Root [International] How to restore to stock OS

[Malevolent123]

Hello

I rooted my galaxy S3 a few months ago, and have since unrooted it, set the counter back to 1 and attempted to find the default OS for my device, but could the only compatible firmware i could find was the Russian version. My model number is GT-I9300, Baseband version(if it matters) is 19300XXEMB5, and it was bought unlocked. Im still pretty new to this stuff as this is my first android phone. Please help, as the headphone jack on the phone has broken and i need to send it back, but i don't think they will repair it if they think I rooted it.

Thanks

Here you go Firmwares | SamMobile just register (it's free) and download the firmware package to your PC. You need to flash via Odin, which you probaly already have installed.

I think the flash counter should be reset to 0 though(?) (Requires root)

yup funky u are right the counter should be 0 otherwise ure warranty is viod. you would need to root and run triangle away to reset the counter.
