Edited** fixed the issue. I apologize, research owns me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoachForLife:
Excuse my ignorance (if this was already mentioned) but is there a root injected JellyBean TW stock avail that doesnt trip the counter? As of 1 week ago there wasnt but I believe the source code was released a few days back so I was hopeful

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
Flashing the root-injected LK3 image in the OP with ODIN will not trip the counter. It's when you add a custom revovery to JB that you start tripping the counter when booting into recovery. So if you don't want any custom recovery just do steps 1 & 2 and you are done.

If you do want custom recovery without tripping the counter, then just start with ICS that already has custom recovery, and flash image with Mobile ODIN, de-selecting recovery partition. This will flash JB without overwriting your existing custom recovery and you will not run into any issues with counter. See more detailed instructions here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2036987
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
They have officially released the jelly bean version. So if you use Kies or Odin to flash the latest JB without root you are still completely covered under warranty. You do not have to put back on the OS that shipped with your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoachForLife:
I actually run CM10 now with CWM recovery. Does all of the logic you just said still apply? Was looking to go to JB stock with root, but still have the ability to go back to CM10 or similar down the road

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
Thanks for the info
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] markandmyia:
I have seen this with others, and they had to factory reset from recovery. Good luck
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
I'm not that familiar with CM10, is it ICS? If so and you already have custom recovery in place (ie CWM or TWRP) and currently have count of zero (whether with Jig or Triangle Away App) then yes just flash rom in OP using Mobile Odin and de-select recovery and flash it. Will require full wipe/reset of course. Then you get rooted JB with your previous recovery intact and no counter tripping. And you then flash any other rom, etc you want with your recovery and not trip the counter going forward. With JB it's booting into recovery that trips the counter, by sticking with your pre-existing recovery you won't run into that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gravedigger76:
Done that a number of times, both in CWM and TWR
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] helfrez:
Hey mrRobinson,

I know this is a long shot, but do you think it would be possible to use a kernel+cwm for the ATT S3 on the ATT Galaxy Tab2 10.1? The US Carrier versions of the Tab2 10.1 got a SoC swap for the same Snapdragon S4 (MSM8960) as the S3 phones, so I would imagine the kernels are the same or strikingly similar. My apologies for hopping in this post and not the Tab2 forums, but the US carrier versions are mostly overlooked atm, and I am dying for a little root action.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
This doesn't make sense to me..I know when flashing any of these stock rooted ROMs it wipes whatever ROM is currently on the phone and its associated apps and data for it plus the boot loader and recovery mod if any...and puts it to a complete clean new stock carrier image...just like when I did it first time.. not sure how your apps and data went untouched (unless backed up and reloaded after) but once again I just want prior confirmation....

And maybe MrRobinson can answer this:

Does doing this complete Odin flash to stock image also wipe the phones internal USB storage area too or leave it intact?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
If you are coming from a stock rom you can flash root image from the OP and it will upgrade to JB but will not wipe your apps. If coming from a custom rom then you will need to do a full wipe/factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
OK got that...makes sense I guess but wasn't getting at the jb stock ROM but anyways and more importantly...does this leave the sdcard partition and its data alone?

That's all I want to confirm and keep asking repeatedly...

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
It does not wipe anything on /data or your internal or external /sdcard.

how can i root my AT&T galaxy i747 DLK3 jelly bean
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinaury:
Reading my friend, reading and last resouce asking.

But, FYI you can root installing a custom recovery and installing super su app, download cf autoroot it leaves de factory recovery or install a ROM with the root inyected. All the thread are on the developers forum
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Say I wanted to flash TWRP instead of CWM (I have CWM now; great guide!).

Can I "overwrite" my /recovery partition completely/cleanly/safely by using this ADB code again (just this time recovery.img is actually TWRP)?

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Or do I need to somehow uninstall CWM recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
You can write right over. No reason to remove CWM first. You can also grab goo manager from the play store and select install openrecovery script. That will install TWRP for you and you can keep it updated that way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
I'm out of thanks, but HUGELY THANK YOU. :D

I went the OpenRecoveryScript way and TWRP installed without a hitch! :) CWM and its mediascanner-crazy and oversized /blobs folder, not to mention the MD5 hash resetting, had gotten to me. :(

Making a backup now! :)

HELP

My device was having some issues with an AOKP ROM, decided to use Odin 3.07 back to the Stock (pre-rooted) Rogers tar from this thread (and then install CWM Recovery afterwards)

Ran the Stock .Tar in Odin, it appeared to be successful in Odin, looks like it went to Pass in Odin.....but now the device has been stuck on the Samsung boot screen for 30 minutes :(

Suggestions??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] funkdoobi:
Having the exact same issue right now...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
When coming from a different room you need to full wipe. Boot into recovery and factory reset/wipe data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sianspheric:
I can't boot into recovery at all, that's the issue. I can boot into Download mode, that's all.

