I successfully followed the directions for using the no-flash-counter-increment stock+root, then installed clockworkmod recovery with adb dd, then installed Sonic R6. If I wanted to go back to stock+root, could I just Odin the no-flash-counter-increment stock+root?
This procedure worked great on my old Vibrant, but on the Vibrant, the Odin back to stock cleared the user partitions, but when I did the Odin stock+root on the S3, it rebooted with all of my settings/apps/etc. intact.
To be safe, I'm intending to reboot to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, then reboot to download mode and Odin again. Is this a sound plan? (Sorry for the newbie question, but the Odin differences between the Vibrant and the S3 make me nervous.)
it came back with the settings and apps because you have to wipe before going back to stock, and if you are going back to stock, depending on what rom you are using, you will have to root again.
With the custom recovery you can flash away without increasing the counter.

Just flash one of the stock roms in yhe dev section and you'll get your stock + root just like when you originally rooted.

Can't title it any better. I was running Mj's BLEND ICS, and have been having problems with reboots, etc. So I saw a new version out and wanted to try that. I rebooted and noticed CWM was gone, and it looked like a stock recovery.
So I was reading up a bit and moved over the new version to the SD, then while under that recovery, I made a HUGE mistake and hit the power (forgetting that's [enter]) and whatever it was on it formatted data/system and cache so the phone is now dead (luckily not bricked).
On boot it sits at the Samsung title but that's it. I DO have access to both recovery (which is NOT cwm) but also have access to ODIN (huge + IMO).
So, I had the following;
BaseBand: 57 : 10.10 5.FD19
Kernel: 3.0.15-SPH=D710.FD26-XL467198
So naturally my question is what to do next? Back in my evo day's I ran CW7 and was very happy, I see C9 is out but the docs I saw said coming from GB, where I HAD ICS).
So the million dollar question, how do I proceed? Since I have access to ODIN, I would like to either;
a) restore a brand new stock rooted ICS for the g2 (note I am on sprint)
b) move back to either blend, or even more like to try c9.
Thanks as always to the group for all read/replies, out of all my posts/fun, this was my first facepalm!

Didn't think so, I would equate it to an ok linux boot partition but the other partitions were wiped (which is why once I could get into ODIN I knew I would be ok, just wanted to make sure I had the correct stock ROM)
Hey XDA! I recently perm-rooted my SGS3 T-mobile versionT999 using the QCOM Toolkit and Odin and I flashed custom CMW recovery 6.(whatever) and did backups of all my stuff like data, system, EFS partition and more. It also renamed my recovery restore files. I read a few things regarding the OTA update of JB coming out soon and heard that if it is updated it could actually turn s-off back on and mess up your root and mess up a bunch of other things that I've done.
First off I would like to ask for some clarification on this subject as to what exactly will happen if the OTA updates to JB and if it will automatically be prevented or if I have to do something to keep my phone from automatically upgrading to JB on its own. Also if it turns out that I cannot do the OTA JB update should I just flash a custom JB rom or possibly flash a stock release of the JB rom?
Secondly I wanted to ask about the flash counter. Currently I have not flashed anything but CWM (twice cause I tried to flash touch but it failed) I have not flashed any roms or kernels or radios yet. Has my flash counter already been tripped? What exactly will trip the counter? I also read something about resetting the trip meter and flashing everything back to stock including unrooting. Can someone post a link to a guide(s) that have steps for that? (Trust me I've been looking on XDA for a few hours trying to answer all these questions myself but I cant find some of them and I figured asking and having them answered all in one place would be much easier and helpful to me and others as well). In the future I may look into flashing another kernel so I can overclock and also some other roms. Another question arises though: What exactly is and insecure kernel ( I believe thats what they're called) and also what is an insecure boot img? Sorry I have so many questions but theres a lot of information to take in when a new phone receives root and gets a bunch of new possibilities!
One final question until new ones arise. What exactly are these new builds I keep reading about? Ive seen "T999UVALEM", "uvalh2", "uvalh3" , "UVLI2,3 & 4", "UVDLI3", "UVDLH3", "UVALG1", and "ULVH2" and I assume there are many more haha.
What exactly even are these??? Its just too much to keep up with. Thanks to anyone who can clear up the confusion
Well I believe that about sums up my questions so if you can help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks guys!
If you have cwm installed the OTA will fail.

