Just wondering is it safe to root or is there a root counter that will be triggered (just worried about warrantying phone if something happens to it)? If there is, can it be reset?

It's safe. Rooted mine after i got it activated yesterday. Just go to the Development thread and follow the directions there.

Is the root counter resettable using something like SQLlite Editor? Which file and key?

Software status says modified after rooting.
software status and a counter are not the same thing. Software status detects root while you are rooted. Counter detects that you have rooted after you return the device to stock/unrooted.

So, is there a root counter?
Excellent question. I think that this question is still up for grabs to be answered. Although, if there is not a counter, it is more difficult to disprove a negative. I think someone smarter than I will have to take a look at this.
My understanding is that your modified status gets reset when you flash back to stock.

I can confirm that going from root to unrooted and then back to root that there is no counter. When you enter download mode to restore a phone back to stock unrooted it does say that it is modified before restore but after restore it returns to normal status with no counter ever appearing to say that it was ever rooted.

While the UI is not completely stock, it doesn't blow chunks like TouchWiz. I would be happy with just root on this phone. Bootloader would be nicer, but not having it is not a bad as on a Samsung device.

I just got my wife a LG G2 and there is at least the Loki exploit.
There is a chance, and not the bootloader isn't signed with SHA256 as far as I know.
Insane? It does keep people out. On the other hand it can drive away business.

Can someone explain to me what trip counter means? Where do I see if mine is tripped or not?
It is a counter on your phone that trips if you have installed custom firmware. Sorry to say I can't tell you where to look because I don't care about mine
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Trip Counter (Binary Download Counter)
1. Power off Phone
2. Hold Volume- (Down) and Home Key and Power at same time. Let phone boot. While holding all three keys.
3. Once in download mode press Volume+ (up)
Here you can see the counter.
Coustom Binary Download: No
Or
Coustom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
how ever many counts you have.
To exit hold power button for about 10 seconds. Then press again to power up phone. (Or Pull Battery)
No this will not trip counter.
is there any way to reset the counter?

I rooted using the general root before knowing anything about the flash counter (coming from HTC, dont know the Sammy ways yet). After i found out, I finished with the Root without tripping the flash counter tutorial and it says "1" when i boot into download mode.
Since i have done the tutorial will my counter always stay at "1" or if i flash another rom or mod will it start adding up?
Im just wanting to know if i need to be careful with going flash crazy or not.
thanks.

It'll keep going up unless if it's your carrier's official rom, and to be honest, once you get "1" I don't think it matters if you have "2" or "48190238102931"

I'm no expert, but from all the reading I've done I have concluded that flashing non-Samsung content via Odin is what trips the flash counter, flashing a rom via CWM will not.

not doubting you but wanted to be sure if true for all roms and i guess maybe even carrier models? Some of the sites I read said other wise. Also, you need to raise the counter at least "1" time to get Root Access though, no?
which means we still need a reset app like the international ver. have.
..and what is max I can do ? Or does it matter if I have 500 counts? What is it for? Dees it hurt me in any kind of way?
mine says "custom binary download: yes (1 count)
I installed 2 roms (same rom just updated version)

Negative. I just rooted and installed CWM on my AT&T GS3 and my counter is still at 0. Flashing via Odin is what trips the flash counter, flashing through CWM doesn't. That being said, I'd imagine most if not all devs are going to make their roms flashable zips so we don't have to worry about the counter. I rooted via Odin but didn't trip the counter thanks to the devs who figured out a way to get around it. The thread is stickied in the AT&T dev forum.

there's no max, its just a way of voiding warranty
So we need to brick our phone good enough that they cant read the counter to get warranty replacement???
once the counter is [1] or higher,you already voided your warranty...there's really no max out or loop back to [0]
Hi all.
New to the SGS3 and have a couple of questions.
First and most importantly, I found a topic that talks about rooting the SGS3 but also says that it has a flash counter that as of yet cannot be reset. This means that if you screw things up and send the device back for repair under waranty, it might be voided. Is there a way to gain root and reset or maintain the flash counter at 0?
Second, I was under the impression that the lock screen was see through. I mean, I saw online that when you touched the lock screen it would open a hole under your finger showing what was on the screen underneath. I don't know if you know what I am talking about, but after searching , I can't find a way to set this up.
Help greatly appreciated. Thanks to all in advance!

