When you flash anything with Odin it increases your bin counter you can see it if you go into download mode.It tells Samsung how may times you have flashed your device although you can reset it with triangle away.You cannot by pass it only reset it, to avoid increasing it just flash custom roms with a custom recovery this does not increase the counter.

I currently do not have any need of custom rom, just want a kernel for stock 4.3 with OC support.
can you mention links?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need to install only a recovery, because a custom rom brings ROOT. I'll use ODIN, where I can find recoverys in tar format, because the one I have, is the site of ClockworkMod and is in zip.
Thanks to all.

why do you need a recovery if you are not going to install custom roms. You already have the stock recovery to whatever you are going to do

Lol, you must know that CWM is integrated into the kernel, so if you need CWM you must install a custom kernel(insecure kernel) having CWM, and all custom kernels are made to enable rooting, trying to push CWM into stock kernel(secure kernel) is pretty dangerous and you might brick your phone, and stock has its on recovery mode which you can use. Anyway before performing any wipe or factory reset check whether if you have super brick bug if you are running ICS 4.0.4, and stupid question or not try including more details about your phone.

Ok.
Before anything thanks.
I want to install a CUSTOM ROM, like cyanogem, slim bean, etc. So your idea is install a kernel, but I can install recovery and then custom rom, right?
And this insecure kernel, can you give me the link to download?
Thanks.
P.S. - My SII have Gingerbread 2.3.5. original, I don't have touch in nothing.

I suggest you to update your phone to official ICS before flashing an insecure kernel
Hi guys.
Well I was teaching my friend via FB how to use Odin to root his s3, unfortunately he forgot to mention that he was using the 4g version 19305.

I just want to be able to restore his phone to stock, unroot and reset counter.
ANy help is truly appreciated.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
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.

THx in advance...
My Phone :

Of course you can, there are a couple of threads/posts about it. You just need to read them.
And don't worry about the bootloader.

Can i get a conform instruction on how to do this?i prefer not to do this with odin..because i already have a custom recovery...my recovery is CWM 5.0.3...do i need to upgrape my recovery first?
So you want to flash it via CWM, that's a completely different question.
You can also search for that.
Don't wanna flash with odin?
Mobile Odin might be the best tool for you.

i already search for it...i found
1. Stock rooted deoxed rom 4.1.2 <<< -- to install this i need CWM for JB
2. Root on stock recovery <<<< -- to install this i need stock rom and stock recovery
3.CWM on stock recovery <<< --- to install this also need stock recovery
-stock rom and recovery mean using odin...and i dont want to use odin...
From all thing above..i need to know how to do this with ICS CWM that i already have....IF there is anyway pls let me know...
sorry for my bad english...
can at least give me a link to where this instruction on how to do this??
Check out Mobile Odin.
And I think you want the deoxed ROM via CWM.

The S3 has a separate recovery partition unlike the S2 so Kernel, ROM and recovery are completely unrelated.

You can flash what you want. There are several ROMs, recoveries and kernels.
Have a read of my "understanding the basics before rooting" thread as there is a lot of info in there that you need to read. It can be located if you follow the link in my signature to General > Sticky roll-up
well i have some knowledge but let's say i'll flash CF-Root by Chainfire this one includes root and cwm recovery (from here on i'll take care of my rom flashing) but is it compatible with my version? by doing this do I risk /efs folder corruption?

yes its compatible with your phone. nothing can go wrong if you follow the OP.
Or you can try this method also.
i personally prefer the former.
CF auto root is the most painless way to root, it changes almost nothing in the process. Then backup your efs folder before you do ANYTHING else.

Outdated method, unsafe recovery. You say you have some knowledge but I beg you to read my thread.
I put a lot if effort into it and should answer all your questions

i would suggest you goto android original development section and try the CWM touch or philz recovery.
Then try out the different roms in development sections

By the way rooting with CF-Autoroot doesn't include a custom recovery anymore that's why you needed to flash a custom recovery separately.

hello devs,
i have an international variant GT-I9300 . I upgraded it with the ATO(OPEN AUSTRIA) . After this upgrade ,i was not able to root ...i used the CF AUTO ROOT , SUPERSU , and even mobogeine root method . its getting failed....
please help me devs......i would like to root it...either to get a stable international variant ROM.
If you intend to then flash a custom rom then don't bother rooting your stock firmware, all custom roms are already rooted.
If you want to stay stock then flash a prerooted version via odin, get a link for one on xda in general forum.

so....u mean that....i can flash a custom rom...directly from the stock recovery....without rooting...by just wiping the data and cache??? ........
or else.. sorry for asking this silly question ...i am just a newbie...
No, go read the sticky thread in general forum on how to flash custom recovery then custom rom. Factory reset before you start then back efs.

i checked the whole procedure of it as u told.... but while i am flashing CFROOT but it is showing "FAILED SIGNATURE VERIFICATION" . and the same thing for superSU ......
so...in case if i flash PHILZ RECOVERY or CWM ......without rooting........ will my phone get bricked ???...
Check out Cyanogenmod Installer follow the instrustion it will root and install the latest stable CM for your phone .
You are still missing basic knowledge, you can't flash anything with stock recovery.
Flashing recovery doesn't require root, but you can brick the phone if you don't understand what you are doing.
