Search for "Triangle Away". This will reset your flash counter to 0 and should remove your warning. Also, the SuperSU app by the same author has the ability to fully restore to stock as well.

please read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III/GT-I9300
and this link http://m.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys3-i9300-unroot-official-firmware-reclaim-warranty-466933
maybe you can change the s3-i9300 to your own device.
that links work for me on s3. gain real unroot

[Q] Unroot Galaxy S2

Is there a way to unroot my phone without flashing stock roms via odin?
Id like to take my phone to service center i used triangle away to reset flash counter now only problem is to unroot my phone?
If you have SuperSU by Chainfire then simply click the app then settings. Scroll down to full unroot.
There are a number of root/unroot programs out there, that do not require you to reflash a firmware.
Here's one.

Or you could try mobile odin pro to flash an official firmware, from your phone.
Failing that Odin will be probably be your final option.

May I know why you are not able to use Odin?
That is a very simple way to root.
It depends on your current firmware/kernel. I was able to flash and never used Odin I've rooted the phone using exynos abuse as I had really vulnerable kernel, then I installed Recovery by rom manager and flashed stuff from the open recovery. But make sure that exynos abuse works for your firmware before using it and make sure you know what you are doing and don't touch anything else then root option in this program
I install samsung kies. But still when i connect my S3 to my PC nothing happen. Sorry for my bad english

The date of purchase means nothing. I know that you have stock firmware, but there are many stock firmware versions (even if all are 4.1.2) and they have different vulnerabilities. I was at XXELL4 kernel at stock, which is old and vulnerable, but you may be on one of the newest kernel which can't be abused without ODIN. Please take more time to read guides and get more familiar with the phone, as your next post might start by "I've bricked my phone, please help" You will survive few days at stock rom and it seems that you don't know the basics

KIES & Odin do not play well together, hence you should deinstall KIES in case you want to use Odin, will save you a lot of time solving connection issues.
Otherwise as mentioned.

Do not use Kies!
All you need to do is install the drivers of your phone and once that is
done and Kies is opened infront of you open, go to
Task Manager > Processes > Remove All Kies Related Applications
and then use Odin to root your phone.
1. Provide us with kernel version.
2. Are you on ICS/JB?
3. Are you on OS X? If you are use Heimdall; Mac alternative to Odin. Otherwise there is no reason why you should use anything other than Odin/Heimdall, just flash CF Root.
what do you need root for? if you don't know the difference between Kies and Odin, don't root it, you'll brick it

samsung galaxy tab 2 p3100
What method did you use? I believe if you used cf auto root, just restore the stock backup, use triangle away, then unroot via supersu.

Check out this guide to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957160&highlight=cf+root
With most samsung devices, there is a flash counter built in which shows if you have modified anything. When you root, your counter will be tripped thus your warranty voided. However there is an app called Triangle Away which allows you to reset the counter to 0.
hey ... one more thing
do i need to create a backup before rooting the tablet ???

Rooting difference from S2 to S3

So my S2 died the other day and I went to buy a i9300. Now I've been searching about S3 rooting and I've found conflicting info on this.
So when I first rooted my old S2 I did it with a temporary CWM that disapeared ofter reboot stayed in stock with stock kernel and kies was able to update my firmwsre without deleting root. I actualy updated from 2.3.5 to ICS via kies without removing root or loosing it after.
I was wondering if the same could be done with the i9300 I want to remain stock for now and don't want to replace stock recovery with CWM. Is there a temporary CWM for S3 so I can push the SU binary to system part without flashing anything over stock?

I did try the search button. The only thing i found was someone talking about the new recovery in S3 only flashing signed packages from samsung or something like that.
Thats why i opened a new thread to see if someone had some new info on it.

CF-AUTO ROOT. Installs only the SuperSU app. Does not install custom recovery. Dunno about updates, though. I think it supports OTA.

Use CF Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273 Download Odin and the CF auto root for your phone all instructions are on this thread
You can still update via Kies as long as everything is kept stock even though its rooted but you wont get any OTA updates that wont work

Thanks. So that method everything stays stock including recovery and o xan still use kies. Will a kies update erase root or will it be like with the s2 where the root sticks after the update?

Yes the update will remove root but after update simply flash root with odin again, only takes a few minutes

Thanks. Going to try it. By the way staying in stock means no init.d scripts right?

[Q] OTA updates doesn't work

i need help please!! i have instaled on my samsung galaxy s3 gt-i9300 SU PROversion and the triangle away...i can make OTA updates but when is installing it stops every time on 25%...any sugestions??
Hey man. I think u should use triangle away. Then unroot.. then format. Then wipe everything else.. then download some ROM or try kies firmware upgrade. That's how i got some updates. Actually custom ROMs are way better than stock and when ultimately or phone crashes, u can revive it using kies firmware upgrade.
