Flash ticker

---

On the TMO GS3, and all this discussion about the Flash ticker, so let me understand that having 1 on the ticker voids warranty? Also, does it get to a certain number and shut the phone down? If I am not worried about the warranty, I should be able to flash many times correct?
Also, does rooting from Odin, count as a tick?

Depends on the script. It reacts to altered binary scripts, I think. Technically your warranty would be void if there's a number other than zero there. You can use triangle away by chainfire to reset the counter. On stock Roms, it should also change the status back from "modified."

it never shuts the phone off. It is just so they can refuse to honor warranty repairs if they want.

Triangle away (an app from the playstore) can reset the counter, now

You can flash all you want

Unfortunately it does not change the status from Modified. Chainfire's notes on the app say that is outside the scope of triangle away.

To get rid of the Modified status you have to ODIN to stock, from what I have read.

^^^^^ you're saying if we odin to stock, then download "triangle away" on the stock rom, and that'll take off the 'modified' and it will drop the ticker down to zero? then we can delete the triangle away app, right?

I am running stock rooted and after few days of root the status changed itself from modified to normal! I didn't initially believe someone on the forum when he said it will automatically change back

Has anyone tried the usbjig? I just can't seeing the software doing a permanent fix.

The usb jig just forces the phone into download mode. If you are worried about the counter, use triangle away and then Odin a stock ROM. Stock items do not trip the counter.
