You can easly remove the yellow triangle reflashing an original samsung kernel via Odin. You can take it from sammobile. However the counter in download mode will not be reset. But dont worry, no one will look in download mode (personal experience).
Or, you can use a jig usb. You can take if from ebay.

Flash stock rom for your phone via Odin and reset custom rom counter to zero with |USB jig .
Non Samsung or custom rom or root or custom rom counter above zero = no warranty .

A jig will cost you about $5 or 3€ ... not much. Check Ebay and Amazon.

How to reset counter with the Jig, instructions on building one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068522 If you don't want to build one, get it from eBay.
No other way to reset counter as far as I know (but I'm a noob! ).
Here's a good thread for flashing stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110160
There are two ways, I did the way listed in the first post. Pretty easy even though there are more steps.
Follow the instructions EXACTLY and you should be okay. Hope this helps.

hey neerajganga
you said triangle away worked, the reason i said it was not tested and highly dangerous was because no one even tried on i9100g so thats why.my question is this will it work with i9100g with rootbox ics with cm based kernel?
also eng.mohamed851
are you in ics or gb because triangle away works only for ics.
Triangle Away does not work on I9100g.. It says MAGIC HEADER NOT FOUND.
May be we need to request its developer to make it compatible with I9100G also..

get a jig or google how to create your own usb jig. this is the only way
Why do people continue to post offtopic crap in development sections?
This forum is for developments, not questions or general discussion or the "I cant use search button" forum
Questions go in Q&A.
Discussions go in General.
Developments, ie ROMS, Kernels, Mods, Reference etc goes in appropriate device dev forum.
How hard is that to comprehend???

How to install old bootloader and reset counter?
I have a Galaxy s2 GT-I9100 and unsuccessfully attempted to root the phone and the counter is on 5.
Current state of the phone is that it can only access download mode.
Tried a jig, that didn't work. Next tried to install old bootloader using Odin this also failed.
Initially the phone was running ICS and I believe I must have attempted to install an incompatible root kernel.
My intention was to reset the binary counter and then use Kies to restore the original firmware.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

1)should be on a stock rom (GB or ICS) pertained to ur region.
2) u must be unrooted for sure.
3) ur binary count should be Zero (0) , and u should remove the Triangle by using 'triangle away'app.
with all the above done, u can send to repair without any issue for sure

1. Sun90, already said it in his point no 3. Use triangle away app, to reset binary counter: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
2. Then download the firmware for your country here: www.sammobile.com/firmware/
3. Flash the firmware via Odin.
4. Your phone will be back to unrooted stock firmware.

Don't forget to reset binary counter using the triangle away app before unrooting

You've mentioned that you've flashed various roms... Did they include different kernels? Before sending it for reparation, you could always try a different kernel. Perhaps your mom's wifi problem is kernel related. I'm not saying this the solution, but in my humble opinion it's worth a try before proceeding with the steps above.

Odin will not increment the 'downloads counter'

My Galaxy came with 4.0.3 official Baseband I9100DDLPA
If i root it, can i bring it back to stock without samsung coming to know?
If i install a custom ROM, can i bring it back to stock without samsung knowin it?
Yeah just flash stock rom from sammobile and get rid of the triangle if there is any. Last time my friend brought his ace back to samsung for warranty due to a hardbrick he caused they happily accepted it and told him that the brick was most likely caused by a corrupted rom :/ After that they fixed it and all was fine
I also advise you to flash stock modem.
I got my phone few days back, everything went fine, no problems with service center.
