[Q] Yellow Triangle at boot - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

First off I see on this forum that people freak the hell out when you post something that may possibly have been posted at one point in the past, so let me assure you I've searched this forum and the internet in general looking for help with this problem, and found nothing helpful.
I read the FAQ, and the sections here:
I've rooted now why do I have an exclamation point on my loading screen?
Anytime you flash a non-stock kernel in download mode this will appear.
Work around method by Entropy512 to eliminate the exclamation on boot screen

Which linked me to a page that said:
Flash the stock kernel using Odin or Heimdall. Since this kernel autoroots the system image, you'll retain root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where do I get a stock Kernel? How exactly do I do this?
Then the next step says something that is completely greek to me, it doesn't seem to have much to do with fixing the Yellow Triangle problem.
I also scoured the internet looking for a fix and most of it involves the International version of the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to get rid of that annoying little triangle.

Try a jig

From my understanding I rooted this device and got it after root. Even though I retained stock ROM

No, you clearly did not read the FAQ and all stickies in this forum as one should do whenever posting to a forum on the Internet, since not only is your question answered in the FAQ, there's an entire guide as a separate sticky post at the top of this forum!

this will get rid of the yellow triangle but will not reset the counter.

I absolutely DID read the FAQ.
My question is not answered in the FAQ, and if you would have read it, you'd know that.
I've looked at every sticky in the forum, the one at the top does not address this.
Can I get a link to the sticky? If it's the one posted below that doesn't help me either. I've already rooted and installed Cyanogen 7 on my phone, now all I need to do is get rid of the yellow triangle
I mean, would it have taken you as long to help me out as it did to come on here and yell at me? I read over the forums for hours, did google searches, so I came here.
Isn't this a place to get help? If so, why are there dickheads just trying to **** in your cereal here?

Thank you Defnow, that was extremely helpful.

It worked, I now have a splash screen with no triangle, but unfortunately it doesn't get any further than that. I now just have a black screen after the spash screen. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Will using a jig get rid of the ROM and kernel I already have flashed onto my phone, or will it just remove the YT and reset the counter? I've been curious about this for a while now.

Only the yt and it will reset the counter.

Please use the new ZergRush method to root your phone. It's much safer and does not require kernel swap or flash anything. It will not show YT because you didn't flash anything at all.
As for OP, you need read MUCH more before start doing things like flashing ROM or kernel. Take any shortcut will only put you in a fast track to brick(ed) land which from what I saw is exactly where you are now.

The issue is you rooted in a way that tripped the flash counter.
Which is discussed in the return to stock thread.
And flashing the *stock kernel* back will remove the yellow triangle. Or using a *usb jig*.
Which is discussed.
Your problem is you flashed cm7 before you fixed the yellow triangle issue. The cm7 thread states that it does not support the *stock kernel*. To flash the *stock kernel* would remove cwm, which removes the ability to use cwm (kinda obvious, I know. Just trying to educate the obvious noobs). And since there's no way to boot cm7 on the i777 with stock kernel, you'd be stuck and have to use download mode and odin to return to stock, as you would have no other options.
From the above information, all from existing threads, you have two options.
Option 1
Buy a *usb jig*. Undoes tripping the flash counter and gets rid of the yellow triangle.
Option 2
Use odin to flash back to stock, which will completely remove cm7. The flash counter will still be tripped.
Obviously the *usb jig* will be easier to use and will undo tripping the flash counter. Though it costs money, you have to wait for it to ship, and so far at&t has not been caring about a tripped flash counter.
Thank you for doing research before posting. Understand you read the answer and just did not get it. So when you post and say you've read the stickys and it's not covered, when we know it is, what are we to say? The information is in there. Literally there is a step by step write up dealing with removing the yellow triangle.

So... let me get this straight.
1. You didnt read the FAQs or stickies that CLEARLY fix/cure/answer your question.
2. Decided to post a thread asking how to get rid of the yellow triangle and for a stock kernel.
3. Didnt read or click on the two posts above this one (that Im quoting) that was posted 45 and 40 minutes before this post.
4. Decided to flame the ones that posted in this thread to help you by calling them "dickheads" and use a horrible analogy to sum things up.
Did I miss anything? You have been here for 9 months and only 4 posts (all of them in this thread) so Im assuming that you do reading here and not posting... so you should have read the FAQs and stickies at the top of the forums. Its not a good idea to flame people for trying to help you. Its not their fault that you didnt read what you were supposed to, or for not reading the two posts above yours that actually point you in the right direction.
Infraction issued due to flaming.

Ohh Heavenly XDA Fascinate forums please guide my rooting and CWM install!

