dxlp6 is the firmware code for malaysia ICS.
dzkl3 is GB for malaysia. yup each code represent different firmware. got so many others from different countries also.. you are right about odin. just put file in pda. and start. dont mess with anything else. its veryyyyyyyyyyyy dangerous hehe |

flash counter is something that samsung check to see if you have flashed custom kernels. in the days of gingerbread, we cna use a usb jig to reset. for the time being for ics, a jig is not able to reset the counter.
so best to follow method 2+ advance method 2 if you are still under warranty |

as long as odin can detect your phone and ur phone can go into usb mode to your pc. its fine. don need to have kies.
warranty ,yeah 1 year as i know. if really need to send phone for warranty claim, you can always flashback GB firmware and use usb jig reset the flash counter. only when phone cant boot up at all, is when the problem comes. but if phone cant boot up at all, means samsung service center also cant check the counter. soooo in the end it depends. |

QUOTE(Wira_lover @ Jul 4 2012, 11:24 AM) actually i dont understand your issue. ClockWorkMod kernel is required in order to be rooted. only then you can flash CM9. without a rooted kernel you cnat flash cm9 oh I thought ClockWorkMod kernel cannot use if using CyanogenMod.I'm not quite understand actually. Mind to explain? I'm refer to this btw. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934 |

simple bro.
you need a rooted kernel (CWM) so you can flash once you gwet root access you can flash...then you can have cwm recovery. once you have cwm recovery. you can flash cm9 simple as that. |

So might rooting help? How do I un-root if I needed to, for warranty claims well, once you get rooted you can get a quick gps fix done or flash a custom rom. that might help you out. to un-root just flash a stock ICS rom back to the phone and thats it. provided you follow advance method 2. if you have increased your binary flash counter, than you will need a usb jig and the process is slightly more tedious. so best to follow advance method 2 word for word. and things wont go wrong This post has been edited by Wira_lover: Jul 6 2012, 04:27 PM |

QUOTE(Wira_lover @ Jul 4 2012, 05:43 PM) CWM is not kernel FYI..it's a modded recovery mode. CWM is not rooted as well. both are separated. some CWM comes along with root or vice versa.. u can flash a custom ROM without root at all, u just need a recovery mode. although most custom ROM requires root or comes with root. basically there are three different things here. ROOT, RECOVERY, ROM KERNEL is different. even thou i see u r good at flashing, but it doesn't seem that u understand the difference. Hope this clears your confusion.
