Hey guys I was wonderng if using this app will trip the counter to 1? Or are there other ways to install custom recovery that won't trip the counter?
far as i know any custom recovery. ie twrp, cwm, philz, will all trip counter. stock won't but any others will.

what's stock recovery? oh crap, is stuck recovery available all the time? Like if you messsed up bad on a ROM flash, you can go into stock recovery and restore your system?
Or is that only possible through custom recovery?
the one that comes installed on the phone. i'm not sure if using the twrp app will trip it if you use it to install a custom rom but i do know if you install any recovery other then the stock recovery it will trip it
custom is required to fix a bad flash. it can't be done from stock recovery

what is it exactly that your trying to do. i assume it's not pop your warrenty counter. i also assume your on 4.3. from my own personal experience installing a custom rom kind of requires a custom recovery as you will want to do a backup. i also suggest using an app called samsungtool v 2.0 to backup your efs partition just in case. instructions related to installing a custom rom can be found in any rom thread on here. for the most part it's the same for every rom with exception to a few. but again you do all this on your own. btw this will pop your warrenty counter but if your sure about what your doing and your warrenty is up. might as well pop it.

yeah I bought the phone used heavily on eBay, I guess I want to make it look like i never rooted it, in the future when I want to sell it or however much I can get it (phone is kinda beat up)
What I want to do is install Sky Note Air on my 4.1.2 BL without going to 4.3 BL (I hate that thing with all the stories I've heard). I wonder if I can flash Sky Air with TWRP or if I need Mobile Odin in order to do it without touching my BL?

as long as the rom your trying to flash isn't a 4.3 rom you should be good on the counter. flash counter can be reset with triangle away and the warrenty counter only gets poped on 4.3 roms. 4.1.2 and 4.1.1 are fine. flash a custom recovery and flash any older rom and you should be fine

what is the efs partition?
efs holds all your t-mobile settings. or at&t or whichever company you go through. backing it up is just a precautionary thing. you do it just in case it gets messed up so you can restore it
i found the program i mentioned works and can restore it from your backed up file so
Flashing almost any custom ROM will increment the flash counter on any GN2. If you have the Knox bootloader it will also pop the Knox warranty bit.
The flash counter can be reset by using triangle away. No biggie. Knox can't be reset at this time. I avoid doing anything that would install the 4.3 Knox enabled bootloader it at all possible. If I need to return to stock for whatever reason I simple flash MrRobinson's root66 ROM (stock plus root) and triangle away my flash counter clean then unroot my phone to stock. No way to tell I was not on official firmware with it.
TWRP is not an application. It is a custom recovery like CWM etc. It can functionally do anything the stock recovery can and more. You have to use a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM on the gn2 with very few exceptions.
Stock recovery can be restored via an Odin flash of root66 or the Sammy stock ROM. I usually do root66 so triangle away can clean up the counter and still have stock recovery so as to avoid incrementing the counter after clearing it.

Any tips as to why my 4G Modem is not working with the Sky Note 4.3 based ROM. Everything else is working except for the modem. I'm still on 4.1.2 BL it looks like (not sure how to check) but my mobile stuff is in tact. It just says mobile network state (disconnected) but all my phone info is correct. It even still has my MetroPCS/Tmo as my Network

Build.prop edit. Do a nandroid backup first, if you make a mistake you can have problems. Reboot into android. Save a copy of the file as build.bak then edit the build.prop so that any reference to SGH-i317 is changed to SGH-T889. Also anything that shows t0lte or anything similar can be changed to t0ltetmo. There are editor apps in the play store.
If things go bad, simply restore back to your nandroid via recovery. No fuss, no muss.

I'm rooted with a custom recovery running M919UVUAMDB. Is there an easy way for me to update to M919UVUAMDL. When I tried the ota it said my phone has been modified and wouldn't proceed. I've been reading about people having issues rooting their phone after the they updated, so I'm thinking it may not be worth it to update at this time. I'm hoping I can just flash somthing to bring my phone up to date without the root blocking that was implemented in UAMDL. I have been having some issues and hope the update would resolve them. Can someone steer me in the right direction please? Thanks

I have the same question.
As do I. I'm thinking it'll be a flash via Kies, then re-flash TWRP, install the custom kernel and re-root.

I thought some of the stock rooted firmwares were zipped and could be flashed via recovery.... (why I didn't think of doing this on the old GS4 I have no idea, prolly because I wanted to keep my recovery stock -shrug-)
Either way wouldn't you need to get Triangle Away?

...in other words, isn't it possible to find a custom firmware that you can flash through recovery? (or since this is Samsung land, is this all through Odin? I remember on my Evo 3D I could find new custom firmwares in zip files and flash from recovery.)
and Triangle Away resets some kind of counter specific to some Samsung phones relating to custom firmwares.

he said he's already rooted and already has a custom recovery... so basically he needs to find a rom that is stock MDL but rooted(there are 2 in the and development forum) and flash it. that's it. I'm not sure why they wanted to update through Odin it kinda makes no sense.. cos they it'd be stock uprooted and then they'd have to root it again. AFAIK triangle away it's only used to reset the counter on the bootloader to see that you haven't installed any custom recoveries which you would only need if you were to send the phone back to tmo to have it exchanged. Otherwise you don't really need Odin unless you **** up a flash and then need to bring it back to stock fw and then root it again and do the whole process basically ODIN brings your phone back from a soft brick.

