Even If I flash back to the original vodafone rom and reset everything. After having a custom rom/kernel my warranty is void right?
Not necessarily.
If you put a stock rom back on and clear the counter with an app or jig then who is to know you put a custom rom on at all?

Yes you will lose your warranty, if you flash.you can set back your internal counter with an USB jig, if you need to send in your phone in a case of warranty, but I don't know if that is a legal way to get your warranty back.

This guy is right. Morally as soon as you mess about flashing roms you void your warranty. But there are ways to technically cover your tracks. Its up to you whether you try them or not!
I suspect anyone on here returning their phone has done these things
One of my friends sent their phone in for a hardware issue (rocker button stopped working) they didn't put stock back on or clear counter but they got it back fixed - but completely back to stock..
Counter can be cleared with a jig or app called triangle away.

Yea, simply just flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com, and reset the flash counter with a USB jig that you can buy on ebay for like £3, and the repair service has no idea! By the way, I have done this, no questions asked.

I am asking this cause I'm selling my phone and the guy I'm selling it to want's warranty xD (Sorry guys but I'm moving on to the Galaxy Nexus xD)
Get you an USB jig and a stock firmware and your buyer should be happy
Have fun on the nexus
Once you put custom firmware on your phone or root it, you should lose all expectation of warranty service/replacement in the future. Regardless of any methods you might be able to use to put the phone into a state somewhat similar to when it was bought.
Yes, if you go back to stock & reset the flash counter there has been many people on here who have received warranty service. There has also been people on here who have done this & still been denied warranty service. How they've been found out we'll never know.
You need to be honest with whomever you're selling it to there's always a chance they won't get paid for service if they need it.

Is this a special USB jig or the standard jig for getting into download mode that does reset the counter?
There's only one jig. If you find it doesn't work, you're probably running the 'new' bootloader. If that's the case, flash the 'old' bootloader (download link in Intratech's firmwares thread) & the jig should work.

reset counter?
Hi,
I just came back from Serendipity 6.4 to stock 2.1 on my captivate using ODIN 1 click. Because of the GPS issues on my phone the warranty dept were ready to replace my device). I am going to return it tomorrow.
I have done a factory reset and deleted all the unwanted folders. I am not sure as what you meant by "Counter". Could you please let me know if I need to take care of something else before i return the phone.
i dont want to get into any trouble while returning the device or after returning the device.
Thanks.

On the SGS2 there is a counter that increments each time you flash a custom kernal/rom and the SGS2 is also rumoured to have a counter-has-been-reset counter, just to complicate everything
It is unknown at this stage if it exists, and if so, if it can be reset.

Thats probably true why have two counters .
Odin does not affect warranty its of itself a tool .
Flashing a custom rom will rooting will .
Flashing a stock rom could lead to rejection by a vendor if you bought from Vodafone and do not have the Voda firmware they could reject warranty but in that case the Samsung warranty would still be in place .

That's because it's a captivate and not a SGS2....
Tough to say based on the counter and the hidden counter counter rumours. I'd be inclined to say Samsung should be alright with it based on them sending certain ROM developers the phone.
Hey,
As far as my reading experience goes in the forum. I guess the counter does'nt click for the non-rooted firmwares i.e. released by samsung. It only clicks if we root the phone. Basically updating KIES stock releases like (XWKF3, XXKG5, XXKH3->the latest) don't void warranty. Then again I might be wrong because diff people have diff opinions on this. Anyone care to clarify ......
Cheers,
The only reason to send the phone back would be hardware malfunction, as this phone pretty much cannot be bricked. So I don't see why the warranty wouldn't work, considering custom ROMs are not going to be the reason for faulty hardware. That said, before sending back the phone, I would still flash the default ROM and reset the flash counter with a USB jig, just to be safe.
Yeah i guess you are right. Since the phone is unbrickable most of the software problems can be solved by flashing the rom by oneself. For hardware issues we can we can always switch to the region specific stock rom. But then again my question comes to jigging the phone do we really need to do this if we are not rooting or not flashing a custom rom. I mean we only update the stock kies releases only using odin ? Does the counter still tick ?

ODIN voiding the warranty
I flashed the official updated ROM by ODIN to my Samsung E5 & it never VOID my warranty. Not even reset the country. OFFICIAL status maintained as previous. ODIN does not cause any problem. Thanks.
I have read up on this a bit, but I want to be sure, as I am rooting and flashing tomorrow. So excited!
So when you do Volume Up after trying to enter Download mode (accepting the warning), you flash a ROM, you'll have a triangle on the kernel boot screen and a flash counter right?
And how do you get rid of it? I heard a JIG works, but I talked to a friend with an i9100 and he says the JIG doesn't work after a specific firmware. Does it work for us on KH7? And what value, the standard 301k?
Someone suggested this http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode-jig/ is there anything better? Cheaper? Anything that won't work I should look out for?
One more thing. Can a mod make a Q&A section like the Captivate had? I feel bad posting this in General.
Thanks for teaching an ex Android expert the ropes after being away so long *tear*
So far the only things I've read about reseting the count and get rid of the yellow triangle is the jig. I actually just ordered the one from that website. So ill let u know how it goes when ever I get it. I know my old cappy jig didn't work. Hopefully I didn't waist my money on this new one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
From what I have been able to find out. It is the non-stock kernel that is bringing up the yellow triangle up and aside from flashing a stock kernel there isn't a way to get rid of it yet. I've heard that maybe a jig will help but haven't seen it confirmed anywhere

Someone did have success with a jig.
Also, it only checks the kernel for "official" status when you flash, and it does not check the system image. So you can flash a kernel on-device if you have root from a shell:
Code:
dd if=zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
The jig I had for my captivate does get rid of the yellow triangle. Just turned off phone, held down volume buttons, inserted jig, then it said count has been zeroed or something to that effect. I rebooted and yellow triangle was gone.

I used my home made cappy jig and it too cleared my counter and removed the yellow triangle.
On a side note the firmware on the i9100 that seems to disable this feature has to do with new bootloaders from what i read. And most of us former cappy owners have learned to stay away from unproven bootloaders.

Interesting. My new SGSII is on it's way, but I am curious about this as well. I've got a jig for my cap that I'll try, but if all else fails, has anyone been able to confirm that flashing back to bone stock (via the Odin pack that is posted) will revert it back to normal (i.e. for warranty replacements)?
EDIT: I also just read another potentially disturbing article that there may be a second hidden counter that counts how many times that the counter has been reset: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117295&highlight=counter
I usually wouldn't care, but I've had to return my cap twice for warranty issues, and I wouldn't want to get screwed if I had a problem with my new one.
At the very minimum I may just try and root using SuperOneClick -- does anyone know if the process uses the download mode or screws with the counter?

Yes, the methods use to root involve changing out the kernel to allow SuperOneclick to work so this also adds to the odin counter.
I bought my jig off ebay and I confirmed days ago that it worked. I bought it for my i9100 and it works for my i777 as well.

Yes, for SOC to work you must use download mode to install an insecure or rooted kernel.
However, the counter does NOT count system image flashes as far as I can tell - so if you use my "stock + root" system package, you'll get root without increasing the counter or triggering the ! flag.
After that, you can flash a zImage on-device as follows using an ADB shell or terminal session:
Code:
dd if=zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
This will flash a custom kernel without triggering the custom kernel warning or increasing the counter.

You will need the jig to reset the counter and you will need a stock ROM to flash back to stock. Is stock ROM available yet? Those are the two things I need at hand before doing any rooting or flashing custom ROMs.

Just tell Best Buy that you have no idea why there is a yellow triangle there.. >_>
There is a small (very small) chance some warranty service types might give you grief about the custom binary count being non-zero.
However if you're just plain returning the device to an AT&T store, the device will be returned and your money back before the device reaches Samsung and they pull the counter (if they even bother to do so.)
So just doing the Return to Stock from my thread should do the trick in almost all cases.
Now in my case... If I ever have problems I'm using a jig, my custom binary count is over 40 now.
i actually just want to return my s2 for an exchange to a new s2. i think i got a bad s2, battery just not good on mine.

You may have to enter 3e recovery and wipe after you return to stock, but other than that:
Just odin the kernel + non-rooted system.
And yes, if you never touched the modem, no need to flash it. If you're returning to stock to return, I would:
Flash kernel + nonrooted system
Enter recovery and wipe (same method for entering CWM from poweroff, but with stock kernels you wind up in 3e)
Check to make sure your baseband is UCKH7 in Settings->About Phone. If it isn't, flash the modem.

BTW I don't think removing the Yellow Exclamation point resets the counter. If they know how to look for that, they can still see that you flashed the phone. The Jig removes the exclamation mark AND resets the counter to 0. So, all you have to do at that point is flash the stock rom, insert jig, and phone was as if you didn't tamper with it at all.
At least that's I hope the jig can do, cause why did I spend $8!!!???

Yes, this has been reported in the i9100 forums with regard to the International version of the SGS II. Developers in this forum say otherwise. I havn't seen any posts proving this one way or the other. I havn't even seen any screen shots of the counter being anything other than "no".
Pretty much everyone agrees that the jig resets both. But it is also reported that bootloaders installed with the leaked versions of the stock rom do not allow the warning to be cleared or the counter to be reset with the jig.
I'd like to see some proof on these issues, or at least reports of first hand experience that gives us some verification on these issues.
Today I just decided to change the rom to my S2 from foxhound 1.0 to Miui.
I use siyah kernel 3.1 rc6, so I wanted to use the dual boot option, I made a nandroid backup and clone foxhound rom to secondary.
After this I did the data wipe and the device got freezed, and now it's full bricked.
I have a jig and didn't work.
Is there another way to fix it or just I have to take it to the service?
Need a Jig...
Sorry about the brick... is your jig a purchase or build? A trip to Radio Shack or a purchase on Amazon (search for Samsung jig) may be your only choice. Unfortunately I do not know if there is another method to unbrick. Have you tried reflashing the stock ROM?

I'll try with the warranty service.
rc6
I flashed two roms with rc6and fortunatly all always went well.
I think that the problem is the battery that it goes down and the phone doesn't start.
so did u find any solution?
I took it to th service tomorrow I will have news about it. I will update this thread.
It couldn't be the battery because y have it conected to the power meanwhile flashing.
Good luck , hope the warranty will works and you will have an happy ending.
I got my phone yesterday, isn't my old phone it is a new one. My mobile company changed it, they said my old phone had the electronic card sulfated, it is very odd for a device with 2 months of use.

Yes mate best to put it back to stock and use the triangle away if you wish to reset the flash counter

Read the post so you understand the risks and get a jig if you dont have one

is that even covered if YOU damaged it?
thanks,
that link is for ICS im still on the one before that, gingerbread is it
is it still valid for that?
If it's a new phone here in the UK some providers will replace it in the first month regardless of fault and if you have insurance to cover accidental damage then again they will repair/replace regardless of blame

yes mate even if i drop it down the toilet my phone insurance covers it
dont think it works for GB roms though not sure if the counter applies to them anyway ?so best not risk using it on GB rom :-( suppose you could try flashing stock ICS where ever you are through KIes and blame that on the triangle ;-)
do i need to put the stock kernal back on as well or just the rom?
think ill try get it back to stock first then tackle the yellow triangle
ok just been having a read up and just need someone to confirm this for me
im on 2.3.5 and i have my stock kernal still saved on my pc I9100XWKF3_Kernel.TAR
all i need to do is put the phone back onto the original kernel the use a jig to reset the binary counter ?