Hi there and welcome to the GS3 forum!
the flash counter can be reset using Chainfires Triangle away its simple to use and very effective. And I've never seen or heard about a lock-screen which opens a whole where you touch. This may have been a custom Lock-screen but it's not there with the Stock ROM. If you need any helping with rooting or ROMS let me know
Hi and thanks. Yes, I am going to need help. So what do I have to do to get root and keep flash at zero?

Thanks both. I'll take a look into it. On the Desire, there was a way to backup the initial state of the device to return it in case of malfunction. Is there a way to revert back to stock with the SGS3? I am not "stock" per se, I am running on a locked, branded phone and it has branded software installed, so I kind of need to keep the backup of the phone's initial state.

Thanks again! I just looked at the 1st video in that link and it shows how it would look if the counter had been tripped, mine just says: No. Not sure why mine hasn't been increased but I won't complain about it. I had originally been rooted with the 1 click exploit then decided to restore to stock and used the revision2 stock rooted image. After that device status showed as modified. Then I flashed back to stock, system status showed genuine then, and did the Casual root and unlock then Beans 4 flash which is my current state. Maybe because I haven't messed with custom kernels? At least I know that if I flash back to stock the modified status goes away!
Ya mine still is not tripped. Not sure why but glad it is I did buy triangle away just incase and to support chain fire.

You have to be rooted and unlocked bootloader. My counter is still at 0 so I have not had to go through it myself. But I am sure I will at some point.
Sorry droidxcon I believe you use it to reset counter then flash the stock odin I would believe.

TA works but ICS Bootloaders set the counter up again at every boot.
But yeah ...
1) Full stock followed by CF AUTO root and triangle away will reset forever.
2) Flash ICS Bootloader and triangle away will reset forever.
3) Triangle away followed by interrupt boot > Flash stock
If you'r returning for warranty now, 1 or 3 are the best options. If you want no sign of it now, so you can return for warranty later, 2 is the best - but also the most risky

I don't see a problem. The Super SU app that is flashed with CF Auto Root has an unroot option that removes it's own binary. Can't think of any issues.
just seems like an extra step, there are easier options, you gave them yourself.
Yeah. 3 is fewer steps IF you can time boot interruption correctly which can be difficult.
I personally went with 2 which I think is the best option.
Option 1 is possibly the worst option but it is the easiest to do.

Unless I'm very confused, in the various root threads the above discussion is fairly common. The "executive summary" is flashing trips the counter and, to date, there's no way to reset it. The betting is the counter is electrically protected - that is, it's not going to be reset ever.
Can someone conclusively confirm or deny this?

It's not magically or electronically protected, it's a flag tripped in one of the phone partitions when phone "senses" some unofficial code is being flashed.
I believe if somebody can backup that thing before root then restore it after, it'll show zero.
Sorry - electrically as in "fusible link" or something equally unalterable. I hope I'm wrong.

No. That would not be economical for Samsung when they recondition or refurbish devices(rooted previously) returned from customers. It's much easier for them to just re-partition,jtag and flash factory image.
I see what you're saying. I'm not sure that mass refurb companies (not just manufacturers) are going to take the time to do anything that takes any real time (e.g., flashing). The volume of phones involved probably makes it cheaper to just toss phones that don't pass a quick check. Or not.
Anyway, until someone finds out how to manage the knox counter, it's all just supposition.
From what I gather, this root/recovery method trips knox, but then you are able to disable knox via SuperSU. I have 5 GS5's ready to be rooted (delivered yesterday).
A few questions for those who have done it:
1. After tripping and then disabling knox, what is shown as the knox hex code? 0x0 or 0x1? Or nothing at all since it's disabled?
2. What does tripping knox actually do? I understand it's a warranty related item, but what kind of warranty things can TMO reject based on knox? Battery blowing up? I'm sure they can't reject manufacturing defects in the phone itself (dead pixels, etc), correct?
I see the Updated Towel method has a way to get to NF6 without tripping knox, but it's far more complicated and has too many "ifs". I'm more inclined to deal with tripping knox as long as the consequences are severe.
Any feedback is appreciated...

I then installed SuperSU.
KNOX Counter is still at 0x0 :good:
I'll wait on NF6. Towelroot may be able to root NF6 in time.
