[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
You'll have to reflash stock recovery after you pulled the battery on Triangle Away. It takes a ridiculously long time to boot, but by pulling the battery you have messed up your recovery partition (probably)

As for updates, it sounds so bloody obvious when you think about it... run unmodified software if you want to receive updates (flash back stock firmware). If you want modified software (root, etc) then you don't get updates, and you have to update manually using firmware files.

Enjoy the brewski brother :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rhattangdi:
Thanks Chainfire for the almost instantaneous reply. :)

A few questions though from a relative newb:

1. Since I was able to run the Triangle away successfully the second time, does it mean that my stock recovery is ok? or should I reflash CF-Autoroot again (as it says it flashes stock recovery)?

2. In case I want updates, it is obvious that I have to flash the stock firmware. I did manage to locate a site that stores the firmware but would you /anyone give me the exact steps to flash back the original firmware. Would doing a factory reset do the same job as re-flashing the original firmware?

I am using rooted N7100, when i boot with triangle away, it say im in custom and counter is 1, so i use it to reset, but after i check again, it still the same.

Note: I don't flash nothing in download mode, only ROM in stock.

i'm happy :)) thanks XDA!!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stryke_the_Orc:
Use odin to flash a completely stock ROM/kernel, it will fix any issues your recovery may have, as well as allow for updates. You will however lose root privileges and will need to re-root your phone should you so desire.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
1. It depends on how you rooted your phone and if you have flashed a custom recovery.

2. Firstly, factory reset is not the same as reflashing. Secondly, to flash back. You just place the tar file in PDA and flash without messing with the other options. If that was not clear enough. I would highly recommend you to search in youtube for video tutorials from aphroditelikesme or totallydubbedhd both make awesome videos and I wish you happy flashing! :)

Is it normal that triangle away resets the counter without booting in download mode on galaxy s3 international?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rhattangdi:
Thanks to Stryke_the_Orc and crazbanditz for your responses.

Here's how I fixed it.

- Re-flashed the CF AutoRoot

- Ran the triangle away

- cleared cache then data and then cache (again)

- Rebooted

And now I get the status as "Normal" and my updates work again with Root. :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] anonymous572:
I have same problem. Here is thread. Look's like it's now checking the ROM every boot. Hope Chainfire will fix that.

I use triangle from google play on my sg2 xwlp7, after rooting with cf root. Custom disappear.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bogdan1980:
i just did this few days ago: rooting for the first time on android, on IOS im expert:))

I use triangleaway from google play on my sg2 xwlp7 4.0.3, bought it august 2012, before rooting with cf root.

I use LP7 cf-root for XWLP7 official room.

Custom disappear, official is says YES in download mode, with triangleaway v2.05 i think,

Today, free day from work, because WIFI freeze on this XWLP7 room and i need to restart over and over( i have 2 identical phones me and wife with same room) i put XWLPY 4.0.4 on my SG2 with ODIN PC 1.8.5, then cf-root LPY, binary count 1 appear with custom, install triangle from gplay, and it says that

current status cannot be determined. You need to reboot into special download mode, i done that, triangle icon dissapear from image boot, also binay is 0, and official.

What i want to say is this: with XWLP7, TriangleAway apps find Custom and binary to 1, but reset binary in normal download mode.

With XWLPY, TriangleAway apps could not find any custom, enter into special mode, all are ok.

But when i saw that: status cannot be determined , i was thinking that i done it again.It was like staying near an owen...i get all sweat:))

EDIT: after few reboots binary is still 0 and official( because i read that on some phones binary is reseting after reboot, but i dont know if this is for my 9100 or 9300, just want to say that)

On IOS all are differents, coming to Android is to much new stuff that make me dizzy.

Chainfire, your a god, hehe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
No, HERE is the thread. You will not get any TriangleAway support in any other thread than this. Because THIS is the TriangleAway thread. Why would we want to spread problems and solutions all across the board instead of in the dedicated thread for it ?

Now, please find your exact firmware on SamFirmware.com and link me to it, and I shall try it on my Note2. But beware, if I waste my time on this and it ends up that you have not properly read or followed the instructions ...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpwsource:
What about support for Korean Note 2 SHV-e250l/s/k? It gave me the "cannot locate hidden partition" error.

Any advice?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Narhim:
To check your counter go to download mode. If you go via triangle you'll see 1 because as far as I get it for the counter to wipe another (special mode) Rom has to be flashed, resulting in counter increase...

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Chainfire please remain calm.

Everybody else, please use the search field and search button to find out your answers... Most of em already got answered and the fact that you are lazy to read few pages does not excuse you spamming the same questions over and over again... If you don't know how to flash custom or stock recovery with root, stop trying and start using your phone the way the manufacturer intended it to be used.

