Get the galaxy toolkit from the original galaxy note section. Multi-options available. Chainfire has a flash counter reset on the market also if that is the direction your heading

Triangle Away should be able to clear your counter.
Dev threads have instructions on unrooting and going back to stock.

I was taking my phone in for exchange, and wanted to restore it. So I fire up ODIN, and install a factory image on it. But I forgot to run Triangle Away, and reset the Flash Counter. So now I am trying to re-root the device, by flashing a root injected stock rom from Mr.Robinsons thread. I had tried several other methods, but they didnt work either. Then I wanted to flash triangle away, then re restore back to stock.But the root injected rom, is not working either. Is there a easier method to do this.Or should I just trash this POS Samsung GS 3, and get an IPhone that works.

If you're going to run triangle away and just odin back a stock ROM, it shouldn't matter how you root it. Use odin to flash a custom recovery, use recovery to root, just like before they had a root-injected stock rom. Takes all of 5 minutes. Then ODIN back to stock like you wanted.
You checked "Yes this is a question"
That means it goes in Q&A

Modified Status
Ok, so I was finally able to get the device rooted. I flashed triangle away, to reset the flash counter. But now the device says modified. Is there any fix for that?

If you Odin back to stock, it shouldn't say that anymore..I could be wrong though
Hi Guys,
had a custom Rom with Root.
Then i Flashed Stock Rom without Root and now i have counter status of 1.
My Question:
Can i Root, use triangle aeay and then unroot?
I want the clear stock rom without root but with no counter increase.
Thank yout very much.
Yeah sure why not. Just use Triangle Away, need to be rooted of course. Then flash a stock ROM via Odin. Clear data and cache. Job done.

Hey guys, I know there are a few stock images floating around that can bring you back to stock, but I wanted to put down the steps I used to get back to stock with 0 flash counter.
Just in case you need to return it for warranty work and you've flashed or rooted. This is kind of a beginner's guide to going back to stock untouched.
--Doing this is your own responsibility and I offer nothing but what is in this post.
1. Use Odin to flash the stock rom. Found here -teshxx
2. Now use Chainfire's root without different recovery. Found here -Chainfire
3. Now install triangle away via the play store or apk found at Chainfire's thread and use it. Here -Chainfire
4. Finally Odin again with the stock rom found at step 1.
The idea is that booting with a non stock recovery will trip the flash counter. Also, running a rooted rom will register "Modified" with tmobile touchwiz.
This way you can reset the flash counter and it won't be tripped by a non-stock recovery. Then remove the "Modified" device flag by going back to stock.
I know the faster way to do this would be to catch the reboot after triangle away, but if you can do that, I assume you already are pretty proficient at going back for warranty work.
Also, if and when a stock root injected odin rom becomes available, this tutorial will be pointless.
In my days with the s3, even after using odin to go back to fully stock like in step 4, sometimes it woukd still show modified until I ran a factory reset.
I am super sorry if this has been covered, but I have indeed searched, several sites, and I haven't found anything on my specific problem. I had my Galaxy S3 rooted for a time then decided to unroot it. The unroot worked and the phone status now says "normal," but I still cannot receive any OTA updates and my flash counter does not say "0." I suppose my first question is would resetting the flash counter solve the problem with getting the updates? And if so, How can I go about doing that with an already unrooted phone? I searched through the thread here:

Use triangle away to reset the flash counter, however you will need to reroot to run triangle away and then unroot again once your finished.
Could always PM the OP of the thread. Sure he wouldnt mind :laugh: That being said, flash the jb version of that rom. Youll be up to date w/ no root and a counter at 0.
Thanks. I'll reroot then follow that thread's guide and use the rom files linked. I know enough about rooting to root, but if I ever run into an issue, I have no idea what I'm doing. We all appreciate your guys' help!
Stupid question, but I want to be sure. I can easily root, then use the triangle away app. But, when I go to unroot, am I just using the JB.zip file from the above mentioned thread and that itself will unroot? Or do I unroot completely first then flash that zip?
Sorry, maybe is offtopic but I need this information badly...
I rooted my GS3 and installed some Incredible HD rom...now, I wanted to get back to stock rom! So, I restored to my Stock rom which I previously backed up in clockwork recovery...Now I have a stock rom but UNABLE to update my phone via KIES or OTA????? It sais > your device curred fw isnt supported ....
What should I do? Should I reset my flash counter or unroot it first before update or what???
THANKSSSS
Hello,
Right now I am having MIUI 3.7.5 with BaseBand i747UCDLK3 with KT747 Kernel. I am moving back to stock to sell my phone to the buyer. It has TWRP Installed and binary counters triggered. So, what I need to do reset the binary counters and reflash the stock?
I have downloaded the Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-I747_ATT_1_20121116120521_7p9l4qgqoh from this link
How to flash to stock with ODIN and reset the counter???
Any warnings and cautions?
Just an observation, why not let the buyer decide if they would like the phone already rooted with the custom rom or if they would want it stock, reverting is easy and you'll need triangle away from the play store to reset the counter, which you can do even on the custom rom, and the easiest way to refresh to stock is with mskip's galaxy s3 toolkit it walks you through the steps and has Odin built into it so it launches it for you with clear instructions how to proceed
