Flash counter always comes back!!

OK. I noticed that I had a flash counter and I used triangle away apk.. the apk resets the flash counter back to 0 always and I would go into download mode to check and that is at 0.. but after awhile I'll check the apk not flashing anything and its back go 1 what is going on here?? Is it tricking me showing me a fake 0?? Would like other opinions on this please!
Thanks!

Flash in recovery
http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/Sprint_GS3/LI3_firmware(bootloaders).zip
Then reset
The jb firmware has changes made to it to do that that. This will downgrade your bootloaders to stop it

I flash this every time I flash new ROM?

Weird u sure its the li3 firmware Cuz it shouldn't be going up then.
Try these instead http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556425848
You'll need odin for them

I'm running the latest JB blaze rom if that helps any

The ROM shouldn't matter its in the boot loaders. The Odin ones should def do it. Theyre lg8 I'm using them now. Says 0 and official and I'm running cm10

So your saying use mobile Odin to flash?

No it won't flash bootloaders. Says as the top inside mobile odin

Is there a thread I can read over for all these bootloaders??

Is there a thread dedicated to them no. Freeza has the posted as AIOs in his thread. But his come with a modem.
The last 5 pages or so of my stock restore and rooted odin tar thread mentions them but this isn't really an heavily discussed issue . Granted Google couldve told u that in less time than it took me to write this.

I'm just trying to gather a little more knowledge bout this "bootloader".. I flashed that zip and everything seem to be fine.. I just wanted to know what does it exactly do?? Sry noon alert! Coming from the epic touch things are little different here lol
Thanks

So just to have peace of mind I did the right thing flashing that zip right? Lol and I can go flashing ROMs without running into any problems? Sry I'm probably being stupid right now

Ya no worries it just downgrades those partitions to the ics versions and if you prefer
http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/Sprint_GS3/LG8_Firmware[sb1_tz_etc].zip
There's the lg8 for recovery rather than Odin

What's the difference in zips?

Lg8 and Li3

I really appreciate you helping me out
Thanks
So I can flash any ROM without having any issues?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Yes. Those are not Rom dependent. Like i said I'm using lg8 right now with cm10. No issues. Have used them all with different roms and 0 issues to report

Thank you sir! :beer::thumbup::beer::thumbup::beer:

Help required...IMEI number changed

Hey, i was trying to unroot my phone and reset the counter using triangle away but now my imei number is changed and my sim card doesnt work...please someone help me.....what should i do

Which ROM you have installed? Have you tried to flash official stock rom again? If no, try to flash and see.
If you are on MF2 or ME6 ROM, then you might need to restore EFS backup.. Anyways, give us more details so that we can investigate futher.

Why? When I was an admin in a big forum like this, requests like yours never ceased to amaze me. This is a public forum, not a private messaging service. How can anyone else learn from any of it if its parts are deleted every time something's resolved!?!
It's a selfish request... in exactly the same way that someone saying they'll PM someone to privately continue the discussion, when said discussion is guaranteed to contain information from which others may benefit, is selfish. I'm not saying you're selfish, or calling you a name or anything like that. I'm simply pointing-out that maybe you didn't think it through before asking a mod to remove the thread. It's participants aren't the only ones reading and learning around here.
Food for thought.

if you don't know what you are doing read everything many times and watch tutorials on YT. backup is the key feature when you flash anything.

Which rom are you using? Check that.
Do you have Odin flashable stock rom? If not download that, then you can flash the whole rom with Odin or from there you can extract the modem file and flash with Odin. The process is not actually easy if you have never done it before. Or you can search for the specific rom modem which is flash ready and download and flash that. The easiest method would be to flash stock rom altogether.

I think I didnt make my clear, I meant what ROM did your phone originally come with, which modem or baseband version, do you know that? Was it international rom or country specific? The rom you flashed later didn't have the right modem version that is why you are in this mess, find out which rom your phone came with and then download that rom then you can either flash the whole rom or extract the modem file and flash that.

I also had the same problem with my wifes s3. I had to unroot, rest binary counter and so on. I then took it to Samsung and all they did was flash the latest stock rom from our carrier and it fixed the imei problem. if only I researched it here first would have saved me a lot of trouble. a thread such as this one would have answered all my questions. plz don't delete this thread.

