If it doesn't stick, try waiting 15 minutes before rebooting. I've had the same problem myself a few times. There will be an update to Triangle Away that will hopefully fix it (works on my I9505, at least)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Marty:
Yes, if I check that option, the counter stays at 0 after a reboot. It does so because its resetting the counters everytime at bootup in my case. If I uncheck the auto reset at boot option, my counter reverts back to 6 after another reboot. So the reset isn't really sticking, its just getting set to 0 each time the phone reboots.

Hi all:

I have a question. I m on stock rom Sprint GN2 v4.1.2 rooted with Perseus Kernel. I checked my flash counter which shows 2. In order to use the TA, everything MUST be stock but rooted. Am I correct?

TIA

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oxidil:
You may use TA with any custom rom but if you have stock recovery it ll rest to zero but in some cases with custom recovery, counter may show one

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] -eldorado-:
Coming from the OG Evo 4G. Looking forward the the S4 crowd! Trying ti figure out if I need this...Running MDL rooted, TWRP, Hotspot MOD, and a menu MOD for restarts, but stock otherwise. After root lost Google Wallet. Wasn't using it anyway but thought it odd. Re-installed, and it notified as unsupported device, because of root. So, running Triangle resets the counter, but does it reset the 'custom' listing under system binary?

I am also not worried about taking the phone in for work, I don't buy that insurance. I just start putting the insurance payment in an envelope and hope I have saved enough by the time I ruin my phone. :) So, other than removing the custom label, why would I be worried about the flash counter. Thanks everybody. Just bringing myself up to speed...

hi i tried to use triangle away on galaxy s4 i9505

my device was rooted, omega 3 rom, philz recovery

it TA reads my counter 4

however when i run "reset counter", it display successful but my device freeze after that.

i need to reboot and when i checked on TA, my counter status remains unchanged.

sorry for my noob question, is TA only working on galaxy s4 i9505 stock rom - rooted?

triangle away not supporting my device

Hi chainfire

Not sure if this is the right thread so if it isn't could a admin move it.

I did a dump as triangle away asked and posting it. My device's that I would like to get supported are the following

1. SCH-R760 running GB 2.3.6

2. SCH-R760X running JB 4.1.2

The dump file below is for JB 4.1.2

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tony.Cool:
I tried with my brand new S4 (my Nexus4 was stolen), root stock rom and worked fine, triangle is away and says firmware is original. But when I go to Update app, it says it's not original and software can't be updated OTA. Is this behaviour correct? How do I update when new update is out? via Kies?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] meduza:
...did you reboot after using TA...?

Maybe it is root, that prevents OTA from working...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GingaB:
Tried using TA to reset counter just for the fun of it. However after pressing reset button the app didnt boot the phone into the special recovery!? I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 LTE, on MIUI rom and have CWM recovery. Does this app only works after flashing the stock rom/kernel or can it be done on custom rom? I know it wont reset it back to 0 however i'd like to reset it back to 1. So the question is does it work on custom rom!?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stappern:
just bought the app,i have 2 galaxy note 2 n7100,installed the app on one ,i open the app and i see the flash counter and i can reset it right away

on the other one though,i cant,the app says i have to reboot in a special mode but why? its the same model whit same rom/kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MintiIceCream:
Umm...

This is how the app works... it reboots into special recovery, where you can reset the counter... it works like this on every phone.

Help please :(

Hello,

I need your help!

I tried Triangle Away on my Galaxy S3 i9305.

It did reset the counter to "No" and the binary to "Samsung Official".

However, system status in bootloader remained at "Custom".

I tried the "allow tracker to run" option of TA, but it had no effect.

Now I want to flash a Samsung official firmware in order to revert to "Official" system status, but regardless of the official Samsung firmware I am flashing, the system status always remains at "Custom"...

How can I do to revert it to "Official"?

Any help... please... :(

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] timberwolf60:
In order for you to get all status to official. The kernel and recovery must be stock. I had done one i9305(mb4 firmware) and two on n7105(mc3) for friends with success. Used this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2124758

You can used mobile odin to flash stock kernel and recovery. Hope it help.

Thanks I'm going to try the method you linked to and let you know if it worked.

FYI, I tried also to do a factory reset + flash STOCK samsung packages (includes stock rom, stock kernel and stock recovery) but System status was still at "custom"...

Question:

when you did that on i9305, did you also have tried the "allow tracker to run" option in TA before? It seems that because of trying this option, I am now stuck with "Custom"... because before I ever tried I could always revert to "Official" by flashing stock samsung files from Odin desktop...

You saved my day!

I did what you suggested; the important part was about SysScope ; in TiB I saw it was frozen; so I un-froze it, delete its data; rebooted in download mode, flash Samsung official package - at this point reboot in download mode was still showing system custom; but I rebooted the device completely and in about/status... it was showing "normal" and then I rebooted in download mode and it is showing normal again!

