there is a sticky post in this android development for how to reset yellow triangle and binary count, u should search before posting a new topic.
u will need a USB JIG to do this, and follow the instruction in post.

What are you talking about? the tutorial I wrote is exclusively for SGR. In S2 is all about plugging USB jig (or sometimes re-flashing bootloader). USB jig works different way on SGR which is explained in guide.

USB JIG is same for the SGS II and SGR, resetting method is different for SGR.
Well I don't know what kind of jig is that...but usb jig works with the most of samsung android devices (even if sgr is not mentioned there). I've been using the same jig with my SGS2 and SGR. The way it works differs depended on device but it works in both cases.

usb jig is nothing special but it is a resistor of 301 kohm, all usb jigs are same they dnt have any difference.
I have done the reset with a USB jig of s 2 without any issue. It's simple.
Switch off your mobile.plug the jig to your mobile. And restart. It will go to download mode automatically. Then unplug the jig and straight away connect the phone to your PC and flash the stock ROM. Done.

The problem is that since latest v2.3.6, the bootloader has locked access to the mmcblk0bootX partition. So that you can no longer reset the counter as you want. However I have another choice for him ....... just follow the guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528256 and makes sure you have done backing up /efs, otherwise you repaired phone is bricked
btw please try to flash 2.3.4 stock rom before if you really want to use the jig mode just to reset counter.
It depends what kind of Odin protocol (DM version) he has. If it's v. 2.0 then USB jig works like a charm (He can even flash XWLA4 - latest 2.3.6 I guess). I had flashed XWLA4, but my DM protocol hasn't changed -It remained as it originally was (2.0). Thus I hadn't any single issues with using USB jig whatsoever.
But I know there are users with Odin Protocol v. 2.1 and there USB jig is useless. And they must use the method you mentioned. Although there must be some easier way to bypass it. In SGS2 all you have to do is just flash the old bootloader and voila. In case of SGR u must go through all these scary steps.

Yep my device is having odin protocol v2.1 as well and I cannot reset the counter as well (well I am prepared to use nvflash instead if anything occurs, and actually I should ask for the donation for getting a new phone just for development as well. Tbh, it is too dangerous to use a daily usage phone just for developement). It was brought in last month only. So you should make a note on the guide saying that if the odin protocol is v2.1, the USB jig reset method doesn't work @ all.
I can confirm that USB jig download mode does not work with odin protocol v2.1.
oh btw my binary counter has gone to 50 times now

Hello everyone! Today I accidentally flashed a stock ROM (with stock bootloader) of Samsung i9020T on my Samsung i9023 and the result is that no longer turn on! Do you think I can solve with an USB Jig? If there were no other chances, can I send it to Samsung assistance?

Ok, but I'm not sure that I can solve with the JIG!
Yes, I'm on Androidiani.com, but my tool can't solve an hard brick because are needed the JIG Usb and (if it works) ODIN Downloader, to reflash the bootloader.
If I can resurrect my phone I could write a tutorial to help the users with a problem like the mine..
Anyway I haven't yet figured out if, with the jig is 100% sure that I solve this problem. Have you never used it?

I really don't know the warranty policy, but consider the warranty as the last thing. Try that jig, then you'll see what to do. The pc cannot see the phone plugged to usb neither with the PdaNet?

This Root Remover has been tested with the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1, Model GT-P5113.
REQUIREMENT: You must have root using the procedure at [How To] ROOT Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 [GT-P5113 / 5100 / 5110]
• After you download this file, move it the root of your external SD card( /mnt/extSdCard ). This is the micro sdcard you insert in tablet slot. Your /mnt/sdcard folder is internal memory (not recognized in CWM recovery).
• Reboot into CWM (recovery) using Quick Boot app or
• Power OFF your tablet, disconnect from computer and restart in recovery (CWM) by pushing and holding POWER & Volume DOWN/LEFT buttons at same time. When Samsung Tab 2 10.1 logo appears, you can release power button but continue holding volume button for a few more seconds. Note: If you've done this on other Samsung devices, you will notice that it takes longer before blue CWM v5.5.0.4 text appears ... just be patient.
• Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around andPOWER button to select an option.
Select install zip from sdcard. Choose Root_Remover file you already copied to root of sdcard.
When unrooting is finished, choose reboot system now from CWM menu.
By downloading this file you understand and agree that you bear all responsibility for the use and anything it may do to your tablet.
DOWNLOAD
Root_Remover.zip
Unrooting does NOT reset the download counter (developers are still working on that).
As soon as I or another developer figure out how to reset the counter on this device,
I will post information HERE.
Keep in mind that at least three Tab2 10.1 variations exist around the world.
BE PATIENT. As with prior Androids, a solution will come.
Enjoy,
Glenn

I still haven't taken the dive in rooting this tablet yet (its my mom's and I want to make sure that if/when something breaks we can return it under warranty). This gets me 1 step closer though. Once we can figure out the download counter then I'm 100% in!
Yes, it would be great if the counter could be resetted. On the Samsung Galaxy S2 there is only a little USB stick, which have to be putted into the power slot on the phone. Then the phone boots and the counter will be resetted... Why there is no such a trick on the Tab?

Yes, would be nice if it were that easy. I have the USB jig for my SGS2 smartphone. If I can get an adapter from the SGS2 microUSB male plug to the Tab2 connnector plug, I intend to try it on my tablet.
If ANYBODY knows where i can purchase an adapter with a female microUSB port that converts it to standard USB 2.0, PLEASE post or PM me so i can try my SGS2 reset jig with my GT-P5113 to see if it will reset the download counter to zero. Thanks!
For the record, I tried using Cheatman's Triangle Away app Versions 1.1, 1.25 and 1.51 but with no success.

Well I did some searching and the closest thing I can find is a Micro to Mini adapter on Ebay Here or Here. You'd then have to get a Mini to USB adapater... It would be a pain but it just doesn't look like they make a mini that converts to a full-fledged USB.

Thanks. I found the same. If I can verify the pin designations for the tab2 10.1 as being similar to my SGS2 phone, I will try jumping the USB2.0 end of my tab2 cable with a resisitor to see if that works.
Plan B: If I can find a stock bootloader.bin file for GT-P5113 tablet, I can try resetting the download counter using ODIN to flash that file. I already tried installing the GT-P5110 bootloader via ODIN, and it would not connect or flash. As life has taught me many times "Quitters never win & winners never quit" so I am determined to find a solution!

Important of counter reset

Unless counter says zero you may not be able to get any service if/when needed
because Samsung can refuse to honor the factory warranty. It's that simple. However, this tablet is my 4th Android tablet and I've never needed any service on ANY of them. All my former tablets have been sold or given away as gifts and ALL still work perfectly.

Good question. I normally find files like this using Root Explorer which is a Catch 22 or getting it from Samsung but they have not released GT-P5113 Stock files. Maybe someone reading this (who is smarter than me) will know of a way we can get it!

Okay... Cuz I haven't rooted mine yet, but I may considering pulling the stock bootloader... Though I really don't want to mess with the bootloader...
Since it was from Best Buy is there really any worry about the Odin counter just in case something DOES happen with my tablet after root? I've heard some people say Best Buy doesn't check Odin...
My Samsung phone used the recovery root method so the counter still says "NO"...

Based on my experiences and feedback from friends, odds are 70/30 in your favor with Best Buy. I know it's just a matter of time before I get my hands on the stock bootloader.bin file or we get a version of TriangleAway for this tablet.
What's interesting to me is that only about 1 in 10 people who root their tablets seem to even care about being able to unroot it and i've yet to meet anyone who has needed service of any kind on a Tab2.

OK you said in your OP that you can get into DL mode. Follow the second post of that guide for getting Heimdall One-Click up and running. Then flash heimdall per the directions of the guide. You'll want to flash WITH bootloaders. Just relax and read through it. It will fix your problems.
Before you do anything, uninstall Kies Mini and use usbdeview to uninstall android and samsung drivers. Then proceed with Lumins guide. If you DO NOT UNINSTALL DRIVERS I can assure you there is no way to get out of hard brick unless you have a jig.
Tip: Uninstall drivers that has the name Samsung or Android.

Actually not true. If you use a different USB port then the one the Kies drivers are linked to Heimdall Drivers will install just fine. I've got Odin, Heimdall, and ADB running for two different phones on my laptop. And this guy is soft bricked not hard bricked.

