Is it possible to reset ODIN Custom counter? Just in case...

Hi all,
I have searched for any info on this and it seems like the "[root] Triangle Away" app may be able to reset the counter but I couldn't find anyone that tried it with the Galaxy Tab 7.7?
As our tab is very much like a Galaxy S2, I am thinking it may work but cannot be certain.
It is not like I really care right now but I still have 11 months of warranty and was curious if this could be done.
Many thanks.

Im not sure the 7.7 has a flash counter in it at all.
My S3 did and could be reset by triangle away..
The best way to do it on devices that have a flash counter is..
use odin to flash older version of Rom.eg ICS or lower JB version but for our 7.7 its ICS..
Need to root to use triangle away and first remove any custom recovery,make sure its stock recovery.
use triangle away and after reset counter dont restart tab or phone go straight to download mode..
look at download mode and check flash counter and its samsung stock firmware.
sometime it requires a few times to acheive this and after a few restarts it will stop showing stock again..
even though its been reset.another tip is to remove sim card and any SD cards whilst doing this as some reason
SD cards can somehow trigger flash counter?
Once its looking correct in download mode restart device and do a OTA update to latest firmware..
This will reset you to a new locked boot loader and you will definatley have stock rom and 0 flash counter..
to keep it this way dont root or use custom recoverys...
mainly its for newer things like the S3 im sure the 7.7 doesnt have a "locked Bootloader" but i may be wrong..
also if it doesnt have a locked boot loader its easier to do than what i typed..
you cant update OTA with root or custom recovery or non stock rom..
hope this helps its what i found with reguards to my s3 and getting it back to stock for warrenty..

There is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 flash counter introduced for P6800 JB 4.1.2 DXMD3, so any modified ROM, kernel or recovery flashed via PC Odin will increase the counter.
I just reset mine from 58 > 0
How ??
1. Have installed my P6810 / P6800 SkyHigh kernel for JB 4.1.2 (patched for triangle away compatibility)
2. Install triangle away app v3.26
3. Reset counter
4. Reboot as requested
5. To check > open app again, or, power off and enter download mode
Your custom ROM, kernel, recovery & root remain intact

Galaxy S4 i9500 rom written to i9505 device!!!NEED HELP.

Hi guys.I am new to forum so i didn't know where to open this thread.Also i have checked internet for a solution but never seen a dumb thing like this before in my life.So even google search engine couldn't help me about that.
One of my friend has purchased a device from dubai.it is an original device of i9505 with snapdragon 600 processor.I am personally using an i9500 octa version btw.my friend told me to check his device after he had problems with gsm service+wifi for 3g doesn't connect(or connect and drops fast) so i went to check his device.i have used some system info tools and benchmark softwares to identify the device is ok.but NO IT WAS NOT OK.all of the system info tools says that the device is i9500 but it has snapdragon processor.some idiot somehow managed to write i9500 rom to i9505 and it is working with problems.i have checked camera both ok frontal and rear.and other device properties working good as well.i should expect that it should even fail to boot but somehow working with great deal of no phone service+3g problem(phone service sometimes work i really don't know how it works or how it fails).
So i decided to make things right.Which is put the right original galaxy s4 i9505 rom to that device.i have checked sammobile and found germany version of kitkat.
general info : device is rooted.it says it has Wanamlite rom 4.2.2.
My Try list:
1)downloaded odin 3.09 and followed the instructions.(used the official rom given from sammobile.)and put the mobile to download mode(i couldn't do it with volume down+home+power button cos it is not working)but i thought i was lucky cos that custom rom had an option when i push the power button/restart/ it says there is a download menu so i choose that to put the device to download mod.after that i was hoping odin will do the job.but it FAILED DUE TO WRITE PROTECTION ENABLED on device.
2)i tried to setup cwm recovery to device(which i figured out later it was already on device but i didn't know it was there).downloaded rom manager from playstore.and i thought it would work.rom managers says i had 2 recovery programs or rom managers on the phone 1 is cwm and other is teamwin recovery.also rom manager asks me to update or upgrade cwm but it does't recognise the device cos it is i9505 with i9500 rom and rom manager couldn't identify the device as it should be.so cwm update doesn't work.also i couldn't get to the user interface of cwm which is already on the device no matter what i do.also i know old version of cwm will not make it happen for what i need to do if i was able to get in the user interface as well.i think teamwin is blocking cwm.
so on rom manager i decided to use the team win cos there is no other option for me there which puts the phone after a restart to recovery mod,the user interface works ok there but teamwin also FAILED TO WRITE THE ROM(i think it is an old version too)i couldn't say the exact version of cwm cos the device is not with me and i forget the version but team win i asked to my friend just yet and he said TWRP 2.6.00 is on it.
3)CWM i can't even get to user interface,i really don't know how to with team win there.So yeah i couldn't even give a try.
4)I am stuck.and i don't know what to do.
general user profile about me: i have a general understanding of computers,but i haven't written any rom to galaxy s4 before yet i found myself in a situation i can't handle.someone screwed up an i9505 with a i9500 rom.
ANY HELP FROM ANYONE will be very appriciated.

