MODS, Please move this if I posted it in the wrong section, however .. most people that flash ROM's will find this EXTREMELY useful.
I don't know how many of us missed this, and the fact that many people are showing HUGE concerns about there Counters on there SGS3's are growing (like me) .. I found a posting by a great guy on here that many of you know .. Chainfire .. he has created an application called TriangleAway v1.80 .. this application will reset your counters back to "0" ZERO .. mind you, you do have to be rooted in order to do this. I have tried this app, and can confirm that it does indeed do as it states. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE ENTIRE OP FROM CHAINFIRE TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THIS WORKS AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES.
Here is the link to the ORIGINAL application thread:

YES .. I have .. look at my signature !! Screenshot attached shows "0" .. I should have posted what it said before I did the reset .. my counter was at 32 !!
Works perfectly. Counter reset has been available for over a week now, but you had to search a little to find it. I've already reset 2 phones with it.

I assume this is a typo on chainfire and can be flashed without issue.
Also does this reset and keep it at 0 or just reset it and when you flash again it starts counting.

so if i use triangle away and then flash something after resetting it will go to 1?
If so then we need to reset after every firmware just in case something happens.

Counter is going to be tripped if you're using ODIN but flashing through CWM/TWRP does not increase your counter.

Works great..took my Pebble Blue SGSIII back to AT&T today to pick up the Garnet Red version.. my other was rooted .. custom ROM installed .. reset my counter, ODIN with official UCLG1 .. put phone back in download mode, verified NO counter listing.. and in Settings, About Phone, Status was labelled as Normal (which was labelled Modified before).

It just resets it. However once you get an alternate recovery or mobile ODIN and use that for flashing non stock roms, you will not increment the counter. It is the act of flashing a non official rom, using odin from a pc, that causes the counter to increment.

Here's a video tutorial for how to root T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999, specifically for T-Mobile.
For T-Mobile, you will have to get into CWM recovery by holding down Volume Up + Center + Power button, then let go of Power button upon reset, a small difference between other U.S. Galaxy S3s but I see most people are having trouble with just getting into recovery after flashing with ODIN so here's a noob-proof video:

Title typo.
did you all have to download samsung kies to do this as well? cause it's not showing up, and i don't really wanna have to download kies if there's a way around it.
I didn't download Kies...did this on my work computer which definitely has never had any Samsung phone software on it.
It's running Windows 7 64-bit Professional if that helps.
my home desktop (Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate) didn't need it either - just tested now. All I installed on both machines were the normal USB drivers.
Zedomax is the [email protected]?$_!(/=?N' Man!!!
i get up to where I click on PDA, select the clockwork.tar file, hit start, and it does nothing... Any ideas?

This is the bone stock file that. Ame loaded on the phone. These will fix most problems people run in to. They have the modem, system, bootloader, and cache.

Yup, just like an RUU. It won't really have anything to do with multiview, but with the files available, devs can get a little more creative and try new things without worrying about having no way to bring the phone back if they mess up. So that could potentially get people working on multiview.

Yes, you will trip the Knox flag, currently no method to reset it. TWRP is fine, just do some reading about restoring backups.. If done incorrectly, you will experience what's been coined "The Brickloop"

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.
My response to you was a gentle reminder that reading is a good thing.

The fact that you took all this time to write all that and ridicule me is ridiculous when it would have been easier for you to have just been nice and post the link like the last guy did. .. Sorry I didn't see it however easy it was, but that's why we are here to help one another. ..so please next time either don't comment at all and let someone else who wants to help, help, or just help someone out. ..It goes a long way and makes this place more civil. ..

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

No problem. .. Just to let you know that thread doesn't show up in my app which I always use.. It only showed up on my computer. .. That's why I didn't see it. ..
After I rooted the system it said modified and ota wouldn't work. .. so I installed xposed framework and then wanam xposed module and there is a setting to set system to original and that works for ota...

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..
