[Q] Can I triangle away with faulty screen? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My I9100 has an unresponsive screen and is still under warranty, or would be if it wasn't rooted!
So there's the problem, can I return to stock and do all I need to do to get it fixed under warranty without using the screen?
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can.
Find a stock fimrware for your region and flash it via odin mode in your device. No need to do anything on the screen.

Can I use Triangleaway without using the screen? I've tried to install Triangleaway v3.26 through CWM but it fails, I'm running 4.1.2 JB and I've just read I need to be on 4.0 ICS, I downloaded the stock ICS but if I flash that I won't be rooted so won't be able to reset the counter, will it work if I revert to a 4.0 custom ROM to run Triangleaway then go back to stock?

that will reset the counter on an i9100, do these work?

Thanks. And thanks for a quick reply. But will it add a number in the Flash Counter.
Thanks.
Yes, but you can erase the flash counter with the jig that costs about £1
Stock roms do not add to custom rom counter .
ROOTING OR CUSTOM ROMS DO stock DOES NOT .

Why return it to stock? I would recommend flashing an i9305 recovery from Odin then flashing an i9305 pre-rooted ROM via recovery....
However, heres how to return it to stock.

You need it to boot (With rooted) to be able to reset the counter though. It may not even need resetting yet though. Check download mode for info

Hey man, he is using the 19305 model from Australia.
I just need a link that refers me a site or post that will let me download the Stock rom, or any rom that will allow the s3 to be usable again.

You will need to flash a custom recovery after. I recommend twrp. Then you can start flashing custom roms.

Download the img.tar and flash through odin.
Or root first, then install flashify from play store and you can flash twrp directly from there

I'm 99% sure you won't get bootloop flashing the auto root. But download stock ROM just in case if this happens just flash the stock ROM. But like I said it's slim chance that this will happen.
The first time you flash cf auto root it may bootloop like 2 times but it is completely normal

No, you can reset the flash counter but knox will always be 0x1 (tripped) to be honest not many people or too bothered about knox. I've had my phone in for repair a few times with tripped knox. Samsung never even checked
