hey guuys i have International Gt-I9300 4.1.2 and i Rooted and did a Nandroid backup then flashed A custom rom ..
After a while i Restored my Nandroid backup an used (triangle away) to return status to Normal then removed Root
now when i press Update it tells " the latest updates are already installed"
NOTE: REMOVED ROOT and Status is NORMAL
Do i have a problem updating or i just have to wait for my turn to get OTA updates even my sister's S3 got the 4.3 update ???
i noticed that CWM recovery is on my mobile but i dont open it because it turns the mobile to Modified again !! IS that an associated problem or what ??????????
You have to flash a stock rom via Odin to get back to fully non rooted status....

thanks for replay
you mean just download and install the stock rom and every thing will return to normal ?
yap the stock rom you have to flash with odin contains the whole original software
after flashing its like ure unboxing the phone after buying it
it will whipe all your data even the root acces and the cwm ure back on stock recovery afterwards.

if you dont know how to use odin look here in the xda forum for a tutorial
after flashing go to recovery and whipe data/cash
Hi everyone, today I've obtained XXBLFB by OTA on my samsung Galaxy s3 and before I was in lf2 with CF root (last version) .
Since I've updated I don't have superuser rights anymore on some applications, and finally I want to unroot my device, but SuperUser app is still on my phone, and the phone status is : Custom .
I was okay to flash stock kernel but I don't have it, there's only roms , if I re-flash the rom will the root delete himself ?
Because I just get the rom by ota and it's still here .
Please help :laugh:

You have to root your phone again with the latest CF Root and install TrianleAway 1.51 and reset the flash counter and reset the status. After reboot go in the SU app and delete root and reboot.
Ok thanks i'll do that , but CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip is not downloadable right now ? chainfire website isn't working ,do you have this file please ?

if you are unrooting for waranty purpose, just unrooting and unistalling root apps are not enough, you have to flash the stock firmware through ODIN, after reseting counter with Triangle Away. Samsung service center can make out by simply booting your phone, since T-Away can not reset the status of your phone showing "modified" in the status of the phone in about phone menu,
so just follow the steps for these mentioned by Chainfire in his CF-root thread
ZACQ8 is right, just hope your up to flashing with Odin.
Here is a tutorial how i did it:
If you want to use Odin first download a stock firmware from www.sammobile/firmware, pick the rom of your country and download it.
Extract it once from .rar to md5 file.
Readup a bit, it isn`t hard but there are a few things you must know:
1. Enable usb debugging on your phone
2. Go into downloadmode (volume down + power + menu all at the same time)
3. See if IDCOM light up yellow and in the left bottom window it says added when you connect your phone to the pc.
4. Unzip the downloaded file ONCE into a .tar or md5 file if you haven`t
5. Place that file in the PDA section.
6. Do not tick anything, only f.reset.time and autoreboot should be ticked.
7. Start
8. Rebooting automaticly.
Close Kies, also everthing Kies related in task manager before flashing!

I don't really understand, (i'm french) will I be able to totally delete root on my s3 or not ?
Chainfire website won't work
Before with my galaxy s2, event it was root in every firmware, I've reflash a stock firmware and warranty worked, impossible for S3 ?
and, btw I don't have any triangle or other thing, I just have flash counter
edit : finally i'll do that :
"- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official"
Thanks

Dude, as you told before, when you updated through OTA XXLF2 to XXLBFB your root access already desabled, your phone is no more rooted now,
tell me what you really want now, do you want to root your phone again???
EDIT : yes you have to follow the above steps to get a fully factory fresh phone...
I had to re-root because I need to use triangle away, but I want to clean my phone ,no more root, I will follow the step below
Thanks !
In fact: I tought it was impossible to get back my warranty
Thanks for all ! :good:

Hai there,
I've problem with system status in download mode, on rooted stock xeo jb rom on my gt-i9300.
System status: Samsung official - custom
First problem appears after updating system to jelly bean, cf root-ing and using triangle away - system status remains as listed above.
I've readed, that the problem isn't root, but custom recovery installed with cf.
So:
I flashed rom again, and rooted using s3 toolbox - clear root, without flashing reco. Used triangle away and... nothing. Still Samsung official - custom is showed.
Halp.

