Hi XDA,
I want to ask: would I hard brick my galaxy S3 gt-i9305 if I were to use version 3.05 of the Triangle Away app?
Recently, I used the app to reset my flash counter (from 4 to 1). I tried reducing the flash counter to 0 but to NO AVAIL.
My phone still stays at (Binary: Custom) and (Flash counter: 1). I want to flash my phone back to stock rom (mine is a rooted stock rom).
I want to flash my phone back to stock. Can I just skip reseting the flash counter and just flash my stock firmware with mobile Odin?
Thanks for any advice.
From,
entertainer99

In order to reset to 0 you need to have stock recovery and stock kernel.
IIRC flashing stock with Odin won't affect the flash counter.

Also check the Triangle Away description on Play Store.
"On some devices this will actually trigger the counter to 1 if it is 0 - so if you are just... "

Yes I am on stock recovery and stock kernel. I only rooted it. Did not change any other stuff (don't wanna hard brick my phone again).

To add on, I'm going yo use MOBILE ODIN to flash my phone back to stock. Does flashing reset the counter to 0?

Flashing of what? Triangle Away will reset the counter, but have have to execute the app.
Further, if you have flashed one of the stock pre-rooted packages, and left stock recover and kernel, your counter should be left on 0.
If you only want to unroot, you can do it with SuperSU app, I belive, there is no need to flash anything (provided you are on stock ROM, as already mentioned.).
Ok, i forgot, you have mentioned you had rooted your stock ROM, and that increased the counter.
So remember, flashing stock package (pre rooted or not.) doesn't increase the counter. So fund and follow instructions to unroot (or use SuperSU app.) , before that reset the counter and afterwards flash the stock ROM with Odin (not mobile Odin, since there is no root any more.).

You should be able to reset flash counter to 0 with no problems providing you do it correctly.

It means he shouldn't have to worry about hard bricking the phone and should be able to reset back to 0 as long as its done correctly

Flash counts void your warranty. Use triangle away to remove them.

Once u reset the flash counter using TriangleAway, your phone will show the binary count as 0 & firmware as samsung official (this is something which samsung may check to see if you have flashed cutom rom/firmware. By resetting this, samsung will not come to know that you had rooted your phone :thumbup then u can flash ur region's stock rom using PC Odin..it wl unroot & remove cwm..

Just download the your original firmware from sammfirmware and use Odin to flash it and this will overwrite your recovery mode and your Root access
Then how about the yes optus?

I am having similar issues same model and same carrier, but the thing is i used samsung-updates singtel firmware to unroot my phone but now it doesnt detect my network and the baseband is unknown. Should I flash it again with the firmware from samfirmware? Will it work? Or is there any other way? Cuz as for now, my device status says its modified and i'm not sure if my warranty will be void if i bring it over to samsung.

Make sure before you install stock firmware that you install "triangle away" and reset you custom firmware counter otherwise they will see you've modded you s3 and the warranty will be void
I have done the triangle away reset. My binary counter in odin mode is 0 but my device status still shows modified.

Fixed exclamation mark by using triangle away and flashing a stock firmware (even though i was aready on a stock firmware). Issue now is its still saying "modified" in Settings->about device->status.. Any help is appreciated.
If I can remember correctly, all you would now need to do is do a factory reset and that should complete your unroot

Did you reboot after it? As the device checks for a custom firmware during boot so reset binary then restore without a reboot inbetween.
It also installs stock kernel if we did not mention that

If you want to go back to stock ROM then you will need to download the stock firmware from sammobile and flash with odin.
If you want it completely wiped then it's a good idea to format internal SD card aswell

Hi...noob question...wouldn't formatting internal SD card remove CWM and everything else (JB) as well?
If you want to be 100% sure do the restore in odin first and when running stock rom just go to settings and wipe sd card.. no worrys.

Thanks for your reply...I don't know very much about these android devices so can I ask some more noob questions?
1. Does JB exists on a separate partition so when you do a format, even from your pc, the formatting doesn't affect JB?
2. Would wiping / formatting the sd card get rid of every single file / directory not required by JB (including games directories n files etc)? Because this is what I want...brand spanking clean.

using mobile odin by chain fire more safety for flashing
use cwm same safety way too
use odin in pc more dangerous IF you dont have many good usb connections or samsung driver inside your pc
dont forget backup your efs ,this very important from begining you have s3
There is a function called "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in your Samsung KIES if you are using the newest version. It will help you to download the newest firmware from the KIES server. You don't have to boot your device until you are told to start the download mode by the Samsung KIES.
Need help! I used cf auto root for rooting on 4.1.1 JB was successful. Later I used mobile odin to upgrade to I9305XXBMB2 which was a Singapore ROM. Flashing was completed but with back screen. So I used pc odin flashed I9305XXBMB2 with success. but my torch screen was no responding upon reboot. Even I tried factory reset still with the same reslult. I can't send it to the Samsung Service center due to flash counter = 1. Downgraded to ma6 also with same results.
I can goto download and recovery mode. Please advice!

Try Emergency Firmware restore on Kies. If that is not successful then I guess you could flash CWM (non touch edition) and then try find a way to reset your flash counter in recovery or download mode then warranty it. If not then you will have to pay up, $210 here in Aus to get screen/digitalizer/frame repaired (built together) at a Samsung place & that also renews your warrenty

since your phone is running stock ROM&kernel you can try USB jig, that's the Only thing left to try to get back your warranty. In my case jig won't reset counter but I'm using Custom ROM .... Can't remember how was it on stock. TA works for sure but must be installed first, you can't use your screen so jig is your last chance. ..

Try this rom, you need to do it from a PC, set in download mode then use Odin to flash the rom.
This will then put it back to stock with no increase in the binary count.

Guys do you really think Samsung cares? I mean I had an Asus Transformer Prime with an unlocked boot loader. When unlocking it clearly stated the warranty is voided. A few months later my battery died and I sent it in as it was and they fixed it. I even told them it was unlocked and they fixed it.
I then heard and read somewhere that the warranty is lost to software related issues not hardware.
But oh well he reset it already. I only reset to get stock stock updates because I get bored sometimes!!

Download L720VPUEMJA Firmware. Use any Odin flashing tutorial to flash the firmware. Just search with build number and you will surely find something.

I need to return my phone to Sprint. Will this work even if my knox warranty void is 0x1?
Awesome. that for the MJA.
I flashed this with odin with no problems at all. Back to stock 4.3 MJA. Factory reset for good measure. Works great, thanks.
I don't see anything about knox void or anything when rebooting/booting into stock recovery. I'm about to reroot with CF auto root and run stock rooted. Thanks.
I can't download this on the free account at the OP's link. Says it is too big. Is there another download site for this anywhere else yet?
Thanks
EDIT: I was finally able to get the file from Sammobile.

Thanks. That's where the links in the OP take you. I did try that, but it gave me the "file too big" to download on a free account message.

Before that were you already on stock rooted MJA? Seeing if when you bootninto download mode it should say Knox 0x0 or 0x1.

The "knox warranty void 0x1 shows only when booting into download mode. It won't show into the recovery.
Please put your phone in download mode and report back if the knox void 0x1 is gone.
Thanks.

I just flashed the TAR in Odin. The 0x1 does not reset.
For some reason my data did not reset either...
but I am back on stock recovery and the custom flags in download mode also are reset

So no more 0x1 flag when you got back to stock? How did you manage to do that?

You mis-read my quote.
If you rooted your device after updating to MJA, the 0x1 flag DOES NOT reset if you flash the .tar in Odin.
My bootloader stats in download mode are the following after flashing the .tar:
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L720
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
STSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
Has anyone tried flashing this and then flashing an older .tar?
do i download the stock firmware file or the kernel file? i have already downloaded both but flashed kernel and nothing fixed and i cant find the .tar file in the stock firmware file
