Well, do the stock unrooted first with Odin, that will trip the counter, but then re-root, use TriangleAway to reset counter, and unroot. Voilà!
Black spots when the screen is black? That's normal for these screens, every GS3 has them.

I think he might be referring to dead pixels.

...I boot into CWM just fine, I boot up just fine. Everything is working. Is this the same as an NS4G's "unlocked" icon?
it means you modded your phone.
to clear it you have to use a usb jig:

The triangle means you have flashed a custom rom,kernel or whatever. This wasn't on the sgs. It is new to the sgs2. Only way to get rid of it is to be stock, which you can't yet, or use a usb jig. Not aware of any other options at the moment.

Just plug it in with the phone off and turn the phone on. It will put you in download mode and erase the counter. Remove it and reboot and no more triangle.

Yes, I got the same Q, anyone can help?
First, reset three counter using. Triangle away( not really needed as Tmobile doesn't check, just making sure)
Next Flash stock rom(original ROM) using ODIN. look in the development section.
Then factory reset after, this can be done from the settings under storage or privacy. I really don't remember.
But that should do it
Sent from my SGH-T999
check the stickies in the dev section. They have the stock Rom in there
Triangle away resets the flash counter now

Unroot, use triangle away, restore stock recovery if you switched to cwm and factory reset to change from modified to stock

If only haha. Once you unroot, the device still says modified because the binary flash counter has increased from 0 to 1 (or higher). That pretty much tells the phone that your device was modified.
There are a few guides around on how to do it. I can't really search at the moment as Im on my phone.

ok...
So If I want to update with samsung when android 4.2 comes out so I have to use triangle away and also unroot it???
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Thats right. Someone mentioned just downloading the file from www.sammobile.com when its released and flashing that with odin.
Im not sure if that works while rooted but may be worth investigating?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Ok... then...
I'll go check it
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There is guides in this forum relating to your issue, but basically use Triangle Away, then wipe data/cache and it should change your status, though some say it reverts back to modified after time...
I would just leave it rooted. 4.2 based roms will be available here probably long before you would see it getting pushed to your device by your carrier.

Downloading and installing the firmware using ODIN resolves the issue.

Do what previous post said. Odin back to stock will not trigger the flash counter. If you are paranoid, there is a sticky that shows you how to reset your flash counter.
Hello I unrooted my T-Mobile galaxy s4 using mobile odin return to stock rom but my device status still show custom. I try wipeing data from recovery but when wiping cache it show and error please let me know how to fix this thanks
