[Q] remove flash and root history - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guyz my note recently got screwed up power problems , so i flashed the stock rom back and unrooted my not to fix my note on the warranty from service center so after 3 days of leaving my note there the maintenance team told me " this time we will fix your phone on the warranty but next time dont root it " how the hell did they find that out and they told me also that i have flashed 87 times via oden so i wanna root back my phone and try Asylum cyanogenmode 10.1 , 4.2.1 so is there anyway to clear the flash and root history from where ever they are found ???
also they told me you can flash whatever custom rom you'd like as long as you dont root your phone
so i found out that flashing on the stock rom without rooting does not void your warranty
thanks all in advance

may be because the counter was not cleared and you had a yellow triangle at boot ?
yes. you can flash any stock rom using odin and that doesnot void the warranty

you can check that in download mode... triangle away app can reset it

how can i reset the binary count ??
and if i reset the binary and root it, will the service center know that i rooted it ??
edit : i just checked and opened download mode : custom binary download : yes ( 87 counts)

yes thats from where they came to know.
If you root, and before going to service center, just unroot and make sure the counter is 0 .. no one will come to know

could you kindly tell me how to reset it ?

my 1st post last line

87 Flashed roms! OMG, you are a Flasheaholic... Try using Chainfire's Triangle Away app, it will reset your binary counter and delete the Triangle (if you have it, of course)
Good luck! Sorry my bad english

87 count not necessarily mean flashed roms 87 roms. Just run into a small brick and your counter will say over 50 trying to restore your phone. He he.

where do we find triangle? i just have the big android logo and these details on upper left side.
Are you sure its not soft brick?
If its really hardbrick, flash the latest stock kernel from the firmware of your region (if you had custom kernel).
---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
Then you can safely return the phone to Samsung SVC.

i dont know if its hardbrick or softbrick, i just didnt want to take chances of voiding the warranty.
i also wonder that how are the binary counts none because i have flashed loads of roms?
i belive u get the the triangle in the download page.
binary count in no and says samsung i think u can call warranty back, if not :/
try flashing and keep up to date

I suggest you flash stock kernel before take your phone to samsung svc (If your phone is not stone cold dead).
You don't wanna get caught with Clockwork Recovery, do you ?
I just flashed lpf stock and its up and running again.. Visit to SVC dodged for now..

If it gets stuck on factoryfs, it may be a case of a bricked device which i hope isnt the case with you... I flashed stock lpf eith bootloader n pit files from dr ketan's thread.. Mine got through the factoryfs thing.. I suggest you to go through brick threads to grt more idea..

[Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?

Hi,
I want to root my device, which i have upgraded recently to 4.1.2
the thing is, I found some information in root threads regarding build no. like XXAMA1, XXAMA2, XXAMA4 ...etc
what are the differences between them? if all of them are 4.1.2 JB?! will anyone work?
to make it easier, which thread can work to root my SG3mini device:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I8190XXAMA3
Kernel version: 3.0.31-860525
Build number: JZ054K.I8190XXAMA3
You can just root the one you got. No need to re-flash the whole rom.

Yes you can, but only if you make a factory reset first. Otherwise you'll have bootloops or force closed apps.

No it shouldn't be any problem. Factory reset makes sure there is no leftovers from previous install. Clears cache, settings, user data.

Just flash a wipe.tar and then your firmware.
I never had to flash param.lfs to get it boot.
Once I had to pull the battery and power on again when it got stuck on boot after flash.

Yes flash as pda. It's basicly the same as a factory reset.
If your phone reboots after, just put it in download again and flash firmware.

i dont get it.i have my 4.1.2 rooted now,but after flashing ,my phone doesnt boot.it only boots when i flash the PARAM file.i restarded my phone to check if that works and that works fine.i dont think this is a big problem,is it?
at first sight everything works fine.
WIPE doesnt work,and factory reset doesnt work either.is there a option to do this manually.i have clear master,is that the same?

thank you tys0n for your replies! i kept my CSC, didn't change it.. since i'm already having 4.1.2 (last firmware for s3 mini till now)
and followed this way to root my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150979
and it worked
the only thing is, this way increased the flash counter! i dont know how is this bad, but i guess just if i want to give it to someone to check it, they will know, right?!
BUT I found other rooted ROM that they will reset binary count after flash to "none"! and will show firmware as "official" instead of "custom"..
anyway, good to learn and i'm saying all that just in case any noob like me saw this thread in the future maybe they can find one useful info or two
sorry TerenceTP7 that i can't help you.. still new to those things..
and thank you again tys0n

Read some, learn some.
Triangle away won't make your csc:unknown "problem" go away.
Reset the binary count won't make your device take kies or ota updates neither.
What do you want to achieve here? Back to unrooted stock or what?

Please help me. Please..explain me.. my device says custom binary download yes (1) and the following two say: custom binary: Samsung Official and system status: Official. Does custom binary download yes (1) show that someone modified my device? It is bought as new from store. It's i 9305 Samsung S3 4G. One more thing..it has some Vodafone applications on it.. we don't have Vodafone in my country. If Vodafone were messing with the phone adding apps and stuff does that changes to "Custom Binary Download Yes (1)" but the phone still has the official Samsung software??
I'm asking because I can't upgrade the phone to 4.3. I't still 4.1.2. I received official update but can't be installed. It downloads completely and when installing it gets interrupted at 27% of installing with the message try kies or PC to install your update, but then another problem...my two PCs don't recognize my device. Please help. Thank you.

[Q] Rooted K zoom Needed to the technical service. HELP PLEASE

Hi, my K Zoom needs to go to the Samsung technical service (some rare drops on the camera sensor), but I flashed a kernel, and then the latest official Rom with odin, and now I have the triangle shown on the download mode.
How can I revert the K Zoom to get the guarantee service?
I've read the ChainFire thread but the k zoom it's not listed to be supported. Someone had used it?
Any advice?
Please,I need you!
Thanks in advance!
No one has an idea?:crying:
Just download the firmware from Sam Mobile and flash with Odin. Do not flash any kernel. It will Revert Back to Stock and you can send it for Warranty Claim.
---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------
Do not flash any other file Except for Stock Firmware for your Model and it will be Okay.
Thanks!
The sequence i used:
1.- Custom Kernel Flashed
2.- Original firm from Sam Mobile and flashed with odin
3.- Now i´m not root and everything in stock
Now, when i enter in download mode this is what i see, with a previous screen with a yellow triangle, and then this:
Produc name: sm-115
Current Binary: samsung Official
System Status: Official
Ap swrev: (1)
If you´re right, the phone is stock and in guarrantee, isn´t it?
Thanks again!
(I´m traying to be really sure because i only have one try in the technical service... :angel

Thanks a lot!
Good morning...
And good night from Spain... (still needing your help!)
No
You cannot send this phone to samsung in this condition.
Do NOT flash Custom Kernel flash only firmware and then have a look if its changed to No Triangle.
THANKS Talpur!
So... I flashed the original rom, the triangle is still there. What could I do? Any idea? Thanks, once again.
Try Traingle away.
Its an app for removing triangle.
That will probably solvr your problem.
---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------
After running triangle away flash the rom again to be sure.
sorry, no chance yet
you can still try to sent it in
they will either send it back,
or offer to repair at your cost
else... sell it as defective on eBay
Just download the firmware from Sam Mobile and flash with Odin. Do not flash any kernel.

[Q] Bricked S6?

I flashed 5.1.1 using via odin 3.10 (no errors etc.) now my phone stuck at Powered by Android screen. I tried to reflash the firmware many times but still the same thing.
Before flashing 5.1.1 my phone was running Looper firmware. I did modify the build.prop (ro.securitystorage = false). Does this cause the issue?
When i get into recovery mode i see this yellow text
"dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first..."
Please help me to revive this phone. Thank you

If you get stuck in a boot loop go into recovery and do a factory reset!
Follow these instructions :
1. press: power/home/vol up keys at the same time.
2. Use vol up/down to get to factory reset
2. press pwr button to select
3. maneuver to erase user data, select using pwr button
4. maneuver to erase cache partition,select using pwr button.
4. Reboot
I did all those steps many times and reflashed the rom like 10 times.. Still the same thing

restore your efs back up (original one) then reflash the rom via odin. If you don't have your original back up then you're out of luck
Wow. That's crazy. Guess it just goes to show how important backing up your efs is. I haven't, but I'm also not a Samsung guy. I will now.
