All flashing a ROM does is wipe /system and replace it; its the same as writing files to a flash drive and then adding more. It doesn't have a limit.

As long as you have a way to Unbrick your phone in case you screw up, There is no limit.
Nope you can go on an on :thumbup:

True with the above comments but I do believe your phone has a "trip counter" which tells Samsung how many times your device was flashed. This counter will void your warranty if you're ever in need of sending your device in for repair. There is an app called "triangleaway" that you can install to reset the counter

This is S/W problem i feel, To Unroot flash Stock firmware of your country and format Internal memory before giving it to Samsung Service Center.
no need to format internal SD, just flash your FW and do a factory reset.

When you flash the stock ROM you'll also get the stock kernel by default.

Hi!
I have a GT-B5512 Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos and i just flashed it with Odin and now want to send it in to Samsung. Will they be able to tell i have rooted my phone before? Thanks.
I'm pretty sure they'll see it if you send it in rooted - just un-root it for now and redo it when it comes back

U r right when u flash through odin ur root will go..but the custom bin counter will show 1 so make it 0 by using galaxy tool box app..otherwise ur warranty will not b there..

God damn it. I just did the entire process and yes it shows 0 on custom binary count now. But I didnt check if it showed 1 before clearing. So it wasnt that much fun. But probably it was 1 before, right?
Anyway. Thank you VERY MUCH. I wouldnt want to loose the chance for a brand new phone because of a stupid number saved somewhere deep in the jungle of my phone memory.
What I liked very much that i had to root my phone again in order to be able to disguise the fact it is rooted. Its like committing a crime to conceal a crime. Very criminal!
Anyway. What do I do now? Do I have to flash through Odin again to get rid of the root? Because it is still rooted now, right?
u just flash the unroot.zip using following link it works for b5512..no need to flash through odin if u flash through odin then ur custom bin counter will change again.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25140479

OMG that message I got 30 minutes too late. I just flashed with Odin again. But I thought flashing a original Samsung stock Rom is perfectly legal. Isnt it? Also they can figure out easily that I flashed a ROM because the phone is from Greece and came with a Greek keyboard and a greek ROM. I had to flash a European ROM in order to be able to write in normal letters on the keyboard. I dont even have the original ROM any more and its not on the Internet either. So...
Don't you think its fine if I just send it in like it is now? Unrooted with a original Samsung stock ROM?
thanks! i hit the thanks button as well

thanks but not on the list. I think the name of the greek ROM ends with XXKL8. I will call in at Samsung as soon as its business hours and ask them again about it. But I know a Polish guy who asked Polish Samsung about the same thing and he got the answer that flashing a original Samsung ROM does NOT void the warranty.
just do the unrooting process.above...then there you go ...your phone is not rooted now..
i tried to install a custom rom (cm-10.1-20130527-NIGHTLY-p5100.zip to be exact) it stuck.......it rebooted on its own ond now all i see is the

Yes you can i think that you can just copy files and move it from internal memory to external SD card you just have to find the game files. Or i think you can use program like App2SD

i'll take it as, "which is the best custom rom out there for my phone"
well, it depends, somebody don't need/like their vibration, they would choose CM10.1, which has no vibration and NFC. Both are not working for now. (for some baseband, calling and mobile network don't work)
if you need the vibration and NFC deadly, but you still want your "galaxy nexus-like" user-interface, then Babba ROM would be your choice, but the difference between babba rom and stock rom isn't too big, just aosp launcher and modded status bar, android 4.2 gallery and android 4.2 camera. others are just stock (no offence here, op)
PAC-man isn't ready yet, RIL isnt workin which is a great problem
pandorium needs the stock ROM of XXAMD1 (or something else, can't remember), you need this XXAMD1 (or another one), then install cwm, then flash, if you don't flash the required stock rom first, you would face issues. it's a nice rom but its too complicated and time consuming for me to go back to stock and get cwm again and flash this rom.
so: cm10.1 or Babba rom would be great
for stock rom download:
go to sammobile.com and search for your phone and your corresponding country's firmware.
Edit: just in case you don't know, cause you seem to be new to rooting and flashing.. custom rom can only be flashed with clockworkmod recovery, stock rom can only flashed with odin! (unless otherwise specified)
click the thanks button if i helped :good: :good:
Thank you for the detailed reply.
You guessed it right i'm absolutely new to Andriod. I was an Apple boy before and androids are totally other part of world if know what I mean. As I have the NON P version NFC is not my thing. And I read CM 10.1 is for the P version only.
I'm attaching my phone details.
Check the baseband, firmware etc. What would you suggest now?
Also keep in mind I need to root just for the sake of transferring apps to sd card.
After root will I be able to update my phone if Samsung releases a new update like android 4.2.2 ?
And yes I did thank you !

I don't know for sure but a while back, I did come across several threads/posts about this on other Samsung devices, so I'm inclined to believe that yes, flashing official Roms of other countries/regions does void your warranty. You'd have to go back to stock via KIES
