[Q] S2 yellow traingle confused - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, i know its been done and all that, its just that i want to ask a few questions. The yellow triangle thing has appeared after putting the lightning rom 6.1 on my S2. Ive had a lookup on the tut about this, but am confused.
By putting lightning 6.1 kh3 on my phone, as it has ninphetamines kernal in it already, does that mean i have to flash the kernal again?
It says until i get a zimage, do i copy over just the zimage? or the files included.
does it say to flash the stock xxkg6 for any other erason, or does this kernal have to match my kernal, gosh im confused.
Also, what kernal is better, speedmod or niphetamine?

There has literally been dozens of threads on this subject yellow triangle search the forum and you will find your answer.

Yes, but are they all relevant, especially when you have to consider what stock you need and such. Plus, i would like some of the questions i asked answered, as the tut isn't clear in exact detail. So please, my question wasn't to know how to get rid of it, it was to ask the questions in my opening thread.

i dont know about litening pro and the kernel it comes with cause you flash that through odin but i can explain about when you flash a rom and comes with a kernel..
when you flash a rom you get the kernel with it...now it does not matter if your KG, KI3, or whatever you can change the kernel after you flashed the rom..i always suggest to stick with the kernel that comes with the rom because thats what the dev recommends if you get me.
regarding removing the yellow triangle i say leave it since your rooted....cause even if you do remove it and say your handset gets faulty your still rooted and that means you lose your warranty....but anyway go into original dev forum and look up for chainfire thread and you will find more indetail in the opening page regarding the yellow triangle...

Cheers Matriak31, thanks.
Was only looking to get rid of it for appearance sake but it isn't much of a bother.

no problems mate..id leave it cause if you try and get rid is a long ass process and honestly not worth the trouble

Make our buy a usb jig to reset the custom rom counter and remove warning triangle.
Simple as,..... power off, insert, automatically boys into DL mode and resets, hold power button down until phone powers off, remove jig.
Done, last "evidence" is removed from phone. Useful if your phone needs to be returned for warranty.

[Q] Kernal & Rom for Lite'ning Rom 1.5

Erm..i have done some reading regarding flashing Lite'ning Rom, however there's one thing remains unclear to me....
i understand that Lite'ning Rom is rooted and rooting is not necessary when flashing, and flashing a rom that comes with a kernel will automatically change the kernel of my phone....<- correct me if im wrong
Here comes the noob question (my first android phone =p) :
Does this means i can just flash Lite'ning Rom using odin without doing anything (like flashing kernel/rooting) the moment i unbox sgs2 ?
[A Yes or No answer would be sufficient , if there's any other advice is welcome]
thank you...
Yes, just flash Lite'ning Rom and your phone is rooted and you have the Superuser along with it so you can screw up your phone, like I did several times ;-)

(had this question as well sometime ago, SGS2 is my first android too.. was amazed by the ease of using custom ROM's! Btw... welcome in Android-world! )
You can flash to Lite'ning ROM 1.5 no problem. The only issue you'll notice is that when the phone boots, you'll have a yellow triangle on the boot screen. This happens when you Odin/Heimdall flash a custom kernel.
There are a couple of ways to get rid of the triangle, but the easiest is to use a jig. You can get these fairly cheaply through eBay, and it's simply a micro-USB connector with a 301Kohm resistor between two of the pins. You turn off your phone, plug this is, and bye bye triangle.

[Q] been looking, where are answers?

I hope no one gets too upset but the only way i think i will find an answer is to ask..... here goes:
I have a vodafone australia i9100t:
kernel 2.6.35.7-i9100tdukf4-cl331615
[email protected]#2
gingerbread.dukf
i flashed a rooted kernel, supercurio_3 so i had root access. now i have the following:
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100xwkdd-cl161513
[email protected] #voodoo
So what i am wanting to know is...... If i want to put a rom on, or have keis update {very slow in aussie} or even a newer version of factory via odin - what is the latest.... how do i easily get cwm and why does there appear to be so many versions of how too's on the sgs2 section? theres really nothing wrong with my phone but i would like it to be up to date but mine is clearly not. and if i want to use a rom then i would like to know how to do that easier. using odin isnt the problem dont get me wrong, thats the easy part.... the confusing part is re-flashing factory kernels after rooting? whats that about, and where did the guide go... i was sure there used to be one. if im asking in the wrong place have a mod take it down but thats the state of the forum..... where do you ask?
Oh last of all from what i find the I9100t can be flashed no dramas with a rom... is that correct?
Thanks for all help
Normally rooted moded kernels come with CWM recovery , i don't know if supercurio_3 comes with , you can try power off phne, then Hold Volume up + Power + home, if you boot into CWM recovery you are done , you can flash any rom. If no CWM just flash CF root kernel .
Rooting and flashing mods on SGS2 is super easy.
My first day i got SGS2
1. flashed CF root kernel with odin.
2. Got into CWM recovery flashed ROM. Done.
Use kies only if you want to stay on pure stock, pointless in my opinion.
Supercutio does not come with cwm. What firmware should i use? Mine is old.... Very old for this phone

