[Q] Fail reset counter binary by using triangle away

Hello,
I just rooted and installed custom rom of my SGN2 (N7100), it raised the counter binary. I reset by using triangle away for several times but it failed.
Would you like please to advise me how to reset it?
Thanks in advance for all your kind advice.

Please take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 for advice on how to ask for help.
Nobody can help you with the information you have given - which custom ROM? Which version of it? What kernel are you using? Which version of TriangleAway are you using? Describe accurately exactly what happens when you attempt to use triangle away - what do you expect to happen? What do you see?
If you can describe the problem in detail, people can help you.

I used custom rom Android Revolution HD 9.1, and stock kernel. Triangle away version is 2.60 .
I used triangle away as a normal, nothing happen and the process was done as well. But the counter binary is still appear.

I had the same problem with triangle away 2.60,then I try with version 2.37 I can reset my counter to 0

Thanks for your information. i tried it and still faced same problem

Are you booting in recovery after resetting? Cause that will increase the counter again.
After resetting do not use triangle away again to check nor boot in recivery.
Just use download mode to see if it worked.

I didn't boot to recovery, just used download mode, but it didn't work. Thanks

So you used triangle away to reset, booted up and then switched off your phone, booted to download mode abd counter still showed 1?
Weird

Use stock kernel and stock recovery, otherwise you'll always get flash counter 1

As above said you need to use stock recovery and kernel to reset counter, otherwise you have to use play store version of triangle away with option to reset at every boot.

[Q] Installed OTA update on my rooted Note 2. Lost my root?

Help! I'm new at this. I've rooted my Note 2 GT-N7100 using CF-Autoroot some weeks ago.
Today I just received OTA software update on my Note 2 GT-N7100 and then I found out that SuperSU doesn't work anymore with error "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it". Triangle Away is also not longer working saying SuperUser access is needed.
Help!! What should I do now without having reinstall everything again? I need to correct this problem, and then remove the root from my phone!

Simple, re root with cf auto root.

Thank you! As easy as that?
Ok, let's say I've done that. Can I unroot my phone without restoring Stock firmware? Run Triangle Away to reset the counter, use SuperSU for full unroot and go to Stock Recovery and perform factory reset?

Exactly.

Hi, I did the same as OP. I was root with the Exynos Abuse app then I installed 4.1.2 OTA and now root is gone. When I got back into the Exynos app it says it can't root again.
I'm not sure what you mean by cf auto root. This was my first time ever rooting and I don't know much about custom firmwares and such. Can you tell me how to do it step by step?
Thank you

exynos won't work on 4.1.2

[Q] galaxy grand

To remove root,
1. Use triangle away (version 2.90 onwards i9082 is supported) to reset the binary counter to 0 (with caution, this can easily brick your phone, so please watch videos specially for GT-i9082 and read tutorials before using it)
2. Use SuperSU installed in your phone to perform a full unroot
3. Connect your phone to the computer
4. Use Odin to flash 4.1.2/4.2.2 official firmware for your region (INU in my case)
5. Boot into your phone, check all details in About Device option
6. Boot into download mode, check your Bin Counter (should be 0) and status should say Official
Then you can take it in under warranty :good:

No, you can root and unroot your phone the same way each time, as many times as you want to
Full unroot is there for when you want to take your phone back to Samsung service or just want to revert it back to as it was before

Failed at Odin

Hey gang, I'm stuck. I wanted to start my phone up back from stock to sell it to my friend and he wanted it not rooted. So I went to Odin and did all the steps correctly but it keeps failing. Ok last night I was able to use it and I did all the set up and even installed the update on my phone and now its on 4.3 over the air.
I wanted to put the S3Rx rom to show my friend what you can do with the phone but I can't install it because Odin keeps failing. The only thing I've noticed different was that the phone has now this "knox" app. I don't know if samsung made it harder to root your phone or what with this 4.3 upgrade.
Can someone help me solve this? what I want to do is just root my phone again. Any clues?