the uvl stuff is different leaks (builds)
The different builds came with new basebands (modems) as Samsung tries to increase reception
Look in development for the modem thread
For example I'm running the latest cm10 nightly and using the latest modem. So my baseband is T999UVLI8

So when I used the toolkit (which used Odin) to root and flash CWM the counter was tripped? Oh well I'm sure there will be workarounds later
Yes go ahead and flash a custom Rom. The developers will have a rooted version of the ota once it drops. And you can just flash that.

I don't know what the toolkit is but there was a guide in the development section on rooting without tripping the counter. Essentially it used Odin to flash a stock rom that had root injected and from there you could install cwm. As long as u flash roms with cwm it shouldn't trip the counter to my knowledge but if u use Odin to flash roms it will trip the counter

yes it needs to be in download mode and you need a tar file. It sounds like a bad SD card. Keep the file on your pc. Plenty of rooted and stock tar files around...

Yes only in download mode and you can battery pull if need be just not while flashing and keep it plugged in
So heres the back story:
The phone had CWM Recovery and had CM 10.1 nightly but I was unhappy with it.
I tried to flash from odin using the root66 pre rooted UVDJA rom
Didn't boot. It got to the Samsung bootanimation and just keeps glowing.
Tried root66 UVALJ4 same thing no dice
What can I do?
I assume I'm missing something and I still have Odin so I know I'm pretty sure I'm not totally boned.
In Odin I am clicking PDA and loading the .tar.md5 from the root66 .7z and clicking start.
Thanks
Fun story. I went into recovery and wiped and it works... Meh.
Thanks guys
BEST BET YOUTUBE OR GOOGLE QBKING77 ROOT S3 HE HAS EVERY CORRECT METHOD
I posted a response how to fix this
In another thread
Just download the stock jellybean tar file for t999 S3 QBKING77 VID SHOULD LEAD U TO FILES U NEED
Make sure to Uncheck all 3 boxes In Odin and rename the file delete the. Md5 it should be just
. Tar
Once odin says pass pull battery and reboot
Don't mess with flashing a custom odin rom just find a stock 4.1.1 with or without root
The best root method is using root from recovery zip when rooting I don't use the tool kit crap.
And ditch cwm that why it's jacked
Use twrp recovery download goo manager from market
Initially u have to flash cwm to root after u flash cwm. tar Then you download Goo manager and hit menu and install open recovery script then u have twrp recovery
Start fresh is your best bet

If u have cwm still u may be good just be sure to wipe data, dalvic and cache first.

Do you have recovery loaded? If you just download the ROM you want on to your SDcard. Then reboot to recovery and install from SDcard. Find your ROM and install.
I recommend SlimBean. It is a great Rom.
Why do you want to go to stock when there are many better choices.

I have the same issue and your suggestion didn't help.
Tried several times, both deodexed version and the original, but neither worked. Tried flashing the SuperWipeG2+ext4 before installing stock, after installing stock (flashing stock, SuperWipe, stock again) on both normal and deodexed versions. Still the phone loads up the HTC logo+vibrate, takes a few seconds, makes a small vibration again and nothing happens.
All other custom ROM's that I've tried work. I've tried CyanKat, CM11, CM7.2, Vision G-lite 2.0.0.
I'm trying to go back to stock, because all custom ROM's have a huge battery drainage issue that I am unable to resolve (but lets keep that to another thread). The stock ROM did not have the issue.
Stock ROM is no formatted to ext4, but besides this are you trying to go back to stock but keep custom recovery and secure flags off or completely return to stock as the method to do so will differ
Either way you should find what you need here
