Have any one notice this.
Used triangle away and my flash counter is 0
I wonder this has any impact for those who want to send their device for service/ warranty?

Read the thread for Triangle Away, it explains this.
Flash the stock rom for your region.
It will revert back to normal
Sorry to hijack your thread, but i noticed mine says the same, and i havent flashed it. However i have root access, so i guess that is enough to make it "modified".
Would this go back to normal, if i unroot it?
Funnily enough, I noticed this just today on mine - mine is an original unlocked phone, all I've done is root it.

Rooting it involves an "unauthorised" flash. You need to Triangle Away, pull the battery then revert to stock... As detailed in the Triangle Away post.
Just follow these two video in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710613
And you will be able to have your phones status say "Normal" instead of "Modified"
I just noticed this on my GNOTE II and was wondering can the service provider read this?
yes

Nosy mother f*ckers! My device MINE NOT YOURS! Now go sit in the corner.
On a serious note though I wonder if they can or will do anything due to this state being set as Modified.
they can deny warranty. you can easily revert to stock though
I have Assurion for that. Not worried about warranty claims. I was more worried about purposely affecting my internet speeds just to be ass holes. I could see Verizon doing that just to be Verizon.

oh, I thought you asked if they can read that if you send the phone to them
nah, I don't think they'll do that
sorry should have been more specific. I was meaning if they can digitally read it from their diagnostic software or whatever they have. I've never worked in a cell phone call center. Maybe I should go get a job at one just to scope out what they can and cannot find out by just a push of a button.

Hey all. I hate nothing more than looking around for problems I have with my stuff and then finding a forum post that shows the exact problem and then someone saying, "fixed it" and nothing more. So this is how I fixed the problem.
Basically I have no clue if i actually flashed a new bootloader. I couldn't care less. What I did was flash this SBF file using RDS Lite (ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH SBFs - Easy bricking!)
found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944 First SBF in the thread.
By reflashing that I have successfully removed the "unlocked" text at the top when booting the phone. Did I actually unlock the phone? I have no clue. But I feel confident enough to walk into an ATT store tomorrow and ask for a replacement.
Is there anyone out there that knows if it's possible for them to see at this point? Or by flashing that SBF did I completely put the phone to stock and make it identical to before I unlocked/rooted? Thanks!

If you unlocked your phone you "blow" a fuse, its irreversible as it PHYSICALLY blows a fuse, nothing to do with software. They can check if you have unlocked the bootloader before by checking the values of the ReservedODM. To quote eval-,
"You can view the state of your ReservedOdm by looking at /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm, if you are root. Mine looks like this:
10000000000010001000100004000
(before unlock:
10000000000010001000100000000)"
As you can see, unlocking your phone cannot be undone, but it is highly unlikely they will check.

I'm only concerned because as I understand this voids the warranty, yes?
I'm going to go to an ATT store tonight an exchange this phone for another one (I've had some random crashes not caused by software). I assume my current phone will be sent to a repair factory somewhere. Will they check this then? Will they then bill my account for it? Or will I be safe?

You should be alright. They rarely do check the fuses.
I've sent mine in twice and they fixed it both times. my fuse was "blown" and I was not charged. you should be okay.

Okay so I went to 2 different stores and they spread misinformation but the basic idea is I cannot do this exchange in store because it's a refurbished unit.
So they're sending me an alternate refurbished unit. And i'm sending this unit back.
Do I still have nothing to fear? Will they bill my account when I send them a device with the fuse blown?

You'll be fine, just flash gingerbread to remove unlocked. I sent my phone straight to Motorola under warranty and they repaired it without question. My issues were in no way related to flashing tho (fingerprint scanner and digitizer). I don't think you voided it from what I read you did, just put stock firmware back on it.

Haven't found this. Is rooting this device reversible in such a way as ATT cannot tell you ever rooted it and warranty/insurance would cover it if something comes up with the phone?
Rooting is reversible. You can use Odin and return the phone back to stock.

I tripped the flash counter on my ATT SGS2 and it even had the big triangle with exclamation point come up on boot after the counter was triggered. I had a problem with calls dropping and they could not determine the cause and I was able to swap it out for a new one in store even with a custom rom and the counter tripped. The guy at the ATT store didnt even pay attention when it booted up with the big triangle on the screen. I don't know if this guy just missed this or if ATT just doesnt care all together.
I think if you are really worried about your warranty then I would wait until a solution comes around to either reset the counter or root without tripping it in the first place just to be safe. Because when I got my replacement SGS2 they had already come up with another method that did not trip the flash counter.

Picking up this bad boy today. I wanted to root it first thing for no ads and to use mybackuproot to restore all my apps from my old HD2, but I guess I'll wait. If I get a bad screen or something I don't want them to say "well you tripped the flash counter, so we can't do **** for you"
if its a hardware problem they still have to replace it weather you rooted it or not. bad hardware is bad hardware. i have had people atleast on sprint return devices that had custom roms for what ever reason and as long as its a true hardware issue it would play no difference on the return

are you sure about that, I thought rooting violates all warranty claims.
depends on how you root. rooting a phone wont do much of anything. messing with your kernel will. kernel is what gets you in trouble most of the time.

I mean the carrier can say "no" to everything even if obviously the root didn't cause the problem because technically rooting voids the warranty. I've known Sprint to do this.
I'm not talking about what they "should" do or if rooting does anything bad, I'm talking about what ATT ACTUALLY does in these cases.
Buy a USB download jig. It resets your flash counter back to 0.

