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.

I needed to run the odin at administrator rights...
Now need to learn how to install custom roms
Thx

Just make sure you don't flash custom roms with odin.

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)

Maybe you can try to flash CWM5 with Mobile ODIN from Chainfire => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
But I think that you should flash a kernel containing CWM recovery, such as CF-Root, SpeedMod, etc.
Good luck !
You need to flash a kernel that comes with it

Are recoveries integrated in the kernels on his device (I am used to HTC's eay)?

The counter only increases and triangle appears when flashing a custom kernel from download mode. Using mobile Odin does not touch download mode.
Hi Guys,
Recently I rooted and flashed with the custom Kernel on my SGS II. But now decided to go back to the official ROM.
So my question is, when I flash it with official ROM (through ODIN). Will the custom Kernel be replaced by the official Kernel that came with the official ROM?
Thank you in advance to the kind soul that replied.
Yes.

Yes, if you needs custom kernel again then you have to flash it separately via Odin again.

If you don't have jig, I suggest to flash to ics first, use triangleaway and then flash back to stock with mobile odin

No official ics releases yet. They were just suggesting a round about way of getting rid of the triangle by flashing a leaked version of ics then using an app to remove the triangle then use something like CWM or mobile Odin to flash back to a GB Rom.
Like I said long winded process.
Just flash an official firmware. Then flash cfroot kernel for that version of firmware. Then if you want to get rid of the triangle use a USB jig available for a few dollars off eBay.

So i updated my S2 to ICS 4.0.3,and it basicly just sucked and it had alot of bugs still.
So i flashed a stock XWKI8 kernel and went back to GB 2.3.5 , will this void my warranty?

Going to stock what came with the phone will not void warrenty.
Rooting with cfroot and getting counter go up will.

So i flashed a insecure kernel and rooted it, the guide i followed said that if i flashed the stock kernel the boot triangle would go away.so i did that and my root disapeared and in download mode it says
custom binary download : yes 1 count oe sonething like that
Have i voided my warranty?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yes warranty void.
You can use triangle away if you used stock ics from checkfus or sammobile.
It will reset counter to zero.
But for that you have to flash stock ics again, triangleaway works on ics only. On ics boot loader.
Don't use intratech's versions he uses old boot loaders..

But i flashed stock gb 2.5 without root or anything, no triangle

Yes, void. There are ways to reset this though. They're plastered all over the forums. Search for them.
flash CF-Root custom kernel, install TriangleAway application, reset counter, flash official firmware kernel back, and you have your warranty back.

He's already back on Gingerbread, this won't work as TriangleAway only works on ICS. He'd have to flash back up to ICS, first, then all that.
You could buy an USB Jig, flash an old bootloader if necessary then plug that thing in and your counter is reset.

Same here happen to me when I flashed the leaked version of ICS last few month.
This is what I did:
Flash XXKI3 GB 2.3.4 (with old bootloader)
Use USB Jig to reset the binary counter (will remove Triangle as well)
Flash DXKL3 GB 2.3.6 (now back on warranty)
Hope this help & good luck...
Hey guys just as the title states 'does flashing touch recovery rise the flash counter?' i would love to know if this is right or not, thanks in advance

Yes, if you use Odin to flash. But you can always use triangle away to reset counter.

what is the impact of that counter?

Use "mobile Odin" to flash tar files or flash a cwm version.this do not increase flash counter
Warranty may be refused is why custom rom markers on the phone .
