How do i reset counter IN DOWNLOAD mode??
Thread title is misleading. Root, even when done improperly, will not cause the problem you are having.
To answer your question, you cannot reset the flash counter from download mode. What did you do to make you think you bricked your phone?

If you want to reset your phone back to factory stock with the counter being at zero, Odin back to ICS (root 66) then use Triangle Away (You can find it somewhere in the forums). Afterwards, check for system update so you could update the firmware to JB or you could just Odin Stock JB.

i tried updating jb it didnt work said failed. I am used triangle away and am now trying ota rootkeeper and i temp am unrooted hoping this works. if it doesnt where do i get stock JB? and do you reccomend a rom?
Don't worry about keeping root. Just reflash SuperUser/SuperSU with CWM/TWRP. If you lose your recovery, reflash it with Odin. Don't use TriangleAway until you're done messing around with the phone.
For roms, if you want TW, I would pick FrostyJB or AeonFluxx. I personally don't use TW roms, but if I did, it would be one of those. I like those two because they don't have a thousand unnecessary mods (imo). The developer's taste will invariably be different than mine. For AOSP, CyanogenMod 10.1, my personal favorite. Been using 10-10.1 for months. All available on these forums. But for reference, stock roms can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T999&pcode=TMB&os=1&type=1#firmware or mrRobinson's pre-rooted stock.
I changed my mind. How would I hard reset on my android galaxy s4?
I updated my phone to 4.3 while ago, has lot of issues. So I did the custom rom thing/root and such.
How would I factory reset my phone? Odin doesn't seem to work for me. I can't find reliable 4.3 stock firmware on the internet.
Thanks

What do you mean by factory reset?
It sounds like you want to revert it back to the original state it was in when you bought, which if you've done an update to 4.3 is not a simple factory reset.

Boot your Android to 'Download Mode' (Turn off the device. Then Hold Power, Home, and Volume Down button at once. When you feel vibrate, let go the power button, but keep holding home and volume down button. Then you will get the screen, then select volume up).
Then go to Kies, Under Tools, select the second option (I think it's upgrade, below the emgernecy recovery something).
Then enter your Model Name: (Don't know? Find it by taking off your battery and you will see the information. My model is SGH-M919). Then enter your serial number (same place again). Then follow the steps.
Then it should take you 30 minutes. Then boom, you are done. You are on fresh 4.3.
Ok so I rooted using a safe root method, I have no clockwork mod installed. I only have the stock recovery and the phones boots into that and also boots into download mode. What I did was used a bad app off the market and it set a custom font (with root permissions) as soon as I set it the phone went black and restarted, it booted fine until it got to the boot loader. Now its stuck in a boot loop of the AT&T logo. I have a fellow on Youtube trying to help me out but he is having issues finding a stock rom. I have also used ADB (android debug bridge) and i was gonna "pull system/font" and then push it back onto the phone with the factory default fonts. I cant seem to get it to work. I am out of ideas of what to do, I am new to this so I have never even flashed a rom, im needing someones help.
I did some reading and from what I can tell the custom font replaced my "default fonts" located in (system/fonts) is there a way to get to this file with the phone not booting up? If so how? I have the default fonts, all I need to do is just set the fonts back to default.
The guy from Youtube told me I can flash the "stock firmware" to the phone and it will flash a whole new system making "system/fonts" replaced and back to default. The issue is that we cannot find the stock firmware.
Does anyone know any kind of solution for me? Any way at all to get to the system/apps? Or maybe the stock firmware download? My phones info is below.
The download he did find for me was named "AT&T_I747UCUEMJB.zip"
When I extracted it I should have had .tar.mg5 (I might be wrong on the mg5 part) but I ended up with 3 things. I ended up with system, META-INF and boot.img When looking at the files it seems like everything that needs to be flashed over? It's just not in the wrong format maybe?
Model: SGH-I747
Version: Android 4.3
Root access: Yes (last I knew it was rooted, but I did a factory reset from recovery.)
Clockwork Mod: No (I can flash it though since I got download mode?)
Anyone can help me please? I have been racking my brain for almost 2 weeks now and its driving me insane! lol
Did you upgrade to AT&T stock 4.3 rom using an OTA update?

Click to expand...