Please help with CW / Kernel

Hello,
I tried to find help on existing topics before resorting to begging for help but I'm baffled now.
I rooted my i9100 some time ago and tried to install CW with no avail using ODIN.
To be specific, the root worked, but when I try to boot to CW, I still get the stock screen.
I tried following the post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I'm not sure what Kernel to get however. (I'm attaching a snapshot of the about section)
I hate to ask people to babysit me through this but I am kind of lost. I rooted and flashed custom ROMs on my HTC desire with no issues so I'm not a complete noob but I'm just not sure what my next step is.
If it matters at all, I get the yellow exclamation when I boot the phone up.
I'd like to pop ICS on the phone so I would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance guys,
Vitaly

You want to go for "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip", you match up the KG2 bit then see there is two KG2 kernels, one for 2.3.3 and one for 2.3.4, you have 2.3.4 so you want the one i mentioned above.
You flashed a insecure kernel (name for a kernel where ADB has root privalages) it seems, rather than one with CWM/auto rooting.
As far as ICS goes, its not really stable yet, and generally user beware. If you are not an advanced user I would advise against flashing it. If you must there are quite a few threads will full flashing guides, this one being the main one for samsung ICS leaks, or theres CM9, but again there are lots of bugs etc.
Thanks.
Just to clarify, what's the difference between all these?
CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

The XX_OXA_KG2 bold bit is a region code, so the same version number KG2 may be used for more than one region specific rom, it doesn't normally happen, and it doesn't normally matter, but in this case some of the roms are 2.3.3 and some are 2.3.4, as stated above.
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get home.
It works now, thanks for your help.

[Q] Virgin Mobile Galaxy S II questions

So I followed this guide to root my phone, since I'm on Virgin Mobile in Canada.
My only question is how the heck do I install custom ROMs or Kernels to the phone? I honestly can not figure that out.
Are there any supported by this phone? I9100-M, and I keep getting the error of:
Code:
E: signature verification failed
no matter how much I try updating via CF-ROOT.
So you've flashed your CF Root kernel via Odin? Green light, good to go?
When you boot to recovery what's the version #? Which kernel/rom are you trying to flash?
The M is the same as the "International version", it just came with Bell/Virgin firmware and an M tacked onto the end of the model #; you're in the right section.

Indeed I have, good sir. I've got Root abilities [LOVE IT] and I can do what I please... well, minus the custom ROMs.

Click to expand...

Trying to flash to? Or have at the moment? At the moment, booting to recovery gives me Android System Recovery 3e. The ROM I'm trying to flash is MIUI, Drunken Clam or MIUI based off CM9 though later on, if I don't like either, I was thinking I might flash a lighter ROM if they have worse battery life then the stock ROM.

That's the problem. That's the stock recovery, useless for flashing anything. I'm guessing you messed up the step to get rid of the yellow triangle and flashed a complete stock kernel back on rather than the zimage. As you've noticed you retain root, but don't have Clockwork Mod Recovery. You'll have to flash a kernel via Odin again. Good luck.

I'm still getting the same error even after reflashing it though, and Android System Recovery 3e is still showing up, even though I'm flashing it with the proper ROM...
I think you can try on some kernel other than CF-Root to achieve root. I had rooted my phone by flashing the speedmod kernel using odin. Then you can flash custom ROMs from the CWM recovery.
I went and installed the MIUI drunken clam since I re-rooted it and put on the insecure ROM on. I don't particularly like it, but I'm thinking either try something with a better battery life then stock (way better would be nice, I've got two batteries on the way for the phone, but no clue when they're showing up.) or simply go back to stock and start removing thing via Titanium Backup.
What would be the recommended ROM if you want the most out of your battery life? Are there anything I should watch out for on said ROM? Or what ROM would you recommend, personally? I've been looking for a good one that's nice enough for day to day, but not sickeningly sweet or something.
Going to a non-Samsung ROM can be a big jump. Especially considering that the MIUI you flashed is based on CM9 which is still "experimental", not all phone functionality has been successfully ported yet.
I'd recommend a Samsung based ROM first; which one? Not sure, I haven't been on a Samsung based ROM for a few months. I preferred lighter weight ROMs; the GingerMOD was good and is similar to an AOSP based ROM. People seem happy with Hyperdroid as well; it's not lightweight, but is a great ROM from what I've heard.
Stock to CM9/AOSP/MIUI is a big jump, and can be unforgiving at times, you have to be familiar with getting yourself out of trouble. All of the Samsung ICS leaked ROMs are also buggy as hell at the moment.

