Root Loses warranty
So is it possible "to lose warranty without losing it?" got it ?
yeah you can always unroot it to regain warranty.
N your ROM is non rootable, directly, you have to downgrade first.
Do what Zamboney said you in previous post.

Dont be afraid, you will not use warranty if you respect the treads of cds dev, they are very good, and the gnote is strong !

Sorry, I want to say xda dev's, not cds.

If i use cf-root 5.3 method which is mentioned in the instructions of rom,will it raise the counters? I'm a newbie in all these things,sorry if my questions are too silly
thanks.

[Q] Help: How to fix Baseband on i9070 ?

I have flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110245 with ODIN in PDA mode, and now the phone have no signal, and Baseband is displayed as Unknown.
How can I recover the baseband ?
I have tried to make a complete wipe, but it did not help.

Proceed with this thread, and dig all the links up and even dig the sub links. Maybe it will help.
Btw one guy is presistant that you need a new mobo, but I doubt.

Thanks I will take a look.
Sure it can be done by software, because there is a samsung service tool, which cost a lot of money, and that can fix this only from software.

May I ask if you had any luck? I like the "solved" threads, they help me the most when I end up in a dark corner

It didn't work, so I sent the phone to a specialised service, they told me that there is a 50% change they can fix it and if not then I can throw the phone, and if they can fix it then it will cost $40-45

I got the phone back from service, and they told me that they cannot fix it and no one will be able to make it work

Have you tried it downgrading to GB? I suppose that's where your phone was working, right? Do you still have the warranty, if yes, flash everything back to stock and than try to send it to Samsung, but it can be that you phone regains the IMEI and other info back, have read this from similar threads from multiple devices with the same problem.

downgrading to GB did not help, I don't think the warranty will cover this...the custom flash counter is 16

I have flashed a modemfs from that thread as they described, but no luck.

maybe the phone was locked on some network and that's the cause for all the trouble. Try with triangle away to reset the counter, install GB as it was in the beginning, go to service and keep your fingers crossed. You have nothing to lose.

My phone was neverlocked, and it's multi-region, the original firmware had the same code as the Hong Kong phones, and I am located in Europe.
When I flashed this Russian JB rom, I got a warning message on the phone: WARNING: Custom Modem ! ...very strange !

That custom modem is responsable for the whole issue. Unfortunately my knowledge is limited and I'm unable to help you.
Still, my advice is the same: flash GB, reset that counter and go to samsung service. Probably they will discover that you flashed another FW, but at least you'll know if and how it can be repaired.

[Q] From Froyo to Overcome_4.1.0 - How to be safe?

Hi,
A simple question (I hope):
From Froyo P1000BVJM8 (Orange France) with a protected bootloader and without root, what first step would you recommend in order to install Overcome_4.1.0 as safely as possible:
1) Flash directly GB_Stock_Safe_V5?
2) Root the phone and patch the bootloader (then flash GB_Stock_Safe_V5)?
Cheers,
Pierre.

only step 2.
step 1 apparently will brick your tab.

Thanks for your answer,
Is it safe to patch the boorloader with Chainfire patch? I have read that patching bootloaders was a bit ai risk.

Just another thought: A protected Froyo bootloader should not prevent from upgrading to an official Samsung GB ROM, right? What if I flash an official GB Samsung ROM via Odin first ? (Well GB_Stock_Safe_V5 is already an official Samsumg ROM, maybe?)
Thanks,
Pierre

That was my thought and you might have seen me posting that opinion before.
I was told it is not correct.
Do you dare to try?

Probably not
By the way, Chainfire seems to consider that patching the bootloader is quite risky ? Is it true, or just a general warning about playing with bootloaders?
Many thanks for your quick and usefull answers.
Pierre.

General warning, I assume.
If you would brick a tab, it will be through a failed flash of bootloader.

Good News !!
I was given the Tab today. After a Factory Reset and rooting, Chainfire patch told me bootloader is not protected !
Overcome flashing is for tomorrow !!
Thanks Priyana !

I don't think it will trigger knox, check this post i have found. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48590191

You cant go back. Knox is not a counter its a flag. Now if you flash anything custom your warranty is void i.e recovery, kernel etc.
Official 4.3 is now the only thing you CAN flash without voiding warranty. Root etc will now void it. You should have waited for reports before flashing

I had flashed official 4.3 to my i9305 and nw i'm stucked on New bootloader with Knox
Can i flash this rom to my phone is updated already and now is on 4.3 with knox bootloader. Is there any solution to downgrade the bootloader. Please help.

That wont work once you trigger Knox as per all the posts you are stuck .
The future may bring a fix or not
5. If you try to downgrade to earlier firmware / bootloader it will set the knox flag to 0x1 i.e. void.
6. once the knox flag gets set to 0x1 there is no way to set it back (that anyone has found yet anyway!).

your are stuck with official 4.3 you cannot downgrade the bootloader now, flashing any rom (other than official 4.3), custom recovery.... will trigger knox count thus voiding your warranty

So if i flash another official 4.3 will not trigger knox flag? I already knew that if we try to downgrade os version will trigger, but flashing another official 4.3 will also trigger it?

All posts i have found on xda shows that knox counter will not change... See the links from the my first comment.

Sorry...keep seeing people say this...its NOT a counter. It only has two values 0 and 1.
But yes...flashing official is fine. But root it or flash recovery etc will make flag 1

Still there must be something in the official rom , that we can use to make knox think that when we flash another official rom when we flash a custom rom, just need to find it. (Everything can be broken !!).

Correct. Knox flag will only change to 1 when you are going to flash unofficial thinks like custom roms, kernels, recovery, ect.

I understand that but if you flash a new official rom from one to another, how does it know that the new flash rom it is not a custom rom and don't change the counter.
I think that is were we must look for a solution. If Samsung can make new roms that don't change the counter the we ca do it to or !!!

Can I install any other 43 version on it ? i.e XUEMKC or any.

Yes you can, but read the various topics about it very carefully, regarding the knox bootloader and possibly voiding your warranty

If you want to flash 4.3, dont forget to use odin 3.09 and replace original modem with your region's one

I managed to install 4.3 and root my S3 LTE.
Now I only need to remove all that bloatware from it.
Some ideas?