It would have to be an Odin flashable file as no custom recovery for att, and the locked bootloader would reject the tar file.

update from SS odexed 4.1.1 to atleast 4.1.2??

Mods: i searched and searched but couldnt find a clear answer so i had to ask..
Need help updating my S3 that i have as my extra phone which i hardly ever used lately since upgrading to the note 2 then Note3
It's currently on rom : SS odexed Blue Holly Grail 2.5 LJ7 4.1.1 baseband LJ7
I haven't modded this phone in a very long time.. I see that there is now 4.4 roms available and been searching over and over on how to go from this rom to a higher version of android.. everything i keep finding is either outdated and links are no longer available.. or the options to update are from 4.3 to 4.4 but im still on 4.1.2
I also need to upgrade to atleast to 4.1.2 so that i am able to flash this phone to page plus and the steps/guide and programs that i will be using required that..
1) Do i need to go back to stock rom first ?
2) Is there a One click Odin zip to go back to stock
3) is there a One click Odin zip to upgrade ?
Dont really care about having to be rooted on this phone as this is just my second line and my NOTE 3 is properly customized...
Please help..
TIA.

[Q] I think I messed up and I need help

I was trying to get "hotspot for all sprint samsung" to work. found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idone.hotspot
He said it should work so I used this app to check my binary so I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su.fixer&hl=en
and it says no binary installed. But I had this one installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&hl=en. So I thought it would be smart to install this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser&hl=en.
Now my phone is stuck in this recovery cycle and won't turn on.
Please help! I hope I didn't mess my phone up.

Yeah I can get in that mode. What do I do once I am in that mode? Sorry Im not really good with this type of stuff. When I get in download mode it says "Downloading.. Do not turn off target."
What should I do from here?

I'm guessing once I get my phone home and plug it in and run odin it should be pretty self-explanatory. So disregard my last post. I will ask questions when I run into them. Thanks for your help

Download the stock tar and follow the instructions

Do what GhostAssassin said. Once your back on stock you can flash cf-auto root and TWRP recovery if you want... just like you did before. As for going about getting hotspot unlocked, dont use generic methods/apps unless you want to run into this kind of problem. There are much better and easier ways of doing this. Do some searching in your specific device forums instead. With all the steps you went through you could have flashed one zip and been done. You could have also flashed a stock rooted rom such as mine and been in business in no time. Before you attempt mods and things in the future, make sure it's fully compatible with your specific device because there are differences in code from one device to another., depending on what it is.

As for going about getting hotspot unlocked, dont use generic methods/apps unless you want to run into this kind of problem. There are much better and easier ways of doing this. Do some searching in your specific device forums instead. With all the steps you went through you could have flashed one zip and been done. You could have also flashed a stock rooted rom such as mine and been in business in no time. Before you attempt mods and things in the future, make sure it's fully compatible with your specific device because there are differences in code from one device to another., depending on what it is.

Thank you. You said he are using a stock rooted rom? Can you point me in the direction to get that? Sounds just like what I'm looking for.

Did you install a custom recovery?

Yes. you must install a custom recovery in order to flash a custom or stock rooted rom. At this time TWRP is the only recovery that officially supports our Sprint Note 4. Trying other recoveries for other note 4's "might" work but in my opinion if it isn't fully tested and confirmed by the recovery project team then you shouldn't flash it on your phone. With that said, look in the Original development forum here in the Sprint note 4 forum and you will find the TWRP thread. Same for CF-auto root... just do a search and you will find it.

I don't know what that means. But I'm running just the stock rom.

Go into settings/About device/Software version. At the very top you will see which rom version you're on. The last three letters is the version you have. Look in my Hybrid Edition rom thread in the 3rd post in mods section. I only made the zips for NK2 but I can make the NIE mods later. Most pople have probably upgraded to NK2. Find out if your rom is odexed or deodexed before flashing and download the one you need.

Yep It is NIE. Now how do I tell if it is odexed or deodexed?

Unless you have flashed a custom rom on your phone you still have the factory installed odexed rom. If you have fladhed a stock odin rom .tar then it will also be odexed. If you never flashed a custom rom you will be odexed. I went through a bit of trouble making the odexed hotspot mod. Its very rarely done for stock odexed roms. But I know theres people out there who want it for their stock rom.