If you still start "trying to brick your phones" remain calm and patient. When the boot screen shows Samsung for 30s don't pull the battery... Wait for another minute or two. If you have to pull it, make full wipe after and / or flash stock Rom from Sammobile via odin.

The New you are set to try again. Had to do it 2 times already and after this 2 approaches I have stock rooted sgn2 with system custom, the rest is official / no.

For the system to get official, go to recovery, then wipe cache, data and cache again... Reboot and do not update via ota (won't work or you'll loose root).

Good luck everyone. I'm off with the hitchhikers DON'T PANIK!

(if you still should manage to brick your phone, get a jigtag... And never ever try to root again, it's just nothing for you ;))
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Clark789:
Hi,

can you please explain a little more detailled how you did it? Especially "cleared cache then data and then cache (again)". Because i di the same way and i can't do an update OTA....

The automatic reset at boot option is missing in the latest version ?

Hi,

Today I have to buy Triangle Away v2.26 from "Play store" and run it on my note2.

I want to test the option "automatic reset at boot" to reset counter "system status" and "flash counter" and made note2's status is an official-status alway, Althought my note2 are in root + CWM .

But I can't found these menu. What is wrong ? :confused:

I've gone back to Stock-Rom, root - triangle away.

Now everything is offiicial again,

ive flashed stock rom to disable root and CWM, and uninstalled the Triangle Away now its packed and ready to send it to repair.

I've missed to look in system directory for data of triangle away... is everything gone with the uninstall or do i have to unpack it again to delete all stuff? (I've made a factory reset from the stock rom)

I don't want to pay for the repairing cause i've rooted the device :(

Hi Chainfire I've purchased your mobile Odin and triangle away pro versions I support your work, I now have the Galaxy Note 2 SGH-l317m with Rogers here in Canada, which is also the same as the att note 2 that is releasing shortly for the USA. I'm now rooted on the sgh-l317m is there any chance adding support for our devices to Mobile Odin and triangle away? Anything you require from me? I've tried triangle away but I get the: are you sure your using ics and can't find hidden partition error. Hope this helps or I can help in any info required thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kiwinadians:
I second Turilo's thanks and request. Seems like a lot of Canadian users on the 317m variant are out of the blocks before a lot of AT&T Customers. This affects all users on the Bell, Telus, and Rogers networks here in Canada, and like the i717 & i717m variants for the first Note, I think the only difference is in the APNs. Anything you need as far as dumps or info just send a request with the process involved and I'm sure we'll have several people willing to help.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Not sure why, but the sources for the Note2 isn't out yet. We do have Sprint and T-Mobile sources already. While Mobile ODIN can get support without sources, Triangle Away does need sources for this family of devices.

I've also not received any AT&T nor Candian Note2 Mobile ODIN dump files yet, and stock firmware is still missing in action as well.

So to recap, I need three things, and so far have zero:

- Kernel source

- Stock firmware (specifically: recovery, but if I say stock recovery, ten thousand people will send me CWM images)

- Mobile ODIN dump file

For some other models the US variants are interchangable, but I know there are some important differences between Sprint and TMOUS versions, so I'm not assuming any compatibility between those and the AT&T/Canadian variant. Also note that Triangle Away has support for Sprint and TMOUS already, but Mobile ODIN does not. I will start on that sometime this week I think.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] turilo:
Thanks for the quick reply Chainfire! Your correct still no source for the stock firmware, hasn't been released by Samsung yet as usual. lol your right all i have is a CWM backup of my ROM but i do have a Mobile Odin dump file, not sure if you just want it here or any info on it i need to worry about? :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pakalrtb:
Hi Chainfire, first of all my respect for you. Met you the first time on the original galaxy tab ( P1000 ) forum where we all troubled with locked bootloader of some leaked FW. :D:D:D

Sorry to highjack this thread but it looks like there's more Galaxy Note 2 users than GS2 now :D

I have used your TA to reset the counter of my newly unboxed Galaxy Note 2 :D . I am on Stock UBALJ1 rooted with CF-Autoroot and Stock Kernel. I opened TA and it immediately asked to confirm that my device was indeed a GT-N7100 . BUT on Current Status it says that it cannot be determined ( I was hoping that since it recognized the device it would also be able to read the status) . Anyhow I hit the Reset Flash counter button and the device boot in the special recovery mode. (got new bootloader , since I can read GT-N7100 in the booting image ) . At this point Flash Counter shows 1 ( Expected ) but Binary Status shows Custom ( I was expecting official ) . Anyhow I hit the Volume Up to reset ( the app shows a line saying 'resetting flash counter and status ) and after a couple of seconds ( shoud it be that quick ? ) the phone reboot normally. I go back again to TA , just to check that it did reset the counter but NO, it still shows 1 and custom. As per dr Ketan guide I went into stock recovery and wiped cache + factory data reset + wipe cache again. Reboot the phone download and run TA again, BUT it still shows 1 and custom :crying: .

