Hello guys,

no, usb jig does not work with the new ICS boot loader.
Flash a GB boot loader then USB jig it?

This.
confirmed that I can use the old bootloader that I used with gb roms??
Thanks
Yes, you can.
But you may have to put the ics boot loaders back on afterwards, if your phone won't boot or is unstable, but it flashing the boot loaders shouldn't raise the counter anyway.

my phone i9100g ,can't not reset flash counter,any idea can fix???
Does it boot into downloadmode when you plug in the jig while it's powered off?
And just not reset the counter?
Check Intratech's stock ROM thread for the "old bootloader" and flash it.
I can't use a "jib" either...

I bought a samsung galaxy s2 today and rooted it with "odin" and "s2 root".
I installed the insecure.tar rooted it and installed original.tar
Then I installed ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4 and Rom Manager from the marketplace, I rebooted into recovery mode and tried out clockworkmod and it worked fine but whenever I reboot my sgs2 it shows me this yellow triangle again.
Did I do something wrong? Is my phone "bricked"?
Your phone is not bricked. It is not bricked if you can boot into download, it certainly isn't bricked if it boots normally. I like to be more helpful with noobs, and would normally explain the triangle, but I'm in a bad mood, so search yourself.

the yellow triangle just warns you that your ROM is not from sammy.
Just means that you aren't running an official kernel/rom. Nothing to worry about. To get rid of it either flash back to an official rom and kernel using Odin or use a USB jig and an old bootloader.
If you have no jig use cf's method: install the correct cf kernel, then flash the original kernel back, then extract the zImage from your cf kernel put it on your sd card, go into cwm manager and flash the extracted cf zImage as a kernel and your triangle will be gone. There are more detailed instructions on his thread.

Not the best 1st post
Welcome.
It's alway good to search before asking questions. The sgs2 has been discussed on xda for a fair while now so I reckon just about anything you would want to know will already be posted somewhere.
Don't know if you have already found chainfires cfroot thread it's the easiest way to root your phone and all the info you need is in the 1st few posts.

Hi, its incredible how helpful some people are...
Anyways, if your planning on having a custom rom on the GS2 learn to love that yellow triangle. Sadly thats the way samsung devices are design to annoy users of custom roms.

If you are one ICS, ChainFire made an app to remove the triangle and reset the flash counter.

Dont think anyone is trying to be unhelpful. People understand more when they have answered the same question many times or had to read it over and over again.
OP appears to be intelligent, rooted and flashed cm, all without asking so I'm guessing they were just having a moment.
BTW reading what has been written about that new triangle removing app before using it is vital unless you're happy to brick your device if you get it wrong or Samsung change something.
Anyway happy flashing.

Guys... I'm planning to give my mobile to the samsung service to claim the guarantee coz my mobile home button have become very hard to press...
So I backuped the official Rom which came with my handset... Even flashed official Kernel to remove the recovery.. but Root didn't even Removed ... how is that possibl...? Is there any way?
I even worked with Triangle away to remove the flash counter and triangle...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
just reflash the offical rom, from odin and everything will be removed and will be stock
Are you able to perform any actions that require root? Or are those apps just there, without the ability to perform their designated functions (example: restoring a back-up via Titanium Back-up)?

well if you flash orignal firmware via odin the counter will not be increase
counter increase only After root the firmware.
flash Only rom it will remove yellow icon and will not increase Counter
I think the firmware which you are flashing is not full wipe.Follow this:
1)Flash lpq or any other ics firmware and let it reboot and see if the root is still present if not
2)Now flash Indian firmware which was shipped with your phone.

Once used triangle away to reset flash counter then go to recovery and do a factory reset(full wipe), remove battery, go into download mode, flash DDKL1 full firmware of some 300 mb and don't flash anything else(flashing stock firmware don't increase flash counter
So i updated my S2 to ICS 4.0.3,and it basicly just sucked and it had alot of bugs still.
So i flashed a stock XWKI8 kernel and went back to GB 2.3.5 , will this void my warranty?

