Hi all, I wanted to update my Galaxy S3 (I9300) to the latest firmware and get rid of root seeing as I wasn't using any root features anyways. Jailbreaking IOS is fish pie for me, but Android does my head in (purely because I haven't put in the same amount of time because Android kicks ass straight outta the box ^.^)
I unrooted, did a factory reset and then updated via Kies. My phone still displays my flash counter as 2 and device status as modified.
How can I get back to fully-factory from here?
Big sloppy kiss if anyone can help XD
Cheers, K.

I recently rooted my phone and upgraded to leaked official ics. I prefer gingerbread and looking to go back. When using Odin to return me to stock, i get to the initial setup where i touch the android bot and it wont work due to force closing.
Is there anyway I can successfully go back to the 2.3.6? I have searched the threads but can't find anything that actually works. Please help.
Btw. upgrading to ics, I lost root.
All the help i have gotten thus far hasn't worked at all.. does anyone really know how to fix this?

After that go into 3e recovery (3 finger salute) and do factory reset.
Put your flame suit on.

No flaming necessary. Thread closed.
I've been having a few issues with my phone recently. I'm running a stock, non rooted rom.

Recently, my camera stopped working all together after trying the Poland rom. I reverted back to the stock rom, and let it do OTA updates to get it up to date. Once I did that, the camera started working just fine, until today. When I attempt to take photos, they come out with purple/pink streaks on them. They show both when I take the photo (they scroll across the screen), and in the photo itself. Has anyone run into this before?
Anyone?

Did you update your camera firmware? There is a guide in general section that shows you how. I would try that.

I haven't, but, the phone and camera firmwares are the same
And now, when I start the camera I'm getting "an unknown error occurred"
I guess I'll have to ship it back to Samsung and hope they fix it. It's on an official rom and says custom binary download: no with an official system status in download mode, so I should be okay right?
Thanks for the help

Geez, colourful post, looks like a selling ad.
Now, have you tried update via OTA (over the air)?
That image with the android logo is called "download mode", you can enter by pressing power button + home button + vol down at the same time. There you can flash whatever ROM you want.
My advice is, instead of posting this kind of post, read the forum and learn about updates, modes and whatnot.
It'll take you a couple of hours, yes, but that info just cannot harm you.

Hey all,
I hope you are doing well.
I switched off my brother's Galaxy Mega Plus (gt-19158p) and it won't turn on again !!

then I went to download recovery app from this site https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxymega58.html, I granted it a SuperUser permission and then installed blackbox, all of that when it was working on
I got the command to restart the phone from the app, but when I press yes nothing happens!! so I SWITCHED IT OFF !
It won't switch on, regardless of removing the battery or putting it in the charger ! no signs of life
ANY HELP pleeeeeeeeese !
