Hey there, I was wondering if anyone has run into problems replacing a phone with Rogers/Samsung with their counter set to 1 or more.
I had asked the same question in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399182
but it was buried with some others so it wasn't really addressed.
I have a static crackle issue with my S2 i727R that was here before I rooted but didn't show up again until after I had rooted. My counter's at one and currently it seems there's no way to reset as I have Android 2.3.5 so I'd like to return it but I'm not sure if they will charge me or not.
So if anyone has done something similar and gotten away with it it would be good to know!
Thanks!
I think youll be fine just take it in and reaturn it. Just make sure your on the stock firmware. If not use odin to flash your stock tar. Ive actually reaturned an evo3d that was rooted and runing a custom rom when i handed it to them. With out issue
Cool, thanks man. I just wasn't too sure how anal they'd be. I'll flash back to stock and bring it in then.
Thanks again!

If you flash something with Odin or mobile Odin, the flash counter will increase

Tripping the flash counter is only an issue though if i plan to take my tab back to the store? Or does that have implications with it even if i dont try to return it or exchange? I dont plan on returning my tab soon just currently the only available root method for the sch-i705 is by odin

The app ''TriangleAway'' by chainfire resets the flash counter. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Triangle away works amazingly well. I use it on my phone to get rid of the yellow triangle thats caused by flashing. I will use it on my tab if I ever need to send it back. Chainfire is an awesome developer.

Flashed JB back to ICS but want Root
Been combing thru the developer section for hours. Of course, you have to almost go back to September for ICS related stuff. But, only saw the rom, recovery & root rom for JB. Where is the one for ICS? Even some of the custom tweaked roms for ICS now have dead links. I have root explorer and want to take some of the crap off and add some stuff.
I didn't like JB because of the GUI the notification bar was awkward and not sized right. Didn't like the screenshot softkey being gone either. The youtube buffering and connectivity was a turn off too plus the battery drain. I got 8 hrs on JB and 13 hrs on ICS. I would love to root and or put on a custom rom, any suggestions?
so i'm gonna be getting this tab in a couple weeks, and i have never had a multi version tab before (wifi onlyversion, and different carrier versions).
i found this thread, and i'm glad i did. my first question about this tab, is development related. i want to know how the community is, and how active it is. i quickly looked through the dev section and it seemed pretty positive, but it was just a quick look, so not a very accurate perception.
secondly, my question is on different twiz versions, are all stock images rootable in the same way? or are some versions more difficult to root? and i don't care about flash counters as the device is a glorified secondhand device.
and finally, just wondering how others like this tab, i don't want to start a war, or anything. just wondering about the device, because i'm new to samsung tabs.
besides that, i'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

There isnt a whole lot of development for the 10.1 version. But all of the man stuff is there and awesome. Its very easy to root on all versions of twiz. I personally love the device. I have the 5113 version which has an infrared blaster which is very useful to me. The specs arent spectacular but I havent slowed my tab down even playing high quality games. Im currently on stock jb rooted with twrp as my recovery. I havent overclocked yet either. Dont have the need for it currently

Galaxy tab 2 p3110 3G + WIFI has two problems after rooting.
I recently got a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3100 and rooted it with cwm and everything was ok. Next day, i decided to upgrade os to Jelly Bean but i copied the file to internal sd card instead of the external one, In order to correct this, i removed the ext sd card while the pad was still connected to the laptop and copied the files through the card reader of the laptop, put back the card in the tab before disconnecting. Now I completed the upgrading process, but instead of the jelly bean, i got the ICS. In download mode the laptop recognised the tab and I've flashed with odin two more time.I've rebooted in recovery mode twice without luck.
These are the problems:
PROBLEM 1. back and since then my laptop can't see the tab, I've done kies, reloaded usb drivers etc, no luck.
PROBLEM 2. In-coming calls are blocked but I can call out.
PLease help.

