Reset Flash Counter

Charlieb620 decided to be a douche and remove his post telling us how to reset the flash counter for the Blaze for petty reasons, so I pulled a cached version off Google for all who still need it. Here you go:
*I Take No Credit For This*
This is for people who flash constantly through Odin or even CWM. By flashing a lot the ticker on your DOWNLOAD/FASTBOOT SCREEN ticks up. To reset it for repair or warranty purposes just boot into CWM and flash this file.
Your Good To Go.

Are you using the stock recovery, or CWM/TWRP? If one of the latter, do you have zip verification (I think that's the term anyway) enabled? Could just be an unsigned zip.

Thanks everyone, it works great.

I was able to reset the counter, but how do you keep it at "NO" when returning to a stock ROM? After I flashed the stock, the counter is now at 2.

Just reflash the count resetter after you go back to stock

Thanks, but the problem I'm seeing is that CWM is overwritten when I flash the stock ROM. And without CWM, I can't reset the flash count.

download the link in op to root of sd or phone then boot into recovery and flash the count resetter zip. it'll 0 out the counter.
hope that helped..

Does anyone have the ZIP file to reset the flash counter on the SGH-T769? I'm late to the party and all the links in the original thread are long gone. Or at least the name of the ZIP file so I can try to google for it?
The closest thing I've found so far was a "sgh-t989-flash_counter_reset.zip" (different phone), but I'm not sure if I can use it to flash the SGH-T769.
I know it's probably pointless to reset the flash counter for a phone this old, but it just want to keep it neat and clean (plus it bothers me).
Thanks!

the next thing you want to do is download the EZ recovery app from the market and load a custom recovery. CWR or TWRP is our current options.

Hey, When I hold the buttons up volume + home then search in download but it say there no files found I did install CWM in this phone.. So what I do??

There's also a guide on how to reset your phone to factory stock around here on this site, if you need it.

To clarify were you able to install clockworkmod? And to get into download mode hold power button + volume down + home button simultaneously. Make sure your phone is connected to your computer and in download mode then start Odin.

No need to install ROM Manager just boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (Since you said you had installed Clockworkmod successfully on your phone using Odin) a and then flash the zip once it's on your Sd card.

After you download this file http://download.chainfire.eu/315/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip?retrieve_file=1 it will be called UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip which you then place on the sd card of your phone and flash in Clockworkmod Recovery the file named UPDATE SuperSU-v1.25.zip.

the first thing i do is flash the proper bootchain from the thread, this flashes fine. no issues, no hiccups.
next thing i do is flash the recovery from the same thread, which is where i run into problems.
on the desktop i get this.
on the phone i get this.
when i reboot the phone and go back into download mode everything is back to normal like nothing bad ever happened.
comepletely confused and fed up with this thing, i've rooted literally dozens of phones and even the historically difficult G2 and Sensation were not this much of a PITA.
any advice on what's causing my issues would be a huge help.

Did you extract the recovery???

I had a problem with the TWRP recovery on the site like this and switched to the CWM recovery and it flashed. remember to check MD5s.
ps.. remember to close odin after you flash the first bootchain. and reopen it to flash the recovery.

By the way the filename looks, it looks like he did not extract the file.

I just flashed the no wipe version of blk3 or later firmware and go from there. I do this since the no wipe firmware already comes with a modified boot chain.

I've personally used this successfully. Just download and use in ODIN.
Once rooted, you can easily change/update recovery using the EzRecovey.apk

Best of luck, friend.

try it like this.
make sure you checked usb debugging enabled
open odin.
boot phone into download(odin) mode
plug in phone
flash bootchain as a pda
once rebooted unplug phone.
Close odin.
restart odin
uncheck auto reboot
boot phone into odin mode.
connect phone.
flash recovery.
pull battery and go from there.

flashed the no wipe BLK3 then started with the steps from the guide in the first post and got stuck in the exact same place.
is there any other option?

When you flashed the vralec bootchain you kept "auto reboot" checked correct? Then waited after the phone rebooted and odin said success before disconnecting? Did you run odin as administrator on your pc? Are you using the oem usb cable? I've recently flashed com 6.0.2.3 and twrp 2.4.4.0, so I know they've both at least worked. I once made the mistake of disconnecting my phone from odin when the status light was blue and the scroll log said finished, but now I always wait for the green success status light, idk if that might have happened to you.

Aight, and how about trying Odin 1.85? I remembered someone from awhile back saying they used this and it helped them in their case. Here's one such thread mentioning Odin 1.85. There are a few more.
Edit: Wait, I reread your OP. All you're trying to do is flash CWM correct? And it does the same thing when you Odin flash TWRP? How about if you download and flash either recovery via Odin from Invisiblek on Rootz?
Alternatively, could you Odin flash the rooted VRBLK3 or VRBMB1 by mrRobinson? If so, how about downloading GooManager then installing TWRP by pressing Menu/Install OpenRecoveryScript. Since these are pre-rooted, you could install TWRP this way.

