Don't forget to hit the thank you button for both braway and cdshepard. I'm donating $5 to braway, I'm sure the rest of you can as well, JIG would cost a few bucks on ebay if available, but why not show some love to a fellow XDA member instead.

I used this myself, had counter at 3, flashed the att.zip file through CWM. Went into dl mode and seen that it was back at 0. So yes sir it definately works
It works but its not the right file for our skyrocket. I do have the correct file we need now, I'll post it up in the morning. I would wait until then.
@envy, when I get the zip tested I'll pm you the link and you can put it in the op of this thread. Assuming the thread hasn't been moved by morning

Morning fellas. Here is the link for the flash counter reset zip specifically for our skyrocket. All I did was pull the needed file off of a skyrocket that has never had the flash counter tripped, replaced the file in Braway's zip, and added a little something to the updater script. I flashed it on my phone just to make sure it wasn't a brick waiting to happen. But my flash counter is already at 0.
Need someone from att to flash this and see if it resets the counter.
I dunno if this will work for rogers, only tested on my att skyrocket
http://db.tt/uYhg8So7
Every last bit of credit for this goes to braway, he is the man with the plan guys, all I did was follow his directions. Thanks braway we all need to work the hell out of his thanks button
@envy, after someone test this, clean the op up and make darn sure to give all the credit to Braway. Also let everyone know its only for att right now, not tested on any other network.
If any rogers users out there that are rooted without ever tripping the counter, with adb access, we can prolly pull the correct files for you as well.
Also here is braways paypal donation link. Show him some love.

do this in adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2.img
that will put mmcblk02.img on your sdcard, from there you can exit adb shell and do "adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk02" to pull the file off your sd card or you can just copy and paste it from your sdcard to your computer. just get me the file in what ever way you can. remember it will be named "mmcblk02.img"

ok im on the phone now...but ill be flashing here shortly
This is my first post so bear with me lol. I had previously thought about rooting my Skyrocket and had flashed Cwm recovery. I then decided against it in light of waiting for ICS ota and flashed to stock using k0nane tar file so I could receive OTA's. This did the trick to get rid of Cwm and I was able to update to 2.3.6 without issue when it became available via ota. Yesterday (month + on stock 2.3.6) I used a friends T-Mobile charger and turned my phone off for faster charging. The next thing I know I'm in download mode and even weirder I have a 1 on the flash counter and it says I'm running a custom rom.... why does it say I'm on a custom rom when I flashed stock and why would plugging my phone into a T-Mobile charger into the wall I might add not the computer put me in download mode. It reminds me of a jig, but its the standard USB cable ...
Sent from my soon to be rooted I727
it probably went into download mode because when you plugged in the charger you had the volume buttons pressed also there is a flash counter reset zip for our skyrocket so if you flash it in your recovery the counter should go away

I thought the same thing with the volume buttons and replugged the phone in while on and proceeded to shut down and same thing. Its not a big deal and when I went home I tried my old Atrix charger as well as my current Skyrocket charger and the phone simply went to the battery charging image as it is supposed to. As for resetting the count I saw that earlier today in a post by I believe cdshepard or some variation of that name. That will reset the counter but why does the stock tar show up as a custom rom? No problems to note...just curious. I need cwm and flash the zip from SD correct. (No wipes / formatting necessary?)

yeah all you need is cwm and just flash it no need to wipe and i heard that the stock tar in k0nane's thread was modified in some way when i tried it out it never worked so i just used the one from samfirmware.com
The fact that I took the 2.3.6 OTA without issue and it still said custom rom just made me start thinking. Thanks

Ok,
I'm trying to Unroot my phone and I've looked all around, including outside of XDA and I cannot find a fix. The K0nane method is a no go. Everytime I run it through ODIN it fails, giving me the DL screen of death on my phone. (phone----caution-----computer) I have to reflash the CWM .zip and it works again.
Can someone please PLEASE point me in the direction of a comprehensive unroot method? It would be greatly appreciated.
(yes I've looked, I've searched, I've combed, I cannot find anything that works for my Skyrocket.)
Any idea why Odin method doesn't work? Try the tar from sammy. Try a different version of Odin. Try a different computer or USB slot. Theres no reason it shouldn't work. Maybe reinstall drivers. Have you tried all that? :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Have you Odin'ed the .tar from sammobile.com yet? It will take you back to original 2.3.5 unrooted and 3e recovery. Seems you are comfortable with Odin. Your phone will be unrooted. Make a backup of calls, schedules, messages and etc. With Kies then restore after you flash back to stock. You will have to redownload all of your apps. If you had a nandroid of 2.3.5 you could restore it then use the zergrush exploit to unroot.

Make sure your phone is connected via USB at moment you place the phone into firmware update (download mode) konane tar and Odin should work I hope that this is mistake you are making and that it works out for you mate.
---------- Edit---------
Make sure the phone is hooked up to the computer and then do the same step you would do to place the phone into recovery mode, without the USB cable connected your phone will not go into download mode. Make sure none of the boxes on the top are checked in.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Odds are if it doesn't work for your skyrocket means you are doing it wrong . Odin failing can happen for a variety of reasons. Bad usb cable, not using a Motherboard usb port on PC (if desktop use rear USB ports, don't use any adapters or external USB hubs), not using Download mode. Just to be sure run ODIN as admin. Plenty of references in general and Q&A.

Not too recently. It just happens from time to time. You get people who instead of just shaking their heads and moving on they would rather let you know that your post insults them because they took the time to read a lot of similar posts...really its as easy as saying to one self "another one, really?"

Depends on the root method. If this replaces the rom then yeah you will lose everything, but if you use this method:

I had to do a factory reset on my phone yesterday to troubleshoot another issue, so I can't say 100% but the few changes I made earlier today (wallpaper, lock screen shortcuts, ringtones, installed Pandora) stayed in place. From the script, it just copies files over and then moves them to system partition during next couple boots. It does not wipe data / cache / dalvik like when you load a new ROM.
I don't know about the java tool here but the one Aquila mentioned ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342 ) works perfectly.
You won't lose settings or have to clear anything. Its really useful if you're on the VRALG1 firmwares and don't want to revert to LF2 from flashing a rooted ROM.
I downloaded to my pc, then hooked up my gs3 nothing? What an I suppose to do?
Never mind it worked

Should move this Thread to the development section. And let the Devs tell us if this is good or not, Pros and cons.
just noticed that Adam is a dev.but should move to development so it can be seen more!!
This tool works well without loss to data...of course no one but you is responsible if something goes wrong but from what I see it uses the debug method I have used it and obtained root fine

I'm going to go ahead and say it...
Adam posted this in the development thread where they are working on cracking the bootloader. If he wanted the masses to be using it or if it was ready for the masses to use he would have posted it outside of that thread.
I don't know if it was bc of this thread or not, but this got picked up by droid life and he had to take it down off the R&D thread.
Stuff like this shouldn't be reposted outside of that thread until it is ready and the dev who came up with it says it is ok to do so (or just posts it himself).

It may be safe, it may not be. I would go with there is a reason he hasn't released it to the public and you should use previously established methods for all this stuff.
Good point, wonder why he held back?

Credit is under my post "CyanogenMod is awesome" and they are awesome, they do all the work and all the credits and donations go to them.
As for the download link, their cm download website has limited storage so the older ROMs roll off and they get reposted for PUBLIC access again and again. So credit goes to my good friend Google and to me for googleing the file name "cm-10.1-20130423-NIGHTLY-skyrocket.zip" and clicking the results. This is a community of people trying to lend a hand and help if they can.
This is the primary reason I didn't join XDA since day one ( God know since 2009-10) that I had a htc nexus, and galaxy s then ... now I727 because I've been reading XDA and didn't want to deal with people like you going around telling people to do this or don't do that. But I now realize if I can help, then I will, and I will abide to all the rules and regulations of the site.
But still if you think your point there is really important to taking up these thread space (which is limited as well) I suggest you go ahead and engrave it down in stone, and hang it on your room's wall.

Proper credit was not given as JD kindly put that on his dev host for download not you. Please provide credit for all those involved or I will report this thread and be done with it.

Its always important to give credit where its due.
I'm no altruist, but I DO believe helping and appreciating others will increase the chance that I'm treated the same way.

Without even clicking the link I'll bet you a twelve of your favorite brew Randian philosophy is at the back bone of that idea:

Kant have any philosophy go unopposed though:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantianism
It's your right as a person to choose either of these paths. Just remember the immortal words of the Canadian rock super band Rush. "If you choose not to decide you still have made a choose."
Majik this ones for you. Thanks, as always, for thought outside the norm.
Can I simply flash this over a newer build?

No that is asking for trouble. Theoretically it could work if you wipe your cache only, and then flash but I don't recommend it at all.
If you're worried all your customizations, wallpapers, apps, ... will go away then follow these steps:
Go to CMW recovery
-Start with a full backup at CWM recovery.
-Format data, cahche, system, dalvik cache (Don't reboot)
-install UCMC1 radio
-install the CM10.1
-install the 20130301 gapps
-go to advanced restore (restore only the data portion of your backup). Only Now Reboot your phone.
-Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then turn it off and on. and enjoy.
doing this will only take an extra 15-20 minutes depending on how much data you're backing up and restoring, but doing a dirty flash on top of flash ... who knows what happens next

Yup ... just wipe dalvik & cache first. No need to wipe data.
A usuable CM again
Thank you buddy. I don't know the politics I just use the available information and I appreciate you posting here,