Hello....
So i found a guy on craigslist to trade my Droid 2 for the Fasicnate, drove thirfty miles to his house and listend to him freak out for 35 mins as i explained the benifits of my droid 2 and it being rooted and he seriously begain hyperventelating because he was dead straight afraid of being arrested........ I was about to just.... i dont know, the word run came to mind... Anyway.
WHat a beautiful phone, i mean it you guys have got something here, and im glad i added this to my growing list of android device's this is my fifth since my first love The G1.
Anyways,
I presumed and though i could install Cyanogenmod on it that was the immediant reason i got it, i didnt do any reaseachr and now know that u can but it runs really ruff and isnt supported... so.
I modded via this cyanogen wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Fascinate:_Rooting
i got all the way to the part about installing rom manager and flashing CWM,
However i went to do this (yes im rooted) and all i get is when i flash cwm and i try to reboot into cwm from rom manager to make a backup is i get to the samsung 2e recovery screen ..
A little more research i see something that i need to install or excuse me i need a program called odin, and i need the cwm packaged via this thread but the CWM package is no longer hosted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
But, one im not completly sure that is what i need to do and two im seein what i think is a bunch of diff versions of baseband like D101 ect However i see on mine that the last of my baseband is Dh12 actually its all s:i500.04 v.dh12
SHould i be downgrading here? And its best to assume while i have rooted and taken the virginity of the G1, Eris, Droid, Droid 2 Droid X and now this beyond what i have described here is my limited experience with this phone.
Also bear in mind that this phone was factory reset when i got it, and was 100% virgin. It is now rooted but that is it. I really wanted to get back to "my roots" like my G1 and have a fully modable phone from kernal on up and was stoked to get this. But im lost and i cant seem to find much help else where, or what appears to be people telling me to reroot and i know that is incorrect.
Can you all point me in the right direction please!
My sincere apprecation and thanks for your help and acceptace of my sporatic typeing.
Don't have a chance to read this atm but before you get flamed..you should post this in the general or Q and A section instead..

First, welcome to the Fascinate forums. Second, please try to faimilariaze yourself with the rules here. This thread should have gone in Q&A and you are quite likely to get flamed for it eventually.
As for your questoin-- We don't have a fully functioning AOSP, CM6, or 7 yet but what we have is pretty close. If you can live without MMS, Camcorder, and BT headset then you should give one them a shot. If not, stick with one of the Touchwiz builds such as Nitro's Evil Fascination or Adrylnalyn's Superclean.
Nitro has linked you to all the necessary software. As for using Odin, please reference this thread.

Nitro always looking out! One of our most valuable members I might add.
I would strongly reccommebd flashing Nitro's Evil Fascination Froyo rom and perhaps one of his themes once you get that far. You won't regret it. Trust me. Super sexy and super fast and he's very friendly and knowledgable. Keeps all his work updated on a regular basis too. Good luck and congrats on your new Fascinate!

Got all the links you could ever ask for from nitro. Just install Odin on your comp and install the Samsung drivers. Then just go to the link for the older cwm and d/l the necessary file.
Remove battery from the phone and while you're holding the volume down.button plug the phone into.your.computer. it'll show a yellow android and say downloading.
Click PDA and choose the file you downloaded for cwm 2.5 and click start. Once it.says pass on Odin you're done.
Even easier, get one of the packagaes from one of these threads it includes adryns froyo rom, the modem for.froyo and the recovery. I don't feel like finding the link but if you get that it's easy its just one big file that you flash with Odin (the same.way you do with cwm) and when its done you got a froyo fascinate with a solid touchwiz rom from adryn

As for the flaming i could care less it shows lack of maturity and what someone wants to bash me for is simply a waste of time. I dont care what some moron in his moms basement who is jumping from tab to tab from porn, to there wow or pokemon fetish and XDA. One would hope because of the intregrity here they would get banned.. Anywho.
And lastly the reason for posting here is because i didnt figure that the forum mentioned was classified for my question because it has nothing to do with "general" and everything to do with "development".. So, my apoligies if i was wrong and ill attempt to look a little better next time.
Thank you.

Hey Mortland,
Welcome to these forums. I am still fairly new here at XDA. Just to clarify and help you understand what everyone was referring to. I believe if I read them correctly, the rules about the Development section say posts and especially new threads in the development section should be limited to things that are directly related to development of a ROM, kernel, or MOD. This is so the development forum is used for improvements to existing ROMs, kernels, or MODS, or development of new ROMS, kernels, or MODS so the developers doing this work do not have to wade through a laundry list of threads or non-development questions in order to get the information they need. So if you have questions about development, or want to report a bug or problem you have discovered with a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then you come here and post. If it is a question on how to install or use a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then I guess it is supposed to go over in the Q&A section. I know it can seem kind of confusing, so the only reason for me posting is to hopefully help clear up any of the confusion. Hope this has helped, and definitely follow nitrogliceryne's advice and help. Good luck.
Mods and devs,
Sorry if this long post has cluttered things up even more. Just trying to help.

