Counter can be reset later?

In the OP it is mentioned that counter will be incremented and we don't have a way to reset it now. If i flash this now, would i be able to reset it later without the need of any additional hardware(like the USB jig)?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
when i install the ROM, in CWM it say,

android secure not found, skipped...

i forgot the fulll names, but ICS is installed ???

will that be a problem ???
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Android secure is app related data, install some apps like nenamark, robotto u will see cwm will backup and restore asec files.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:

you guys had this error... ?? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] b99721:
Can someone confirm if this is available through OTA/Kies on Nordic Firmware?

Can someone confirm if ICS is available as OTA in Sweden or for Swedish firmware? I believe following is the latest firmware for Sweden (taken from SamMobile website, however can't post link due to low number of posts):

GT-I9103 | Nordic countries | 2011 July | Android 2.3.4 | I9103XXKG8 ## | I9103NEEKG8

My net is too slow (still downloading CWM package for 'leaked' ICS). Can someone download and flash this, and check for OTA/Kies ICS update?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
ICS isnt available via KIES nor OTA, just flash this if you are eager to taste ice cream sandwich, or wait till the flashable rom is out from sammobile !!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
Why do you think that the counter will be incremented? The OP only states we don't know how to null it. I rooted without increasing the counter (by flashing the superuser bundle on androidsu.com/superuser).

Yes. You can simply ignore that.

Thanks

But i already rooted by the guide posted by mj.vikram...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] rosemolr:
Thanks...

Thanks for your answers..But i'm a super noob..Like I didn't even know what exactly was CWM...After a bit of googling only i came to knw that is a advanced boot loader kinda thingy..

Well my phone is completely in Factory Condition which is having the rom which came as preloaded from Samsung.

I'am assuming that before starting anything with flashing i will have to root my device which pretty much break ma warranty.I bought ma phone in January so i still have warranty.

Questions:

Please bare with my "Noobness":)

I have installed almost 50 apps which took hours to download,Will it be possible if i want to revert to GB after loading ICS(with all the apps as preloaded).If yes,Which is the best way to back up both my ROM,SMS,APps and blah blah?

Do i need any special sort of hardware to reset the counter in my phone after rooting?or it is just a matter of flashing or abra kadabra?

If my understanding is correct installation step goes like this

1.Backup

2.Root Current ROM

3.Install CWM app from appstore

4.download ICS rom

5.Extract and Put ICS rom File in External SD

6.Boot into CWM recovery mode by pressing Blah blah keys

7.Restore ICS from CWM

8.Smile

One more question what if i uninstall CWM later..Will i be able to boot my phone?

Your answers are very much appreciated and i knw where is the thanks button in XDA :)

Hi,

I don't know if any one has noticed but the RAM has been decreased by 1 MB. 723 MB RAM is available now instead of 724 as it was in gb.

Also can anyone tell me how to take a screenshot? Our usual 'pressing both power and menu key simultaneously' is not working.

Thank you. :)

Currently I am using the NeoROM V 3.0 from Pankaj and my phone is already rooted.The kernel am using is ardatdat V1.8.3.Can i also directly flash the ICS ROM? Please tell me the procedure. I have downloaded the ICS ROM. 2nd step..I have taken the backup of the current system. What next...please guide me..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
CWM is a custom recovery made by Koushik Dutta. It enables you to restore your phone if you do something nasty with the installed rom.

You can backup all your apps and settings with a CWM backup. It is very easy.

If you do all the steps properly, you don't need any hardware (usb jig) to reset the binary counter since it will not increase by flashing a recovery.

1: You have to flash CWM. You can find a guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406541

2: After that, you reboot into CWM by powering on the device and at the Samsung boot logo you push Volume up + Home simultaneously.

3: You navigate into 'backup and restore' menu and do a backup of your system.

4: Download ICS rom and put it into /sdcard/extrenal_sd/clockworkmod/backups folder.

5: Go back to CWM and select 'wipe data/factory reset' and confirm it.

6: Navigate to 'backup and restore' and select 'restore' menu. There you should see two options. Select '2012-08-16.20.07.20' and confirm it. It starts restoring.

7: Reboot and wait for it to boot.

8: Enjoy ICS.

If you want to return to stock, get a stock rom for your country and flash with Odin. It will rewrite CWM too, so you are on full stock.

If you have any other questions, post here or PM me. Have a nice flashing! :)

Press power + home button for 2 seconds. The method has been changed.

In the rooting guide, there is missing that you have to MANUALLY mount system, or apply update 2 times, since the first one will mount system but will fail.

Buddy. While quoting, please quote only the necessary part. Not the entire post. It bumping the thread. And Yes while flashing, you have to mount manually and then flash the zip.

Galaxy R stock ROM backup before going to ICS

Hi,

Many thanks for your post, I am a new member and never flash a custom ROM on my device :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
My bad the position of the step I added a few minutes ago is wrong. Factory reset should be done after you make the backup i.e. The step has been interchanged by the backup step below it.

Hi,

Tried leaked swedish ICS on wifes GT-I9103. Everything went fine untill I made a factory reset, but after that phone stopped to turn on. Found GT-I9103_Dead_Repair_By_Xiaoyuz and decided to give it a try.

