Resetting flash counter

That day i read in an article that every time we flash something which is not samsung,a binary counter detects it...and may result in void of warranty(many of u already know it) .My question is...what happens to that flash counter after we flash a stock firmware again over a custom one(say cm-9)....is it resetted to zero again???

The flash counter reset. It's a flashable zip in the development section.

That is true But it says it does not list SGH-I727 as one of the phone it will fix.

It'll probably fix it. It worked on my i957 and that isn't list either. There is a thread for triangle away. Check it out and see if any i727's have been tried.

how did you increase your counter? there are no current roms that would do this unless you used k0anes old modded stock tar rom.
we dont have the yellow triangle at boot if you did trip the counter.
there is a yellow triangle when first entering into dl mode(odin mode), but its just a warning about flashing not a trip indicator.
"triangle away" will not work for our phones, dont do it.
theres a link in the 1stop sticky to reset the counter, its easy, just flash it in recovery.
heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575712

I don't understand why threads continue to go on when the answer was given in the first response. Crazy said exactly what to do. So do it.

2. reset binary counter with triangle away and ensure binary counter is zero
3. in superSU select setting -- full unroot

factory reset ,might help
your tab will be left with rom only, all data, aps, files etc are deleted

Already did that as mentioned before in this thread because it was needed for total unroot. It seems like mobile odin has become a system app.

During reinstall rom from mobile odin previously you should only select everrot option and do not inject mobile odin, that's why mobile odin became sysytem aps
Finally it will be easier if you can find computer and flash trough odin pc

[Q] Reset Bin Counter

Hello, has anyone tried to use the USB Jig to reset the bin counter on 4.1.2 ?
My display stopped working after some time and i need to give it for warrant.
What i've read in other threads is that the usb jig won't work on JB.
Do you think that the counter would reset if i would install a custom rom like CM10 or just use the bootloader, use the jig to reset it and then just install the samsung stock 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile?

There is an app called triangle away
It resets your binary counter. But if u boot into custom recovery again the counter will increase again. So use this app right before you flash stock via Odin.

The problem is that my screen is not working and i cant see what i'm doing. Dev mode is not enable so i could do it over the pc.
I'm kinda out of options. I dont know if they will notice the counter if the gpu is broken, cause the screen is in tact.

Well if you have lost your display completely then it's going to be a problem. Im still confused. You lost your Display due to Software issue or Hardware?
If software try flashing firmware. If hardware like lcd is dead.. try connecting via hdmi, wlan, samsung play etc if ONLY our phone supports it.

Its a HW fault. Installed stock etc, nothing helped. the screen turns only sometimes on. Even while booting its off. You think HDMI will show my screen on my pc or tv so i can try to use triangle away?

Anyone able to guide me how to enable adb while in recovery mode so i have access to my screen over the PC. I've found a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238286
but it doesn't help me much out.

Solved
So, i've managed to use the ADB while in recovery and enable it in the settings files when the phone is booted. After that i've managed to install triangle away and reset the bin counter to 0. Dropped the stock and now going for my warranty
Took me some time to do that. Had a lot to read, but it was worth it.

Well done, good to know that adb can help in such cases

According to this, it does http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23951568&postcount=15
But, there are also others who say from experience of sending their device with a different country's official Rom, that it doesn't.
Depends on one's luck?

It should not void it cause its original samsung firmware, but i'd suggest to get back to the stock of your country.

Just to add that i got a brand new phone after a few days. They did not tell what got broken tho.....

Is there any way to reset flash counter to zero without using triangle away app.?

There hasnt been any method other than that which could reset the counter to 0 as far as i know.
Anyway try searching resetting binary counter using usb jig.