Going to stock what came with the phone will not void warrenty.
Rooting with cfroot and getting counter go up will.

So i flashed a insecure kernel and rooted it, the guide i followed said that if i flashed the stock kernel the boot triangle would go away.so i did that and my root disapeared and in download mode it says
custom binary download : yes 1 count oe sonething like that
Have i voided my warranty?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yes warranty void.
You can use triangle away if you used stock ics from checkfus or sammobile.
It will reset counter to zero.
But for that you have to flash stock ics again, triangleaway works on ics only. On ics boot loader.
Don't use intratech's versions he uses old boot loaders..

But i flashed stock gb 2.5 without root or anything, no triangle

Yes, void. There are ways to reset this though. They're plastered all over the forums. Search for them.
flash CF-Root custom kernel, install TriangleAway application, reset counter, flash official firmware kernel back, and you have your warranty back.

He's already back on Gingerbread, this won't work as TriangleAway only works on ICS. He'd have to flash back up to ICS, first, then all that.
You could buy an USB Jig, flash an old bootloader if necessary then plug that thing in and your counter is reset.

Same here happen to me when I flashed the leaked version of ICS last few month.
This is what I did:
Flash XXKI3 GB 2.3.4 (with old bootloader)
Use USB Jig to reset the binary counter (will remove Triangle as well)
Flash DXKL3 GB 2.3.6 (now back on warranty)
Hope this help & good luck...
Hi everyone.
Ive had my phone rooted for a while and ive been flashing allsorts over the past few months (kernels,roms,mods...)
I had the yellow triangle on boot when I first flashed the CFroot kernel (like everyone does)...
But somewhere along the line id managed to keep my phone rooted and somehow remove the triangle!
No matter what I flashed the triangle was still gone...
Unfortunatly today I had to 'ODIN' flash my stock rom again cuz all my backups were saying 'md5 mismatch' and thus the warning symbol appears when i root my phone again...
Does anyone know how I can root my phone and keep that triangle away? Without using the Triangle away app...
Thanks

Try using triangle away if youre using ICS, search for it. or flash a stock kernel that matches your firmware

Have a look at this thread, post 2 will tell you how to remove the yellow triangle then return CWM to full working order. If you flashed using chainfires CF root this will sort it for you.

You will need the stock kernel from this post that fits your phone so make sure you download the correct one

Try re-reading post 3, which is right above yours.
If you care to learn... the triangle is a visual indicator that a kernel that was NOT signed by Samsung is currently flashed to your phone.
So you can root your phone by flashing a CF-root kernel (linked in post 3), then re-flash a stock Samsung signed kernel (also in that post) to remove the triangle, and you will retain root. (That will NOT, however, remove the flash count. But you didn't ask about that...)
if u use a GB Rom u cand remove with ISB JIG,but before install with ODIN an old BOOTLOADER. i.m not sure if USB JIG work on ICS. u can give a try.enjoy.

It CAN... but only if you are running the old bootloader. The old bootloader still works with ICS.

@match_stick : now only thing is to get an USB JIG, and type on google : i9100 old bootloader,download and flash with odin.first,search on youtube: how to use USB JIG on i9100 . good luck
What you ask is simple and that is what you must have done....
Flash the official kernel back after cfroot, it removes the triangle.
But remember, the counter stays that's why people use jig, triangle away.
Thanks everyone. I think I must have flashed a secure kernel again at some point thats probably why I had No triangle. ...
But i was using Siyah for a while...no triangle.

If you had flashed Siyah with a method OTHER than Odin, then it would not show the triangle.
The triangle (and by extension, the count) only registers non-Samsung signed kernel flashes that are done via Odin. Sorry, I forgot to mention that before.
you can use a usb jig if you have access to it
Its better if u use triangle away....just make sure ur already using ICS rom...
cheers !
