[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
This is basically an FYI, for those, like me, who didn't know.

I was on omega v5.2, and had (1) in the flash counter (due to flashing CF root via ODIN).

-I Used triangle away to reset

-And I ended up on:

Custom bin: No

Current bin: Sam official

System status: Official

Whilst being on Omega v5.2.

I then went ahead and flashed, via CWM Omega 6.0 and still retained the same (as above) status.

Here is a video of what I mean:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jonny68:
Most know this already but thanks for the video for those who might not know :good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
No problem.

Out of interest, how do most know it?

I mean was it similar on the S2?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] _stefans_:
I wonder why your phone reacts so quickly when you press the home button - are you using a different launcher?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
I'm using Zeam launcher - for the home button lag - disable the home button when pressed for S-voice.

I also got transitions & pop-ups set to 0.5x rather than 1x (in dev options under settings)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ShironLive:
So if the phone get damaged/bricked and i sent it off to Samsung, they wont know that i had a custom rom on it when it was damaged/Bricked ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
pretty much yeah :)

As long as you can't get the device to boot, neither will they, and if they get it into download mode - hey presto your "official" even though you're on a custom rom :p
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kLONkRIEGER90:

THX but i mean how he do it after the triangle, did he just flash the Omega 6 and the CWM on it an that was it ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
In the OP it was written:

I was on omega v5.2, and had (1) in the flash counter (due to flashing CF root via ODIN).

-I Used triangle away to reset

-And I ended up on:

Custom bin: No

Current bin: Sam official

I then went ahead and flashed, via CWM Omega v6.0 and still retained the same (as above) status.

Thus yes.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ahac85:
Mine says the following

Custom bin: No

Current bin: Samsung official

System status: Custom

why is status showing custom, should it not say official?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
No idea - it should be official, if on stock etc.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ahac85:
well im on a stock deodexed rom, but im guessing no matter what rom it should say official?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
its because you're on deodexed....

Doesn't matter - unless you send it in for warranty.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ahac85:
so will any custom rom show system status as custom, because the video in the first post states hes using a custom rom and his system status is official? and any official samsung firmware it change it back to official.

EDIT: just flashed insecure kernel to bump up the binary counter to +1 and now used triangle away and its reporting:

Custom bin: No

Current bin: Samsung official

System status: Offical.

It appears there may have been an issue when trying to reset it with triangle away.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
there wasn't any issue...you were on a deodexed rom, and thus why it was set as custom.

Now you reset it, it's fine.

In terms of flashing -again depends how you flash it....watch the video I explain everything in it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kinnyfaifai:
Apologies for being a total noob on this topic.

From what you've explained flashing via ODIN increments counter and flashing via CWM doesn't?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
basically yes - but if flashing a stock rom = no.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gaspernemec:
I red something about this in chainfires post, dunno which one (one with cwm and root or triangle away) but he wrote that system status wont change wont work in every rom he said it works in LF8 but not guaranteed for others
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kinnyfaifai:
Sweet! Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ph3nom:
i'm a noob to this "triangle away" since i never owned a samsung phone and never use this feature on my previous HTC devices.

I'm running stock XXBLFB ROM with CF root

Kernel: Siyah 1.3.8 (I read Siyah suppot Triangle away, But i wanna to make sure before installing Triangle Away and proceed further)

I flashed a custom kernel via odin but lately with CMW zip.

Will flashing through CMW increase counter? (I read that flashing through Mobile Odin not increase counter?)

how to use Triangle away to reset this counter?

Thx
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
that's correct, via mobile odin -> it doesn't

via cwm -> it doesn't

and use it as shown in video
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ph3nom:
Rom: XXBLFB Rooted with CF-Root

Kernel: Siyah Kernel 1.3.8

Flash Counter reset with Triangle away succeeded

Custom Bin: No

Current Bin: Samsung Official

System Status: Official
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
happy days then.

Out of interest go to:

Settings -> about device -> status -> right at the bottom, what's under "device status"?

Mine's modified (but I haven't reset)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ph3nom:
Still Modified. Maybe you need to do factory reset and flash stock Rom to change the "device status"?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
now that's interesting.

I presume you'de need to flash stock and then factory reset.

But, don't do so, you shouldn't worry.

FYI

using factory reset via settings or stock recovery, wipes int sd
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ph3nom:
not gonna do factory reset. no need too. until need to return for service
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dr.m0x:
You are correct. A factory reset is required to return to full stock status. I did some testing last week as a purely academic exercise to satisfy myself that it is possible to return to stock, unmodified status in case of the need to sell or warranty the phone.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
great, thanks for the input :)

I knew a factory reset must do the trick, although on a custom kernel -> not sure.

That said...factory resets are a pain in the backside, as they wipe your INT SD (unless done via CWM recovery)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Incarniac:
Not that it's needed, but just to confirm that it works - I did this to replace mine (faulty camera): Reset counter using TriangleAway, flashed the stock ROM (in my case the H3G/3 UK one), did a factory reset (from stock recovery) - the phone was back to total stock state.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
legend thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Incarniac:
One more thing: I had used Voodoo Galaxy S III SIM Unlock, which makes modifications to nv_data.bin on the /efs partition. Just to be on the safe side I used EFS Pro to restore the NV data from the internal NV backup that's on the /efs partition as I didn't have a full /efs backup prior to using SIM Unlock. This is the "Attempt NV Recovery" button from within EFS Pro, which worked a treat (afterwards Voodoo SIM Unlock showed the lock was back in pace).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ph3nom:
Awesome, Thanks for confirming this
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] redondogabriel:
i have flashed only original firmware, my phone is dbt (germany), but i have flashed spain and uk firmware via Odin, and the download mode shows "System Status: Custom", why?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] khaaba:
May be original firmware which you claim might be a modified firmware! See the Custom Download Status by pressing Vol-down+Power+Home after switching off mobile first, and then press Vol-up.

