Edit 10/11/12
I received my jig from mobiletechvideos.com today. It worked as advertised. It reset the triangle, as well reset the custom binary download count to No, and reset current binary to "Samsung Official" even though I am running entropy512's 10092011 kernel.
Here is a link to a video, mine works just like the video

Has anyone tested a usb jig with the att gs2 yet?
It should work the same as with the i9100 version, but I was just wondering if anyone who has the phone that might have a jig and tested it yet.
I just tested my jig (I am rooted and had the triangle on my att version) and my count now says NO and the yellow triangle is gone.
Thanks, I wanted to just make sure before I bought our made one.

@Skyler2Dope
where can i get this jig? might come in handy someday. and i also want to get rid of my yellow triangle too.
Ebay, Amazon, xda market, mobiletechvideos.com or you can make on yourself just google "diy USB jig"

If I recall correctly, there are a few different possible resistor values for jigs? Which one is yours?
Now that I have a device with the bootloader counter, I need to get some resistors and finally open that package of MicroUSB breakouts from Sparkfun.
I'm considering buying the SGS II in the next week, what exactly does the Jig do? I didn't see much in terms of why you would need this for rooting so I figured I would inquire.
It will put your phone into download mode as long a your bootloaders are not corrupted (which can be done by other methods also), but more importantly it resets the binary flash counter to zero and removes the yellow triangle from the boot splash screen if you have a custom modified kernel or ROM flashed to your sgs2 phone.
All in all not a necessary device, but very useful to those who flash and modify their phone

So if I am not mistaken it's just a way to prevent AT&T Support from visually seeing you have at somepoint flashed a different kernel and theoretically voided the warranty.

Oh that wouldn't bother me in the least considering how rarely I reboot my device. Thanks, I appreciate the help. I anticipate that the community will have roms churned out left and right for this device based off the ease of hacking and the number of ROMs that were available for the Captivate.

my captivate jig worked on the S II
I think we will see a few people with old jigs that do work and old jigs that don't and it will be because slightly off the mark resistance. I bet those whose old jig that does not work will just need to tweak their jig by an ohm or two.
By the way I ordered a jig from mobiletechvideos.com yesterday and I will report back on if it works when I get it here.

Do you recall how many ohms your jig is and what wattage? I built mine with 301 ohms @1/4 Watts. Would unbrick Captivate to DL mode, but not soft-bricked Infuse. It would put working Infuse into DL mode though?????

It's not really a problem. The triangle doesn't affect you really. It's just an indicator that you the kernel you last flashed while the phone was in download mode was not signed by Samsung.
If it bothers you that much, you can either:
a) flash your stock kernel back while your phone is in download mode (via Odin/Heimdall/whatever)
b) use a USB jib, assuming your bootloader is old enough that a jig works.
Otherwise, you can just ignore the triangle. It doesn't affect your usage or performance of the phone whatsoever.
Agreed, I can confirm that the triangle and binary count does not affect the operation of your phone in anyway. I still have mine and see no reason to remove it at present.

I'm coming from an Xperia Play and do a lot of flashing. Is a jig necessary? I had Captivate and one time I bricked it so I had to send it in.
Thanks in advance.
Using a jig is not exactly super necessary.. unless you softbrick ur S3. the usb jig serves the same purpose to the S3 as to the captivate.. except the jig canr reset the binary counter of the S3's
I hope this helps

Well I know once I get the S3 I'll be doing a lot of stuff to it and I know I'll softbrick it one day.
All jig helps with is if you lose the three button download mode . Not hearing of many SGS3 users failing to get to download mode .
But at the price it makes sense to have one in hand .
IMEI corrupt + No backed up EFS folder is probably the biggest SGS3 problem mostly new users though .

Hi,
I have 9100G and has tried triangle away to see if that works however it does not recognize the 9100G device.
So wanted to know if there is any other way to reset the flash counter for 9100G?
Thanks

Triangle away works on ICS and up. You can try using a USB jig too.

I have custom JB ROM installed on my phone. Tried to run triangle away but it says "device not recognised".
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
I guess it is your phone's model. Try flashing another kernel or use a Usb jig. A usb jig should do the trick if others dont work.

One more request plz.. may i have the link for usb jig..
Thanks

You have to order a usb jig from eBay. Or make one yourself. There are countless videos on how to make them. And they cost less than $5. Good luck

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?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Just use the chainfire root kernel for closest to stock or any of the other custom kernels.
