i9505 MGA firmware

hello guys I just need some info.. I have just updated to MGA on my i9505 and rooted using CF-ROOT... I have everything on stock... okay.. once I run TA 3.0.1 under status it was showing OFFICIAL... after restart it shows CUSTOM... is this a bug? will this be fixed? is this normal? did anyone experience the same? :) thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] djcmn:
I havent gotten around to it yet but one day I will try this. I rooted and don't really care about the counter. Gonna buy this just because Chainfire deserves a beer. Love SuperSu Pro and the Cf Autoroot. Works great with Root Explorer and Titanium Backup as well as a few other root toys I have. Hope ya had a great vacation Chainfire!

Hey i just finished rooting my s3 and I read about TriangleAway but i don't quite understand what it's for.... Is this absolutely necessary for when we install custom roms? I always ask questions before doing anything i don't really understand :eek:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sarbe:
It's to help to set things back to normal if you need to send your phone back for any reason. I suggest you read up on it before doing anything with it.

yes, ICS only
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lycoss:
Thank you for you quick reply, i will test this after i install ICS then.. Thank you again for the info' !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Indodraakje:
I bought the Program, Why? because it's very handy, and if i keep flashing i'm always gonna use it. So you earned your beers! ^_^ Thank you very much :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ephraim:
But if you flash through cwm or mobile odin, the flash counter won't increase. It will only increase if you flash through odin (PC version).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] flydev:
great app CF, you're the best ;)

i'm still waiting my jig from dealextreme ... i bought like 1 month ago ... :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droid_1989:
So I used this, as my USB jig wasn't working, this did the trick.

Was just wondering if anyone has tried flashing back to GB after this - does it work fine?

I ask because I have nandroid backups of two GB roms I use, currently using DarkyRom which may be my daily ROM, but I like to have a backup to fall back on if needed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ephraim:
It's fine if you restore backup, flash through CWM or through mobile odin. The only thing that increases the counter is if you flash a custom kernel through odin (PC version). Other than that it's fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Indodraakje:
@ephraim033 - There are some releases like Litening, where i do have to flash through odin. i'd rather flash through my computer then my phone:) (i do use wanamlite for cwm) but we'll see ^_^v
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ayasystems:
thanks!! Now i don't have triangle!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ogy77:
I flash yesterday ICE rom LPQ with Odin then root with CF root and then flash CM9 nigthly,can I use now this app triangle way,becouse I have ICS bootloaders?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] herrfisk:
I can confirm that this works with the latest nordic release LPQ, with CF-root installed.

Thanks for your hard work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pesaroso:
Dumb question; I tried this today, and it worked! Now my triangle is gone, and the flash count is back to zero :)

EDIT: Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 with official Samsung ICS (LPQ) with CF-ROOT.

Is it now "safe" to use on my phone since it worked, or can it mess up if I flash another ROM/kernel and trying this app later on?

Does it work on my phone no matter what due to my hardware ID's (or something), or is it software dependent as well?

Kind regards, love it! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lycoss:
Indeed!

Indeed, i successfully did that too!

I did a little more actually, i made a backup for my Android 2.3.5 with CF-Root,

After that i installed ICS with CF-Root,

And then i reset binary counter with triangleaway application,

After that i restored the Android 2.3.5 backup in Recovery mode,

It restored all, but the modem was still from ICS,

So in CWM Manager application i selected "Flash stock firmware" (Flash stock firmware from Ext.SD with part selection and optional pre-rooting)

And i flashed the stock ROM files, but replaced stock kernel with CF-Root Kernel,

After that i entered Recovery mode and restored my Android 2.3.5 backup again,

So now i have Android 2.3.5 with CF-Root installed and my Custom Binary Download Count is 0. :D

Trying this now.

The app says

triangle: visible (it is)

flashcounter : 1 (which it is )

Device says : GT-I9100T Mine is a GT-I9100 with no T..

is it still safe to do it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sekhargreen:
It is not safe if not matching with your model no.

Try again!

Not working on S4 - CM 10.2 - CWM

Hello...

