Triange Away now supports I8190 (SIII mini)
Big thanks to Chainfire for update, and infected_ for doing the beta test so we all can be safe! Give him a thanks!!
Follow this for easy root:
EASY ROOT GUIDE
To make things clear, as it seems to be alot of confusion about rooting, custom binary count (CBC), & custom recoveries..
Custom binary count can be seen in download mode (vol- / home / power)
It's a counter to keep track of non-Samsung signed binaries flashed with Odin.
If you need to take your device to Samsung for warranty and they notice it's not at zero, you're not under warranty anymore.
Only known way to gain root without increased CBC is to flash one of the pre-rooted firmwares that you can find here.
To be safe, make sure it says something like "This does NOT trigger the flash counter." in the thread for that firmware you are about to flash to gain your highly desired root.:cyclops:
When you got root, finally download rom manager from playstore and you can get cwm recovery with ease.
From there you can flash whatever *.zip's you want without worrying about CBC.
If you do it the other way around, start with custom recovery to be able to flash a "root.zip" you will increase CBC!!
This applies if you try to flash any custom recovery.
In other words..Everything not signed by samsung will get your CBC INCREASED WHEN FLASHED THROUGH ODIN!!
System Status back to OFFICIAL
To restore system status to official you'll need to take a few more steps.
First use triangle away to reset your counter, then tick "allow tracker to run" and "system modified workaround" in triangle away settings.
Reboot device. Supersu will be bisabled for a few minutes when tracker runs and your status will become official.
Now you can uninstall triangle away. On next reboot your systemstatus will still be official, but of course it won't work with a custom kernel or custom rom.
If everything went well you should now have your binary count at 0, and a system status that says official.
Back to Stock Recovery
Most firmwares now have recovery included in the *.tar.md5-package, which was not the case in earlier firmwares for i8190.
You can take a look inside the package to ensure it's there. If it is, you shouldn'd have to mess with restoring recovery.
Open the firmware.rar.md5 with winrar. (Not unpack, just open)
Use this "i8190_stock_recovery.tar.md5". <<---This one doesn't increase custom binary count. (Flash in Odin as PDA)
Edit: This seem to not work as it used to. I'm now adding PDA-specific recovery.tar's to this thread, with continiued updates.
Thanks to Benz0nator, here is also a CWM flashable stock recovery.(Flash with your CWM / TWRP recovery)
So...is warranty back now? NO, not really. You're still rooted so you can't just send it to service in this condition.
For unroot and get warranty back you'll have to read [GUIDE] Unroot, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I8190
Whats important to know here is that stock recovery is not always a part of the official firmware package so you might need to flash stock recovery before you unroot and flash firmware.
Also, If you're on 4.1.2 firmware and flash a 4.1.1 firmware you will get problems if no wipe/factory reset is done prior to flashing, as most roms are non-wipe.
Thank you.

It's a counter to keep track of non-Samsung signed binaries flashed with Odin.
If you need to take your device to Samsung for warranty and they notice it's not at zero, you're not under warranty anymore.
Atm there is no known way to restore CBC to zero for I8190 (SIII mini)
Also, If you're on 4.1.2 firmware and flash a 4.1.1 firmware you will get problems if no wipe/factory reset is done prior to flashing, as most roms here are non-wipe.
If you find another method for any of this, please let me know and I will update this post.
Thank you.

Question
Hi!
I am a little bit confused. I flashed a pre-rooted I8190XXALJL firmware.
When I go to download mode,
on the bottom of FIRST screen is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.
When I press Volume Up, on the SECOND SCREEN is following text:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I8190
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Please explain somebody, why the yellow triangle? What is the CBC count then? I'm now in official or in custom mode?
Need I run the Chainfire's Triangle Away tool or not?

The yellow triangle have always been there. It's just a warning that a custom os can harm the function of the device.
official / custom can be fixed. Please read the Triangle away post by Chainfire on how to use it.
Added Stock recovery.tar.md5 to use with Odin.

