As I understand it, the only way to get a counter 0 on Samsung firmware, is to run Stock firmware (stock kernel and recovery). If recovery or kernel is changed, you can only reset counter to 1 (not zero) but wan't get the triangle.

Custom roms like PACman might be another story ...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] occtec:
That is precisely correct! ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ronmtorres:
Ok, so running Custom ROM would not matter right? Just the stock recovery + kernel?

I have the T-Mobile M919 S4

I'm running an I9505 ROM ([MF4 V1.3] WanamLite)

When I start up Triangle Away, it's saying that my model is the GT-I9505. If this isn't your exact model and you continue, you'll brick your device.

I didn't proceed and pressed cancel.

GT-I9505 is showing as my Model in my Device Settings, changing from my original model of M919, after flashing the ROM

Can I still use Triangle Away under the above described circumstances?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kcrudup:
No, staying zeroed only works with a stock kernel and recovery. I was (up until the last couple of TA versions, anyway) always able to reset it to zero (before).

I have also a question about this. I have on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3100 the stock firmware P3100XXDMB1 and i have root with CWM. I have reset the conter with TriangleAway to 0 and then i have done a hard reset. Now the status is back to normal. With the Galaxy S3 with stock firmware I9300XXEMC2 it will not be the same?

Hi, this has worked flawlessly on my GT-N8013 but I don't have to send it in for warranty like my SCH-I545.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
Chainfire has stated previously that he's working on it (1, 2). However, he doesn't have that device, so he's having a hard time testing. Basically, just wait. He'll publish it when he's got it working.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sasha007:
Yes chainfire is working on exploiting the available options to reset the counter on 9500 . But since he does not have the device in hand , he cannot test and debug . Just wait , he would publish it when he's got it right :)

Changing status

Hi

I did as it was in #1. Now I have a status: SAMSUNG after rebot my device but after about 3 or 4 minutes it is searching and after that it is changed to a CUSTOM.? Sometimes, after rebot, it is scanning for a status for about 5 minutes.

Is it how it should to be or something goes wrong?

Maybe I should disable SuperUS in those 3 minutes?

When I want to search for firmware updates - it is starting to search. Sometimes it is searching with no end :) sometimes after fiew minutes I have an information that firmware is CUSTOM and cannot be updated, and ones it started to downloading something. I dont know antyhing about new actualisation so I just sut it down.

Thanks in advanced for all info about.

EDIT: In ODIN mode i have all Samsung Offcial... only after normal boot it is changed on Custom :?

I'm pretty sure as long as you are running a kernel other than stock, it will stay at 1.

questions from a newbie

hello guys.

I have some questions. I will buy the i9505 on Monday... I dont know nothing about rooting since I am coming from iphone... I will root it with CF-AUTO-ROOT (simplest way of rooting) ... so... as I have read TriangleAway resets the flash counter.

1) Can any user of i9505 confirm that TriangleAway really works on their devices by just using CF-AUTO-ROOT? (no custom kernel or bootloader or rom all stock ones.)

2) Will I be able to use OTA updates after CF-AUTO-ROOT + Triangle Away?

3) If I am Rooted and a new stock firmware gets release will I be able to make the update?

Thanks for any answers given!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mittaa:
1 YES (but only when stock and no custom recovery)

2 Don't know (think so)

3 Don't know (think so)

I

never

use Samsung KIES to flash new releases or updates!

If your rooted you can use Odin Mobile from ChainFire ... same fellow who make CF-ROOT and Triangle Away.

With Odin Mobile you can keep root and flash new firmware whenever needed :)

This is a very easy and secure way to flash new Samsung Stock releases (if custom firmwares or kernels Odin PC might be better).

Hope this help you a bit in the right direction ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fugitiv3:
Thanks a lot!!

Anyone else for Question 2 or 3? thanks !!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jayadratha Mondal:
So for the answer no.

1. Samsung Galaxy S4 International GT-I9505 is listed under supported list of Triangle Away. Please read the support list on the 1st page 1st post of Chainfire.

2. I don't have i9505 but I have S7500 on which after rooting by CWM I was unable to update the latest OTA of 26MB but via kies I was successfull to update.

3. Yes after rooting if a new stock firmware releases then you can obviously make the update. If you want to use it as fresh then use your supported version of ODIN and flash it. On that case you will be totally unrooted and yellow triangle will be also removed but the flash counts will not be removed. To remove that flash counts you have to use Triangle Away.

Please click the thanks button if this is helpful.. :)

hi,

I am trying to reset counter on my N5100 with rom N5100XXBMF2_OXABME5_XXBME3_ROOTED

but the counter always shows 1

How can I fix this ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
I've installed stock recovery and stock kernel.

But I still get flash count 1 on original download screen. (same on TriangleAway)

How can I reset this ?

Btw, my device is in fact named N5105 (a special version for Turkey) but I am running a N5100 firmware on it.

When booting it says N5105. Is that a problem ?

I am using the Play version and tried different settings without success. Please help me...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
You also need stock recovery. If you have CWM/TWRP installed, you can't get the counter below 1.

Anyway, if you're not trying to sell the phone or claim warranty, there's no benefit to zeroing the flash counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
But I have stock recovery. (Check my post :) )

But it doesn't help. I still get flash counter 1.

I need to reset it because I want to use Allshare Cast dongle and it doesn't work without resetting flash counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
Well, I suppose it's possible that the phone recognized the N5100 ROM as "custom."

