So I rooted my phone - only to run app2sd type stuff, stayed on original rom.
I need to send it back under warranty, so I've 'unrooted' it, ran triangle away and flashed over a stock rom (even thought it was already stock) and this is what I now get on the download screen:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
What do you think my chances of Samsung refusing to fix this as their policy is not to fix 'rooted' phones?
have u even tried to search over xda or in Google :silly::silly:
Try to flash stock recovery and use triangle away.

You need to root again, when everything is stock except root run triangle away to reset the counter and after this unroot. Triangle away needs root to work and also stock kernel and stock recovery

Thanks vagsvag and Manjunath324 :good:
I kept getting a flash counter of 1 and device unmodified or a counter of none and device modified
After lots of experimenting with different versions of odin and different versions of triangle away I've finally got it looking good!

When I was first unlocking/rooting I had some issues when it came to installing a recovery. I wanted twrp but what happened is that after installing I was unable to boot into it. I flashed it multiple times and it seemed to write, but I could not boot into it. So I tried cwm and was able to get into of the first time. I don't have an issue with cwm, its just with the bottoms on the n7 it makes it harder to use. I want a touch recovery but don't see a working cwm touch yet. What do I have to do to get twrp installed correctly?

Another issue is wherever cwm installed itself isn't the usual place. My backups are not on my SD as normal. Instead they are @ :
Is there any way to fix this without going back to stock or losing data?
Thanks

You should just be able to flash the twrp.img file from a command prompt. It will replace your CWR completely. Look in the general section for a post on unlocking/rooting/recovery it's pretty strait forward.

I can't flash this thing because every time I hook it up to Odin it says removed before it can pass and I have even tried flashing Modem kernel and ROM separate any ideas?

Have you tried another cable and/or pc?
Sometimes my laptop will just not play nice, and I have to use my desktop to program phones.
No I haven't tried using a diff PC guess should try that

Umm. I notice your Sig says SGH-T989... Are you sure you have the right files? This forum is for the SGH-D710.
I am running stock 4.3 rooted. When I rooted I installed custom recovery. My phone has been choppy lately so in hopes that it would make my phone run smoother I tried to go into recovery (first time in ages) to wipe cache and dalvik. When I tried to go into recovery I got a "no commend' error and then regular stock Android recovery started. In the background was a dead android robot with a "!" symbol coming out of him.
I wiped cache with stock recovery and then selected the reboot option. The phone didn't reboot, I got "error!" message and that was it. I powered down, restarted and everything is back to the way it was. But what happened to my custom recovery? What should I do at this point to get it back?
Only thing I can think of is at some point I accidentally clicked on the OTA update notification. So my phone tried and failed to update because I'm rooted. Could that cause problems? What should I do?
Just Odin Philz Recovery

Did you do as bilgerryan said? Would like to know the outcome of your issue.

I just unrooted my S3 to be able to update to the stock 4.4 rom using QBKings method. However, after doing this I went into the stock recovery just to make sure it was there and all and on the screen is a dead android with a red triangle. I did a quick google search but can't find anything about this.
What's causing the dead android symbol? The phone boots fine and other than that symbol the stock recovery seems to work so i don't understand why it's there.
Thanks in advance, I know this is a now outdated device but I still love it and want to figure out what's going on.

Ok, thank you. I hadn't seen it before so I wasn't sure and wanted to check.
So I thought I'd relive a bit of nostalgia and I ordered a phone I used a lot back in 2012/2013, the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160), on eBay.
It arrived, but it was already rooted and was definitely sporting some custom rom. Seemed a bit odd. So I searched through my computer backups and found an Official 4.1.2 Stock Firmware for the I8160. Cool.... I'll just flash that with Odin.
NOPE.
When Odin gets to flashing the modem.img it fails, and on the device screen there's red writing saying "Custom Modem Binary !!". Weird. I decided that maybe this phone was from another region so I downloaded another official rom but it came up with the same error. i have now tried over 10 different region roms, including one for the I8160P. All failed. You can see on the device it clearly says "GT-I8160", so I really don't get where I'm going wrong.
I tried using emergency firmware recovery in Kies but it doesn't even recognise the device. Or at least it doesn't show up on the list of devices requiring firmware recovery.
Does anyone know what the hell I'm doing wrong?? It's almost as if I'm flashing the wrong device model. I'm stumped.
(PS. The 13 counts of custom firmwares in the image are from all the different roms I've tried to revive the device)
