If I use the toolkit to reinstall the factory recovery in place of TWRP --
1. can I do this with the custom rom and still function
2. will it allow the device to return to the original or unmodified state
3. reset the counter using the toolkit or triangle away

Just a beginners guess and any educated guesses or better knowledge would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping that this may work and that if I need to change roms, return to stock, etc. that i could just use Odin and flash the new image or recovery.

I would start by restoring the "stock" kernel. I've read many posts saying it's a non-stock kernel that causes the status to change to "modified." I think a non-stock recovery does too, but Triangle Away can fix this. That is what I am running now. I have mrRobinson's rooted stock rom plus CWM. Having CWM causes the status to be modified, but TA fixes that on boot up. As of now, it can't fix having a non-stock kernel. Good luck.

Works prefect! Flashed with mobile odin and everything went smoothly. Now counter is at 0 and status normal and official everywhere

Did you flash a non stock recovery like cwm or twrp?

1 - Yes, flashing a custom recovery ( CWM or TWRP) will trip counter

2 - If you want to keep stock AND remove junk, your best bet is to use Titanium recovery and freeze away what you don't need. You could even uninstall system files but that may get you a MODIFIED status which is clearly not what you want... Tread carefully thou and make sure you KNOW what you are freezing/removing

Let me know if you need more details... there is a thread I read a while ago about a list of safe apps and services to freeze/remove, I will try to find it for you