i have managed to upgrade tw recovery with flashify to final version but in odin still write protection is enabled in the download mod.so odin again failed.btw after upgrading tw with flashify i lost my ability to get into operating system.i just have tw recovery on the screen atm.
the rom file i tried is this one I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5 which i have downloaded from sammobile.
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_VOD.zip vodafone version it says for uk.
now i have a screen of tw recovery when the device opens.strange thing is i have 2 versions of tw recovery installed at the same time.when i press volume up+home+power tw version 2.6.00 loads.
or when i open the device with only power button tw recovery 2.7 loads.no operating system yet.
i tried I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_VOD.zip with tw. it gave me an error of md5 not found and failed.
what now?
anybody around there to help?
another note : i don't know if it is important or not but it says the product name is sghi337.checked google it says at-t network.is this a useful information or what to identify the problem?
all i want is any rom to make the device work again with fully functioning.

after having twrp 2.7 i tried some roms had md5 error,so after a search i wanted to try wanamlite rom wanamlite-xxufnbe-v2-4-android-kitkat-4-4-2-xposed.after installing wanamlite rom it has asked me to reboot.so i did reboot it.it had adam kernel 2.1 version.
i was expecting the device will reboot but thanks to at&t for making odin useless + making twrp useless as well.it had a message on the screen and it was written ''samsung custom'' with a locker logo open.i thought i have to wait for the first boot and be patient and after waiting about half an hour still nothing.(on the left up of the screen written red : kernel)i checked more than maybe hundreds of threads to find an answer about at&t sghi337 galaxy s4 and some ppl say i have to change the kernel.and some say i have to change it to at&t kernel i searched again for an at&t kernel i found a file name KT-SGS4-TW-JB-ATT-06-06-2013.zip.then i gave a try to that.but suddenly i realized i have lost the ability of booting to twrp 2.7.all i have left with is twrp 2.6.00 when i press volume up+home.still lucky to have it.i used that kernel reboot and got a message on the screen ''system software not authorized by at&t''.then i started searching again ppl say about loki doki.downloaded the file and flashed it on at&t kernel this time it showed samsung logo appeared and the boot sound which you know all of us familiar with and samsung led was blue.the led was like it is a pounding heart coming on and off.this should be the first load of the rom i thought again and waited and got no result.it didn't load again.failed failed and failed many times.
i also tried this file named MDOB-KERNEL2STOCK-LIB.zip.flashed it no result again.failed.this result was another strange thing.it was showing samsung custom logo boot it with sound and then turn the device off after 10 seconds.and repeats the process.reboots sounds and reboots again and again.
questions :
1) do i have a bootloader locked device?since i can't use odin to flash anything.(odin version 3.09) and if i have what can i do to fix it?
2)since i only have twrp 2.6.00 how can i upgrade it to 2.7 back with twrp.i mean twrp update using twrp.
3)with twrp 2.6.00 i used wanamlite rom kitkat version.and it says it has flashed it.but can it flash roms succesfully enough like 4.4.2?if it says it flashed everything is ok? or it misses some important features to make the rom work.what is the maximum capability of twrp 2.6.00.Do i have to try roms like 4.2.2?
4)about kernels with at&t i337 galaxy s4 what can i do?what should be the reason preventing the rom load successfully?if i have access to twrp does it mean i don't have to mess with bootloader cos i have already passed that step and got an interface for loading roms?i mean everything is ok with bootloader if i have twrp installed user interface? and after flashing a rom do i have to use the specific kernel coming with the rom or can i use any kernel for the device like stock kernels(doen't allow me to load) with loki doki or some kernels with loki doki?
i am so helpless,please enlighten me with your knowledge.any moderators or any developers can answer me?or help me?
stuck in the middle of nowhere.please help.

