I'm planning to get the SGSII soon and doing the old root/custom rom thing. I've seen a lot of posts here whete people are concerned about trip counts. Why is this? Is AT&T somehow able to monitor this? What's the scoop gents?

it can void warranty?
A proper root/flash/install or a $1.25 jig clears that up.
My friend wants "adaway" but doesn't want to root his phone.
Can they tell if it's "rooted" if I do "rooted+stock" by entropy? (I have a jig)
He has instantaneous download speeds on his DATA/3g. I don't. ??? Whats up with that? Same phone, same place etc. etc. I don't wanna root his phone if that'll mess it up, he loves his stock, i understand him lol.
You can always root and flash modems to get better signal and speed. There's also zips that you can download to go back to stock for selling and w.e. if you rooted and wanted to go back to stock. Excuse me if I didn't help.

i have been looking around but i dont see anything to help. my problem is that i have a samsung att i777 or the galaxy s2, but i have recently flashed new roms and custom kernels an like certain things from all. unfortunatly i dont like any certain one . but the problem is that i tripped my counter and i dont know how to reset it. i have a jig and have tried multipul times, but still nothing. i have odined back to stock everything. just a minute ago i flashed the newest modem but still same prob. while in download mode it says factory mode on top. instead of odin mode. someone with some kind of expierence please can you give me a pointer?
Do you have the right jig

I don't understand your problem... Are you trying to return your phone? It only matters if you are bringing it back to att. what it sounds like to me is li dint like any roms i want to go back to stock." To which id say you have it at stock let the counter stay.
But to answer your question... The sgs2 had tighter tolerances on the resistor used, meaning some old ones won't work. Idr what thread it was so use the search feature of the forum to find which jigs people have had good luck with, the info it's out there.

I made my jig with parts from radio shack. Worked for my captivate and works for my GSII

@pogmothoin17,
If your jig boots your phone into download mode, but the flash counter does not get reset, then somewhere along the line, you flash one of the leaked roms, 2.3.5 or 2.3.6, or you installed an I9100 rom that also installed a secondary bootloader. Since you say the flash counter reads Factory mode instead of Odin mode, I'm guessing you flashed one of the I777 leaks. If you install one of the leaks with the one-click Odin downloader, it will install a new secondary bootloader, that is programmed to not reset the flash counter. I don't know what the flash counter says in that case, but it could be factory mode. It would make sense. Anyway, if that is the case, you need to flash back to the original I777 UCKH7 secondary bootloader. Go here to get the file and instructions.
Well thank y'all for the feedback. No I wasntgonna return the phone I actually love it. Coming from a vibrant especially. I like some things for all the custom Roms and kernels. Just not enough to stay with one for the.moment. I am not in depth enough yet to try and make my own or.customize a.rom .....even though that is what o wanna start doing. The way I look at.it is I took it back to stock to see how this ota. 2.3.6 update was. When I go back to stock I like everything to be normal....as it was new. Its more just a pet peeve. Creepyandcrawlwy I was actually hoping you'd respond as I hear great things about you. I use xda quite a bit but just became a memebr thinking of would help if I had any questions as I advanced in my phone Modding abilities . Thanks again for all the help and ill try all this again.

And actually my wifi don't work either after flashing back to stock any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
did you wipe data/factory reset?
Yea sure did before and after reflashing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
It doesn't make sense then. If you flashed back to stock using Entropy's unbrick/return to stock package and a wipe, it should be totally stock, and wifi should work. Could it be a problem with the router?
I dunno I don't get it niether I got my wifi working but still have a count. And phone is not ota updating either. It keeps saying up to date bit I'm still running 2.3.4. My brother got his update.

Its totally a personal matter. I've been using Unnamed since shortly after I got the phone and there hasn't been any reason to change.

