Hey guys
I was wondering. My S2's build no. is XWKL1. If I root it by flashing CF-root can the flash count be reset with a usb jig? Or do I have to downgrade? Same question for if I wanna flash a custom ROM (Resurrection remix).
1st you dont have to root to erase your odin binary count, 2nd just try, put your jig in there for 12 seconds and if you dont see ODIN COUNT=NO that means it didnt work and you need to downgrade yours bootloader, just go to the stock rom's link in my signature, theres an whole how to somewhere in the post

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.

Cool
save those links just in case
ok so i wanted to reset the counter using usb jig.. but i went and updated via kies to KI8.. so i went to HERE and downloaded old bootloader the package one..
All packages below this point have the old bootloader so you can safely reset the binary counter with a Jig.
If you've already flashed a full package from elsewhere or updated using KIES and cannot reset your binary counter using the Jig just flash this package in the PDA or Bootloader section of Odin to replace the bootloaders and then you can reset the counter: http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD
Here are the new bootloader tarball if you want to flash them back after resetting your binary counter: http://www.multiupload.com/5LNOCL7KPV

and went using the latest odin which is 1.85 and flashed old bootloader into my SGS2 via PDA option and it seemed abit slower than the "original/new" bootloader
so question is:
does new bootloader boot faster than the old one?
Am not sure if there is any difference between the bootloaders but I flashed the newer one after wiping the binary counter just to be sure
one more question.. i have official rom with old bootloader if i flash in speedmod will it mess up with bootloader at all? do i need to flash old bootloader back or will it just flash kernel?

Just flash the kernel.
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????
Check this thread out:

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:

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I have so many times flashed my phone with different ROMs like MIUI, Android ver 2.3.6, 4.03. etc.
Just now I have flashed using odin CF Root Kernel. Then I have used USB JIG for resetting binary counter. Now my boot logo change, I want to make as original. How can I?
Do you mean you want the original boot logo/animation you had with your original stock rom ?
If so, you need to flash the original stock firmware that was on your phone. Might want to head over to Sammobile.com to find your original firmware & then flash it in Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
If you mean/are asking something else, please clarify what that is
Hi
Here is the case:
I have problems on my SGS2, and going to rma it.The reason for the rma is that I have usb problems an battery problems.
So now I need to get back to stock rom, unroot an remove CMW recovery. How can I do that?
I can not use Odin because of my usb problems. So I believe the solution will be flashing to stock rom using cwm recovery (and in the same prosses unroot)? Is that possible?
If so, where can i download a stock rom (nordic version) for flashing in cwm?
How do I later remove CWM recovery to get stock recovery?
(Sorry for my bad english)

Stock rom thread or Sammobile .com .
Use Mobile Odin to flash firmware from SD card that will remove root and CWM .

Mobile Odin would be a more sensible choice. If you currently have a custom binary count in download mode and no option of USB jig due to whatever problems you're having, a long winded convoluted method of resetting it would be to flash an ICS ROM (again with Mobile Odin, making sure to use a CF-root kernel in the process), use Triangle Away, then revert to a stock GB ROM.
I won't be elaborating on any of those things before you ask.
