I was wondering if anyone tripped there flash counter with a stock note2 ,after they updated there software with the official tmoble update ?
I believe with every new firmware update your flash counter will go up regardless...If you root though, you can reset flash counter with triangle away.

I don't believe so.
From the s3, the flash counter would only go up by 1 if you flash a non official samsung rom (excluding injected).

I just purchased a Nexus 4 from google play (super excited), and I now need to restore my S3 to stock in order to sell it to make up the difference. I am hoping to flash the stock rom via Odin using the S3 toolkit, which is what I normally do. I'm just worried it'll trip my flash counter. Is there anything I should be worried about having a tripped flash counter(in terms of OTA)? I know Kies won't let you update without a clean flash counter. I'm just looking for the quickest way to get to stock without it ever looking like i was rooted. Help?
If the flash counter is zero right now, just Odin stock image. Otherwise, use TriangleAway then Odin stock image.
Hello Firiends,
I had upgraded to official 4.3 MK4 and tried rooting it.
Unfortunately I triggered the Knox counter to 1 and still couldnt root my 4.3 SGN2. n
Nevermind.
When I tried downgrading it to 4.1.2, it failed.
So I downgraded using my nandroid backup and success. My nandroid backup was a rooted one.
Now when I use triangle away to reset flash counter, It does not reset it!!
I flashed stock recovery and I am on stock kernel.
Please help! I NEED GO TO THE SSC in a day or 2.
When I reset the counter it shows
Custom (yes 1 counts)
Binary : Custom
And the last option as Official.
Problem is you upgraded to MK4 bootloader with KNOX. You can't downgrade now. Possibly don't try to flash any other bootloader. You could have a brick.

Basically I dont want to downgrade.
But i can go to the SSC only if my binary and everything is official and flash count is 0.
I couldnt root on 4.3 MK4. Knox stopped everything.
Any fool proof method of rooting on 4.3? So that i can be done with the flash counter using triangle away?
4.3 MK4 with Knox counter 1 and everything official. Samsung said they can resolve it only if i visit the SSC.
PS: I have tried almost every method to root.
also Bricked devices are covered under warranty, arent they?

Hi ,
I also did the blunder of updating to 4.3 yesterday. I didnt know the knox would create a big problem. Only when I rooted it showed me the knox as 1.
But I was able to root (only root) with stock recovert. But unfor it increased the knox to 1. I am not downgrading or doing anything now .
Why you need to go to SSC and are they aware of the knox being set to 1 ? Will they reset the knox to 0 , if I am at 4.3 ?(I have not tried unrooting though)

Flashing Stock MK4 through PC ODIN should set counter to 0.

Sure sir?
Edit : It did make it samsung official, but still "Yes 1 count" is there.
so, i'm reading this forum for 2 days now and i didnt get any answer.
i installed stock XXUBMJ7 (4.2.2) firmware with odin. Before i new anything about knox and stuff, I rooted, and get knox waranty void 0x1.
then i installed again XXUBMJ7 firmware with odin and didnt root again. (because i hate warnings at the boot). i still have 0x1.
now, I have two questions and i need simple answer.
1. Can I install newer stock (4.2.2) XXUBMK3 firmware with odin? will it work?
2. can i root my installed stock XXUBMJ7 firmware again and then install [CWM][ROM]GT-I9195XXUBMK3 deodexed, with no knox bootloader? will this work?
thanks
anyone?

It is impossible. Could not recover knox if you root
I was actually wondering about this too. My knox counter is there, but it's greyed out and is on 0 despite the flash counter being at 11. Will I be able to unroot at all?
Thanks.
Hello sir, I think you can unroot your device by flashing the stock rom again, just make sure to make a back up all of your apps as believe that it will wipe your data if you're coming from a rooted device, just download the stock 4.3 firmware from sammobile
So I recently used CF Autoroot to root my T-Mobile GS3 SGH-T999 and I heard that if you try to downgrade to android versions before 4.3 your phone will be hard bricked. So with my knox counter tripped I was wondering can I flash a rom that is on 4.2.2 I want to flash the MIUI rom. Thanks in advance.
You can flash any custom Rom via Custom Recovery. Nothing bad will happen as they have only Rom and Kernel.
However just never flash Pre-4.3 Samsung firmwares via Odin. Those contain the older bootloader. If you tried to flash older bootloader, you get hardbrick.

I know to get rid of the trip count I used triangle away. I installed, opened the app, followed the set up, reboot and count was back to zero.
