My S3 power button is super sensitive. If I touch it without any pressure at all, it turns on and off. If I were to send it back to Telus ( my provider) or Samsung, what precautions should I take and what should I do? I'm currently on the latest modem for Telus (MK5) and I'm on the 4.3 PAC man ROM. I cannot flash back to 4.1 or 4.2 stock as the mk5 modem prevents me and I will brick my phone. Thanks.

I have the same exact issue and what I did was just mapped my back key to turn screen off when long pressed. I know that wasn't the answer you were looking for exactly but its a work around.
Perhaps someone can point you in the direction of a stock 4.3 ROM that you can flash with odin but I couldn't advise you as I haven't needed to revert to stock for any reason

Thanks for your answer. I'm not really too into going for a work around as I think my warranty is still up and there's some other connection issues on it. Thanks for your reply once again. So all I have to do is get a 4.3 ROM and flash it and I'll be good to go? I know you said you haven't needed to flash back to stock but if I do, how would I reset the counter? I have triangle away at this moment.

No your warranty is void... If you go into download/Odin mode you will see warranty bit 1 in red letters in the top left of the screen at the bottom of all the writing. Regardless of which rom you flash you will be stuck with the custom flash counter having a count and showing device status as custom installed of official and the warranty bit 1 in red letters.
You might get lucky and they may not even check. But if they do...
Also you cannot use triangle away for the warranty bit portion and you're stuck with those bootloaders.

You`re right... you are stuck.. maybe try getting a repair quote from a third party repair shop for replacing the button... since you have already voided the warrenty anyway... May not be as bad as you think...
Okay, how much do you think it'll cost? I have alot of problems with the phone including LTE and connection issues so I would most likely want to send it back.

i need to unroot my s3 for warranty purposes but i cannot find proper procedures for the the model sgh-t999v..
i have 2 questions,
1. can i just root a stock rom for sgh-t999 to my sgh-t999v?
2. anyone have the procedures to unroot my sgh-t999v

Flash a stock rooted Rom. T-Mobile one. That seems to be ok as long as you don't flash a T-Mobile radio.
Not sure if triangle away works on the Canadian version.
Maybe someone else has tried it.
All I had to do to return my last one was flash a stock rooted Rom.
I don't think they check the flash counter

I can see you have a Videotron Galaxy S3. They don't check the flash counter. Let's just say I know this "by experience". As long as it's just rooted and you don't have any custom ROM, you should be fine. But indeed if you can at least hide the SU app it would be a good thing.
You could also perform a factory reset in CWM prior to going to the store, as they will make you do it anyways (and you actually don't want them to see the CWM screen)prior to any exchange. It's company policy.

If your trying to go back to stock, just download the stock rom from sammobile, it has everything you need like stock recovery, and then just flash it via odin.

I'll test it tonight, wouldn't look good to download a 700 mb file at work!
I tried a few firmwares, but for some reason they all said "unsupport dev_type" when trying to use odin to return to stock non root (from stock rooted) In the end, the easiest way to remove root was to just let Kies update my gs3 to Jelly Bean (sgh-t999v). Painless, no data loss, took about 30 minutes with the firmware download.
Good luck
You will likely also want to triangle away. I won't link because it's extremely dangerous software that requires you to read up on the risks.
But that will reset your custom flashes assuming you have some on your counter you can check easily by going into download mode.
i recently lost my stock rom backup.. deleted it off clockworkmod touch by accident, so i only have the cm10.1 nightly i was running when i deleted it.. now i'm assuming i will lose root if i flash the stock firmware through odin? is there another way to get my stock rom back without losing root (and cyanogenmod rom backups)?
hey guys im having trouble with triangle away on my sgh-t999v with the baseband version: T999VVLUFNF1
after I used triangle away and I go into download mode it says:
current binary: Samsung Official
System status: official
qualcomm secureboot:enable
Warranty Bit:1
Bootloader AP SWAEV: 2
Although the current binary and the system status have changed the warranty bit is still at 1
Please help!
There is no way (and never will be a way) to change the Warranty Bit. Sorry

I guess im screwed for warranty..I thought it might be cuz I have a custom kernal installed that triangle away didnt work..but thanks anyway and sorry about posting in multiple threads, im kinda new to this
No problem, thats why i mention it, so you know for the future.
Tecnically, with the warranty bit tripped, the warranty is void. However, i have seen a lot of posts where people sent it in anyway and their warranty was still honored. Its not a guarantee, but there is hope it can be used if needed. The good thing though, is you most likely will never need to use it anyway!

Yes thats possible. However, Your warranty will still be considered void if they find a custom rom on your device...so I dont get it?
Youll need both 0 Binary count and a Stock rom.
Yes i know but if the can't see this like with a SDS they will probably not see the custom ROM because not be able to flash. Im afraid of bricked issue. I mean if i cannot flash anymore. It's better to have counter reset instead of having nothing.
So it's better for me to reset counter even if I'm with custom rom? Is there a tutorial in my case rom custom + custom kernel?

