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?

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..

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 Guys,
Recently I rooted and flashed with the custom Kernel on my SGS II. But now decided to go back to the official ROM.
So my question is, when I flash it with official ROM (through ODIN). Will the custom Kernel be replaced by the official Kernel that came with the official ROM?
Thank you in advance to the kind soul that replied.
Yes.
Sent from Galaxy S2
Yes, if you needs custom kernel again then you have to flash it separately via Odin again.

If you don't have jig, I suggest to flash to ics first, use triangleaway and then flash back to stock with mobile odin

No official ics releases yet. They were just suggesting a round about way of getting rid of the triangle by flashing a leaked version of ics then using an app to remove the triangle then use something like CWM or mobile Odin to flash back to a GB Rom.
Like I said long winded process.
Just flash an official firmware. Then flash cfroot kernel for that version of firmware. Then if you want to get rid of the triangle use a USB jig available for a few dollars off eBay.

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...

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
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.

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...

Hey guys well at the moment I am running stock ICS 4.0.3, 19100T, IML74K.DULP9 as build number. But I am having troubles with the phone and I need to return for warranty, so I need to re root my device and use Triangle Away before going back to stock vodafone for my warranty and I'm just wondering what the best way is to do this all, like step by step guide would be useful! Thanks in advance
The easiest way would be to flash Siyah kernel with Odin.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
After that, get rid of the triangle and reset the flash counter with that app.
Then download stock firmware and flash with Odin.
Thats it.

Also before unrooting remember to delete all traces of applications requiring root to work. I suggest to search the forum as I think I saw a guide regarding this.

So for some reasons, I decided to go back to stock ROM on my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T, but the problem is I installed CyanogenMod using the CM Installer and it installed CM for I9300 onto my phone (which has the original model number of GT-I9300T). And as I decided to reset the flash counter, TriangleAway detected my device's model as GT-I9300 but not GT-I9300T. So I have 2 questions about this problem:
1_ Can I just flash the stock ROM like how I flashed CM Roms without resetting the flash counter? I'm not going on a warranty or anything but I just want to go back to stock ROM.
2_ If I continue to reset the flash counter even TriangleAway detected my phone's model as GT-I9300, is it ok? Will my phone be bricked?
Thank you anyone for replying!
Hough I can't say what will happen if u try to run triangle away, I can be pretty sure that flashing stock ROM without resetting the counter won't cause any harm other than the warranty
Sent from my GT-I9300
Firstly, u can flash the gt-i9300 firmware on the gt-i9300t phone. Ppl had success in doing so online. Also, flashing stock rom from sammobile will not trigger the flash counter so you have no worries on tat.
Thanks guys a lot!
Thank you guys, I will try to flash stock ROM without resetting the flash counter first
Oh and there's one more thing, if I flash a stock ROM then will Clockworkmod still working?
Stock firmware will replace your current recovery with stock.
