ok i've gone through the threads and it stated that triangle away won't work on custom roms so the only way is i have to reflash back to stocks firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
- On my SGS3/Note2/etc, Download Mode says my System is modified, and Triangle Away does not reset it
Triangle Away attempt to reset this status and block it from coming back, but it depends on the firmware. It does work on some (not all) stock firmwares. Resetting this value doesn't work on custom firmwares!
- On the SGS3/Note2/etc, System->Settings->About device->Status still shows "Modified"
This is outside the scope of Triangle Away. The "system" status is not even always resettable in the bootloader. If you are going for warranty, you need to also reflash a full stock firmware and wipe your device. If they boot up your device and find root apps, you're not going to get any warranty anyway. If you do such a full stock reflash and wipe, the "Modified" value will go away.

Hah.. thanks the above thread is very useful and i just flash back to the original firmware and it works everything works fine now.
So if i flash custom rom i don't have to take note on the counter 1st, just if the phone needs to be sent back to samsung then i'll just flash ORI firmware and proceed triangle away.

Hi,
First post in this forum but have been on XDA for a while now (galaxy ace/note). Did look for this before posting. My wife has an S2 and it recently updated (via kies) to ICS. Its the UK (H3G) carrier version. Im not new to rooting/roms/flashing etc as have flashed my old galaxy ACE countless times CM7/9 etc.
I understand the S2 has a custom flash counter which could screw up warranty.
She hates this (H3G) ICS as it has quite a load of bugs. (Freezes lots etc) and I was wondering the following:-
1 - Do you need to root the s2 to flash via ODIN?
2 - Will flashing a stock ROM from sammobile increase the flash counter?
3 - If so will triangle away work to get rid?
She is not keen on the warranty being void but will happily go back to GB if I can do it for her.

You can root using odin, flashing anything will increase your counter and Triangle away does work but it can hard brick you phone at the same time.

Cheers for the quick reply. The first question was do you need root for odin? is Triangle away that risky?
A. No.
B. No.
C. No need if not rooted as flashing official firmware package will not increase the counter. An insecure kernel will.
Just follow Intratech's official firmware thread. Has all the instructions you need.

Thanks for the answer. So Ill just grab the H3G 2.3.3 from sammobile and flash it. Shell be very happy!
If you want to remove the triangle and reset the counter you can use a jig usb and after flashing the old bootloader
I have miss read what you put, sorry about that i though you wanted to root.

Flashing the stock Rom = No Triangle
I flashed the leaked version of ICS using ODIN and didn't get the flash count triangle, It wasn't until I flashed the edited stock kernel that allows root (without effecting the rest of the phone) That I did.
But using Triangle away got rid of it and I feel the major warning message may be a little overkill as it only took a second and it doesn't even reboot the phone.

hey neerajganga
you said triangle away worked, the reason i said it was not tested and highly dangerous was because no one even tried on i9100g so thats why.my question is this will it work with i9100g with rootbox ics with cm based kernel?
also eng.mohamed851
are you in ics or gb because triangle away works only for ics.
Triangle Away does not work on I9100g.. It says MAGIC HEADER NOT FOUND.
May be we need to request its developer to make it compatible with I9100G also..

How to install old bootloader and reset counter?
I have a Galaxy s2 GT-I9100 and unsuccessfully attempted to root the phone and the counter is on 5.
Current state of the phone is that it can only access download mode.
Tried a jig, that didn't work. Next tried to install old bootloader using Odin this also failed.
Initially the phone was running ICS and I believe I must have attempted to install an incompatible root kernel.
My intention was to reset the binary counter and then use Kies to restore the original firmware.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

1)should be on a stock rom (GB or ICS) pertained to ur region.
2) u must be unrooted for sure.
3) ur binary count should be Zero (0) , and u should remove the Triangle by using 'triangle away'app.
with all the above done, u can send to repair without any issue for sure

1. Sun90, already said it in his point no 3. Use triangle away app, to reset binary counter: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
2. Then download the firmware for your country here: www.sammobile.com/firmware/
3. Flash the firmware via Odin.
4. Your phone will be back to unrooted stock firmware.

You've mentioned that you've flashed various roms... Did they include different kernels? Before sending it for reparation, you could always try a different kernel. Perhaps your mom's wifi problem is kernel related. I'm not saying this the solution, but in my humble opinion it's worth a try before proceeding with the steps above.

Is your flash counter showing '1' after reset or different number? If '1' that's mean it worked just sometimes if you have flashed custom recovery counter won't go to '0'. If that's the problem, try to restore stock recovery and them use Triangle Away.
By the way, did you try to change ROM to older one? Any difference?

My flash counter shows 1 after reset, yes. So you say I should restore stock recovery first?
I didnt change anything about the rom, i just rooted my phone.
Thanks for your help!
All depend what did you use to root it, sometimes it comes with custom recovery. In my case even with stock rom and kernel I had counter '1' after reset because I had custom recovery. Flashed back the stock recovery and triangle away works like a charm - counter 0.
After all, just to make sure, I've used Kies to reflash it with the latest software to remove root and other rubbish of my phone

Use SGS3 Toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488). Make sure that your kies is switched off and follow the instructions (Your Model will be under number 7. and then you need to go to number 6 (ReFlash stock recovery via Odin).

TriangleAway works but with only official recovery and official kernel.
If you're running a custom ROM, a custom kernel, a custom recovery, CWM, TWRP, etc, this will cause the counter to auto-reset to 1.
