Hi,
I've just flashed the speedmod kernel and everything is working properly, but there is one thing that is really bugging me. Whenever the phone is booting up an exclamation mark appears bellow the SGS2 logo. How can I remove this?
many thanks in advance
Rafa
buy a usb jig from ebay. It's because you flashed a custom kernel.

Sorry, I don't think I made my self clear. I know what you mean by buying the jig but I don't have any issues other than the exclamation mark. The phone does boot properly and I can use it perfectly. It's just a visual annoyance to see the exclamation mark every time the phone boots up.
USB jig will remove the yellow triangle, or you can do some fancy flashing trickery as depicted in the cf root thread.

it has no effect on your phone and can be removed by using a jig or if you do a bit of searching there are other methods.
it is simply a marker to point out you are running a custom rom.
Many thanks, guys. I had no idea you could remove the triangle with the JIG.
Hey,
So quick question... yeah right....
But I am about to finish updating my phone to CM7 and I've been using the great guide on these forums.
However, when I go ahead and boot into Clockwork Recovery Mode, right as the phone starts up there is a status bar (I think about repacking) and about half way through it will give me an Exclamation Mark Triangle with the Android Robot and will just sit there.
However, after I do a battery pull - the only thing to do to get it out of the mode it will boot fine into Recovery Mode.
I am using the App to boot into it... not the button method (haven't tried yet).
So I have just done my Nandroid Backup and am ready to install but don't want to do some serious damage.
Also - a bit more worrying is that in the phone's current stock state the "search" and "back" button are no longer working. Will putting CM7 on this fix it or is there something even worse going on.
Thanks for reading - hope I'm not too much of an idiot and that I will be up and running shortly!
Phone details:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I77UCK66
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: Gingerbreak.UCKH7

I'm really concerned too because my boot screen shows GT-19100, not sure if this is normal after rooting or not.
Update:
Found this on another forum - so that's addressed:
Nope, that is fine. When you root and install a custom rom/kernal, that is what happens. Apparently, Samsung did not change that boot screen from the international SGS2, thus it saying i9100. The yellow triangle just states that the phone is running a non-samsung rom/kernal. This will not affect your phone in any negative way.

The "stock" state button issue that you mention is indicative of you flashing a I9100 rom instead of a I777 rom. Do you have a link to the ROM you flashed to give you root?
Agh!
I recently rooted my SGH-I777, flashed it using Clockword Mod Recovery, and then rebooted into recovery using CWM. But instead of rebooting into the recovery menu, everything went black. Now my phone won't reboot into recovery mode at all (not even with the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power combo). Instead, it gives me the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 startup screen with the yellow triangle and then the screen goes all black, with quick flashes of dark gray.
When I removed the battery (to get it out of the black screen loop), returned the battery to the device, and plugged it in (without powering up the phone), the "charging" screen with the charging battery indicator flashed on the screen for a moment, and then back to all black flashes.
I removed the battery, SD card, and SIM card for about 20 minutes because I've read that can sometimes help. No dice.
I'm running ICS 4.0.3 with a Siyah 3.4.2 kernel.
This is probably either really bad or no big deal and I'm lame for not figuring it out, but... HELP! (Please? :fingers-crossed: ) I know this has been asked, but the other threads I've found have been able to get to recovery mode, whereas I can't seem to get to that point.
If you need any other info, let me know!

download mode and flash another kernel, or the same one.
sounds like broken recovery.

The phone is not even entertaining the idea of giving me a menu of any sort at this point. Just all black screens. Super frustrating.

No d/l mode, no CWM. = brick.
no offense but im pretty sure your just not holding the buttons right.
CWM= hold both vol, then hold power, let the first screen blink once, come back, then let off power is my trick.
download, you can just hold vol buttons and insert USB belive.
Somebody used rom manager!

A-ha! Ok, so definitely no on the CWM combo, but I do get a menu using DL mode. Thank you. Seeing at least a menu made me feel much better.
I re-flashed the initial kernel, but no change. Still stuck in perpetual black screen boot loop.
I'm not opposed to doing a full-fledged wipe using Odin, if that's an option, but I've never looked into it before, and I'm currently feeling pretty gun shy when it comes to getting creative with any new tricks.

