So yeah, I would like to know if it is possible to flash it on stock 4.0.4, unrooted kernel with Odin. I seem to have a sane chip.
And can I do a backup using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223 without tripping the flash counter, rooting or overwriting the stock recovery (so without any traces of doing so)?
yeah you can, odin / mobile odin (pro version will get you rooted while flashing)

You can also back things up with online nandroid back up

It's a temporary recovery so does that mean it will be removed on the next boot and doesn't permanently replace the stock recovery or leaves any traces?
CMW? gone once you flash a stock ROM.
After that, you can flash it again and be able to restore the back up you made.

well....since you'll flash cmw you could easily root it while you at it.
What's that thread you posted about? CMW or a kernel?

you can flash LS8 via odin. for rooting you can flash Philz latest CWM.
incase if you want to unroot flash back stock KS8 via odin.
Apparently the backup worked, I got no triangle on boot and the recovery disappeared when I powered my phone off so everything went just how I wanted

Official ROM don't trigger those 2.
Triangle away clears them, as well as a USB jig.
Mobile odin also don't trigger them.
You're good.

Now that I have made a backup of everything, should I install XWLS8 with a full wipe or not? Which one do you recommend? And I have a sane chip so is it possible to brick my device that way?
Sane chip = off the hook.
Try flashing without wipping, if you get lag or issues than yeah, factory reset.
Works both ways.

Ok, so the process to going back 100% stock is:
1. Reflash my backup stock ROM
2. Reflash the stock recovery ROM
3. Unroot
4. Factory reset
Is this correct?

I don't think so. IMO factory reset just deletes user apps and resets the settings to default. I may be wrong though, since I've never tried it.
What is actually the whole purpose of this effort? Are you going to RMA the phone? In that case, just flash it via KDZ, greet it with 3-finger salute when done and take it to the service center/shop.

Hello,
I am currently running on stock Rom BUKJ3 (2.3.5) rooted with DoomLord toolkit V4 and stock kernel BUKJ3.
Is there a way that a can flash ClockWorkMod recovery without changing my kernel version ?
I have Rom manager installed, is it ok to flash ClockWorkMod with it ?
Sorry about the noob questions and thanks in advance for your help
Kernel and recovery are part of the same SGS2 partition, so are flashed as a combo.
ROM Manger is NOT compatible with SGS2 CWM Revovery, so don't use it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If you're just after the recovery with a stock kernel, check Chainfire thread here: flash the closest matching kernel. Will give root and CWM recovery, else flash a custom kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Edit:
1. You can use Hellcat hc-kTool (free on market) to dump your current kernel as zImage directly to sdcard before flashing Chainfire kernel.
2. Once CF kernel and CWM recovery is installed, then use the tool to flash back your original kernel, but you will keep root and CWM recovery.

Ok I get it... so basically need to flash a kernel with CWM already embedded.
"CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5" should be a good choice since it´s not the same kernel as mine "BUKJ3" but it’s as close as it gets, right?
I have already rooted with DoomLords toolkit and I read that CF_root kernel also adds root, is that going to be a problem?
I also have mobile Odin installed, can I flash CF_root with it so the flash counter doesn’t increase?

Should work, else try a custom kernel with CWM recovery.
Won't be a problem, as most custom kernels will auto root every time you flash them anyway.
According to Chainfire thread, it won't increase if zImage flashed through the installed CWM Manager app. So, can't see why the CF-root zImage would increase the counter with mobile Odin.
Best bet for longer term is to purchase a USB jig from Ebay and reset the counter that way. Much easier, and advantage to force phone into dl mode if your ever semi-bricked.

And also a great thanks to Chainfire for is great work!
No worries.
Just another piece of advice. Do a little trading on EFS backup. Flashing has a minimal chance of corrupting this file and contains the phone IMEI. If this becomes corrupted, you won't be able to use the phone for anything other than an alarm clock, and can't be restored flashing through Odin or nan-droid.
There are backup tools on the market and XDA. I use Hellcat hc-kTool and also GSII Repair to backup to sdcard and for safe keeping copy on PC.
Happy flashing

I can only find the guide to revert to stock with root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 And im also confused on what would be considered "stock" now since im pretty sure what originally came in the phone has been updated.
FYI im running AOKP milestone 6, and i also have a jig if that makes any difference. (also is there a flash counter i need to worry about?)
I have a captivate, and i used to use the one click odin flash to get it completely stock, is there anything like this for this phone?
I guess my last resort would be to do what they said in the thread linked, and then figure out a way to unroot?

