Yellow Triangle.. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey sorry if I've posted this in the wrong area . But it is a question. Has anyone used the free yellow triangle removal tool with success?
I have the triangle but have read the warning that comes with it and its slightly putting me off using it after all I don't want a £500 paper weight.

I've used it several times zero problems.
That's not a guarantee though! I suppose there is an element of risk.
If you're not happy using the app get yourself a jig.

I bought a jig of tbay but it only drop the phone into recovery mode .. does not remove the counter or the triangle ... i was told the jig only works on older kernals.
Ive got the latest CWM installed dont know how true that advice was but it wouldnt work hence me asking if anyone had used the removal tool .,
Thanks for the relpy though

Yeah you need an older boot loader for the jig. Check intratechs thread in original android development.
But seriously the app has worked flawlessly for me

Are you talking about the yellow warning triangle when i9100 boots up?
I have that too, and always thought it was normal.

A USB Jig shouldn't be forcing your phone into recovery mode, it should force your phone into download mode. Anyway, it won't reset your flash counter because you probably have a new bootloader. I had a new bootloader and had to flash an old bootloader through Odin in order to reset the flash counter.

Cheers guys I've now sorted both custom count and the triangle using the free app ...many thanks for your input gately appreciated guys

It only shows if you have a rooted phone that's not an original kernel from what I've learned while reading the forum

You're not the first person to get a bootloop by flashing that unroot. The files you will need to recover your phone are in the download repository linked in my signature.
I couldn't download the file from the GalaxyS2Root site. Could you please open the tar file and list the contents back here so I can see what's in it. I think it might be only a zImage, but not sure.
Gee, if only you had spent some time searching and reading...
Ok I got it to pass the screen with the samsung S2 Gt-I9100 with the triangle and flash a custom rom. But when it rebbots why does it still load up the same gt-i9100 screen?

because you didnt read the FAQ
How about using a jig would that get rid of the triangle on startup?
Don't use Jig, your phone will blow up; I think. I remember a thread on here about using a jig, you should look for it before proceeding any further.

Buy one off eBay for like £2, and plug it in when the phone is off and it will wipe the custom binary counter and remove the yellow triangle.

Flash an ics rom
Root it
Download and install Triangle Away app by chainfire either from the playstore(paid) or from his thread(free)
Check if everything is okay and click the holy button

Hi.
Thanks for the replies.
I bought JIG USB and now I'm waiting for a package.
but this phone is freezed on splash screen - did jig usb help with this?
As long as you're running the 'old' bootloader, the jig should work. If you find it doesn't, probably means you're running the 'new' bootloader (you'll only know when you receive/try the jig obviously). In that case, use Triangle Away or flash the old bootloader in order for the jig to work.

Rooting the galaxy and skins

Hey I have a question for you guys I read somewhere about something called a flash counter which gives information to samsung that you have tampered with their rom (when they check it of course). So my question is by using SGS3 toolkit 2.0 does this happen. Let's say I have problems with the phone will the warranty still be valid. Also about installing skins. Do I have to root in order to install let's say the ICS Domination.
Thanks in advance and sorry for asking such noob questions

I actually have one more question. If I decide can I "unroot" the phone, just get it back to factory settings without Samsung finding out I had messed with the phone.

Chain fire has the app triangle away but I do not believe verizon version is supported yet. That app clears the counter. What triggers it? I unlocked with casual and rooted. Then flashed clean rom. When I check my counter it reads 0 and everything says official.
Triangle away worked for my gs3.i don't know it it will for the gn2.

you did not say anything about flash counter except for your thread title...to get rid of the yelly triangle you must odin back to stock, to reset the flash counter you must purchase the app triangle away from play store.

When I look at the app details verizon I650 is not on the list. Does it still work for us? Reason why I ask if you read app instructions it says that the app could hard brick your device. That makes me nervous when my device does not show supported. My counter still shows 0 and official but I figured this app will come in handy or at least support chain fire.
Or since we have our bootloader unlocked it is possible?

Galaxy S3 doesn't start - only download mode

Hi all guys, i'm new here and i need your help.
One day ago i installed the Custom ROM "Super Nexus Beta5" on my galaxy. It worked for a day but now, when i turn on my phone, i see this (attachment)
And i can only turn on in download mode.
If i flash some firmware with odin, i have this error: There is no Pit-Partition.
Can you help me?
Sorry for bas english, Thanks.
If there is no pit, you need motherboard replacement because of eMMC failure.
