If it is insurance then no you will have a deductible. Any replacement from insurance will have the charge, warranty on the other hand is free of charge. Only issue there is that if you have rooted or or flashed a Rom they warrant will send out a phone but you WILL get a charge. And yes they can still tell even after u restore to factory and reset the counter it's about 50% chance they will check the binary counter witch I don't think can be reset.

50 percent??? Do you have a single link to someone who said they were denied warranty due to the flash counter? I have never seen this but always happy to be proven wrong with facts.

Multiple sent in...never once denied.
Op...You need to get the warranty number off att's website and call them. This is a known issue (two threads on it)
Not sure if anyone has tried to get a replacement
If the crack is in the casing around the screen there are already multiple threads regarding this problem. It is a phone defect and you should not have to pay to have the issue resolved.

Ok 50% is high as it would mean a rep actually did their job... but it is something they can deny and that is the main point I want to be sure the OP knew. And as for knowing it to happen, it happens more in a warranty store than in the mail as the store has to complete the troubleshooting in person where as by mail they do troubleshooting by phone. That's just my point of view.

I have talked to Samsung and AT&T. Neither say it's a known issue and would not replace mine. They said that Samsung considers it normal cosmetic wear much like a scratch.
Anyone can say its a known issue but if samsung and att say its not then its not. I work for att and know its not a known issue with them. Samsung also says its not a known issue. The only ones who know its a known issue are us in these threads. Im ticked cuz i have 2 cracks. Samsung wont do anything about it. Told me to pull the battery lol. Samsung denies it just because they will lose a load of money to recall them. They really dont like to do any recalls

Ok so I had to use Mobile Odin to flash back to stock everything, but I still have the counter (no triangle).
I had bought a Jig that was recommended on here, but it didn't work tried it on several phones just to make sure.
So will it work even with the port messed up, that way I can get another?
It does charge though, but PC won't recognize it and yes I tried different PCs and cables.
It might, but if you're sending it back to AT&T I wouldn't worry too much as long as you're on stock, and erase your internal SD card.
I did that months ago, with a flash counter of 2, and they never did slap me with a charge because of breaking warranty. Plus man, worse comes to worse, you tell them that a "friend" told you he could fix your phone, and you trusted him, but you never did anything other than use the Android Market. They'll buy that, thinking he must of tripped the counter. That was my exit strategy at least, but nah, never got called up even. Shame really.

Probably is a refurb but I've found the refurbs are better than the new. Normally less issues. The people in the AT&T store are clueless, they have not a clue what they are doing but I feel bad for them since they deal with the dumbest people in the world everyday and that would be the average cell phone user blaming them for losing their contacts and pictures. I laugh. I always go in and tell them specifically I need nothing backed up, I also tell them I factory reset and have everything at home on my computer. They normally get me in and out of there within 5 minutes.
I sent my Galaxy Note into Samsung to get the screen repaired.
When I sent it off, I realized that I forgot to reset the flash counter.
I was scared ****less.
Anyway, they repaired it and it is about to be sent back to me.
I just thought I would let everyone know that there is nothing to worry about.

I think you just got lucky bud and I would not encourage anyone else to do the same thing. Just because they agreed to fix your phone doesn't mean that everyone else will be as fortunate. Samsung and your phone carrier clearly stated that if you do flash a non OEM ROM you will be voiding your warranty.
Also, lets wait till you get your phone back before you consider this a success.

Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it. I feel like if I sent my phone in for some sort of software issue I would be out of luck.
I will update this thread when I actually get the phone back.
it might depend on the repair in question. A screen replacement is just hardware so they may not mind the software being a custom ROM. I sent in a GT 10.1 with AOKP installed to fix a screen issue. I'm sure they noticed the angry rainbow unicorn when they booted it up. They fixed it no problem though annoyingly, they actually WIPED my entire device, sdcard and everything back to stock. On the GT 10.1 boards, no one has had that happen except me.
I have to send my note in for a repair on my SD card slot, which keeps popping out the microsd. My phone has a custom rom and probably 3 on the flash counter. I was hoping they didn't care since it was a hardware issue. On a side note, it sucks that AT&T doesn't give out loaner phones while it's being fixed.

Makes me wonder if they just gave you a different phone? Or you memorized the hardware numbers? I agree with you being a hardware issue, they are probably not going to care about the flash counter. If you sent them a boot looping device that had the flash counter up high, then i would suspect they might say something.
No real worries guys. I had to send my phone in to Sammy for a screen issue a couple days before braway released the counter reset. They repaired it with no issues, wiped the ROM and reset the counter for me lol. This was back in late March.
Edit- in my case, they gave me the same phone because the Bluetooth physical address was the same. They replaced the screen including the front glass, so I didn't get my screen protector back.
Im pretty sure the techs there get paid by the hour and Im also sure that they themselves(techs) flash custom software on their devices. If I worked in that dept, I would spend the extra time resetting your flash counters and reverting you to stock, only to make my day go by quicker... I wouldn't recommend betting the farm on that. IMHO

I sent it off Monday and I already have the tracking number for the return shipping. In any case, I am using my old iPhone 3g until I get my phone back. It's always good to have a spare.
So people wouldn't recommend it, but who here has actually been denied service with an upped counter?
Traditionally, going all the way back to my Nexus One, the phone manufacturers don't care about root/s-off/flash counter if it's a clear hardware issue. If your button stops working or your screen doesn't respond anymore or your phone doesn't charge, they generally fix it.