1. Before you flash anything make sure your battery is charged...
2. Stock now would be UCLE5 ICS don't flash that tho it has a major bug in the kernel, KK6 has issues as well KH7 would be your best bet depending on what you want to do with the phone I will link you to two other threads at the bottom.
3. As long as you're flashing a stock package you won't trip the flash counter...
4. If you flash the stock no root KH7 package and it wont boot after, boot in to 3e recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If it does boot then boot back in to 3e and wipe data/factory reset to reduce any chance of FC's and issues...

if i install CF-root first... without cwm and later, install the package that has CF-root + cwm combined.. will this conflict with the earlier installed cf-root without cwm?..
***update****
when 4.1 hits, i can update trough kies?.. or do i have to unroot for that, and remove cwm?.. how does this exactly work... ive read other places.. it wont do ota's now..
Also, what would happen if i mistakingly did the re-partition thing?..
CF-Root (for the SGS3, anyway - can't comment on other phones) always comes with CWM as it's CWM that actually installs SuperSU etc. on the phone

As your device is already rooted, I would suggest that, there are a few ROMs available on XDA that supports the OTA. you can install them to have OTA available. as in your phone currently OTA will not support because you have just rooted the phone, there are some changes to be done in the system after rooting the phone so that it will support OTA.
Long story short,,,
Install the ROM with OTA support. done... happy flashing...
No you can't get official OTA's now, but you can still download and flash official stock jellybean firmwares and flash them to your phone. Chances are they'll be on xda before you ever get an OTA anyway.
As for repartition in Odin, that will repartition your internal storage and wipe your data and may corrupt your filesystem which -may- be irreversible. Stay away unless told otherwise, some situations call for that to be used but only in emergencies and following strict instructions.
As for the guy above that is talking about OTA's, he is getting confused between official OTA's and custom ROM OTA's.
Some custom ROMs support OTA updating, but it will be a custom ROM.

How do i do this though?.. i mean, if i bootup recovery (cwm) factory reset / wipe data / cache/ and dalvik.. i cant let it reboot and use odin... since 4.1 will still be on it.. do i need to press the hardware buttons when being in recovery to get into download mode instead?.. what's the solution to this...
i hope its not too complicated to understand, i'm not english.

you cant recieve OTA from the samsung if your phone is rooted.
yes you need to wipe dalvik cache.
Hi everyone. Is is true that there is a flash counter on the S3? So even if I flash a stock rom (which i did) with Odin, it'll still increase and so I wont be able to use warranty if i ever need to?
I don't plan to root my phone, and i just used a different stock rom because my old one had the freezing-bug that happens a lot lately, so what do i have to do in case i ever have the need to send the cell to repair?
Thanks in advance.
it's true.
no, stock roms don't increase it

You totally sure about this?
Thanks again...
I hope this is the right topic and I tried to find my problem but I couldn't.
While ago I had CWM flashed and Cm 10.1 running. Then there was some problem with my kernel so it kept freezing 1-5 minutes after boot. So I reflashed Samsungs ROM and it worked again. Then I flashed CWM again and tried to reset the flash counter using Triangle Away. It worked but always went back to one after reboot. So I installed CM 10.1 again and tried again and same problem.
When I had CM 10.1 installed first it worked perfectly. I could flash CWM and it wouldn't increase the counter.
I just flashed it again and tried to reset it again, but still the same problem. Do you guys have any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance
you have to be stock for it to be zero. CWM is not stock
Simple procedure
Run triangle away
Flash stock Rom
Enter recovery and factory reset (wipes data and internal sd)

But the thing is I got it to zero on CWM as well
Okay so basically I'm just holding on and leave it like this since I don't need my warranty right now and if I need it I'm running Triangle Away and then flash Stock.
I still think it's weird because it worked a couple days ago.

Thanks for your answer. With which version of CWM does it work?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I think your confusion has arisen because originally you had an old bootloader....then when you flashed back to Samsung Rom if it was a later version it may have updated bootloader and that's why it always shows 1 now.You can flash back to the older bootloader if you want and your situation should be back to where it was in first place
Okay that makes sense. So if I wanted it to be zero and back on stock I would reset it, power off then in download mode then flash stock ROM again and then I'd a data wipe and my counter should be zero. Am I right?
Thanks for your help!!!
