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.
