+1 You need to download kies and install the drivers for the epic. You need to probably do more research before you attempt root...

It does that whenever you ODIN flash a kernel that wasn't signed by Samsung. It also increments the ODIN flash count.
If you ODIN flash a stock kernel, the yellow triangle will go away and the I9100 stuff will go back to what it was before. The ODIN flash count will remain the same (ie incremented by 1) but you won't see it during the boot process. If you want to reset that, use a USB jig.
The better way to install CWM is after obtaining root, use Option C in the Auto Root package. This will not trigger the yellow triangle, nor will it increment the ODIN flash count.
You can find the individual kernels in the 2nd post of each of the ODIN links in my signature. You can use any kernel, but for ease, just pick the version that matches what you installed.
Yeah but it just doesnt recognize my computer my phone it sound when i conect it but in my phone it doesnt show me the option to mount storage and in the autoroot doesnt recognize the phone just stills there waiting to recognize it and already have the drivers installed

Are you sure you are flashing the right stuff for your phone and not the GSM Galaxy II stuff. check your pc in the device manager area and see if your phone is being recognized by the pc
Ive reinstalled them twice and well it is recognized as SAMSUNG CDMA Tecnologies and thats all no mount or anything
Also, so you have attampted to boot into download mode, and connect to computer. Does Odin recognize the connection?

Phone NOT BOOTING UP NEED HELP ASAP

So my friend brings me his gsm nexus and is not loading up stays stuck and loading Google screen but does nothing from there..... I asked him what he had done and he said he went into cwm since he was having problems with his phone and decide to format everything on it sdcard/system/ etc etc etc..... I never done something so stupid before lol So I really don't know how to help him...... any way to be able to flash a stock rom maybe via odin ? or stock anything to get the phone to boot up again ? any help is greatly appreciated....... I could boot it up in recovery mode but since sd card is empty I can't restore any roms or any backups since he seem to have deleted them all
well your friend formatted the /system directory so there is no rom on there. of course it wont boot up.
follow this to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
DO NOT USE ODIN.
also, tell your friend to leave the phone stock until he knows what he is doing.

yes as Z said that will fix the OP's phone
his 'friend' rooted his own phone and doesnt know how to fix it so he hands it to soemone else that doesnt know how to fix it? you should point your friend to XDA, its a great resource
I guess if you guys wanna say is me doesn't really bother me.... I use xda to flash and stay up to date with the community I am in no way a developer or claim to know what I am doing.... Just trying to help a friend out or like you guys say me.... Just trying to fix a phone I was the one that rooted the phone for him... Just don't see the big deal..... But hey if it makes you guys happy saying it was me that did it I don't mind no big deal just looking for help thats all.....

Or use a tool kit to download a factory rom and flash it.

[Q] AT&T Note 2 root problem with Odin

Trying to use the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit donated and got the update for 4.1.2 and still having a problem with odin , any help ?
Try Heimdall... it's what I use personally (or have to, as I use Linux).
Heimdall
Instructions should be on that site (I wouldn't know how to use the windows version, heh heh).

Ok, then scroll to the bottom of the page I linked you to. and find the 1.3.1 Windows Suite.
It should come with a readme of some sort, but I wouldn't know.
I can however say that it works just fine for me and might be a good alternative if Odin is failing you.

Does this work the same as the galaxy toolkit ?
I'm actually not sure, as I have never used that tool.
It would be best to ask in the GNote2 Toolkit thread for our device.

Well, im gonna ask a few questions since you gave very limited info.
You are in Download mode correct?
You have verified the drivers installed correctly?
Are you using a USB 3.0 port? Ive seen that cause problems.
Are you using the stock cable?
Just a few things to help solve the issue.

[Q] What means "one click flashing"?

Hi, I am studying android and custom roms...
I found the term, "one click flashing". (I am usually playing in AT&T android development forum. In particular, Ditto Note 3)
What means "one click flashing"?
Waiting for reply.
Thanks.
Have a good day.
The file is downloaded to the pc, is unzipped, and then ran in administrator mode. The phone is booted in download mode and connected to the pc. Then you click 'start' once, and the rom is installed.
What do you mean the file is ran in administrator mode? I assume you are talking about Odin? I am not familiar with Odin very much. I too am wanting to know this in reference to the DN3 rom.
Admin mode is windows 7
How is one click different than a normal flash with Odin? In one click do you still have to select the file into the PDA slot to flash a bootloader? On the Play store there is a mobile Odin. Can I use this to flash a bootloader? I don't have access to a PC so do it the traditional way through Odin is difficult for me.

You don't have to put anything into the PDA slot. The one click works, like your opening a zip file. Once it's open,, Odin would pop up on your PC... Then your phone is put into download mode,, connected to the PC. Hit start wait till it completes...
Done...:thumbup:
As far as MobileOdinPro...
I've heard some people used it to flash...
Just read and know what your doing\flashing using mobile Odin ok...

Okay, you make it sound so easy. I have yet to be able to get Odin to work. I have downloaded countless versions of Odin from xda and when I put the phone in download mode and flash a file in pda slot nothing happens, it says 0 ran, 0 failed. I have downloaded the file several times and still no go. When I use Odin it never shows my model number on the top of the program. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am trying to flash the bootloader to 4.3. Don't know if this matters but I used the heimdal method to root my phone on a Mac, but since no Odin on Mac, I have been using a pc for it.

If you use windows 7 or 8 the drivers are native, so you don't have to do anything.

well yeah i tried various USB ports... I have managed to do something.. although it is still strange..
I downloaded all ODIN versions... as I sais before the 4.42 didnt see my phone... as any other 4xxxx version...
the only versions that did see my phone when connected were: 1.85 - 1.87 and the 3.09, I repeat 4.42 NOT working...
so tried to flash there... but only errors came up for some reason.... I had downloaded some recoveries for the phone so I tried flashing them. That worked. I got a success.
I tried flashing: stockrecovery-DXKT4-odin.tar
cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4+rfs-odin.tar
cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4only-odin.tar
they were all successfully installed but I just cant flash a firmware,,,, :/
Now when the Phone boots up I get the samsung logo and afer that the yellow exclamation mark!
Though I cant boot in any of the recoveries I previously flashed!!
thank you!!

That's not a Gio (S5660) DUDE, That's a Mini 2 (S6500), you need Mini 2 firmware for flashing stock via ODIN (v3.04).
Happy Flashing
P.S: Odin (v4.42) is only for Gio and related models.
