Recovery used to work without binary count but maybe something changed from Samsung. I'll try to update the file and see if it helps.

If nothing works, use triangle away, then flash stock recovery with CWM. Won't trigger binary count.

Also, take a look inside the firmware you flashing. If there's a recovery.img inside tar then you don't have to flash recovery first. Just make sure binary count is zero before fw flash.

HELP with TRIANGLE AWAY!

Hi! I was on my way of unrooting my device and restoring official firmware. (Samsung S3 Mini GT-I8190) and I came across a problem. I was on the step of making my system status to offiial. I downloaded triangle away and did what the instruction told me to do. I downloaded triangle away 3.5, ticked the "allow tracker to run" option but the tick box for "system modified workaround" was not available as it was grayed out. I tried rebooting my device but to no use. what can i do to solve this?Any help would be appreciated. Attached here is the screenshot of the option in triangle away which was grayed out.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
It could be that the option for "allow tracker to run" is a pro feature available only in the donate version. Not sure about that.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] chrisrobin:
Thanks for the reply

But I used 3.5 version which was the latest version (paid). the "allow tracker to run" can be checked/unchecked, but not the "system modified workaround" option. This is where i get lost. Thanks for the reply sir.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Hmm.. Havn't used it in awhile but untick "allow tracker to run" and I think "system modified workaround" will be available.

Tick that one first, then "allow tracker to run".
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I've seen a few posts lately saying that the "i8190_stock_recovery.tar.md5" now gives a binary count.

If thats so, then I think Samsung is trying to give us a hard time :P

I'm gonna collect recoverties from various PDA versions, and make PDA-specific tars of them. Hope it will work.

First out will be "I8190XXAMG4-recovery.tar.md5". Now added to OP.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] chrisrobin:
Yay!

So i uninstalled triangle away 3.5 and restored my back up from custom recovery TWRP, reinstalled triangle away and, voila! It worked. the "system modified workaround" is now available. One question though, do i need to untick the option "periodic system modified reset" or di i leave it as is? Thanks for the assistance! Gee, i just registered 2 days ago, and received assistance fast. I was looking for the "thanks" button, but cant seem to locate it. Thank You!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
You're welcome :) I try to be supportive at least in my own threads, otherwise there wouldn't be any point of starting one in the first place.

I think the "periodic system modified reset" option was added in one of the latest updates of Triangle away. I can't recall I ever had to tick that.

I have a problem with my I8190N, (android 4.1.2), Baseband I8190NXXALL6

1. I have flashed back to a stock rom (I8190NXXALL6_OXXALL3_NEE_Nordic_Android_4.1.2)

2. rooted it with Samsung GS3 Mini ToolKit

3. then flashed i8190_stock_recovery.tar.md5 with Odin

but the counter doesn't go back to 0, what am I doing wrong?

I need to send it in for repair

EDIT: Problem solved, I installed the TriangleAway-v3.05.apk manually, and reset the counter and reflashed it to stock rom (I8190NXXALL6_OXXALL3_NEE_Nordic_Android_4.1.2)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] chrball:
I'm attempting to clear the binary count and flash to stock firmware right now.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this in the correct order but here's the order I'm trying right now:

1. flash I8190XXAMG4-recovery.tar

2. flash I8190XXAMG4_I8190AUTAMH1_AUT firmware (from samersh72's thread)

(just doing these two to start from scratch)

3. flash CWM recovery (recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.7-golden.tar)

4. reboot into recovery and install root.zip from microSD card (using method from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2066407)

5. install triangle away reset binary, & follow other steps & systemstatus is now official; uninstall triangle away after reboot. (up to this point everything is working right)

6. flash I8190XXAMG4-recovery.tar (this part always gave me +1 custom binary but I'm hoping the new XXAMG4-recovery will work)

*edit* ^Just attempted and it failed on this step. I8190XXAMG4-recovery.tar got counted as a custom binary. I'm trying to set this phone up for someone and I'd like to get OTA updates working so they don't have to flash every time there's an update. I really wish Samsung didn't lock system updates down because of the binary count. I don't care about warranty/repairs.. I bought this phone used and it's way out of warranty. I'd just like to get OTA updates. Is there anything else I should try?

7. flash I8190XXAMG4_I8190AUTAMH1_AUT (latest version of the stock AUT region firmware)

These last two steps have always failed for me in the past.. am I doing this last part right?

Help Triangle away Status

Hi all, i please advice what to don..

i used triabgle away v 2.9 ang reset flash counter.. after reset may status become System Official but Binary count is custom 5 counts..

Any idea about this.. Attached i screenshot..

Thanks in advance..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
If everything is fine after step 5, then why dont you flash stock recovery in cwm?

Triangle away doesn't reset counter for you?

I just restored my xxamg4 backup, and successfully restored counter from 3 to zero.

Also tried the xxamg4 recovery in odin without count.

Don't know why it's not working for you.

