Hello, has anyone tried to use the USB Jig to reset the bin counter on 4.1.2 ?
My display stopped working after some time and i need to give it for warrant.
What i've read in other threads is that the usb jig won't work on JB.
Do you think that the counter would reset if i would install a custom rom like CM10 or just use the bootloader, use the jig to reset it and then just install the samsung stock 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile?

There is an app called triangle away
It resets your binary counter. But if u boot into custom recovery again the counter will increase again. So use this app right before you flash stock via Odin.

The problem is that my screen is not working and i cant see what i'm doing. Dev mode is not enable so i could do it over the pc.
I'm kinda out of options. I dont know if they will notice the counter if the gpu is broken, cause the screen is in tact.
Well if you have lost your display completely then it's going to be a problem. Im still confused. You lost your Display due to Software issue or Hardware?
If software try flashing firmware. If hardware like lcd is dead.. try connecting via hdmi, wlan, samsung play etc if ONLY our phone supports it.

Its a HW fault. Installed stock etc, nothing helped. the screen turns only sometimes on. Even while booting its off. You think HDMI will show my screen on my pc or tv so i can try to use triangle away?
Anyone able to guide me how to enable adb while in recovery mode so i have access to my screen over the PC. I've found a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238286
but it doesn't help me much out.
Solved
So, i've managed to use the ADB while in recovery and enable it in the settings files when the phone is booted. After that i've managed to install triangle away and reset the bin counter to 0. Dropped the stock and now going for my warranty
Took me some time to do that. Had a lot to read, but it was worth it.
Well done, good to know that adb can help in such cases

According to this, it does http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23951568&postcount=15
But, there are also others who say from experience of sending their device with a different country's official Rom, that it doesn't.
Depends on one's luck?

It should not void it cause its original samsung firmware, but i'd suggest to get back to the stock of your country.
Just to add that i got a brand new phone after a few days. They did not tell what got broken tho.....

Hey guys I've been searching google.com and xda forums for the last 3 hours trying to find a way to unroot my phone so I can bring it in for service. My phone's speaker broke and I get no sound so I have to bring it into the store. What would you guys suggest to do? I don't want to use Odin cause it's not recognizing my phone and I don't want to trip the counter using the .tar Any help please!
Got to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
Follow all instructions exctly and your phone will be 100 percent stock no root
Well first thank you for your reply. Ive been trying this method but I can't get Odin to detect my phone in download mode. It detects it when the phone is booted. I've reinstalled drivers and rebooted computer nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Did you flash cwm? If not and all you want to do is unroot that's simple..install a root file explorer and delete superuser.apk. now they can't tell you rooted the phone.

if its just a speaker, they most likely will just replace the speaker.
Make sure you backup anything you dont want to loose, they may wipe the phone ,
I got a laptop back one time, that just needed a new keyboard, they wiped the damn thing, retards. ( this was way back before i was smart enough to do all that myself lol )

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Unless you flashed custom software with ODIN your counter should be 0. However, search for triangle away.

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.

-having errors rooting my device.
-the "android is upgrading performance" not exactly the word but this appear everytime the device turned on.
but after I wipe data/factory reset in CWM, everything works perfectly!
As of now I'm not encountering the random restart (from some apps) that happened to me from my last official firmware.

During reinstall rom from mobile odin previously you should only select everrot option and do not inject mobile odin, that's why mobile odin became sysytem aps
Finally it will be easier if you can find computer and flash trough odin pc
