Yes, I got the same Q, anyone can help?

First, reset three counter using. Triangle away( not really needed as Tmobile doesn't check, just making sure)
Next Flash stock rom(original ROM) using ODIN. look in the development section.
Then factory reset after, this can be done from the settings under storage or privacy. I really don't remember.
But that should do it

check the stickies in the dev section. They have the stock Rom in there
Triangle away resets the flash counter now

Cwm and not rooting question

so im not really from around these parts but my girlfriend has this phone, and doesn't want root but would like to have a nandroid backup, is there any problems with odin'ing cwm and not flashing su, and just leaving the phone unrooted? or is that a horrible idea?
the phone is tmobile stock w/ the most recent ics update btw
also, sorry if this has been asked, i'm sorry.. but I looked around and didn't see this question posted anywhere, but
thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

My only question would be...why bother?
Edit: if it's for back up reasons, just backup to Google and she's all good.

Mostly for experimental purposes.. I've never had a phone that is so easy to flash a custom recovery without rooting.. but also because we want to backup more than just contacts and calendars..
I was just wondering if it's a bad idea to flash the recovery and not root the device

Question about sending it back to t-mobile

I have cm10 on my phone and I have not activated the flash counter, I need to send my phone back to T-Mobile because my earphone plug is not working (I've tried countless earphones) how would I get back to stock without activating the flash counter?

Do what previous post said. Odin back to stock will not trigger the flash counter. If you are paranoid, there is a sticky that shows you how to reset your flash counter.

Rooted but stock. [Solved]

Any help on how I can install xposed framework so I can have any app on multi-window?

Re: Rooted but stock.
I cant remember where I found the framework thread but once I saw jedi roms with aroma, I went that route instead of dealing with xposed... glad to see you finally rooted though

Re: Rooted but stock.
Well i got it working already +root . Thanks a lot guys and also a big thanks to Nmw407. That has been helping me out a lot . Just need to find away on how to unroot to factory for my warranty lol.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

YAY! You made it!

Various ways to unroot but for warranty id do triangle away first, then odin a stock rom, make sure you pull the sd card, factory reset... that should work to get counter to 0 and normal status