1. Successfully installed drivers

2. I see NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver in Device manager.

3. When i run the bat file i keep getting an error (see attached image)

4. Phone doesn't turn to download mode and if i remove battery, i can run bat file and still get an error.

5. Tried on Windows XP and 7. Even switched the antivirus off. Also downloaded Still no luck to restore phone.

Any ideas why script can't create partition?

If i will bring phone to service center, will they see that i had CWM and different ROM installed?

PS can anybody copy this post to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706572 ? I can't post in there...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
seems like after updating to ICS the unbricking tool doesnt works with device. (maybe ICS is changing bootloader related files i guess or its a bug like emmc bug in s2 but this one is different and maybe its bricking machine)

yes they will check custom binary counter, CWM, root access etc, flash stock FW of ur region before giving phone in service and also ensure that counter is zero.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sharchanas:
yes i understand that they will check it, but the question is will they see that there was CWM and ICS installed if the partition table are screwed up?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
ur phone is booting in downloading mod right?

so flash ur region stock FW through odin, it will replace current recovery, rom and kernel with stock ones, so now ur phone wont be having anything unofficial stuff which can lead u to voiding warranty. and also now they cant check that u have performed flashing on ur device.

just claim that everything was going fine and suddenly my phone went off and now its not starting, dont say anything about messing up with phone, act as u r just a normal user ;)

btw from where are u?

hi

is there any way to get stock ics launcher? not with touchwiz
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sharchanas:
If my phone would boot there would be absolutely no problems :)

The problem is, that its bricked. I can't turn it on, i can't start it in download mode. When i insert charger it shows nothing.

The only thing that i can do at the moment is to plug it to the PC and see it as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver... And to run script with error...

PS I am from Lithuania.

PPS Any ideas how to format/restore boot partition?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
u have hard bricked ur phone so do not worry just give ur phone in SSC and claim that its not booting up, they will try to unbrick using their official samsung tools and if that fails they will try changing mother board.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Oh ****! Did you do a factory reset in CWM after installation of ICS? If yes then it looks like you suffered from emmc brickbug. Seems like MMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled in every 4.0.4 firmware.

Your emmc chips are unchecked which means there's a potential risk of brick. Avoid wiping via CWM if you run ICS stock kernel. Restore stock GB direct before.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
If you are talking about USB jig, please tell which odin protocol do you have on your bootloader. Because cooleagle wants to know whether USB jig is working on ICS or not.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bluesky747:
A total noob question i know, but can i go back to my present state rom (stock rom) after flashing ICS and doing a cwm backup??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
i havent flashed ICS yet, i m outside of my home for studies and here managing with 2g so its likely impossible for me to download 200mb HUGE packages :D

in 2 weeks my high speed broadband will set up so i will be joining testing after that.

but other users have also tried factory restore on ICS with CWM but their phone is working properly, only 2 bricks are reported on ICS :confused:

is there could be another similar brick which is messing with hardware?. user mj.vikram recently bricked his R on ICS and he is unable to use unbricking tool and flashing stock rom via odin is also not doing trick for him, well he is getting nvflash.exe stopped working and than program crashes and here in this case nvfalsh fails to create partitions.

Hi m.kochan,

tried factory reset by entering *2767*3855# it succesfully rebooted, entered into welcome tutorial and got stuck after i provided my gmail credentials. When trying to boot it first time it showed samsung screen and did nothing. When i tried to power it on one more time i got absolutely no response. Then i tried unbricking tool. And here i am with an error and angry wife :)

Not sure if its a eMMC Brickbug because, before flashing ICS i installed eMMC BrickBug app and it showed: "NO. Sane chip".

Any ideas how to create boot and other partitions for GT-I9103 manually?

Phone is still under warranty, but i don't know if they can find out CWM and ICS thats installed in the phone.

Are there any other ways how to recover partitions in Android?

For galaxy s2 the leaked version came much much earlier... Then why not for SGR??? Guys if u know a samsung dev.. Kindly ask him.... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nRoof:
In case of SII, leaked ICS roms appeared due to a lot of interest from a lot of users. Let's hope to receive at least final rom, not ever mention pre-release builds.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Be careful what you wish for ;)

For example this weekend turned out to be a nightmare for many S2 users. Sammobile released a new LEAK for S2, 4.0.4 - very smooth and stable in daily use ....as long as you stay away from CWM. Once you wipe data/restore backups and bang = HARD BRICK! Even JTAG doesn't work, only motherboard replacement. I guess at least 40 hard bricks till now, so be careful with such releases, especially leaks.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Hmm... Maybe u are right... But...something is always better than nothing....

As of now... Seeing a test build can satisfy lot of us....even... The limited devs we have in our forum..can still make it somewhat usable...

I do not have this device. I have the Motorola Atrix 4G. LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G and Samsung Galaxy R are some of the phones that are highly capable of running ICS, but there is no indication of getting the update in the near future.

The reason: All these phones run the Tegra 2 AP20H chipset.

The culprit is Nvidia, not Motorola, Samsung or LG. Nvidia has not released the drivers/libraries for ICS, without which a fully functional ROM is impossible. You could see the difference. No Sony Ericsson or HTC phones use the Tegra 2 chipset. So does many of Samsung's top level phones. You can see that these phones are already receivng their ICS upgrade. Samsung, Moto and LG made a mistake of chossing Tegra 2 for their phones and we made a mistake of buying these phones. Now we've to wait till the idiots at NVidia release the drivers.