Getting some progress at the end!!!
Since twrp 2.6.00 is the only option i have,or i can say ''was the only option i had'' i knew i had to get an android user interface for upgrading my recovery.after a bit more search i found slimroms for android version 4.2.2 just to make the device run,and it is already loki patched.so yeah that rom flashed as lightspeed and loaded extremely fast!that worked!!! i have downloaded aptoide market since it was lacking google apps.and downloaded flashify to upgrade the version of twrp to 2.7.01.from now on i believe i can find my way to whichever kitkat rom that is loki patched would work with this recovery support.
THANKS TO SLIMROMS for making downloadable and flashable small sized roms and tnx for the guy whoever found the loki way to make it possible.Also great thanks to TWRP team!!!
PLEASE NOTE THAT : Why did i write this after no reply or no help or no messages to this thread?Because i have figured out my way reading,trying and hard pushing after failing a lot but i found my way with xda developers threads out there even no one ever replied for help.I mean thanks anyway :cyclops:

When in doubt, flash to stock ROM and proceed from there.

you mean to tell me u cant enter download mode? ask someone to press the 3 buttons together to enter it and flash the firmware specified for that S4.

Before you perform any changes PLS get informed about how to BACKUP your EFS. Friend of mine lost is while changing roms and there is no good chance to restore it without a valid backup.
May be some owner of the same device know how to get back to stock best.

Hi
Am on DN3 5.2 and unable to switch on power saver mode (not the Ultra Saving Mode). plz help.....

[Q] Factory Reset After Unlocking & Rooting Accident :(

ONePlus One 64GB
Unlocked, Rooted, Installled TWARP, & Custom ROM Sabermod CM12 -SM4.8-bacon, Android ver. 5.0.2, kernel ver 3.4.105AK.093.OPO.SKULL.CM12, GAPPS -lp-20141109-signed-zip, bacon_firmware_update_2015_04-09.zip... It took me forever to get this done.
I read in similar threads only data was supposed to be erased :\
Then friend said that GPlay store was soooo slow he Factory Reset... I had SuperSU, Root Checker, & Trickster.... all three gone.
1) Re-downloaded Root Checker & it say: SuperSU is not installed properly?
2) Can I download Color OS ROM & keep it saved with current custom rom then switch between running each one till I get them working right.
3) Why problem with Google Play store - Slow Gapps??
4) Do I proceed from here? Thank you all.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T110 unable to start after rooting several times.

Good day everyone, especially to every great and talented android developer out there. Please be nice and give some patience in me, im a newbie. I don't intend to annoy anyone . I am here asking for help to anybody.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T110
1. I rooted it and flashed custom recovery(TWRP) following this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674649. It works fine. Reasons? To enhance battery life and give smooth performance especially in games. I have backup everything and put in my laptop.
2. I installed app remover/uninstaller from google play to remove unwanted system applications.
3. I installed custom kernel/ROM and flashed it in recovery mode. It failed, I reboot the device, and it tells "NO OS".
I follow instructions in this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7/rom-i8200-build-t110-t3139478
4. I try to restore the back-up in recovery, but it failed. So, i downloaded the stock/official firmware.
5. I flashed stock recovery, then flashed the stock/official firmware of my device. It works again (No Root this time)
6. I am really curious about custom kernel/rom, so i reapeat 1-5. (3x)
7. The second time, i wonder why it failed to install the rom, so i go to recovery->wipe->format Data
8. This time, i know my device breaks. It keeps on rebooting and sometimes it stuck at startup.
9. I unbreak/softbreak it following no. 1 but nothing change, my device didn't start. It's stuck.
I think my device is now dead.
Any comments/suggestions is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
