[SGS3-R530M] Return to stock & reset your flash counter

Hay shabby. sorry to bother but im missing something according to the walk through for the flash reset. flash this zip in custom recovery before you odin? I dont get it? lol.. Im using twrp. help me out please? thanks man. Love your work..
 
ok. i think i understand. Flash counter reset on twrp. Right? then flash the new R530MVQALJ3.tar in Odin v3.04 then all should be back to normal like stock with 0 count? Is that correct? Sorry just learning from the best rather than some know it all who try to steal your reputation and work...
 
Thanks a Million Shabby. Man your the guru and those who work with you are well respected by me. Cheers to your hard work and efforts for us all.
 
hello shabby, i need some help
i tried flashing your new aokp rom with the 4.2 gapps and i did, and factory reset and cleared cache and dalvik and everything but for some reason after the boot screen reached the samsung galaxy sIII part, it just stopped and turned black and nothing happend, so after that i decided to go bak to stock by using the method here and odin:

clicked pda, added the stock img tar file and flashed, and ended up with no luck, same but this time the samsung galaxy sIII screen just froze and stayed that way and never changed so do you recommend that i do this method or do you have something else in mind, my twrp recovery still works but i cant boot up the phone and my touchwiz backup is on pc, any other details needed just ask but please i need help my phone doesnt even boot up.

oh dear i had no idea the newest aokp wouldnt boot. you can use this tar but it will wipe the entire device. why not wipe system and everything and reinstall old gapps/aokp?
 
ok thanks soooo much, that really did the trick, but did this also take away my twrp recovery as well? because i have a backup on my pc.
oo and no worries, its good that im messing up a little, its good experience lol, we learn from our mistakes, i dont mind it.

edit: it did take away the twrp recovery, but i just re-rooted and got it back.
 
An early easter egg has been hidden lets see if they can find it "whistles" b(-_-)d :D what u think shab?
