I soft bricked my phone last night by flashing a mod on a wrong rom so I had to unroot and then root it again but now in download mode it says I have two custom binaries. And now my recovery is all jacked up. So what do I do? How do I delete it?

First go to the stickied thread named SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 QCOM TOOLKIT V2.3 under the development forum and download that. Use the toolkit to Odin to stock (using download mode on phone)... Then use it to root and custom recovery... Once the phone is working and rooted, download triangle away from the forums and that will reset your counts

I am already rooted via odin so downloading the triangle off will fix this count and will it fix my recovery being finicky?

Triangle away will fix the binary count. You could probably also use the toolkit to re flash recovery if you're sure that's all that's wrong with the device. I tend to be more cautious but I am a part time dev so YMMV

I had the same issue. I just got my S3 yesterday and rooted it within an hour of having it, following QBKing's instructions. I should have read a little further and didn't know that it increased the flash count. I used Triangle Away and it worked great. Counter is at 0 now.
I have not tried to use it on an not rooted version of JB. Just wondering if anyone can chime in and share their experience. I know that since the update the flash counter will go up to 1 everytime you reboot your phone, triangle away says it reset the flash counter but next boot it is increased again. Would that be the reason I cannot use the All share cat dongle? It worked fine on ICS rooted but not on JB. EDIT:
The is a thread in general about three flash counter with Doc Holiday and chainfire trying to figure this out. I think it's best if we post there.

Had to reset the dongle after updating to JB(stock root) then all worked fine. Before resetting, TV hung at connecting screen even tho phone said connected.

I tried resetting it several times but it still doesn't connect. I tried to but then says all share cast is closing to connection... I tried with stock recovery because I thought that maybe because the flash counter keeps resetting itself, thought CWM was resetting the counter but even with the stock recovery it doesn't work. Samsung really sucks with what they did with this update... there is no way to keep the flash counter at zero....

I updated with wildchild's Odin firmware then flashed his stock de-odexed rom with twrp. Used triangle away one time and reset the dongle and everthing is working as it should.

Not working for me. What ROM are you on? Custom recovery or stock? Stock kernel or custom?
In the general forum is a thread about the flash counter and doc holiday and chain fire are trying to figure out what the cause is.
Here is the link.. Probably better if this gets discussed in in one central thread...

Sorry I couldn't find a direct answer anywhere.
Has anyone tried and know if Triangle away is working on the newest T-Mobile update?
No. But why wouldn't it?

Nothing has been mentioned that I know of. But if for some reason it doesn't work, one should be able to Odin back to a firmware that it does work on, use TA, then Odin back to the new firmware.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Might not work due to security patches that are contained in the update.
I was unsure if Odin would allow a complete downgrade or not to have TA work again.
I have updated to UVJC and tested triangle away and it seems to work for my phone. I'm on Frosty latest build 11.6 with built in Xone kernal.

Dude update was a radio one nothing major . most likely everything is the same just the reception, signal. It's no different when you flash all the other modems
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Update = new kernel plus radio.
Triangle away is good if you use it and go back to ICS, then turn in cell to dealer...then have to come back to 4.1.1 later and have counter at 1
I used it on on with the UVJC software and worked just fine to put counter back to 0 and official
Works
I've seen the count as high as 2 since I've been flashing ROMs and updates. Went back to stock added the update and used Triangle Away to reset the count successfully. The description says it works on stock rooted ROMs.
" your device had been modified . software updates are not available " why is it saying that, is it suppose to say that im root and with TWRP
Did you use triangle away to reset your binary count to 0?

no i have not where can i find the guidance for that ?
Check "[How To Guides] Root,Unroot,CWM,Stock,Hotspot, + Tips!" in the General forum.

It doesnt matter if he uses Triangle Away right now, he has TWRP on it. Until he is 100% stock + rooted it will always say modified.

You're completely right. I forgot that he said he was still rooted. Assumed he unrooted at this point.

I'm 100% stock+rooted and it says under status that my phone is custom. Even After using triangle away. If I want to get the OTA update I'm gonna have to ODIN flash a stock firmware.

In triangle away check the box for 'System Modified Workaround', After a reboot it disables root for a few minutes, it should say Official after that.
What kind of recovery do you have? Stock?

Flash stock recovery (I think there is an Odin file floating around) then use triangle away. Should reset you back. The bootloader is running a check on the recovery at boot. If it doesn't match a certain value (I think it checks the signature) then it trips the counter.

Might not even matter, but just in case, do triangle away before you flash to stock. That's the way I've been told to do it, and its safer I guess.

Whoops. I actually responded to this post, buy I guess I quoted it.
To be safe, I'd use triangle away right before you flash you stock ROM. That's the way I was told to do it, and worked without a hitch. Plus, it's way easier.

Quite possibly the easiest thing to find. Use Google or YouTube and type in "how to unroot TMobile S4."
All the instructions give you links to the official stock Roms.

Post what ROM you're on.
Triangle Away says it's always best to do it on a stock ROM.
Had the same problem, but there is a guide in the general section on how to unroot..... by DJ intrique (hope I spelled right). I followed that and worked beautifully.

Backup your current ROM.
Flash back to stock ROM and stock kernel. Even the debloated stock ROMs you find in the dev section should work,
Run triangle away.
Verify it worked.
Restore your backed up ROM.
Should take 10 minutes for this whole process, not counting the time to download the stock ROM.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
So after all that can I go back to my custom rom doing a re store?

Yup.
The counter only goes up when you flash something through Odin. If you reset it to 0 and flash 500 things from Recovery, the flash counter still stays at 0.
So if I wanted to Un root and return to stock how would I do that without tripping the flash counter don't I have to Odin?

You need the stock kernel & stock recovery I believe. CF Auto Root gives you just that and makes the process very simple.
