Man I don't know what to say

At first i was scared to try this and while doing steps 7-10 it was really scary

But once it finished, and the display came back on...it was great

It WORKS!!!!

Thanks a lot buddy

only hope there can be a update for this which will include the screen not going blank and we all doing this procedure in the dark...

Cheers buddy great job...

Just ordered the jig ill need for resetting my counter. But im reading it will not work on firmwares over 2.3.4?
Does that mean i have to install a 2.3.4 rom, fix with jig, then flash factory rom?
Just found my factory rom posted. Or can i install my factory rom 2.3.6 and fix the counter with the jig method and it will reset me to stock and be good for warrenty return, (knock on wood).

Try to do this in Windows XP or 7 at VMware for Mac.

As far as I know it will only work up to 2.3.4

But im reading it will not work on firmwares over 2.3.4?
No. Look at the name of the thread.
You can do it with any firmware.
Should work even at 4.0 ICS.

I have a jig that works with my SGS, but it doesn't "appear" to work with my Note
All USB-jigs are the same and all of them compatible.

Before I try it : What can we do if we face problems while the screen is black to get the phone back working? ;)

    100% works for all Gingerbread, ICS and JellyBean ROMs TouchWiz Stock/Custom and AOSP/AOKP.
    Works with new ICS and JB (4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.1 and 4.1.2) ROMs
    Italian translate by Willy89

    1) You need a JIG. You can buy it or create its own
    24b9pxd.jpg

    2) Download attached zip archive and extract it to some folder
    3) Reboot you device in download mode - turn it off, than hold volume down + center button + power button. Wait for the warning message and press volume up
    4) Plug it to you PC
    5) Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '1.tar' file for PDA flash. You must get the same settings:

    6) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing
    7) After reboot you should get black and dead screen. Unplug USB from PC. Long press power button (15-20 seconds). Remove battery for 5 seconds, plug in JIG, put battery back. Wait for 40 seconds, press power button for 5 seconds, remove JIG, long press power button (15-20 seconds), remove battery
    8) Put battery back, hold volume down + center button + power button for 10-15 seconds, press volume up, plug it to you PC
    9)
    If you have GingerBread ROM TW stock/custom (Android 2.3.X) or any ICS and JB AOSP/AOKP (MIUI, Cyanogen, Paranoid and others) your step is:
    Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '2.tar' file for PDA flash
    If you have TW stock/custom ICS/JB ROM (Android 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2) your step is:
    Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '2-ZSLPF.tar' file for BOOTLOADER flash
    10) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing

    At points 7-10 the screen will not work!

    After these steps you will get:
    - No yellow triangle
    - Custom binary download value will set to 'NO'
    - Current binary value will set to 'SAMSUNG OFFICIAL'


    FAQ

    Will it work for new stock gingerbread, ics, custom, cyanogen, miui and other firmware?
    All gingerbread ROMs and ICS except CLP5 and CLP6 (some users report about incompatibility). Better don't use this reset counter instruction if you have those ICS ROMs.

    Do I need root for this?
    No.

    Does not work, yellow triangle is not disappeared!
    Carefully follow all 10 points of instruction.

    I am having trouble, black screen after a 10th point!
    Try reboot your device. Remove battery for 10 seconds and plug it back.

    Odin can't recognize USB plug at 4 or 8 point. + Windows can't detect device or identifies as "Unknown device".
    Try another USB port. Try reinstall kies or remove it and install only galaxy note drivers (link1, link2). If not helped try another PC.

    Will this work on the Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Nexus?
    No! You will break your phone. Works and tested for GT-N7000 and GT-I9220.

    Will this work on the SGH-I717 (AT&T)?
    Not tested yet.

    Will I have a problem with a warranty? Can they identify the use of this counter reset?
    There is absolutely no chance to detect this binary reset at service center.

    Does it clear counter as well ?
    Yes, mine at zero with custom firmware.

    hi,
    why in the zip there 2 files ?
    1.tar
    2.tar
    tks for reply mate
    Please read my instruction in first post carefully

    does that mean we can keep our gnote in warranty?
    Yes! :)

    If I understand this correctly, tar 2 is the newer bootloader again.

    Yes this is correct. Your Galaxy Note bootloader returned after this procedure.

    jscurtu, there is absolutely no chance to detect this binary reset at service center!

    1. After doing this procedure, do we lose root and CWM? If so, How do we get them back? zergrush?

    2. I have a jig that works with my SGS, but it doesn't "appear" to work with my Note. Is there any way to tell if it actually works before I start flashing foreign bootloaders? :D

    TIA!

    1. No.
    2. If it works with SGS it must works with Note.
