Hey guys, I was just wondering, I am trying to reset my flash counter back to 0 so that you cannot tell that modified anything on the phone.
I am stock rom right now, the only thing that I have done is rooted the phone, but I want to UNROOT and RESET THE COUNTER
Please advise how to do so because I have tried using the UnRoot function in SuperSU but looks like that was no luck for some reason and I also tried Triangle Away and it went through the entire thing, restarted, i pressed volume up, and it did what it needed to do but I was still "Modified" under Device Status.
Please help
after using triangle away you need to go to settings and than restore the phone to factory and it will be fixed
do you happen to know how to go about resetting to complete stock as if i just took it out of the box? I want to erase everything completely and start fresh from scratch. Please let me know because i have tried doing the reset through setting, i have tried doing factory reset through (vol + home + power) but when it comes back to the homescreen after all the prompts, i still have an app installed that i set as a system app rather than user app, but i have not corected that, but also it feels like its still rooted and still have supersu installed as well....any ideas?
oh yeah any changes you made when you were rooted they stay, you have to use odin to flash the stock samsung rom back in the phone
do you happen to have instructions and where to get the stock samsung image?

I guest you ready figure out. Anyway this is the step I did test by myself to see if it work but i test when I'm on custom rom.
1, flash stock image.
2. Reroot by Chainfire ( because triangle away need root to reset counter)
3. Triangle away
4. SU / setting / full unroot
Done . Hope it's help

Rooted my new Note 2 using the great toolkit simply to run Titanium backup as moving from an old phone.
Now when i go to the software updates i get the 'Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available' message.
I did have the insecure bootloader but have since flashed on the secure bootloader.
Looking around, i know i can triangle away and odin a stock rom but then i obviously lose all my apps and data again.
Does anybody know a way to keep my root and apps but still be able to do ota updates ?
1) Using Triangle Away and/or flashing ROM via PC Odin doesn't clear your apps and their settings, so if you will use same ROM as you have rooted now, all your apps should work
2) Dont panic and wait to update with something usefull for you, before reflash.
Does anybody know a way to keep my root and apps but still be able to do ota updates ?

I have the same problem, but I only need to know If there's some way to re-activate OTA having the Note II rooted.

I have the same problem, But I never rooted my phone ever!
Have you actually tried triangle away? I use it but even then my device state still displays modified
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yes. Me too.I use triangle away and install stock rom and wipe data and factory reset but system status in bootlader(Vol down + Home + power) still custom(counter 0,current binary samsung official) and menu setting -- About device -- status -- device status Modified.
I search triangle away (xda-developers).they answer
1.- On my SGS3/Note2/etc, Download Mode says my System is modified, and Triangle Away does not reset it
Triangle Away attempt to reset this status and block it from coming back, but it depends on the firmware. It works on the ALE8 firmware, try flashing that if you absolutely must reset this value.
Where is ALE8 Firmware (Full stock rom) for Note2 ? I can't find it?:crying:
2.- On the SGS3/Note2/etc, System->Settings->About device->Status still shows "Modified"
This is outside the scope of Triangle Away. The "system" status is not even always resettable in the bootloader. If you are going for warrenty, you need to also reflash a full stock firmware and wipe your device. If they boot up your device and find root apps, you're not going to get any warranty anyway. If you do such a full stock reflash and wipe, the "Modified" value will go away.
I try reflash Full stock firmware by download from sammobile.com and wipe but Modified still shows.:crying:
hi there...
1) make a titanium backup of user apps.
2)locate the backup files storage from a file explorer.
3) transfer it to a computer.
4)flash the latest firnaware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
5)install titanium backup
6)restore apps
I have root as well, only root, via CF-auto-root. I have no triangle, but in device status it does say modified. I tried checking for OTA, but it gives the same message.
Guess with every update I'll flash a new stock rom, kinda sad though.
That's the price for rooting the device.
As usual you go for custom rom thereafter,
Otherwise u unroot device.
I get the same message, HOWEVER, I haven't applied root out anything.
All I have done is applied 2 OTA updated in a row that required a reboot each time.
After the second one, I pressed "Check for updates" and I get this message.
What gives?

