Regarding the modem, I know performance depends on several factors such as location, time of day, signal strength, etc but I did flash back to LH9 modem and found on avg aprox 25% better d/l and 150% better upload speeds with LH9 modem vs LK3's... Just for info.

Hi, i just downloaded and flashed the Stock Jelly Bean Rogers ROM. It successfully flashed via Odin, and it auto rebooted and now its been at the glowing Samsung logo for about 2-3 mins. How long is it supposed to be at that logo? I previously had CyanogenMod 10.0 Stable running & ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

Okay, so it was just stuck at the glowing Samsung Logo, so i took out the battery and restarted the phone and for the last 20 mins it still stuck at the same glowing Samsung logo. What do i do? I need to get onto the Stock rom. Should i re-download it or just re-flash the one i already downloaded?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
OK I think have figured this out... :laugh:

Obviously, we know BakaNeko59's method works, if you do it as your first or initial upgrade from ICS (LH1/LH9) to JB (LK3). Several people have reported success.

However, if you have already upgraded to JB the typical way, that is via Odin (or Kies, I suppose), this doesn't work. Even reverting back to a pre-JB nandroid and then performing the steps still results in a counter increment any time you go into recovery. Heck even if you only revert to ICS you get a count anytime you enter recovery. It's as if the JB detection "sticks" for lack of a better term.

So, if you have already upgraded to JB, but really, really don't want the count to increment when you go into recovery, here are the steps.

NOTE: You will have to fully wipe, you will have to revert to bone stock LH1 and then go forward from there. The usual warnings apply, make a nandroid first!. These are typical wiping/flashing steps we use everyday, however there is always the possibility something can go wrong and you could brick your device or fubuar your IMIE. You have been warned.

Tools required:

Odin (on PC)

Mobile Odin

Triangle Away

Stock Recovery

Custom Recovery of your choice.

ICS Image on PC (from OP)

JB Image on Phone (from OP)

1. Perform a Nandroid backup, and secure off device, either on SDCARD or xfer to PC, etc.

2. Re-Read the warnings above.

3. Install Triangle Away, and reset your counter to 0. Power off Phone.

4. Power up in Download Mode, and use Odin to Install Stock Recovery

5. Power Off Phone, Boot into Stock Recovery

6. In Stock Recovery, Fully wipe/reset device.

7. Power off Phone

8. Power up phone in Download Mode.

9. Using Odin (from PC), flash ICS Rooted Image ATT I747UCALG1 (ICS 4.0.4); and restart phone.

10. Perform initial setup so you can download Mobile Odin (or, install saved apk's if you have them).

11. Install Custom Recovery of Choice ( I used TWRP from OP, installed via Odin). There are several options for installing in the OP.

11. Once you have Custom Recovery and Mobile Odin installed, you can now you can perform BakaNeko59's process above

Performing these steps allowed me to see the same results as BakaNeko59. I have booted into TWRP recovery several times to install mods (mrRobinsons's debloater, for instance), and performed Nandroid Backups, and my counter still shows 0/Official.

For anyone having the same issue: Where after flashing the phone boots up to the glowing Samsung logo and stays there:

Well i kept having the same issue. Where i would flash the Stock Jelly Bean and it would just stay at the glowing Samsung Logo. I was on a custom ROM. After doing some research I found that if you're on a custom ROM and you want to flash back via Odin the stock ROM you have to first boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and go into Mounts & Storage and format /system. After doing this I re-flashed the stock Jelly Bean ROM. This time it successfully booted into the operating system rather than staying at the glowing Samsung logo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
Was just about to reply but sounds like you got it - yes coming from custom full wipe is needed. I actually like Full wipes anytime I do anything OS related, but I know lots of people don't want to do that.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoachForLife:
Newb question here. I have a stock ATT S3 with ICS on it. I plan to go to CM10. Would it make more sense to put the pre injected ICS rom on there so that I dont trip the counter when I go to CM10? Based on my understanding that if I put the new JB pre injected rom, it will trip the counter when I go to CM10.

