Still have yellow triangle - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So I have flashed the newest ics ROM and have reflashed everything twice and still the yellow triangle... Any suggestions ?

The only way to get rid of the triangle is to use a jig or download the app triangle away. Installing a new rom wont fix it...

That's weird because I flashed the exact same ROM on my girls phone and she doesn't have it... Not saying you're wrong but I've flashed other ics roms before and it had gone away

Official Samsung kernels will not display the triangle.
What's the question?

If you use sfhubs one click Odin for future flashing, there will be no triangle. Every time I flash one of these leaks I use 1 click to go back to el29, add rogue recovery, and flash my ics from there. I don't ever get the triangle back, and the process to do it is super easy. You can even back up your current setup and restore it after you use the 1 click. Or use the app, but if you're flashing a new ROM, 1 click insures a clean install, keeps the bugs away.

Would Rerooting help?

So somehow someway my phone is on the "Galaxy S 2 Yellow triangle with exclamation mark" screen and wont boot up.
I simply wiped factory reset, and dalvik ( coming from Caulks Rom ) and then flashed Blazer Rom 3.7 and it never went past that screen.
My question is can i simply re root on my mac and would my phone go back to stock rooted OS? Or do I have to restore it through Odin?
Note I did backup my previous rom!
Sorry forgot to mention I cant access recovery either! I hold down volume up and power and nothing just stays on the yellow triangle screen...

Get calks format all ...flash it and then go to advanced and wipe system and then flash new ROM .... If it still doesn't work check md5 on the ROM that it's a good download if it's not redownload and flash ....you can always restore your back up

I would definitely recommend going this route. Follow the instructions in this thread it will help you to install ACS (CWM) Recovery.

for future reference recovery is volume Up + power. not down.
From the sounds of it id say you may need to flash more than the kernal I was in a similar situation where my recovery wouldnt work and I couldnt boot into the rom and I had to flash back to stock through Odin to get it working again. Then after that I re rooted and flashed a rom.

Im not sure, when it happened to me there wasnt a way. Its really simple though I mean when I did it I was back up and running, rerooted, and running a rom in about 10 minutes if that.
This is the file you would need to flash the stock tar file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634 this is what I used then after I just re rooted.

Yes but instead of ODIN you'll use Heimdall. There's a guide in the link below.

I've been in this situation before, you have a bad flash.... you have to odin back to stock redownlaod the rom you installed and try again... the yellow triangle will probably still be there but the phone will boot. i bought a jig to get rid of my yellow triangle (It really bothered me and the jig was like a buck)

Yes that guide is for rooting but you can flash ROM's with Heimdall too. Just do a Google search for it and you'll see. Either that or find yourself a windows box and ODIN a rooted ROM with clockwork recovery and then restore your backup.

I think Calk has a zip file in his new thread pertaining to using the USB jig
Edit: My bad was on wrong page I see it was already posted
supposedly, its the "newer" roms that don't let you do this; if I flash back to something "older", like Strong Steve or something like that, I wonder if the jig would work again?

its been so long since I did it, I forgot the last rom it worked on..
This new white e4gt is really nice looking; glad my wife took my "used" black e4gt so I could have this shiny white new one!
Oh well, its not that big of a deal, and, eventually, once all these "leaked" roms are finished, and we have a "release" version, I am sure someone will figure out a way to get rid of it again..
It isn't the newer roms, it is the newer bootloader.
If you use the fb17 odin one-click in my sig you won't have that issue.

thanks for this man, I have a perfect cm9 a3.1 setup now, so I would hate to dump that right now..
Since I am an all osx house, can i just download mobile odin pro, and load it up into that and flash it, once I decide to take this plunge, or, is it smarted to follow the osx/heimndall instructions?
I guess your answer depends on whether or not you are a osx guy, or widows guy.

[Q] yellow triangle

it there anyway to remove the yellow download? without odin or a usb jig. so like an app that works on gingerbread(EL29)
There is a proof of concept thread in the dev section that's supposed to work. It's worked for others but it never would for me. Oh and yes you will still need things like Odin and the like. Also the only real way to do it via a App is TriangleAway and it's only for ICS based roms.

Triangle Away
The current FC18 ICS leak is a very good right now. I've been trying all the releases and FC18 is about complete as i can tell. I would not be afraid to recomend just flashing a FC18 rom and staying with it. That also lets you use the Triangle Away app that's in the Market. If you search around i belive the developer has it posted for free on XDA. I have used the app and it works just fine.
The best way I can figure,
First of course, make a full Backup to flash back to at the end of this so you can keep all your settings.
Follow the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 this post. This will basically flash you back to stock, El29 with root.
After that, follow the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 this post using the e4gtauto.exe or zip if you perfer to get a working recovery.
Then reboot into recover, restore your backup and enjoy no yellow triangle.
None of this ups flash count (I believe, don't quote me on it). All of this is assuming your planning on staying Gingerbread.
THIS ASSUMES GINGERBREAD TO GINGERBREAD EL29-EL29. THIS MIGHT WORK FOR ICS TO GINGERBREAD BUT DON'T TRY THIS FOR GINGERBREAD TO ICS, IT JUST WOULDN'T WORK AND WOULD BE STUPID.
If this works for you, make sure to thank the authors of those two treads, they did all the work, I just did the research to find their work.
I don't know if there is a quicker way (probably is somewhere) but I have used this and it has worked with no problems.
I have a USB jig. What can I do with it? How do I use out to remove triangle?

Not true. I had the triangle use TriangleAway and used Odin to go back to a GB build I've never seen it again. I also do not push kernels via Odin however anymore for that reason alone.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
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...

[Q] Stock Recovery

Hi, could someone post an image of, or describe what the stock unmodified recovery image looks like on their AT&T Note 2? I flashed a custome recovery on mine, without ever actually seeing the stock one. And now I have to send it in for warranty and am wondering if mine is right. It "seems" like it's not because my android guy is lying on his back, with the door open on his belly, and there is a red triangle with an exclamation mark coming out of it.
I have used Triangle Away (the pay version to support the development) and my flash count is back to normal, and my system status says it's normal, and I have flashed the OEM ROM off of Sammy's stock ROM site that includes the stock recovery. But I just have a funny feeling about the way it looks.
Thanks,
If ur status says normal then ur good...flash count 0 all good ...that android guy means your in recovery, your probly not used to it cause it stock lol

Yes mine says "Android system recovery <3e>" at the top as well and by the sounds of it, I'm ok. The thing that had me worried was the image of android lying on his back and the red triangle. That is what I was hoping others were seeing as well. In the past with my Galaxy SII and SIII, I remember android standing upand the triangle was yellow. And with the whole need for the app "Triangle Away" on modified devices, I was just a little curious as to whether the red triangle was stock.
Thanks,