:highfive: Thanks! I was about to flip a table over here. It works. I wonder what the issue is.
Fixed it
I fixed in the end by:
1) Made a backup with titanium of my apps and data
2) Rebooted using triangle away to reset counter
3) Used mobile odin to take a stock rom and root on the fly whilst also wiping data and cache (awesome)
4) Restored my apps and data again
no more message and still rooted

do i have to use triangle away before odin? isnt flashing it through odin right after backup would still be ok (well, i'm going to use odin for PC) ?
I've searched and tried different methods to unroot and set the custom counter to 0 (ZERO) (using Triangle Away) and nothing seems to work 100%. I've easily spent 5 hours mucking with this. Basically, I want to get my phone back to stock state so T-MO OTA updates will work again.
I always end up with a custom counter of 1 because as soon as I boot to the system, the firmware sees that SuperSU is installed (I guess) and the counter goes to 1. I've only rooted my phone and not installed a custom rom. I've used the toolkit and the CF-root-only method to root my phone. I've done SuperSU / Settings / Unroot ... but, it's too late by this time (custom counter is 1).
The latest and closest attempts to unroot and zero counter have been: Use CF root (w/stock recovery installed) and use Triangle Away. If I immediately go into the download manager after Triangle Away boot, the counter is 0 and phone is Samsung Official... all is well. If I reboot to system, as soon as the Samsung logo appears the counter is back to 1 (I know this because I immediately pulled the battery and went back to download manager).
So, whats the trick to get unrooted and custom counter to 0 (zero)? Do I have to reflash the stock rom and wipe cache/data or something?

Normally you use both Triangle Away in conjunction with Stock ROM AND Stock Recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Since TriangleAway needs root use ExynosAbuse option to give you root access. That after of course stock ROM and kernel. At the end TriangleAway and uninstall it and maybe also Full unroot in SuperSu if you don't need it anymore.

Do a full wipe. Odin root66 by mrRobinson to return to stock recovery with rooted stock ROM. Run triangle away to clear flash counter. Do another full wipe. Run SuperSu and permanently unroot. Back to stock, no counter trip, unrooted.

I may have to do this, I'm on the stock ROM, only installed clockwork through Odin and then flashed the root zip. I'd want to be able to install the OTA update without having to wipe the phone, I'd hate to install all my apps again and then still have to customize all the settings. Is there a way to install the stock recovery, unroot, and be able to receive the OTA update without any wiping? Help would be greatly appreciated to get this done.

My *guess* is you might be able to do that.
The following is not vetted. It seems like it should work but I have not tested it.
Before you do anything nandroid and Titanium (TiBu) backup your phone. If you are running SuperSu have it forget the apps that have been granted root access. Unroot using the SuperSu command.
Odin the mrRobinson root66 UVALJ1 to the device, this will return the bootloader to stock. It will also give you root that the Device status won't notice (I don't know if this is completely necessary but it makes sense to me). Install Triangle Away (available from Play Store as a paid app or free from XDA if you search for ChainFire's threads). Run Triangle Away. This should reset the counter. When the device reboots go into SuperSu and have it forget the apps that have root permissions. Check device status, if it is normal you are set. If not, reboot the phone. Check the Device status again. If it is still modified you may need to wait a while. If all else fails you factory reset and restore your TiBu. Permanently unroot via SuperSu.
My wife's S3 flipped to modified after a week and a half on root66. The only root function I had it do was a TiBu restore on 5 apps that she wanted to retain data from her old phone. To get it back I had SuperSu forget the root apps then reboot. I don't remember how long we waited for it to go from modified to normal. It did flip back without a factory reset. The factory reset is tried and true however.

What exactly is meant my "Do a full wipe." ? I want to make sure I don't wipe more than I need to or that I, in fact, do enough.
Factory reset.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
using the stock rooted ROM posted over at the development forum we can upgrade without losing root or any data/apps. Really simple, only the cache and davlik cache need to be cleared. Now I'll just wait for the 'all apps multiwindow" mod.
I rooted using super su and I just used kies to upgrade the firmware. All settings are saved, git multi window, but root is lost.
Does anyone know if I can just root again with the same method?

yes, it's there, but aimed at those with the deodexed version of the update. I installed the odexed version to make sure I'd retain all my apps and data. I'm waiting for someone to confirm a way to use that mod without having to do a complete wipe.

Af far as i remember it this warning msg always been there. But if you have some mode/framwork/recovery installed and that may have option to reboot to download with power menu/toggle etc and using that short cut to reboot device to download mode will cut off warning screen, otherwise when you use three button combo to reboot to download mode, you will find warning screen always there.
Yes you can odin to update firmware, You can use mobile odin too to keep root intact, but again this won't update bootloader.

