[Q] So I wasn't paying attention closely enough and I had phone selected when i flash cwm rogue recovery/kernel. Not I get a yellow triangle during the Samsung Galaxy S II screen and my radio seems borked cause it's got a big zero through where the signals bar and 3g is. Tried a few things with not much luck. Any Ideas? Thanks
Update: So I reflashed the autoroot, didn't help, but after I did a full wipe and flashed to another rom, I booted and saw the yellow triangle, however this time I had working radio/modem. In my haste I also realized I flashed to the bootloader as well which I assume is the cause of my yellow triangle. Not sure about the triangle but seems to be back to normal otherwise.
Odin a stock Rom, start it up and update prl and profile, then Odin a custom Rom. Did the same thing when I first rooted... Hope this helps !
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy S II
Thanks, just saw this, downloading stock .tar gonna see if that fixes my triangle problems.
the yellow triangle is from flashing unsigned roms. I believe there is a thread on how to remove it in dev section. or like me you can grab a jig off ebay and reset it.
To be more specific, if you odin flash a kernel not signed by samsung (ie any kernel with cwm or any recompiled kernel) you'll get the yellow triangle.
Flashing roms will not trigger the yellow triangle, only kernels.
To get rid of the yellow triangle you can odin flash a stock kernel using any of the odin links in my signature. See the 2nd post fora download for just the kernel by itself.
Alternately, if you use the auto root sticky and install a stock kernel, the yellow triangle will go away, the you can use the same package to install cwm, and it won't trigger the yellow triangle.
Is there a reason why people are still using Odin? Seems pointless to me.

It is the easiest way to flash multiple components and it works even if your android won't boot. Personally i appreciate having a failsafe in case some flash goes bad and you can't get into cwm.

Anyone else notice this? Once I installed the stock kernel packaged with CWM my boot image changed from the regular "Samsung Galaxy S II" to the Galaxy S II i9100 boot image (listed as logo.jpg in /mnt/.lfs). Is there a way to get back the original one without wiping CWM? Also any idea when well get CWM that's not kernel dependent?
Is there a yellow triangle under it

If you use a jig it will remove the yellow triangle and the i-9100.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch
No, well yes but I know about that. The actual image says "Samsung Galaxy S II GT I9100". I know about the yellow triangle but does the boot image change also? I thought the only change was the yellow triangle appearing?
No that also changes when you root

Do the yellow triangle fix and it will go back to stock boot image

I just switched back to the stock kernel for now with no CWM. The soft brick everyone got from updating with chris41g's kernel kind of forced my hand. No yellow triangle and back to the stock boot image for now.

Well now go buy a jig so when you do reflash a kernel you can get rid of the triangle and the gt i-9100. I'm on Chris' older version of the stock kernel with cwm and the jig got rid of both the yellow triangle and the gt i-9100. You can get them on eBay from an American seller for about 5-7 bucks, cheaper if it ships from Hong Kong

what about chris' proof of concept yellow triangle removing process. Why would you buy a jig if you can do that one time and flash away in CWM. Please explain to me a noob to Samsung the benefits of a jig over a 5 minute process... thx

I would actually like to know this too. Coming from HTC, using a JIG is generally something you never hear of. I know if you have a TRUE brick, using a JIG can recover it but other than that does it really have a use?

It also resets the binary counter to 0. So it appears like you never flashed a custom rom or kernel. Of you go into download mode it keeps a count of how many times the phone has been flashed. This sets it to 0 so even if you have a custom rom or kernel it appears as if you never flashed a thing. So the jig not only removes the yellow triangle and gt i-9100 it also resets the flash counter

I'll probably get one then. It seems they're more useful with Samsung phones than HTC, seen quite a few threads related to using one with them anyway.
So I've been messing with all the new ICS builds coming out and more specifically, using the Steady Hawkins kernels.
I still don't think ICS is ready for prime-time so I've done a restore, a few times, to my current Calk 2.9.2, FC05 modem, 1.5 Hitman EL29 kernel. My yellow triangle is now gone.
In short, give this a shot and see if it works for you:
- get one of Steady Hawkins ICS based kernels in zip format
- go into CWM and do a nandroid backup
- install the SH ICS kernel
- reboot to CWM and restore from nandroid backup
I've also messed with the stock rooted ROMS, so that may also have done it. If the above steps don't work then try this:
- get a stock rooted ICS based ROM AND get one of Steady Hawkins ICS based kernels in TAR format
- go into CWM and do a nandroid backup
- install the stock rooted ICS ROM and reboot
- reboot to odin recovery and flash the SH ICS kernel
- reboot into CWM and do a nandroid restore
As I've mentioned, I'm back to a restore of calks 2.9.2 w/FC05 modem and SH's Hitman EL29 kernel and NO TRIANGLE!
If you brick, don't blame me!
good luck!
This might work but you could just use the triangle away app in the market. It resets your Odin counter and gets rid of the yellow triangle, although I think it might only be for ics based roms.

didn't know something like that existed, just noticed this was a fairly simple solution, for me at least.
Yup, very useful app. In the market, just search for "triangle away" by chainfire.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
umm...couldn't find it.
No prob, then just go to mijjz ics the goodness rom. In the second post he has a dl link for the triangle away apk. Just dl from there and install

Here's the link for detailed instruction -
http://shetalksandroid.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-reset-sgs2-flash-counter-and.html
Also, it seems like the current version is v1.25 instead of 1.1.
I followed this instruction and my counter went back to 0.
Be sure that it only supports ICS ROM only. Once you reset the counter, you can install whatever rom you want.
To download, use the download link from the above linked website. It will send it back to XDA forum attachment. Anyway, this link or attachment could be disappeared anytime soon because it costs $2 in the market.
Direct link to Triangle Away v1.25 -

I can confirm triangle away app worked well for me... used it several leaks ago (don't remember now which one... it was with one of the fairly early full stock rom tars).

