thanks bro but i don't have a yellow triangle when start my phone do i still need to download triangle away app...
Doesn't hurt. It can check your flash counter, make sure it's 0. Even if you don't have to run it, it's always good to know it's 0 instead of being surprised later.
Also, did you take note of which firmware version you had before rooting and flashing a custom rom?

Triangle Away doesn't work yet. Still waiting on an update.
I think there's a stock software you can flash that resets it. I'll look for it quick and get back to you.

yea but dont u have to flash that in recovery?? so ill have to root it again and flash a custom recovery again rite?? i already unrooted with odin its stock everything now recovery and all.. just the counter is not at 0.. do all the stores look into the counter being not at 0??
You'll have to flash root/recovery again in Odin, but as of right now, I think this is the only way to reset flash counter.
Takes 6 seconds in Odin and you're back with CWM and root, so it's not too much trouble.

Triangle away works just fine as long as your not on jellybean which triggers the counter on every boot. So wheather you use triangle away or the rom w/ reset you will need root or a custom recovery.
Just flash any custom recovery in odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900492 which takes two seconds.
Reboot straight to recovery and flash zip in above post. You'll be totally straight afterwards. Dont even need to reroot. 2 step process
u guys think that they will look at her counter in case she ever goes to sprint?? everything else is stock just the counter says 3

Wondering if anyone could help me out....
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 a couple of weeks ago and everything went well. I was using my rooted phone for two weeks until i got a device update from t-mobile. I was hoping it was the jelly bean update so I went ahead and tried to install the update but it was failing. Since I wanted jelly bean so bad I decided to unroot my phone and flash the stock recovery in order to install the update. I flashed the stock recovery and installed the update obviously it was not jelly bean... Now I want to root my phone again but every time I try to flash clockworkmod recovery with odin it does not flash. Odin says everything went okay but when i put my phone in recovery it brings up the stock recovery. I think I may need to reset my flash counter but I could be wrong. Can any one tell me how i can root my phone again? Is there a way to reset the flash counter if my phone is not rooted? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Triangle away. Seriously? Pull the battery after flashing recovery or delete the two files (search) or untock a box.. SEARCH. It gets asked once a week at least.

Can I use Triangle away when I am not rooted? I posted it here because im not sure if i can't root because of the flash counter or because i got an update. I tired pulling the battery after flashing recovery and it did not work. Now my flash counter is up to 4.

Long story short, just got my GN2 off craigslist and it has SuperSU installed but no memory card was included. Does that mean it was already Rooted or is Rooted and if so how do I get it back to factory settings like it would come if I bought it from the store?
I'd prefer to try and Root it myself later.. Thanks
UPDATE, Need More Help Please...
Ok so after Rooting I have come to a problem, my Note 2 won't connect to my laptop anymore.. I connected my Galaxy S3 to move some of my media and pictures to my Note and it said installing drivers (I thought nothing of it) then I tried to connect my Note and it wouldn't connect.. Is there something I did wrong or what? I have USB debugging on and when I check the drop down box it shows "Connected as a media device" but it's not showing up as a drive in My Computer
You need to get the stock tar file and flah it with odin that should get you to stock and remove root.

Thanks again guys for the fast replies and help..
Updated original post.. Need some more help Please
Hello,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 3 that has been rooted and flashed with the Cyanogen JB rom. I need to return the phone for warranty work. Triangle Away says that my counter is at 6. How do I restore the phone to the factory rom and reset the counter? Since the phone has to be rooted to reset the counter, how do I restore without adding to the counter? Should it be at 0 or 1 to send it in? I'm a little lost here. I appreciate any help I can get.
Dustin
I would suggest Triangle Away, then format/wipe/clear everything and then flash stock via odin. Odin will not trip counter. If on a non-stock I believe you must check the repartition box. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

How dangerous is Triangle Away? I bought and installed it on the phone already. Are there any precautions that I need to take? I do want to restore it with the original rom. Where would I get it?
Thanks btw!

try shutting down your device and boot while holding the volume up, home button and power button simultaneously then do a factory reset from there. should work
Hey Everyone,
I have a Note 2 for AT&T and yesterday it didnt work at all. It showed the Samsung logo while booting and it went away. It only does that when the battery is pulled. After a few hours I took it to the AT&T store and they ordered me a replacement but now the phone can be put into download mode and "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." but wont boot past that. I tried using Samsung Kies and nothing. When the replacement comes I will reject it because if I send my old one in they will void the warranty.
While using Odin I get the "Complete(Write) Operation Fails". This morning I downloaded a new firmware (hoping to be the right one) and will follow up.
Anybody have suggestions? :crying:
You say you tried kies ?
Did you try the updater?
Reason I am asking is because you should be using the EFR not the updater when using kies when your phone is bricked or w/e.
Updater wont fix anything.

You will need to flash rom from the link below cuz they are rooted already. Use triangle away to reset counters then unroot using superuser, go to recovery mode and do factory reset in stock recovery. Same steps above I used to put my phone back to official and removed custom / modified status.

Wow!
What worked for me: I searched for the AT&T stock ROM 4.1.1, the file name started with "KIES" something. I must have been running the wrong ROM the whole time. I checked and the counter is up to 8 but the current binary is samsung official and system status is official.
Now how do I get the counter to say "No"

I'm just going to root it again using Odin and run triangle app to remove the counter but just keep it rooted and run performance apps. I honestly don't want to mess with the ROMs anymore.. ROMs are no joke and I've learned my lesson.
