Mobile odin Bro, say good bye to USB. No need USB just download, open file flash like a boss. If got spare money mobile odin pro can retain your root. Anyway with mobile odin u can root again. No complicated methods, open file via mobile odin start flashing. Sit back and relax.

For status if rooted go for wan am xposed to modify status.

BTW, I've just rooted and unrooted successfully with (no) custom binary download using Triangle Away 3.10 last night from Wanamlite back to NA7. Hope you could make it with the latest version of Triangle Away :)
[Galaxy S III General] nainaabd:
I used 3.26 also same the number never change to zero .

There must be something diff just dont know what .

Can you reconfirm my step .

-Original stock rom (ML3) which was upgrade from 4.1.2.using OTA rooted and using phil touch recovery

-Install triangle away 3.26 follow step to reset -choose final step in the app to go to dwnload mode

-download mode-flash stock rom

-All status official except counter number never change

additional trial continue

-root using cf root(odin ) install triangle away -.follow step to reset -download mode -flash stock rom -result same .

*even tried factory reset /wipe cache before flashing stock rom .
[Galaxy S III General] Azmil2307:
That's exactly what I did bro.. the only difference on my side is I'm using NA7. I really wish that I could help but that's the only thing I could tell you.
[Galaxy S III General] nainaabd:
After doing a lot of reading i realized that i updated my 4.3 from 4.1.2 using OTA .There are user claiming shoudnt update using OTA .

Reason is wont be able to reset counter .I believe u didnt update using ota but u used odin and flashed other country firmware before OTA was available in Msia .

I was thinking of flashing back to 4.1.2 using odin just that a bit worried it will screw up my phone (efs /imei& etc)

*Maybe will just use as it is and hope i will never need to sent to samsung for warranty issue though have another 12 mths :silly:

Anyone tried downgrading back using Odin after upgrading using OTA ?if yes it will boost my confidence to give a try too.
[Galaxy S III General] Azmil2307:
Yup, I did flashed the official BTU MK6 4.3 last year..never done any ota. Now using NA7.

From 4.3, I also managed to downgrade to 4.1.2 with BTU MG4, as advised from a Senior Member here at XDA. The MG4 saved me after a week of corrupted efs @ imei when I tried to downgrade to XME MF6 4.1.2 and other 4.1.2

Hello there malaysian..sorry for not searching and reading the whole thread of s3..but can someone teach me one by one on how to root s3 and install any kitkat rom?i am on jb 4.1.2..
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
OK u can try this two options now. Get an updated rom with root or update your rom only root. To download rom which comes with root check out justarchi 'na7 rom currently the latest , or just use chain fire cf-auto root. No joke with cf autoroot only needs 30 seconds or less I recommend the cf auto root the most.
[Galaxy S III General] nainaabd:
Guys since sammobile upgraded and missing the latest 4.3 NA7 i flashed JustArchi_I9300XXUGNA7 i didnt even wipe anything

then i flashed boefla latest beta kernel and guess what ............................

i reset triangle and for the first time it was showing the current status which was counter 10 then it say already reset and if problem

report in xda .everything was first time though using same triangle away version .After afterdownload mode my status is

all official & zero counter

Only the about device -status -device status is showing custom .....its because i am using custom rom .very happy & thank you all.

cusrom made reset work :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] assassin0408:
Is it compatible with jb 4.1.2?if so i will use that cf method.. And then how about custom recovery? I want to flash 4.4 rom so i need the latest cwm right?sorry again, i dont have time to read all..i need to install custom rom in my friend's s3 as soon as possible..if you can pm me it will be highly appreciated.. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
yes it is http://download.chainfire.eu/196/CF-Root/SGS3/CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip?retrieve_file=1

here download it :good::fingers-crossed:

for custom recover get the rom manager by clockworkmod
[Galaxy S III General] assassin0408:
done!so in your opinion, which 4.4 rom is the best?
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
Unfortunately there's no best out there, but the popular one are slim, temasek cm11, neat rom for 4.4. Try them and u will know which suits you best., I'm using stock with boeflla kernel and that's wonderful enough for me or you prefer kitkat based I like slimkat
[Galaxy S III General] assassin0408:
Nice..seems that neat rom is interesting.. I will try that rom first.. Thanks mate..
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
You are welcome!
[Galaxy S III General] Azmil2307:
Glad to hear that :). So the ML3 Rom itself could be the reason why the binary count couldn't be reset to 0. So what are you waiting for, let's try the NA7 official rom hehehe
[Galaxy S III General] aerodown:
Shouldnt be any problem. Just perform factory reset and flash I9300XXEMF6_I9300OLBEMF3_XME (4.1.2) + root with cf root + run triangleaway now should be 0 counter. Flash with odin any official 4.3 like I9300XXUGML3_I9300OLBGML3_XME or I9300XXUGNA7_I9300OJVGNA1_XSG perform factory reset it will still show 0 counter. After using official 4.3 rom if u use any custom recovery or rom than the counter will increase and cant be reset to 0 even with triangleaway. U have to downgrade to 4.1.2 again then redo the step above then it will show 0 counter again. Thats my experience.
[Galaxy S III General] nainaabd:
I m using NA7already but its custom rooted/zipalign/deodexed.By the way if i use official NA7 root using CF auto root will increase counter also right.Even if i flash recovery using mobile odin .anyway at least now i knw i can reset counter if i want to send to samsung for warranty this is important:D
[Galaxy S III General] aerodown:

[Galaxy S III General] Azmil2307:
But bro, according to my own experience, coming from 4.3, if I flash (downgrade) to the I9300XXEMF6_I9300OLBEMF3_XME (4.1.2), the efs folder couldn't be read resulting in imei 0049******/baseband unknown with no coverage. The only 4.1.2 that could read my Imei after downgrade is the official BTU MG4, but the csc will change to KOR.
[Galaxy S III General] nainaabd:
That is why i dont want to downgrade though i already downloaded the rom ealier .i just maintain with this 4.3 and if i ever want to sent samsung for warranty i just reset counter and flash msia 4.3 stock .after all i am going to use rooted+recovery with custom kernel .

