Ok, I upgraded directly to 4.1.2 from SamMobile, now I hope I get the update to 4.2.2 OTA...

I used to be a root user with ARHD, but had to many small issues (weather widget not showing correct location and not updating as it should).

Now I have a stock unrooted SIII, and must say, I do not feel any difference regarding ROM speed, battery life. Only downside is that I can't make a backup anymore (like Titatium Backup).

Thank you very much for this tutorial!

Far quicker and cleaner and better unroot if you rooted the stock FW...

run triangle away if you have a counter bla bla bla

then:

takes 3 seconds, you don't have to connect to the PC at all :)
[Galaxy S III General] doovd:
Go into recovery, do a full wipe of data and restart it :)
[Galaxy S III General] noobee1:
this entire process is correct, but what happens is when you use cfroot(the old one) it flashes a custom recovery which again sets the counter to one. for this Chainfire's new CF-AUTOROOT comes handy, it roots your device but it restores the stock recovery, so after that you can re-use triangle away which will reset your counter and then reflash stock rom.

I was stuck in this loop

1)stock rom, if custom rom you wont need 2nd step

2)cfroot(autoroot linked above, otherwise you will be stuck on counter 1)

3)use triangle away

4)format

5)use odin to flash stock rom

In SHORT- just follow the steps posted by OP(ashwin123) and just in place of CF-Root use CF-AutoRoot
[Galaxy S III General] JuanTelo:
custom kernel

Refering to the first post, does that process works with a rooted galaxy s3 with custom kernel , siyah kernel
[Galaxy S III General] shinyazz52:
I can confirm that this method for unrooting and returning to normal status worked fine for me coming from PA 3.60. Although when I flashed the stock rom via odin, I had boot loop at splash screen, so pulled battery, wiped cache and data and all is back to normal now. :)

[Galaxy S III General] Don_Lard:
Solved!!

Hello!

I am very excited for two reasons. ONE I was able to unlock my SGH-I747 (AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3), and TWO this is my first post on XDA forums!! :cyclops:

Although my response does not belong in this thread directly, but it was because of this thread I got my phone unlocked.

I have a SGH-I747 (AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3) , and until yesterday it was locked to AT&T. I read a lot about free unlocking and all the methods pointed towards entering a code on the keypad that starts with a *#xxxxx... These codes were just not working on my phone! Oh wait did I tell you that I am a "flash happy" person. Meaning I have installed MANY roms since this January! Thanks goes to all the developers for d2att ROMS.

I wondered, what if I just ask ATT for the unlock code. Will they give it to me? SO I tried it here : https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/termsAndCondition . Sure enough 24 hours later I have instructions to unlock my device and I have the unlock code. It wanted me to use a non-att sim and enter the unlock code when asked at unlocking the lock screen (lock unlock lock unlock confusing!!). I entered the code several times, and could not make it happen. The message "network unlock unsuccessful" kept on popping up. I called ATT and they verified that the code they gave me was correct and should have unlocked and that I should go to a ATT store to get help. I said :eek:. I cant go to a store with a custom ROM and download count set to 5 when in Download mode! I mean They wont even help me if they saw a custom ROM (or so I assumed). SO I searched my way to this thread. As I was going through the process step by step, I had a little light bulb moment.

I tried sammobile.com for the stock ROM only to find a throttled down download speed, one download for every thirty minutes, and corrupt zip that had the tar.md5 for ODIN that took me 30 minutes to download in the first place AFTER MAKING ME REGISTER. So needless to say I was very annoyed. Then I came to this website again for alternatives. AND! I found: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075639. YES!!! a modified stock ROM should do the trick!!

I got the ROM, installed it with CWM, and then tried the unlock procedure by putting in the T-Mobile SIM in it. Entered the unlock code when I was asked for it, and BOOM (it actually happened very quietly) the phone was unlocked, and the phone was happily talking to T-Mobile.

I want to unroot my I9300, but I'm unsure if I have to uninstall busybox first? Or can I let it be installed?

But if its returned under warranty busybox means you have rooted your phone and warranty is void .

Settings About Phone .
[Galaxy S III General] ycon:
Not sure what you're saying. Yes- that's where I got my information from, just unsure if that Kernel is stock.

I have unrooted and returned stock firmware (Australia)

I used "Triangle Away" to reset the binary counter.

When I boot to download mode, it says "Custom Binary Download: No". Does that mean the counter has been reset?

However- my phone still knows it was modified. When I click update software it says

"Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available".

My phone is originally from Poland- so could it say it's modified because it isn't using the Polish stock firmware?

I am returning it for warranty so it cannot show it has been modified. Please help

Boot into recovery , do a factory reset and then reboot , all should be normal .

Did this and it says official but I lost access point names so I no longer have mobile data. I obviously can't refresh through titanium bacup as I am no longer rooted. Do I need to go to my carrier to set up new apn or can I flash a new one? Please help.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
APN is mobile settings you type it in .
[Galaxy S III General] Sparky2448:
Yeah I figured that out. I rerooted restored previous rom wrote down those settings went back to this rom and put them in. That didn't work I still didn't have mobile data.

Hi, i got a little question. My S3 runs a 4.2.1 rooted. I wanted to use this tut but i have a problem , in my country there is no 4.2.1 stock firmware out yet. The last one matching my phone (ROMANIA-ORANGE) is 4.1.2. What should i do? should i take the steps one by one, and use the official 4.1.2 with odin ? And also, right now on "Status" , it's written "Official" , not modified. :)
[Galaxy S III General] MethMargera:
still fail to unroot..wakaka...

XD

maybe need to reflash back..XD
[Galaxy S III General] DizzyMizzy:
I think you should flash the last official firmware available in your country. Alternatively, you can flash an old official rom (like the 4.0.4) and then update it with kies

This is a guide for the GT-i9300 (International Version of S3)

Most recent version is 4.3

Everyone asking for links to roms, use sammobile.

It has every rom, from every carrier, for every country, for every handset.

Just register, it's free.

That's true, it's a great site, though i do not believe that will reset the counter. There is an app called Triangle Away which offers your best option for that. Again, no guarantees and is a XDA dev

Is anyones at&t htc one X capacitive lights calibration seem to be off. I've noticed must of the time they stay on. Even under bright florescent lights at work. They only go off pretty much in direct sunlight. Or if I hold the phone up to the light. And before anybody asks I do not have a case blocking the light sensor. It does react to my finger when I place over it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] agentdr8:
I think that's somewhat normal for this device, which is why there's a mod in the dev section that you can flash (assuming you're rooted/bl-unlocked) that will either disable them entirely, or dim them to an acceptable level.