On SG4 9505 with CM10.2 and CWM recovery touch:

I'm trying to use Triangle Away Playstore version and on each reset counter my phone is:

- Bootsplash with blue "boot recovery" and after few seconds...

- Boot in CM 10.2

After that a check on Triangle Away gives a same flash count (no reset effective)... And my Recovery Bootloader don't wants to work.

So I had to flash it again with CW Rom Manager to recover it again.

Do I missunderstood something ? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Omgaan:
You need the original recovery and a original kernel to get triangle away to work. But there should be a msg if you start the app...

Flash them before with odin and you should be fine. But only if you try to get it back to stock, else there is no reason to use this app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GravuTrad:
The problem is the same for lots of versions (mga for example). We must only wait to chainfire news and not to ask him again and again. The patience is the only way now for us little people with no capacities. let doing the genius lol...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pierre.ristic:
Indeed: I'm using it to going back to the original, so I started with reseting counter... I see that I did too early

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D200P13:
how do i confirm the flash counter? under status the counter says 1 with custom binary but i have flashed 3 roms more than a couple of times. wondering if i can confirm it another way...?

Check Status Option not working

I bought this app from google play store yesterday. When I tried the Current Status option it does not work. However it points me to do Reset Flash Counter option. Why?

I have SGS3 GT-19300 phone, rooted and TWRP recovery (2.6.1). When I was running this app for the first time it asked me to install add on, which I did.

It will be nice to know why Current Status option is not working.

Is there support for galaxy s4 active GT-I9295?

I'm scared to try....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Questioning the instructions won't get you anywhere - following them will.

Choose between OTAs and root. Also, quoting the entire opening post is considered extremely bad form, when a moderator catches you doing it several times, you will be in trouble.

Wait for the next update, then try. Worst case, you have to re-flash your firmware.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ironman38102:
please add support for my device because currently my download mode will say that bin is custom and system is also custom.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlamba:
What is a special bootmode? I have seen video on you tube which clearly shows when "Current Status" option is selected, it display the information. When I do the select this option nothing happens. I do not understand you about following them. I do not want to keep going into Reset Flash counter option every time.

I am not trying to be sarcastic so please do not get me wrong.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
FYI, I did look at them, but I've not seen any reference to where the counter might be. This is a different class of device than currently supported by Triangle Away, it will at least not be in the upcoming update.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ranveer5289:
Hey Chainfire, sorry to ask but any update on galaxy S4 i9500 international version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
There is nothing more I can add than the app is already telling you - if you want to review that information, you have to press the reset flash counter button and reboot. No amount of YouTube or "not wanting to do it" is going to change that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
No. The situation has not changed, and it is unlikely that it will.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ranveer5289:
Thanks for the reply :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ironman38102:
Its a phone having spreadtrum SC6820 so yeah hard to hack :( im happy though u tried to find but I would love if u try to find it because I need to take to service centre and I didnt knew about the stupid samsung security in my device so If u want I could help in dumping. So ur saying it doesnt have a special boot block?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tmac31:
hi and thank you for this special app. wanted to ask you something on i9300 with googy max kernel and cwm can we just reset counter and and without doing whole reboot just go to download mod and flash a stock rom will everything go official or it will keep modified status? after reset and going to download mod says samsung official if ?

another way can i just flash stock rom then root and reset counter then wipe and flash stock rom again to get rid of root? will it get me to official status and 0 flash counter?

thank you for your help cant really find a proper way? i will go to warranty i just want to use 4.0 bootloader as last chance because of sds im going to warranty for it too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
It probably does, but it'd take a lot of work to find it, even if I had the device myself.

You can try dumping entire mmcblk0 and uploading that to dropbox or whatever.

Reset flash counter in Triangle Away, so it reboots to the special mode, press the button to reset the counter, then read on-screen and reboot to "download mode". In download mode, flash stock firmware with Odin. Boot up your device. Go through the setup wizard (if presented with it).Wait 10 minutes. Boot into download mode again and verify all is official.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] trychandan:
Sorry for that but I was not knowing the same. Could u pls help me how to enable the work around option.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ironman38102:
How do I do that? Could u tell me the command for dumping it using adb?

