Im on Lightning,

xxkh3, Does that have the new bootloader,

As the Jig dont reset mine, either.

Also is there a way to downgrade the boot loader with out flashing the rom,

The link you supplied above has Official Firmwares, I would like to keep Lightning,
I also belive these new bootloaders stop you from loading new boot screens, Via odin

Thanks for your Help.

Its based on xxkh1,

i had it working on the the same rom, But my phones battery died, ( 3 weeks old)
Anyway, they just sent me a new phone, (i reset the old one with the jig)
Did the same with this new one. Jig wont work, But nor can i change the boot.img,
(and i did on the old one)
If the jig takes it into download mode, But does not clear the counter, Could it be the Jig,
OR
Is it that the loader is stopping the Jig from doing its Secondary task.

Is there a Letter,
that the new loader was used from, So I.e Loaders before G.

And which part is the loader. ( so i can try and keep lightning. ) Or is it just the frimware, and im missing the point.

(Just as a FYI, would it make a difference if i restored Lightning from CWM, Cause i Did) as i also tried Villian. ))

Thanks for taking the time to respond, im sure this will help me and others. 🙂

Hello,

A few stupid questions, but I can’t find the answer. I have successfully flashed the old bootloader using Odin v1.85 and then used my USB jig to reset the flash counter. All worked well no problem. I was just wondering a few things.

The latest bootloader, is it really necessary ? Will I encounter any problems or suffer any lack of performance ?

Is it possible to flash the bootloader without using a PC ? I would like to have the latest one, but flashing using Odin obviously will increase the flash counter by 1, negating the use of the USB jig and also rendering the jig useless for resetting the flash counter again.

Thank You in advance

Hi Jayce,

Thanks for this wonderful info’s that you have given us. By the way I bought my phone recently an im on XWLA4. Ive done a couple of flashes which increase my couter. now I want to reset the counter so I bought a jig which doesn’t seem to work. I’ve heard that I need a much older firmware for this jig to work.

Can you tell me which firmware exactly do i need to download so that i can be able to reset my counter.

any help will be appreciated. more power jayce

Hi jayce!

I just made my own Usb jig and it goes to downloading mode but it doesn’t erase my binary counter. I’m running now with a custom ROM and kernel and my baseband version now is XXK14. And my original firmware is JPKJ2.

Thanks jayce! By the way if I flash the old bootloader, what will happen to my custom rom and custom kernel? Will it just stay the same and only the binary download counter will turn back to zero again? And also about the link to the old bootloader, it doesn’t work. I think there’s still a problem with the downloads in multiupload.

Plase master Jayce, help me!

I have a simple query: I downloaded here the OLD BOOTLOADER in order to the Jig works while I was using Gingerbread.

The question is… Can I use the same old bootloader now that I have ICS installed?

Is there any problem flashing the old bootloader on a ICS room, like LPQ?

Thanks!

Hello Jayce,
What happens if we don’t reset the binary count and if it goes on increasing, apart from the warranty issues. Thanks

Don’t offense, but why you don’t recommend this app to reset counter and remove yellow triangle without a USB Jig? Works very well (Triangle Away by Chainfire)

hi i have s advance i9070 ok now i rooted
but the binary count is 15
how i reset this binary
help me plz

Just so you know, Samsung isn’t against the flashing of other firmware; the cell phone companies are. The custom binary download count is meant for the carriers, NOT SAMSUNG.

Before you tell people “I don’t think it would void the warranty because cyanogenmod got a free phone from Samsung for development”, remember that has absolutely nothing to do with the carriers and their policies. IF YOUR PHONE BREAKS AND YOU BRING IT IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR AND THE CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD COUNT SAYS ANYTHING BESIDES ZERO, THAT IS GROUNDS FOR THE CELL PHONE COMPANY TO VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Think before you try to pass things off as fact. It makes everything you say look less credible. If you don’t even know the difference between carrier policies and Samsung’s policies, why would anyone think anything on this site is correct?

Hi, I’m an Android enthusiast, and I am running stock firmware on the GT-I9305, or the Galaxy S3 4G. I am currently attempting to clear my binary counter, but I have recently upgraded my software to 4.3 through flashing by odin, which means that there are no yet available CF Auto roots available for my firmware. Do you think there will be a way to root my phone, or possibly clear the binary count without root access? Thanks.
