You need to flash an older bootloader for the jig to work

how do i do that

I can't find the thread where I got this link from on here (might wanna search for "old bootloader" or similar), but you can get the old bootloader here. Flash it in the PDA section of Odin and you should be good to go with the jig.

please close this thread

Erasing Download information Succeded not showing

Hey
Rooted my phone and loaded up ultratoxic rom and Siyah Kernal via Odin
Put in the jig to go into download mode and the screen does not show the message Download information Succeded not showing
It shows
Factory Mode
Product Name
Custom Binary Download Yes (4 Counts)
Current Binary :Custom
So the triangle does not disappear is there something I am doing wrong or need to do?
Did you install any stock ki based roms before that? Could of swore since ki roms came out samsung basically disabled the counter from being reset in the bootloader and you needed a totally different usb jig to reset it now.
Yeah, the new bootloader doesn't allow the counter to be erased. But you can always flash the old bootloader, there should be a thread somewhere.
Its cos yourve flashed the new modded Sammy bootloader that cant be wiped.You need to flash via Odin the old bootloader in PDA.

Put it in PDA,dont select anything else,just hit START and your done in 3sec.
you can find latest firmwares with the old bootloader pre-installed here for further flashing.

Binary count

Hello all you experts out there i need some help if at all possible,
I have been flashing my galaxy s2 and have clocked up a binary count of 12 and would like to reset to 0.
I used odin and re-flashed to stock I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1
then did a factory re-set.
then plugged in kies and it automaticly updated to latest firmware XWKI4.
Then i turned phone off booted in to download mode and inserted my jig to reset the counter but it didn't work.
what am i doing wrong????

Use Ctrl-F in your browser to find the description for GT-I9100_OLD_BOOTLOADER.7z. Download it and flash it using Odin, then use your jig to reset the binary counter.
You should change your bootloader to an old one.. New bootloaders are not reseting counter..
Here is the old one:

Thanks to all for the help
i'll certainly look at mobile odin, but how do i use this ctrl thingy
Put jig in before rebooting normally (not into download mode) the device with jig in will automatically boot into download mode. If you are on old bootloader it will reset.
If not intratech has the old bootloader for download in his official firmware thread. Read down from 1st post till you find it. Instructions are there also.

Just boot into recovery mode and choose wipe data/factory reset. Otherwise flash new rom via Odin. Use only backfront panel of your PC to connect USB.
how can i start recovery mode because i tried all combinations and does'nt work

IF u can access your recovery mode , flash cwm recovery , root your phone and flash stocklitev7 ...its a stock based rom ..u will like it ....and then after the phone boots try to flash your stock rom again with odin ,,,the flashing aand rooting guide is present in sga android development section .......
ohh wait mayb i can undertand what u mean .....do u have kies installed on your pc ??? kies is needed for the usb drivers needed to get your phone recognized by odin .....u cant flash a rom until that " yellow box " appearss,,,,,.....
i cant access anything because the phone doesnt start, he is just flashing, i can use only download mode, i have kies,odin etc but when i install a rom whit odin the phone its flashing again...

does flashing mean its rebooting ?
ok so u flashed a rom ???? have u flashed a new stock rom with odin ????
did u "wipe cache partition "
this u have to do in recovery mode i cant get why u cant access it is your phone GT S5830???
He meant that his touchscreen is flashing and he can't do a thing with it.
The answer is simple. Take the phone to the local Samsung service centre.
Just don't mention that you tryed ODIN, or KIES to revive the touchscreen.

Did you root by CF-Root? Did you happen to flash the wrong one? Erica one of the XDA tv killed her touchscreen by flashing the note2 cf root.
Anyways, use Kies for the firmware initialization or Odin a stock rom, whichever works for you. Be sure to have it in download mode for Odin tho

Thanks for the quick reply! yes. I think I might have flashed the wrong rom I have tried both Kies and Odin. Kies can't seem to find the device (I had already installed all Usb drives/updates prior to the root), and Odin fails every time

Hi mate, i have a galaxy S3 19300 with O2 (UK)
so what can you get into at the moment? Recovery? Download mode?
Firstly when you run Odin on the computer, make sure that all the Kies related processes are not running (open Task Manager and kill anything with Kies in the name). Then assuming you can put the phone into Download mode (Hold vol-down, power and home together until you see the Samsung logo), do that, open Odin on the computer and then connect the phone. It should show up ok in Odin. Then you can flash whichever ROM you wish, make sure you choose the correct ROM for your device.

Yes ive been putting the device into download mode, then using Odin to flash the rom. Problem im having is everytime ive tried to flash the rom, it fails right at the end, and i have tried different roms/different versions of Odin. The only Odin version i have found work was an older version, it is the only one that turns yellow in the 'com' box when i plug the device in. All other versions (like 3.07) turn blue not yellow
Blue in the com box in ODIN 3.07 is ok:
you should have something like '<ID:0/006> Added!!' in the message panel.
Try flashing a recent JB rom with ODIN 3.07. If that doesnt work, try an ICS rom.
If its failing again, post the output messages here.
Also, when you boot into download mode, what does it say in the top left - device id, custom binary etc....

Lol thats good to hear. Ive just tried it with Odin 3.07 and it failed, this is what was in the box:
<ID:0/003> cache.img
<ID:0/003> hidden.img
<ID:0/003> recovery.img
<ID:0/003> modem.bin
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
ok, I'd try :
Uninstall Kies if you have it installed. (leave the drivers).
Try turning off any antivirus/firewall....
Try running ODIN as Admin.
See what happens...

Just uninstalled Kies, turned off antivirus/firewalls, didnt know how to run Odin as Admin. I downloaded a different JB version, and it worked, but now the phone is stuck on the 'samsung galaxy s3 - GT-19300' screen, this is definitely a step forward, but still not quite there
Cool
ok, now boot into recovery vol up + home + power
when in recovery, choose factory reset or wipe data & cache, not sure what the wording is....
to navigate in recovery, use vol up & vol down and power button to choose.

If you flashed the right file and it booted well then chances of being it bricked are minimal...
I would suggest you flash a stock rom via Odin... read guides if you don't know how to.. Grab that from sammobile. Com.. and flash correct firmware for your device...
And next time if you want to switch to art then do not use xposed module as it not supported yet...
