Hi,
Does GT-P7500 have a flash counter?
If it does, is there a way to reset it?
I really would like to root my tab
Yes it does, but mine is still 0 and i'm rooted. It seems it counts only if you install unofficial rom with odin.
What would be best way to do it, that the counter stays zero?

I updated to KI1 using Odin and then applied the root.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089) using recovery menu.
Sorry for the noob question, but what is the flash counter for?

It counts how many times you have flashed unofficial software on your device. If the count is higher then 0 then Samsung will probably refuse to repair it under warranty.

I needed to run the odin at administrator rights...
Now need to learn how to install custom roms

You can Install custom ROMs using CWM. I don't know how to reset the counter.

How to find that counter?
*uses necromancer skill to revive dead thread*
hey guys,
since i was disappointed twice by the asus transformer prime, i'm thinking about getting a galaxy tab.
i really wanna use custom roms and kernels.. so, can someone please clarify the following things:
1. is there any way to reset the custom counter like you can on the sgs2?
2. do CWM flashes affect the custom counter or not?
thanks in advance!
is there really no one out there with an answer?
It has a counter.But you'll be good if you restrict to cwm.

Does flashing a custom recovery make the counter counts

How is reset counter?
counter ?? hmmm
a good piece of info....need it badly how to find the counter
On my GT-P7510 there is a counter that can be seen in the text in downloading mode. Flashing CWM and installing ROMs through CWM does not seem to affect it, mine is still at 0.
Ok, if I flash cwm the counter will stay zero...If I however flash back to stock recovery then what? I have read that the counter only increases if a custom kernel, not rom, is flashed. So does flashing stock rom (including STOCK kernel), from samfirmware.com affect the counter? Hope someone with more knowledge than me sees this. Thanks!

i just searched for reseting counter, too.
But its right, it seems not to count. I had installed various Custom Roms via Odin and the Counter still says Original Samsung and also is still zero.
you can find the counter when entering Downloading mode (Power+VolumeDown and than choose Download)

What was unclear about this? It removes the custom binary flash counter, the one you see if you've flashed a non Samsung kernel from download mode, and also the corresponding indicator (triangle) when you boot your phone afterwards.

So don't flash anything, stick to stock, and wait for official updates via Kies.
I don't have triangle... I removed it using some other method... I have 2 counter.. but I just want to know why the need of reseting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Resetting the flash counter isn't 'necessary'. But if you ever want to send your phone in for warranty service, not resetting the flash counter before you send it in for service might well mean you end up paying for your phone to be repaired/replaced rather than having same done on Samsung's dime.
Clear ?

Samsung warranty .
Void if custom rom or rooted phone or root apps or custom rom counter above zero .
Its as simple as that .
USB recovery jig can set custom rom to zero but not on later firmware with newer bootloader such as beta ICS .

It might be silly question but here it is.
To get "Reset flash counter", I need cwm so I have root and install cwm.
Then I can apply reset flash counter through cwm.
so number back to "0"
Should I flash stock rom after that?
then does that number go to "1"?
Thanks in advance
Load stock Rom with gapps then reset counter

Guys... I'm planning to give my mobile to the samsung service to claim the guarantee coz my mobile home button have become very hard to press...
So I backuped the official Rom which came with my handset... Even flashed official Kernel to remove the recovery.. but Root didn't even Removed ... how is that possibl...? Is there any way?
I even worked with Triangle away to remove the flash counter and triangle...

just reflash the offical rom, from odin and everything will be removed and will be stock
Are you able to perform any actions that require root? Or are those apps just there, without the ability to perform their designated functions (example: restoring a back-up via Titanium Back-up)?

well if you flash orignal firmware via odin the counter will not be increase
counter increase only After root the firmware.
flash Only rom it will remove yellow icon and will not increase Counter
I think the firmware which you are flashing is not full wipe.Follow this:
1)Flash lpq or any other ics firmware and let it reboot and see if the root is still present if not
2)Now flash Indian firmware which was shipped with your phone.

Once used triangle away to reset flash counter then go to recovery and do a factory reset(full wipe), remove battery, go into download mode, flash DDKL1 full firmware of some 300 mb and don't flash anything else(flashing stock firmware don't increase flash counter
Hey guys just as the title states 'does flashing touch recovery rise the flash counter?' i would love to know if this is right or not, thanks in advance

Yes, if you use Odin to flash. But you can always use triangle away to reset counter.

Use "mobile Odin" to flash tar files or flash a cwm version.this do not increase flash counter
Warranty may be refused is why custom rom markers on the phone .

So for some reasons, I decided to go back to stock ROM on my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T, but the problem is I installed CyanogenMod using the CM Installer and it installed CM for I9300 onto my phone (which has the original model number of GT-I9300T). And as I decided to reset the flash counter, TriangleAway detected my device's model as GT-I9300 but not GT-I9300T. So I have 2 questions about this problem:
1_ Can I just flash the stock ROM like how I flashed CM Roms without resetting the flash counter? I'm not going on a warranty or anything but I just want to go back to stock ROM.
2_ If I continue to reset the flash counter even TriangleAway detected my phone's model as GT-I9300, is it ok? Will my phone be bricked?
Thank you anyone for replying!
Hough I can't say what will happen if u try to run triangle away, I can be pretty sure that flashing stock ROM without resetting the counter won't cause any harm other than the warranty
Sent from my GT-I9300
Firstly, u can flash the gt-i9300 firmware on the gt-i9300t phone. Ppl had success in doing so online. Also, flashing stock rom from sammobile will not trigger the flash counter so you have no worries on tat.
Thanks guys a lot!
Thank you guys, I will try to flash stock ROM without resetting the flash counter first
Oh and there's one more thing, if I flash a stock ROM then will Clockworkmod still working?
Stock firmware will replace your current recovery with stock.