question regarding sayah 3.5.1 and with/without mic swap

Hello.
I just rooted my ATT GS2 I777 phone using a method over at galaxys2root.com. i then installed the latest kernel 3.5.1 Sayah WITHOUT mic swap. Can someone please tell me the difference between WITH and WITHOUT mic swap and what it is exactly?
I'm looking for a rom to install now and seem to be having issues finding one that isn't based off the 9100 phone even though they are listed in the I777 forums. I would like to install Serendipity9 or Galaxy Nexus ROMs but not sure if I needed the 3.5.1 WITH mic swap rom or not.
Please help.
Thanks.
With Without mike swap is for I777 stock roms and custom roms made from I777 stock as base, ie Semi. Mike swap is for roms made from I9100 base, or aosp roms.
It doesn't really matter though, because when you install a custom rom, it will also install the kernel that comes with the rom. If it doesn't come with your preferred kernel, then you can flash the kernel or your choice after you flash the rom of your choice.
I think you meant to say for your first word is "Without", correct?
I'm going to try to install Serendipity9 even though I can't find anything about the change log to see what kernel is included.

Yes. Fixed it, lol.
The kernel is CherryPicker. See here. I think it's been a while since the rom has been updated. I think Mikey is working on something else now.
I did get the Serendipity 9.4 installed and then ran Siyah 3.5.1 Kernel (with mic swap) and so far everything seems to be working ok.
Thank you for your help.
I would flash something else asap.. Here's a hint, anything it our development section!

Not sure what you are talking about.
I rooted my phone using their method (odin and siyah kernel). yes now my phone boots saying I9100 and the yellow triangle.
I then Installed Serendipity 9.4 Rom from their official site.
I then Installed Siyah Kernel 3.5.1 from here.
I didn't want to brick my phone by rooting and there are a lot of methods to do so and a lot of old information out on the forums.
What is wrong with what I did?
I plan on going to Jellybean and the latest siyah when the time comes when more stable.
I did see this post over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18859438&postcount=199
I was thinking about doing the below and following the instructions, but no description was there for what this actually did and I'm new to all this.
Odin3 One-click Downloader I-777 UCKH7 Stock + Root No Bootloaders
I would appreciate it if you can point me in the right direction on how to properly put the phone back and then how to properly root it again.
Well basically this site had a lot of great info and awesome devs. But other sites take their stuff, post links to download the roms and never give proper credit. As far as what yer asking, are u asking how to return to stock? If so, just Google XDA i777 download repository. Here's a link to it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20229527&postcount=46 I would go with the stock rooted 2.3.4 without boot loaders. Flash it with Odin. Or mobile Odin pro.

So if I just run Odin3 One-click Downloader I-777 UCKH7 Stock + Root No Bootloaders, that will properly put my phone back to factory + being rooted. Correct?
The only issue I have with my phone is it boots with an I9100 screen instead of the I777 screen. If I run the above with that properly show the I777 screen or not?
I'm guessing I have some bootloader on my phone since it is showing the I9100 screen??? That is why you guys are telling me to get that off there???

There's nothing wrong with what you did. You rooted your phone and installed a custom firmware without causing any problems. If you are satisfied with your phone as it is, do not flash back to stock just because of some of the posts here.
There are problems with GalaxyS2Root.com. Some of the files that are available there cause people to brick their phones, or have other problems. When the name comes up, people here react to it. That accounts for some of the posts here. But in your case, since you had no problems, and your custom flash went ok as well, not to worry.
Because you flashed a custom kernel using Odin when you rooted with the GalaxyS2Root method, you incremented the flash counter, which also causes the I9100 boot screen with the yellow warning triangle. That can be cleared with a USB jig, or with the application Triangle Away by codeworx which can be used only on ICS or above.

You did not flash I9100 bootloaders. Samsung was lazy, when they made the firmware for I777 they didn't update that image, so it still says I9100.
Oh, and I would suggest that you avoid GalaxyS2Root.com in the future for your own peace of mind.
Creepy,
Thanks again. I did send you a PM as well.
I don't know what a bootloader is and thought maybe the cause of the I9100 screen is due to a bootloader which may cause problems or something for future installs of Kernels and ROMs.
Since my phone is already rooted I plan to just continue to use this site for ROMs and Kernels. I'm still learning.

Yeah absolutely man! Sorry I was confused about your question. Thought u wanted to return to stock just to start over fresh. Didn't mean to confuse u or try to cause you any additional work. If it isn't broke, like creepy said, no need to do anything. good luck!

Thanks but it was the other guys that had me worried as they said to get rid fo that immedately.
I would start over fresh if needed but it looks like I'm ok anyway. I'll move to Siyah 4.1.1( or later) and Jellybean at a later time when more stable I guess.