Once I ran the pre-rooted stock rom via Odin the phone never rebooted fully back up, it just got stuck in the Samsung boot screen, I then tried flashing the CWM Recovery in Odin, Odin said it was passed, but I could never boot into Recovery, just into the Samsung boot screen. I even tried booting into Recovery in the Samsung QCom Toolkit from this forum but it said "device not found" when I tried to use the option to reboot into Recovery.

I did another flash of the pre-rooted stock rom via Odin last night and it appeared fine again but got stuck in the Samsung boot screen, I left it plugged in to my laptop all night thinking it might just need like an hour, it was on all night and never got past the boot screen.

Right now I am DLing the non-rooted Stock IMAGE for my carrier and hoping to absolute hell that it will work in Odin and reboot the phone properly, because I'm scared ****less I've totally screwed it up now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanuckinPA:
Had the same problem going back from CM10. Wipe did the trick.

Big thanks and Merry Christmas to Mr. Robinson! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
If you used odin to flash the pre-root or stock firmware then you have stock recovery and you can easily get to it. Power off phone and hold vol up + home + pwr.

That puts you direct into recovery. Do full wipe and then reboot. Your phone will boot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jp6285:
To check my understanding on the best way to root and get CWM

1. Go back to ICS for those that have already moved to JB (unrooted)

2. Root/install CWM

3. flash JB through Mobile Odin with the cache and recovery files removed

from there as long as we dont change the recovery files we can boot into CWM without tripping the counter. From what i understand the "modified" indicator doesnt really matter as it goes away if you flash back to stock

forgive what I'm sure is an oversimplification, but I'm simple.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hiflyer29:
I just used mrRobinsons method to flash his rooted JB using Odin (over stock JB updated with Kies), then downloaded Mobile Odin and flashed TWRP recovery. Works great!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jp6285:
so mobile odin will allow you to flash a new recovery and get around the counter even when you boot into recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hiflyer29:
Yes, I just checked mine and it stil reports counter=0 and Binary Official.

Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gravedigger76:
It's weird, i tried that a million times the other day when i was trying to get stock+root rom installed. Nothing helped.

It was stuck at samsung screen for ever.

I tried going into stock recovery and doing factory reset / cache wipe, nothing

I even re-loaded cwm tried from there, nothing, loaded TWR tried from there, nothing, flashed stock recovery from there, nada. just got stuck at samsung.

I tried all of the above methods with both stock + root and even with just stock thinking i can always flash cwm and su, both roms just got stuck at samsung.

the only other thing i did not try, and gave up was to flash back to ICS stock and try keis to update to jb stock and root after.. i chose to try out 10.1 AOKP instead :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
Finally

Thanks Mr, Robinson,

This worked wonders for my phone. Now it's time to do even more de-bloating

Is there a way to flash cwm with Odin? I recently flashed the new prerooted jb through Odin and am looking for a simple method to install cwm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hiflyer29:
I just used Mobile Odin to flash TWRP recovery to my phone. You could also flash CWM if you desire.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Noxey:
If I'm planning on flashing custom roms anyway, does it matter if I root with JB or ICS? If not, I might as well use ICS so I don't trip my counter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hiflyer29:
If at sometime you may want to go back to stock, I would flash the rooted JB and then nandroid. Then you could just restore and have the latest jellybean..... just my 2 cents.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CollegeProfesor:
I cant get 7zip to open the ATT Jelly Bean file. It says cant open as archive. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intub8:
Seems too easy to be true, let me make sure I have it right. Flash the root injected rom image from Mr Robinson in odin. Next flash twrp recovery in mobile odin. Then I can reboot into twrp and flash the rom of my choice with out ever tripping the flash counter?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hiflyer29:
Yes, that is the way I did mine and counter=0 and binary official.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intub8:
And is that with the stock rooted 4.1.1 , my only concern is I have been reading where people with a custom recovery increase the flash counter every time they boot into it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ralphie1267:
I just did this u have to factory reset it work perfectly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intub8:
can you link me to the recovery file you used . the only one i have found is an img and i cant get mobile odin to flash that
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hiflyer29:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
You should factory wipe

i flash touch cwm recovery through mobile odin on rooted rogers LK4, it trip my binary counter to 1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intub8:
I had the same thing happen to me , the solution I found was after flashing the custom recovery I flashed the rom I wanted to use and then i flashed the stock recovery in mobile odin , at the end i used triangle away to fix the flash counter. The only way not to trip the flash counter on 4.1 is to use a stock recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawen:
yeah thats bascially what i did, reset the counter and pc odin back to ICS and install cmw recovery and flash any of those 4.1 roms
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intub8:
Have you had any issues with the jb roms after you flashed back to ics. I see some devs recommend that you flash from stock jb so the partitions are correct or something like that. Has anyone else heard anything like that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sthodupunuri:
I searched and could not find anything about this, so forgive me if this is a repeat question. Since this is flashing with odin, will all my data be erased (such as apps, settings, etc.)? I am new to this phone, but in my prior experiences, odin always wipes data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
This will not wipe your data. You are correct sometimes the stock tar will wipe but if that is set I remove it to leave the wiping up to the user where necessary.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
I had the same issue this morning, and discovered when I booted into any custom recovery (clockwork, TWRP), but not stock, the flash counter would automatically trip to and stay on 1. It seems that Samsung has did something to the new bootloader so that it will trip the counter anytime a custom recovery is booted into.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawen:
i have never heard any issues with jb rom on a ics recovery, all roms works i tried almost every single jelly bean twiz rom, no issue at all as long you dont forget to flash the LK4 modem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Death&co:
Just wanted to say that you. This guide was beyond easy to understand and I was able to root my first Android phone without an issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] steelcity:
it sounds like everybody keeps saying you have to factory wipe to get it to work though.

i have the latest rooted ICS stock with CWM and would like to upgrade to jelly bean but if i have to reset everything i almost don't even want to bother.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Ask you have to do to not trip the counter is use odin to install ics, then make sure counter is 0 then install mobile odin and you can install anything without tripping the counter!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radiumX:
Can I use the ATT JB image to flash back to stock? I'm currently using cm 10.1 and am unhappy with it. On both CM10 and CM10.1 bluetooth does not work. CM10 was great otherwise but 10.1 is still too buggy, and as such I'd like to just go back to stock Samsung JB. Will the file in the OP do the trick. I.E. Can I just use clockwork mod to flash as I could with any other rom? Also do I need to flash gapps with the stock image?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
You use Odin to flash this. IT is full stock including the bloatware. You are fully stock plus rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radiumX:
My problem is that I don't have Odin, I'm on Linux. I use Linux at work and at home. I'm sure somewhere at work there is a windows PC but I'd feel odd asking if I could borrow it to flash my phone lol. Is there NO stockish rom anywhere? Ideally it would be as stock as possible without the bloatware, but with root, and something I could flash using CWM, just like any other rom. Thanks for the reply.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y0yerrj0sh:
There are stockish roms like Jedi Invasion, and i think serenity 1.2 if those are what you are looking for here are the links (i personally have no experience with either one of them so if you are going to flash i would recommend reading what some people are saying about bugs/issues if any at all)

I did the reading and think that this thread is very helpful. I have a new SGS 3 AT&T with JB preinstalled. Here is what I understand I need to do.

- Download LK3 AT&T rooted image + ODIN

- Flash image using ODIN

- Install Universal Search

Done

To install custom ROMS

Choice 1)

- Buy and install Mobile ODIN

- Install roms using Mobile ODIN - This will not reset flash counter

Choice 2)

- Install Custom Recovery using ADB - Follow instruction in first post that say "Third, (optional) On JellyBean versions, flashing a custom recovery will trip ......."

- Download and install ROMS using recovery

- Using custom recovery will trip counter to 1

- Download Chainfire's Triangle app to reset flash counter

Anyone here with Fido carrier in Canada. Should be same as rogers and they just released the i747M under the fido banner.

Came with 4.1.1 so trying to find a way to flash without worrying about warranty and tripping the counter.

Has anyone tried it yet or have insights?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daandman:
I'm completely stuck here, so I really hope somebody can help.

I tried flashing a ROM, clearly something went wrong, and now I can't turn on my phone or boot into recovery. I still get the charging animation when I plug it in, so I know it's not completely bricked, and I can still get into download mode. That would be great if I were on a PC, but unfortunately I have a Mac, so Odin isn't an option. Is there ANYTHING I can do?? I know I'll probably need to reset to stock & all that, which is fine, but how can I do that on a Mac when my only option is download mode?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madballs:
I have a I747M from Fido. The stock ROM for FIDO is posted on SamMobile under the region code of FMC. You can use this to return to stock ROM with ODIN. But run the TriangleAway app before you flash the stock ROM so the flash counter goes back to zero.

By the way, would someone be able help inject root into the Fido stock ROM? The stock ROM is posted on SamMobile with a region code of FMC. There is no Fido bloatware installed on this stock ROM from what I see on my device. May even be cleaner than a stock Telus ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Since Telus, bell, rogers and fido all use the same baseband version (vldlk4) can I flash any of those images on my phone with no issues? The reason I ask is I'm using an unlocked Telus phone but I'm with fido. And if I want to leave the rooted stock rom on my phone I would rather have fido's bloatware than Telus'. I will most likely end up flashing a different rom over top in the future anyways, I'm just curious if I will have issues flashing the fido image on my Telus phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
I don't see any problems with doing what you're describing, given the identical basebands.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
It's been done on a regular basis for people whose carriers don't (or didn't at the time) have a pre-rooted stock image available based on their firmware (e.g. using Rogers for Fido devices before the Fido stock image became available).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