Has nothing to do with lazy. I ended up upgrading via Kies, flashing the custom kernel and then rooting.
Do you need to use triangle away when you first root your phone? Or can you just use it when you need to return the phone back to stock? I want to root and if I need to return my phone for warranty I want to be able to put the phone back to stock with 0 flash counter.
later not needed right away
hold on but.....

U can just hold on on if u need to return it for service, u don't have to use it rite now since u most likely will be flashing roms and u will be triggering ur counter everytime u flash or root ur device.
ONE THING TO KNOW ABOUT TRIANGLE AWAY, IS THAT AS FAR AS I KNOW ( I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THAT HAS TRIANGLE AWAY WORKING AFTER THE 1ST JB UPDATE ) TRIANGLE AWAY WON'T WORK ON OUR DEVICES PAST JB, SO IF U NEED TO RESET YOU COUNTER U NEED TO ODIN BACK TO ICS STOCK ROOTED AND THEN USE TRIANGLE AWAY.
sorry about the caps, just tryin to make my point clear, if anyone has triangle away working on JB please feel free to post about it.:laugh:

I'm not calling you a liar. I simply stated that your post was not factually accurate. TriangleAway does indeed work as intended on even the new MD5.
Using a custom recovery will cause your flash counter to trip on newer JB builds. This may be what you meant, but the issue is not related to TA. It's a bootloader "feature". You can witness this yourself by resetting the flash counter, then rebooting into download mode. Count will be 0.

He's correct. Having a custom recovery will always trip the flash counter to 1 after every subsequent reboot. If you use Ta and reboot, you'll see 0. But the next time you reboot and don't use Ta you will see 1. It doesn't matter what ROM you run or how you've rooted in the end, the custom binary (TWRP / CWM) will Always trip the counter.
That being said if you don't want to continously trip the counter you're going to need to go back to stock recovery.

I do Agree with his statment, however while I was on any ICS rom even with custom recovery, TA would work even after a reboot, so my counter would stay at "0" it wasnt after I upgraded to JB when the TA would reset after reboot. I will upload a video of doing TA on ICS and everything just to prove I'm not just arguing just because. but it will have to wait til l8er tonite.

There is no need for a video. I understand what you are saying, and I'm telling you, it's because of the bootloader. Not TriangleAway.
I am on 4.1.1 and TA 2.90 works FINE, the Counter shows "0" after a bunch of reboots, and "Allow tracker to run" is checked...
The ONLY time the counter trips is when/if I boot into the recovery or downloader modes.
I guess some structure of the setup makes a difference. I am using Root66 SGHT999 Build JR003L.T999UVDLJA with a T999UVDMD5 Baseband

You can avoid using Odin and flash old firmware (excluding system / kernel) directly via heimdall or dd (which can be nicely bundled into an update.zip), avoiding the whole mess of needing Odin/Windows and having to backup+restore your system.
I think I'll make an update.zip just to flash the oldest firmware onto our phones -- I just made one that flashes the latest UVDMD5 firmware. The ROM shouldn't make a difference as far as trying to clear the flash counter really, it's the firmware that would be blocking that.
Also, flashing ROMs through CWM Recovery (and probably other custom ones) avoids tripping the flash counter. If you can root your ROM and dd the recovery directly to your eMMC, it avoids tripping the flash counter. Then you can use CWM Recovery to flash things without tripping the counter as well.
Remember, these are just computers with Linux + kernel modifications + custom Java VM running on them, essentially. It's good to become comfortable with UNIX commands like dd.

I think you might be a tad off on this ......
just booting into recovery when you use anything other than a stock recovery will trip the flash counter. the ONLY way that counter won't trip is when you use a stock recovery. At least that's been the case with all of the doings on my rooted gs3 and Note 10.1

Really? I mean I'm no authority on this, so I could be wrong but I based this off my findings last night. I was in Download mode quite a few times and got to see my Flash Counter which was at 3. I've gone into recovery dozens if not hundreds of times by now on this device as well as flashed dozens and dozens of things ...
Even if it was just an 8-bit counter that overflowed, I'd need to have flashed over 256 things which I don't think I've reached yet and it would be totally silly if Samsung made the counter so easy to defeat that an 8-bit numeric overflow would bring it back to 0.
Can anyone else chime/weigh in? I'm curious now. I heard that using dd is supposed to avoid the flash counter. As a software engineer, I'd think there has to be some hook to trip that counter and that hook would belong to whatever firmware is on the phone for flashing (i.e. the stock recovery) and that if any other software gains control of the phone, all bets are off.

