Can anyone tell me if triangle away works with galaxy s4 mj7 rooted? Too scared to take chances so far sunce with my last s4....

I have used it, but it doesn't get rid of the 'Samsung custom' bootscreen with the unlocked padlock picture on it. Well, it does until I reboot again and then it's back. If I reboot yet again, it's gone. If I reboot again, it's back. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. But I haven't had any bad side effects from using it, if that's what you mean...
K just wondering if it would brick my phone...

I've used 3.0 and it made the custom lock go away, and also un-rooted my phone. then I rooted it again and ran triangle away and it seems to stay Samsung now.
I'm being very careful since for sch-I545 it says you need an unlocked boot loader and mj7 has a locked bootloader

I'm not taking any chances right now until it is confirmed 100% working

Anyone find out how to reset the Flash Counter on Sprint S3 yet? The only ways Ive found are for the International version.
No known counter resets on the American variants as of now.

Because if your carrier detects that you have been flashing, it voids the warranty. No worries, devs will build a workaround.

Can I return my phone if that flash counter shows something beside 0?
Wouldnt hold your breath...
Although I'm sure he'll pull through if its possible this was copied from chainfire's twitter:
Chainfire XDA @ChainfireXDA
@virtuatony the US/CAN models use a completely different method. No idea if/when it'll be supported by Triangle Away. Maybe never.
So wouldn't count on it being soon

my sII had a flash counter of 98 with current binaries = custom and i had the yellow warning triangle. and sprint still helped me, they usually dont care as long as your problem isnt from rooting custom ROMs and or overclocking
I randomly received and update on my phone. Didn't manually try to update. It just randomly did it, and it changed to the following.
Anyone else get anything similar?

Man, I hope you weren't unlocked before...
That's the weird part. I'm unlocked, just running stock.
Didn't lose my root or anything.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
curious but how do you know you're still unlocked?
I didn't figure it out until I went to backup and restore, and the bootloader told me to bugger off.

Still shows unlocked at the top corner, when I turn my phone back on

You mean you' have stock 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13 but the bootloader is still unlocked. You may want to have a factory reset default backup files store somewhere from CWM. Lot of people will want those file include me. I have a unlocked bootloader and want stock 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13, but that will permanently lock my bootloader.

Hey guys I have been rooted for a while now but on Sunday I crack flashed a bunch of 4.2 roms and lost connection to 4g. I have replaced my sim card and re flashed the radios but I am now stumped. When I get home I will probably Odin back to stock but if you guys have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
you answered your own question...odin back to stock.
Just wanted to know if there was anything I could try in the mean time.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
go into settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode, then toggle lte/cdma and see if it brings 4g back up. If that don't work you can try a factory reset, still nothing then odin back to stock.
Yeah tried all of that. Looks like I have a date with Odin tonight.

Restored via odin and still no 4g. I'm at a loss. Could I have burned the 4g capabilities?
did you get a new sim from vzw? i know you said that you "replaced" it but was that with a new or used sim? also might want to power device off and make sure the sim is seated properly.
also are you getting 3g, 1x, or any data at all?
I finally got it guys thanks.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
how did u fix it?
After all of that fighting the system, changing the sim, reloading stock the sim holder is sort of wide and the spring forces it just a bit off of the contacts I adjusted it just a bit rebooted and got 4g back. Always check the stupid things that it could be first. Lesson learned for the 10th time. Though I checked it multiple times before resorting to a system restore so who knows what caused it.
Always check outside before working your way in!

Interesting. .. Did you get a replacement? Reminds me of when my girlfriend tried the dna... She would drop it or tap the phone and the sim card would disappear from the phone lol.

I am trying to purchase a verizon note 2 from a guy, but he used it in Guam on IT&E telecom. He had to change the SPC and used it solely on CDMA while there. I'm trying to get it to work back on the VZW 4g network, but can't find a great guide on getting it back....
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to get it to recognize the verizon network again? Putting a SIM in just sits at the activate screen and never activates..
Verizon checked the ESN and it is clean.
Thanks

Did you set it to lte/cdma under mobile networks? Just making sure.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
don't have the phone in hand (didnt want to buy without a guarantee it would work).
I'm supposed to meet up with the guy later and that's what I'm going to check. If it is set to that... what is the next step?
Thanks

I wish I could help you more bit that's the only thing I can think of. Me personally I would just take it to Verizon. If it has a clean esn they should be able to activate it.
By the way when you meet up, it's under settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode.

No worries, thank you, I didn't think to check that the other day... I did take it to a corp verizon store the other day, they checked the ESN, but they no longer do in store tech support, so they couldn't reflash/whatever needed to be done. the guy just kept burning SIM cards trying to get it to activate and it wouldn't...

All you have to do is odin back to stock and it will be on stock verizon with all of the necessary apns and libs.

Ah OK. Have you gone thru this before? Had some say that if it has a different boot loader flashed as well Odin could brick it.

If it has the latest update, VRAMC3, then all you have to do is flash the Root66 or alternate recovery ROM. If that doesn't fix it I would suggest flashing Root66 with the NAND Earase checked.
If its on VRALJB or VRALL4 then you can flash the VRALJB or VRALL4 .tar's in Odin and be done with it.
You need to read Droidstyles guide in the Android Development section, it will explain everything you need to know about going back to stock, its in section 1B I believe.

As long as it is indeed a verizon note 2 flashed to another carrier then odin will get you what you want.

I got a replacement s4 when i broke my old , unlocked one. New one said me7 so i put safestrap on and loaded hyperdrive. Runs fine.
Just noticed that on boot though that i get the google title and the unlocked padlock screen on boot. Does that mean anything? Like maybr it was unlocked as mdk before upgraded and refurbished? Doubt I'd be that lucky, but any way to test w/o risking the phone?
Thanks

The padlock just shows that you have a custom firmware on the phone. It doesn't mean you're unlocked. It's so Samsung knows if you've been messing with to he phone and your warranty is void. You can fix it with an app called Triangle Away.
