Did the phone still boot up after the yellow triangle showed up? This is actually pretty normal when rooting - it just shows that you have flashed a non-official kernel, which you have to do while rooting. It's easy to fix, once the phone is rooted you just re-flash a stock kernel.
(I realise this is a bit off-topic from your original question by the way, but as far as I know you need root for the TV off animation)

i was under the impression that gingerbread came with that animation...my buddy just got a nexus or something along those lines and his came stock with the animation....also once its rooted how do u flash a stock kernel and where do u get it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
read the instructions here ....everything is there...and nexus is stock gingerbread tats the reason it has tat animation sgs2 is with tw4..
Yes, unfortunately stock Gingerbread on the Nexus phones does have the animation but it was disabled in the firmware of many phones including the Galaxy S II If you follow the link posted by Ivishal you should be fine rooting the phone though, it sounds a bit complicated at first but as long as you follow it right to the letter it's not bad at all
i am a total noob when it comes to this....i have no clue which files to download or anything....i have read it all and still stumped lol maybe im just a complete jackass

I just got a new samsung vibrant and I hate the Stock UI so I wanted to root and drop a mod on it. Rooted no problem then remembered a friend with a Galaxy S phone told me he really loved this one Rom. so I snagged it and flashed it without even thinking about the fact that his phone is a Captivate.
That went awful, screen orientation, home, menu, return buttons were all screwy. But I used ODIN to return to stock as per the Development forum here in XDA. Now however, my phone says ATT World Phone as the first thing during boot sequence. Even putting on a new rom with a custom boot animation doesn't change a thing.
Any suggestions how I might go about fixing this?

did you ODIN fully? does the bootanimation INCLUDE the ATT world phone part?
Helpin another guy with basically the same problem...

you probably used AT&T stock file when u Odin'ed....read those (well mostly the bottom one) and it should get u back to T-Mobile stock
@xrider Can you define fully? I used the Pit file and the Tar file, attached my phone in dl mode. Clicked start and let it go till it rebooted my phone and told me it was done.
@fearless That second link is what I've been working from, I've been using the T959UVJFD.tar
Here's the exact boot up process,
1) ATT World Phone logo
2) Vibrant / Samsung logo
3) T-mobile sound and animation
4) Swirly Galaxy S logo
5) at main locked screen going through media checks and aquiring signal
something in that Captivate ROM must have really screwed up stuff....i'm thinking the playlogos file got tampered with when you flashed that Captivate ROM....but ODIN would've restored it back to normal....i'll do some more searching....
Thanks, if it helps any, this is the ROM I flashed the first time http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856877
I have an international version of the Samsung GS2 that i am using on At&t. A few weeks ago i noticed that my phone would suddenly turn off while in my pocket or just left alone. Then, one time i tried turning on the phone and saw that the phone got stuck on the boot animation screen with blue markings all around it. I took out the battery and put it back in a few times and was finally able to get the phone to work.
Today, the same thing happened. The phone turned off i tried to restart it and it got stuck on the boot animation screen (Galaxy S logo). It has these blue markings around it and it can't get past it. The phone isn't rooted and i have not tampered with the system files. I've only updated it once, from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I tried factory resetting it but nothing changed and its still has the same problem.
I have a suspicion that it might be caused by the fact that i've dropped the phone a few times. What do you guys think could be the problem and what are my choices in getting it fixed? Would flashing a stock rom help fix the problem?
I would suggest flashing the Stock Rom Through Odin as i once has an issue with massive yellow streaks kind of like what you are getting after a flash before.
I went ahead and flashed a few roms from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. The flashing worked fine but it still can't get past the bootup screen and the blue marks are still there.
Would calling Samsung and asking for support get me anywhere?
How long did you wait after flashing the rom? The worst way you could have messed up is by choosing the wrong files in Odin. Did u check that again?

I flashed the rom and rebooted and saw that it was still the same. Does it matter which rom i chose? I tried two or three different roms from the thread. I though they were all stock roms...
i am hoping that i did not brick my phone as i just spent $600 to go get the bloody thing. i flashed darkcore kernel onto it and it was fine. the phone was fine until i went to go change the battery icon (the phone is a samsung i9000 galaxy s) it boots into recovery but when i go to do a normal boot it littraly freezes at the boot screen and thats it i left it on the table for HALF AN HOUR and when i came back it was still on the boot screen . the boot screen says galaxy s gt-i9000 (white writing) powered by darkcore and darkysrom (green writing) please help me i hope i have no bricked my phone as i am a noob to android as i have only had my phone a few days. do i need to replace the modem on the phone ? or the kernel? please if someone knows to get in contact with me. i have odin and superoneclick installed on my pc. i have wiped everything off my phone wipe data/factory reset but that doesnt do anything diffrent. it simply stays on the boot screen. i have not flashed a custom rom onto my galaxy it only has a custom kernel.