I just need the reset counter for warranty purpose if need arise .Tks guys

What modem is most suit Malaysia maxis network? Currently using NA1....
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
I guess that would be mk6 as Malaysia ml3 also using mk6 modem
[Galaxy S III General] wanerza77:
Yeah.. That true. I saw Many people talk about mk6 on Facebook :P.. But u must flash carefully because it will 'bother' ur emei :(.. Make sure u have efs backup ;)

If ur s3 don't have network signal don't feel uneasy or scared.. U must flash the right modem :D
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
:good::good: but not to worry since mk6 is efs2 , only downgrading from efs2 to efs1 will cause imei problem /network issues.

but no harm and always the safest to do the backup :good::fingers-crossed:

Help needed to my sis S3

Hi.. I've few question for all sifus here.. My lil sis s3 out of sudden turn off itself n stuck at Samsung logo (bootloop I guess) n nothing happen after few restart.. N tiz set as it is set never touch anything Rom/kernel/tweak..

So I sudah gatai tangan want to godek2 tiz set as I use Xperia sola only.. Dun hav imei n what so ever backup as mention by forumers..

Long story cut short, read quite much info to start with but prefer ur guidance to shorten my godek2 time.

What shud I do 1st..?? Flash stock ics mg4 o straight away to jb 4.3 with no imei/efs backup?? Which ver for ics/jb??

Root use cfs or nb7 straight away?? Which kernel?? Other that neef to consider since I dun have anything xcept S3 itself??

Sent it to sc is not an option since warranty edy out huhuhuhu..

Tq sifu n more Q will come :D
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
Easy, if u can go download mode then easy. Straight get nb6 pre rooted . Check out justarchi profile. Don't worry about imei which is the efs thingy, network lost is due to efs corruption, this occurs when u downgrade from a higher version to lower.. So not to worry as you are going to a newer version.
[Galaxy S III General] amedeto8:
I think I can get to dload mode n will try tiz weekend.. Nb6 o nb7 with pre rooted??

N if I want to use different kernel, I need to flash dat particular kernel separately??

How about cwm?? Any link for good cwm compatible with stock rom??

Planning to use stock rom+any stable custom kernel (siyah,beolofa,goomax)..

Dun bother my spelling on kernel dev coz very new to S3 dev section hehehhe..
[Galaxy S III General] Nic2215:
I use boeffla kernel very good kernel continuous developing and good support from dev. And the comment on nb6 by many formers are positive u may try that. For recovery i use philz touch, or u can use twrp.
[Galaxy S III General] amedeto8:
Sure will try nb6, boeffla n philz touch.. If u dun mind kindly give me d link for nb6 n philz ;)

Most likely your efs corrupted.

See this thread HERE.

Apart from the steps in that thread, if you have efs backup in .img file, then you can use dd command (my prefered method as it is easier for me,only need terminal to be installed in phone and can even be done from computer).

See this thread HERE

sadly i dnt have any credit card or paypal to buy this cheapest license..:rolleyes:

that the easiest tread that i found to solve this efs problem
[Galaxy S III General] feed3:
When efs corrupted, NO USE in flashing the ROM (no matter custom or stock) from recovery. ROM won't touch your efs at all.

I have never use chimera tool. my efs corrupted/broken for few times and i just use dd command to write the backup to efs partition.

First thing first, do you have a backup of your efs? either it is in .img or .tar.gz?
[Galaxy S III General] timuncina89:
yes, ive try many file modem and a few rom but not work..

i dnt hve any efs backup bcoz i never heard about this before (noobsss)

can i use backup efs .img or .bak that i found in another website??

:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] feed3:
It might help you repair the efs contents but still your imei might not be recovered (the 00499***** imei) thus still your phone cant be use for call etc.
[Galaxy S III General] timuncina89:
yes ive try it..

3 type my imei appears when i try flashing a few type:

a. null/null -> no service

b. 004999xxxxxxxx -> emergency call only

c. 35331xxxxxxxxx (wrong imei from the original imei) -> emergency call only but it detect maxis 2g/maxis 3g at first reboot

now i at 4.1.2 official firmware with c type...

Flashing whatever modem won't repair the corrupted efs. Not even flashing ROM can help.

[Galaxy S III General] feed3:
The symptoms of corrupted efs and modem is different and very obvious.

If your imei is intact but no coverage, then i can guarentee it is your modem issue.

But if the imei is null or the infamous generic number, then it is your efs corrupted. Usually you will have no coverage as well or emergency only.

That's the first step to troubleshoot it; imei number.

Based on all info that fellow gave, i'm more than sure it is efs issue, not modem like your case.
[Galaxy S III General] timuncina89:
yes, im 120% agree with feed3..

i had flash almost 40 times flashing with different modem file, different rom (custom & official), zuluman patch, ariza patch any many more baseband solution but still not working..

my imei also had changed from null, 00499, empty and differnt imei from the original, but still not working...

100% im sure this is efs problem, and the step to solve this problem was very hard, using terminal, adb, coding,:silly::silly:
