I purchased Triangle Away from Google Play. Tried to reset the counter from 1 to 0 but each time I go to Triangle Away there is no Current Status shown. I go back to the reset counter screen and the counter is still 1.
Can anyone tell me how to do this properly or is the counter supposed to be 1?
Thanks

Yes it will keep showing the count at 1 as long as you have a custom recovery. If you read the developers thread it has been mentioned that in order to keep bit at zero you'll need to go back to stock recovery and ROM.

But according to him, he have used CF auto root, so recovery should be stock only unless he flashed some extra custom stuff.
@xLeonardo
How you checking flash counter, with Triangle away? then it will show you 1
just put device in download mode and check what is there for custom binary download
If it is 'No' then your counter is alrady reset.
Also you need to reboot device once normally after using triangle away, then after 10 min check counter.
If still it is 1 then as above said by bushako, check your recovery and kernel both are stock.
I bought triangle away months ago, it used to work on my rooted device. But the last 1 or 2 update of samsung stock rom has rendered this app useless. Now my note2 stays as modified.
I guess the last firmware update has fixed the loophole this app is using.

Not really. Just a few days ago I tried triangle away with Samsung's stock ROM xxdmc3 and it successfully set it to Binary Count 0. Provided the recovery is stock. I didn't really buy triangle away, I just downloaded it from xda but I don't think it makes a difference as they are the same version.

@bushako
Agree
There is nothing wrong with application with any version, i think previous poster saying about status : modified not counter.
@BratPAQ
if so, that is not a big issue, there is already some tricks are there, and last option wiping will reset to official.

Oops didn't see that...so if my guess is right BratPAQ wants to keep his phone rooted and still have status as official?

Yeah I didn't flash anything else. Recovery is stock.
Yeah I've been checking with Triangle Away. Checked with download mode and it says No, so I'm guessing all is fine now.
Just wondering why on the Triangle Away app it doesn't show my current status?
Set Triangle Away to auto reset the counter at reboot and you should be good to go.

Hello all,
I recently updated to Wildchild's Version 6 Jellybean Rom using the instructions in the OP and it has been running great. However, whenever I reset the flash counter using the Triangle Away (version 1.90) app that comes with the ROM, when I reboot my phone, the counter goes to 1.
Resetting the counter in Triangle Away and then verifying right after will show '0', but as soon as I reboot my phone, the flash counter shows '1'. Is anyone else having this issue?
Not sure but triangle away isn't working for me either, my phone says modified somewhere in settings. I have to Odin to stock to reset that. Maybe you have to the same.

Use triangle away on a stock rooted Rom. Then use cwm to flash your Rom of choice. Cwm (probably twrp, as well) don't trip the flash counter when flashing roms

I have a question about Triangle Away, I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 AT&T SGH-I317 model, I just installed CF-Auto-Root for my first time, and immediately installed Triangle Away from the Google Play Store after.
I rebooted into the "special mode" and did Volume Up to reset counter and status.
This is what is listed after a reboot into special mode again
Device: SGH-I317
Flash counter: 1
Binary status: custom
Upon rebooting back into Android, TriangleAway app says:
Current status cannot be determined. Need to reboot into a special bootmade tap Reset flash counter.
Which I did.
Is this how it should be? Did Triangle Away work? Aside from flashing a completely STOCK nonroot ROM, is there any additional steps required if I needed to exchange for a warranty?
That's what i got also until i installed persues kernal. Now i get this:

If you shutdown and reboot into download mode you can see if it worked. Just pull battery or hold power when it says downloading do not shut down.

So you had to install the persues kernel before it displayed that?
May I ask why you did this?
go into download mode press volume up
and you should see your flash count. Because Triangle Away didnt gave me that exact comment.
everytime you reboot your flash counter will say 1 even when you reset it...you have to set triangle away to reset the counter on each bootup. it's all in chainfire's cf rooting thread in OG development section

The issue I'm having is how.
I don't see any directions on that

ttt.
Figure anything out?
OK ... Running Jedi X custom rom, need to go back to full stock and get rid of the dreaded "! triangle !"
I downloaded Triangle Away
I successfully restored factory recovery via odin
I ran triangle away
When I go into download mode I still have the triangle.
What step am I missing?
Do I need to first get rid of the custom rom and/or kernel?
Do I need to UNROOT?
Do I need to load stock firmware?
I had done this once before a few months ago but don't remember what step I am missing this time.
Thanks.
Edit:
Answerimg my own question it seems I need to load full stock firmware but at that point how can I run triangle away?
I guess what I need is the "ORDER" to run the various items to get back to "clean system" with no "triangle"
You will always have a triangle in download mode what you're interested in is the flash count in the top left and the device status

Yes, it said "1" and there was an "!" inside the triangle and said custom IIRC.