Is there any way that maybe I've missed to either a) root the TMo GS3 without triggering the counter (I saw methods for AT&T and others) or b) reset the counter after triggering it? I've searched and searched without finding anything. Is there anything out there or would it be fairly simple to create something? I'm willing to get my hands dirty to create this if somebody is able to help me through he process.
Are the methods AT&T users use reproducible for us?
Bump
I'm looking for a way too. Havent rooted yet till I find a way. I have 30 days to try out Tmo through costco but I want to root so I can restore my apps+ data back via titanium.

Costco is the best! Great prices on phones too! There will be a way to reset it eventually. That is my GUESS.
Okay, I've found the process for creating the proper files so this can be done. It'll just be a specific Odin file, slightly tweaked from a stock Odin file.
I've never tried this before although it seems to be fairly standard with Galaxy devices. I don't believe ANYBODY has ever tried this on a T999 before.
I'm thinking I'll have something to test with this weekend. Anybody interested in helping me to test this? If you do, you do so knowing that this may
1) trigger your counter anyways, and
2) brick your phone into oblivion and make it blow up and kill your dog
If anybody's willing to take the plunge, I'll chime back in later to coordinate the testing. I need others to risk triggering their counter as I have 1 and only 1 device with the counter still at 0 and I want to personally see it successfully in action before I publicly release it. But if I miss something and trigger my counter, then I'll never be able to test it again until we find a way to reset the counter.
Thanks for taking the initiative. Hope you get successful results.
It's a triple digit counter. Go over 999 it resets

Looking at the description in Play:
!!! Your device must be rooted to be able to use Mobile ODIN. Check the list below to see if your device is supported !!!

^Right, you have to be rooted, so your counter will already be at 1 at least.

Okay, gotcha. So my method is still necessary to avoid that first counter trigger. Thanks for the clarification.

Hit me up on Twitter (@Jaxidian) or GTalk (Jaxidian)? I'll get you Dropbox links when I have this ready (will be doing it over the weekend unless something comes up).

Anybody else interested in helping test? Remember, I'm probably going to brick your phone and make it turn into a Decepticon where it'll kill your goldfish. And more realistically, if I mess it up, it'll probably be a soft-brick that will require a stock Odin flash and/or it'll trigger your flash counter.
So I'm mostly finished creating the file for this but I'm stopping. mrRobinson beat me to it, and apparently did so last night!

Good Evening,
I am a noob to the forum and android as a whole. I have a Galaxy S3 UK T-Mobile a few months ago I was getting annoyed as TMobile were not issuing the JellyBean update. I took matters into my own hands and unbranded the phone and installed the Jellybean update.
Recently the phone has been freezing/crashing upto 20/30 times a day and its is understandably getting annoying. I have reinstalled the custom firmware as I want to get it back to Samsung but I can't reset the Binary Counter!
I have been scouring the internet for the last few days and there are many tutorials/youtube videos showing how to do it with a programme called Triangle Away. I downloaded this but it doesn't work as my phone is not Rooted.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Please be gentle on a noob!
application like triangle away won't be able to functional until you root your phone ...
Is there any way I can reset the binary counter without rooting my phone??

No there isnt,
You will have to root, and use Triangle Away.
Thank you for the help.
Which is the easiest method of rooting as there appears to be many different ways to do it?

Just use the chainfire root kernel for closest to stock or any of the other custom kernels.

I've noticed on my phone that on the right side my phone is developing dust in it and on close inspection you can see that there's a big gap compared to everywhere else. I've had the phone for a few months on contract and got it through carphone warehouse and after speaking to them they said they will send it back to Samsung.
I'm on a custom ROM and need to get back to stock and reset my flash counter to get my warranty back. I've got an idea how to do it but would appreciate your guys expert knowledge. I've read that you need to use triangle away but heard people say that it can break your touchscreen.
Thanks.
Use the guide in the stickies. Easy like that.

On the triangle away thread it says if you're on s3 you need to be on stock rom for it to work but the instructions on the sticky don't say that plus he's using ICS.
Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148708
Triangle away also runs with custom roms as it is more connected to the bootloader (?) Or recovery then the rom.