This is the guide I used. It has all the files you need. http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999/
Depending on the method you used to root, your counter will most likely be non-Zero. Since triangle reset does not yet support the T999, your out of luck. If you bought the phone in a non Tmobile store, they normally don't check the boot loader. So your best bet is to restore stock, then do a factory reset and leave the phone on for the return, so they don't think you have messed with it. I returned mine for an exchange to a Walmart and they didn't check the boot loader. YMMV.

Don't worry about the counter thing... I have returned 2 android phones that were heavily modded and nothing ever happened. I did a warranty exchange with my T- mobile SGS2 about 6 months ago. I just made sure to flash it back to stock and get rid of any evidence that would make someone think I modded. Do you really think that Samsung checks every phone they get back for warranty replacement? Do you have any idea how many phones they get returned? I don't know, but I'm sure it's a butt-load! Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. FYI. This has been my experience. I cannot guarantee the same for others.

I'm not new to these forums, but this is the first time I'm posting anything. I wanted to get rid of the yellow triangle on my phone in case i needed to send it in for any warranty issues. I found the triangle away app and it was compatible with the i777. I was on shostock ics either 3.1.1 or 4.1.1, i don't remember but it worked, i restarted the phone and everything worked just fine. I set it down and went back on it 10 minutes later, and it was frozen. I could get it into download mode but odin wouldn't load anything to the phone. After a few tries, the phone screen went black and wouldn't turn on. also when I plugged it in it started getting hot. I sent it out to someone on ebay that offered jtag service to repair a hard brick galaxy s2. He is sending it back to me unfixed, saying it was unresponsive. I don't know if anyone else has posted this problem, but I seem to be the only idiot who has completely bricked there phone using this. Is there anyone else that has had this problem and have you gotten it fixed? thanks for your replies in advance.

Based on your post, it doesn't sound like anything you did. It definitely wasn't the app that bricked your phone. If the phone was running fine and then just quit, I would warranty it. Just leave out the rooting/custom rom part when telling them what happened. If the phone is completely FUBAR they'll never know it was rooted. And again, I only suggest this because it sounds like this happened through no fault of your own.

I thought we had, but sadly....
Anyway, as much as you may hate AT&T, XDA does not condone fraud; please keep such suggestions to yourselves in the future...
I don't think it was anything that the op has done. When I first upgraded to the GS2 I was trying to go the refurb route. The first refurb I received was totally unresponsive and it got hot when trying to charge. I called the Death Star and had them send another. It too did the same thing. I returned it and went to Sam's Club and bought a new one. Sounds to me like a hardware failure and you need to call and see about a replacement.
I'm going to agree with everyone else that it sounds more like a hardware vs software issue.
If he sends it in for warranty and they can fix it and see custom Roms and.rooting they may send him a bill.

Someone of you are missing the point I think....Regardless of hardware or software. The phones warranty was voided from a custom rom. As moto said if they some how fix it and find shoshock on there. They won't be happy....

Deleted. Rant was over the top
That aside, odds of them finding it was rooted if this is a hard brick are slim to none. First thing they're going to do if it doesn't turn on is try to restore it to a factory state.
And stop with the moral police. This guy didn't brick his phone modding it. It was already rooted/rom'd. This happened while the phone was just sitting around. There's a difference, warranty be damned. It's like a car manufacturer trying to void your warranty for changing your muffler...
CallMeAria said:
Some people are trying to play moral police here like the dude is trying to commit fraud. And maybe he is. But based on his post he did nothing wrong to cause this to happen to his phone, so anyone crying fraud is making that claim based on their own assumption. The title of the thread is misleading. We have plenty of people who return their phones to stock for exchanges/returns because of failures not related to custom roms/rooting. Nothing wrong with that. This sounds like a hardware failure which would have nothing to do with what he says he did. In addition if this is a hard brick then there is no way they will ever know he flashed anything. Even if they can get the phone operating it won't be in the state its in now. It will be wiped in am attempt to restore functionality.
I'm sorry but I'm intelligent enough to know that rooting my phone had absolutely no negative impact on its hardware. And if something stops working you're Damn right ill return it to stock to have it replaced. There's nothing wrong with that.
This isn't some cases of "I tried to flash the wrong firmware and then unplugged my phone while loading bootloaders and now it's borked how can I cheat the system?"

