[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeesStolk:
About Triangle Away, new bootloader and recovery.

There are 2 S3 in the house, mine, bought on 27 may 2012 and the wifes bought in July 2012.

Both S3 have the new bootloader and Omega V37 running.

But the wife's S3 is still using the official 6.0.2.7 recovery, not the one patched by Philz as i used on mine.

Both phones when entered recovery will trigger the counter, red marker and so on.

A little bit annoyed that wifes phone had all official after running Triangle Away and my lovely S3 was

Custom Binary download: no

Current binaries: official

System status showed custom.

So was fiddling around some to see if i can get it all official.

Flashed bootloader XXALE8 again, used the restore zip Chris_84 provided. Just flashed it from recovery.

Very easy and nice, i did looked at the thread about restoring the bootloader and after reading some stuff, i decided i am still a noob and just use the recovery zip .

Rebooted, checked with Android System Info if and the flash was successful, was seeing/saying Bootloader XXALE8.

Run TA again to reset it all and after done and rebooted, used the 3 combo buttons to go into download mode.

Still got the same, System Status: Custom.

Oke then.

Flashed the official cwm 6.0.2.7 recovery again and see what this brings.

After rebooting a few times and trying TA a few times, still no change.

With this combo, i can enter recovery and flash stuff without triggering the counter.

But this is/was not my goal.

So i used pc odin to flash the latest bootloader again and see what it gives with the "old" 6.0.2.7 recovery.

Again, used TA a couple of times, rebooted a few times etc.

No changes made to system status.

Decided to flash Philz recovery again and still the same.

It's no biggy, but just a bit annoying especially when the wifes S3 all is saying official with the same combo.

The only thing that is different is that i didn't flashed Philz recovery on her phone.

So, next step to compare, flash Philz recovery on wifes phone.

Flashed without problems, rebooted a couple of times, used TA a couple of times and all stays official except when entering recovery, but this a know "problem" with the new bootloader.

Looked at the difference with some system tools, no difference, same chip and so on, only difference is, mine is from 05.2012 and hers is from 06.2012.

So i guess, although they both named S3, both have the same chip, they are not identical.

If anyone can share a light on this, please do.

For now, i guess i just have to wait till some great dev comes up with something.

Just sharing my noobish experience and thoughts.

Edit:

Only thing left now to try is flash stock again and try all over, but for this i need time....

Edit again:

All is well, found a previous version of triangle away in my old backup.

Un installed triangle away v2.55 and installed v2.37.

Just used it on the new bootloader and it worked.

All is saying official.

It's sticks when you just reboot or turning off completely and turning it back on again.

But its starts to count when you entered recovery.

So just remember when you are on the new bootloader, when done flashing stuff, use ta again.

Still odd that on the wifes phone, TA 2.55 works without problems.

But reminder, doing all this at your on risk.

Edit, version 2.60 is also working normal here.