Im sorry I think I posted in wrong forum im using S4 i9505 Omega rom v12 Adam kernel v1.6 knox free..

[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Ah, ok. No worries. Anyway..you need to be on stock kernel to reset counter.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] jserrano0628:
Thank you for the hint..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] chrball:
*edit* Got it. I started with the wrong stock firmware (and I think it needed to be NFC model firmware).

I ended up flashing stock recovery (from this thread) & stock XXALL6 (O2).

I then flashed a prerooted XXALL3 firmware from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2122548

From there I used triangle away to reset binary, supersu to do full unroot, and systemstatus now set to Official and OTA updates work.

I appreciate the wealth of information here! I could not have figured it out without XDA.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] jserrano0628:
Hi try this.. download stock Firmware for your country and model in SAMobile.com and then flash via ODIN.. then root your phone using cf root for your handset model must be stock rooted.. then reset counter using triangle away.. after reset flash the stock firmware again to gain official factory reset your phone and update via kies or OTA..

Hope it helps..

So i opened my firmware file, but which file to see if it is the recovery?

system.img

modem.bin

Or does this firmware doesnt have recovery?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
In this case there's no recovery included. If there was there should also be a "recovery.img" in there.

I tried to check the "allow tracker to run" option but it said something about a possible packagemanager failure that could be fixed by a factory reset. I did the factory reset and the same error still popped up. Can't tick system modified workaround if that tracker running thing is not checked. How do I fix this?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I haven't used triangle away in a long time but I remember I ticked both options and after reboot my status went official again.

Don't know about the "packagemanager" thing. I've never seen that error.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
I'm still running a sandisk 32 gig class 4 card. While getting ready for ICS I backed up everything, including copying the card to my PC. I noticed how much stuff is on it from apps and such, that it makes me question....

Does the microSD card speed have any impact on how the bolt performs? Will it be faster or have less lag with one of those newer Sandisk UHS cards?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
The only benefit you will see is faster read write speeds to the SD card. You would probably have to increase the read ahead buffer to get the full benefits.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
And that is part of my question.

I guess my thought process is... With the newer card having faster read/write speeds, I would think that any access the phone does of data/apps stored on the car might be faster. And with all the .Android_secure, android and other files/folders the bolt stores on the card (as opposed to internal memory), that isn't pictures or ring tones, I was wondering if it could make a noticeable impact on the performance of the phone or installed apps.

Has any one tried? Is there a way to measure or verify any improvements? I guess I'm looking for reassurance it will make a worth while difference before I go an spend money on another card.

As for the read ahead buffer, is that something that is easy to modify? how would that be done?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
It in theory would make viewing pictures and stuff on the sd card faster. As for apps I'm not real sure. You can download apps like Rom toolbox that let you change the read ahead buffer but I think the thunderbolt maxes out at 4096. Anything faster will just default to that speed. To test it use one of the benchmark apps like antutu.

Hi all,

I've been using my arc S for over a year and I like it a lot. However, recently I've been experiencing frequent crashes, and sudden hanging of the system whereby I need to force restart the phone.

I'm not good with Android development, but managed to root my phone using doomlord method, and am using Nova launcher with it. It's currently on ics 4.0.3

Is there any way to find out what's wrong? For example, I'm surfing using boat browser, and without any warning,the browser app just closes. Another time I was reading on pulse news app,and it auto closes by itself. I used ezpdf and often it hangs while reading pdf files. It wasn't like this when I first updated it.

Can anyone tell me is it the problem with the system or hardware?

I'm reluctant to change to a new phone.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm on RC8 of this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2013506) and looking to upgrade to the latest release. It seems a hboot upgrade is required though (to 1.3x), which I've never really touched.

From what I can tell from bootloader I'm on hboot v0.93. CID is TMOB005 according to fastboot, and I can't find anything at all suggesting I can safely upgrade to 1.3x with this CID. Am I completely out of luck or are there other options?

Please feel free to re-educate me if I've misunderstood the concepts of hboot/CID here..

Thanks.
[HTC One X] naux:
This is by the OP on the ROM thread (first post).

AFAIK, HBoot v0.93 is a custom HBoot, so it should be fine for you to go ahead and upgrade, just remember to flash boot.img. As for CID it is just the phone's carrier, in your case it would be T-Moblie. It determines when you get your OTA. Doubt it will affect your flashing of custom ROMS (correct me if I'm wrong, cos I'm still learning here:rolleyes:).

I'm not too sure about HBoots, so would be nice if an expert were to come and confirm this. :)
[HTC One X] spadders-:
Thanks for replying. I just want to be really clear here though, the thread for that ROM states:

So are you saying there's a v1.39 hboot that's safe to use with my CID? Or that I don't, in fact, have to upgrade hboot at all? I could find nothing suggesting either.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
To run the latest JB roms you need to update the hboot. The hboot you have is pretty old. There is a thread with a collection of firmwares, you must flash the exact matching firmware for your CID !!!

Edit : here is the thread
