Hi guys, I have a T Mobile Galaxy S3.
I have been trying to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away but the app just keeps crashing.
I now have used ODIN to flash back to the stock rom, but now when I go to download mode, I get a "Yes (2 counts)" for the flashcounter.
I do own a USB Jig, I have tried to use it to reset the flashcounter but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, I hear this may be due to the bootloader?
Any way I can reset this flashcounter to No? I have to bring it in because of a cracked screen.
Thanks
Just ran triangle away. Worked like a charm. Went to download mode to confirm. How did you acquire triangle away? Maybe reinstsll the app.

Buy it from the store. Wipe the app's data/cache, uninstall, reinstall store version.
Downloaded it off of the xda thread, it loaded up and then said "Unfortunately Triangle Away has Stopped" tried it with both downloads. Problem is now i'm unrooted so it's gonna be a pain...
I think it doesn't work if your not rooted..

Rooting takes less then a minute? Buy it from the playstore. In the last week I've had three updates.

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.

When Im in Samsung it just says connecting but never gets the phone.. Could my drivers need updating?

Sorry Im not so technical.

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 youre the man, thanks for making that thread! I will try these methods when I get home!
:good:
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.
My dad got the note2 about 5 or 6 months ago,I rooted his phone and that's it, just rooted. But now he's in an area that has LTE and its not active obviously , he doesn't want to lose anything so I was hoping
I could unroot his phone
Download the ota update that activates LTE
Then reroot
Possible??
Thanks

Use triangle away. Then your supersu app should have a full unroot option under settings. First thing though is if you removed any system apps you need to put them back.

Just flash the stock image with odin, that should take care of it

Thanks, I tried that triangle away thing, but no go, says software was modified error when I try to update after checking temp, unroot with supersu
In anycase, I will try that image thing with odin, but I really didn't want my dad to lose his data, and it looks like that will do a full wipe/??

From that same thread linked above... (newest MD1) Flash either odexed or deodexed, then flash kernel, then modem and the data will be preserved. You will need to have either TWRP or CWM recovery installed to flash. If you don't have a recovery already, I recommend TWRP. You can get it by downloading goomanager from play store.

How did triangle away not work? By the way the easiest method would be to just flash the update itself
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Totally do this via odin. Stock rooted and current radio. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33738396
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I could have sworn that I simply flashed the latest stock radio, which itself enabled my Note II to use LTE.
Ok,
I know this is a hot question but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Stupidly, in hindsight, I let KIES update my SGH-I747M to 4.3. After it rebooted, SuperSU/Triangle Away, etc would not load or work. So, I tried using ODIN to put 4.1.2 back on but all attempts have failed so far as my counters are now at 3 and state is custom. Normally , I would run TriangleAway and all would be good. But SuperSU will no longer load and stick around so that I can run TriangleAway. I have not tried any other custom ROMs yet.
I have also used the latest SuperSU v1.80 but it does not stay installed and I cannot use Triangle Away to reset the counters. Anyone have any ideas on how to get SuperSU to work? That would allow me to reset the warnings and all would be great.

You have to re root your phone. Use cf auto root and when that's done find superSU in the play store and install/update it. Then open SUPERSU and when it asks you to disable knox say yes. Also update its binaries. Now you have root and you can use any root application you want.

Ok... I see the path. just want to know where I can find the proper "cf auto root" files for the SGH-I747M. I will search the web again, but if you happen to have a pointer that would be great.

Success . . . . .

I just did this and it keeps telling me "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped. And I'm pretty sure knox is preventing it..
NEVERMIND! Apparently it didn't update SuperSU automatically. Now it updated, normally updated binaries, rebooted, and checked root with Titanium Backup. All's good!
First of, let me say thanks to these people: Chainfire, upndwn4par, mjwhirly, dicksteele, and many others from this forum. Thank you CWM team and TWRP team for provide many great things. Thank you whoever developed this DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0. Thank you Samsung for great device. And last but not least, thank you ANDROID!
I just recently acquired note 2 att, with 4.3(MK6) for my brother. I just want to unlock this device to use on other networks but it seems that you have to downgrade to 4.1.1 to do it without paid any service. If any one have other way please tell me, thanks in advance.
First thing I did is to root by using Chainfire auto method but upon reboot, I got message about "Unfortunately, Supersu has stopped" and a message from security try to access...I went back to recovery mode to apply Update Supersu 1.65, 1.94 but fail every time because it cannot verified. I messed around with odin and other few more time, now my knox count is up to 3. Then I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991, this gave me an idea to try it out, why not. Remember that thread is for galaxy s3, you need to download cwm or twrp file accordingly to your Note 2, I used this "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-t0lteatt.img.tar"
Other files you need to have before proceed are: any odin 3.x.x will do, update supersu 1.94 from chainfire site, and DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0 from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407586269
Stepsplease read few times before try it out, I am not responsible for your device!)
Put phone in download mode.
Start odin on your computer, click on PDA then select which ever recovery file that you dowloaded to load it in odin.
Now conect your phone to computer that odin is running. Make sure "Re-Partition" is "uncheck" then click "Start." From here is what I did, as soon as Odin done with it, make sure Odin say it "PASS" which mean you are successfully. The phone reboot itself, I hold down combination keys "home + volume up + Power" to get back to recovery mode right away. I do not know what happen if your phone reboot fine without enter recovery mode, I did not try, so I do not know. It maybe boot up fine but you won't have root/supesu for sure. My knowledge on this thing is poor. I am newbie to this, so forgive me if I say thing wrong.
Lo and behold, my twrp is up and running, from here I just install two files: Update Supersu v1.94.zip and DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip. Restarted the phone, and no more of this "Unfortunately, Supersu has stopped". I checked Supersu to make sure it installed properly, and yes it was.
I just hope it will help with some of you that is having problem with trying to root Note 2.
I am done for now, will try to unlock next.
