First of all, congrats to Chainfire for another useful tool he created! :)

I'm running the latest CM9 nightly (March 5 2012) and tried the TriangleAway 1.25 tonight.

The values the app displayer were correct and I proceeded to resetting the flash counter.

I was frozen for a moment, as a message appeared informing me that TriangleAway had stopped! But the phone continued working so I thought "OK, it didn't work, I should thank my luck". But after rebooting the yellow triangle had gone! Furthermore, I checked the counter and it showed zero!

So, it WORKED. I searched here for a similar message but didn't find anything related, so I thought I should mention it here.

All in all, thanks Chainfire!!! :D

I've just found out that going back to GB and flashing an ICS rom, the counter goes back to one.

Seems to be for the different location of the counter in ICS rom. Erasing the old GB one, it goes back to one.

So, I think that when we'll have a official Sammy ICS (please God, listen to us!), going back to a kies supporting GB rom and flashing an original ICS rom, it will delete the flash counter, going back to 0.

Just guessing.

What guys do you think?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
All but one of the Samsung ICS kernels are not properly signed and flashing them will trigger the flash counter. It is not surprising your counter goes to 1 after reflashing ICS.

Hello, wanted to share my experience on AT&T Galaxy S 4 . I couldn't get rid of the pad lock splash screen with any other method (deleting busy box, etc). So I bought triangle away. I am on Mint ROM which is MEA based touch wiz ROM with ktoonez kernel. Risk yes but I had to try. In triangle away it said I was official with 0 counter but I had the screen on boot. Chose the option to reset and clicked through the warnings. It rebooted into download mode which showed official. Held power to get to triangle away screen. Showed official and zero so chose volume down to reboot. Rebooted and got stuck on Samsung S4 splash screen. This is where I thought I screwed up. Waited a bit and then manually power off. Wait a few and power on. It comes on and boots normal without padlock. God is good. Just wanted to share. Use at your own risk.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sasha007:
Any updates on Exynos S4 ? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Have a look here.

If you flash PhilZ kernel as signed zip file from external sd card, then your flash counter won't be touched.

Alternatively you can flash SiyahKernel, which supports TA completely (> no rebooting into special mode needed).

Good luck !

TriangleAway v.2.99 worked flawlessly with my "Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 Epic 4G Touch" running Re-Calked v. 1.2 ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - GB27) using AGAT GB27 kernel v. 1.3.

The yellow triangle was removed and my flash counter was reset to 0!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mygalaxynote2:
Can someone please tell me if the Allshare Cast dongle is going to work after resteting the binary counter with the newest TA?

I have a rooted GN2 with TWRP, and I also have removed some bloatwares. I have tried to reset the binary counter with the previous versions of TA before, but the Allshare Cast dongle wasn't working (it got disconnected 10 secs after being connected)

thank you

dead screen

My SGS3 screen and digitizer are totally dead (black screen) but for the rest the phone works (all the software is working fine), notifications, ringer, etc, work.

Is there any way to run Triangle Away or, more generally, to reset the custom counter on this phone? It is still under warranty, and I would really hate to pay for repairing this thing just because of the custom counter!

Help?!!!

I can see what's on the screen through an app, that's not a problem, the problem is the phone is not responding to any touches or any mouse input. I don't know of any way to connect a mouse to a phone (on tablets it is possible, but not on phones).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
You can, with an OTG cable, such as this one:

I got a question,

With previous version , older then 2.99 the counter was set at 0 , now it always shows 1.

Why is it that with the previous version , I guess it was 2.98 or 2.96 the resetting worked even with custom recovery and kernel.

Device is GT-N5110 and the custom kernel is mine , CivZ-StormBorn. Again it used to work correctly but now it only reset it to show 1 in counter.

Edit , it was 2.95 and 2.96 that worked and set the counter to 0.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rustyx3:
I was able to make some progress using a tool called androidscreencast and sqlite, but on an SGS3 TriangleAway needs to reboot in a "special mode", after which I do not know what to press as I have no screen!!!

