You can't flash an apk, and you don't even need root, just go to settings>security>unknown sources and tick it, afterwards u can open apks and install them.

I won't.say that it's impossible but in practical terms, no. I haven't seen anyone post a script or app to do this. Normally you need root to manipulate the filesystem. It can actually be done by way of various exploits but it's simply easier and more useful to root a device.

Tutorial to remove yellow triangle

Hi, because I have seen a lot of people asking for this, I decide to make a quick tutorial,
(I was inspired highly by lot of post every where, and of course by this one : CF-ROOT POST 2)
Here quick step :
Download and install CF-ROOT through ODIN
Download and install Stock kernel through ODIN
Extract the zImage from any kernel you want (you could do it directly on the phone with Root Explorer)
Open CWM Apps, use flash kernel, and select your kernel, flash it
Done !
Let me explain now :
Step 1) Install CF-ROOT through ODIN
Here the link : CF-Root Thread
Take the better version for your rom, example: if your rom is based on KG3 kernel, take the KG3 version
CF-ROOT will install CWM Apps, that allow you to flash kernel directly on your phone without ODIN.
To flash it through ODIN, it's simple, just follow the instruction on CF-ROOT thread. In short, your PDA and select your rom, put your phone in download mode and click start.
After that your phone will boot with yellow triangle.
Step 2) Flash stock kernel through ODIN
Here the link : Stock Kernel
Same for CF-ROOT kernel, find the most accurate kernel and flash it through ODIN, tuto inside the thread too
The yellow triangle have disappear, and any root tools is still there !
Step 3) Extract a zImage
I advice to use Root Explorer to do this, you can find it in the market. You put your kernel in your sdcard (zip, tar, ...), you can try with CF-ROOT you have used for example,
Then from the phone open the file with root explorer. You need to go in "sdcard" directory to find it.
You will be able to open it, then click on the file and click extract.
It will extract in /sdcard/extracted
If the zip contain a tar, then open again and extract the zImage.
Another way, it to extract the zImage with your computer. And you can do it from a ROM too ! it's just a tar or a zip !
Step 4) Flash it through CWM Apps
Then open CWM Apps, click on flash kernel, choose your zImage (probably in /sdcard/extracted if you use Root Explorer)
Flash it, it will reboot on it, you will be in the new kernel, without the yellow triangle !
Step 5) Enjoy !
Now you can flash any kernel you want directly from your phone, even if they are not compatible with CWM ! You have just to use this method for any other kernel (from Step 3 to Step 4).
If you have any question, fill free to tell me.
If you want to download rom from my mirror, follow my signature.
If you find this usefull, say Thanks
For people for whom the rom doesn't support this method, you can follow this tuto, it should work :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16236508&postcount=25
Enjoy !
thanks
no more yellow sign

You have to use ODIN (the software used for flashing) for step 1 and 2
Alternative Buy a USB jig place in USB slot job done and resets custom rom counter.
Must say this is not Original Android Development is it .

Of course, but you need a JIG only for reselling ?
And I only used Original Android Development tools, it's a tutorial, not a rom.
I hope this thread could be stick by a modo, because, it could avoid a lot of question in a lot of thread.

thanks for the tutorial. how would it work on cyanogenmod? no need for cf-root i believe?
Is it possible to just remove yellow triangle image? Somewhere in memory there must be this image file.

Basically you need a tools to flash the kernel, and you have to be rooted.
So a CM with CWM is perfect for this.
I don't really know much about cyanogenmod, do you have a link I can take a look ?

Have you tried this procedure on VillainROM? Many users report that they're unable to reflash cf-root kernel via CWM manager after they had flashed with Odin the stock one.
CWM manager abnormally abort to home screen without flashing the kernel.

BTW the Samsung logo could be changed to something else... maybe suitable with the triangle putting below the triangle some kind of warning text... just lIke: unauthorized use of this phone will be logged and position sent to owner using GPS... that's amusing
The image is in paramlfs img and there's an old thread about it but it's not used that much as it requires Odin to flash it

Of course it can be used, but with care!!!
I agree....
there should always be a warning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
It is jokingly said that dd stands for "disk destroyer", "data destroyer", "death and destruction", or "delete data", since when used for low-level operations on hard disks, a small mistake, such as reversing the if and of (input and output) parameters, could result in the loss of some or all data on a disk.

I read the forum before as i have made a bookmark of it in my browser. Actually, i'm confused because there's Odin Multi Downloader and the older one, right?
Sorry ,
but why would one want to remove
CWM ? Is there some issue with the software or is it a warrenty thing?
Apart from personal gusto, of course.

Because updating via OTA(OverTheAir) is (yet) only possible with the stock recovery.

sorry guys for this question, but the reason why i want to remove cwm because, if someday i had to sent my phone to the service center i must remove cwm, if they found out, maybe they will decline my phone..
Flash back stock FW...everything will be restored....
What's the point Binary count to show phone is rooted is there as I know Samsung don't bother if you have rooted in Malaysia.....

Did you just click install as an apk?
it is a system app so you need to use a root browser app and move the memo.apk file to the root/system/app folder and give it the correct permissions.

I only need to install the app, so I can put some of the memo's that I created back on, so I can get the information I need...
i use this on jedi knight. Might work for you.
just use a root explorer & place in root/system/app, &reboot.

I was on CWM before but devs lately are recommending TWRP
go to android development thread at top of page read the sticky notes for directions
all versions of CWM work with our t989d
easiest way to install CWM is Rom Manager from the app store
but you must root your phone first

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.
This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

dude relaxy, if you get worked up everytime someone says that there is another way of doing what you are saying you wont get very far cuz honestly there are always multiple ways to stuff... however i do agree with you chainfire clearly said on g+ that the root method is specifically for the s4 leak.. anyway its upto the users they can either use your method or chainfires.. i will try your method once i flash 4.3 :good:
