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

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)

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)?

hi all,
i have ki4 on my phone and i already rooted wih zergrush.
so if i want cwm i need cf-root kernel?
if i flash it with odin or mobil odin, will it increase the custom counter or the yellow triangle will appear?
thanks for the answers

The counter only increases and triangle appears when flashing a custom kernel from download mode. Using mobile Odin does not touch download mode.
It might be silly question but here it is.
To get "Reset flash counter", I need cwm so I have root and install cwm.
Then I can apply reset flash counter through cwm.
so number back to "0"
Should I flash stock rom after that?
then does that number go to "1"?
Thanks in advance

Guys... I'm planning to give my mobile to the samsung service to claim the guarantee coz my mobile home button have become very hard to press...
So I backuped the official Rom which came with my handset... Even flashed official Kernel to remove the recovery.. but Root didn't even Removed ... how is that possibl...? Is there any way?
I even worked with Triangle away to remove the flash counter and triangle...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
just reflash the offical rom, from odin and everything will be removed and will be stock
Are you able to perform any actions that require root? Or are those apps just there, without the ability to perform their designated functions (example: restoring a back-up via Titanium Back-up)?

well if you flash orignal firmware via odin the counter will not be increase
counter increase only After root the firmware.
flash Only rom it will remove yellow icon and will not increase Counter
I think the firmware which you are flashing is not full wipe.Follow this:
1)Flash lpq or any other ics firmware and let it reboot and see if the root is still present if not
2)Now flash Indian firmware which was shipped with your phone.

Once used triangle away to reset flash counter then go to recovery and do a factory reset(full wipe), remove battery, go into download mode, flash DDKL1 full firmware of some 300 mb and don't flash anything else(flashing stock firmware don't increase flash counter
Or does only Odin do this?
Can I flash stock with Odin and then flash custom ROMs through CWM and have my flash counter still be at zero?
Thanks in advance
Nope.

Yeah only Odin trips the counter, also flashing stock roms via Odin also will not trip the counter (please correct me if I'm wrong here).
