Question [Q] Resetting Binary Counters GT-19100G

I've a Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100G. Now, I want to replace it.
  • I've unrooted it.
  • I've bought the USB JIG for GT-19100.
  • Now, I used that jig to reset that counters (3 for me) but it doesn't work - It do proceeds to the Download Mode but doesn't do anything.

Now, my doubts are:
  • WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I DO TO REPLACE IT?
  • Does the USB JIG is different for the G variant?
  • Do I need to root first?
  • Is there anyone with the I9100G who has reset the binary counters?

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT
What to do now!

Information about my Indian I9100G:

Model Number: GT-I9100G
Android Version: 2.3.6

Firmware Versions:
PDA: I9100GXWLA1

Its weird that the jig doesn't work. My best bet is that you should flash an ics rom and then use chainfires triangle away app to clear the binary.

Thumbs up I've found the solution

Thanks for trying to help me.

But for guys who are experiencing problems in resetting binary counters, here is the SOLUTION

Removing Binary Counter using USB Jig
  • Binary can only be removed using USB Jig which can be bought from online shop or local shop if applicable
  • So far only old bootloader (KJ2 and lower) can be used for removing binary binary counter
  • If running newer than KJ2, for example KL3 and above, you need to flash back the old bootloader for the USB Jig to work again
  • Normally, to use USB Jig, just turn off the phone and plug the USB jig. Done
  • Download the attached i9100g-reset-binary-counter.zip and extract to get tar file. Password : mahadirlab-reset-b001 (Credit to Mahadir Ahmad)
  • Using Odin, just replace the PDA file with this provided tar file
  • Do not use PIT file and start the flashing
  • Now you can use the USB Jig just like mentioned above

Thanks Mate > Your advice did worked successfully Without using USB JIG .

Method : i9100GXXLSR Rom ( Sammobile ) 4.1.2 Stock

: Rooted with SU-BB-Installer.zip ( rooting process follow asper instructions available )

Updated trangle away .apk (Ver. 2.90) download and install

Run Trangle away > Done

We can revert back 4.1.2 stock binary once again to make it factory default handset , There no More Custom binary count !


Thanks
