Dude, your better off playing safe by Odining back to an earlier build before el29 I believe and using a usb jig, also recommend using chris41g method to rid triangle.. Here's link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999&highlight=triangle
I recommend this way atleast until devs check it out and our device is supported

doesnt look like it would work for us yet.. but it's possible in the future.
this is a very interesting find.. and something like this light be used to finally find our hidden modem partitions.

We have alpha CM9 which is using a patched up GB kernel. This requires a ICS kernel and is very risky right now.

Cool cool.....maybe when the official ICS gets released or leaked

the way I have reset my counter was flashing the eg31 bootloader. that way using a usb jig works again.

I hope that some easier alternative (not that obtaining a jig is difficult) will present itself in the form of a recovery image that includes a kernel with a executable script to "remove" or at least hide that horrid triangle that appears during the initial booting process.

"horrid triangle"? It looks fine ,in fact "pretty". I honestly cant imagine why people are obsessed with getting rid of the triangle. Its harmless!
On a slightly different subject, I dont know why people always get rid if bootup sounds. Whats wrong with those either?
Sorry fellas, but I like my triangles and sounds. Su me!!!

Do not flash the new ICS Leak!

Do NOT flash new ICS Leak, you will brick. We have had one hard-brick/hardware issue (don't know which one). I repeat do not flash. I myself encountered 8 soft bricks.

Anyone with a confirmed working flash out there?

I don't see why not. We have basically the same hardware. But you should probably wait for confirmation from someone else preferably over in the sr section.

yup do not flash a few bricks already, even wiped formatted all partitions and removed sd and sim. this will not flash to our phone without fuqing up

as a rogers person myself id also love to know if the cwm zip would work as almost all other att roms function on the i727r

Wait not all sr roms work with your phone? Why not? Every rom should. But if there is a difference between your phones, i suggest holding out. I am not sure if your phone shares the same compatibility like how ours and telus are the same. But anyways, you guys should definitely wait before jumping the gun.

Unless it was updated in the past 3 days, it won't work.
It resets the counter, but once you reboot it goes back to what it was before you use triangle away.
If you got it to work for you, then there are a bunch of people who would like to know how.

Ya I noticed that, think they changed something in the update? It stayed reset back when I first rooted. Maybe they changed the bootloader?

I have the older version (1.70) and that worked fine on an ICS ROM, it's the first version that had the Sprint SGS3 as a supported device. Idk if anyone wants it but PM me. Chainfire releases Triangle Away for free on XDA but it's still a paid app so I'm not too sure on the etiquette regarding posting the apk
Oh and your flash counter does not increase by flashing ROMs/Mods/Themes in a custom recovery, it only increases by flashing non official software through Odin. So if you flashed a custom recovery via odin, the counter would increase by 1. But if you flashed a ROM by using the custom recovery, your flash counter will not increase

That sounds awesome. So I tried Balzer Rom for the last couple of days and I noticed that the battery life suffered drastically. I switched back to Sprint Touchwiz Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Leak. That works great for me so far.

How do you check the counter?

You obviously flashed the wrong rom.. JTAG or samsung repair can fix this. I recommend Sending it to samsung cuz its free

I sent off Samsung today 2 day air its free assuming they don't find its rooted. I was excited getting sg3 & didn't realize so many different versions. So long as I flash correct sgh-i747 roms i should be fine right?

Exactly! And the tmobile version is almost exactly the same in terms of hardware so you can flash sgh-i747 for sure, and sgh-t999 you just gotta remember to change the apn if your flashing a tmobile rom. Other then that. You cannot flash international roms or sprint roms or any other variant to this baby. But im sure xda will find a workaround to this. Till then Goodluck and take care of that phone

I would imagine that if they do find out, they'll still fix it for free. I doubt the people actually fixing the devices care too much as it doesn't really make a difference to them whether or not it's rooted. Best of luck!

Wouldn't it be ok if you put in a spare, charged battery, and booted into recovery or bootloader and flashed the right rom?

No, even with a spare battery it is highly doubtful that the device will come back to life. He tried to flash an incorrect ROM to his phone and the phone has shut itself down to prevent physical damage to the circuits. i/e Burn outs. This is one of the MAIN reasons to be sure of what you are doing BEFORE you do it.
Patience is an overwhelming virtue when your thinking to flash a non stock ROM. Read it, understand it, ensure it, then do it but ONLY if you are 100% sure of what you are doing.

Can anyone recommend a stable rom i747 att

can any1 recommend what to do with a 6 day old 747 that got water damage everything works but the speaker??

Take the battery out.... And sim card/sd cards.... And put it in rice for 24 hours.... If you have not already fried the speaker/circuitry then this might help.... Rice absorbed it weight in water 10 times over... Or something like that.... Give that a try and see what happens

I tried to update with the ota on my rooted stock. It became too much of a fight, so I went with cleanrom 3.5. Has everything, no need to wipe, no loss of apps or data, keeps me on stock kernel and tw. I recommend that route over banging your head against the wall.
