Thank you so much for this!! I was wondering just today if this was possible yet. It is nice to see it all in one place!

So does triangle away work to clear the binary? I know knox is undoable as of now, but wondering about the other counters.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Thanx:thumbup:
As far as the triangle away working, I actually haven't ran it in awhile. Flashing much all the time:).
But last time I used it, was on my TMO GN2 after I Odin back to stock.
But I'm getting ready to clean out my phone soon. So I'll test it and see if it works...:confused:

Thanks for the great step by step! I have one question just for clarification before proceeding on my wifes phone. Can I flash any rom or am I stuck with only 4.3 based roms? My wife absolutely hates all changes in the stock 4.3 update and wants back to the 4.1 she was on before.