Hey, thanks for your reply!
I knew this trick before, but unfortunately, on jb it doesn't work for me. Today i followed those steps again:
Factory format - flash via Odin - flash root using s3 toolbox (w/o recovery) - TA - factory format
And still system/binary status is Samsung official - custom
note that factory format has been made by code.

Why not follow the steps i gave ..
Run TA
Flash STOCK firmware and factory reset after .
Possible of my method does not work its the root program you use .
Also see post regarding rom counter not resetting posted in the last few days .
jje
Does this method works with cf root?
After flashing rom and rooting shouldn't I use triangle before factory reset?
Send from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2 & Swype
Repeat
Run TA ( you will obviously need to be rooted and i have no knowledge of any other root method bar CF Root )
Flash stock rom via Odin .
Reboot
Factory reset
Check status .
jje
Followed your steps - still the same :<
could you give me link to thread you talking about?

Stag I could be wrong but if you follow JJEgans steps you should be fine but the second u apply root after your fresh install youll get a custom status again. Also if your using mobile odin pro to flash stock rom youll more than likely have ever root selected and again this will keep the custom status as your newly flashed rom will have root.(i.e modified so custom)
That's the problem, on ics i could have official status with root, and working OTA, even with modified nfc.apk to trigger nfc while screen was off, just used TA...
On jb, after flashing cf or other root w/o custom recovery neither factory format and TA works... TA just resets flash counter and system status to Samsung official, but binary remains "custom", so automatically OTA stops working >.<

Hello,
My phone can't update the latest firmware via settings > more > phone-info > software-update. It will download and reboot in update/download mode, but then stops updating and reboots normal. It says can't update firmware, try via Kies or a Samsung Centre. Kies says the phone is not supported...

I've rooted my phone in the past, but im now back on the Netherlands stock rom (see the image below). I would like to have my phone original (no root et cetera). I had problems with my IMEI (previous topic).
Should I flash CWM Recovery (via this tut) and root my phone (via this tut), backup EFS/IMEI (via one of the backup/restore apps in the topic) and flash stock rom again (via this tut) OR should I just follow this tut. I'm afraid I lose my IMEI this way.
Thanks!
Please help!
Hey
Boot your phone in download mode (vol down+ home+ power) then hit vol up when prompted..
Tell me what you see there..

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-19300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
It says 2 because of CWM and Root I just flashed. Before I also had a CWM, root en Custom rom but when I went back on stock I lost my IMEI because of the basebands. Then I flashed the UK stock rom (that one had a newer baseband the Netherlands one). After the Netherlands got the new baseband, I flashed that one, but around 28 march there came a new update available and that's when I found out it won't update... I think it has to do with the past of my phone...
Hey
You are right..use an app called Triangle Away made by Chainfire..Google it..
Then try to flash stock ROM via odin..but u need to be rooted first..

My phone is rooted now. Should I back up my IMEI first and then flash the stock rom after I Used Triangle Away? Im afraid to lose my IMEI again... I Could also follow this tut maybe?
Hey
It would be safer that's all..try using philz recovery for that..
Also u need not flash a stock recovery before a full flash, as told in the guide..but you can just follow it word to word..
I always use triangle away and then directly flash firmware using Odin..

Hey
Can u boot into recovery and tell me what u see now?
Do you have your phone serial number written down? It's under the battery, just above where the IMEI is written down. If you plug in KIES, and select the option "Emergency Firmware Recovery", with your phone on, then enter in your serial number, and the model number of the phone, (GT-I9300), you will be able to download the OEM firmware. It will wipe EVERYTHING from the phone, so make sure you have all of your crucial data backed up. If you can't get KEIS to work, you can restart the phone in download mode, and flash the OEM ROM with ODIN.

Hey
Check if the firmware is kies supported i.e; if it was official released via kies to the phone..