Can't we just request that MOD move it to the Q&A section? Especially since some good links were posted there? No sense being a wanker about it, except that it can be fun if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I know it makes all the "experienced" users feel good to bash every new guy that posts in the Development Thread but something really should have occurred to the community at large by now:
If this is happening something like 15 times per day, maybe the thread title should be renamed to Developers ONLY or Not for Q&A (or something like that)...although I'm kind of guessing that it's an auto-naming thing that they have set up for each new device that gets listed on the forums, so that might not be an option.
Usually I'm not very into getting threads moved when they're placed where they are but this thread is just straight ridiculous. Hyperventilating, seriously?
We need to have some sort of HTML implemented that allows any user to click the button and flag the thread for being moved. Not flagged for being inappropriate or reporting, just flagged for need of being moved to another section.

I want to root and run a custom ROM on my device. Mine will be brand new from Vodafone, so what is the first thing I should do? Any replies are much appreciated.

3. unlock the sim on your phone using the app from the market

Yes. You must wipe/factory reset before flashing a custom rom when coming from stock.

My advice to you, read, read then read some more, if you don't even know what CF means, that is a sure indicator that you have not read enough.
If your interested in rooting, visit the Galaxy S II Original Android Development forum and read, trust me, it would be for your benefit that you understand exactly what you are doing, asking questions while doing it is not the way to go, things may go wrong (very rare), but it happens.
And everyone here has told you how to root but no one has mentioned the importance of the Backup of the EFS folder, it should be the first thing on agenda after rooting.
A couple of days reading the guides etc is far more valuable than a custom rom .
Unless you are one who belives its best to go blindly into the unknown .

I have heard of Chainfire, he was the first to root, right? I just hadn't head the abbreviation before. I'm reading non-stop before I do anything. I have a desire on 2.3, so I know my way around CWM. I still need to learn how to use KIES and ODIN. I certainly don't think going in blindly is the way to go at all. Not since this is an early upgrade anyway!
I've also seen a USB chip the resets the Samsung counter and removes the dreaded YTOD (Yellow Triangle Of Doom). Will I be able to remove that through any other way, ie splash screen/boot screen?

Did you flash custom firmware or a custom kernel? If so try flashing stock firmware and follow the prepare your phone to return for warranty guide. Worse case wouldbe if you have access to download mode you flash stock using Odin on your computer.

[Q] Problem trying to get rid of CWM triangle and GT-I9100 symbols

I'm a noob and I already seach for a similar thread before making this one but it didn't work for me. I have the CWM installed on my S2 and I want to get rid of the triangle and the GT-9100 symbols.
I find this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823&page=7 and they say on the post #64 that if you install the Entropy 512's kernal this will go away, so I installed the 02/07 kernal and I reboot and it shows the same symbols. What do you think I'm doing wrong?? Thx for your help

If you don't want to mess with all that, you can just go to ebay and purchase a usb jig. Search for "galaxy usb jig"
CyberManiaK I think you didn't understand!!! Cause I dont see anything related in the link you post, only my question and the one of the usb jig!! Thx a lot gsrrr!! But that only solves the triangle symbol or it gets rid of both the triangle and the GT-9100 symbols??

To the OP:
I have no idea where you saw anything indicating that flashing my kernel would get rid of it - flashing ANY custom kernel through Odin will trigger the triangle warning, not get rid of it.
And you clearly didn't bother to search at all, since this subject has ITS VERY OWN STICKY THREAD in the General forum.

I, however, seem to have been given an Odin I9100 kernel, rather than the SGH-I777 kernel that I was searching for (a friend helped me find it who roots every phone he has). I installed the Odin kernel, without selecting flash and now I am stuck at the load screen where it displays [Samsung Galaxy SII : GT-I9100] along with an exclamation point. It has been sitting like this for around 45 minutes now with no load.
Could someone explain (or link) a simple thread that they know about that could allow me to restore and start again? I'd rather not have a $500 brick sitting in my house right now. Again, I'm sorry that this is likely a repost, but I cannot understand most of the jargon that is being said in the threads that I have found.

Thank you, if all goes well I will delete this thread to reduce spam of stupid noob questions listed on the website. Oh wait, I forgot. I read both of these threads. I searched the keywords I needed, I scoured the threads for 6 pages and to no avail. The only threads I saw had responses like this. I doubt that constitutes as viable help. I even searched outside of the forums...
I actually had a similar problem not even 2 days ago. The best advice I got was to research CWM (Clockwork recovery) and learn how to flash through it. The XDA wiki is also a great tool to pick up on some of the more basic concepts, like what a kernel even does (communicates the software to the hardware).
hmmmm.....
i wonder why everyone says read the stickies.....
maybe because there are such juicy morsels of self-help information like:
(pay attention to the first link, i have spoonfed....its a whopper)

Wow I wish I saw this thread before I figured out how to flash through CWM, the process would of been much simpler.
Search search search people.. please.