That's what I'm thinking. Or when he flashed with Odin he flashed vibrant firmware to it? Have you ever seen that error before?
Cant say that I have. It could be I havent ever flashed a rom not for this phone.
AdamOutler says one clicks have a safety that keeps you from flashing the wrong software. That might be what is happening. Maybe the op needs to use heimdall-frontend to flash a tar.gz. /shrug.
nemeancestus are you comfortable using regular heimdall? You can flash the files used in the one click with heimdall-frontend. I will link the tar.gz, download it. In heimdall-frontend the first tab will give you the ability to load a package. Browse to the folder you downloaded it in. It will decompress the tar.gz once that is done in the package files pane it will list the files. Once it does that select load it will take you to the flash tab and load the files for you. Now put your phone in download mode and it should show as connected in heimdall. Dont change any of the options set. Just hit flash. After that it should reboot and you will be on stock plus blastoff kernel. You will need to flash a different rom tho wifi does not work and it doesnt have busy box or su preinstalled. Just reboot to recovery and flash a new rom.
The link might not be active yet give it some time I just put it on drop box.

so guys do u have any idea how i can get my phone back or is it bricked for ever.
please share ur views.
Can you link the ROM you flashed?
If you take out the battery then put it back in, then turn it on (or attempt to), does it do anything at all? Vibrate, flash something, anything?
If you plug it in to your computer, does it recognize anything as plugged in, even just a driver?

Oh, I didn't actually watch the video, I assumed "unbrick" had something to do with maybe not being able to access Download Mode.
Something crazy, are you sure your battery is in correctly, and are any of the pins that connect to the battery from the phone bent?

Sounds hard bricked to me, let me see if someone with more knowledge on that phone has better insight.
It does sound like its hard bricked.
If usb jig didn't work for you, then only Samsung can fix it for you.
As for warranty, depending on what reason you give them for the "sudden death" of your phone, you might be able to claim it.
Your phone's hard bricked. Get it repaired in the service center!

You should probably call Samsung for a possible warranty claim at this point.

They might honor the warranty without having to "have" anything, just ask them. I have no idea how much they'll charge.
Motherboard replacement - anywhere around 2500INR
Approx 50USD.
There's one last thing to try.
JTAG. If you don't know how to do it, ask these guys if they can help you with your phone. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
They're very good and trustworthy, and their service is great.
It may not start in Download mode, but I'm quite sure a JTAG is still in point. If it doesn't boot into Download mode, it means bl.bin got messed up, which is something unusual since only Samsung code/flashable through ODIN can change that file.

You will have to send it to them and it will cost money. It's not something you can get a guide to do - they need to hook up hardware to the phone and that hardware is more expensive than paying them to do it, and not a "do it yourself" kind of thing.
You could search for JTAG repair in your country. Shipping might not be too bad in a small pre-paid USPS PMI box if you have access to that - I sent a small box to Russia for $13 USD

I have hard bricked my phone using a wrong recovery firmware and it won't boot
Is there a method to full erase the nand and full write the nand with the firmware like the method used in the Samsung factory ?
Thanks !

Hi
Do not select nand erase under Odin...unless you are 100% sure on what you are doing
Can you get in Download mode? if so flash a stock firmware again , use CSC file ( not home_csc) , this file contains the PIT ( partition information tables) . It will leave the phone like out of the box
I can't go in download mode and i can't go in recovery mode !

You've been shown it works, if you read a few posts up ^^^
Buy one or make one, costs about £2 in parts or for the actual Jig
Did you backup your phone and EFS folder? Even if you get a USB Jig without a backup of EFS folder you may not be able to connect to Network. Hopefully you did

My old S3 jig does not work on my Exynos-based S7. Maybe it only works on Qualcomm-based S7s? The jig does work on the 3 different Qualcomm-based Samsung Tabs I have (Tab 4 7.0, Tab A 8.0 and 10.1).

Just manage to wake it up after nearly 7 hours of trying - flashed the BL, AP and the CP together and only after i flashed the CSC. I found a very short brand new cable AND changed the port.... feu (sigh of relief .. )

It seems to be a software problem not an Hardware one.