Also if I chose to go to the JB one now, and wait on the CM10. Will someone likely come up with a method to load CM10 without tripping in the near future? Or is that unlikely?

Thanks all

followed all these instructions perfectly and this is the message I get in Odin:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> KIES_HOME_I747MVLDLK4_I747MOYADLK4_538866_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

So...nothing happens. Phone is on in Download mode, installing the md5 with root installed.

Using Odin 3.07, auto reboot and f.s reset are both clicked on.

Any ideas?

EDIT: SOLVED, tried a better quality Micro USB cable and it somehow worked.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] apowers_1:
So I have tried to read as much as possible about this root, and I think I have it right.

But, just to double check....I am using the original file posted for my Bell Galaxy S III (root66_BMC_I747MVLDLK4.7z) and Odin for PC to install it.

I don't want to install any mods, but I want to try to get the call recorder to work.

As far as I know, this ROM is just injected with the ROOT access, and nothing more, correct?

I may want to get rid of the Bloatware later, but is there something out there to open up the call record function with out a Modded image?

Thanks for any help!....

Edit....I think I'm pretty sure that all I want to do, eventually, is: 1) Have Root Access 2) Remove Bloatware 3) Have Call Record 4) Unlock Phone

I know not all these features are available yet, but hopefully they will be, eventually.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Just read these 33 pages. #rooting101

I made a FAQ from all I learned, if you wanted to add this to the OP or just leave it here:

Wait--what is the flash counter?

It's an internal warranty-breaking scheme implemented by Samsung. It counts how many times you've modified the phone in certain ways. Yes, "certain ways": flashing some ways won't trip the counter. And if you trip it, flashing back to stock won't get rid of it. You can use the paid Triangle Away app to reset the flash counter, as noted below.

What does it look like if I trip the counter?

What WILL trip the flash counter:

JB ONLY BELOW (THESE NEXT TWO QUOTES):

So, in summary: flashing anything through Odin EXCEPT THE FILES IN THE FIRST POST will trip the flash counter (this applies to all phones). If you are a JB user and have a custom recovery or custom kernel, you will trip the flash counter (but only once...meaning, you'll go to 1 and stay at 1).

Oh, crap! I tripped it already!

"Paying for an app"? What's he talking about? Oh, right, Chainfire's Triangle Away app; it costs US $2.49 and will reset your flash counter to No/0.

Can I lose my IMEI doing this?

No, as far as we can tell. Of the thousands of people who've run this, no one has came back to tell us they lost their IMEI this way. ;)

So, similar to how Samsung tracks the flash counter, Android tracks your "Device status," which can be viewed Settings->About Device->Status->Device Status (at the very bottom). As noted below, it's triggered by installing BusyBox.

Wait, what's BusyBox?

Wait, what did Mr. Robinson just say? I can just flash back to stock and the modified status goes back to normal? YES. So, nobody cares about the modified status. :D

Other important things you should know! :)

Not Familiar with LI5, but you can flash latest ATT ICS listed in OP with ODIN, and then go to LH9 (latest ATT OTA updates) following the thread linked in the OP. Look at the "AT&T Users wanting latest ICS only" section...

Should work fine. Use instructions in OP to flash ATT I747UCALG1 (ATT ICS) image with ODIN, then you will be on stock rooted.

You can use ODIN to flash JB later if you want as well instead of Kies...

While I know all of that, it's a great post. Would be nice to be easily found, ie in OP, or sticky.

But, FYI...I own Triangle away, and have TWRP installed. What I find is that even after running Triangle away to clear the counter, what happens is the counter says 'scanning'. Next reboot, it's back to 1 (even though I didn't load recovery).

[EDIT]

Hmmm....after posting, I decided to try again. When I go into Triangle Away, it says the count is 0. But the status from withing Settings/Phone Status is Modified. Maybe that is just because I still have TWRP installed. Or...maybe more likely, becuase I installed something that requires Busybox.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
I am trying to clarify everything I am reading before I make any steps in my next endeavor. I am trying to avoid tripping the counter if possible.

My SGS3 shipped with LH9 and I updated to JB through Kies. Then I rooted with the JB file provided. Can I go back to ICS (since I was already on LH9) utilizing the ICS method mentioned by the OP for ICS only? My understanding that as long as it is the stock rom that I downgrade to, it should not be a problem and should not trip the flash counter. I came from using HTC phones prior to this and there were items such as the bootloader that had to be tackled first in order to downgrade so I am just making sure I am understanding correctly (seems almost too simple).

My next question hinges on whether I can go back to ICS with the method above. If I were to go back to ICS, would this mean that I can install a custom recovery without tripping the flash counter? Based off the posting if I can make it back to ICS I should be good. My goal is to install the latest stable version of CM. Would installing the latest version of CM which is JB trip the counter? If installing it does not trip it will rebooting into recovery do so? Still trying to bring my knowledge up to speed regarding the whole trip counter and JB.

Forgive any ignorance on my part. After days upon days of extensive reading I am still learning and trying to get accustomed to the Samsung side of rooting and customizing android devices. Still trying to get my head away from the HTC side of the house (which was a pain sometimes because of S-on/S-off and bootloaders).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
Yes. You can use Odin to flash ICS, LH9. then load a non-stock recovery. With that recovery I'd flash CM10 and also the latest modem.

then you'll be set.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Thank you for the reply. Considering I prefer CM then I will definitely do this. Still have JB and no tripped counter... I'm all in. I can deal without the Samsung UI since I use third party apps anyway.

Been a while since I originally flashed and rooted my phone with this method..very easy BTW.. I know its a full flash with boot loader and recovery, etc...only thing I want to confirm is if it wipes the data on the SD card partition of the internal phone storage and the personal files and backups on it?

So does this wipe ROM/data/boot/recov....or all that AND SD card data too basically meaning the WHOLE phone?

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
When I flashed the ROM, I maintained all of my apps and data. Of course I did a factory reset afterwards just to be certain I cleared any potential issues...but that was my personal choice.

I have just performed the following method successfully. The only thing I did different, was... I didn't install a custom recovery and back up my Jelly Bean...I just started at ...going into factory recovery and factory reset...and followed the rest from there.

I didnt want to trip the counter at all before I performed the rest of the instructions.

To clarify...I was on Stock ATT Jelly Bean that I installed via Kies, and was not rooted at first. I then installed Mr Robinsons Root injected JB Rom via Odin (pc) which....surprisingly, did not wipe any data. Days past and I got the itch to flash lol...so here I am once again...followed the instructions, and you know the rest.

I have booted into recovery several times, and mobile odin used recovery to flash the JB and my counter was never tripped.

Ok, i'm not a noob (at least i don't think so),

I've flashed every which rom before to play with, no problems ever.

Currently i'm on CM10 Nightly, with stock CM10 kernel and last ATT Modem (JB)

Wanted to go and try out the TW official release but need to stay rooted for TB.

I got CWM - cleared cache, cleared data, cleared davlik, formated /system /data /cache /sdcard

Went to download mode, kicked off ODIN

phone reboots and gets stuck at Samsung glowing loader

Tried above with TeamWin recovery - same thing

Tried to dirty flash over CM10 - same thing.

Tried to flash cache/davlik/ etcc with CM10 installed and flash with Odin, same thing.

Tried even all above steps with stock / unrooted JB rom, same thing.

Re-downloaded both stock and rooted roms and tried all of the above steps, same thing.

I can Nandroid back to CM10 no problem and it loads with no issues....

just make sure /sdcard exists i forget. for external sdcard it'd be of=/storage/extSdCard/system.img
