No, there are ways to reset the counter, but none to flash a custom ROM without increasing it.

Yes i know we can reset it. But i dont have a usb jig : (
With ICS it'll be a lot easier, there's an app called TriangleAway by Chainfire.
Two different thing

Flash zip file with cwm
Any custom rom/kernel flashed with pc odin will raise counter
Niether mobile odin nor cwm

Which doesn't mean TriangleAway won't reset both ;-)

Yes, you got it right...flashing custom Roms/kernels from CWM Recovery will not raise your counter, nor will it give you the triangle.
Only flashing custom Roms/kernels through PC Odin will.

Hello, 2 make a long story short, I wipe data in cwm5 while on "CF-LPY KERNEL" on ICS(OFFICIAL RELEASE) . And now I can't flash stock rom from both ics & gingerbread. Keep getting stuck @ FACTORYFS.IMG in odin. And I can't access cwm5 anymore and whenever I turn my phone back on it reads " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AND ISSUE, PLEASE GO TO RECOVERY IN KIES & AND TRY AGAIN". And kies is not recognizing my device any insight on this particular issue will help and be greatly appreciated, and one more thing, will a jtag service be beneficial in my situation or I have no choice but to get a new motherboard for my device? And where exactly can I purchase one being that I'm in the united states with no warranty
You can try to flash with pc odin 1.85 a GB rom with .pit file
Whats the function of this pit file?

Did you have a warranty? And where did u go?
If any of you with this brick can still flash kernels, try to flash the LPF CF-Root Kernel with CWM included. Then boot into CWM and within the "mounts and storage" menu, try to run the options "mount /system" and "mount /data". If i for myself try these two mounts, CWM tells me that it cannot find these two folders ("/system" and "/data").
btw: you can go back to original kernel by using the official method explained here
So in this case as some people here mentioned repartitioning within eMMC would manage getting around the bad areas/sectors within the chip by rearranging the partitions using ADB / ADB SHELL, i for myself cannot use ADB SHELL. What i definitely can do is connecting my Galaxy Note to the PC and also get a connection. But as soon as i try ADB SHELL, also ADB tells me something like "/system/bin/sh" not found.
Herk718, the problems you mention in your post are the exact same problems I had...and a lot more "members". I think I've tried every possible "solution" up until today, but without any luck. When it's up to me you can forget those posts advising you to flash this or flash that, it just won't work. Every PC Odin flash will stop at factoryfs.img (pit files won't work either)
As you actually said, we have to wait for a fix specific for this problem or bring you note to a SSC.

Of course I have warranty ... but before go to SSC , I flash ICSKernelTest.tar with pc odin to make my binary counter to zero. I'm from Indon****.

Your phone isnt rooted, so you getting this error, try flashing a pre-rooted kernel, i am not sure if it will root a bricked phone or not... no harm in trying : )
Edit: did you flash the kernel provided in forest's guide here post 12?
Flash that kernel, get into recovery mode, connect via adb, repartition, flash gb rom, flash angelom kernel to reset binary count, flash your rom's stock kernel again and claim warranty.
Herk try forest's guide, its got link to hg42's thread about the custom pit method.
simple way, get the firmware u want (preferably the oldset GB version) and download the pit files from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
then load the pit file with different regains ( 1024000 and 2560000kb worked with my note) and be sure u load 16 or 32gb accordingly.
same time load the firmware in pda , select re-partition option in odin and procceed.... start
good luck....
sometimes even u are sucessfull, the note will be stuck at a boot loop, wat i did was a factory reset at cwm recovery , do it at ur risk......(so its better to use GB firmware)

Does our ace have a flash counter??
There was a recent development on resetting flash counter on S3, so is there any counter on our phones that the samsung service center guys can check to see if the device is rooted or not.
I know there was a small discussion on this before but no answer was derived then.
Original ace=no.
Newer ace "i" variant=yes.
I don't think so that Ace Has got a flash counter.
Let me tell you how to check it. Reboot into Downloading Mode.
See if there is some screen coming where it is written 'Press Vol Up to continue' 'Vol Down to cancel' and when you press vol up then it should have 'Downloading..." written along with a counter on top saying 'Samsung Binary Official : xxx' if you find the last line somewhere in download mode, then your ace has counter else enjoy! Keep flashing

There is actually one according to ketut...just that the counts are not shown...that is why cwm flashing is more encouraged thn ODIN flashing...as once a certain count is reached, the phone may not boot...

You're wrong,I flashed my ace-i 2 time with odin and so many times i flashed it via cwm,and in download mode it's shows:
ODIN MODE
Product Name : GT-S5830i
Custom Bin Down: NO (0 counts)
Current Bin: Samsung Official
So the binary counter is bugged ?

Nope...he meant a different thing...
To clear things up, the ace does have a flash counter. Its limited to 5 odin flashes per day. But there is no limitation on cwm flashes. The odin counter is reset every day. So it shouldn't be much of a problem!

