Reset counter and yellow triangle with usb jib - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I was wondering, I'm using a custom rom, Hydra-h2o (aokp based), and I have a usb jib. Phone model GT-I9100.
Thinking of testing it out of curiosity and I see that when I insert it, it goes to download mode but it doesn't reset the counter nor does it remove the yellow triangle.
Is that expected? Can it be done? Or whenever I need to reset the counter/triangle I should first go back to a stock rom?
Thanks for your answers

Probably this is related to old/new bootloader. Go to this thread and scroll down to the section in bold red.

I'm using hydra-h2o which is an aokp android 4.0.4 custom rom. Below the bold red section I see a bunch of stock roms up to 4.0.3.
Should I just use one of those? Right now my base band reads XXLPX using hydra kernel.
Cheers,

I was just referring to the boot loader issue here.

Depends what your goal is: if you want to go back to stock you can use one of those.
If you just want to reset the counter with the JIG the read bold text applies. I normally just flash the old boot loader, then plug the JIG to reset the counter and then reflash the new boot loader.

He meant the red text referring to the bootloader tarball.

Ok, I think you refer to this:
" 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: Download
Here is the new Gingerbread bootloader tarball if you want to flash it back after resetting your binary counter: Download
Here is the ICS bootloader tarball if you want to flash it back after resetting your binary counter: Download"
I'm supposed to download and flash through Odin (pda section), the first link bootloader. Then use the jig and then flash the bootloader from third link. Correct?
Sorry I make many questions. I'm pretty noobish still about this topics and I rather be sure I understand procedure.
I tried downloading but all links show an 403 server error. xD
Thanks again.

One important before rooting

I need to ask one more thing,So lets say i flash a custom rom like MIUI on Clockworkmod Recovery,will the kernel be flashed as well?
That means the triangle wont appear right?
then why use mobile odin and ktool?
Thx in advance.. Tried searching for ans,still can't find ...
Please help here

No, all roms are designed to be flashed by CWM.
Some roms come in tar files which require odin.
It depends on how the developer packaged it.

Then how do I remove the triangle permanently?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
You can remove the triangle the easy way or the not so easy way.
1. Buy a jig off ebay, turn your phone off plug it in and your done.
2. Follow the instructions found on the cf root thread, don't just reflash a secure kernel because you will lose root. This process a little more involved but not too complicated.
ps if you have a rom with the new boot loader the jig won't work, that being said most devs include the old bootloader so it shouldn't be a problem. There is no way to permanently remove the triangle, if you flash unofficial kernels etc through odin the triangle will return so just use cwm to do your flashing and you'll avoid the triangle.

[Q] Factory Mode on Galaxy S2 using USB Jig

Hi,
When I used my own made Micro Usb JIG, to reset the binary count, i am getting download mode with the following texts on top,
FACTORY MODE (in red)
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i19100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
I have made the gig after properly checking the resistance and all, (100K X 3 serially soldered in to 4 & 5 pins)
I don't know why I am not getting odin mode instead of "factory mode" for resting the count and to appear the text in green "erasing download information succeeded"
I have not read any such experience of anybody yet, if somebody has, please share with any solutions ...
[[email protected]
you should not be getting into odin as it is an application no a mode that you need to connect your phone to.
If you have successfully used the jig you should be in download mode. I would check your jig again making sure that you have the right pins connected. The phone sees your jig but is not processing the information properly.
hey, can you post a picture of the Jig you made just to check it
Also, what firmware are you currently on? Newer bootloaders on official firmwares (2.3.5+) were patched so the jig doesn't work on them. You have to flash the old bootloaders to get the jig to work. See Intratech's official firmware thread.

Yes I am getting into download mode but with the "FACTORY MODE" connectable with odin through PC, I checked its added there, but my concern is to reset my binary counter, which I could not, if my pins of usb jig were incorrect I should not get the download mode. But what I watched in youtube is, as soon as Jig is conneced it should get downlad mode in ODIN MODE and saying in green text "erasing download information succeeded"

My current firmware is JPKJ2 routed by CF root v4.4, I managed to delete the yellow warning as directed by Chainfire in his thread, flash stock kernel through ODIN, and flash CF root kernal image from CWM application. now warnig desappeared and Current Binary showing Samsung official. but when I connect my Jig its is same FACTORY mode.....no reseting.
My phone is only one month old may be the new patched bootloder is the matter, Could you tell me how to flash old bootloader safely...
our concern is the reseting of the binary counter and the warrantee, if I flash a new bootloder it may reset counter but, can they identify the flashing of old bootloader.
thanks

Bout halfway down the page in bold red text on this page you will find details of the old bootloader & a link to download same. Flash this in the PDA section of Odin & your jig should reset the flash counter.

I would be grateful if you could answer my these doubts too.
1) If Samsung release the ICS through KIES will I be able to receive update on my CF rooted firmware.
2) is the complete package coming in flashable MD5 file containing bootloder too?
3) do the roms coming in zip file CWM flashable include all Kernal, Radio etc...?
thanks
1) You should be able to get Kies upgrades if you're running a CFRoot kernel over stock firmware. Obviously if you put a non-stock rom on your phone, you'll need to re-flash/go back to stock if you want firmware upgrades via Kies. You can also use Checkfus (search on here for it if you ever need it) to check/download official firmware that's normally available via Kies if you can't use Kies for some reason.
2) Yes. Any roms you download in tar (with md5 hash attached) format normally contain bootloaders (the one's available in Intratech's threads do, for example).
3) That depends on the rom. Refer to the particular thread relating to the rom/or wherever you download it from if you don't get it from here with regard to what's included with the rom. But yes, normally, most roms are packaged with the rom itself, kernel & modem.

