since they can't turn on.. why they can check the warranty is voided? n what's the reason that warranty voided?

agreed.. some samsung worker r good but some might not so can't just based on 1 place. tried other.. should be able to claimed back warranty.

sometime the shop wan money.see an oppurtunity to 'vacuum' the money.that explains why on first try they said its void.for this case dunno why void on first try.

nowadays ppl r damn tricky especially chinese. no offense.. better go samsung HQ ask for help. they mostly will layan de.

So I should take the phone back? The last time I tried it can be forced to download mode. I think I flashed the wrong rom..any ideas? Advices?

what is the problem wit ur phone?

Maybe it's the panel itself then

I rooted it. Then the next day I tried to flash the stock kernel via the KitchenApp CheckRom. Then I could not get the phone to turn on. It's on but the screen turned black. Took off battery etc but cannot work.

if it's the problem of flashing.. and since still can go into download mode.. y don't u just flash the rom again and see? shouldn't send it to the sc at the first place if it's your own flashing problem.. flashing rom really voided the warranty..

restore v odin again..

I am quite new to Android so I wasn't sure. I flashed the Rom using the Kitchen App. Is there a chance to restore using Odin?

try take back n restore via odin
if cannot only then send back to sc

download any rom you want and flash through odin again and see.. no harm trying and if it's work then it'll save u rm750

Not true ...... So far touch wood , I havent claim for my SGS3 yet but a lot of times for SGS2 especially my 1st unit . I went in to claim for warranty at least 3 times , once for the screen , then for the speaker and home buttom . I went with CM7 installed . A simple bootup would have seen it . There are other devices as well which I claim while using custom rom on it .

i think this is depend on the sc, right? i think officially root n flashing custom rom will voided the warranty, so they have the rights to not cover the warranty.

for his case, i think is flashing cause the system problem.. not hardware, so they check and decide not to cover it with the warranty. just my 2 cent

Okay, I call the Samsung centre in 1u to take back my unit. Hopefully they sincerely helped me. Not trying to cheat me.

Restore to Stock ROM using Odin, then use a USB jig to reset the counter.
It should be safe to send to the Samsung Service Center now.

or use USB jig? i heard that u can force it back to Download mode or something like tat? never used it before. no harm trying. search for more info

Any of you staying in PJ? Maybe we can meet up?

try the one near federal highway. they provide better service i assume. i went there on saturday morning at 9am, i was the 2nd customer. the guy asked whether i needed the phone on the same day, i said yes. he then tried to squeeze time to repair my phone and i got it back on the same day at 1pm (they work half day on saturdays).

also i had no prove on my problem as it happens occasionally, but still he fixed it for me on the spot. very impressed with their service and attitude.

head to that SC and try ur luck, i think it should be fine.

P/S: i unrooted my phone and used triangle away to reset the binary counter. however i have a tonne loads of Root apps on my phone they didn't seem to bother though.
