I believe it will. Not a big deal though as we have Triangle Away!

I know but I was trying to do a counter flash reset and flash the stock rom with odin.

Billard412 has an LJC ZIP that does this. Think he's working on one for MA7

Billard's Stock Restore + flash counter reset has been updated to MA7, and works just dandy.

Stay tuned as I have odin one clicks that will do that too. Should be ready today

[Q] How to get my T-mobile Galaxy S 3 back to stock to send it to Samsung??

I have my device rooted and have a custom modem and rom and recovery..... Is there a way I can just flash it so that Samsung does not know I made those changes to the phone....? I already have triangle software to get it back to official status but what about anything else...? Will they make me pay if they find out it was rooted and modified or will they just ship it back? THANKS in advance guys!! The buttons on the device stick and I have a bad camera so it def needs to be fixed...
I just did that last night to my phone. And it's fully stock right now as if I bought it from a t mobile store.
Download the official lh2 update from samsung-updates. Com
Before you Odin it. Use triangle away to reset count to 0. Reset and wipe. Then do a full Odin if the official lh2 update.
It will flash the modem and official software

Thanks everyone! I guess I missed that in my search through the forums... I should be all good now! :victory: I hope that Samsung actually fixes all of my problems... This is my first time dealing with them for service but so far they are paying for all of the shipping and it's being shipped UPS 2nd day air so that's a plus for them!
Well I have done everything stated in this thread and I cannot get my phone to boot past the flashing Samsung screen with the blue led on....? I even did the process twice just to make sure and it won't boot to the os... I am lost here!
UPDATE:I forced the phone into recovery and cleared cach and reformatted phone and I'm all good now... Thanks guys!!

I read triangle away doesn't work for the t999, does it? please tell me it does haha. I downloaded the original software from samsung updates and I'm about to try this but after I Odin the factory software does it automatically flash the original recovery on it as well or do I need to flash the stock recovery as well? also should this be done before or after the triangle away as this may trip the counter again!? thanks for your help!!
It works. Just flash stock image thru Odin and it will give you stock recovery, rom, modem. No need for triangle away after that.

If you don't mind to wipe EVERYTHING, you can use Kies to install the stock ROM.
Turn the phone off, and enter Odin mode (downloading...) by pressing and holding both volume down and home while powering the phone on, then plug the phone in and run Kies and do reset and update.

[Q] Phone Rooted and Running Custom JB

Well, I'm on XquiziT's ROM, and I've been dying to get the actual JB release.
If I do the OTA update, will it erase root and reset my flash counter?
Will it harm my phone if I do an OTA while rooted?

I read around and found that I should ODIN root66,.. Anyone have an idiot-proof guide for doing this?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Try the firmware thread in my sig. Instructions for Odin are there.

Odin + root66 or official tar images will NOT trip your counter.

In Downloading mode

Not sure if anyone knows or notice.
When first time phone comes
It has
Factory Mode
System Status: Official
After rooted and reset by Triangle Away
Odin Mode
System Status: Custom
I thought it would reset everything back to factory like first time but no.
Unless I miss something.
Thanks.

After you flash triangle away you need to Odin back to the stock unrooted signed package and it will be 100% stock.

Triangle away

My counter keeps saying 2 no matter what I try I followed the instructions. Help?

Post what ROM you're on.
Triangle Away says it's always best to do it on a stock ROM.
Had the same problem, but there is a guide in the general section on how to unroot..... by DJ intrique (hope I spelled right). I followed that and worked beautifully.

Backup your current ROM.
Flash back to stock ROM and stock kernel. Even the debloated stock ROMs you find in the dev section should work,
Run triangle away.
Verify it worked.
Restore your backed up ROM.
Should take 10 minutes for this whole process, not counting the time to download the stock ROM.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
So after all that can I go back to my custom rom doing a re store?

Yup.
The counter only goes up when you flash something through Odin. If you reset it to 0 and flash 500 things from Recovery, the flash counter still stays at 0.
So if I wanted to Un root and return to stock how would I do that without tripping the flash counter don't I have to Odin?

Flash stock in odin.
Root.
Run triangle away to reset counter.
Uninstall triangle away.
Open SuperUser and click the untoot option.
Reboot.
You now have a stock phone.

You need the stock kernel & stock recovery I believe. CF Auto Root gives you just that and makes the process very simple.

Connect the phone to KIES and have it reset to factory defaults? Download the MK2 .tar and flash with ODIN?
Those are two ways to get everything back to factory fresh with the stock kernel.
