did an auto Chainfire root and reset the flash counter with TriangleAway. Recovery boot still shows the red triangle and that the OS is 'modified'. The flash counter is 0. How can I get rid of the triangle?
Get twrp recovery

You're saying if I just install TWRP it will get rid of the triangle? I wasn't planning on using a custom recovery since I'm sticking with the stock ROM and Titanium backups. I'm forgetting what the triangle keeps you from doing actually so I'll have to check that out again. THX.
OK. did a little homework as I should have to start... Triangle Away is showing the flash counter as 0 (didn't flash a recovery or ROM anyway) but the Binary status is Custom (not 'modified'). Checking the Triangle Away application thread the Note 4 is not yet listed as a supported device. I may just wait a bit until Chainfire addresses this device.
Also, Knox. There's no concealing that it's been modified.
So if i want to receive an update (ones waiting and im going it is the radio fix) then i need to do a factory reset?
You need to use xposed to spoof system status. I would be wary of ota's if you're rooted though
FYI: Additional info is in a parallel thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/update-root-t2919476
There is also some discussion in the "Best PRL" thread regarding Xposed and the ability to receive the PRL update.

HI all, I need to return my device hence I want to reset the flash counter to zero, I have tried everything, I have used Chainfire'e triangle away, and also flashed the stock rom did not reset the counter to zero either. What am I doing wrong ???
thank you
Please anyone ?
Are you sure your note 2 model is compatible with triangle away? And if so, have you tried flashing another kernel that is compatible with resetting the counter?

After you used Triangle Away and the phone is starting to boot up pull the battery. Go in downloadmode, flash firmware with Odin and after the boot do a data factory reset in settings and backup and restore. So don`t let the phone reboot after using Triangle Away or the counter will show 1 again, very important

I have tried this method twice, followed it exactly. it doesn't work on the Canadian variant (i317M) on Bell. In download mode, device status still reads: "Custom".
Triangle away's description on the play store reads: "on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!" but I have stock everything, I never did anything other than use CF-autoroot to be able to restore a Titanium Backup, I never flashed a custom kernel, custom recovery...
I really wish Triangle Away would reset my device status, as I want to be 100% stock from now on with OTA updates.
Go into recovery by pressing volume up home button then power and hold till Samsung screen shows and see what recovery u are using. My guess is it is a custom recovery

I'm not running a custom recovery. The guide linked says to run CF-autoroot which flashes stock recovery. I then run Triangle Away, then uninstall Triangle Away and do a Full Unroot through SU then do another factory reset. I'm stock kernel, recovery, ROM, everything, with a zero flash counter, but OTA updates are still broken.
Not sure... Try doing it all over

If your flash counter is at 0, then it worked I'm gonna guess. Where are you that you are getting an OTA update? Because AT&T hasn't released any.
Hi everyone,
I just bought the Allshare Cast hub and it wont stay connected for more 20 secs then says end connection...
I rooted my Tmobile GN2 to TWRP with Odin. I know that I have to use Triangle Away to reset the binary counter to 0 in order for Allshare Cast Hub to work. I already ran the Triangle Away app and reset the binary counter; However, the binary counter still says 1. I did run TA 2 times, but the results were still the same. Some people did get their binary counter to 0 after reseting it with TA.
Is there any reason why mine CANT be reset to 0?
Can someone point me to the right direction please?
I'm very noob on rooting stuff, please help,
Thank you very much for your and for your time.

Honestly, I'm not even sure. I followed the youtube video and it has links to the odin files. it has a bunch of GN2 versions to select during the Odin rooting process. is there anyway I can find out if I have any of the above you mentioned? If mine has any of the above, is there a way to make my phone not on custom rom, kernel, or recovery?
Thanks alot
twrp could be the problem.
it's just really random.
2 more things you could try:
use the note 2 toolkit(I'm sure it's somewhere in the development sections here) to flash the stock recovery.
or use sysscope blaster (xposed module) to set the flash counter to 0(use it together with triangle away)
Boot you phone in recovery mode can googel it how to Press Volume Up +menu+power button release the buttons as soon as you N7100
or you got plenty of you tube Videos let mw what does it say on this CWM, TWRP,Philz

GN2 Toolkit was the one I used to root my phone. How do I flash the stock recovery and any danger in doing it? Is my phone still rooted after flashing it to stock recovery?
Steps by steps would be greatly appreciated.
thanks alot
recovery is used to make full system backups and installing updates/roms as zip files.
it's ok to use the stock recovery if you don't install too many odd mods.
it won't affect root, and you should just follow the instructions in the toolbox screen.

What do you see in recovery s ree
There is no harm in having custom or stock recovery

If your doin lot of flashing it's helpful for you to do a nand backup and restore.

Thank you very for replies.
I ran the GN2 Toolkit and it has a bunch of options.
one of them says "Reflashing Stock Recovery Via Odin"
Is this the right option that I need?
Also, do i need to unroot 1st before doing it?
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but I love GN2 and I cant afford another one because of my noob mistakes.
thank you very much
there is no need to unroot, and yes that is the right option.

