Hi,
Litepro never claimed that flashing his rom doesn't count!
By using ODIN, the binary will count for lite'tning rom or any other rom as it's not an official tool as Kies.
Any way, you can delete the yellow triangle that appears on boot by flashing an original samsung kernel according to the version that you've already installed.
Or , you can buy an USB JIG to reset the binary counter.
cheers!

Hello all you experts out there i need some help if at all possible,
I have been flashing my galaxy s2 and have clocked up a binary count of 12 and would like to reset to 0.
I used odin and re-flashed to stock I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1
then did a factory re-set.
then plugged in kies and it automaticly updated to latest firmware XWKI4.
Then i turned phone off booted in to download mode and inserted my jig to reset the counter but it didn't work.
what am i doing wrong????

Use Ctrl-F in your browser to find the description for GT-I9100_OLD_BOOTLOADER.7z. Download it and flash it using Odin, then use your jig to reset the binary counter.
You should change your bootloader to an old one.. New bootloaders are not reseting counter..
Here is the old one:

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Thanks to all for the help
i'll certainly look at mobile odin, but how do i use this ctrl thingy
Put jig in before rebooting normally (not into download mode) the device with jig in will automatically boot into download mode. If you are on old bootloader it will reset.
If not intratech has the old bootloader for download in his official firmware thread. Read down from 1st post till you find it. Instructions are there also.

Sorry if this sounds noob, but I'm a newbie for android phone system.
I thought if I flash the kernel using mobile odin pro won't increase the flash count, but it did.
I reset the flash count using triangle away, it was a success.
but after a reboot, the flash counter back to 1 and Binary is custom.
Anyone know what happen and help me with a workaround?
However, have to agreed that the Siyah kernel works well and increase phone performance.
Phone: I9300
ROM version: JB 4.1.1 stock ROM
CWM version: CWM Touch 6.0.1.9 (may not related but just provide as much info as possible)
Siyah kernel version: 1.8.4 (File name: Siyah-s3-v1.8.4.tar)
Mobile Odin Pro version: 3.57
Triangle Away version: v2.36
Thanks.

Next time flash via CWM.
and just try again. Some phones don't go lower than 1 if you have a custom kernel. Mine does go to 0 even with custom rom and kernel.
you mean i can reflash siyah kernel again using cwm?
anyway, mobile odin pro was recommended by siyah kernel maker, and i brought it from play store just to flash the kernel.
it did do a good job.
Yes you can flash again. Like any other program does, it will overwrite files.

thanks. i'll try it tonight see whether this reset the flash count.

I don't think it will reset flash counter. If you want to reset flash counter then you will have to use TriangleAway. Here is a video tutorial by xda member.

have done it before i created this thread, was success to reset the counter, but after a reboot back to 1 again.
Edit:
I recall that when I use triangle away to reset the flash count, it did not reboot my phone into a special environment to reset the counter.
Is this normal?

If you open TriangleAway and it can detect your current counter status then it will not take you to download mode before flashing counter.
It will only ask for confirmation (in popup). And you are done.
If TriangleAway can not detect your current counter then while flashing it might go to download mode.
I think it's rom specific. in some rom it does that and in some roms it does not.
I just tried resetting my counter, and everything went fine. Now I am on 0.
What is your counter in download mode? Confirm it's correct and same as in TriangleAway.

maybe i do it now right in front of my PC.
1. Power off my phone
2. Boot to download mode (volumn down + power + home button)
3. It reads
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR][/B]
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
4. Ok, now i long press power button to reboot.
5. Opened my Triangle Away, status tab is
Code:
[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 1
Binary: Custom
Device: GT-I9300
6. Looks like it is tally, alright, i tab the Reset flash counter to reset now.
7. Tab Continue on the confirmation message.
8. Message appear "Flash counter has been reset!".
9. Go back to Triangle Away again, now the status bar reads
Code:
[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 0
Binary: Official
Device: GT-I9300
10. Power off my phone
11. Boot to download mode again(volumn down + power + home button)
12. Now it reads
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR][/B]
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
13. Again, long press power to reboot
14. Notice a small red dot on left top screen before Siyah boot logo was showed, when the screen shows my phone model (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300)
15. Open Triangle Away again, the Current Status tab shows
Code:
[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 1
Binary: Custom
Device: GT-I9300
So, does this means that the siyah kernel was detected when i boot up my phone and thus increase the flash count?
hmmm.. that is strange.
Although I am not using stock rom but I am also on Siyah Kernel 1.8.4 and I could just easily flash my counter without any issue.
This could be device/rom specific issue and also beyond my knowledge.
I hope someone can suggest you a solution and you get everything working.
this is amazing!
with the guide from XDA forumers i have flash an old bootloader to my phone and problem solved!
You guys rocks!

Use triangle away to reset counter. Newer bootloaders (4.1.2) increase the counter every boot. Either put up with it or search here for downgrading your bootloader

Hi,
I've tried to install CWM on Galaxy i9100 and got a yellow triangle. So I re-flashed via odin the 4.1 and got it back.

Thanks!

You can just ignore the yellow traingle. Only if you want to send it for repair or something, then you need to remove it and put the counter back to 0. If you want to know how to do this, use search.

After flashing one of them flash any kernel/recovery/rom you want

Or use Triangle Away. With the PhilZ Kernel, however, the flash counter does not increase.
i tried to install 9.43 kernel (dorimanx) via odin but it gave me the yellow triangle.. i used the program triangle away but after reboot phone doesn't boot (stuck at i9100 logo).. and i must reflash the 9.43 via odin.. then boot.. (but with triangle)
how can i solve this?

Hmm.. triangle away has always worked whenvever i use it.
If you want to get rid of it that badly i suggest you go back to stock (to remove it) and then flash a custom recovery.. and then flash PhilZ kernel. It wont affect the triangle.

can you suggest me a custom recover and give me the link for philz kernel? thank you!
Depending your rom kernel code, you can find his thread here
Please help me. My Galaxy S2 show Yellow triangle on Start Logo.And then stuck at Logo.What can i do.
If your phone is stock & isn't rooted, boot into recovery - factory reset. If your phone is rooted & is running stock earlier or older than Android 4.0.4, boot into recovery - factory reset. If your phone is running rooted stock Android 4.0.4 or if the factory reset doesn't work in other examples, get stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin in download mode.
'My Galaxy S2 show Yellow triangle on Start Logo.And then stuck at Logo.What can i do' doesn't even make it remotely easy to give you help. I reckon I've done a pretty fair job given that though. If you want help in future, you need to tell us everything about your phone (rom, Android version, etc) & what you've been doing with it recently.
hi all,
i just purchased this S2 I9100 handset from one of my freind..he had rooted and installed some kitkat resurrenction mix custom rom which i did not like
i flashed cwm through odin but when it rebooted in yellow traingle..i cna go into cwm recovery mode by presiing (vol up+power+home), yellow triangle appears briefly and then cwm menu appears..but when i select REBOOT SYSTEM it again goes into yellow traiangle..
i have searched on net and right now downloading stock rom from sammy I9100XWLST FOR indian s2 i9100LKAINU
my question is if i just flash this rom thru odin will the triangle go away? odin or copy to sd card and flash via cwm?
or do i have to download kernel seperately also,..where do i find if yes?
thanks

hmm... your phone is soft bricked....flash the stock rom, root your phone, install and execute triangle away, this should fix your problem

If you still want to, you can remove this triangle. But it's not doing any harm, so you can leave it like it is. Just so you know.
