[Q] how to get the flash counter to 0 + stock kernel - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

im kind of confused how I can get the flash counter back to 0 without tripping off the flash counter.
triangle away allows me to do this, but it requires ICS + a kernal flash (ive done searched, and the only way i could find to get the phone rooted with ICS = kernal flash). once i do the reset, i have to ODIN it back to stock, which will set off the counter again. any ideas?

Why do people insist on spoonfeeding the noobs? If they post a obvious question.. Simply do not answer them. That will either force them to search or force them to leave... either way WE win...

Latest Kernel and root process

Sup People...This question may seem a bit redundant to some of you here....of course u can tell I am noob, but i'm tryn to soak it all up....But anyway....What is the latest kernel and root process for SGH-i777... I have tried and older Odin that came with a kernel...but when i reboot the phone it say i900...SMH....anyway i think i have the process down...just wanted to know about newer ways or soft to root...oh yea...and wat is the use of clockworld and how to use it...Thanks in advance for the help.

Do you still have the wrong ROM (I9000) on phone right now? If so, then go back to the stock gingerbread 2.3.4 OS so you can use the zergrush exploit to root and then install mobil odin to flash a kernel (found in the general section for our phone). Or find an Odin 1-click file (Windows) with a rooted Stock GB or ICS ROM and flash that with the phone in download mode (found in the android development section for our phone). Not sure if there is a rooting method for the stock ICS you get through the Kies update. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me. Clockwork Mod is used to flash custom ROM's and kernels in a custom ROM environment. Also make sure when you download somthing it comes from the SGH-I777 android development forum and not the I9000 forum.

Then the only option I have found is using Odin with the phone in download mode to install a pre-rooted version of the stock ICS for our phone (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181 )

Best way as of now is to just flash using Odin. Lots of walkthroughs and troubleshooting are available. And don't use ROM manager with the AT&T SGS2.

[Q] What should I do when taking phone back?

I'm having a problem with the vibration on my Samsung Galaxy S 2 (i-777). After some research, I decided that I should take it back to the store. I'm running a custom rom and have it rooted. I know I need to reset the flash counter and restore it to the stock from. Is there anything else I'm forgetting?

Yes that is partly true, I work in the computer forensic part of the computer world without completly destroying the device ordoing what is called a low level format ( zero out) your hdd or the memory one will still be able to recover data on a device given the proper tools and skills. However thecost of doing this outways the outcome inthe privite sector of data recovery thegoing pay rate for a computer forensic person is on average 400 to 500 dollars an hour and no that is not a typo.Now with regards to android devices its not worth it to the company unless for legal action to do this. All they worry about is rooting and custom roms breaking the warrenty

[Q] CRT Animation = No Boot

Hey everyone,
Been a while since I've touched base... so I thought I would screw up my phone just as an excuse to say 'Hi!"
Anyways, been running a CM9 nightly for many months, finally got bored with it today so I found the SuperNexus rom and installed that without a hitch.
But then I got greedy.
After meticulously setting up the phone and apps again, I decided I wanted to get my CRT screen on/off animation back and thought, "Well, hey... this should be easy," so I booted into recovery and installed the zip. Hit reboot and.... nothing. The Samsung GS2 logo appears, and then it's just a black screen.
In retrospect, I imagine it has to do with some kind of incompatibility between the CRT animation I used for CM9/ICS and this new JB rom... hindsight 20/20.
If you guys could give any pointers I'd appreciate it. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't seem to boot into recovery. Any way I can uninstall that CRT zip, or am I stuck?
Thank you... and hi!

I swear I tried that several times and it didn't work, but now that I tried it again I was able to boot into recovery.
Would simply re-installing the SuperNexus zip overwrite this issue, or do I need to start from scratch with another factory wipe/clear data?
Thank you, again.

Wouldn't matter they'd still say they couldn't boot into recovery. Then we'd have to point out that they aren't holding it for long enough. Then they'd say they are. Then we'd say hold it until u actually get INTO recovery mode. Then they'd respond saying oops, derp, you were right. Viscious cycle.

You haven't even rooted yet I'm guessing. Go ahead and read the stickies.
Assuming you do have a 777 and not another variant of the sgs2, then the "rumors" about rom manager not working are not rumors. It is confirmed all over this forum, all you have to do is read. Don't use it. Read the stickies before you mess up your phone.
So are u saying u have rom manager installed or not? Have u rooted and installed a kernel with cwm in it yet? Do u wear ladies undergarments? Were u the second gunman on the grassy knoll? Tell me!

How to remove the triangle and reset the counter on cm nightly?

If the jig doesn't work, it means you have the newer bootloaders where they patched the jig fix. I purposely downgraded bootloaders because of this.