Thats because when u root by cf autoroot or whatever, it uses a "custom recovery" for few secs to root your device and after that it changes back to stock but samsung detects those few secs and it raises your binary counter to 1.. and now u want to reset your binary counter so u have downloaded + installed the app...
Ta uses also a "custom recovery" to reset your counter. After resetting it (0), your recovery changes back to your current recovery may it be stock samsung or cmw doesnt mather but when u reboot samsung detects that also and raises back to 1
Thats why when people want to unroot their phone and t use Triangle away..
They follow the following steps
While resetting the counter it asks u to reboot.. dont let the phone directly boot up (so samsung doesnt detects anything custom and counter stays 1)
And go directly to download ODIN mode.. now open odin and flash stock rom. This way you would perfectly unroot your phone..
Ps: counter 0 and root is possible by prerooted roms.. but counter 0 + custom recovery is impossible imo (maybe im wrong xd)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
it's kinda possible.
while in download mode my flash counter is probably at 1, but while android is running it's at 0 thanks to sysscope blaster.

I reflashed my phone to stock recovery with option 6. I also ran Triangle Away, but my binary counter is still 1.
Therefore, I decided to try your methods by running TA 1st to reset the binary counter and let it boot into Odin downloading mode. I ran the GN2 Toolkit and tried to reflash the stock with option 6, the GN2 Toolkit was just waiting for USB Debugging althought I had it turned on. Can you please help me pass this step?
I very appreciate for your help.
yeah sure..
so lets make ourselves first clear..
u want to unroot your phone fully??
can u boot into your rom/phone now??
do u have root?

No, I just want my phone to stay rooted with stock recovery and binary counter = 0.
After I reflashed the stock recovery with option 6 and reset binary counter with TA, but the binary counter is still 1.
My phone is till rooted and still boots up just like I had before. I can still go into Odin Downloading Mode.
I hope I provide you enough info.
Thank you

it works for me even with the counter at 1.

hmmm, that's interesting. No, I have not tried to run allshare cast yet after I reflashed stock recovery.
Alot of people said that it wont work when the binary counter is 1 or greater. Thats the reason I didnt try the allshare cast.
I will run Allshare Cast when I get home from work.
What does your phone status say? Modified or Normal?
as i said in my first reply, allshare cast is very random.
initially it worked only if i used a stock recovery, while my counter was at 1.
somehow it started working later on using CWM.
then it stopped working, but running triangle-away fixed it(even though it changed nothing)
my counter should still be at 1, but because i use sysscope blaster android thinks it's at 0.

I just ran the Allshare Cast again, same issue.
Furthermore, I was able to reset the binary counter with TA, then instead of letting it reboot, I went into Odin Downloading Mode, used Odin software to reflashed the stock recovery. Sadly, the problem is still exist: my phone status still says modified and wont work with Allshare Cast.... I'm afraid I'll have to unroot it unless someone can help me out. this allshare Cast crap starts to piss me off!
I think I deleted a few bloatwares before.
are all my settings, apps etc going to be deleted/reset after I unroot my phone?
Thanks alot
Hey there.
I rooted my GN2 a while ago, and yesterday I just wanted to reset the Flash counter to send my device to warranty (BT problems).
I installed Triangle away and tried to reset the flash counter, and two things happened:
1. the counter still says (1)
2. now I can't get into recovery mode, the device just boots into the system like if i'm not holding the vol+ and home buttons!
so, how can I get the recovery mode working again, and I read in a comment on youtube that a guy tried to re-install CWM through odin and the device went into a boot loop!?
and why the counter still says 1?
When you reset the flash counter did your counter in triangle away match the reading in download mode
Were you on stock rom and kernel when you reset the counter?

Current Binary and System Status are fine. The only thing I believe you have to do is reset the flash counter. That would be the "Custom Binary Download" section. When it says "Yes (1 Count)" It basically means that you flashed a new recovery. You'll have to use Triangle Away to reset it. There's a thread somewhere around here.
I've only returned to stock once and I'm recalling what I remember. If another member can either correct/back up what I have said, it would be much appreciated.
Odin the root66 by mrRobinson. Once you have rooted stock, run triangle away and reset the counter. Once that is done and verified, unroot and you are back to bone stock. Do a factory reset and reboot. You should be good to go.

sorry yes i am doing factory reset after... so hit full unroot in SU then it exits still shows SU and triangle away but SU is not installed and Triangle is not usable so not rooted anymore then reboot to stock recovery doing factory reset and then still flash count 1? all my other stuff seams to be right just not the count...ha would it be easier to fix my broken screen myself?

Starting with almost stock phone flash count 1 opening toolkit 4.1.0 selecting SGH-T889
Then 2 root unroot FLASHING unsecured boot img unsicureall4t889 name is something like that selecting chainfireSU opens Odin select that file from toolkit and start
After rebooted from flash with pass exciting Odin back to toolkit
Toolkit finishes root download mode reboot and its rooted with SU download my purchased triangle away from store reset counter puts it in triangle reset mode reset counter after then download mode to check count is no the other two things say custome reboot then unroot threw SU reboot factory reset wait for that go threw setup and then reboot download mode check status count is 1 and other two are samsung.....
Is this wrong?

Step 1 - download and install Odin on your pc.
Step 2 - flash the root 66 tar (see the link below) via odin according to the thread instructions. This will install the factory recovery and binaries and give you rooted stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33738396
Step 3 - boot the phone.
Step 4 - install, if necessary, triangle away
Step 5 - run triangle away and select reset flash counter and follow the process.
Step 6 - check the status on your flash counter
Step 7 - if all is well, unroot.
Step 8 - factory reset and reboot.
This has worked for me in the past.
