Like the title says.. I would like to view my flash counter. I am running rooted stock that shouldn't have triggered the counter, but I would still like to check.
I also got a yellow triangle once when flashing a radio.
Thanks
Go to download mode and check....power+volume down while your phone is off.

Triangle away app will tell you flash count also with go into Odin mode....but U can't get triangle by flashing a radio, it's only from flashing a non stock kernel in Odin only....mobile Odin or recovery won't trigger triangle

The flash counter only changes when you ODIN something. Anything happening in recovery doesnt change the flash counter. And ive used Triangle Away and it successfully resets it to zero regardless how many times youve ODIN something.

will flashing the rom void my warranty?
something like flash count in there or something?

You can revert to official to claim warranty using Triangle Away, then flash official ROM. Then everything will be reset to official.
To use Triangle Away your phone must be rooted.
Flashing a Stock ROM using Odin will not void your warranty.
Flashing a custom recovery and then flashing a custom ROM will increase your binary counter and hence void your warranty.
If you are unaware of the terminologies that I used, please use Google to understand them.

For usimlng triangle away you must be rooted.
Flashing official firmware will make your device official and bin counter will be 0

In order to claim back your warranty. First run Triangle Away to reset the bin counter on your rooted ROM. Then flash Official ROM through ODIN. Remember after flashing Official ROM, go into recovery mode to reset to factory settings. Then your device will become Official again.

Remember after using triangle away.. Never tried to go Cwm recovery it will increase bin counter.. So flash directly through odin after use of triangle away....

Without using triangle away can't I flash stock firmware through odin?

Yes you may flash the stock ROM even without using Triangle Away, but you binary counter will be greater than zero. To reset it back to zero, u need to use triangle away just like rejocie001 said before you flash stock ROM for warranty claims.

Hello
Hopefully this is quite simple.
I have just unrooted my N7105. I was already running stock 4.1.1. and went into SuperSU and asked it to unroot. All went fine.
I ran Triangle Away before doing this. However it still says "Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts)". And my device still says modified.
Question is: Now I've unrooted, would I have to re-root to get rid of the modified status and custom binary download count?
If so once I've done this, how would I get rid of the modified status as Triangle Away didn't seem to work?
Also how do I get rid of TWRP and set it back to stock recovery?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Where you find counter 1? If on triangle away application then don't count it. Just reboot to download mode (Vol Down +Home +power) and check flash counter.

Thanks for the reply
I've now sorted the triangle away problem. But now it says the following in download mode:
Odin Mode
Product Name: GT-N7105
Custom Binary Download: No
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
How would I change the System status from custom? My device still says modified under settings as well so need this changing too.
Also when attempting to update OTA to 4.1.2, the "Checking for Updates" box keeps on rolling.
Thanks again!
Your flash counter is normal 0
Just factory reset and it will be normal.

Thanks but that didn't seem to work either.
So connected to kies on my laptop and it prompted me to update to 4.1.2 which I did. Status now say normal.
Case closed
Thanks alot for your help though. Much appreciated.
So i want to root my note 2 but do i have to flash the Triangleaway right away or later on when i want go back to stock i can do it then ?
Triangle away is the app to reset the flash counter in samsung devices.no need to use triangle away for rooting.it will just reset the number of times you flashed the firmware to zero.

Yep.but if you want warranty you should reset the flash counter before going to service centre.that's how they see how many times you flashed firmware.

thanks a lot, and btw how do you install the twrp recovery ,?
Download goo from the market and install from menu button.
FYI..resetting counter doesnt revert your rooted phone back to stock. After running triangle away you still need to unroot using SuperSu then factory reset n stock recovery. If you skip unroot and factory reset steps it will show 0 count but status will show customized when you go to download mode.
