I'm in the same boat. I have official and rooted 4.1.2. No custom kernel. No custom recovery. I used Triangle Away 2.55, and it get the job done, but suddenly, without any changes to the system, in Android>Settings>About>Status it says; Device status: Modified. I do have "Allow the tracker to run checked".

Also in Download mode it says:

Custom binary download: no

Current binary: Samsung Official

System status: Custom

Once I noticed this, I used Triangle Away 2.55 once again, but it didn't change anything. After that I tried with the new one (2.90), and still no change.

How comes? If it wasn't working from the start, I'd think the firmware is not supported and that would be the end of it, but it did work since February, and I'm sure it worked at the end of March. Why isn't it working now?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mjtaryan:
I Had a similar problem and none have another, different none (seems below). Telling way I solved the problem you mention is I did the folloeing:

1. Copied the official ROM To my external SdD card after creating a directory I call Roms?

2. Downloaded and installed Chainfire's "Mobile Odin".

3. Copied a Stock Recovery to my External SD card/Roms directory.

4. Used Mobile Odin to reflash the ROM and then to reflash the Stock Recovery (The Stock ROM I flashed Had Recovery, Boot, System and a Hidden component. However, When I went into Recovery It wasn't Stock But CWM, which is why I flashed the Stock Recovery.

NOTE: When you flashed the ROM, make sure that the EVEROOT function of Mobile Odin is on, that SuperUser and Odin are injected during the flashed process. also have Odin wipe both the Cache AND Delvic Cache.

When I restarted my device after doing the above, I Had a Stock ROM, a Stock Recovery, a Stock Kernal, my Status Screen info Settings showed Normal and the Status info Downloaded mode showed Normal, Samsung Official and Official --which, I understand is what It is supposed to Reading.

CAUTION - CAUTION - CAUTION The method described above is ONLY MY EXPERIENCE. USE AT YOUR DOWN RISK.

Now for telling problems I have after using the above method. First, although the Status flags are as they should be, the Update Setup fails so I cannot receive OTA updates from Samsung. The second problem is all the apps that requires root priveleges work fine, except for Titanium Backup, which canned't get root access. And their support tells me

I've gotten equally poor support from themthe problem is at MY end and NOT their app. I tried all of Their suggestions and nothing worked. I've received equally poor support from them jn the past, NOTE to mention that even trying to get support is about as bad as trying to get something resolved by the bureocracy of a govetnment agency.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paul_cad44:
Same issue here I noticed when u first boot the status shows as scanning. Maybe the update introduced a new routine to search for the su binaries.....

Can anyone clarify. I have stock ROM on i9305 , just used triangle away and standard root no cwm installed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Guys same issue i was facing even with the latest triangle away app. My issue got resolved by checking the workaround option in triangle away... so after checking tht option after a rebooy it disables su for like 4 to 5 min until the samsung scans the device. Once that it done it reenables the su and in the settings the device status is normal. I can even check for software updates

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (GT-N5110) US WiFi Only...

Hey buddy,

Per our G+ correspondence, I am posting that the GT-N5110 Note 8 & the GT-N8013 Note 10.1 have identical mount points & tables, as well as the same Exynos 4412 processor.

per fstab:

# mount point	fstype	device	device2
/efs	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
/boot	emmc	/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
/recovery	emmc	/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
/cache	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
/system	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
/data	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p12	length=-16384
/preload	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p10
/sdcard	vfat	/dev/block/mmcblk1p1	/dev/block/mmcblk1

I have been able to get xMC5/6 & greater kernels to boot on either, as well as built a recovery (CWM) utilizing the Note 10.1 CM source, which boots & using source I have compiled a recovery, but I need to change some configs as the screen scrolls back & forth as you toggle thru the menu. All in all, these devices are uber-compatible on about every level.

The source is available on Sammy's website & if you need any logs or other info, I am happy to help or be the guinea pig.

Thanks CF!

Does anybody know if this works with the S2 plus (i9105p)?

Or will it support in the future? Would be great!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RomWiz:
So if i use this and then flash stock unrooted ROM then i can take it to warranty?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Udonitron:
That is my question as well but I cannot seem to find a definitive nor have I been answered :(

I need a stock Samsung approved ROM to use for root so that when I use the triangle reset it will bring it from 1 to 0.

As it stands all the Samsung ROMs I have found to use for root are custom ROMs thus the triangle away will not reset to 0.

Can I use the latest Samsung firmware via download to root or will that brick anything?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
I'm on stock ROM & kernel on my SGS3 (4.1.1), and TriangleAway only took the counter down to zero the 1st time I used it. After boot, it still said "Modified," and the counter has never gone below since then (and always "Modified").
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Is this compatible with 4.1.2 JB?

Are there any dangers related to the famous ICS brick bug or is it safe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] damnitpud:
Thank you ChainFire! I bought this app on the market, so have a beer on me! Worked great on my Tmobile Galaxy S3 with Infamous installed! Now to find out how to return to stock for this warranty exchange!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Looki75:
Important Question! :)

First of all thanks Chainfire for the great job!

Will Triangle away work on my i9305 LTE international?

Details:

* I currently have a custom ROM + custom kernel + custom recovery

* My plan is first to reset counter and status with Triangle Away

* And then flash Stock Samsung ROM + stock kernel + stock recovery

* Important note: the phone is encrypted (/data partition + internal sdcard + external sdcard)

Would Triangle Away work with en encrypted phone?

