This is where to get info on that app though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

Chain fire has fixed triangle away for the s4. It will reset your counter to zero if you're on stock rom and stock kernel. If you're not on stock rom and stock kernel the counter will stay at 1.

Can someone answer this? After reading a lot there is something I am still unsure of the definitive answer.... After running TA and returning counter to zero, will the counter be permanently at zero or will it start counting flashes again thereafter?

Idk but it is working properly now. Counter is zero and binary is official. Gotta be on stock ROM and stock kernel. Rooted is okay as well as hotspot mod.

Cool thanks guys I wasnt sure if I was doing sonethi wrong or what

It will reset to zero if you're on stock everything. If you use Odin after you used triangle away and trip the counter again, you ll just have to use triangle away again or select "allow tracker run" which will reset the counter every time you trip the counter.

You have to be on stock recovery for triangle away to work. If you stay on stock recovery after using triangle away it stays at 0. If you ever put a custom recovery on it will stay at one even if you use triangle away.

I'm on oudhs recovery and it reset everything fine, even after reboots. No, I don't have persistent checked either.

I was gonna go into Best Buy today because my dual shot wasn't working but then I factory reset and dual shot started working. So it musta been a mod I installed that caused it to not work, now it's time for some detective work to find the culprit! I did Triangle Away before I did the factory reset and I'm on TWRP and worked perfectly for me!!

Hmm that's good that it stayed reset. I thought it didn't though. Maybe the update fixed it. But that's good though.

Nope.... it was KT SGS4 kernel that was causing the problem. It's a known issue that I didn't know about -__- :banghead: using the 6-10-13 version now and it's fine!

The triangle away warning screens state that you need to be on stock rom and kernel in order for everything to reset as it should. If you don't follow the suggestions of ta, then don't get upset if you don't get the results you were hoping for.

Im not getting upset I have heard of a few people that did the counter reset with custom software and it worked I was going to try that next

Optional fix to a MF3 brick (point of no return)

After just playing around with odin.
I think i have found a fix.
I flashed http://downloads.fairview5.com/i337/I337UCUEMJ6_full_wipe.tar.md5.7z through odin and it went through for the first time.
Then i used the pit file called "SGS-I337_16GB.pit" idk where it is but it's on the forums
Note:This will upgrade your phone to 4.3 and there are no root methods for 4.3 as of right now.Plus there might be some problems with the playstore.(i haven't encounter any yet)
Also remember that you can go to bestbuy and ask them to flash your phone so you can stay on 4.2.2. This is for people who just want to fix it now instead of going to a store.
Credit to jball and rayburne for telling me to put the downsides and other opitions

Cool deal buddy

Yes and it works like a charm.
I still have no clue why it can flash with odin if you're on MF3, regardless i am happy with it as it is the only rom that you can flash (that i know of) if you're on MF3.

Just a word of caution to anybody who wants to try this, there is no root method for it and playstore is having some issues installing some apps.

I'm glad you were able to fix your phone and share with other to help them out, but I feel this title is a little misleading.
Yes you are fixing a soft bricked MF3 phone but the fix is upgrading them to MJ6 4.3. I understand a fixed MJ6 phone is better than a broken MF3 phone but I think it should be mentioned in your instructions. Best Buy is an alternative to fixing your phone and remaining on 4.2.2. Maybe a fix is around the corner for MF3 soft bricks that won't apply to MJ6 devices (yes I agree high unlikely but it should be mentioned this is upgrading the user to 4.3).
Sorry to hear your troubles with Safestrap. I'm on MF3 using SS and not had a problem. I think I have installed most of the 4.2.2 ATT and International Roms without issue. With what you described above about SS, I can only guess that SS has a bug that you encountered that affected your stock slot or you mistakenly wiped or flashed something to your stock slot that hosed your MF3 stock slot. Either way glad you recovered and shared your fix.

Use this older file on odin.

It's said pass so it's complete. Either use the older version hey_joe has posted and untick auto reboot. Or try this way >
Once it's rooted and said pass. Turn the phone off, and try and go into recovery then reboot the device. It should boot into Android.

When you use a custom recovery or a custom kernel you will get that, it's normal, means you aren't using a Samsung signed recovery/kernel. - the custom kernel comes permissive by default.

Like a couple other guys on this thread, I also became a member here purely to say thanks for the fix provided by hey_joe.
If anyone else with the same problem is reading this, just get the Odin version hey_joe posted on the first page.
Remember that you need to go into download mode (Volume Down + Power + Home) again to escape that 3-color, 3-line SEANDROID screen-lockup before you can interface with the older/better version of Odin.
Just adding this comment as it took me a few minutes to understand why Odin couldn't see the phone again. (Why yes, I *am* new to this whole rooting business) ...
All is good now and I confirmed the phone is now rooted with Root Check from Google Play.
Now to delete all this bloatware, specifically the pesky CloudAgent app that kept screwing up my ability to work with the Gallery. The popup "CloudAgent has stopped" has been the bane of my Note 3 existence for the last few days ...

