non-odin root and rom counter reset?

So where are we for a non-odin root for 2.3.6? It took only hours after this device was released for one click rooting proc to be posted.

Why is there no custom ROM counter reset proc? The counter was modified with a bootloader change on the GS II. Unfortunately this device was released with that same fix but I kind of expected someone to "fix" that...

If you don't mind me asking - what are the negative effects of a custom binary download counter?

oh we know what needs to be done. Someone has to crack the low level bootloader code onROMs. Over there that have a non-hardened ROM and a hardened ROM. It is simply a matter of flashing the non-hardened bootloader then using a jig. Over here we have no non-hardened ROM to extract the bootloader code from. That said is why the code itself has to be cracked and compared to see how they shut it down...

If I knew how to do any of that, I would have done it and posted a solution. I know there are those here on XDA that do, it is just a matter of peeking their interest.

where is it....

I wonder if the jig for the S II will do the same for the skyrocket since they are similar.

If we had a non-hardened bootloader, yes I suspect it would. As for now, no it will not.