In this link, Triangle away version is still v1.1. To whom want to use most recent version, you may use the link that I posted in this thread.

Hadn't ever heard of this ... just used and it worked perfect, triangle gone and flash counter reset to 0
Looks like we don't need the jig anymore
best way to go, works every time apk triangle away

As Chainfire says in the post for Triangle Away, I would still use your jig if you have one. While the chance looks to be very small, Triangle Away can hard brick your phone.

Triangle Away worked perfectly for me with no jig on VeNuM ICE Rom.
Jig 2-6 dollars on ebay. Works if the phone wont boot rom I am thinking jig as well. Helps with soft brick
Ok I want to get this straight before I flash CM9, after I flash it I will supposedly get a yellow triangle correct? To remove this triangle will it go away if I use sfhub's stock restore and then flash the GB rom of my choice? Will the triangle only apperar when I flash an ICS rom thanks!

If you use sfhub's stock restore, it shouldn't trigger the yellow triangle. There's a few threads that talk about the whole triangle thing.
I haven't tried CM9, but I am on a Beta ICS which did not trigger the triangle. I previously used a USB Jig and it worked fine, but might not work with CM9 so I believe people have been using an application called "Triangle away" or something, but it can brick your phone as I remember reading.
Search around to be exact, since I may be wrong.
Or u can use the triangle away apk from chain fire. Its on the second post in mijjz the goodness ics rom thread.

The triangle is only triggered when you flash a custom kernel. So if the ROM you are flashing has a custom kernal packaged with it, then you will get the triangle.
The easiest way to get rid of it is the jig. However, the jig stopped working after EG31, so if you want to use it, you need to revert the bootloader...

No it's only a non stock kernel in Odin .... Not through recovery or mobile Odin....I have cm9 with no triangle but really don't matter is just a triangle who cares ....use triangle away app if you don't want it

I've used the Jig after EG31 and it worked perfectly.. As for ICS, I have not tried since I never got the triangle, but it's been said that it will not work.

The boot loader @fter ek02 is what it won't work with but sfhub put the older boot loader in some of his tar

notice before i begin i will say the usual things
do this at YOUR own risk i am NOT responsible for anything that happens to you...
now lets begin...
this has been tested to work with EL26 CWM kernel, flashing the EL26 CWM kernel(with odin)(increases download count and triggers the yellow triangle), and any STOCK FE## (im sure it works on any STOCK kernel)
Code:
1.) download a STOCK kernel and the EL26 CWM kernel
2.) flash the EL26 kernel (with odin)(increase download count and triggers the yellow triangle)
3.)[I]flash anything that you plan to flash now[/I]
4.) flash a STOCK kernel
5.) reboot (it should take ~7 seconds longer for the splash screen to show up)
there the yellow triangle will be gone (sorry but your download count will be the same)
**note: if the STOCK kernel isnt the last thing flashed before rebooting then it wont work** (hence the reason for step 3)
youre kidding right?
So stock kernels remove the triangle???
is this the twilight zone...
remind me why i come to general again?

is the OPs way of doing it incorrect? i have the yellow triangle. im just trying to stay on el29 but i dont know how to remove the triangle at boot. i would like some help if possible
There is a post 3 or 4 down from this asking that question... also multiple post in development in how to actually keep recovery and lose the triangle..
Quickest way.. triangleaway application on the market. Or a USB jig.. or the method I made when the phone first came out. Or sfhubs auto root. Which is more refined.

I was wondering the same thing. Didn't you make a thread how to do this back in November?
ok i have a sprint 4gET flashed to cricket.. running Team Acheron's "Touched by an S4" (Awesome) after checking out some of the new roms coming out I decided to flash a few and check out the new cm10.1.3 and the jb4.3 systems... I am familiar with the procedures for flashing jb, ics roms and follow op directions to a t everytime..but today after losing data cable connections twice on an odin install my phone would not respond... after leaving batt and sd card out of phone for 2 hrs I was finally able to set phone into download mode.. flashed directboot recovery by cwm wich cot me to my sd card to reflash my trusty touched by an s4 rom but now when it boots up my samsung screen displays a totally diffferent model.. it says Samsung Sll GT-i9100 but in settings it still says sph-d710... how on earth did that happen and how can i change it...
Install and run triangle away from chainfire paid on play store or free from xda. It's what happens when you use Odin to install non official firmware

Not true in all cases^^
some of the direct boot Odin & Mobile Odin files (EL26 or EL29) were originally made from the international phone source and when the kernal is flashed it will reflect the i9100 on boot up. This is normal if your phone is working properly. You can also one-click back to EL26 stock to get rid of it, but then you have to go through the process of re-formatting the partition.
If it is working fine, I would use Triangle Away. If not, you will probably need to start over with a one-click exe.
