[Q] How to get bootloaders? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just flashed Indian ICS on my SGSII and have also rooted it. Now, I want to reset the binary counters and remove the yellow triangle with the help of USB JIG. The problem is that newer bootloader is preventing me to use it. So, obviously, I want an old bootloader.
SO THE QUESTION IS - Where can I get it from?

From here

Why don't you just use Triangle Away?

for this moment, it wont be possible except u downgrade whole rom to gingerbread as if u flash old bootloader (gb based), the ICS will maybe not booting up anymore.
u should reset all those thing before you are upgrading to ICS, well i never had any of those YT/BC if we know the way around it.
the only option : whole rom downgrade to GB, but honestly, i am not sure if it is plausible to do with odin.

this will/maybe will only remove yellow triangle, not binary counter as binary counter still need to be reset with usb jig in which only in old bootloader (gb) is possible as samsung patched the exploit already afterwards

You can safely use the old GB bootloader with ICS.

As bored_stupid already said, old bootloader works fine on ICS. Many have done it. And TriangleAway DOES reset the counter.
You should read and research more before trying to correct others.

i am sorry as i thought he was asking regarding the G version, not the non G, as in G version, even triangleaway seems to be not working.

I could use it but I like to do things that i can't find.
I knew about triangle away but if I just take it as the ultimate thing to do, it'd prevent me from learning new things.

@Creezalird...you were exactly right for the G variant as of very less development for it.

Anyone having the knowledge ...
Will flashing bootloaders change something?
I mean, they provides the commands for the device while booting, right?. So..?
Also, flashing it by selecting PDA? What if I select Bootloader in Odin?
UPDATE - GOT THE ANSWER
You can select any one - PDA or Bootloader
You can flash the new bootloader again but that won't change anything except disabling usage of USB JIG

Bottom line; don't mess with bootloaders unless you have a specific reason for wanting to flash them. For example, you've messed around with stock ICS & you're switching to CM9 and current bootloader doesn't work or you want to use a jig to reset the flash counter & it won't work with current bootloader.
Flashing a bootloader 'just to see what happens' is asking for a dead phone.

Dude! I know that. Bootloaders are the reason for the device to boot.
Well, I have never used a Custom ROM plus what if I flash the old bootloader, use the JIG and again flash the previous one.
Still, it may have risk, right? But for me, every task in this universe has the same...so that means you can't dare to try anything??
