[Q] New to Rooting!! i need some answers - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi..xda developers i have an GT-I9300 JellyBean Samsung Galaxy S3 bought just 2 months back ...and i am interested in rooting... i know what rooting gives to access. But I have some general questions.
Q1: I like S Voice and the apps that are provided by samsung like remote controls and pop play etc..will the root firmware have also this applications.
Q2: My os is currently official Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and I heard that samsung is pushing JB4.1.2 to s3. CAN I USE SOFTWARE UPDATE ON MY my phone to download them?
Q3: if once rooted ...can i get back my offcial JB 4.1.1 back to my phone by any means that could be also downloading from the internet and den flashing it.
Q4: rooting voids warranty...but if i am able restore original firmware by flashing...will it still void my warranty the next time I go to service center...
Q5: what does rooting exactly do...other than super user access.
If possible please provide me firmware links of jelly bean 4.1.1.

A1: If samsung rom, yes
A2: No, but there are 4.1.2 Roms so you can do it yourself
A3: Unroot guides
A4: Yes, there is a flash counter inside your phone
A5: The possibility to flash custom software and write acces to all your phone

To Q4,
rooting voids warranty and leaves a flash counter just like ritchie46 answered
But you can use the app,Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and i think that would restore the warranty
Btw, why search for 4.1.1, you cam download stock 4.1.2 rom Sammobile and flash via Odin

I have a related question too.
I understand that root gives more control and i can then use apps like Titanium Backup, Adaway and some great security apps, but I am not quite sure what it means to the OS/formware. I.e. i needed to do a fw update and had to unroot my S3.
I installed a stock rom, rest the counter, etc. But now my S3 is not rooted.
If i re do the root, will i be putting it back to the old fw, or are there specific root for each rom, or does it not matter?
This is a silly question, i know, but i am not a sw guy so i am not quite sure what i am doing to my device, just know how to follow instructions and understand the benefits...
Cheers

Root has nothing to do with firmware. You can just flash any official firmware, and you'll be on stock. Rooting just gives you the root user privileges, and leaves everything else intact. So you'd be on same fw.

Yes you can. Triangle away unroots and reseta flash counter. Full wipe from recovery after flashing official firmware through odin will bring your phone to original state.

[Q] Does rooting require exact same kernal? Galaxy s2

I am new to the android .and bought my first galaxy s2. I will follow the s2 one click root to root my phone. I need to know if I need the same kernal as my device? My original kernal is JPKG5. do I need jpkg5 insecure kernal and then a jpkg5 secure kernal to root my phone? Or can I change my kernal to some other kernal of my choice?
my galaxy s2 gets pretty hot if I play intense games like asphalt or star legends, it even gets hot if I use mobile internet like EDGE (i guess its 2g internet nott sure) and browse the internet. The battery life sucks. I keep wifi, gps off and it last like 7 hours if I use mobile internet. Heard a different kernal might help.
One last question, what is the purpose of titanium backup? Do I get to restore my phones original self back again easily? Like will it unroot itself and return to the original gingerbread rom if I decide to change to cynogenmod? If titanium backup does not do that, then how can I unroot my phone and then get back to my original gingerbread rom?
Thanks alot for your help...

Welcome to Android I am not sure about the kernel. The purpose of TB is that you can backup all your apps and data and if you flash a new custom rom you can use TB to restore all the apps and data. Its a very powerful application. You can always flash the original stock rom downloaded from Intratechs thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. Then you will have an unrooted phone. Beware of the custom counter!!

If you are international S2 (i9100) user use CF-Root instead SOC:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Dont use CF-Root or SOC if you are AT&T user, there is specific threads on how to root AT&T devices.
CF-Root is 1 step only, this means for a non experienced user like you (as it's your first android device) less chance to screw up something.
Follow carefully the instructions.
Be sure Kies installed but NOT running (kill kies process) because kies block odin = semi bricked phone.
Takes about 30 seconds

im a bit confused, all those stock kernals in that link u gave are kernels and rom? Like if I have cynogenmod rom installed in my fone and then flash my phone again using one of those stock kernels/roms, I would be flashing back from cynogenmod to gingerbread 2.3.3 (JPKG5)?
Also what is the custom counter?

sorry for the multi reply post, dont know how to quote 2 messages in one reply...
Cf-root seems like it will limit me to only one kernel, is it a fact? Is it possible for a gs2 user to use any kernel he desires? because I would like to use a better kernel than jpkg5 but stick to the original gingerbread rom 2.3.3. Then mod it to stop loading the so called bloat somehow using an app. Plus I found cf-root to be a little confusing, can u help me understand this? Cf-root will use the kernel inside the phone and leave it intact plus give me root? Or will cf-root change my kernel permanently?
Thanks for all the trouble everyone, if its ok ill ask more questions if I get stuck, but will try my best to figure it out myself first...thanks again...

If you flash one of those ROMs you will flash from cyanogen to your original. The custom counter counts how many times you flash a custom rom / kernel - it can be a problem if you have to send your phone in for repair. Read more about it.

cf-root is an original kernel with root+cwm inserted. No it dosnt lock you to a single kernel, its just the most easy way to root your phone while keeping your stock rom. When you are rooted you then can flash any kernel or custom rom you want.
You only need to pickup the same (ex: kh3, ki4, kf1 etc..) for the root process, this to have full compatibility during root with the stock rom on your phone, but after successfull root you can flash any kernel/rom for the s2

1-root with cf-root for you firmware using Odin.
2-boot into recovery and do a cwm backup or use the cwm app that installs with cf root to do the same.
3-if you want to go back to stock flash the original kernal using Odin and use a download mode jig to reset counter to hide flashing.
4-if you use a custom rom restore backup then do the above step.
You can find plenty of how-to's on any if the above points on this forum or by Googling it.

