[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
Well, the argument has been made that rooting actually doesn't void warranties. I have never actually used a warranty on any phone, but I'm not sure there's actually a clause in the warranty agreements which state that rooting does invalidate the warranty.

Does anyone have proof that rooting voids warranties?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
It depends on where you are in the world. In some places it does legally void your warranty, in other places it doesn't. In some places the burden of proof that the defect cannot be caused by the modified software is on you, in other places they have to prove that the two are related. Whether or not it is covered by any agreement between you and carrier and/or manufacturer is irrelevant if the country you are in has laws governing these issues (like a lot of Europe).

All in all, it doesn't matter much. It appears most service centers have a policy to not repair any "modified" devices under warranty. In such cases it really doesn't matter what the law states regarding your warranty, as a service center is not necessarily part of the OEM but is often an independant company that gets reimbursed by the OEM for the repairs it makes. As such, the service center has no obligation whatsoever to cover any warranty repairs if they choose not to do so - they are not the ones legally liable for your warranty claim. If they have instructions from the OEM to not cover these devices, then they will not, because the OEM will not pay them for it - and you can stomp your feet all you want, but it's not their problem. In that situation, you'd need to lawyer up and confront the OEM, which is undoubtedly more expensive and more of a hassle then just to pay for the repair yourself or replace the device.

Of course, wherever you are may have other laws, or the service center may actually be part of the OEM, or your carrier may be the one legally liable for your warranty claim, and in such cases it may be easier to force them to repair your device, if you're legally entitled to that.

So really, it all depends ... However, keep in mind that being in the right and getting your right are two very different things, and it can take quite a bit of time, effort and money to go from one to the other :) Horror stories aplenty if you search for them. Of course, there are also lots of stories from people who've gotten devices with all statusses tripped repaired for free without issue. But really the question is, why would you even take the chance if you don't have to ?

Need Help with VZW Note II

I bought a Note II off ebay and when it was apparently already rooted and couldn't get updates. I bought Triangle Away and tried to reset the flash counter but now I just have a Yellow message that says its unauthorized Verizon software and won't boot. Is there anyway to fix it our have I bricked it for good?

Sounds to me like you need to unlock your bootloader. But I'm no VZW Note II expert, perhaps you should check the VZW Note II forums ?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] post-mortem:
Are you trying to avoid tripping the counter, because you want to send the phone for repair using the warranty? Or you don't care, as long as you can get the picture?

Maybe you should start a thread in your device's Q&A forum, so you can get more exposure for your issue, with people familiar with your device.

Galaxy S4 i9505

Hello,

I have just performed a root using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219803

After a successful root, I installed and ran Triange Away, which took a little while to run, and then restarted my phone.

Unfortunately the counter remained at 1, and I have confirmed this in Download mode.

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Should I try again?

Thanks

Arus
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
v2.95 released !

Attached a new version to the first post with some improvements and new devices (see the changelog on the first page) !

Qualcomm-based Galaxy S4's should work much better now (though more cumbersome), but as usual of late you still need a stock kernel and recovery to keep everything official and the counter on 0.

Play will take a few hours to update after this post ...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dark Angel Arus:
Thanks, you are a legend!

I have already bought the PLAY version, so I will await an update there.

Hopefully it will fix my issue :D

I'm truly sorry for those that are having bootloop issues. This is a a really tricky piece of software due to having to circumvent all those Samsung protections.

Please help me fix this by providing these details:

- Which device are you using ? Model code please, so GT-I9300, or GT-I9505, or ...

- Which exact firmware are you using ? If custom, please provide a link to the ROM thread and/or download, of stock, please try to find it on SamMobile

- If you are running a non-stock kernel or non-stock recovery, please provide a link to the relevant thread and/or download

If I have all this information, hopefully I may replicate the issue, and that is the first step to fixing it.

New version uploaded.

Should fix the bootloop issue with the S4, but at the cost of you now having to be running on a stock Samsung kernel. It warns you about this, however I do not yet have actual detection finished. So if you don't read the warning, and try it anyway on a custom kernel, it will either not work, break your device, make your head explode, etc. Doing this and then coming here to complain it doesn't work, will not make me think much of you at all.

Should also fix the problem some were having that enabling the tracker would suddenly revert to custom instead of official - if that even worked for you before.

Also added support for AT&T and VZW S4's but this is not tested, please do let me know if it works.

I had a Bootloop so I came to give you some information.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100

Firmware: Stock 4.1.2 XWLSD

Kernel: SpeedMod (I'm sorry I forgot which version)

I tried using your amazing app, so I entered in it, I verified the informations, so I choosed Reset Flash Counter, the app said it will reboot into a specific mode but when rebooting, it entered into a Bootloop.

I was truly paniced (almost crying :silly: ), I re-flashed the Kernel and it was good to go :D :D :D :D

Then a little later, while reading on XDA, I got a FC on TA. While writing an acknowledge to the developer I got yet another FC on TA.
