I read it and as I see it nobody is sure about nothing there.If you expect an enormous gratitude for something that you posted but not developed and with so few valuable info, you are just getting it wrong.Give the people more info and try it yourself first.Don't act like an angry primadonna.Regards.:cool:
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
this is really interesting, maybe after fully reading the russian link I will try it! Good job, XDA is not the only place for developers you know!!!
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
This is extremely dangerous, I will not risk a taco for this.

we will miss you Nicholas.... /s
[LG Optimus Black] 123r4ka456:
after reading that russian forum......

here's what i found.

they try to installing CWM on pure v30. this is a good idea, flasing v20 just for CWM is torturing our device flash memory.

installing CWM directly via ADB ===> Security Error

installing Kernel directly via ADB ===> Stuck at LG logo

so, they made a interesting discovery, they extract uboot from v20s(CMIIW), and taadaaaaa, no more security error, and its working

but well, i dont have enough balls to try it.....btw @OP, many2 thanks for sharing, dont mind about ppl that didnt believe to you......
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
I think some one whos stuck on stock v30 shud try this to get cwm ...i have seen a couple of guys getting stuck on stock v30 and were not able to downgrade to patched v20.....
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
AW: [DEV] [ICS 4.0.4 Stock] Recovery (Only test)

I already said this on another thread. Yes it works, but it is risky. Flashing the uboot partition MIGHT permanently damage your phone. I have not yet tried it and probably never will. Cause if uboot flashing fails, you wont be able to connect to sft anymore (like I said, I am not sure, if it will really perm brick your device, but I think it will).

For anyone who doesnt mind this risk, just go ahead. But for those who need their devices, either live with a rooted stock ROM, or flash a patched GB and then flash any ROM you want, like my repacks, IZS, Marvel,...
[LG Optimus Black] rrgrrg:
please 123r4ka456 ,, if the dev u mentioned tested this please give us the orignal link :D ,,,
[LG Optimus Black] robuso:
Hello, guys,

celebration, I can confirm, that method 2 is working. I have tested it and it flash recovery 6.0.1.4 touch, then I installed AnReboot and rebooted to recovery, then I flashed new kernel, and it is working. Fantastic.
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
I think then we should be able to patch the bin of v30 with all these files as we already know how to do it for recovery....now someone needs to figure out on which location to patch the other files...and then we will have a patched v30 flashable from sft.
[LG Optimus Black] BPaul:
is no Nicolas ;)
[LG Optimus Black] MRDK-OB:
i want to use this method but i didnt understand it so iam afraid to brick my device permanently

anyone tried it ? can you make a video for that ?

thank you
[LG Optimus Black] rrgrrg:
Its unsafe but method 2 reported to be working well :D
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Just Flash V20* patched. Your using that boot-loader anyway. It's nothing new. Flashing V20* and flashing system.img and boot.img (with patched cmdline) from V30 does the same thing. This method is just slightly shorter.

It's not that risky as some people think it is, but something can still go wrong and then your screwed. Modifying the bootloader to make the kernel boot with KU5900 Kernel was different. The risk was with the modified and untested uboot that might not boot, not with writing the uboot to the phone (It does that every time you use SFT or B2C anyway).

I don't know why people want to get V30 with CWM so badly, if it was using unlocked V30 Bootloader then GB Roms won't work since the bootargs are wrong. V20 works. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
But do you have any knowledge about the uboot partition? I was only guessing, that if flashing goes wrong, you'll be screwed... But I am not yet sure, if uboot or x-loader partition is responsible for the SW-Upgrade mode. If only a working x-loader is needed, to get that mode working, there is no problem with that method, but if uboot is needed, then it definitly is s little dangerous, if thing dont work, as they should...
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
If it does go wrong your screwed, but it's just very unlikely that something will go wrong.

When flashing uboot from KU5900 the language in SW Update changes so it's probably needed.

@OP

If you didn't create the content then it isn't allowed to be in Development Section. Please ask a mod to move it to the correct section.
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
Tested, it works

Tested variant number 2, flashing from the computer... it works like magic :).

I was like WTF today, and just didn't cared... So you have a confirmation for variant number 2, it install CWM standard not touch...
[LG Optimus Black] rrgrrg:
Great but u do have the default kernel right ?? ,, also whats the difference between the cwm standard and touch ?
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
yes default kernel, CWM standard is controlled witj volume/power buttons, CWM touch is... by touch
[LG Optimus Black] makysssdroid:
Thats work in v30b good ? Thanks for your answer
[LG Optimus Black] nick3:
with the second method is not successful, while the first all ok!

thank you!
[LG Optimus Black] viges666:
Is it the same as the u-boot posted in general section? Cause that one (general section's) is working well on sfted v30c with original kernel. Now I can use cwn on pure v30c without any bugs that came from changed bootargs, and mod my Rom.
[LG Optimus Black] GPaul:
I've already tried it and my phone got bricked. I wasn't able to get even in S/W Upgrade mode anymore. I had to send my device for fixing. My luck was that the warranty was still valid.

