stock ROm and install.
However once I do this will the phone remain unlocked to any network?

[Q] Device not booting after using root triangle away

Hi,
I had cynogenmod 4.3 running on my s2. I wanted to remove warning triangle which comes while booting, so i bought root triangle away app and used it to reset the counter. But now my device doesn't boot, its getting stuck at samsung logo. I was able to go in download mode but not sure what to do. Pls help to bring my phone back .. :crying:
OK so if you can get into download mode then you're OK 99% of the time.
Flash a stock ROM, re root and then restore your backup.
Just a wile guess, is triangle away compatible with 4.3? Maybe run triangle away just after rooting while on the stock ROM still. Better yet, root by flashing philz kernel from stock JB recovery, that won't trigger the yellow triangle.

same here, what do for solve?
How to solve ? The answer is in that post of Hopper's you quoted; I.E flash a stock rom with Odin in DL mode.
Edit - Also, do not double post about the same issue. no need to create a thread about this issue and post to a 6 mth old thread about the same thing. You've been here more than long enough to know better than that.