Sent through time and space from my s3mini.
Triangle Away worked like charm on my Galaxy S3 mini. My phone couldn't get past the samsung logo and couldn't get into stock recovery no matter what, so after hours of trying and flashing stock roms, I flashed CWM via odin and I my phone was working again. Afterwards I have purchased Triangle Away and my phone is like new again Thanks Chanfire :good:

Why is step 6 necessary if it is already back to saying official? (I'm new to dealing with samsung's flash counter so I apologize if the answer is obvious)

yes it is neccesary because in download mode it may show SYSTEM STATUS : OFFICIAL but it does not show in settings > about device > status> device status
it will be still modified or custom there so factory reset needs to be done
I did the same thing but stayed rooted with the "Official" Device Status in About settings using mobile ODIN Pro.
Triangle away 1st, I used the latest, 2.88 I believe.
From a rooted device with mobile ODIN Pro installed I factory reset the Note 1st in settings, then using mobile ODIN flashed a stock rom onto the device ticking clear cache/data and clear dalvik cache.
After reset and setup, I'm still rooted with Mobile ODIN Pro & Supersu installed and have 0 counter, Official rom status in download mode on both parts and my About status in settings says official... This took about as long as it takes to flash the stock rom....
2nd picture, 3rd app from the right is SuperSU Pro...

but with my method u dont need to flash stock rom [ correct me if i am wrong ]
You still need to go back to a stock rom. Any custom R0Ms won't do as they use custom recoveries. Besides, I haven't seen many Custom ROM's that Can be flashed by ODIN.
And as soon as you root your tab you increase the flash counter.

Thats 100% correct .
TA + Stock Rom + Factory Reset is my preferred method to clear the three custom firmware indicators .

As of now I am rooted, have a custom firmware and high on android recovery. I want to stay rooted but remove all 3 of the custom status warnings. If I just follow this guide, will I stay rooted? I know I will have to remove my custom rom but I don't mind so it isn't a problem. Based on what ultramag69's post it sounds like I will be able to remain rooted using the guide in the OP.
It's unrelated to what I want to do now (since I want to keep root) but how is this different from unrooting. The steps seem the same. I'm confused about how/if you keep root with this method and how you would go about unrooting in the event of needing to send the tablet in for repairs to samsung.

Because you can't use the Allshare cast hub if you have a custom status in the bootloader section and a raised count.
This has been raised before....
You may want to alter the name of the thread to say for stock roms as this may come up again.
With the method I put forward you will loose your custom rom but you will retain a stock rooted rom with all statuses as "Official" and "0" flash counter. Afterwards you may be able to flash a custom rom but I believe the system status will go back to "Custom" as custom roms install custom recoveries and play around with system files that get scanned after initial boot...
Likewise the thread says how to reset and does not say how to reset stock rom only .

Hello..
Is it safe to have TriangleAway turn off SuperUser for a little (using System modified workaround), to use the phone's software update feature?
Should I also reset flash counter before that?
Thanks a lot.

If ur phone is rooted u have to unroot to get the OTA / update phone
Else flash a firmware using Odin link in my signature
Hi, I just have a quick question, I have the European Unlocked i9505 which is now rooted and has Philz recovery installed, apart from that it is stock (never had cutom rom installed). I want to put it back to 100% stock, so I was going to use triangle away first of all to reset the knox counter, before un-rooting.
My question is once I have reset the counter, when using Kies to update the phone, do I have to un-root and install stock recovery prior to doing an update through Kies or will the Kies update and reset everything automatically, i.e. will it install stock recovery and remove Root on its own..?
Kies is already saying there is an update ready for the phone, but I don't want to anything until I've checked first..?
Cheers for any advice
Check for your Knox counter in download mode. If it is tripped then you wont get OTA or Kies updates.If u want to get on full stock with stock recovery then u ll hav to flash official firmware from samfirmware through Odin. And last upto my knowledge Triangle away wont reset your Knox counter.

Hi,
I'm confused then, because Kies says that there is an update when the phone is connected via usb..?
In download mode the phone says:
Product Name: i9505
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernal Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
eMMC Burst Mode: Enabled
And Triangle Away reports 'Current Status' as:
Counter: 5
Binary: Custom
Device: GT-i9505
System: Modified
So, surely Keis shouldn't offer an update because KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and System is Modified or am I missing something..??

