HOW TO -- Reset Binary Conter to 0

hi @all
follow instruction to reset the binary counter:
before you start, you need a actually gnote rom and you need usb jig!! if you not have a jig, dont try this!!!! im not responsible if you brick your phone!!
1. download a sgs2 bootloader(search in sgs2 forum --> bootloader)
2. flash it over odin as pda
3. put the battery out
4. put the battery in and connect the usb jig
5. connect your phone with pc
6. flash the rom via odin as pda
7. when is done, disconnect the phone from pc and remove the jig
8. put the battery out and again in
9. connect your phone whit the pc over the normal usb connector, flashed rom will start with the update, phone reboot self ---> finish
dont ask me, dont look for support, im not developer, i only wrote down what i do and how i reset the counter to 0..
many thanks at bodivas, hi was the first one who try this, and i can confirm it, it works..
with my jig i can't connect the note to the pc, just the jig. .. how is your jig? a picture or a link to buy it?
thanks

here a link in ebay.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-i...aCables_JN&hash=item35b3d8fd9c#ht_1429wt_1139
but, if you put the jig in, the phone sould start whit download mode.. normally i do that whit sgs2, you can disconnect the jig and connect the phone whit the normal usb cable.. phone stay in download mode, and you can flash..
you can try it out before you flash the bootloader.. but i cant give you warranty for that..
I have already rebuilt procedure 3 times and all ok..
Guide:
1. flash over Odin as Pda Bootloader_GS2.tar
2. put the battery out
3. put the battery in and connect the usb jig ( approximately 10 seconds)
4. connect your phone with pc and flash via Odin as Pda Bootloader_N7000.tar..
If your phone does not start, remove and reinsert the battery..
files for Odin:
Sbl.bin from SGS2:
View attachment Bootloader_GS2.rar
Sbl.bin from Note:
View attachment Bootloader_N7000.rar
Unpack these files,before flashing ..

:O £1.03 delivered!
Thats ridiculous! Ive ordered one!
I wonder where it's shipped from and how much that costs?!
How do you read the value of the counter?
In step 6, do you flash the original GNote sbl?
Step 7 is confusing - it says to remove the jig, but the jig was not in, because we were connected to the computer for Odin ???

Yes., and then you just restart the phone..Stop!!!
DealExtreme is not the cheapest, just the one with best prices/spread relationship.
I paid my jig 0.80€ shipped off a random chinese seller on ebay
did anyone else tried this? this thread seems to be eating dust!!! any problem with this mod?
hmmmmm
LMAO, not so sure id be wanting to try these steps, i think ya need to spend less time worrying about the counters and more time enjoying ya phone, im sure a safer method will emerge in time.

I tried and it didn't work for me, but I was not on JK4 to start (maybe that's required). Nothing bad happened though.

You could flash a rooted ics build. Then run triangleaway. Then reflash gingerbread from cwm. Thats what i did. Now have 0 again and no triangle

Hey there! Before flashing STOCK ROM. Make sure you have a back-up first. (Just in case) Then, make sure the USB Debbugging Mode is enabled in your SGY. Install USB Drivers to your PC and the firmware package for your country/region. Then put your phone in download mode by pressing the combo buttons simultaneously. Power+VolumeDown+Home. Just follow the steps on how to unbrick sgy. Google it. I know you can
Press Thanks please if I helped you :good:

[Q] Help please!

Hi all,
I have an I9505 from O2 and I was in Odin mid-flash throwing on Philz Touch when the cable got disconnected (kids) and now I'm getting an error on my phone I can't seem to undo. It's showing me a screen as soon as it begins to boot that reads "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery modde in Kies and try again.". I've tried running Kies as it suggests and my computer doesn't even register the phone connecting to begin with let alone Kies noticing the connection. I've tried to go into recovery mode (vol up + power) but it just gives me the same message. Please tell me I didn't brick this thing... is there any voodoo I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help you can give.

Can you still get in download mode? You may need to flash the whole firmware again then flash the recovery after. I've had the same problem on an s2 in the past with my son pulling the cable halfway through

Would a USB jig work?
You have to boot to download mode and install full firmware through Odin.
You can download your carriers firmware from Sammobile.com

Strike that, it worked! I've been at this for hours with no luck but I guess the phone gods are now in my favour. Unfortunately when I try to flash with Odin, I get failure messages and my phone stays in the Downloading part. Any advise?

Aslong as odin says fail or pass and you definitely do not have a progress bar on your phone after odin shows the result then you will be safe to unplug amd reboot the phone manually. If it passes on odin it usually reboots itself

Are entering recovery from total shutdown and pressing buttons or using the restart to download mode?
I had similar problem and turns out odin flashing don't work when you use restart to download mode.

Not a hard brick you're just soft brick.
You need to try connect your phone proper again so it can communicate with kies
