[Q] Reset flash counter binary for a Ace 2 i8160p ?? - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
A friend have a Ace 2 i8160, he wants to flash MC8 then Italian Job, but the flash binary counter will not be 0, how can he reset it with a i8160p?
Thx

It will remain 0. Rooted and flashed many things and still is 0.

Thanks for the Answer
How can i know how is the flash counter?
Are you with a Custom rom?

I'm talking for 8160 no NFC version.
Yes I use custom rom - The IJ AOSP version. To check binary count go to download mode and press vol up botton. You will see a "Downloading..." and the green android robot. Look then in the top left corner - you will see "CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD:NO" and "CURRENT FIRMWARE:SAMSUNG OFFICIAL". If you have NO and SAMSUNG OFFICIAL then your counter is 0.

it will stay 0, but for the future, you can reset the flash counter with triangle away...

Huh? Flashing a custom rom don't void warranty?

Whats the problem? Its suppose to say "WARRANTY BIT: 0" when you use MJ5 bootloader, why do you want to get rid of that?
With Mj5 bootloader is impossible to get WARRANTY BIT: 0x1 (knox tripped) you can flash what ever you like and it still shows 0.
one can always downgrade without issues, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500823
i never had knox enabled firmware on my mobilein first place, only the bootloader.. and skipped the first step of flashing stock rom and it was gone..

You've got to flash this kernel, in CWM (Custom CWM)
http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/82719203/file.html
Is a free Knox Kernel for XXUEMK4 compilation.
If you're still getting Knox notification, then you've got to remove all Knox apps in /system/app with Root Explorer.

Dont root usinf the CA as it will just make the knox counter as 1 . If you are having warranty then that would be void and there is no way resetting the knox now

sorry i am confused now.
first i need to get working CWM without voiding a knox.
second yes i am gonna use your kernel. (Patched_N7100_MK4_KERNEL) because it is safe one, and after all it will leave knox warranty = 0
am i right ?
also pop me a link to cwm as with philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar.md5 odin gives me an error. ''File Invalid. ''

CWM will not void Knox neither your warranty.
CWM is just for flash that Kernel I gave you and also SuperSU.
In the download mode you need to run Odin and select the PDA box and then put the md5 file.
And will raise Knox warranty from 0 to 1 (No more warranty)
And sorry my english, I'm from Venezuela

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. CWM will raise the counter.
i see. so your method is not good for me either. Got warranty for 1 more year and cwm raises KNOX counter to 1
i can also use CF-Autoroot it gives same result counter =1 ....
None of them are good than. Any other methods ?

Remember that,with mk4 rom;if you decide to flash a custom recovery,it will make your knox warranty of 0 to 1...

if you have official 4.3 on your phone and the you have valid warranty don't flah
anything or you will lose the warranty. you have knox on bootloader too and if you try to flash something the flag trigger change from 0 to 1 and your warranty is gone. forget about root by the moment.

why the hell you root at first if you scared to take the risk.
since you already root, just instal triangle away..and reset the counter..then flash stock rom..thats all
there so many guide out there..just search for it.
btw, flashing with odin is more risky than reset the counter with triangle away.

1st use the triangle away..after done reset, triangle away will give you option to reboot or go to download mode.You click go to download mode and then flash stock rom.
If you choose reboot,the counter will raise again.

if not,the application will take you to triangle away special mode..something like that..then you can reset it there

when you flash stock rom, your custom recovery will be overwrite with the stock recovery..thats why i recommend you to flash stock rom.

and since you already flash official 4.3..u can't either downgrade to 4.1.2 or flashing any custom rom,kernel and recovery without triggered the knox..

of course you can install custom rom..
its your phone, all the risk is responsible by you anyway.
I also want to return to stock after custom ROM too. I am a little scared of using Triangle away. Seems very complicated and I always mess somting up when flashing.

If you use Odin just check F.Reset Time. this should reset the counter. But if you want to do this to get back functional OTA I#m not sure if it wil work.

Hi. thanks for the reply. What is functional OTA?
So you are not sure if this procedure will reset the flash counter.

If you flash a custom recovery or anything custom your OTA function breaks that means you cant update your system by ckecking in settings --> system update. because the custom change is recognized. And by resetting this counter you can get this back. Odin does this for sure for instance if you reflash the firmware (2x) OTA wil work again. But I'm not sure if the counter is resettet when you flash an unofficial recovery with Odin.
