Hi,

I tried to Rood and install the latest apk of TriangleAway (TriangleAway-v3.10.apk) and I clicked on Reset counter - but I still have (11)
.
Anyone can tell me what do i do wrong?

Are you sure you're rooted? How did you root it?
Try searching/asking about this issue in the thread meant for Triangle Away app:

Thanks!
My problem was my kernel - it wasnt stock.
I must have stock kernel in order to make Trianlge Away works

i am not lazy searching and reading for over an hour now but yeh im a noob.. i have a rooted samsung galaxy s2. running Hydrogen ICS. Getting all set up for galaxy s 3 and wanna sell SGS2 out. so i just wanna unroot it.. reset the binary code and remove yellow triangle. wanna install latest firmware available on sammobile but need a complete guide if someone could help me out thankyou.
Search harder.
Essentially you need to flash the appropriate firmware for your carrier/area in Odin and use a USB jig to reset the counter if you flash back to Gingerbread. If you are flashing back to ICS you can use Chainfire's Triangle Away app before the flash in Odin.
That's only a loose guide, but should help. There are plenty of guides around if you look hard enough.
Well guys as the title says itself, is there any safe, easy method of rooting S3 on 4.1.1 without triggering the flash counter and with stock recovery like CF Auto Root? But Auto root may trigger flash counter. So can anyone please tell anything about this matter? It's just i bought my S3 yesterday, not so snappy as expected, want to remove useless stock apps n etc but also want to be on the safe side.
Regards
rooting is completely safe. You can reset the counter later, because rooting in itself voids the warranty. But it's perfectly reversible, so you can revert to a fully stock phone with a zero counter.
If you are on the latest ELLA bootloader, the counter will be at 1 if you are rooted or modified in any way.
On older bootloaders use triangle away after rooting to reset the counter

Can anyone tell me if i have the order right here please to use a stock firmware.
On an unrouted stock firmware s3...
Use Galaxy S3 Root Toolkit to install cw recovery to root
Install and use triangle
Use superuser to unroot.
Reset factory settings

You would like to get stock firmware, but you are allready on stock... So what do you really want to do?
But if you're asking for future sake, if you are rooted. You just need to use triangle away, flash stock rom and factory reset.
No need to remove root from SuperUser.
Sorry to clear it up what it is. I took my phone in for a repair today but all they did was flashed it leaving the count at 1. I want it back to 0 so i need to root.
Hey guys,
Could someone please help me with my problem. I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I had my fully working, factory unlocked from Three carrier GT-I9300 with 4.1.2 version, however yesterday I decided to updated my phones firmware via Odin 3.07 to 4.3 I9300XXUGML3. Everything went smoothly but after a while i noticed that it does not have any reception.
In phones status it shows:
Network: Unknown
Service state: Out of Service
My Phone Number: Unknown
IMEI: 00499901640000
Device status: Official
I figured it out that culprit might be IMEI code, so I reinstalled 4.3 version a few times but without success. After that I rooted my phone with Kingo Android root in order to fix my reception problem but It did not work out. In the end I thought to just send it to Samsung's warranty.However before sending phone I wanted to run TriangleAway in order to reset my binary count, but It does not resets. I thought that Knox might be stopping it from resetting as it's 4.3, however phone does not have Knox installed in it, even when in Download mode there is nothing written about Knox.
So I'm now in a pickle as I have:
-Corrupted IMEI
-No Reception
-TriangleAway does not resets binary
-Knox nowhere to be found (But I guess it's a good thing)
It would be really good to at least to reset binary count in order to send it to warranty to just forget about this mess :laugh:
Any ideas what is going on? I could not find any solution or problem which is similar to mine.
Triangle away won't work on later bootloader, downgrade to ICS bootloader.

Isn't there a high chance of bricking phone while downgrading from 4.3 to ICS?
I tried now to flash my phone with stock I9300XXUGMK6 firmware in order to root it with CF-Auto-Root and then use Triangle Away to reset my binary counter. However It did not reset it.
Before that tried CWM, flashed kernel, flashed modem, used mobile odin. Sadly everything was in vain. I'm at loss now, don't know what do to. Maybe i'm doing something wrong? Maybe there is some kind of problem with the phone?

Fixed
So I fixed it!
I had Mk6 firmware installed with cf-auto root.
After that I installed Boeffla's kernel (beta5 version) with mobile Odin and used TriangleAway 3.26 in order to reset my binary counter. Immediately after using mobile Odin again I installed official mk6 firmware and voila! Everything official and binary count set to 0, however I still had problem with IMEI and network so I sent phone to samsung as I have warranty.
Thanks everyone for helping out
I have Samasung Galaxy S3 I9300 and I have installed Cyanogenmod CFW.
Now, I want to revert back to Original OS. But, when I use triangle away app to reset the counter, it shows counter as 1, binary as custom. Do I have to install Stock ROM and stock Kernel before flashing it through ODIN. I am bit confused in this .
Can you please tell me the steps I need to follow to get back to original OS ? and also if you can provide the links for any. Thanks a lot in advance
Some phones show 1 in binary counter even if you have original stock firmware

Install stock ROM, root and install BusyBox, then use Triangle Away. It will always show 1 if you have custom ROM/Recovery installed, but if you do it in this order, it should work. Reflash stock afterwards to lose root if you want.