Two words. Triangle Away.
The tutorial is the same whether with stock/rooted or custom/rooted. The only difference is you'll need to check "reset on boot" with Triangle Away to keep the counter from reading 1.
Thanks guys.
I know for stock rom before send to warranty. But first i reset counter.
But if i do it before flash stock. I will have to do it again after flash stock Rom??

Just uninstall Triangle Away AFTER you've reverted back to stock and unrooted and the counter should remain 0 and read official.
If you haven't had the phone that long, why not do a dry run from stock/unrooted to custom/rooted and then back to stock/rooted (with Triangle Away installed and doing its job of course) and see for yourself.
Thanks bro
I go step by step because im a newbie. I have already rooted and custom kernel rom. I'll read the thread of triangle away and try this.
But if i have some problem i can count on you and all the community ?

here is some possible ways
-Having custom kernel/recovery, still yo can reset counter but for that you need play store version of triangle away, which have option to reset counter at every boot. again to remember you need custom kernel which support this function. this will help you if your device brick in a way when no normal boot is possible (still i doubt any existing custom kernel offers it)
- If device still able to boot normally and you have custom kernel/recovery, you can flash stock kernel and recovery and after that you can reset counter.
-For stock kernel and recovery, you can reset triangle(needs root) and can uninstall triangle away. whenever you need to claim warranty just unroot it.
Last option is safest way who are worrying about warranty.
one more good thing is that, most common cause of brick is SDS, we already have fix for that, though unfortunately someone gets SDS, i have seen lots of cases when even presence of custom kernel/recovery, hardly bootloader can detect it b'coz of emmc read failure and warranty remains intact. in fact i have seen only one case of SDS where download mode showing flash binary count non zero, though i was not ready to believe it was SDS (history what i remember is, one guy have posted here, his GF have got device bricked and claim was rejected b'coz of raised flash counter, her device needed to replace mobo that's it. no further information was there and hard to believe it was SDS by just this much information)

Thanks a lot for these details!
I use the perseus kernel andi don't know if he can use the auto reset counter with triangle away?
But if i understand what you said (sorry for my bad english speaking) almost all of the SDS will not avoid the warranty. If it's not a SDS I'm supposed to flash again with download mode?
Si should i try triangle away with perseus kernel?
Thanks again!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Better ask on perseus forum if this option available, b'coz you have to purchase triangle away from market for that. Though it's welcome if you this way want to support developers.
Another your question possibility of Flashing in non sds case, that is really depends on types of brick you have. Though just flashing is not enough, you need to flash stock kernel and recovery as well you should have device working (booting) normally, bcoz triangle away needs normal booting device. So in case of brick I don't think you may get chance.
Simple advice
If you really worrying about flash counter and warranty, then keep stock maximum use root with reseting counter
Or
Let leave on luck and enjoy custom stuff.

There are plenty of guides in xda regarding unrooting.
Download stock firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com for your device.
Use triangle away to reset counters.
Flash stock firmware and optionally factory reset.
Thanks, I take it that I use triangle away before unrooting? Also will doing this remove TWRP or do I have to do something else for that?

Can't use triangle away unless you're rooted. So do it before you flash stock. Never really used it much so won't know the details but aparently if you have custom kernels installed, the counter will stay at 1, so you might wanna switch to stock firmware, root it, triangle away, then use the full unroot option on your superuser app or alternatively just reflash stock firmware.
Thanks but as i put in my original post i havent flashed any ROMS so im using stock firmware anyway.

Yes. Flashing a custom 4.3 rom through recovery (not odin) without the knox bootloader is like flashing any other rom. You can go back to 4.2 for warranty purposes just like any other time.

I launched odin 1.85 installed OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3 into the phone, ( it passed) and then i installed ROOT_M919UVUAMDL after it rebooted i started getting this
"kernel is not se android enforcing

lol well it wont go past the galaxy s screen. it stuck there and it gives me the error, also i believe its because the stock rom i got was android 4.2 but it was running 4.3. i dont even care what os runs as long as i get my phone running. i tried going through all the posts in the other threads but I dont understand some of the procedures to get them running. cyanogen mod looks nice and simple
I got it to boot up with a nexus rom, its really different from touch wiz it still gave me the kernel error when i booted it but it ran fine afterwards, i was also checking out the rom and it said that I only have 1.2 gb of ram when ireally have 2 gb. slowly but surely i'm starting to dig this changing of the roms, haha. can anyone hook it up with a link the latest firmware of stock touchwiz? i kinda want to get it running good by the weekend. thanks in advance
There's nothing wrong with the message at boot up, you tripped the Knox counter so that's why you get that message.. You can just flash a stock ROM if you want to go back to touchwiz

well, i got the replaced but guess what, it still has the sim card issue, i'm' a 3rd sim card so it seems like these phones are factory defective. looks like I will have to call samsung and try to get it replaced again.