Hello guys im really getting sick of the bloatware on Blaze and want to get rid of it and i also want to root my phone. But im literally terrified to do so cause i heard it could possibly brick and i seriously do not have the money to buy another phone and also this is my first time rooting. My blaze is currently running 4.0.4 ics with Baseband version T769UVMB1. It would be a great help if someone could shed some light on the possibilitiy of bricking or destroying my phone, also it would also be great if someone could give me a root guid that is compatible with my Blaze and its baseband version

Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
Current firmware: 4.0.4 (ICS I believe)-OTA updated accidently
The phone came pre-loaded with 4.0.3...I don't know why
Current baseband: T769UVMB1

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

It seems they want us using the guide for UVLH5 although I followed it precisely (twice) and was unsuccessful.
you can disable bloatware apps with ics
you'd be able to permanently remove them with root
From what I've read on here, the Blaze is pretty hard to brick and if you do, fairly easy to fix. There's a thread on here by beastmode that lays out the exact process in rooting our phone running ICS. I'd never done it before, either, but followed the guide, Googled the info I didn't know, and it went seamlessly.

I believe the Beastmode thread you mentioned is the one I linked, and followed twice, unsuccessfully
It lays out instructions for rooting our ICS Blaze on firmware UVLH5. I (and the op) have firmware UVMB1. They are both ICS 4.0.4, I wouldn't think the process would be any different, and I don't know why it didn't work for me, but it didn't.
In that thread, there are a couple people using that version of ICS that rooted just fine. Odd it didn't work for you. Did you place the zip on your internal or external sd card?

I tried a few more times today, and in combination with a separate root toolkit app, allowing "save root," I've gotten it settled.
So i bought this phone used, i assumed when i bought it that it was a galaxy s blaze 4g, thats the box it came in, now just today after having soft bricked it today i was looking into the warrenty on the phone and i come to find out that the fcc id number is for the wrong phone, so when i tryed to install cwm for the blaze though odin you can imagine what went wrong, i was on stock gingerbread, 2.3.6, now im not sure exactly how to unbrick it here, the threads seem old and google seems to keep taking me to the blaze threads

Pull the battery and verify the model number before you go much further.

Post a screenshot of your about phone screen. If the kernel build has a mid july build date, then it is leak 1 and you can go back to GB using my script in the dev section.
Otherwise you can only run ICS based ROMs (yes you can run any ROM that is ICS based, just not GB based ones).
If you have issues it is easy to use the ICS FXZ, as we did not have that yet when leak one and two were out. Hence the issues and bricks. You MUST know which version of the phone though (ATT, Asian, or HK) To properly use an FXZ, or you have a chance to brick.
Had to break out my optimus v, and I would like to personally thank you for responding so quick. I expected to get really beat up I have been following you all for years and I know how it is horrible to be redundant here. Well my new friend it looks like I am on week 2. I do not know what to do where I should go from here but I will tell you what more stable even stock would be better even if it is a ICS leak. I don't know why they call it a leak if it came over the air does that mean AT&T in Motorola send out experimental software? the fact that I'm posting speaks to the power that this phone is an anomaly. Through the years I have never once had to post. All of my hard questions have been answered by you all in advance.

thank you, does this tell you that I'm on the second leak? I don't know where to look to find out how to install a permanent recovery.. I suppose I'll have to use boostrap.. scary concept....
and FXZ..New one to me. I'll search the threads more for that.. unless you want to throw new some more hints. my girlfriend and I, are so grateful

Think that's official. It's same as I have, and i fxz'd to official 4.0.4.
Going back to gingerbread is worthless. It'd be like going from Windows 7 back to xp.
We don't use bootstrap anymore, and If you have I'd fxz to stock, root it, and then install boot menu manager, or BMM. then can flash the newer stuff.
But be aware the what your on and Numa are the only fully functional and stable ones we have.

And the scary thing is I have rooted been custom ROMs and recoveries on many different phones for friends and coworkers but I have never encountered anything like this Motorola Edison

wow that is incredible. And there is a lot of love in this place. I appreciate that. My next move is to borrow my friends laptop as mine has died and get started hopefully this weekend. I will report the results. Did I say you guys were awesome? Voice love this place and I cannot wait to start my classes, I'm going to study Linux and computer technology at the local community college here. And from there who knows. Anyways thank you to you all and many like you for the inspiration I cannot wait to get my girls phone working 100 percent again.. Now to focus on the other problem I will try to read the thread and then I'll post later the screen seems possessed like it touches on its own I don't know if its a digitizer or a program problem because it seems to come and go at different times of the month. Very bizarre. Anyways thank you any tips are appreciated and I will keep you informed on this little project, and I'm going to start Searching the threads hoping I have the answer to someone else's question :thumbup:
