If I root as per this method does this mean that my warranty is void and i won't be able to update via Kies?
Thanks.

Thanks.
Does going back to stock show no sign of rooting, or would i need a USB jig or something to reset a counter? (for warranty purposes)
Thanks again

How to uninstall
This is by no means an extensive guide for unrooting, but if you want to sell or warranty your device, I advise the following procedure:
- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official
Some of these steps may require further info, if you can't figure it out, do some more searching, or ask people who aren't me
Help! What did I do wrong?
1) installed Samsung USB drivers for my SG-I9300.
2) downloaded "Odin3 v1.85.exe" and "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip".
3) unzipped "Odin3 v1.85.exe" CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip into CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.tar
4) exec Odin3 v1.85.exe and selected PDA->CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.tar
5) switched off my phone and booted it into "downloading" mode
6) connected phone to PC
7) checked if "Re-partition" isn't checked.
8) Start!

That's all. It got stuck for 15 minutes. What's wrong?
U should wait as interrupting it isnt such a good idea. Just report back if it isnt completed at all.
Also check if any instance of kies is running as it can b dangerous.
OK, I've interrupted it after 1 hour of doing nothing. It boots normally, it works as before like no commands were sent to phone, nothing was changed by ODIN app.
P.S. I have no Kies running.

You haven't read the instructions.Downloaded CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip onto phone
Any Idea what Im doing wrong please?
Thanks
Download and unzip the CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.tar
As i understand correctly cause of the separate recovery partition we only need one CF-Root now? Not like the SGS2 were every new firmware needed a new CF-Root.