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he say that he couldn't boot it into anything so that he can set it back to stock. If you send it back like that it's still committing fraud whether he meant to do it or wants to do it or not.

I don't see that as committing fraud anymore than someone reverting back to stock over a broken usb port. Had nothing to do with the rom but technically the warranty was voided. It's a pretty Grey area. Like I said in edited post, it's like voiding a car warranty over changing a muffler. It's BS.

way different. OP states that the application bricked his device. When you brick your phone, after doing something to it. Thats your fault. Not at&t's. Nothing like changing a muffler, more like flashing computer or installing a chip.
My USB was bad, and has been for months. Thats a factory defect, or a warranty matter. there are no grey areas in this case.

Re-read that first post. The title is a bit misleading. Op says he used the app and phone was working fine. Came back to it later and it wasn't working anymore. That's not the app. That's not bricking from flashing, sorry. That's something else. Too many people jumping to conclusions here without actually reading with comprehension.
This was originally a post about how i stumbled on a problem Chainfire 3D causes which ends up soft bricking your phone. I got a replacement phone from verizon through my warranty and it came with MDK build on it. Apparently its not a good thing to figure out loopholes in the system and share them so ive changed this post to warn people about installing the drivers from the Chainfire 3D app.
Doing a factory reset doesnt wipe root. The root binaries are in system and a FDR only hits data partitions. People doing this is also why insurance deductibles are going up and caps put on how many claims you can file.

Here goes more people frauding the system, people like you that make insurance claimed raise prices, just deal with what you have. We all want to be flashing yes but is this is what we are ultimately going to be doing for now on on new flagship devices? It's one of the reasons they actually lock bootloaders because if it were unlocked there will be even more cries about bricks and people attempting stuff without researching, we can all argue back and forth about all that but seriously guys? Breaking your phone on purpose, obsurd.

Even if root isnt wiped during a factory reset they wouldnt see that. I would assume that once they try to boot the phone and it doesnt work theyll just use whatever software they use to set it back to stock and get it ready to send out to some other person. Im not saying this is the best idea. I just happened to stumble upon it and once i had an excuse to get a replacement i went for it. Obviously i very well could have used the stock tar file floating around and fixed it but i hate TouchWiz and the stupid features that came with the phone. I honestly doubt this is why insurance deductibles are going up considering i didnt use my insurance to get my phone replaced. it fell under the manufacturers warranty. if i wanted insurance to replace the phone i could have just dropped it "on accident".

Didnt hate it until after i had used it. I had planned on putting a custom rom on the phone as soon as i had gotten it. Ive seen how much faster the GS4 performs when its running a pure android rom. My phone is at least twice as fast now that ive switched from the stock rom to an AOSP based rom. i know it doesnt really mean anything but i also scored almost 2000 points higher on my Antutu benchmark test.

If Verizon would just unlock everything people wouldn't have to accidentally break their phones. I personally bought the phone outright to keep my unlimited data I feel that since I did that I should be able to do what ever I want to MY PHONE! ! ! Plus I pay every month for my insurance and in doing so the insurance company takes the risk that something might happen to my phone to where they have to replace it and if nothing happens to my phone well that make out like bandits because I'm still paying each month for their insurance that I don't use.

Plus I pay every month for my insurance and in doing so the insurance company takes the risk that something might happen to my phone to where they have to replace it and if nothing happens to my phone well that make out like bandits because I'm still paying each month for their insurance that I don't use.

I agree with you there. What i do with my phone is my business exspecially since i payed for the phone outright instead of getting it through an upgrade for free and i also pay for insurance. I didnt figure out how to break my phone then break it. i just figured out one thing on accident and decided not to fix it on my own (which i could have done very easily). The phone also had several issues right out of the box that would never seem to happen when id go into verizon. All the negative feedback to my post has forced me to change it to a warning about chainfire 3D. but that wont stop someone from figuring out they can get their phone replaced this way, but im also not forcing anyone to do this, its your phone do what you want with it.
Wtf is this thread all about? Warranty fraud isn't cool.
Lets not start a debate judging others morality/immorality or ethical/unethical decisions. This is so subjective, we might as well start arguing about whether there is a god or start debating about when the age of viability is for a fetus. Just keep your opinion to yourself, I don't care if you want to screw the system or not, theres not right or wrong in the grey area. Just dont be annoying about it like the people who knock on my door trying to convince me to join their religion, preaching they carry "the message of god". Like I tell them, then sing a prayer about it instead of annoying me, god damnit. This should be locked, the entire thread is a logical fallacy.

Agree, this thread should be locked.
Users who think XDA is a site to perpetuate fraud are mistaken...To ask for help recovering from a bricked device is fine, you all should be fully aware of the chances you take when you came here, using fraudulent recovery maneuvers is not how we do things...be adult about your mistakes, claim accountability on your own and pay up.
And, for those who are offended about this, thanks, but instead of replying, next time just report the thread and a moderator will handle from there. Thanks