Main Mic Not Working
I'm having a problem with my i9505.
I think my main mic is not working anymore because people can't hear me on regular call but when I switch it to speaker mode the second mic works fine.
I've flashed and reset my phone. And changed the microphone unit including charging port and nothing changed.
what do you suggest me to do?
have you faced such problem with S4?
It is incorrect to say that you won't get an ota with Knox tripped because I had one last week.
Use TA to reset counter then use Odin to flash the latest Stock Rom as identified by Sammoblie. You'll then be official status and the next ota will come automatically

1. If u update ur phone via KIES it update and reset everything less your KNOX. This mean u will have KNOX 0x1 (void warranty) anyway, ur root will dissapear and ur CUSTOM RECOVERY will be replaced for the STOCK RECOVERY
2. If u have rooted ur phone u can install the updates via KIES. You can DOWNLOAD the updates via OTA too, but for install them u have to go STOCK RECOVERY
3. Steps:
- Use Triangle Away and reset ur flash counter for get Official state
- Go to Kies 3 and update ur phone
- Root it and install custom recovery again when finish the process
- Enjoy

This is also an accurate way to upate your phone.
However, I have just reread the OP and you are talking about resetting the Knox Counter. This is not possible at present

Ah I see, and it's the flash counter that lets you or stops you downloading OTA updates..?

It's the modified status and/or a custom recovery

1. If u update ur phone via KIES it update and reset everything less your KNOX. This mean u will have KNOX 0x1 (void warranty) anyway, ur root will dissapear and ur CUSTOM RECOVERY will be replaced for the STOCK RECOVERY
2. If u have rooted ur phone u can install the updates via KIES. You can DOWNLOAD the updates via OTA too, but for install them u have to go STOCK RECOVERY
3. Steps:
- Use Triangle Away and reset ur flash counter for get Official state
- Go to Kies 3 and update ur phone
- Root it and install custom recovery again when finish the process
- Enjoy

Sorry to keep asking questions, I have done Triangle Away now and the counter is 0 and it is official...
So, do I now have to do a 'Full Unroot' using SuperSU before using Kies to update..?
Or is that step not required, shall I just let Keis do its thing and the update will wipe everything including Root and recovery..??
Or is it better to use Odin to flash the I9505XXUEMKF firmware I have downloaded already..?
Basically, I just want the easiest way to get back to stock...
Thanks again

Flash through Odin directly no need to unroot. As you are flashing stock it will automatically clear the root. Just follow the correct steps for flashing. All the best.

All done, flashed back to stock BUT one thing I don't understand is that under Settings/More/About Device/Status it states
that the Device Status is still Custom not Official, why would that be.?? because of Knox Warranty Void being 0x1..??
So I have rooted Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 and I learned that I can' t update my firmware through OTA update it says "Your device has been modifies yada yada yada" So I searched on internet how to unroot and it says first use flash counter TriangleAway and then full unroot from SuperSu option.
I read that TriangleAway will possibly brick my phone so to be sure I predicted the future with a Magic 8 Ball and received the answer "Yes Definitely". Lol
So I am asking should I really need to use TriangleAway in order to update through OTA? Can't I just full unroot and do the OTA without using TriangleAway?
I know that it will appear the yellow triangle but I think after the update it will go away.
Thank you

Before 1 day i unroot my N7100 using TriangleAway 3.1 . This is not the first time i do this . I was as well on 4.3 rooted with custom rom end recovery.
So don't be afraid - Use TriangleAway3.1 to reset the counter,but after it finish don't let the phone reboot normaly.It will ask you to reboot normal or in download mode.Your choice is Download mode and flash immediately stock 4.3 and you are done.After flash wipe data/factory reset and that's it.

What does it mean "flash immediately stock 4.3"? So should I use odin after TriangleAway? Where to find v3.1 on play store is only v3.26?
you dont need to unr0ot just to reset the fash counter
as long as you have stock recovery , using triangleaway will reset the counter and the option for OTA will be available again
if you dont want to use triangleaway you can always download the rom from sammobile and flash via odin

What is stock recovery? I have not installed CWM OR TWRP.
If I use odin will the phone be normal? I mean it will remove root?