Can someone please advise what button to press (and how many times) when TriangleAway is booted in the special mode??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
When the phone reboots after select reset counter, wait 30 seconds, press volume up, wait 30 seconds more, press volume down. This should reset the counter and throw you immediately into download mode, so you can flash a full stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rustyx3:
Thanks man, it worked (at least after following this I could immediately flash it via odin which means it was indeed in DL mode) :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A.S._id:
This happens because you are updated bootloader, triangle awa doing reset of counter, but new bootloader tiking after every reboot because you has custom recovery or kernel...

The ways: or downgrade bootloader, or flash stock recovery or/and kernel...

For downgrade bootloader, take old sboot.bin, that don't increase counter, and put it into sdcard

command:

$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/sboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
# reboot fota_bl

May i help you, Chainfire? I have I9500 and had some mess with bootloader (i was the one who first posted about hardware protection of boot block, if you check threads i've created). I have experience in building and modifying kernel sources and other things. I've also already successfully reset the counter of I9500 (with engineering bootloader for now). Actually, i was thinking to look into source code to try to cycle the power of eMMC, but i need some time to understand the code. So, if you are looking for someone with I9500, let me know in Private Message.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Theshawty:
So apparently a stock Samsung kernel is required to reset the flash counter on an i9505, but would a stock-based one suffice? For instance, I'm using Wanam's Adam kernel which is built from the Samsung kernel source code but did not manage to reset the flash counter.

I am running Omega 5.0 which is based on the MEA firmware.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] timberwolf60:

Hmm. Gonna see if I can flash a stock kernel and recovery, then.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
[MENTION=334644]sorg[/MENTION] yes I know of your thread. Been playing with the engineering bootloader, but as I thought previously, it doesn't seem to flash without Odin. Again, I don't have the device so it's nigh impossible for me to do anything useful here. I can automate flashing that bootloader, resetting the counters, flashing back the original bootloaders, etc, but for that the engineering bootloader needs to be able to be flashed by code. Simply dumping them to BOTA0 and fota_bl doesn't seem to work - if you have any experience there, let me know.

Regarding power cycling the eMMC, it should be possible. The kernel driver does contain code for powering down and up the chip, but again for me it doesn't make sense to be working on this without a device. It's probably easiest to patch the driver code and add a sysfs entry to trigger eMMC power cycle. If you figure this out, let me know.

I believe the system unlock for the old G2 did something similar.

Stock = built by Samsung, and more importantly, *signed* by Samsung. If your kernel is *based* on stock doesn't really matter in this case, it's still considered custom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
There is one important note here: You cannot flash bootloader if you reboot it from command line. Even Odin cannot flash bootloader if you run "reboot download" to go to download mode. It seams, there is a bug in bootloader - it doesn't cycle power for eMMC. So, in order to flash anything to boot block it's better to start phone by 3-buttons combination from power off state (or use jig from power off state as well). Using force reset with 3-buttonts combination from power on state also not always reset hardware write protection (i would say chance is 50/50).

I think, that's why you cannot update boot loader by rebooting into fota_bl.

Probably, it will work if you are on engineering bootloader and wanna flash production one.

P.S.: newer i9500 firmwares come with new bootloader. Not sure if this bug has been fixed there. I'm some kind afraid to flash new bootloader because it can blacklist engineering one.

Not installing

I've got a strange issue. On one of my Note2 (n7100) phones triangle away won't install. The install button simply doesn't work. On the other Note2 (same stock rom) it works. Uninstalling the previous version did not make a difference. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?

BTW. I can't install the older version as well, unless I use Titanium to put it back.

Hi!

I was reading about people that needed to change their bootloader....but I need to understand one thing: which are the situations where I must flash a new bootloader????

