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.

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.
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
Cheers

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.
Hi all,
I'm about to reset my S3 (GT-i9300) back to complete stock, unrooted. I'm currently rooted and running Illusion 2.1 beta (Android 4.2.2 I believe).
I'm looking for someone with a little more knowledge than myself to run over the following steps and let me know if there's something I'm missing, or about to do wrong! Any help/advice/guidance is very much appreciated.
I've tried to do the research myself - I'm simply lacking the confidence to just go ahead with some flaky knowledge.
Download Odin 3.07
Download latest 4.1.2 BTU firmware from sammobile
Flash said firmware using Odin (only use Auto-reboot and reset F-time)
Root the phone (what's best to use for this nowadays??)
Download and run Triangle Away
Flash firmware once more via Odin
Is the above correct? Is there a way to format internal memory to get rid of the nonsense that has built up from custom ROMs/apps/etc.?
Also, I'm slightly unsure about the best tools to use for point 4 at the moment, but I'm sure I'll find them here
Thanks in advance for any help.

see my comments above. In addition here is a guide.
Furthermore make sure you have stock recovery & kernel, as otherwise it will maybe increase the counter (both should come with stock firmware though).
I need help from you guys. I have a tmobile galaxy s4, I was rooted with cm11 4.4.2 and I tried to unroot to stock with odin and a firmware, but I fail and got a soft brick the first time. I download different odins and firmwares and finally got it to work, PASS I have stock 4.2.2 m919uvuemk2. but when it restarted I tried to delete wipe cache partition and reboot like it ask me to but it didn't work. Every time I reboot phone it gives me a message before it turns onit says kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel. My phone works fine except the wifi, it doesn't turn on. the devise status still say CUSTOM and I can not software update it says your devise your devise has been modify. I checked for root access and there is none. what can I do to fix this problems, should I reroot and use triangle away to delete the BINARY AND KNOX messages and after try to use a 4.3 firmware instead of 4.2.2. I want to have a complete stock phone that I can do OTA updates. Can some one please give the steps and point me in the right direction so I can take care of this problems. Thank You...
Flashed stock Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM using ODIN, Device binary & status are CUSTOM? Help!
Hey guys! First time poster!
A few months back, I tried using CF-Auto root in order to gain root access on my phone, but I flashed something incorrectly and I was never able to get root working correctly. I know because of this, I tripped KNOX, and whenever I rebooted, there was a "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" at the top of the device.
Due to the recent Marshmallow 6.0.1 upgrade, I want to unroot and get stock firmware, so I decided to do some research and go ahead and try to flash the stock G900T 5.1.1 FOJ4 firmware (tar.md5 file), so I can get my ability to update my phone via OTA updates. I looked up my matching firmware (FOJ4) through Android File Host and then unzipped it to my desktop.
I followed a guide and used ODIN 3.10.7 to flash the stock firmware file onto my phone. I also wiped cache/ factory reset before and after flashing the stock image.
Everything went well and I no longer see the "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" when I boot. The problem I have is that when I go into download mode, the CURRENT BINARY and SYSTEM STATUS are both CUSTOM.
I was under the impression as long as you flash a stock firmware to your device, you will unroot and your device will be official, and then you'll be able to do OTA updates. Maybe its because I have KNOX tripped? Maybe can someone clarify that for me?
My main questions/concerns are:
1.) Is there anyway to make my device status/binary as OFFICIAL, in order to regain OTA updates?
2.) If I want to download the 6.0.1 Marshmallow update, should I just try through KIES or downloading the tar.md5 file to flashing via ODIN like I did with stock?
3.) Will there be any risk of bricking since my device is still "custom", if I go the above route?
4.) As a last ditch effort, should I just try downloading a different stock Lollipop firmware, and try flashing with ODIN again?
5.) What does this sub think of Marshmallow 6.0.1 update? Is it worth it?
Thank you guys in advance! Hope you have an awesome day!

#2 with Odin will work and is the correct way to go, #3 will not happen as long as you use Odin, you can't untrip Knox but that's OK since it doesn't have any effect on functionality. #4 is unnecessary and won't do anything to help. Someone else will have to answer #5, I Odined the update and immediately went back to CM13
