[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.

Thank you dr. Ketan. I used official firmware by flashing it with mobile odin, and it was success.

[Q] Urgent

Hello
Could you please help me with restoring my phone to factory settings and unroot?
I read DR.Ketan unroot guide, but i am not sure which kernel/stock recovery to flash.
Also will i need to flash a stock room after that and is there any stock ROM or any way for me to get Arabic language on my Galaxy note 2?
I have uploaded a link of the image with my phones current software details etc.

Thank you for you help.

Yes you will have to flash stock rom and that will take you back to stock kernel as well also use triangle away to reset your counter

[q] unroot stock n7100

Hey guys. Need some help here. Ive googled a lot but still couldnt find a clear explanation
nor tutorial of what should I do, if I want to upgrade to comming 4.2.2 having my gtn7100
Note II rooted on stock rom.
Im a noob so be warned: in SuperSU theres an option that sais full unroot. As I understand
its not a proper unroot. True?
Triangle away, changes some counter to 0. What is that and is
this step crucial?
Could you guys make it clear for me and explain the steps of unrooting a stock ver.?
After the expected update gona root it back I guess.

Flashing stock rom with odin completely unroot.
Reset counter is related to warranty, if that doesn't matter for you then forget it.

Won't this leave SysScope screaming that your device is modified?

If counter is raised then status will remain modified.
To revert status normal you need
Reset counter
Flash stock rom
Wipe cache and data (optional if status is notmal)

warranty void

will flashing the rom void my warranty?
something like flash count in there or something?

without rooting how u will get cwm recovery ?
and rooting will result in warranty void...

You can revert to official to claim warranty using Triangle Away, then flash official ROM. Then everything will be reset to official.
To use Triangle Away your phone must be rooted.

Flashing a Stock ROM using Odin will not void your warranty.
Flashing a custom recovery and then flashing a custom ROM will increase your binary counter and hence void your warranty.
If you are unaware of the terminologies that I used, please use Google to understand them.

For usimlng triangle away you must be rooted.
Flashing official firmware will make your device official and bin counter will be 0
Press Thanks if you like my Work/Advice

In order to claim back your warranty. First run Triangle Away to reset the bin counter on your rooted ROM. Then flash Official ROM through ODIN. Remember after flashing Official ROM, go into recovery mode to reset to factory settings. Then your device will become Official again.

Remember after using triangle away.. Never tried to go Cwm recovery it will increase bin counter.. So flash directly through odin after use of triangle away....

Yes you may flash the stock ROM even without using Triangle Away, but you binary counter will be greater than zero. To reset it back to zero, u need to use triangle away just like rejocie001 said before you flash stock ROM for warranty claims.

Quick question about Triangleaway

So i want to root my note 2 but do i have to flash the Triangleaway right away or later on when i want go back to stock i can do it then ?

Triangle away is the app to reset the flash counter in samsung devices.no need to use triangle away for rooting.it will just reset the number of times you flashed the firmware to zero.

Yep.but if you want warranty you should reset the flash counter before going to service centre.that's how they see how many times you flashed firmware.

thanks a lot, and btw how do you install the twrp recovery ,?

Download goo from the market and install from menu button.

FYI..resetting counter doesnt revert your rooted phone back to stock. After running triangle away you still need to unroot using SuperSu then factory reset n stock recovery. If you skip unroot and factory reset steps it will show 0 count but status will show customized when you go to download mode.
