Reset flash counter without triangle away? I9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I'm facing a serious problem now.
The motherboard of my device has spoilt. But when I send in to warranty they rejected as I've root my s3. It stuck at the boot screen when I switched it on. I've tried to flash the stock firmware but no avail. I know triangle away can fix the flash count. But I couldn't even switch on my device. Is there any alternative to reset the flash count and unroot my device using pc? Probably Odin or other software. Or reset it using any .zip file in CWM recovery mode? I seriously need your help. Thank you very much!

If you can boot into Download or Recovery then your phone is only soft brick, you have several options to recover it - the most expensive would be to send it to service.
Search, read and learn in general forum stickies.

Go to recovery and flash your rom again with full wipe or go to download mode to flash the stock rom with ODIN.
Good luck

thanks! tried it,
i can't get it into recovery mode,
it won't go past the SGS2 logo,
it will however go into download mode, if this can be of any help?!
Thanks!
apologies!
have not read the post properly,
will try through ODIN,
cheers!
Change the title of your thread. Your phone was never bricked (bricked phones don't boot/download mode & recovery aren't accessible)/TA did nothing of the sort to your phone.

If you stuck at s2 logo then go to recovery mode and do Wipe Data /Factory reset and Wipe Cache . Reboot . It will work

[Q] Help...not booting!

Hi guys, I hope you can help....my phone has the latest cyanogenmod ROM installed and all has been running well...until today.I had the phone on charge and when I tried to boot it was getting stuck on the 'samsung galaxy s iii GT-I9300' screen..I have rebooted to recovery cleared cache, delvik cache and installed the ROM again, rebooted and still not working, so I repeated the same steps but also done factory reset, still the same. I have tried to connect the phone to pc but it is failing to load MTP usb drivers ....which I think is a unrelated issue.
I'm sure I should be able to get it going via recovery, have been trying all day...is there something I should be doing that I haven't tried already?
Hope somebody can help as I'm pulling my hair out!
Thanks in advance.

flash official firmware from sammobile.com via odin
Is product name blank in download mode, if yes then you have SDS and need a new motherboard. If no then flash stock rom using odin after full wipe and format of system & data, factory reset in recovery after flash and see if it boots.

If you can go into recovery mode, it's not SDS, if you have backup just restore it, or go into download mode and flash stock Samsung firmware.
Make sure that you have latest Samsung drivers on your computer installed.Good luck.
Hi guys...
Thanks for the replies, I'm in the process of downloading the latest stock ROM, I didn't realise it was such a big file 800+MB!
Donna
still no luck
Hi guys,

After installing stock with odin did you do a factory reset straight away?

Well,as much as I have read about SDS, you can't go into recovery mode,you can go only into download mode and there is blank product name.So maybe to OP it's a different situation, and to OP I would suggest to check if product name on download mode isn't blank.

Unfortunately not
1) Complete eMMC failure. This usually happens over night whilst on charge* - The LED may be lit but the phone will not wake. Subsequent removal of the battery will turn off the LED. You will never get the LED back on. The phone will never turn on again. It needs to go to a service centre and have the motherboard replaced
* Being on Charge is NOT the cause. This is a writing to memory issue and it is more likely to happen when teh device is awake rather than in deep sleep. When the S3 is on charge, it holds a wake lock (so remains awake) throughout the entire charging period, meaning SDS is more likely to occur when on charge This does not mean you should avoid charging your phone. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen
2) Half SDS as it has not-so-affectionately become known. This tends to be more of a boot loop of the Samsung boot splash. the eMMC is partially wiped out. You cannot boot into android or recovery . It fails at the boot screen, but the screen does turn on none-the-less. The only; thing you can do is top boot into Download mode.
Hi guys
Just to clarify, the product name on download mode isn't blank....and yes I tried the reset after loading from odin.

Are you able to get the phone into recovery mode? If so, a factory reset should solve the boot issue.
If not, then it is worth trying to flash the stock firmware via ODIN.
Are you able to enter recovery or download mode?

Flash back to stock with Odin and don't forget to factory reset after flashing or you could even try flashing PhilZ recovery with odin boot into PhilZ after flashing and factory reset see if that works if not flash stock and start again.

Quite possible but have you tried all the options first like (1) flashing back to stock with Odin also if you have flashed back to stock with Odin did you factory reset after flashing? (2)rescue firmware (only use as last resort because it containes a pit file)

Hi tallman just got my SIII back from samsung service center, they said ther is an I C not working, but now justried to flash philz recover Odin failed to ans it says something non Pit file something like that.
If an IC isn't working then pay for the repair or buy a new phone, flashing won't fix a dead chip.
