There are a plenty of articles on how to root the Alpha, but no articles on how to reset the flash counter (not KNOX, but flash counter).
There are no Galaxy Alpha in TriangleAway app supported phone list. Did anyone try to reset it by TriangleAway app successfully? Or maybe some other methods do exist for this phone ? :cyclops:

Well guys as the title says itself, is there any safe, easy method of rooting S3 on 4.1.1 without triggering the flash counter and with stock recovery like CF Auto Root? But Auto root may trigger flash counter. So can anyone please tell anything about this matter? It's just i bought my S3 yesterday, not so snappy as expected, want to remove useless stock apps n etc but also want to be on the safe side.
Regards
rooting is completely safe. You can reset the counter later, because rooting in itself voids the warranty. But it's perfectly reversible, so you can revert to a fully stock phone with a zero counter.
If you are on the latest ELLA bootloader, the counter will be at 1 if you are rooted or modified in any way.
On older bootloaders use triangle away after rooting to reset the counter

Anyone can tell me what do i do wrong?

Are you sure you're rooted? How did you root it?
Try searching/asking about this issue in the thread meant for Triangle Away app:

My problem was my kernel - it wasnt stock.
I must have stock kernel in order to make Trianlge Away works
Hi guys, just want to let you know that i have found a cure to enable screen mirroring and allshare on rooted galaxy s3 (gt-i9300/05). You will need to download 'triangle away' and use that to reset your flash counter to zero, once you have done this then you shouldnt have a problem using the function with your rooted device (im running offcial 4.3, not sure about other roms?)
Hope this helps someone out?
Hey guys,
Could someone please help me with my problem. I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I had my fully working, factory unlocked from Three carrier GT-I9300 with 4.1.2 version, however yesterday I decided to updated my phones firmware via Odin 3.07 to 4.3 I9300XXUGML3. Everything went smoothly but after a while i noticed that it does not have any reception.
In phones status it shows:
Network: Unknown
Service state: Out of Service
My Phone Number: Unknown
IMEI: 00499901640000
Device status: Official
I figured it out that culprit might be IMEI code, so I reinstalled 4.3 version a few times but without success. After that I rooted my phone with Kingo Android root in order to fix my reception problem but It did not work out. In the end I thought to just send it to Samsung's warranty.However before sending phone I wanted to run TriangleAway in order to reset my binary count, but It does not resets. I thought that Knox might be stopping it from resetting as it's 4.3, however phone does not have Knox installed in it, even when in Download mode there is nothing written about Knox.
So I'm now in a pickle as I have:
-Corrupted IMEI
-No Reception
-TriangleAway does not resets binary
-Knox nowhere to be found (But I guess it's a good thing)
It would be really good to at least to reset binary count in order to send it to warranty to just forget about this mess :laugh:
Any ideas what is going on? I could not find any solution or problem which is similar to mine.
Triangle away won't work on later bootloader, downgrade to ICS bootloader.

Isn't there a high chance of bricking phone while downgrading from 4.3 to ICS?
I tried now to flash my phone with stock I9300XXUGMK6 firmware in order to root it with CF-Auto-Root and then use Triangle Away to reset my binary counter. However It did not reset it.
Before that tried CWM, flashed kernel, flashed modem, used mobile odin. Sadly everything was in vain. I'm at loss now, don't know what do to. Maybe i'm doing something wrong? Maybe there is some kind of problem with the phone?

Fixed
So I fixed it!
I had Mk6 firmware installed with cf-auto root.
After that I installed Boeffla's kernel (beta5 version) with mobile Odin and used TriangleAway 3.26 in order to reset my binary counter. Immediately after using mobile Odin again I installed official mk6 firmware and voila! Everything official and binary count set to 0, however I still had problem with IMEI and network so I sent phone to samsung as I have warranty.
Thanks everyone for helping out
I need to root and install CWM without increasing binary counter on my Galaxy S3 (Baseband Version - I9300DDUGNB1). Can any body help me in this bcoz i dont want to increase binary counter coz my mobile is still in warranty. Thnx in Advance
No, your binary counter will increase and nothing you can do will stop it. Afterward you could reset with triangle away, but each time you boot with custom recovery or kernel the counter will again increase.
Downgrade your bootloader to ICS version to prevent this, but it will still show 'modified' no matter what you do.
If you are that worried about warranty then leave it alone.