Because i really got crazy with the firmware LL7,....really make my battery drain faster. So i want flashing with new stok rom.
My prefered method of update is
-Backup data with titanium
-Flash latest ROM with Odin
-Wipe cache and data
-Reroot
-Use triangle away to reset counter
-Use titanium scenario 'Restore Missing application with data'

Dr.Ketan......once again, thanks so much for the great methode, and i will follow it, and update it. :good:
One question again Dr.Ketan.....when i check in download mode ;
- binary counter : ( 1 )
- current binary : custom
- system status : custom
And b4 i already use TA to reset binary counter, but now i check it, still not gone,.
What must i do it? I going to flashing the last stok ROM with Odin . And if i flash the new ROM, its mean my binary counter become ( 2 ).
You need not to do anything right now
Flashing stock ROM won't raise count, but when you root it, it will raise
Just to keep in mind if you use custom recovery/kernel your counter will remain 1 even after using TA
if you root with Cf auto root, you can reset it to 0
After reseting counter, once boot device normally before checking counter.

Yeah, i never use other custom/kernel from other developers, i'm only use stock/kernel from samsung.
Before i root my phone with advance CMW, and i read all ur saying in forum if use advance CMW, cant reset to ( 0 ) even using by TA, its right Dr.Ketan?
If i factory reset my phone, and then flashing to the last stock ROM, can be back normally my status ? Sorry for noob question
What is the best stock ROM Dr.Ketan for can solve the battery issue ?

Yes if you have custom stuff your counter can't be reset.
Flashing stock rom or wiping won't reset counter, but you have to reuse triangle away to reset it.
You can have any latest stock tom
-flash stock rom
Wipe cache and data
Reroot
Use triangle away

Trying to update my Note 2 as I'm apparently vulnerable to the SDS bug. I've heard 4.1.2 removes this possibility.
I had rooted with the Exynos Abuse app, which worked exactly as I hoped. It turned my device to "modified" but I'm still 0 on the flash counter. I just used it to unroot so I can do a software update, but it tells me I'm still modified. I've rebooted several times, and in fact just re-rooted so I could unroot again and give it another chance at clearing up.
Is there anything I need to uninstall? Would having titanium backup be a problem, for example?

It would be better for you if you try to do this:
Search and download Triangle Away, it should be around here
Root your phone again and run Triangle away, reset the flash counter and after the phone restarts inmediately put your phone in download mode.
Flash a stock ROM and wipe.
The phone status should stay as Normal and you will not have root.

Thanks but I really don't want to mess with triangle away or start flashing things and moving the counter... looks like I'll stick with 4.1.1. I guess if I get SDS they wont' see modified anyway. Maybe someone else can shed some insight?

Using Triangle Away will keep the counter at 0, also, flashing an official ROM will not move the flash counter up.

It's totally illogical
One person don't have raised counter why you need to use triangle away?
@op
-first of all update to latest version as soon as possible to be safe from sds
-you can wipe cache and data, to make status modified, if still you don't get ota, flashing stock rom with Odin will surely make it official.
-if you don't want to wipe try this
Setting - application manager - all - sysscope - clear data
Do same with enterprise syssscope if exist
Reboot device normally , play with device few minutes then check status.

As easy as pie. Flash cf–autoroot using odin. Run triangle away and then factory reset the phone. Now you'll have a zero flash counter, system status official, and root access.
If you want to ensure it stays 0/official then install xposed framework and sysscope blaster and do not install any custom kernel or recovery.

Hi.
I have a charging problem and would like to return the phone to the shop i got it from but i have flashed so many roms and i need to bring it back to stock which i have a backup for on extsd but i know there is something called a flash counter which i am to reset or something like that and also the stock backup i have is rooted so i need to unroot it.
I have never had the need to return any phone i have ever had so i am kinda new to the whole thing of rewinding the process so is there someone out there that have the knowledge or know how to help me out
Maybe a link to a guide on this matter

well just go stock with root privelge then install triangle away by chainfire run it go through the instruction ,this will reset your counter 0 and official and if not then u can wipe cache and dalvik and chk again but normally it does.
boot your phone up and unroot from supersu menu done.

well its not abt the triangle if you have flashed custom firmware installed then your binary count must have increased so to take it back to 0 u need to flash triangle away ,check your device status in download mode or install triangle away after that open triangle away it will ask for some file download and then when you proceed to reset counter it will show there too how many counts u have or rather you have nothing

make sure you enable usb debugging before doing anything

The following will surely work
1) installed pre-rooted firmware
2) Use TA to reset counter
3) Use titanium backup to wipe data from Enterprise Sysscope and Sysscope ( Sysscope may be frozen so, de-frost it and then wipe data).
4) Format the Ext SD card as it may contain some backups which might trigger the modified status or remove the Ext SD card
5) Use Root explorer to delete busybox from system/xbin/busybox (Since full Unroot will not delete busybox, the Sysscope will scan the phone for this after boot and change the Status to modified)
6) Full unroot using Super user
7) Reboot and enjoy
This will make the phone perfect without any traces that you refreshed at all. Once you the repair is done, you can put the Ext SD card back in.
