Originally posted on xda-developers.com however I want others to know about it so figured I'd share it here.
Something from AndroidAuthority- http://www.androidau...-counter-128502

This is a single recovery flashed file restore to UNROOTED STOCK with STOCK KERNEL, STOCK RECOVERY, MODEM, and Normal System Status with a Flash Counter at 0. Basically a replacement for the odin tar method for a quick on-the-go restore. This is the go-to file for a last minute trip to the sprint store or for unbricking without the need for a pc or ODIN. This will do what odin does with the addition of resetting the flash count during flash. These are odexed as that is what your stock rom is. To keep a customization recovery, flash one from below after rom flash but before rebooting into the system. To keep root access flash team epics root from recovery (included below) after flash before rebooting into system. If you are manually resetting your flash count with triangle away, do it prior to flashing this as root access will be gone when finished.
As with just about any rom you'll find posted on these forums, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK as I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone.

Thanks! It worked!
"Device status: normal" means flash count = 0, right?
