Stories similar to Samsung Galaxy S2 Flash Counter Reset

To start with, I'm flash addict and always trying to flash new roms/firmwares. However after flashing one of the newest samsung firmware i got this little red exlamation mark:

I have tried to reset flash counter in a lot of ways but it always stayed at number "1" (After you reset with triangle away latest, opening app again shows 0 flash counter but after reboot it increases to 1).

Hi all,

I was wondering if there's a way to reset the flash counter on the 7102 for warranty purposes (I know, we need to be in China but some of us visit/live there so it may be handy).

My i9100m was having some problems so I sent it in to samsung under the manufacturers warranty. I flashed the stock rom but forget to reset the flash counter. Is this a bad thing and what will happen if they figure out that my phone has been rooted?

im kind of confused how I can get the flash counter back to 0 without tripping off the flash counter.

triangle away allows me to do this, but it requires ICS + a kernal flash (ive done searched, and the only way i could find to get the phone rooted with ICS = kernal flash). once i do the reset, i have to ODIN it back to stock, which will set off the counter again. any ideas?

I read that Samsung Galaxy S3 has a hidden(?) "flash counter". Every time a user flash a ROM into his phone, the counter increments by one.

Questions:

1. How can I find out what's my phone's current "flash count"? where is the counter?

2. Other than flashing ROMs, would anything else increment the counter?

3.

Can anyone help me to reset my flash counter in my Samsung GT i9070 (galaxy s advance). Can't use 'Triangle Away' coz still running on Gingerbread 2.3.6

Trying to find out some info.. I recently came into the Bell version of the GS2 HD LTE ... Rooted and all is well currently have CM9 without issue.

QUESTION IS: I checked the counter and it has been tripped (no yellow triangle though) how can I reset or do I need to worry about it... As to warranty there is none.

Thanks for any insight as I searched and searched can't find anything on this ....

Hey there I was searching/googleing the instructions for unrooting the T-Mobile Galaxy Note (t879) but could only find the international versions.

Does anyone know the process or can point me to a video/tutorial to go back to a fully unrooted Note? Also, how do I go about going back to the tmo recovery, removing the CWM recovery? Where can I find that?