This is so strange. You probably already tried but you may have a bad download.
I agree with snoop, as long as you have a rooted Rom you can use goo manager to install TWRP through that app. Alternatively, you can try flashing a recovery through ez recovery. Andybones keeps a thread maintained in the themes and apps section for all recent recovery images. All you have to do is load it in the directory and hit flash.
If that still doesn't work, I'm speculating that you might have a problem with your recovery partition. I'd guess that a PIT file may fix it, however I wouldn't necessarily try that without further input from someone with more experience. A PIT file would repartition your phone and possibly fix the error you're getting in ODIN. This could happen if ODIN is attempting to place the file in your recovery partition, but is unable to properly locate the space for it. This may explain why everything you're trying is failing.

Need help after losing root on CM10.2

Could someone please advise on how to keep me from doing any further real damage to my phone?
Here's my story...
Tried to flash Mastamoon's 8/9 build of CM10.2 on my VZW Galaxy S3 from CleanRom7. Used Cwm recovery. It flashed fine but I realized as I was setting up the phone that I lost root. In a panic, I booted into recovery and tried to restore 2 of my CleanRom nandroids but I got an md5 mismatch on both. So then I was able to restore my original 4.0.4 nandroid I made directly after rooting my phone last year. But still no root.

My phone is functioning right now but I would greatly appreciate any help trying to reroot and get back to where I was. Can I try to flash 4.3 again and then follow the steps in mastamoon's op to achieve root again? Thanks in advance

Look in the CM10.2 thread for a superuser.zip file that you can flash in recovery. Once you boot up CM10.2 you need to go into the Developer Options and change Root Access to apps and ADB.

So is it safe to boot into recovery from where I am now and flash 10.2 again. Then download and flash the superuser zip file? Just not sure what order to do things. Also I know i have to go into developer settings and change root access to apps and adb there. I'm a bit of a noob and just wanna do things in the right order. Thanks for taking the time to help out.

With the phone off hold down home, volume up and power until you see the Samsung logo flash, it should then boot into recovery. You could change your recovery to TWRP through the Goo Manager app if you wanted. Do you have Recovery showing in your Power menu when you go to turn the phone off?

There's no option in the power menu to boot into recovery. I was hesitant to manually boot into recovery figuring I'd end up in the stock recovery not cwm.

You'll be fine, you really can't mess it up, you no longer have a stock recovery since you have CWM installed.

Yes, stock rom. I am on the first nandroid I made right after rooting before I started flashing custom roms. I should read up about odin-ing back to stock. But I think I'll take the ota and reroot. Would the firmware I flashed a couple of weeks ago cause any problem with an ota update? Guys, thanks for your time and advice.

Before I lost root, I was using cwm as my custom recovery. When I was finally able to restore this stock rom nandroid, I downloaded rom manager again and it shows cwm 6.0.3.1 as my current recovery. But I can't boot into it as I described earlier. I also tried to flash cwm again thru rom mgr but it gave me an error notice.

Yes, stock rom. I am on the first nandroid I made right after rooting before I started flashing custom roms. I should read up about odin-ing back to stock. But I think I'll take the ota and reroot. Would the firmware I flashed a couple of weeks ago cause any problem with an ota update? Guys, thanks for your time and advice.

No it wouldn't, if you take the ota it'll rewrite your rom, firmware, kernel, and recovery and put everything on the same base. Then once you reroot everything will be on the vrbmf1 base and you should be good to go.
The reason nothing is able to flash recoveries is because you lost root permission. The only way for you to get it back is to reroot since you're unable to use SuperSU.

Well, the ota failed to update. Tried a few times. So i'm gonna start reading about odin-ing back to stock. Hope i can count on advice from you guys as I move ahead. Thanks again.

Please help me ASAP

Hi i tried rooting my phone and it failed and now it just stays on the logo saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I've tried using odin to bring it back to stock form but it just fails. I only got the phone on saturday and if my mum finds out she'll kill me. Please help me ASAP.

I have same problem b4 bro but when i flashed stock rom downloaded from sammobile then flash it via odin then it works again.

Do you know a way to fix this, and thanks for replying

So you want to reflash your phone to make it stock again?
If that's the case you can download the newest stock files from sammobile (WARNING SLOW ASS DOWNLOAD)
Once you've downloaded the latest firmware you can flash it to your phone with odin, it will make your phone stock again
Once you have done that, go into the recovery and factory reset. (By holding the powerbutton+home+volume up whist the phone is turned off)
This will however wipe your data. I advice you to make a backup beforehand.
Then just setup the phone like a new phone, or restore it from a backup on samsung's cloud (if you have a backup there).
Hope this helped.

Doesn't the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" appear at the top left of the boot screen regardless of the rom? I thought it was because of the non-stock recovery.

Yes.now he want to back to stock rom

When you flash a custom recovery, you need to boot to recovery on your first reboot, otherwise your phone will override it. Flash your custom recovery again, and when you restart your phone, hold volume up, power and home button.

my model is G920F

recovery is not seandroid enforcing <- this text means you have custom recovery.
But as the guy said s6 replaces the custom recovery as soon as you reboot it after flashing custom recovery,so you need to boot back in recovery mode(hold the vol up,power,home button as soon as it reboots).
and just go to any website (sam mobile and download the suitable stock rom for your mobile,country p.s slow download)
have you disabled knox before trying to root it or before flashing stock rom with odin?
try to put it in download mode then flash that stock rom
and as you said its in boot loop,you can fix it,its not bricked

I recommend anyone to follow these instructions from @sendhiloo7 if you need to download stock firmware. It is WAY faster than other methods. ?
