Hey everyone, I've just done a restore from Kies from Cyanogenmod to the original Sammy firmware. Is there any way I can also reset the binary counter to 0?

Depending on model (you didn't specify), TriangleAway. I used it on my 5110 to reset back to 0.

I read somewhere here on XDA that on the Tab 3 models the binary count is hidden on newer firmwares, not sure if that's true, or whether it even has one at all?
Anyway I don't think there's anything out there to reset the binary yet on Tab 3 (again, if it has one to reset).

Is it possible to reset the binary count on an N7105 once Ive unrooted my phone.
I seem to still be at 1, ideally would like it to be 0 again.
If its not possible, whats the easiest way to achieve my goal?

Triangle Away by Chainfire should work on the N7105 for resetting the counter. You need to do this before unrooting as it needs root. Hers is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114.

Hmmm, thanks, I did try that whilst rooted, but my counter remained at 1. I guess I did something wrong
The status will be remains as 1 if you are using a custom kernel

Yes the phone scans for a custom kernel or recovery at boot and increments the flash counter if it finds one. You can be rooted but you must be running the stock firmware.
The best fix would be to root your phone again by flashing cf-autoroot using Odin. This will root your phone without affecting the recovery partition. Then you can run triangle away again. At this point you can reset the phone as many times as you like and flash counter will still be 0. Now you either flash stock firmware using Odin or open supersu and select the option for a complete unroot from the settings menu.
Now you're back to compete stock unrooted firmware.

Hello Guys
I'm here to get some help ^^"
My galaxy Note 2 has some sound problems, so I have to send it back to Samsung in order to repair it.
My phone was rooted and had a custom Firmware.
So I downloaded Triangle Away to keep my warranty and bring the flash counter back to 0.
But it doesn't work :s The "Custom Binary Download" still is at "Yes (1 counts)" and I don't know why...
I have a full stock ROM and Recovery installed with Odin, and this is what is displayed right now when I go through Download Mode:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
My only problem is the Custom Binary Download. I don't know how to change it into "NO".
It would be awesome if someone could help me ^^
Thanks !

Hi i think you have to do this on the recovery :
wipe cache / wipe data / and wipe cache again, then you will see the counts 0.
You should try it

As long as you have a custom recovery it will remain as 1. To get it to zero you will need a stock rom with stock recovery.

But if you "read" the OP he has mentioned that both his ROM and recovery are stock.

No, OP have used Triangle away while on custom ROM then he flashed stock ROM and so his flash counter was unchanged
Anyway i have direct him on another thread and issue has been solved.
hi
i'm a samsung galaxy note 2 international version user. last night i thought of rooting my phone & removing the knox ,i followed the step wise procedure listed in theandroidsoul.com/root-galaxy-note-2-on-android-4-3-firmware-and-removes-knox-too/ . i downloaded all the files and the mistake i did is ,i forgot enable USB debugging mode so the odin showed that the process failed and wasn't able to boot into the os. but till the the knox counter is fine and the binary flash counter is fine. i thought that since the flash counters are normal installing the official stock firmware wouldn't effect the counters and i downloaded the official stock firmware from sammobile.com and i installed it. and this time i enabled the USB debbugging mode and again i entered in the download mode. now all the counters are set to custom and knox to 1 . we can reset the flash counter using triangle away . but can anyone help me in resetting the knox counter please.
No known solution to reset knox counter as of the moment.

I flashed custom roms for many times, don't see any counter on download mode, not in the T-211 model.
if you're meaning is to reset odin status to official, just flash unrooted stock firmware matching your country using odin 3.09, and remember do not check auto reboot and nand reset all.
Code:
samfirmware.com
remember, flash only stock firmware matching your country or region, samsung warranty guys are pretty thorough checking our devices.

FYI : flashed custom roms and kernels countless times, now just flashed back to official firmware using odin.
I don't see any knox counter.
I may need to send my phone in to Bell or Samsung, and I want to make sure it's back to its original, untampered state. I have rooted it twice before, so first I want to make sure my Flash Counter is at 0. I went into Download mode and I have no idea what any of the stuff written there means so I can't tell whether the Flash Counter has been tripped or not.
So two questions:
1: How do I tell whether I need to reset the flash counter, and...
2: How do I reset the flash counter, if I need to (Will Triangle Away from Play Store work with a 4.4.2 device??)
Thanks
If you are stock and 4.3 or above, your Knox has more than likely been tripped by root so warranty is void. Samsung won't touch it. See if you can post a screenshot of download mode and the more knowledgeable guys can let you know for sure.

The first time I rooted I was on 4.2 using the no-tripping-flash method found on this forum. The second time I rooted was last week when I used TowelRoot, so I'm 99.9999999% sure that tripped the counter. I'm currently running the stock Bell 4.4.2 ROM that they pushed back in June, with TWRP recovery (I was planning on flashing CarbonROM, but that plan has changed)
Here's what it says in download mode:
Product Name: SGH-I747
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP SWERV: 2

You tripped knox and the warranty bit has been changed from 0 to 1. Samsung may or may not provide warranty service.

So I'm basically SOL? A quick search on Google showed that it's not possible to reset Knox.
Any way I can revert the phone to stock unrooted at least? I'm having trouble finding a Odin-flashable 4.4.2 Bell file (the 2 links I found are dead). Could I use a 4.3 file to flash?
No way to reset it that I know of.
It is an refuse that gets tripped.