Thanks for your answer!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ephraim:
Nope. As chainfire said, you can only use this in ICS. But you can always restore your GB backup or flash through CWM after resetting the flash counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RomWiz:
Will it work running Cyanogenmod?

Sent from my tablet!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Taranis:
Yes, this app works on CyanogenMod (I've tried it) and stock rooted ROMs.

If you need to return phone on

warranty

, simply flash to stock ROM through Odin, then root phone, install TriangleAway, remove triangle and un-root your phone. After this you can use restore defaults option in Settings to clean all data from phone. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] majin:
I wish to report that Triangle Away can't be launched on DoCoMo SC-03E Samsung Galaxy S III Alpha, even on rooted ROM (checked by SuperSU) and even with SuperSU' permissions.

The error message says that some files can't be writed, if I remember...

I hope developer can fix this issue.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Udonitron:
Cheers for the link but that is for the Note 1 not 2 and the Samsung site he links to has no firmware for the Note 2 SGH-1317M, tried there already. :good:

I do have the newest firmware direct from Samsung on my desktop but my question was, can I use that via ODIN to root the phone with that latest firmware or will it brick anything?

At least if I root with a legit FW my phone in download mode will show as Samsung Official and allow the triangle away to reset the binary to 0.

Any other firmware is custom thus the binary will always stay at 1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndroiDer:
I have installed a leaked 4.2.1 and flashed the cwm touch 6.0.1.2, also is the device rooted by CF-Auto-Root.

Now I have reset the counter and still the counter stays on 1. I tryed to reset the counter 3 a 4 times but still the counter stays on 1.

Is it possible to get the counter to original 0 so everything is fine again.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Maceee:
Yes. Only with stock kernel and recovery. Guys, you don't understand what this app does. It doesn't block system from scanning the files or hide custom files so the system can't see it. The app just resets the flash counter. But if you reboot, system recognizes that there is some modifacations and adds the counter again. Is it clear?

If you want to have flash counter 0, there musn't be any modifications made to your ROM when you reboot your phone. Otherwise system will see it and will add the counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Udonitron:
Reason is the software you installed is most likely custom, not Samsung Official so the counter resets.

This is my issue and yet no one has been able to say yes or no and there is no definitive info.

The Triangle Away is great HOWEVER if you cannot flash to root a stock Samsung Official firmware then the Triangle Away is pointless.

Can anyone tell us what official Samsung FW can be used to root so that TA will reset the counter to 0, permanently.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k6?:
If you read the info its all there.

You must have stock recovery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dcharleyultra:
I don't understand your issues.

If everything is stock, you should have no problems.

If you root using CF-AUTO-ROOT, you should have no issues, after a little reading.

If everything is not stock, TA may not work for you.

guys just have a quick question. are there any other effects to having that red exclamation mark appear on boot? i tried triangle away but it's not able to completely reset the flash counter as i came from xella :s if it's just an aesthetic thing then i'm fine with it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sarbe:
No there arent, if it bothers you you can goto stock or flash an earlier bootloader. TA will not remove it. XXBLFB Bootloader : http://db.tt/6Hfnb8v1 I accept no responsibility if your phone implodes etc. Flash in CWM.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
I think we all have that problem, now. AFAIK (which isn't much, honestly), I think the only way to get the flash counter to zero now is to flash everything back to stock. Looks like the phone checks if the recovery partition has changed.

Exactly!

Yes. You need a compatible kernel and stock recovery.

I read here that Triangle away is already compatible with the S4. I have the Sprint version. I bought the Pro version. I used Odin to flash stock firmware from here . When I started triangle away it said my counter was 3 in the app. I flashed it and it said 0 in the app. But in download, and in settings/ status it still says custom. Any ideas? Thank you :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] garwynn:
Are you using SuperSU? And I believe that feature is still in testing.

The custom/original setting. Not alway s guaranteed to work AFAIK.

I'm returning the phone to sprint, so do you think this is something I'm going to have to worry about if I can't figure out how to make it say normal instead of custom.

I apologize if this has been asked but I have not been able to find it.

My phone is not working properly and will not boot to when it is fully on. I can get into download mode and into recovery mode, but the phone wont stay on long enough for me to download or use triangleaway. Is there a way I can reset the flash counter to 0 without fully booting my phone? i.e. Is there a way I can reset it using odin or flashing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
Worse come to worse, you can flash a rooted stock ROM with ODIN (or flash vanilla stock, then root separately), then install TriangleAway, reset flash counter, then flash vanilla stock ROM through ODIN agian. If you have a working nandroid backup, you use that to save a couple steps.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joancolmenares:
After trying to finish reading all 283 pages, I have a question... My counter says 2... (rooted and then installed custom recovery and kernel)... If I flash a newer stock rom (XXEMC2) via ODIN, will the counter go back to zero? If the answer is NO, that means that before flashing I should use triangle away... is that so?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Maceee:
Exactly. Use TA before flashing and after flashing do factory reset.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
See here:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jagdtigger:
I know that, but i dont think the presence of a custom recovery causing this. Because after reboot(without performing a reset) it changes back to normal. And stays for a time(about a day more or less, i'm not shore) at normal...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
From the man, Chainfire, himself:

If you really want the flash counter to be zero, and the system status to not be "modified," you must be on stock ROM and stock recovery. Lots of people want it to be zero, but don't need it to be. You only need to zero everything out if you're trying to return the device on warranty. Otherwise, the "modified" thing doesn't matter at all.

Happy flashing! And remember to backup!!
