Verizon Trip Counter?

[Taxmaster]

Hello all,

I am rooted and have been flashing pribably 6 different ROMs so far without issue. I've been reading threads where others have been talking about "trip counters" and the "yellow triangle". Am I missing or forgetting about something important?

Sincerely,

Taxmaster

They're talking about flashing unapproved .odin images that trip the flash counter you're flashing stuff with CWM or TWRP.

I'm normally not anal about this, but did you forget a period between "flash counter" and "you're" ? I don't know if you meant to put one there but I'm confused about what you're saying at any rate.

I am using TWRP only to flash ROM's. the only time I used ODIN was when I did a stock flash to the original ROM post unlocking the bootloader.

I'm not and expert on this but what he was saying was that flashing a ROM with TWRP or CWM shouldn't trip the flash counter. I have flashed several ROMs and I haven't had mine tripped yet. If you flash an unauthorized image via ODIN you will more than likely trip the counter and from all that I've read you shouldn't flash with ODIN once you're on an unlocked bootloader unless you want to go back to stock and locked

If this info is wrong please feel free to correct me.

Can someone confirm this?

That is how I understand it. As adam posted only use odin to return to stock. Do all your flashing with twrp. Also if you ever had to reset the counter triangle away app from chainfire can do that no for us.
