Restoring for warranty*help asap*

[Ciberious42]

Ok, I have installed custom roms on my phone recently and they all worked fine. Just two days ago I dropped my phone and cracked the screen... So I need to return to stock firmware and what not to return it of course. So I have downloaded "Triangle Away"... This is where I need help... Triangle Away sort of scares me with the warning and all so I want to make sure of what I'm doing and seeking advice. I now have the stock firmware on my phone, but I have not done anything with Triangle Away.

Here's what I've done.

1. Downloaded newest version of Odin.

2. Downloaded the AT&T Firmware from -> sammobile
- Extracted files - Loaded file onto Odin

3. Went into "Download Mode" and installed the firmware.

4. Passed and booted up and was a %100 success.

Now... my device status no longer says modified, it does indeed say normal... Does this mean I can return it for warranty now or is there more to this then what I'm seeing?

If it says Normal, official and a flash count of 0 you're good to go. You lose root when you Odin back to stock (not root injected) you need root to use Triangle Away anyway.

Make sure your superuser apps (superuser, supersu) are uninstalled and remove any programs that require root such as Titanium Backup.

Triangle away has that big scary warning because chainfire isn't responsible if it Bork's your phone (especially considering it doesn't work on every model) I've used it a bunch of times and had zero issues.

Same. I've used it many times with no issues. I think its more or less a disclaimer to cover his butt and to scare off people who have absolutely no clue what they're doing.

Best way to be sure is to boot into download mode (power+home+volume down) and see what it says there. As stated above, make sure the counter says 0.

If it says anything other than 0, you will have to root your device again, then use triangle away, then flash back to stock via Odin. Keep in mind when I used triangle away, if I rebooted the phone after I used it my counter would read 1 upon reboot. Not sure if that's normal or not, but I ended up running triangle away, turned phone off, booted into download mode, and flashed back to stock with no problems.

Hope that helps

The paid version auto clears on reboot. Because of the custom ROM loading after each reboot the counter always goes to 1.

I think the warning is mainly for those who don't have phones compatible with the triangle away app. I've used it a few times so far and haven't had an issue. It takes about 5 seconds and you're done!