1) is it normal that despite recognizing the device TA still needs the special recovery to read the status of the phone ?

2) Does the resetting process only take 2 seconds ?

3) Any suggestion on what can possibly have gone wrong ?

P_

EDIT : My mistake: I was launching the Download mode from an ADB command. This way the Odin Mode red menu with the lines displaying the Custom binary count etc etc was NOT showing, due to the fact that the phone was connected to the USB port of the PC.

TA had already worked perfectly, it's all good!

Thanks again for your work, I donated buying the PRO version of Mobile Odin.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] edwoo:
Hi chainfire or anyone else who can help,

I've used CF auto root to root my SGS3 I-9300 and then purchased TA from play store to reset the counter and status. It worked like a charm and I was able to get Official OTA update to jelly bean recently. Since I used OTA rootkeeper to protect the rooting, I've also used it to restore root after my update to jellybean.

After restoring root via OTA rootkeeper, I used TA to reset counter and status but this time, the status was not reset and still showed modified.

My question is how am I able to reset the status so that I can continue to get OTA updates in the future? Did I miss any steps or I should not use OTA rootkeeper to preserve and restore root when I should actually be executing CF auto root again after the jellybean update?

Thanks everyone in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rhattangdi:
You need to boot into recovery. You will then get the options to clear the cache and data.

I have the exclaimation mark icon on the upper left corner of boot screen. I am using a I9300 international. I have searched and saw a post by chainfire regarding this but he said that this should not happen on i9300 but will on i9305 and so on. Any ideas? Thanks. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kiwinadians:
Thanks Chainfire,

I'm assuming the Kernel source we will just have to bide our time and wait for. However, the stock recovery, can that be pulled by a dump of the recovery partition (i.e. dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/recovery.img, where # = recovery partition, to find recovery cat /proc/mtd)? I am not currently rooted, so I can't perform a dd, but is this what you are looking for?

Possibly this is something you could pass his way Turilo?

Thanks again for all the work you do for the community Chainfire.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Actually it seems this might now also happen on I9300 with recent bootloaders. Stock kernel + stock recovery + triangle away might take care of it (but it might back when you flash custom kernel or recovery)

My own I9300 doesn't have this behaviour, so I'm just making a very educated guess here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Yes, of course it can be dumped with dd. But you need root to do it, and by far most people root by flashing a custom recovery, which makes it impossible to retrieve the stock recovery. You'll get CWM instead - you don't want to know how many dd's of CWM I have in my mailbox... lol

As for sources, you AT&T users should harass Samsung about it - you do have a right to these sources.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
I guess you are right. The counter increases itself every reboot so I guess the only way to fix it is to:

1. Triangle away.

2. Shut down.

3. Boot into download mode(Shud be still 0 official and official)

4. Flash stock ROM and stay that way

?

Well it doesnt really matter I dont really care about it nor the flash counter. I am just enquiring for future knowledge and for others here that is having this (issue?) I guess? :) Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kiwinadians:
Thanks for the reply, this was my assumption. I didn't want to fill up your inbox with yet another useless dump. Ignorance can be a b#tch sometimes eh. I agree on the rights.

I read your comments elsewhere about processors and your praise foe TI, and I agree with your disgust at many of the draconian companies working with Android. I've been part of the gtablet community for a while, and we were hung out to dry by Viewsonic and Nvidia. So instead good hardworking people like yourself have to donate countless hours to cracking Android open. My hat is tipped to you.

the other problem is that there is no update to ics (until now) and also no CM version ... does this mean i can never restore the warranty I lost with rooting (i used a procedure in which the yellow triangle appeared) ? :(

Whats the point of having a Triangle Away on Galaxy Note II, if it works only on stock kernels and roms? I always thought it's created for custom roms with root and cwm...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
The point is having root without warranty issues (not CWM specifically). Being able to run with a 0 counter and no visual warning is important for me to stay stock kernel/recovery, but if it isn't, at least you can reset everything to normal when you need to warranty or sell your phone.

According to my numbers, by far most users of my apps are in the same category as me: stock + root. And those are the people I cater to.

But now can you clear up my quesiton on this page ?

Can i use mobile odin + triangle away for permanently set up status to official ?

My idea is

user triangle away -> mobile odin flash official firmware to official status.

thx for helping me figure this out.