OK it is simple really. What did you do when it started causing issues? You tried to change the icon, so undo your changes. You didn't say how you tried to change it at all so not sure what steps you have to take. Also please do the proper research before you do something that can't be fixed

Android phones are REALLY REALLY hard to brick. what you need to do, is get yourself a factory default rom, and start over where you messed up. Messing with these phones is all trial and error. I have bricked my samsung fascinate over 30 times im sure, hell almost 10 times last night as im porting miui v4 to my phone. Dont freak out learn what ODIN is, and get it fixed.

Not all android phones are hard to brick. Take a look at the SGS II and the Euro Note that were perm bricked from a wiping data. No JTAG recovery would fix it. Also there are many ways to brick a device and as you recovered it. You didnt brick it. Bricking it makes it non recoverable except by Jtag. Too many people use this word wrong.
On a side note... Why would you spend 600 dollars on that phone?
Samsung problems
i really have no idea why i spent so much on it lol and i used the android app "DarkyODA" i think it was i flashed CwM DarkCore v3.0.2.8x kernel onto it via DarkyODA and it was fine after that but until i went to change the battery icon on the DarkyODA app then i went to reboot my phone and now its stuck at the boot screen i left it on overnight on the boot screen to see if it would reboot got up in the morning and it still was on the boot screen, i can get into the recovery menu but thats about it, i have been trying to find a stock kernel and rom for my phone but i simply cannot find one (build number xwjvp), i think its the battery icon thats making the phone freeze at the boot screen ive done a full system wipe but that didnt fix it, and i cannot remove the icon as i installed it on the darky app (which i cannot access as i cannot get past the boot screen), do i need to flash a stock rom and kernel or just a stock rom ? do you reckon that would fix my phone ? as i do not want to go and spend another $450 to get samsung to fix it (lol) i have odin 1.85 and i went to go flash voodoo kernel xwjvp v1.3 through odin but it got stuck half way through............
I know my way around a phone, but I've rarely ever rooted one. I think that's what my friend tried to do. When you boot the phone, it starts off with the basic Samsung Galaxy i9100 screen (but with a yellow warning triangle, I think this is a safe/developer mode?). Then it stays frozen on a splash screen (It's a yin yang, I think it's the splash screen for CWM?) until you remove the battery.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is, and how I can fix it?
That yellow triangle means that your friend tried to install a custom OS. The phone is most probably soft-bricked. You can try to get it back to stock Jellybean by following the guide in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
Thanks for the heads-up, I managed to flash 4.1.2 JellyBean leak, and it's finally showing signs of life! Thank you
Good to hear!
Though, I would not recommend you to stay on stock Jellybean. Custom ROMs are more secure and better.
Hello. I have a 2012 Samsung Tab 2 that was branded for ATT and the model number is SGH 1497. It has been in a drawer for a year and I never use it but I thought I would experiment with it and try to install the Marshmellow Rom even though I am a noob at this stuff. My first problem was that I saw nothing for my version SGH 1497 but I did read on a forum that the Rom 5113 would work for that model. After going through a lot of websites I finally found one that seemed pretty easy and the root process went perfectly for me, no issues at all. I then followed instructions and downloaded the needed files and moved them onto my tablet and all was going well. I was then instructed to boot into recovery mode and that is where my troubles started. I believe it said to hold power and volume down key. Recovery mode would pop onto the screen but then vanish and it would never go into it. So I did more reading and someone had posted that I needed to download the toolkit and re-install a new recovery mode. So I did that just fine and still the same thing happened. I then tried 2-3 more of the other recovery modes and the same thing happened. At that time the tablet would still boot normally. So then I did something else and now my tablet wont turn on anymore. If I push power enough times the Samsung logo will pop onto the screen and then it goes away and that's it. It will turn on to download mode but that is it. Nothing else. Im not upset because I knew this could happen but I surely should have came here first. Is there anything I can do to get this thing back working again or is it hopeless??
Thank you for any help and advice.
Thomas
I was able to fix it by finding the exact same firmware that ATT put on this tablet and then using Odin to flash it. Works fine and is rooted.
Does anyone know of a custom rom that will work on this model sgh 1497??
Thanks.
