No because that method takes the stock Odin .tar injects super user and the super user binaries, because so little is change it still has the Samsung official binaries. Meaning it won't trip the flash counter

I am looking for the VRALG1 stock bloated rom that you flash in ODIN. i just unrooted and could only find the vrafl2 rom.
could i root again with vrafl2 and then flash recovery and go to a vlgr1 custom rom and intsall kernel and modem in odin?
Thanks
paul
I saw that file and tried forever to get it working. Why when i click "software update" "check new". it says NO New Update?
Also is vrafl2 with vrlg1 boot and vrlg1 modem the same as vrlg1 all togethor?
I'm using this stock bloated ROM but already rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29921524&postcount=94
The link is now fixed...invisiblek said it was a bad upload.
I got a stock img from galaxys3root.com :thumbup:

I searched that site and found nothing. Also I see nothing by invisible that is a stock unmodified Odin file
Edit: I found it in the "stock rom" thread, even though the title only says LF2.

I'm glad u found it. On galaxys3root.com you can follow the instructions to UN root and get the stock img their.
EDIT: sorry maybe I'm mistaken and that's only got the vralf2file.

No problem. There's no way unless you flash a custom ROM that's as closed to stock as possible.
Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 4G LTE
^ agreed! flash a custom stock rom in recovery such as beans or synergy...thats as close as you will get to stock without using odin.
Took me awhile to figure this out.
And what I found out is you have to flash one of the stock roms before the kernel or it won't work. You have to be unlocked of course. Flash any Rom in cwm then after it installs and your still in recovery flash the stock kernel. Here's a link to the kernel

So I'm having issues with data dropping on my phone. I've decided its time to take it to the store. I'm rooted with a Rom on here. What do I need to do to check the counter or whatever it is and restore to stock so they don't know I rooted. Thanks

Odin back to stock.. Search the forum
I still have no clue how to check the flash counter
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Unless you flashed custom software with ODIN your counter should be 0. However, search for triangle away.

Are you sure the data drops are phone related and not ROM related?

I had the issue before I flashed this Rom. I was hoping the Rom would fix it lol.
And I first rooted with Odin not sure if that changes the counter or not besides that I've used recovery to flash

What rom are you running? I had really bad data drops on CM10. I'd try one of the touch wiz roms if you already haven't and possibly try a new modem. Modems are better for different people so there's not really one "best" modem for anyone.

Enter download mode. Power off hold vol down home and power, press vol up when its ask you to continue. Read the small text
Your rom may also have a reboot option to reboot into download mode

I'm wondering if I did something wrong. I tried to Odin back to stock to fix an issue with the phone. After I Odin it said passed but when I looked at my phone it had all my apps setting and what not including wallpaper, but my radio was back to stock so was my recovery.
Did I do something wrong or is this normal

Just go into stock recovery and wipe the data

Will it hurt anything if I don't? I'm not sending it out
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No it won't hurt. It just doesn't wipe data that's all. Your baseband and firmware versions should be changed as well as the stock recovery should be there as well.

If you do a factory reset, it will erase everything from the internal sd storage.

Flash count keeps track of how many times custom firmware is flashed to the phone using odin. Basicalky flashing a custom recovery or kernel in odin. You can check your counter in download mode. You can reset the counter using an app called triangle away in the market.

Hey guys. I just rooted my phone and I installed TWRP and I went to recovery and it said "Unauthorized System" or something like that. I realized that I didn't unlock the bootloader. But how do I put the stock recovery on my phone?

If on 4.3 update you can't at this time. Your bricked. If on 4.1.2 need to Odin the 4.1.2 tar and start over.

Yea. No way to fix until there is an Odin image or some one makes an Odin flashable stock recovery image.

Yea. Lucky you didn't try to downgrade back or unlock. Would have full brick. At least have a phone for now. You are better off than a lot of them on here.
