I've a GT-I9100G with 3e recovery. Tried the old bootloader from Intratech's thread. But Odin failed (see image). I got it working by flashing the stock bootloader.
So here I assume old bootloader isn't compatible with I9100G, right? I've searched but everyone is pointing to the same bootloader used for I9100. While none of the G's owners reported back their success (or failure).
Any other ideas on how downgrade to be able to reset counter with a jig?

An i9100 is not a i9100G and they have different firmwares so the bootloader is also different.You could try and reflash an older firmware until there is and older flashable bootloader.Although once the new bootloader is set i dont know if its changable.If you know what older firmware you need I could look for it.
yea figured that pretty much. However the phone came loaded with the mentioned firmware. I tried to figure which firmware was compatible with it but no luck.
Any idea, resource or list one could look into? and how much old of firmware should one try to get the 2e recovery? I read somewhere that 3e was introduced on Android v2.2
Thanks cooza. I hope someone could point me to the right direction on this one.

its quite possible that the G-series being released after the i9100 international came with the new bootloader pre-installed from the factory and that will be why its so hard to find a solution.I can only guess that in time with new firmwares someone will be able to find a way to make the old i9100 bootloader compatable with the newer series phones like the G,M and T galaxies and hopefully it will be Odin flashable to help other owners out.
Pls help

Please help or direct as i've tried everything.
Cheers,
sorry to bumping old thread..
i reset my counter with flash back with ODIN.
just flash PDA with stock DZKI1
no need pit and no need repartition..
after that just flash any rom and i can use USB Jig to reset the counter..
Here is a patch for the i9100g.
It is the bootloader from firmware DZKJ2.
View attachment i9100g_jig-patch.tar
Use ODIN and flash this file with checked bootloader option.
Then you can use JIG to reset the binary counter.

Hello. I am using CM9 right now. I found that I couldn't reset binary counter with my USBjig. Will this patch still works for me? Since I am using ICS right now with CM9. Hope to get answer and sorry for pumping question to this old thread. Thank you guys.

Hi, yes i confirm to you if you flash an GB bootloader over an ICS bootloader that will brick your device, that happened two times for me...
Somebody can tell me if this patched bootloader works with an ICS bootloader, please ? Because i don't want to brick it again. Thanks.

No...ics and gb bootloaders are different...you cant boot up windows on a mac bootloader....remember for any software it will have backward compatibility not forward...so gb bootloader cant run ics..

Any answer...
so can i or not flash this patch over ics bootloader to reset the counter with a jig afterwards?
question:
does TriangleAway works on i9100G ?
Hi,
I used the patch in ICS rom but it fails in Odin,
What is the solution?
I've a Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100G. Now, I want to replace it.
I've unrooted it.
I've bought the USB JIG for GT-19100.
Now, I used that jig to reset that counters (3 for me) but it doesn't work - It does proceed to the Download Mode but doesn't do anything.
Now, my doubts are:
WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I DO TO REPLACE IT?
Is the USB JIG is different for the G variant?
Do I need to root first?
Is there anyone with the I9100G who has successfully reset the binary counters?
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT
What to do now!

Its weird that the jig doesn't work. My best bet is that you should flash an ics rom and then use chainfires triangle away app to clear the binary.

I've found the solution
Thanks for trying to help me.
But for guys who are experiencing problems in resetting binary counters, here is the SOLUTION
Removing Binary Counter using USB Jig
Binary can only be removed using USB Jig which can be bought from online shop or local shop if applicable
So far only old bootloader (KJ2 and lower) can be used for removing binary binary counter
If running newer than KJ2, for example KL3 and above, you need to flash back the old bootloader for the USB Jig to work again
Normally, to use USB Jig, just turn off the phone and plug the USB jig. Done
Download the attached i9100g-reset-binary-counter.zip and extract to get tar file. Password : mahadirlab-reset-b001 (Credit to Mahadir Ahmad)
Using Odin, just replace the PDA file with this provided tar file
Do not use PIT file and start the flashing
Now you can use the USB Jig just like mentioned above

I flashed stock ICS 4.0.3. LPQ through ODIN and flashed CF-root. Now I would like to remove yellow triangle and flash counter with USB jig which I have here. I was reading about USB jig wont reset flash counter if stock ICS is flashed because of new bootloader. Can I flash old bootloader to make USB jig working? I have done that on stock 2.3.5 firmware and USB jig has done his job well but can I do the same on stock ICS now? Can I brick my sgs2 with that? Thanks!

yes it is if you know this...
1: your on ics bootloader
2: checked download mode and know what the counter says.
If triangle away says differently don't forward. Otherwise yes.
I'V done multiple times.
well, if bootloader updates with new ROM then I'm on ICS bootloader and flash counter is on 1 at this moment cause I've reset it before with jig whrn I was on 2.3.5 rom

Hi,
First post in this forum but have been on XDA for a while now (galaxy ace/note). Did look for this before posting. My wife has an S2 and it recently updated (via kies) to ICS. Its the UK (H3G) carrier version. Im not new to rooting/roms/flashing etc as have flashed my old galaxy ACE countless times CM7/9 etc.
I understand the S2 has a custom flash counter which could screw up warranty.
She hates this (H3G) ICS as it has quite a load of bugs. (Freezes lots etc) and I was wondering the following:-
1 - Do you need to root the s2 to flash via ODIN?
2 - Will flashing a stock ROM from sammobile increase the flash counter?
3 - If so will triangle away work to get rid?
She is not keen on the warranty being void but will happily go back to GB if I can do it for her.

You can root using odin, flashing anything will increase your counter and Triangle away does work but it can hard brick you phone at the same time.

Cheers for the quick reply. The first question was do you need root for odin? is Triangle away that risky?
A. No.
B. No.
C. No need if not rooted as flashing official firmware package will not increase the counter. An insecure kernel will.
Just follow Intratech's official firmware thread. Has all the instructions you need.

Thanks for the answer. So Ill just grab the H3G 2.3.3 from sammobile and flash it. Shell be very happy!
If you want to remove the triangle and reset the counter you can use a jig usb and after flashing the old bootloader
I have miss read what you put, sorry about that i though you wanted to root.

Flashing the stock Rom = No Triangle
I flashed the leaked version of ICS using ODIN and didn't get the flash count triangle, It wasn't until I flashed the edited stock kernel that allows root (without effecting the rest of the phone) That I did.
But using Triangle away got rid of it and I feel the major warning message may be a little overkill as it only took a second and it doesn't even reboot the phone.

How can I reset flash counter on I9100G ?
well there are two ways
A.use triangle away to reset counter(not tested highly dangerous)
B.get usb jig and follow this
1.if your on ics flash back to gb and flash gb old bootloader
2.connect usb jig and your device will go download mode and you will see the counter reset
3.flash ics(if you want it) and to root it without increasing the counter follow method 2 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778

also eng.mohamed851
are you in ics or gb because triangle away works only for ics.
Triangle Away does not work on I9100g.. It says MAGIC HEADER NOT FOUND.
May be we need to request its developer to make it compatible with I9100G also..

How to install old bootloader and reset counter?
I have a Galaxy s2 GT-I9100 and unsuccessfully attempted to root the phone and the counter is on 5.
Current state of the phone is that it can only access download mode.
Tried a jig, that didn't work. Next tried to install old bootloader using Odin this also failed.
Initially the phone was running ICS and I believe I must have attempted to install an incompatible root kernel.
My intention was to reset the binary counter and then use Kies to restore the original firmware.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