I tried only the first method. I don't know about the second one.
[LG Optimus Black] sinner99:
I used Variant #2...worked perfectly, of course i right clicked the executable and ran as admin(win 8 pro). This is a spare phone i got (i believe the imei is blacklisted cannot connect to any provider, baseband and imei is there, phone has been unlocked and i always get connection error to any provider) so i didnt really mind if it bricked. it didnt, all the commands ran successfully, it rebooted back to the rom, i rebooted to recovery via adb and cwm6 is there and functions. I will test the other problems to see if they work fine.
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
Looks like this is same as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160394 ...
[LG Optimus Black] cjmaaz:
Yeah It worked, I'm on ICS, I was unable to flash any custom recovery but Thanks. Now it's working like charm.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] antsm:
It's time to bring warranty back ;) Just flash attached file using CWM and here you are!

If you prefer a manual way then type the following line in terminal (or using adb shell):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1 count=1 seek=3145732

Be EXTREMELY careful if you're typing this manually. One mistake can brick your phone!

Confirmed to work with Gingerbread and JellyBean.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] arroyo:
Would this trick work in Gingerbread? Did you get Custom binary: NO?

I still have virgin counter, but I assume that many users may ask about his.

Antsm, once again you are the first one, who finds new areas in i8160 cracking (root, CWM and now Flash Counter). Good job! :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] cbolumar:
Works - Thank's

Before i had the counter in 34 , after 0 (NO) , is a good change.(CWM)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rikxzdjz:
Flash failed :( ( TWRP )

Maybe u can beat me in English , but im not sure that u can beat me in mandarin

Same here, Error flashing zip with TWRP. But the command works great. Thanks mate.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] antsm:
Absolutely ;)

BTW, i had something like 145 before :)

Rikxzdjz

Sigint89,

Something in updater-script needs to be correct in order to use it with TWRP.

I'll check it ASAP (need to install TWRP kernel) or maybe someone will be more rapid :laugh:

However, it would be nice to look at recovery log.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] mkel91:
Thanks a lot, we really need this!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kyrillos13:
Wow thanks antsm. Works great!!

PS: Try the attached zip if you have TWRP. I am not sure if it works. I just changed the update-binary. (Works fine in CWM btw)

Edit: Attachment removed
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] avkiev:
But we still have "Current binary: Custom", isn't it ?

I think we have to patch checksum too, not 300004 only
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kyrillos13:
No. I have:

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

with ofc, custom kernel installed in my phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sigint89:
I don't know why TWRP won't save recovery log but i wrote it from screen:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sigint89:
Still Current binary: Custom after using updated zip. But thanks anyway ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kyrillos13:
I did reset the counter & the samsung official binary, with the first 'zip'. Basically i remember that i flashed the custom kernel with the dd command, and not with odin, so that's why i think it was reset. Maybe the Current Binary wasn't changed at all because i flashed the kernel with dd method. So my fault.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Der-Knuffi:
Seems not to work, as in Download-Mode the counter is still 1.

I installed Shell Terminal Emulator (Play-Store Link) and wrote the above mentioned line. When I press "ok", I do not get any feedback and when entering Downloadmode, the counter ist still "1".
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
First enter "su" command, wait until terminal gains superuser permission and # appears on the begining of the next line, then type dd if... command.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Der-Knuffi:
Perhaps I got the wrong terminal emulator ... when I enter "su" and press "ok", SuperSu shows a little window which states

that super user rights have been given to the shell terminal emulator, but the the next line in the emulator apprears again with "user@android:/$"
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
I use Android Terminal Emulator, which gives "#" when su permission granted.

Anyway, what's happening when you enter dd command ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Der-Knuffi:
"cannot open for write" ... Ill try the other terminal app

Got it - Android Terminal Emulator worked. :D

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
That error is definetly caused by missing root permission.

## Your welcome :D

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lan83:
you mean to all device with GB? how about Galaxy ACE? can i use this?:confused:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Nizda1:
I definitely wouldn't recommend that way to someone that doesn't know what those commands mean. If you want the easy way to reset the incremental flash counter download the app "triangle away". First make sure your phone is listed under supported devices, if it isn't you can check chain fires thread on xda and request it for your phone. Just so you know I wouldn't even worry I've sent phones back with just a factory reset and no one said a word. But if you want to reset it use triangle away.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] hafidzduddin:
NO!!!

Just work on ace 2 and s advance. Idk beam. Novathor u8500.

Honestly told though...

"Redistribution not allowed" - Really? Well that's a very open and friendly attitude coming from a recognized developer on opensource scene...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
The only working method to reset the counter on ace 2/s advance came from antsm (thx, for testers too :D), someone built a very useful app using his method to help people do this easier and less risky, but this app is independent from TA, I can't understand why he had to remove from xda...

However I'm glad that TA will support our device, and I really appreciate the developers work but this attitude is so childish...