I don't know what you mean about cf-auto root. I even tried the other method up the installing the twrp.tar file and using Odin trying to flash the Knox removal zip, and nothing seems to work.
I don't understand I used to do this all the time and it never gave me problems. I used to do this to clean out my phone with so much junk that it was chewing up my storage space.

If all you want to do is remove Knox then flash a recovery with Odin, and flash a stock ROM like stockmod 4.3, its also pre-roooted.. You cannot do that with Odin
Edit: also if you ever want to restore to stock or use root66 you need to flash the 4.3 tar versions, nothing below or it will fail everytime.. Things changed with the 4.3 official update

You can't flash ROMs in Odin, only firmware.. If you want to flash a ROM you need to flash it with a custom recovery

oh ok, so do I get the stock firmware and then put that through odin? then after reboot run a recovery to flash a rom. The hard part is trying to find a up to date firmware. I don't know where

The firmware is already installed on your phone, you don't need to flash it again.. now just flash a recovery with Odin and then flash your rom

ok, I give it a shot, thanks again.
I'm using rom manager and I keep getting "an error occurred while flashing your recovery" but then I was looking into TWRP and it says that I must root my phone. I thought I was rooted after using a recovery in Odin

If you already flashed a recovery in Odin then just flash your ROM in recovery.. If you haven't flashed a custom recovery, flash it in Odin, then reboot to recovery and flash your rom

Because you need root to flash a recovery with those apps
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

Ok, I am trying hard to get this and all I'm getting is frustrated with x amount of attempts. This is where I am: I'm on 4.3 Device status: Custom
Build: JSS15J.T999UVUEMJC
with this I can't get to flash a rom. I was trying to flash the S3Rx 3.0 aroma but whenever but it just won't and whenever I try to go to recovery through Rom Manager theres an era.
I guess I'm stuck with this so called stock 4.3 without any special features. I'm going to give it another try with another rom and see.

I've never used TWRP. I don't even know how to get it. If I do go to Rom Manager it says "you must root your phone for Rom Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su".
thats what I get when I go into Rom Manager.
when I pick ClockworkMod Recovery it asks for either 2.x or 3.x+ I pick either one and it says that it has been set up to use your existing recovery installation. then I tap OK and when I get out of app and go back into it, it says there is an update available for CWM I click at it and then it does the installation at 100% then I get "an error occurred while trying to flash your recovery"
So basically I have no recovery that can flash any roms. I really appreciate your help and patience. I'm just going insane here I honestly believe its that upgrade I got OTA to 4.3 because all along before I had 4.1.2 and gave me no problems. I think what it was is that when I used Odin to unroot my phone I did all the installation to get back to stock, then I was wondering about updates so I went to the menu and tapped on the Software upgrade and then it was upgrading (500 and something megabytes) then it reboot and it was 4.3

You need to download the recovery from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2tmo and flash it with Odin.. Keep in mind that this will trip the warranty counter just to let you know, and you cannot reset it.. After that you can flash the ROM

Unroot issue

I rooted my SM-900T with Kingo and then installed TWRP and CM 11. Everything installed and is working fine. I just want to know that if I decide to unroot that I do it the proper way.
Kingo will unroot my device but what I don't know for sure is the order I am suppose to do things. I assume I am suppose to use Kingo to unroot my phone then install the STOCK ROM? I am just unsure about TWRP, will that go away when I unroot or do I have to remove that?
If someone can let me know the correct order to do it I would be appreciative.
Thanks

Once you unroot and install the stock Rom you will no longer have the custom recovery TWRP.

Once I unroot with Kingo how will I install the Stock Rom without custom recovery, just use the stock recovery?

Ok so if I just put my phone into download mode and use Odin to flash the Stock Unrooted ROM via PDA it will revert the phone back to "Stock", unrooted and back to normal.
Just to make sure, it does not matter that I used Kingo to root though right? As long as I do what I mentioned above the phone will revert back?
Thanks!

Easy way: if you have kies installed on your laptop.... Just do a restore. Will put everything back to stock but your Knox will stay tripped unfortunately.
