Hi All,
I was wondering now since we have ZIP packages for the i727 and i717 to reset the ROM counter is a i957 dev could get one for us on the i957?
No love??

Hi, I want to restore my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 factory Rom (Bell Canada) and I can't find the rom.
I've already done that before after trying to install Darkie's rom. Now i can't find the rom anymore
And how is this related to accessories?
samfirmware .com SGS firmwares
Tried the samfirmware.com, but can't find the right FW that will make my phone compatible with kies again. I asked my friend for the PDA Release version and he answered me with I9000UGKG3 but all i found was the PDA tar file to upgrade from 2.1 (witch i tried but dont work) its been 2hrs i've been looking for the complete firmware (the 3files to flash with odin) but i don't find em

I'm afraid I can't help you, pal. But this should really be in the Q and A section, not accessories.

Rom: settings. about my phone.

just install a stock rom and make a factory reset *2767*3855#
Hi guys, I just bought a Galaxy Note and want to know about the flash counter.
I have a Galaxy S I9000 and flashed 100's of different ROMS via ODIN and never had any issues. But I have heard that Samsung keeps a track of it on SGS2 and on Note. Can somebody give me an explanation about the flash counter? Like how many attempts, how to reset, how it impacts the warranty, etc.?
Thanks & Regards,
Dinesh.
P.S.: Happy New Year to all the members of XDA.
If you flash stock rom with kernel it won't raise conter. It raises wen you use odin to flash custome rom. With a single raise you will lost warranty. Also it gives yellow triangle on boot, whivh cam be removed with flashing cf root, but to reset counter you need a tool 'jig'. Which is available on marker or you can make it own.
To make it own you hav to just open ne micro usb pin of note, have to connect 4th n 5th pin with 301resistor.
Thank you so much Dr. Ketan for the reply. So I believe I can flash any stock ROM from sammobile.com without raising the counter, right?
For ex: I m currently on KL3 and if I flash KL7 or KL8 firmware by downloading it from sammobile.com, It wont raise the counter. Am I correct?

Correct.
Cheers
U r correct just note that kl7/8 can't root directly. Reamaining me rom u can get it
Read link in signature if u need to know in detail
Got it. Thank you for all the responses. I any ways wont root my GNote so I m going to update it to KL8. I remembered rooting I9000 so I can install custom ROMS with Voodoo lagfix. I dont think its needed anymore with devices like SGS2 and GNote.
What are the improvements between KL3 and KL7/8/9 ? Is it worth upgrading it manually or wait from Samsung officially?
I am pretty sure all these carriers now have this device here in Canada. Any one have know where to find their ROM images?

Is there any way to repack the Telus ROM so that it can be flashed on the AT&T version without tripping the flag counter?

just curious why you would want to flash the Telus ROM? is it better than the AT&T one? is the only issue with it is the increase of the flash counter? ie exact same hardware so should work?
The Telus ROM comes with native wireless tethering enabled. It's absent in the AT&T ROM. As far as I can tell, bloatware removal still won't enable it on the AT&T ROM, and the solution most have resorted to is using third party apps which are usually worse for battery life than native tethering.

ah good to know thanks. wonder how the Bell and Rogers ROMS compare?
Bloatware can be removed in the ATT ROM. I tried the Telus and wiped cache/data/factory reset, all to no avail. Besides cranking up the custom flash counter, the lockscreen doesn't respond 9 times out of ten.
YMMV. Good luck if you do try it.

Yes but the important question is, does any of the bloatware removal you can do to the AT&T ROM result in functional native tethering?
I obviously don't own the device (yet?) so I can't comment, but it looks like some other posters did not have any trouble at all installing the Telus ROM on their AT&T devices and responded very positively to the results.
i should be getting an AT7T version in the next day or so and I will post back with results
Telus/Bell/Rogers ROM shouldn't increment the flash counter since it's an official ROM.

Nonetheless it has been reported that it does increment the flash counter on an AT&T unit.
It could be that the device has a built-in ID that checks whether the ROM you flash matches it, and if not, it increments the counter.
well i got my at&t unit today. tried to flash the telus firmware via odin (did not have the re-partition checked). everything went fine until amss.bin which I think is the modem. now it won't boot and am having trouble flashing with odin. also the flash counter has been incremented.
any tips to at least get this restored?
ok got the at&t firmware back. just couldnt get the telus firmware flashed in odin. any tips?
I'm wondering if the system.img and boot.img from the Odin file could just be flashed manually using dd in recovery (possibly catastrophic if done wrong, so take a nandroid backup first).

ok finally got the Telus ROM flashed. they trick was to root and install custom recovery first. then it doesnt care about the security error on the odin flash. imho telus rom much cleaner and closer to "stock". also, dont use sp.telus.com as apn on the at&t rom, it results in data overages.
Haha sorry for the blow by blow updates. The first root method does not seem to work on the telus rom. Will try 2nd method later.

Somehow got it rooted with method 1 eventually.

I tested. It does increment the counter. I believe (but have no firm proof) that any non-ATT kernel flashed via ODIN will increment it.
Then there's the problem of ODIN being unable to flash the modem due to "security fail". Like a bootloader lock?
In other news, the Skyrocket guys have an update.zip that fixes the custom flash counter! All it takes is one person who hasn't increased their counter extracting a special file. Not sure exactly which one.
So even if you've flashed Telus onto an ATT device there's hope to clean up the counter.
I've heard there's a second counter on some Samsung devices, that counts when you reset the first counter

Hi Guys, Im a relative noob for this phone so just looking for a small bit of help if I could.
Im wanting to flash a new modem onto my i9305 as the one I have now (ZHALI2) drops out with data/phone calls periodically. Phone was imported from HK so I want to get back to a telstra one. I previously had a i9305T with telstra and never had any issues but sold for internal version i9305.
I dont want to root the phone (not enough options out there for custom roms to interest me yet) so my 2 questions are:
1) Is there a list of modems that can be flashed by odin out there? Have found thread with only CWM flashable modems but no use unless I root
2) Can i flash a modem meant for the i9305T onto my i9305??
Thanks a lot for any help

Personally I think its worth rooting just so you can install an add blocker and the ability to be able to back up all your apps and data in case something goes wrong
You can flash any i9305 Modems. The T just means they put telstra bloatware on it
Hello,
I need to take my tablet to shop as it has lost its touchscreen functionality. Accordingly i can not use TriangleAway to reset the flash counter.
i stumbled upon threads for Galaxy S3, but not idea if that will work for I957 , so thought i should ask before i further brick my tablet.
Thanks in advance