I haven't used it, but I thought the Allshare Cast thing worked as long as the status was "official," even if the flash counter was >0.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
so , how can I solve this ?

installing a N5100 bootloader ?

btw, I have the same type of modification on my N8005. It uses a N8000 rom and there's no issues with Allshare cast.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
You admit you are using CWM there is your mistake right there, as long as you have CWM you will always have custom status and not be able to update OTA, you can only get official via stock ROM and recovery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fugitiv3:
So if I root and I have everything Official i will then get OTA updates right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If you can get Official then yes you will be running OK for OTA, I did have official on my S4 but for some reason I must've changed something and it is having a little hissy saying custom atm :S, you will need either the Google Play Store edition or SuperSU Pro to get official though as you need to use the workaround which is only available in triangle Away by having one of those two versions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fugitiv3:
You have me confused now. "Custom" you mean in Device Info? I will not be able to get "Official" if I just use the free version of Triangle Away?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] antukubo:
Well, my situation is different and a bit weird.

After rooted my Galaxy S3 Mini, I reflash stock recovery and installed TA. I do get 0 count but my status is custom/modified on download mode/system status. No matter what i do, it will not change to official. So, since it is not very important, I re-flash CWM Touch 6.0.2.7 to make/restore nandroid backup. The weird thing is the status will change back to official (system status & download mode) within 2~3 days and manage to check for OTA. BUT IF i reboot the phone, it will then changed again to custom/modified. I just need to wait for another 2~3 days to get the official status back again. This weird thing happened since TA 2.99 and 3.00.

Do not ask me how & why, since I don't know what exactly happened. But it proves that you can get official status even on CWM. Just to share with you guys....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
I'm looking for help desperately. Is there anything that I could try ?

Is there anyone who used Triangleaway on Note 8 (N51XX) for this purpose (allshare cast dongle not working) ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
... on some phones <--- that being the important part everybody keeps forgetting

The exact mechanism used differs per device model, and some things work on one model and not on others. A lot of the BS about the entire thing is people assuming what works on one phone will work on another. This is not the case.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Whizzpopper:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], do you have any comments on this ?

please...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
I think your device isn't recognizing the N5100 as stock. That happens sometimes between modles. I don't think there's any solution other than actually running an N5105 ROM. I'm not sure if flashing an N5105 bootloader would be a smart thing to do - or if it would even be possible, it could be the device would reject it all out.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
well, in fact N5100 is same hardware with N5105. The only difference is that N5105 has phone features disabled in software. Because of the weird tax in Turkey for phones.

so there must be a way to false makeit recognize itself as N5100.

in any case, do you think I might be missing something ?

I already installed stock recovery over rom : N5100XXBMF2_OXABME5_XXBME3_ROOTED

this is a rooted, deodexed rom. I didn't intall stock kernel seperately as the rom is stock.

would that matter ?

thx.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
[MENTION=399794]mrmrmrmr[/MENTION] I forgot if you said this already, but have you tried flashing your device's N5105 ROM, and see if TriangleAway works? If it does, then the problem is definitely some kind of ROM incompatibility.

Also, maybe try an odexed version of the N5100 ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jayadratha Mondal:
So may be it is happening for the CWM touch 6.0.2.7. Is this version of CWM stable??

---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

Yes I'm using CWM :) I'm helpless. S7500 is not there in the supported list of CF-AUTO-ROOT. So I didn't take risk :p

check this for the support list of CF-AUTO-ROOT

And I didn't think more to use this because CF-AUTO-ROOT is for only and only to get root access. You have to install CWM or TWRP to get those features like nandroid backup and all. So [MENTION=1967427]fugitiv3[/MENTION] decide what do you want. Only root or root with all lot of extra features.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
I would definitely try a N5105 rom if I had found any.

Unfortunately , there is no N5105 rom that I could find. Have you seen anywhere ?

Also, where can I find deodexed version of this rom ?

Does Triangle Away from Google Play need an update to support the Sprint Galaxy S4 MF9 update? I had "official" status under MDL and Triangle Away took care of everything. Now that I am running MF9, it says it needs to reboot to Download mode, hold power 10 seconds, etc., but then it comes up saying "could not find triangle and counter data" (pretty sure that is the exact message), reboots and I am back to square one.

If you use cf-auto root the answer is simply NO. The only way is to flash a pre-rooted ROM to get your updates. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] civato:
Question,

I got a GT-N5110 (Note8.0) with a custom kernel (I build , civz-StormBorn) with Triangle away support in the kernel.

Triangle away V2.90 resets the counter to 0. All newer versions don't. Why is the custom kernel support lifted? Or am I missing something.

Now I need to install a stock kernel before I'm able to reset counter. That is stupid because the moment I reinstall the custom kernel the flash counter goes back to 1.

With V2.90 I could reset it with the custom kernel.

Some apps need it to be 0 but then I can't use a custom kernel.

Hope I'm making myself clear enough
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Raven_Yen:
I am using GS2+ (I9105P) with prerooted custom ROM.

Current BIN: Samsung Official

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION],

I just noticed something. If I don't let it boot after flash counter reset, but power off then go into download mode, I see counter=0 and status=official.

If it begins booting and then I turn off, go into download mode, I see counter=1 , status=custom.

So , it seems to set counter to 1 just at the beginning of booting phase.

Does that lead us to anywhere ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Where did you get v2.90 ? I would like to test it on my Note 8. As the 3.00 does not help me , maybe 2.90 could. Maybe our problem is same.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], would that be meaningful ? Can you let me try that version ?

thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

@civato,

your kernel has "Triangle Away app support"

what does that mean exactly ?

maybe if I use it my problem can be solved as well.

But I am confused; Triangle Away seems to support Note 8 only after v2.95. However, you say that you were successful with only v2.90

how's that ?
