my binary counter show no insted of 0 is it good ?
Yes, it is good.
Binary counter shows how many times something non official has been flashed to the phone.
Anything other than one voids samsung warranty

Hi,
Does GT-P7500 have a flash counter?
If it does, is there a way to reset it?
I really would like to root my tab
Yes it does, but mine is still 0 and i'm rooted. It seems it counts only if you install unofficial rom with odin.
What would be best way to do it, that the counter stays zero?

I updated to KI1 using Odin and then applied the root.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089) using recovery menu.
Sorry for the noob question, but what is the flash counter for?

It counts how many times you have flashed unofficial software on your device. If the count is higher then 0 then Samsung will probably refuse to repair it under warranty.

You can Install custom ROMs using CWM. I don't know how to reset the counter.

How to find that counter?
*uses necromancer skill to revive dead thread*
hey guys,
since i was disappointed twice by the asus transformer prime, i'm thinking about getting a galaxy tab.
i really wanna use custom roms and kernels.. so, can someone please clarify the following things:
1. is there any way to reset the custom counter like you can on the sgs2?
2. do CWM flashes affect the custom counter or not?
thanks in advance!
is there really no one out there with an answer?
It has a counter.But you'll be good if you restrict to cwm.

Does flashing a custom recovery make the counter counts

How is reset counter?
counter ?? hmmm
a good piece of info....need it badly how to find the counter
On my GT-P7510 there is a counter that can be seen in the text in downloading mode. Flashing CWM and installing ROMs through CWM does not seem to affect it, mine is still at 0.
Ok, if I flash cwm the counter will stay zero...If I however flash back to stock recovery then what? I have read that the counter only increases if a custom kernel, not rom, is flashed. So does flashing stock rom (including STOCK kernel), from samfirmware.com affect the counter? Hope someone with more knowledge than me sees this. Thanks!

i just searched for reseting counter, too.
But its right, it seems not to count. I had installed various Custom Roms via Odin and the Counter still says Original Samsung and also is still zero.
you can find the counter when entering Downloading mode (Power+VolumeDown and than choose Download)
(P-7500)

What was unclear about this? It removes the custom binary flash counter, the one you see if you've flashed a non Samsung kernel from download mode, and also the corresponding indicator (triangle) when you boot your phone afterwards.

So don't flash anything, stick to stock, and wait for official updates via Kies.
I don't have triangle... I removed it using some other method... I have 2 counter.. but I just want to know why the need of reseting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Resetting the flash counter isn't 'necessary'. But if you ever want to send your phone in for warranty service, not resetting the flash counter before you send it in for service might well mean you end up paying for your phone to be repaired/replaced rather than having same done on Samsung's dime.
Clear ?

Samsung warranty .
Void if custom rom or rooted phone or root apps or custom rom counter above zero .
Its as simple as that .
USB recovery jig can set custom rom to zero but not on later firmware with newer bootloader such as beta ICS .

Thank you.. I got answer..

Hello, i've heard that Samsung has a custom binary download counter, so my question is; does SONY have that too?
The reason is that i flashed many custom roms on my phone and now I have some dead pixels on my camera and i can't send it back to Sony cause I already destroyed my warranty and I heard if I reset a custom binary download counter i will be able to restore my warranty?

To the best of my knowledge Sony does not have a custom binary download counter like Samsung devices have. If you restore the stock ROM to your device you should be good to go to send it back.

It doesn't effect your root (be sure to have triangleAway-supported kernel- such as stock)

Triangle Away is the only way to rest the binary count. It's only asks root permission.