Yeah.
An easy way to check if your phone has a flash counter that is displayed (a la Galaxy S2), go into Download Mode.
If you see 'Downloading...' your phone's flash counter is invisible.
If you get a prompt asking you if you want to continue, your flash counter is visible.
please help..
i think my note is bricked.
its stuck on factoryfs step when i try flash with PC odin.
i want go to services center to claim warranty
but i have one problem.
i am already using custom kernel in my note. so i am afraid the warranty will void.
its there any idea to change my kernel to original kernel ?
oh ya im on ICS 4.0.4 Singapore..
thanx
Looky signature for 'toolbox' you will find stock kernel thread link from it.
Flash using pc odin (pda),most probably you will able to.flash it, except you have big loss on partition.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
We already have 4-5 threads with same issue....and even if you some how manage to flash a stock kernel it will not remove your root and that will void your warranty. Retry on on some different PC, some users managed to do it like this.
Edit- M I right dr.ketan?
It requires precious log to know exact issue he faces. If it is not brick but due to connectivity issue then knly it can b managed with other pc. Flashing stock kernel will unroot device, but sure leftover will remain.but if it is real brick and they (service centre)won't able to boot it and never know abt leftover.
They will have two option to check
1.recovery - if it is custom, they will find u r rooted, thats y i advised him to flash stock kernel
2.download mode : you shud not have raised flash counter.
So,
My recommendation
Confirm it is real brick, if yes
Flash stock kernel
Reset counter if.raised
Reclaim warranty

Easy and safe method is using TriangleAway app to remove yellow triangle if you are on Rooted ICS
or else you will have to use USB JIG.

my problem was solve..
flashing with this kernel
didnt make resetting binary counter, but help me to Boot to ROM.
so i just installing triangle away and resetting binary.
after that everything looks normal for me
my galaxy note its on.
btw after flashing with that kernel,
i can't connect to wifi
so i use speedmod kernel and everything its allright,
it is oke to use speedmod kernel in ICS 4.0,4 ?
btw thanx for all of yours help and replies
I dont know which kernel was it, b'coz link is broken. But as you said wifi was not working, it means that shud be custom. Stock kernel dont have wifi issue.
Anyway Triangle away will reset your counter.
Yes you can use speedmod, then reset counter.

Hi Guyz...
I was on Android 4.0.4 Stock Indian Rom & stock kernel
I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953847
and i went to it.. than i downloaded that rom..
now it was time to install it..
I went to recovery mode than i selected CWM.zip and flashed it..
than in CWM I wiped Data
but i think data was not wiped ! phone automatically turned on... and was hanged on Samsung logo.. i thought it has been done
now i went to apply zip from sd card.. i applied the zip provided by eybee1970
Done.. it installed.. now it was showing Samsung's New Logo on startup..
i was happy coz i thought now m on JB !
than I waited 10 minutes but phone was hanged on samsung's logo
i thought maybe it is installation problem..
I again went to recovery mode.. now my recovery mode was changed ! i was directly into CWMR
and i seen kernel also changed ! it was Philz's Kernel...
I thought now its perfect for my Note.. Now i can install JB
i again flashed that Zip file..
But again phone was hanged on Samsung Logo !
i waited 30 minutes...
than i again went to recovery mode and I wiped Data again..
than again i Flashed that zip file
Now phone was Showing -
Galaxy Note GTN7000 Only
again i flashed zip for 4th time.. now i thought it may be a problem of that zip ! it may never install...
Now i changed my mood and connected my note with pc and opened odin and tried to install - N7000DDLR6_N7000ODDLR2_N7000DDLR1
but it was also not getting installed ! Odin gaved error - Fail !

My Note Not opening

What Can I Do Now ? Please Help Friends
and sorry coz i do not read the whole post and do a direct installations do not prepare and care for instructions..
plz help guyz plz
First off all always read related thread carefully before trying new rom on your Note. There are lots of warning in this forum not to use recovery mode when you are on stock ICS rom.
Anyway try to install stock gingerbread rom on your note using pc odin. It is better to use Dr. Ketan`s step by step guide to root your note and installing new rom. I hope you are able to go to download mode. BEST OF LUCK

I guess u bricked ur note..if odin fails, then try claiming warranty from Samsung, if your phone is under warranty..
If not, try jig, JTAG, PIT file methods..*after reading & understanding completely & thoroughly*
I've been there buddy....
1. Download a safe kernel *.tar for flashing from pc odin
- after install u'll be able to get into recovery
2. Get an original firmware from www.sammobile.com
-u r gonna flash it from pc odin along with the PIT file.
-- boot into download mode
-- flash firmware
-- finish... now can continue flash new kernel and ROM

And if you are not sure about flashing a rom,its better to take it again to service center

check if your usb storage is 11gb, if yes, then flash a safe kernel and do a factory reset and test again