I had exactly same problem on the same device, and you guys saved me !! Thanks a lot!!

I have the same thing but my phone works. It only tells me that it's not enforcing seandroid when I go into recovery. Is that normal or did my recovery not install correctly? I can use it to flash files, do backups and such so I think it's working normally. The only issue is that I coulnd't get TWRP to work, I had to find the apk on my Note 2 and flash CWM Touch to have custom recovery and every time I go to reboot from there it says that it needs to fix my root. I haven't seen anything on it, so if I am in the wrong location please direct me to where I need to go. Rooting and all isn't new to me, been doing it since I got my EVO 4G when it was released, but I am by far no expert. This KNOX crap has me kinda flustered. The root appears to stick, I can use ROM Toolbox and do what I want it to do, root checker says I have root and all, just curious about the seandroid stuff and saw this post.

Help please

So I was trying to help a friend flash stock using Odin because his phone app was being a piece of crap, he was on a CM 11 nightly and, well, long story short I almost bricked his phone not knowing there is a limit on how many times you can flash a Samsung device using Odin because of the yellow triangle. I can't use triangle away because it's the CM ROM on a CM kernel, I was able to get rid of the softbrick by using a older CM ROM on his SD card, this wouldn't be a problem if his phone app was still working, his WiFi was working and if his sound was working, but it's not. So to recap and for the question, Samsung is stupid, and can anyone help?

First thing you have to do for anyone to help you is,provide which build you were on and which stock rom you were trying to flash. There are tons of people here with great knowledge if you can be real specific.

Sorry, Samsung isn't stupid or they wouldn't just magically be a $250+billion dollar company that has been around for 76 years.
Because you jumped in and were unsuccessful with what you were doing doesn't constitute failure on their part.
How about taking that phone - S4 back to bone stock. ALL the answers on how to do that are here. In fact in the last couple days I've personally given instructions on how to do that for a number of people here in the help section. Do some searching and reading and you'll find your answers.
It always helps to come to a manufacture's section and say how sh**y they are. Makes those of us who choose to use and support them feel ever so helpful.

Ok sorry should've been more specific, I'm not new to these forums I was just in a hurry, also seriously guys I'm just frustrated I know Samsung is not stupid you don't have to post their history, they're awesome it's just dumb that they have a limit, and yes if you install the latest stock Sprint update (the one I did before I rooted and rom'd his phone) there wouldn't be a thing such as triangle away. Anyway on Odin it says it passed when flashing stock (the firmware that comes with the phone) but it does it in 4 seconds, and when his phone boots up and it just restores CM, so far everything we've tried either softbricks it or restores CM. Is there anything that completely and I mean completely restores this phone

Where are you getting this idea there is a limit on Odin flashes?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

There is no limit, as mentioned already, with Odin.
I've used it probably a hundred times since I got my S4. I know others have used it more.
Take some time, look through the Q&A/help forum and you'll see some posts I've helped others with, in the last 24hours alone, on how to get back to stock.
Edit:
Okay read this post. It'll get you to stock. Just read the instuctions on how to do it.

Ok I'll try it thanks for tolerating me I can be hard to understand when panicking

Glad you got it working and THANK YOU for posting back - that is what helps the community.
I understand the panic too. Especially when things are f'd up.
But if there is one valuable lesson I've learned in my half century of life; if you can just pause, relax and step back, many problems are easily resolved. And better yet more avoided by haste.
Good luck with the new phone setup.

OK one more quick thing, we flashed it successfully but now it won't boot its been over an hour after we flashed and its stuck on the Sprint logo

You can first boot to stock recovery (power on + volume up) and choose a 'factory reset'. That often clears stuff up pretty well
Or
Try and PC Oding a stock MK2 kernel. Then battery pull and restart after. Saw this on a few phones
I'll have to search to find it but it's here somewhere.

I am having a hell of a time trying to get TWRP recovery installed.. I have a AT&T SGH-I337 4.4.2 stock rom (rooted).
Tried every way thru TWRP manager no dice...
What is the trick????
Ok EDIT:
Found out i can't use TWRP on NC1 will look into safestrap. mod you can close this thread or delete.
Thanks

I'm with ya 100% I was just in a huge rush I needed to get this phone fixed fast and get it back to my sister and brother in law. I would have never done it otherwise.
I tried to update all the posts accordingly, I will make sure they are showing that I have solved the issue.
Thanks,
