So I just thought I would share this. Got the Note II about two weeks ago. Came from SGSII and also had Captivate, so I'm not new to the scene. I rooted using CF Auto Root, injected CWM using mjwhirly's method, and installed Jedi ROM 3.3. At no point did I encounter the yellow triangle. I still don't have it. I used a jig to get rid of it with my SGSII, and the captivate didn't employ that yellow triangle mess. I was fully prepared to either use Triangle Away or just live with it (as I've read you must do if you want to run custom firmwares nowadays). In "About Phone" it says "Modified" and in download mode it says custom binaries installed (count 2) but still no yellow triangle.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but isn't this weird?

I never saw the triangle until I was going through the process of unrooting and going back to factory stock.

I am having trouble getting the 4.04 update to work, I get to the android, then it lays down with a red exclamation point out of his stomach.
I was running Kang B36 w Franco Milestone
I used option 9 on the toolkit my build toro 4.02
I restored facotry image for my phone via option 8
I reflashed stock recovery via option 10
finally I locked my bootloader via option 11
restarted my phone downloaded the update and now it stays stuck on the Android with the red exclamation out of his stomach halfway thru the update.
anyone know the reason why my phone will not update?
did I screw the Basseband? IMEI? or serial? the same thing happend on my Droid Razr when I modified the Build.prop but I never touched the build.prop on my GNEX.

1) Don't use a toolkit. You don't know what it is doing exactly, so you don't know where it went wrong.
2) I suspect that there is still something that is not stock. I would follow the instructions here, which takes you through the whole process set-by-step (make sure you do the optional steps in part D). That way you can be certain that nothing messed up. Once you do that, then you can have a look here for how to use the OTA update file to update.
3) Don't re-lock your bootloader.
Thank you very much I was unaware of the issues with tool kits, I assumed they worked good since they are stickied.

When I boot into recovery from fastboot my android has a red triangle with a exclamation point, do you think my stock recovery is corrupted?
I am having the same exact probem. I am running the stock 4.0.2 that the phone came with. I used a toolkit that was posted in the Development forums to unlock and root the phone. Other than that, its totally stock.
When I do the OTA update, It gets to the dead android with a triangle coming from his stomach,
I have to pull the battery to get the phone booted, and its still on 4.0.2.
Anyone have any suggestions?

What you see IS the stock recovery screen. (To see the menu, you need to press power and volume up together.) However, if you are seeing that screen when you try to install the update, it is because something on your device is not stock, or, it is not the correct version of stock for the update.
The easiest way to flash the update (assuming you are all stock) is to follow one of the methods in the second link I posted.
So i saw the thread made by Doc few minutes ago and am having a dilemma right now...the QUESTION is if i use the root66 - PreRooted Firmware - T999_UVDLJA and FLASH a ROM for example [ROM][UVDLJA]~FrostyJB_4.1.1 the "Triangle" on the screen will appear or not?
"
and if i use the root66 - PreRooted Firmware - T999_UVALJ4 and flash a JB ROM the "Triangle" will not show up?
I have NEVER had the triangle even when my system says it is modified. Right now my phone is on the exact same thing i used odin with root66 then i flashed frosty. No triangle but my binary count is at one. With triangle away which i have used to test as far as i have been able to see it works fine so with the wonderful Triangle away i don't think their is any worry. If you do get the triangle just use triangle away.
Ok, I have installed custom roms on my phone recently and they all worked fine. Just two days ago I dropped my phone and cracked the screen... So I need to return to stock firmware and what not to return it of course. So I have downloaded "Triangle Away"... This is where I need help... Triangle Away sort of scares me with the warning and all so I want to make sure of what I'm doing and seeking advice. I now have the stock firmware on my phone, but I have not done anything with Triangle Away.
Here's what I've done.
1. Downloaded newest version of Odin.
2. Downloaded the AT&T Firmware from -> sammobile
- Extracted files - Loaded file onto Odin
3. Went into "Download Mode" and installed the firmware.
4. Passed and booted up and was a %100 success.
Now... my device status no longer says modified, it does indeed say normal... Does this mean I can return it for warranty now or is there more to this then what I'm seeing?

If it says Normal, official and a flash count of 0 you're good to go. You lose root when you Odin back to stock (not root injected) you need root to use Triangle Away anyway.
Make sure your superuser apps (superuser, supersu) are uninstalled and remove any programs that require root such as Titanium Backup.
Triangle away has that big scary warning because chainfire isn't responsible if it Bork's your phone (especially considering it doesn't work on every model) I've used it a bunch of times and had zero issues.

Same. I've used it many times with no issues. I think its more or less a disclaimer to cover his butt and to scare off people who have absolutely no clue what they're doing.
Best way to be sure is to boot into download mode (power+home+volume down) and see what it says there. As stated above, make sure the counter says 0.
If it says anything other than 0, you will have to root your device again, then use triangle away, then flash back to stock via Odin. Keep in mind when I used triangle away, if I rebooted the phone after I used it my counter would read 1 upon reboot. Not sure if that's normal or not, but I ended up running triangle away, turned phone off, booted into download mode, and flashed back to stock with no problems.
Hope that helps

The paid version auto clears on reboot. Because of the custom ROM loading after each reboot the counter always goes to 1.

I think the warning is mainly for those who don't have phones compatible with the triangle away app. I've used it a few times so far and haven't had an issue. It takes about 5 seconds and you're done!

My cousin rooted my galaxy s3 a year ago, everytime i turned my phone on after the samsung logo it showed a hot power logo, then after a while i decided to unroot my s3 by myself i dont think it worked as the hot power logo still shows and i cant update my software it says my phone has been modified, but when i check root checker it says my phone is not rooted?, i can not open superuser or framaroot so im totally baffleded iv been trying too look all over the internet and cant find anything thats like what im stuck with
.
Please could you help me if you can,
Thank you very much in advance
Do you have Superuser installed (not sure if root checker works with or without SU)? Also, do you still have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc.)?
If not, try installing it from the market and see if you still have root. The boot image didn't get replaced with the stock one when you unrooted.
The best way to set your phone back to a stock unrooted (with counter reset) IF you are not running 4.3 following the instructions in billard412 thread linked below:

I normally work stuff like this out, but i'm having difficulties.
Note II i317, Was running rooted 4.4.2, knox tripped. (rooted it before we had facilities not to trip knox) I was prepping it for trade in, so I ran the back to stock zip instructions from the main forum. UCALJ2 went in fine, it booted and worked, and then OTA happened and now I'm frozen at the Galaxy Note 2 logo in the bootloader.
I have sdk, odin and can access download mode/flash, but can't get in to recovery (it never gets that far) .
I've tried re-flashing stock kies, i've tried a number of roms. I suspect that don't quite understand enough about knox or the bootloaders. I would think if download still works it's still fixable, but reflashing the stock includes a fresh boot loader and it still hates me. It's like it got something in the OTA that the flashes aren't touching.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I've decided to keep it instead of trade but my note 4 is still a couple of days out.
Noting like posting a question to figure out wtf