Hi all i got a question, ive got my sgs2 yesterday..
If im on an official rom 2.3.6, could i flash a kernel of Android 2.3.4 in order to get the jig to work ? Or is that impossible ?
Do i need to flash my whole device into 2.3.4 in order to get this to work ?

Noooo you need to flash the old bootloader not kernel.
Go check out intratechs official firmware thread. Start at 1st post and read down till you get to where he talks about the bootloader and provides a link to the bootloader.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Help with Galaxy S2 ICS 4.0.3 bootloader???

I want to reset my custom binary counter using a USB jig, but it turns out that the newer bootloaders used in 2.3.4 or something onwards renders the jig useless. I can flash an old bootloader that still works with the jig, but I'm afraid that after this my phone will no longer boot as I am using XXLPB android version 4.0.3.
Does using an old <2.3.4 bootloader on ICS work? I don't want to find out the hard way.
There is an app by ChainFire, TriangleAway in the dev thread which can be used to reset binary counter. Check that out.
Note : CF says it's bit risky to do so, but you can try if you are willing to.
Flash the old bootloader, jig it/reset the flash counter, flash the new bootloader. Done. I posted both the old & new bootloaders to a thread yesterday (search for it).

Just curious, I am up to the point where I bought a USB jig from ebay seller and found out that it does not work on my upgraded Samsung Galaxy S2 which I loaded DPXL7 ICS and rooted. I see that I have to flash an old Samsung boot loader for the jig to reset the counter and remove the yellow triangle. Can find the download for the old boot loader but cannot find where to download the new ICS boot loader to put it back to original ICS. So now I see there is a free software you mentioned TriangleAway which you said removes the yellow triangle. But does it reset the flash counter to 0 also? If not I want to find the "new" ICS boot loader file so I can restore back to all ICS original build after I flash the old boot loader and use the USB jig to reset things. I'm searching but finding it hard to locate the threads or websites that give a good working download link. Thanks for any helpers out there!

[Q] Query: JIG on ICS (old bootloader)

A simple question that I couldn't find here.
I used to use the old booloader on Gingerbread 2.3.6, in order to make the JIG work.
Now I use ICS 4.0.3 LPQ, and I want the JIG working...
The question is...
Can I use the same old bootloader from GB on a ICS rom?? Will it brick my mobile If I flash it?
I know about the app "triangle away" which resets the binary counter, but I wonder If some day I can't enter the download mode for any reason.
Thanks!

Regarding the Binary Count, is there any way to check it?
I had triangle, then installed Resurrection 1.0, which removed the triangle.
Does this mean that the count is reset? Any way to check?
Thank you
Pls install triangle away and open it...it will show the count....i tried and it works like gem......
Or goto vol down power and home key combination there also it will shw the xount

Just try what Makrilli suggested and use CWM to flash the old bootloader, not the standard download mode. Other users reported it works (as bootloader is not FW related, so it seems), google is your friend.

guYs,
I don't have a SGS2 but a SGY but the jig business still kinda applies.
reason for some above statements is obviously, that on many fone pcbs you have those JIG_ON and JIG_ON_JTAG hardware signals. the jig, on some boards, is kinda hardwired-OR to the POWER_ON signal. on SGY, JIG_ON powers up the device which is a process you cannot possibly keep from happening by an updated firmware. also jig leads to FACTORY MODE whereas via 3-button-combo you get to ODIN MODE. would be interesting to know where this "FACTORY MODE" is located in firmware, exactly ...

How do I use CWM to flash the bootloader? It only lets install zip files. It won't let me install the md5 file. I ask because I flashed the old bootloader using Odin but it wont reset my counter so I was thinking about flashing it using CWM.

Problem with Unroot/Flash Counter UK S3

Previously I had rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on 4.1.2 in order to learn more about what is possible through first hand experience. However, my phone developed some faults and it is due to be handed in to a store in a few days, therefore I need to be able to revert the device status and reset the flash counter. I had tried using Triangle Away but to no avail. I then searched around and found out that re-flashing official firmware back onto the phone and doing a wipe data and wipe cache from recovery will solve my problem. It didn't .
However, the official firmware I re-flashed too was not the original firmware I initially had when I first got the phone last year because as an idiot, I forgot to note it down.
I am now on;

Just had a read through my OP and yeah It is a little misty.
Basically, I need to reset the flash counter. I've tried Triangle Away before flashing a stock rom via Odin and it didn't work. I read that re-flashing would reset the flash counter but it didn't. I then did a factory reset in recovery and that changed the custom binary to official.

Did pre order the phone from Carphone Warehouse on Orange pay monthly. Didn't have these little extra pop ups and logos that I have now with the original post mentioned firmware.
Just about to try Triangle Away right now...
Re-rooted and Device Status is still modified and the flash counter was at 2 and went down to 1 again. Custom Binary and System Status are both Custom
I don't know what else to do.
Hope someone comes along to help soon.

I think anything post XXELLA has the problem as it is due to the new bootloader, any Odin flash triggers the exclamation mark, and it won't go until you are back to stock state, however you can flash back to old bootloader, with a zip, the thread is in general with 4 or 5 bootloader to choose from.
Of course that is a risk, but worked for me fine, although I'm back on new bootloader now

Yup, same firmware I'm on, best yet imho, although I have made a couple of minor tweaks I'm UK unbranded by the way, so it's the correct firmware for me, first I've tried in a very long time!

You'll have to run triangle away first.
Search for unroot.
