A while back, I discovered that using a download jig works to reset the flash counter on the apache. This should also hold true for the ancora, since the boards are practically the same (my thought is that the bootloaders are too).

To reset flash counter:
1. Build/purchase a 301k ohm download jig (pic of my personal one to come later)

2. Shut device down and insert jig into USB port

3. At this point, the device will boot into "Factory Mode"

4. Reboot from here (ROM, Recovery, Download). The next time you use "Odin Mode", you'll note that the flash counter says 0 flashes and notes a Samsung Stock kernel binary.

Man,seriously,our Ancora doesn't have flash counter.
There's only the sentence but it's a "fake" flash counter.
