[Q] Reseting Binary Counter (I9500)

What up guys, so was thinking of finally rooting my phone and flashing all these beautiful roms, but my problem is that we can not reset the binary counter using ...or thats what i know. All I know is that triangle away isn't yet supported for the I9500 model and so my question is..does anyone know if there is an actual way to reset it or if anyone knows when Chainfire will release the compatible update.
Thanks
Stay Cool.

it's against the Rules on XDA to say which Rom is the best so just go for the most popular one

No. there is no way till now to reset the binary counter
You can flash a pre rooted ROM via ODIn and it would not increase the counter and you would also have root

So just flashing stock rom will reset it? Have you tried this and succeeded?

I guess you are wrong Buddy. You are talking about Device Status. We are talking about BInary Counter. There is No Way you can see the binary counter in I9500.

Well "dear" thats the status not the counter, the counter is when you install any not samsung recovery like cwm and install roms and stuff from there which will make the counter increase each time...

Due. You are confused. There are 2 things Device Status ( what you are talking about ) and Binary Counter ( what i am talking about )
What You are Saying that Is in regards to Device Status and Not Binary Counter,
Please Read through XDa to understand the Difference between the 2
And i am happy being a Human then a "Dear"

MDH8 FW corrupted my sound

Well, I already have read that the last FW from samsung done troubles with locked bootloader and sound problems. I tried today flashing MDH8 rom like a stupid asshole. Then I decided to go back to the previous one and at the end I succsessfully reverted back to Omega MH1 but the problem is that All my sounds are gone.. Alarm, music. notifications nothing makes a sound..
Has any body also had it?
What can I do to solve that? Is it possible to solve it for now? Thanks.
Edit: guess Ill have to flash Stock MGG or MH8 trough Odin and then pray to god..

Any body?

It's safe. I was on Stock MH8 and rooted using latest CF-Auto Root and then flashed CWM and installed CM10.2, no troubles at all.
However I heard that once you flash a custom ROM it triggers flash counter and you can't go back to Stock ROM again. Don't know if it's true but another member mentioned it in another thread.
It's probably worth sticking with stock until we know more about it.

Im still on MH8 with root at the moment, but you could try a custom rom. If sound breaks again just rinse and repeat.

Just flash stock rom again with odin that has always worked for me should wipe every thing back to stock

[Q] Rogers i337m - No Wifi after multiple flashes. Newbie :(

Hi All,
I tried unsuccessfully to root my i337M from Rogers (Canada). After multiple tries using Odin and finally trying to return it to stock, I now have no wifi (won't turn on) nor any sound.
I assume that the modem (fw) is not the same now after multiple flashing as the ROM that I flashed. I have been searching and have not found a way to remedy the situation.
Is there anyone who can refer me to the exact steps that I need to take in my situation?
Thanks in advance
Larry

Can you boot it into Recovery mode? If so do a factory reset and see if that cures it. If not, grab official files from sammobile.Then use Odin to flash it ( I have the same phone with Fido )http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I337M/RWC/
Then see how it works as that should fix it regardless
---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------
Then use TowelRoot to root it ( one click and no Knox 0x1 problems )

Thanks Harry,
I did it, thanks. I'm selling the S4 and was worried I semi-bricked it
Thanks again,
Larry

Looking to go back to stock Rogers as well... I downloaded an NI2 firmware from SamMobile and flashed with ODIN. Now I have no WIFI (can't enable it), and I see this is pretty common and will be trying a few things. However the fix for this seems to vary for everyone.
I am downloading an MK6 firmware now as this is what I think was on there when I bought it a long time ago and will try that. Is there a confirmed fix for this?

I found flashing another kernel did the trick, I flashed talexop and it works perfectly now.