I upgraded using OTA directly from the AT&T servers (settings > about phone > check for software upgrade)
Since you have a stock 4.3 ROM on your phone, you cannot simply re-flash the 4..3 ROM because the 4.3 ROM update included a bootloader that installs Knox and prevents loading any ROM older than 4.3.
Rooting the phone while on 4.3 will trip the Knox counter and void any remaining warranty.
You maybe better off flashing Philz Touch Recovery in Odin and install a custom ROM.

I keep downloading and downloading roms and I get the same results, I get folders and a boot.img.
The files I get are:
system
META-INF
boot.img
When opening the system folder I get:
xbin
wallpaper
wakeupdata
vsc
vold
voicebargeindata
vendor
usr
tts
T9DB
media
lib
hdic
framework
fonts
etc
esc
cameradata
bin
app
some others like build.prop, kern_sec_info and more
The META-INF folder contains:
updater-script
update-binary
Then there is a boot.img
What am I doing wrong? I think that I am extracting these files wrong maybe? When downloading it comes in as a .zip file. I use WinRAR to extract .zip files.
This is my exact steps:
Download with Google Chrome
Drag/drop the downloaded .zip from my browser to the desktop
Right Click, Create New Folder, name it "AndroidROM"
Drag/Drop the .zip file into "AndroidROM"
Open the "AndroidROM" folder
Right click on the .zip file
Extract here...
WinRAR extracts the files and I get system, META-INF and boot.img I see nothing of a .tar file or .mg5 (I forget that one always)
What am I doing wrong?
This would be the download I used, I also used others but this is the one I need.

You posted that reply as I was typing up the other one sorry about that lol ok so my KNOX is not tripped because I used a method that does not trip it. I will put the link of how I did that below and it does worked and its still 0x0 I did it myself and this is not what caused me to be bootlooping it was the font.
Ok about your idea of the Philz Touch Recovery and installing a custom ROM, can you explain this more? Like in details of if it works on my variant and my version (4.3 with knox)
As I said this will be my first time doing any of this, im learning as I do this right now so I am very confused at this point and all I want is my phone back. I honestly dont care what OS I get I just want my GS3 back. This was a big mistake trying to make my phone better with root and I just want it back to normal or at least running lol

I don't care what I get, I just want my phone back running and not to see that AT&T logo which is the bootloader lol I think that he wants me to do a stock ROM using Odin.
The guy on Youtube wants me to flash a stock firmware sgh-i747 rom, just the rom no custom at all to it, I think what he is trying to do is get the exact same rom that the OTA update had that way knox and the bootloader isn't gonna affect things? Is that possible? He is not having luck finding the download.
Oh sorry forgot the link in the last post
Here is the youtube video for the root without tripping knox:

What do you recommend me doing? Is there is possible way for me to replace the system/fonts, I used ADB (Android Debug Bridge) but it only shows the phone as "sideload" when plugging my HTC Inspire in it shows the serial number I think? But also that phone is fully on where the GS3 is in stock recovery mode.
All hope is not lost as your phone boots. Remain calm and I'll do what I can to help you.
First of all, boot into download mode: hold volume down, home button, press and hold power button. You will receive a warning screen, press volume up to enter download mode. What does the screen say? I'm asking you to do this to ensure that your knox counter has not been tripped.

Yes I can get into recovery mode (Vol up + home + power) which puts it into stock recovery mode.
I have already tried clearing the cache and a factory reset. What happen was the app I used took the default font and replaced it with a custom font in the system/fonts of the phone. So even with a factory reset its gonna revert back to the default font which is still gonna be the custom font the app did. So I need to get rid of all the fonts I have and replace all the fonts in /system/fonts which I think is what is done with the custom rom?
If you want to flash a custom ROM and your phone has no warranty left, you could try flashing a custom recovery in Odin and flash a custom ROM. I don't think root is required since you're just installing a custom recovery.
I use Philz Touch Recovery which is based on CWM. Once you flash the a custom recovery, you can just boot into recovery mode and flash a custom rom.

Well, if you take it to an AT&T or Walmart store, they may not care that you tripped the counter. If they send it in to Samsung for repair, they may not care either. However, there's always the chance that AT&T/Walmart/Samsung would allow repairing the phone at no charge.

Are you running the latest version of CWM? If you can't boot into your OS, how do you know you are rooted?
Flashing another ROM will remove knox.
Copy a custom rom to a microSD card (do not unzip the ROM which is a single zip file), boot into recovery mode, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe Dalvik, and install the ROM from SDcard1.