Thanks thanks thanks!!!

Last night I rooted my new I9505 with Auto CF-Root and was able to reset binary counter using this application. Although it hanged my mobile first time and after forceful restart binary counter was still 1. Then I tried 2nd time and it worked (without even hanging anything).

My counter is now 0, and download mode is telling "Official" although it mentioning "Custom" below it. Is this normal ?

It will say custom if you have a custom rom and/or recovery.

Triangle Away Might have been moved or deleted?

I am trying to download the most recent version of Triangle Away and I am getting an error saying

the file "might have been moved or deleted".

Where can I get this file from? I was not attempting to download the file from some of those unknown

ad phishing websites. XDA is where its at.

The version I currently have is 2.60. When I go to install on another phone it is saying... "Parse Error - There is a problem Parsing the Package"

What does this mean? How do I fix? Just need to reflash counter.

What does Param.tar do? Is this a Tar file of Triangle Away?

Please get back to me! Thanks

No worries Note 8 support has already been implemented and tested.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elesbb:
First off i just wanna say, Chainfire, you have been a HUGE help here on XDA for us Samsung users. I am eternally grateful!! Thank you so much!

From reading what i quoted, this is not working on the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 then? I need to return to stock and reset my binary flash counter so it no longer says custom in download mode. Triangle Away did exactly that on my S3 but despite the app saying it was successful, and it showing as official in the app with zero count. It still says custom in download mode.

I recall on the S3, Samsung introduced a new method that every time you would reboot to TWRP, CWM, it would trip the status. So there was no setting and forgetting method for Triangle Away. You had to use triangle away, boot straight to download mode, flash the Odin file, then reboot and it would say official. I did exactly that with my S4 and i am still getting "Custom" in download mode.

Like i said, im guessing its not working yet. Will keep my eyes out for an update! Hopefully soon! :P lol

What is flash counter and What it happens if v dint reset? Now clear what my confusion... hehehe :D sorry... please temme
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ephraim:
Flash counter is samsung's way of knowing that you flashed your phone with a custom kernel. So if ever you want to get your phone serviced by the service center and they found out that your flash counter increased then your warranty will be void. If you didn't reset your flash counter it's ok as long as you will not send it to the service center. but just to be safe people here are resetting their flash counter just in case they will send it to the service center for repair.

Hi, i was running a cm9 nightly, and I used this app, and it said it worked, after that I went in to download mode, and flash a stock rom using odin. I just need someone to conferm that this app defiantly works just as well as a usb jig, as I have to send my s2 off to be repaired (vibrator broke) through warranty. I know these questions are stupid, I just need to make absolutely sure that Samsung won't be able to tell that I have flashed about 100+ roms & kernels in the last 7 months. This is even more stupid question than the other questions, after I returned to stock rom, i went into download mode to see if everything looked fine (like counter extra), it did, but can Samsung see that I have been in download mode, since I returned everything back to stock please? :)

These are really stupid question, and I am sorry, but any help i will thank :D

There's some oddness going on with the writing and caching on the S4. You can get the current version to work with some effort though. This method sort-of works for me:

- reboot the phone

- wait 10 minutes

- open adb shell from computer

- type "su" in adb shell to get root

- start Triangle Away

- wait 15 seconds or so

- press "Reset flash counter"

- if you're lucky, the device didn't crash or reboot

- wait at least another 5 minutes to make sure the device doesn't reboot by itself (if it does, redo from start)

- type "sync" in adb shell

- wait another minute

- type "reboot" in adb shell

Then check if it stuck ... (assuming you are running a stock kernel)

Again, it can work ... it just often doesn't on the SGS4 .... working on it.

Hello Chainfire,

the first thing I thank you from my heart for the great work you have done for us with "Triangle Away".

I have my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 under warranty which is in bootloop.

I can only access Download mode and Recovery.

On the phone, however, I have the only picture of my daughter on her first birthday.

To save the photos I need to install the CWR and thereby increase the counter.

How can I do to reset the counter from the Download mode or recovery?

I thank you so much in advance.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blu422:
concerning warranty, I rooted my phone then noticed the volume jack was acting up, so with out using triangle away i sent it back and got a new GSIII through t-Mobile, my flash counter WAS tripped. I think rooting only voids your warranty to an extent, if you can find a way to convince them it was somehow a manufacturer defect or show them another defect completely unrelated that is only slightly a problem that came from the manufacturer, then you can get a new device shipped to you.

EDIT: Just to clarify I am in no way denouncing this app and the usefulness of it I reread my post and it seems that vibe comes off. Just to be clear I have bought and used this app a few times on a few different androids and would've for this earlier described situation had I been familiar with this app then.