Read the forums. People have already tested and said multiple times that the jigs don't work on the Note due to a new bootloader.
I'm just curious as I'm new to this.
Not being a negative thinker here, but is there a chance that there will NEVER be a method that will reset the counters back to 0? Jig or what other methods can be used?
I love the Note and I was really excited on all this rooting stuff until I found out about this one. I have bad luck with gadgets as they fail on me most of the time even before the contract is up. It would be a pain that if it happens, Samsung will deny me the warranty because of that after paying $299.
Or could this "New Bootloader" be the new "Locked bootloader" (Like the Atrix when it was lauched?)
Thanks

It's not a locked bootloader because it's already been rooted. But it is a new bootloader that apparently really wants to count flashes.

Yes I have read the forums.
It does work on the new bootloader (been tested and done on 2.3.6). For reference see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
However on the AT&T version it has not been tested yet. Only on the Int'l version. I would wait for confirmation to see if and when the AT&T version has been tested.
Another way to do it, once ICS 4.0 comes on this phone, is to use Chainfire's app called TriangleAway (have to be rooted) and you can reset the counter back to 0 as well. Someone did it on their Int'l Note by flashing the ICS 4.0 leak and then using TriangleAway. Then using Odin to put on another ROM.8
So basically the questions are
1) can you flash something which does not trip the counter which can be fully restored to stock that roots your phone?
2) Is there a way to bring the trip counter back to zero?

International bootloader =/= AT&T Bootloader. The different SoC's and build dates along with other factors mean that we can't use the jig method right now. There is no downgrade bootloader for use to use, even. We're stuck.
I am coming from the HTC Evo OG and the HTC Evo LTE and was a flashaholic on the OG Evo and was wondering if the flashing of roms for the S3 is the same or is it a little different? I am a newbie to Samsung so please dont flame me for asking.
Flashing roms through custom recovery is pretty much the same across all devices.
Rooting methods are different though.
what's different is that rooting can trip a internal counter, and modify the About Phone/Status page to note very obviously that the you have Modified the phone (look at the bottom of that page if you haven't rooted it says Normal, and Modified if you have. I understand that this is going to be corrected (worked around) but it hasn't as of yet.

Nope, my phone says modified.
The CWM root via ODIN doesn't have anything to do with the Triangle Away. I don't feel like the first ATT user to use the Un-root file, though the instructions imply that it should work.

Sorry, I have the international version I forgot which Q/A I was in haha. I am pretty sure I read there was a way for our phones to be unrooted then rerooted to remove the *modified* message but I'm not positive it would be similar for the S4 variant.
Is there like a max limit of numbers the flash counter can go upto? I see people talking about this. I'm coming from a motorola Atrix, and we never had such a thing, so I want to make sure before I root.
I want to use the toolkit to do it easily without ODIN and all so I guess my flash counter will go up one. what disadvantages does this have?
Will something like triangle away from the market reset the flash counter from our phones?
Thanks!

No limit. It's basically in indicator to Samsung or the repair facility whether or not you've modified the firmware in any way, and if it's clear you have it's pretty much an automatic void of your warranty if they notice it. Triangle Away does not work on the US variants from all I've read. The only disadvantage is upping your flash counter and running the chance of having a warranty claim denied as a result.

even though all the Samsung Galaxy S3 are using Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS, on top of that, they are all using Samsung altered TouchWiz. The best example I can think of to this is Windows Blind on top of Windows OS.
After that, each needs slightly different software and even hardware due to difference in operation of between each cell company + technologies + what they want and don't want and etc. Basically, they are technically the same phone but they are all slightly different, and this slight difference what makes certain roms and apps work on XXXX carrier but not on YYYY carrier.
also International and Domestic version has a entirely different processor, which is why there is Cyanogenmod and other tweaks and the USA models don't

Hi Guys,
In the past few days ive noticed that if i dont check my phone regularly it will simply refuse to wake up (screen on). I know the phone is still working as the LightFlow settings still use the notification light when needed. I have also had situations where the phone wakes up but theres no touch functions, but locking and waking up again fixes that in 1 try. Has anyone else had this issue or am I going to have to send the phone back?
Thanks
Michael
P.S. The phone is not rooted and hasnt been updated since out the box. Any suggestions to root the phone to fix this will be ignored.
Uninstall LightFlow it has been known to cause this issue.
That is all we can suggest unless your willing to root.

Not trying to take this too far off topic, but what do you have against root? All root effectively is is an admin mode, you don't have to flash a custom rom.

Over here afaik at least within the first period the seller has to actually prove you caused the damage to refuse the claim.
Having a rooted device will not stand as having caused hardware-damage.
So far I've yet to hear about a single case of warranty being refused in this country due to software modifications.
If it was as simple as putting a "Waranty void if removed" sticker on stuff actually having any meaning, that would be the end of democraty. Fortunately the law tells otherwise and manufacturers have to obey it (or buy their own law... at least in the USA that seems to work)
However it most certainly will make repairs far easier if the device is stock since they cannot even try to blame you for incorrect configurations or bad flashes.

If not I'll check on the Jelly Bean (or something popular thats been out for a long time) rom stability and root for that. If nothing helps from those ill use the Triangle program to get rid of the root history and send it back for repairs.

They've removed that button in their bloatware-edition of the Samsung ROM - probably to prevent users from updating over 3G connectivity.