To restart the phone from download mode, keep pressing Power button for 8 Sec! Hope this clears your doubt!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] redondogabriel:
it says samsung official or something like that, i'm pretty sure that all the firmwares that i have flashed have been officials ones

System status: Custom after using triangle away

Guys I seriously need help with this its doing my head in! i have rooted, used triangle away flashed stock firmware using odin my custom binary download changes to No but after flashing stock rom system status says custom I need to return this phone to samsung for warranty and cant get the system status to say official...

I rooted by flashing Cf-Auto Root md5

then flashing philz touch md5 to install CWM

after this i install triangle away, download required files for TA and reset the counter if I go immediately into download mode it says:

Product Name: GT-i9305

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

once i flash stock rom using odin (im using I9305TDVBMA2_I9305TTELBLL1_I9305TDVBLL3_HOME.tar.md5) i go into recovery wipe cache and wipe data factory restore

after this download mode shows the following:

Product Name: GT-i9305

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

Am I missing something? Mixing something up? Any help would be appreciated.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

after checking the status every 5 secs I have come to the conclusion that the system status only changes after the wipe data factory reset....
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
you need to ensure you're on a stock rom with STOCK recovery.

Make sure it's a recovery that was published don kies too.

Could be to do with KNOX BS that was implemented too - so look around that subject too.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] angelshie:
...you have to downgrade first boot loader search on it how.

...then I stall triangle away

...then flash official rom via ODIN

...check your status by manually going to download mode

...it should be official now and no download counter.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SaschaKH:
I think you have two options:

1. Install the Samsung recovery.

2. Install old boot loader and hope that the suport ppl don't get it that there is a custom recovery on it (that voids warranty).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Dhanabalan:
Hi Guys,

My flash counter is not resetting to '0' even i have tried more than 5 times. I'm in sokp rom 4.4.2 runs on twrp & sokp kernel. Can anyone pls shed light on this.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TotallydubbedHD:
you do realise why right?

If you're on STOCK rom and STOCK KERNEL with STOCK recovery, then your counter will be 0 - not if you're on a custom rom...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Dhanabalan:
Thanks for your kind & swift reply. I just wanted to make sure that it is not possible on custom roms..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
As has been stated, an official release is required for source code (at least, thats how Samsung does it).

Source code allows tweaking of the kernel for things like over clocking (which is probably the most OVERRATED functionality that tweaking the kernel will provide - case in point, give me a real world application where the Note isnt fast enough - its fine if you want to look at numbers but that is as useless to me as the Windows Experience Index - its a waste of time) and potentially correcting some of the issues this phone has (black crush and inaccurate stylus).

But, as is the usual case, the people that CANT seem to understand this will continue to make the usual 'just flash a custom rom and be done with it' statements. There are a few of us that are fine with the official rom. I think Samsung has done a decent job with Touchwiz and the software FROM SAMSUNG is actually good. Rooting and removing of the ATT crap however is something I have been considering.

I WILL say that a REAL version of Cyanogen would be great, Im just not interested in it until they have some source code for the kernel and can actually do a real build.

With the official release of ICS for the Galaxy S2 having come just yesterday, and the fact that it REQUIRES flashing via Kies (Samsung's version of Itunes), Im guessing the Note is only a week or two away.

How is it you can get so butt-hurt over a guy defending another user you made unfounded and racial claims about? You started a foolish thread without (apparently) doing any sort of research and are now upset with your responses?? Dude, this is a forum!! What'd you expect??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
How about we all realize this is a forum filled with people you'll never meet. I hate weeding through these threads that have a bunch of insults going back and forth. None of this is really that serious.

And for those of you that like to insult others in forums, just please stop. Talking trash through a screen is so 1990s when cyber bullying wasn't taken seriously.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
How are my comments being racial? And why are you and a couple others so hurt about me making fun of someone who in turn was doing the same thing, but just on YouTube? Drop your double standards and see things for what they are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
Cyber bullying, if taken serious at any point, be it the 90s or now, shows lack of self esteem and confidence. I understand when kids fall prey to it but these big babies on this forum? *sigh*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Sorry I posted that video. I was just trying to share a laugh to soften all the anxiety over the ICS release, and the numerous threads we have complaining about it. I don't know how that turns into a bickering thread about the race of the person in the video.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TJBunch1228:
Don't apologize man, the video was appropriate and would normally serve to lighten the mood anywhere. Unfortunately the OP didn't like being made fun of so he defended himself by insulting the guy in the video directly (incorrectly, mind you, as has been addressed).

I mean, insulting someone who is ACTUALLY foreign and who ACTUALLY has broken English is bad enough, but Zedomax is clearly American, and is more articulate than half of the OPs posts.

I don't think the OP is racist, I think he's just kind of an idiot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
Response –1: HA. I'm just gonna rest my case by saying that I don't think you're obese, I just think that all those fat globules have seeped into your head.

Take your pick.

Are there any sense 4.0 roms available?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrothaJINC:
Y do you ask? Look before posting
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arizonaomnia:
No need to be rude.

The Sense 4.0 framework only works on ICS, which is why no one has ported it from the One X to Gingerbread for the Thunderbolt (or any other Gingerbread ROM). When we get a working RIL or an official leak/release from Verizon or HTC, I'm sure we will see someone strip the Sense 3.6 from the Thunderbolt ICS leak and replace it with a ported Sense 4.0 from the One X or other new HTC device.