Ugh. Yes. That somebody would be this idiot right here.
But you've seemed to have dealt with fools like me in the past, so your knowledge would be greatly appreciated! Pleeeeaasssse! haha

If you want stock, flash a stock ROM, or stock with root, with Odin.
If you want custom, after you flashed that custom kernel, you CAN get into CWM and flash a custom ROM.
and NEVER use ROM manager, hell it was a joke when it came out, sorry koush
EDIT:
and if you do go custom, dont forget to wipe data/factory reset in CWM before flashing.

You rock. Thank you a ton for being so patient!!
To any other fool who gets into the same mess, I went into DL mode (volume up + volume dwn + usb attached) and opted to let this do the rest of the work because it was the only option that didn't give me a heart attack: androidarea51.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii/samsung-galaxy-sii-(sgh-i777)-att-only/
From there, I had the option of rebooting, initializing a factory reset... all of the menu options I wasn't seeing when I couldn't figure out how to get into CWM mode. Good luck!!

I know, I know (and this is a dumb excuse, much like using rom manager in the first place), but the tutorial I was reading made it seem like it was a good option. I hadn't used it in forever and logic coupled with faith in a perpetually broken system paves the road to hell, but I figured, "There's no way it still sucks as badly as I remember!"
Don't think that. Ever. My mistake.
Charge the baterry externally thats what I did when my old infuse was bricked

Samsung Galaxy s2 i-777 does not turn on
okay so I read through this thread and I still don't know how to fix my issue. I rooted my phone using Odin v 1.85 and used siyah 3.4.2. I did it successfully and everything was good. I then gave the phone to my cousin and he said he performed a factory reset to get rid of everything on the phone ( contacts ,etc). Now when I turn on the phone it shows the samsung galaxy display with the triangle and then the screen goes black and just blinks. It still goes back into download mode I just dont know what to do to fix the problem. I know I'm a noob but please HELP!!!

Have you tried flashing back to stock using odin? BTW it is not good etiquette to necro a thread that has been dormant for almost 9 months.
Hi guys ok so ive just rooted and put a new rom on my s3 but it keeps rebooting and rebooting after a couple of minutes
On the reboot on the galaxy s3 screen gt19300 screen i now notice theres a little orange like and ! , ???? does anyone know what that is and has it got something to do with the constant crashing?
Thanks
It means that you've flashed a custom ROM/kernel/recovery (via Odin, for example). You can get rid of it with TriangleAway if it bothers you, but it has nothing to do with your problem.
ah right put my mind at ease many thanks for your help i appreciate it

This is not true I don't believe. I flashed CF ROOT via Odin and I never got a Triangle at all and the OP did not mention there was a "triangle" at all either, he said there was a little "orange light" and the triangle is not orange anyways... Its yellow.
OP... DO you have a triangle on your screen with an exclamation mark in the center of it OR are you getting just an exclamation mark on the screen and an orange light from your LED? If that is the case then the device may be telling you there is something wrong with it and that could be the reason it continues to crash.
Please be clear about what is happening and lets see if we can help you. I HOPE it IS just the Triangle though for your sake.
Also... What carrier are you with and are you sure your device IS the I9300 version? Is it possible that you have a "carrier branded" device and have tried to flash an I9300 ROM onto it?
Can someone please tell me what it means when the wee android guy comes on your screen lying down with a red ! In a triangle means? Is that me messed things up and bricked it? Also before hand I had a android man with his stomach open with like a web ball turning inside it, what do these mean? Have I gone a done my phone in? Please someone tell me
you mean this right ?

Is it like this if yes may be ur phone is bricked
The color of the triangle is
either red or yellow. Yellow means something
crashed or the kernel panicked. Red normally
indicates corrupted firmware, corrupted ROM
or no operating system

Yeah thats exactly how it is, and it stayed like that for quite some time, I rebooted my phone and it seems fine now, it done it after it asked me to load up clockwork mod or twrp when I opened supersu I think it was that, it gave me two options it said normalon the left and cwm or twrp ob tthe right so I clicked the cwm twrp button, I dont even know if I have any them running properly, thanks for the reply.