I don't know who told you all of that or where you read it but you are wrong.
The only things that trip the flash counter is when you flash a custom rom or a custom kernel.
Simply booting into stock or custom recovery will not trip the flash counter at all.
Think about it, that's why it's called a FLASH counter, it counts the number of rom and kernel flashes. LOL

Perhaps since I have an unlocked phone it might make a difference?
I have a Galaxy S3 AT&T I747 Unlocked phone and am using it with Tmobile service.
That makes sense actually lol as it says I have an SGH-T999 and mine isn't unlocked. Probably the model of the phone acts slightly differently with Ta and recoveries.

In my case My counter won't move from "1" no matter what I do, Restart to download or Recovery ( TWRP), or flash a new rom which I do alot, only way it goes from 1 to "2" is when I do something to my phone and I need to odin back to stock and re root(which I did for research) ... it's then it gets trigger again.
Tried reverting my T999L back to stock last week and used the root66 firmware (4.3 of course) and was able to get my phone back in working condition, unfortunately the warranty bit is now tripped and I can no longer flash things inside of Odin (haven't tried mobile, probably the same outcome).
With the JUMP program through Tmo changing now and the warranty bit tripped, what are my odds of being able to trade it in without any questions?
Also, how would I go about going back to stock with Odin no longer working?
***I currently have the stock setup through root66, with TWRP recovery installed if that gives anymore info to make things easier***
Just because Knox bit is tripped, should not make Odin stop working. What is the issue with Odin ?
So long the phone's working, hopefully Jump will accept it. Not sure just guessing.

My warranty bit has been tripped and I can still use ODIN no problem
I'm running the T999L Root66 4.3 ROM on my phone and am planning on trading it in on Friday (hopefully) and want to 100% factory reset it. I've already grabbed the 4.3 stock odin file from doc's thread and I read through the thread, but couldn't find this answer.
Once I run the odin file and reboot it, none of my data should be there from before right? Or do I need to then hit the factory reset from inside the ROM? Will I need to run triangle reset after running odin? Everything looks OK currently inside the app.
Thanks again for everything!

You will have to go to Stock Recovery after flashing 4.3 Stock. Hit Factory Reset there and you are good to go.

If I understand the packing of the files, that is included. Giving it a shot now
Sup Guys!
Thinking of rooting my phone (running on 4.3 Jellybean) again but this time I want to go with TWRP since CWM (Philz Touch) gave me a mini heart-attack last time (couldn't clear cache). Want to root again to Back-Up EFS, before I Unroot again and Flash Stock Rom
would be great if you guys could give me a step by step guide still learning the things to do with Android (NOOB)
BTW I don't think I properly unrooted my phone since Knox still reacts to it

Its possible that you could extract the recovery file from your main rom and flash just that. I dont know if that would work. The risk free version would see you reflash the stock rom and simply reroot with saferoot. It doesnt trip any counters and is properly simple to use. Although I did have to change between mtp and camera a few times before it picked up my phone sometimes. Ive rooted with it a few times now.

Lol I already tripped my Knox counter to 0x1 I rooted my device before with not enough knowledge on rooting (didn't know saferoot yet)
So I have to
-Flash Stock Rom
-Reroot with the Saferoot method
-Get TWRP (with Odin)
-Backup EFS
Then I could go back to stock Recovery?
I'm running on stock rom and stock recovery right now but my Device Status is Modified and I want to reset that with Triangle Away
Sorry for asking so much question still new to Android
If all your wanting is an efs backup then root with saferoot, get your efs backup with this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.dr.ketan.efsn7100
And then use triangle away to reset your binary counter. That wont reset the knox counter though so is probably a risk not worth taking. I have used triangle away before successfully but there is a risk of bricking it warns you about. If your warrantys already in the pan theres no real point to it.
After youve got the efs backup you can use the superuser app to unroot and use application manager to remove superuser application. Thats if you want to unroot. I stay rooted as I use apps a lot that need root.
you dont have to mess with recoverys at all if its just an efs backup you want or is there something else?

Want to have my Device Status as Official not Modified. Don't really care about the Binary counter and the Knox 0x1

Ok well there is an option in wanamxposed to fake the official status or go for triangle away. Since your on stock rom that should minimise any risks

Going with Triangle Away
If I used triangle away would that make Binary Status: Official or just reset the Binary count?

Both I think. System should be official already if youve flashed a stock rom and havent flashed custom recovery.

Alright!! Thanks for your time!!
So I was fooling around with looking for a ROM but never backed up my stock one. I can't seem to find a stock MM one. Unless I'm lost and there is another way to go back to it?
Check this link hope works for you.. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G928P/
Sent from my SM-G928P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Will flashing back to the stock ROM clear a knox trip?
Not to my knowledge. Once tripped it's tripped. There was a complicated way using triangle away and and what not. But for this model, I'll lean towards no. Are you having to send it in for service? Samsung is the only one that cares about Knox. Providers really don't, so just flash stock and go with that.

Flash any of the no wipe tars
Go into setting under security (I think)
Factory reset
Or
Flash tar
Reboot stock recovery
Wipe or factory reset
Knox will always be tripped
