So for the people that updated to 4.3 and run ROMs such as s3rx , dandroid, infamous, etc... Did you guys not care about flash counter and warranty and just updated anyway. Or have no intentions of going to anything lower than 4.3 because risk of brick.

With 4.3 and 4.4 around the corner I am sure I will find one I like. And my phone is more then 1 year old so not worried a out the warrenty.

You can still go below 4.3 but only by flashing the ROM, not firmware

When I rooted my galaxy note 2, I couldnt update it... does that mean I have to unroot it when there is android 4.2 update for my galaxy note 2? ??
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Unroot, use triangle away, restore stock recovery if you switched to cwm and factory reset to change from modified to stock

If only haha. Once you unroot, the device still says modified because the binary flash counter has increased from 0 to 1 (or higher). That pretty much tells the phone that your device was modified.
There are a few guides around on how to do it. I can't really search at the moment as Im on my phone.

So If I want to update with samsung when android 4.2 comes out so I have to use triangle away and also unroot it???
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Thats right. Someone mentioned just downloading the file from www.sammobile.com when its released and flashing that with odin.
Im not sure if that works while rooted but may be worth investigating?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Ok... then...
I'll go check it
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There is guides in this forum relating to your issue, but basically use Triangle Away, then wipe data/cache and it should change your status, though some say it reverts back to modified after time...
I would just leave it rooted. 4.2 based roms will be available here probably long before you would see it getting pushed to your device by your carrier.

Downloading and installing the firmware using ODIN resolves the issue.

Various ways to unroot but for warranty id do triangle away first, then odin a stock rom, make sure you pull the sd card, factory reset... that should work to get counter to 0 and normal status

It should roll out in a week or two. I just have custom rom running 4.1.2 stock touchwiz try out axis rls 19. It's all themed but you can just choose stock and it has a lot of modifications.
I get s4 weather widget though. Here's the link:

I was on chat with a Videotron tech and he told me there's no date set for when the 4.1.2 firmware will be available.
I guess the same goes for all Canadian carriers of the S3 (version SGH-T999V).
Any news from Wind or the other Canadian carriers?
Sent from my SGH-T999V using xda premium
In the past they didnt announce a date, they just did it. Im certain itll happen though. Just gotta be patient I guess.
You can still flash one of the 4.1.2 roms based on the us version.

It seems we've been waiting long enough already but, what can we do?
I tried some of the roms based on 4.1.2 but I prefer to get the real update.
So, more of the waiting game!

I don't know what you mean by "real update" since the T999V's only difference is the baseband. If you get a stock rooted build of MD5 (Root66 is a great example), you have a "real update" to 4.1.2. Its just not official by Samsung but it will work the same as an official release would.
actually, there are more differences. Each of the 3 Canadian versions are very close to each other indeed, but there are small differences in what bloat is added. Plus I was also told one of them (videotron I think) uses different network technologies than the other two.
None of them have T-Mobile bloatware though and are quite lightweight in that regard I've been told.
You are correct though, that any of them can use each others builds (minus baseband) and can easily get 4.1.2 by doing so.

My grandma has a sprint Note 2 (I have an S3) and is the 4.3 a FOTA? I won't be able to get to her until like Dec 20th and root her phone.and install CM or modded stock.

Yup it can read around the forum it can be completely non existent on 4.3 using lorjay 598 rom or removing it your self. His rom even remove the knox bootloader which prevent you from downgrading . Read the thread he has

I had read that Samsung did not push KNOX out on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 (4.3) update because of file size, but I found the files on my Note 2 using Elixir. I don't have the app icon, but the files are certainly loaded on my phone. Thanks for the heads up!
No problem. Some devices have the icon in the app drawer like my s4 but this does not sneaky samsung.

MrRobinson' root66 is exactly what you seem to be looking for. Totally tmo tw with root. Look for the UVBMD1 version. Personally I won't be going to 4.3 via the anticipated OTA as other TW OTA's have been *frustrating* for users. I am on Tweaked and am quite happy to wait until dwitherell is able to work up a good rom. YMMV.