Sent from my shining katana
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tmac31:
thank you for answer but problem is when in triangle away it doesnt reboot to special mode. i just press reset counter and it does its thing resets counter too but phone dont reboot automatically after reset it just say flash counter reseted and exit app after i press ok its all it does. is it about kernel or something or should i just flash stock rom 1st then try triangle away?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sarbe:
Sounds like you have a kernel that supports TA and it does it by the app rather than having to reboot.

Didn't work for me in international 9505 with stock recovery and stock DMH8 kernel... after i use reset counter, my phone just reboot (upper left corner say RECOVERY BOOTING...) and boot up normal, after that recovery disappeared. I mean, i dont have any recovery after use rest option and need to flash it agaih to have recovery on my phone. How can i boot to special mode?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlamba:
So Check Status option is not working?

So check status option is not working then? Only one option works Reset Flash Counter. It was pointless paying for this app via Google Play.

Anyone know how to deal with "Could not extract assets !" in the latest version of triangle away?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ssss25:
I now see the status after update on i337m

There is an option which I don't understand though:

Periodic system modified reset

Its checked by default but I don't get it. I notice at random times I see the message that triangle away used root and I think this is why but I don't understand what the option does.

Thanks...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] z-vet:
I know it was asked in this thread several times, but it never got answered so i ask it again: why TA is always running in background? I disabled «Periodic system modified check» in options so i really don't understand the reason for it to run. I can uninstall the app of course since i don't need it atm and can always install it again from Play Store, but first i'm curious and second, maybe it's a bug? Thanks. :)

Hey Chainfire, does the new update (3.05) include support for N5105 ?

As I wrote before, N5105 is identical to N5100 in hardware. I just need Triangle Away to support its name.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GravuTrad:
The last triangle away 3.05 is doing rebooting my I9505 MGA XEF phone again and again. Supersu has lost all the rights given and i had to re-authorize all but it seems not given me the time to do it and so maybe this eternal rebooting.....

No possibilities to supersu to scan root applications to give them the rights in only one scan of it?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NZgeek:
Read the thread. You're probably going to be waiting a very, very, very, very, very long time.

Samsung have done things differently with the i9500 and Chainfire simply cannot twiddle the necessary bits to reset the warranty counters. It's not a matter of needing more time - it just cannot be done with what he knows about the phone at this point in time. Unless some major new info surfaces, the i9500 may never be supported.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nfribeiro:
This has nothing to do with Triangle Away or SuperSu. It is a limitation given by google for Android 4.0+. It is explained in the message!!!

To run some apps that writes apn, that app must be inside system/apps and not data/apps.

I can't tell you if it will work with this particular app but try no move there, change the permissions, reboot and try.

The phone says it boots into recovery, then it reboots and goes into download mode.

When I turn it off and turn it on again it does the same thing again, I cannot boot into Android anymore.

Did it brick it?

also the second time when it boot to download mode,press the power botton until the phone reboot again....then the third time it boot normaly

Chainfire, you too need to pay more attention to us loyal customers! I paid for all your apps man because they are awesome and i really wanted you to enjoy your beer, just like i enjoy mine. All i ask for is a simple answer. I know you busy but so am i, believe me, and if i ask questions here it's because i didn't get it using Google or local search.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NZgeek:
I would hazard a guess that even though it's running, it's just sitting there doing nothing. The option to do periodic resets probably just turns on a system alarm, and it's this alarm that triggers the reset. No alarm, no reset.

Having the app run in the background like this shouldn't cause any problems. It'll only use a little bit of memory and practically zero CPU. If in doubt, freeze the app and defrost it as needed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] z-vet:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tianhe:
My guess would be that you have ticked "Allow tracker to run" which possibly checks for device status to remain official even if root requiring apps try to make it custom. You can always use Greenify!

After installing Dorimenx Kernel via ODIN yellow triangle appeared in my boot screen. I have GT I9100 with PAC MAN 4.2. Now if I use Remove Yellow Triangle to only to remove the triangle without resetting the binary counters can it result into bricking phone or not. And once installed and the job done, will removal of the app have any effect of resetting the yellow triangle.