Gotcha. The order is triangle away then stock firmware
You need root for triangle away that's why you do it first. Then usually you'll need a factory reset from stock recovery to finish it all off

I used mobile odin and flashed the stock firmware from sammobile and it work perfectly for me.
Sent From Land Of Ooo. Using a Jedi Mastered Note 2.
"Where you think she at when she ain't with you?"...
I went through the steps (triangle away, loaded stock firmware from Sammobile) and my download mode now reads:
Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts) <-The 1 doesn't seem right
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Should it still say "1 counts?" Or do I need to reroot, run triangle away again and unroot now that I have stock firmware loaded?
Thanks.
I need to return S4 White and get another S4 white.
Can I just do the nandriod backtup on Phone 1 and restore on phone 2?
Ques 2.
Is that okay that I just do the factory reset and leave the root on along with twrp?
if not then I just need to ODIN the stock rom?
I am still within the 20 days return policy
First, yes u can restore it with everything you have on that one with no issue except if your getting the s4 from another carrier, the bloat might give you issues with it.
Second, If you're returning it and it's rooted your warranty is voided so you need to go back to stock and unroot it and the flash counter that tells if you've made any unauthorized changes to the software might give you issues so I don't now how to reset the flash counter so I would wait until u can restart the flash counter and go back to stock... I hope this answered your question...

isn't if I ODIN back to stock would unroot automatically? even remove the recovery as well?
you mean there is no way to check the flash counter or reset?
Odin erases any root files but hey the only way to see if it resets the flash counter is by doing it and once you went back to stock and get on download mode again and once you proceed check at the top left where a small text will say something like, system version: official Samsung, flash counter: 0 or 1, name... Etc... And yes it will take the recovery as well
Edit: if it doesn't reset it try researching it on Google I'm pretty sure there's some way to do it..
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
flash counter only increase if you ODIN anything other than Stock. Correct?
I use the exploit to get the root access, so technically I never ODIN, and my flash counter should be to 0.
question is if I do the ODIN to stock, is that gonna increase the flash counter?
Can I not just go back to stock via kies? that will not increase the flash counter I guess.
here is the screenshot showing the current status of what it is now after root and twrp installed.
Does not really show the flash counter.
I'm not really sure but try to use triangle away and see if it shows u Ur flash counter and if it does don't try to reset it with it Kuz I don't know if it's compatible with the s4 yet
Edit: I just checked and yes that app does work with the s4 so there's Ur option... Check if it's showing the flash counter nd if it does reset it nd then go back to stock nd problem solved..

System Status is Custom, which if I remember correctly means it has at one point been flashed with a custom firmware.
I may be wrong though.
can someone who is not rooted please tell me the difference, what they see on ODIN screen?

It will say Official instead of Custom. I used Odin to install the MDL update and it changed to Official. In settings > about device > scroll to the bottom and under Device Status it should also say Official.
yeah!!.
This thing is getting on my nerves now.
First that stupid Tmobile error which is forcing me to order the same phone for different line and return this.
Like I said just used an app called TRIANGLE AWAY and it will reset your flash counter...

Go to recovery, do a full wipe, power off, use Odin and install the new MDL update.

Is hooked to the phone so once you get a new one it will b there but u will have to re start everything you've made on it its not good to back up system apps.. It will give you too many issues..
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
follow the instructions as you said.
Now I am back to stock but the Device Status still shows "custom".
I also used the triangle away 2.90 which let me reset the counter back to 0, it showed me on the confirmation page, but looks like that didn't do the job.
Now there is no root but custom device status.
Returning phone like this would cause any issue?
I tried kies as well, its just not connecting with kies, even after re-installing drivers couple of times
Go into stock recovery and wipe cache and do a factory reset from there that should clear it up.
Please tell me whether TriangleAway works on Galaxy S4 or not ??
Yes I used it to reset my flash counter.
No it does not currently work. The above poster probably tried it and it does reset the program to read 0. But as soon as your phone is rebooted it shows the old value again so it obviously does not update the counter. Chainfire will need to update it for the S4.

It does work on the GT-I9505 but you need to make sure the system status shows "OFFICIAL" if it shows "MODIFIED" the counter never decreases below 1. To have the "OFFICIAL" status, you need to flash the samsung original recovery through ODIN and use the option to disable SU for a few minutes after the phone reboot (it's in triangle away).
You may also need to factory reset after flashing the recovery on some phones.

You need to be using the stock firmware in order to reset it as well if you're using another rom it will obviously increase it to one again since the system is gone read it as modified... I've done it twice already and it worked pretty well...

Good to know... but mine started at 3, and stayed at 3 after once I rebooted. Before I rebooted the phone it said 0.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but where can I find the flash counter? When I reboot into DL mode I dont see any sort of "counter"

In my case, I used the CF-Auto-Root so the only changes made are the ones it made. I have the same result, it 'says' it reset until you reboot. I'm using the stock recovery. (unless autoroot changes it) so yeah, it definately has to be updated for the S4 esp with the 'update'.