Ok. To flash the original kernal you will need to get it from the intratech thread. He had them all I think. This will remove the custom kernal and, assuming you are still on stock firmware everything is stock again.
As for the jig, when you flash a non stock kernal, there is a counter which shows when you go into download mode. Samsung put this in to see if you had flashed anything if you return it for warranty. The jig plugs into the phones USB/charging port and clears it so Samsung knows ****. I bought one off eBay for $2 delivered.

[Q] Confused with S2 process / keeping warranty

Hi,
First post in this forum but have been on XDA for a while now (galaxy ace/note). Did look for this before posting. My wife has an S2 and it recently updated (via kies) to ICS. Its the UK (H3G) carrier version. Im not new to rooting/roms/flashing etc as have flashed my old galaxy ACE countless times CM7/9 etc.
I understand the S2 has a custom flash counter which could screw up warranty.
She hates this (H3G) ICS as it has quite a load of bugs. (Freezes lots etc) and I was wondering the following:-
1 - Do you need to root the s2 to flash via ODIN?
2 - Will flashing a stock ROM from sammobile increase the flash counter?
3 - If so will triangle away work to get rid?
She is not keen on the warranty being void but will happily go back to GB if I can do it for her.

You can root using odin, flashing anything will increase your counter and Triangle away does work but it can hard brick you phone at the same time.

Cheers for the quick reply. The first question was do you need root for odin? is Triangle away that risky?
A. No.
B. No.
C. No need if not rooted as flashing official firmware package will not increase the counter. An insecure kernel will.
Just follow Intratech's official firmware thread. Has all the instructions you need.

Thanks for the answer. So Ill just grab the H3G 2.3.3 from sammobile and flash it. Shell be very happy!
If you want to remove the triangle and reset the counter you can use a jig usb and after flashing the old bootloader

Flashing the stock Rom = No Triangle
I flashed the leaked version of ICS using ODIN and didn't get the flash count triangle, It wasn't until I flashed the edited stock kernel that allows root (without effecting the rest of the phone) That I did.
But using Triangle away got rid of it and I feel the major warning message may be a little overkill as it only took a second and it doesn't even reboot the phone.

Flashing stock firmware via Odin

Hello everyone,
For unrooting purposes If I flash a stock firmware 4.0.3 via Odin then will the flash counter increase by one? I have reset it to zero using triangle away app already and my device is rooted and on stock with that super brick bug. Also that I can flash any of the stock firmware like LPQ as long as it is developed for I9100 right? Or there any sort of regional restriction?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-I9100
ask moderator to move your Question to Q&A section bro, here is development section
You can always reset your binary counter with triangle away or USB jig.
If you are on stock firmware, you are good, because it is samusng's original.
4.0.3 keeps the brick bug away.
Firmwares are separeted by branded & unbranded, they all work on any I9100 devices. Modems, on the other hand, my not work in your country / region. You'll have to flash another one in order to get your network to work.
I am trying to find the answer to the OP.
My S2 has just been replaced after a long struggle with the supplier & Samsung so I have decided not to ever do any custom ROM flashing again.
The above replies didn't really answer the simple question: Does flashing an official ROM like the new 4.1.2 JB with Odin increase the custom rom counter on the phone.
I know this can be reset but it was trying to do that before that bricked my phone and why it had to go back for service. I don't want to do that again but if I know the custom ROM counter will not go up I'm happy to flash official JB with Odin.
My phone is CYV (Cyprus) so likely to be one of the last places to get JB via OTA or Kies.
Thanks

Custom couter stay at zero, but bootloader will by unlocked and "smart" guys in samsung service will know about flash.
@grisoxxl: I did not quite get you. You mean to say that the bootloader once unlocked remains unlocked even If you flash a stock firmware?
And one more thing. When do I need to backup that efs folder? Know about HC ktool?

Stock 4.3 ????>>>>> not a Samsung firmware .

>>>>Apps work on custom firmware unless you are trying to run Samsung apps on non Samsung based custom roms .
Start at the beginning what model phone do you have as per the label under the battery .
If I9300 then remove ext sd card and flash a proper Samsung stock rom through Odin . You should then be able to flash Philz recovery .
Boot to recovery mounts and storage format sd card system data cache and preload .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin see faqs and guides for the return to stock for warranty post
jj you didnt read it correctly.
he first rooted and installed 4.3 and wanted to go back to stock.
he flashed stock but apps still arent working properly.

If I9300 then remove ext sd card and flash a proper Samsung stock rom through Odin . You should then be able to flash Philz recovery .
Boot to recovery mounts and storage format sd card system data cache and preload .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin see faqs and guides for the return to stock for warranty post

There are a number of apps that will not work on rooted phones banking apps usually .
See the how to use Barclays Bank app post for clues to getting these apps to work on rooted phones .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823649&highlight=barclays
you just need to reset the Rom counter to 0 and make it official
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847
it might help , if you didn't get any part of it just ask
PS: just to make sure get into download mode and see what does it says in the upper left corner ?