I just can't understand..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] melvinaury:
It depends on the ROM that you're gona use. For example the latest CM and AOKP to be able to install you should first the latest bootloaders. Other info is that the bootloader are backward compatible. It means if you later install an oldest release of a ROM you don't need to downgrade the bootloader. Except if you install a factory ROM with Odin, that wipe everything like factory. In that case the install will install evrything like new including the bootloaders.

I have been happily using Trangle Away on my old Note and on my present Note II but I install it only when, and for as long as, I need it because it keeps a process running in the background. Why is that?

I use stock Samsung ROMs with stock recoveries, I only CF-Auto-root my ROMs.

Also, I don't enable Triangle Away's "Allow tracker to run" and "System modified workaround". So, what does this process do, running in the background?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] janpolet:
Hi,

On my Note II Triangle Away v3.00 keeps getting stuck at "Preparing... Rebooting...".

Manually rebooting by holding the power button until it resets, brings the GT-N7100 back to life.

The device doesn't boot into Triangle Away to reset counter and status.

Device status states "Modified".

After checking "Allow tracker to run" and rebooting the device, System status shows "Normal".

I have no idea about the counter number, since I can't get into the Triangle Away boot screen.

After rebooting System status is back to "Modified" again.

Hope this will be solved soon 'cause it looks like Triangle Away isn't working at all.

Best regards,

Jan

Update:

After turning "Allow tracker to run" on and off and rebooting a couple of times, System status kept stating "Modified".

After turning "Allow tracker to run" off without rebooting, but running Triangle Away instead by choosing "Reset flash counter", it didn't get stuck. I finally got the Triangle Away boot screen again and used volume up and to reset the counter and status.

The System status however keeps stating "Modified".

I tried "Allow tracker to run" again and rebooted the Note II again.

System status is stating "Normal" now, but for how long?

I have no idea what's going on. :(

Help

So here's the deal, about three months after rooting, no custom roms or anything the ohone just starts bootlooping factory reset and flashing back to stock do nothing. I need a odin /manual way to reset the flash counter. Is there a way the photos is as far as I can get in the ui.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorg:
May be it's better to go by simple way (at least till better solution will be found). Just add support for I9500 with engineering bootloader.

Engineering bootloader doesn't affect counter or flags. So, for those who want to use Triangle Away will use it with engineering bootloader.

And if you need to bring it to service center then just flash production bootloader through Odin - that's all.

S III not getting reset to stock

Hi,

I am trying to reset my samsung galaxy III (international version) to stock rom and trying to reset the custom binary counter to 0 by using triangle away. But somehow, this is not working for me as desired. Below is what my current status is, as seen in download mode:

Product: GT-i9300

Custom binary download: yes (3 counts)

current binary: custom

system status: official

I can flash it to stock using Odin and get the Current Binary to read "Official" but not able to reset the "Custom Binary Download" to read "No". When i click "Reset Counter, it says " Flash counter has been reset" which tells me it was successful and there were no errors on the screen. But the status keeps showing Counter as "3". I have done factory wipe before and after running this but to no effect. Periodic system modified reset is also checked on.

Configs:

Android version: 4.2.1

ROM version: Cynogenmod 10.1

Triangle Away: 3.00 (purchased play store version)

Urgent response is greatly appreciated as my SIII is having persistent freeze issue and need to send it to the service center.

Dear CF, as a token of my appreciation of your work, I purchased the App from the PS. :) I used it perfectly using Djembey's pre-rooted S4 rom with no hassles.

Quick question though - since now I am using Omega and Phil's CWM, is it still safe to use Triangle Away? I am quite confused because I read users there using TA to reset the counter; however, when I run the app and Reset the flash counter, I get a warning "Do not continue unless you are sure you are running a stock Samsung kernel."

I did not change my kernel though, just the one in the Omega ROM.

But that's not what worries me. Also I'm kinda confused. I want to buy the S4 I9505 this week but as I've read here TA only works on stock. But after flashing custom roms like PACman will bring the triangle back? Or did I missed something?
