It's not really a problem. The triangle doesn't affect you really. It's just an indicator that you the kernel you last flashed while the phone was in download mode was not signed by Samsung.
If it bothers you that much, you can either:
a) flash your stock kernel back while your phone is in download mode (via Odin/Heimdall/whatever)
b) use a USB jib, assuming your bootloader is old enough that a jig works.
Otherwise, you can just ignore the triangle. It doesn't affect your usage or performance of the phone whatsoever.
Agreed, I can confirm that the triangle and binary count does not affect the operation of your phone in anyway. I still have mine and see no reason to remove it at present.

Edit 10/11/12
I received my jig from mobiletechvideos.com today. It worked as advertised. It reset the triangle, as well reset the custom binary download count to No, and reset current binary to "Samsung Official" even though I am running entropy512's 10092011 kernel.
Here is a link to a video, mine works just like the video

Has anyone tested a usb jig with the att gs2 yet?
It should work the same as with the i9100 version, but I was just wondering if anyone who has the phone that might have a jig and tested it yet.
I just tested my jig (I am rooted and had the triangle on my att version) and my count now says NO and the yellow triangle is gone.
Thanks, I wanted to just make sure before I bought our made one.

If I recall correctly, there are a few different possible resistor values for jigs? Which one is yours?
Now that I have a device with the bootloader counter, I need to get some resistors and finally open that package of MicroUSB breakouts from Sparkfun.
I'm considering buying the SGS II in the next week, what exactly does the Jig do? I didn't see much in terms of why you would need this for rooting so I figured I would inquire.
It will put your phone into download mode as long a your bootloaders are not corrupted (which can be done by other methods also), but more importantly it resets the binary flash counter to zero and removes the yellow triangle from the boot splash screen if you have a custom modified kernel or ROM flashed to your sgs2 phone.
All in all not a necessary device, but very useful to those who flash and modify their phone

So if I am not mistaken it's just a way to prevent AT&T Support from visually seeing you have at somepoint flashed a different kernel and theoretically voided the warranty.

Oh that wouldn't bother me in the least considering how rarely I reboot my device. Thanks, I appreciate the help. I anticipate that the community will have roms churned out left and right for this device based off the ease of hacking and the number of ROMs that were available for the Captivate.

my captivate jig worked on the S II
I think we will see a few people with old jigs that do work and old jigs that don't and it will be because slightly off the mark resistance. I bet those whose old jig that does not work will just need to tweak their jig by an ohm or two.
By the way I ordered a jig from mobiletechvideos.com yesterday and I will report back on if it works when I get it here.

Do you recall how many ohms your jig is and what wattage? I built mine with 301 ohms @1/4 Watts. Would unbrick Captivate to DL mode, but not soft-bricked Infuse. It would put working Infuse into DL mode though?????

Hi..
Which is the best option to root SGS2...? cfroot...or super one click...?.. What is the difference between these two...?...please help...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Cfroot. There's not much difference, other than Cfroot is a Kernel that's being flashed, not a program to exploit your phone. Cfroot is a much simpler process.

I found this video quite simple to follow; youtube.com/watch?v=6BkcEc-t-QQ&feature=player_embedded
agreed cfroot has done me very well
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Just use cfroot. As of now it's the best option out there.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Agreed with all above, always use CF Kernel all the way, no mess, no fuss! Job done in seconds. Plus you also get a free pretty warning triangle at boot up!
CFRoot was as simple as 30 second, literally 3 clicks. You keep your settings and that lovely little triangle is just beautiful to behold

if you are planning on using ics you can get rid of the triangle with "triangle away" works like a charm ^_^

Do you just turn off, remove battery for a few seconds, reinsert, insert jig and boot into download mode and it's gone as if by magic?

This worked for me using my SainSmart Jig from Amazon:-
1) Power Off Using menu option.
2) Wait 10-15 seconds, inserted Jig.
3) Phone auto powered on and went into Download mode, displaying "Erasing Download Information Succeeded"
4) Power Off.
5) Remove Jig
Phone Powered On without any Yellow Triangle.
.... just like magic
There's lots of reports that the jig won't work (I'm one of them)on ICS with the new bootloader. But others have success with it. Triangle Away at present is the only way to remove it efficiently and quickly. You can get it free here on XDA. Just make sure you still thank Chainfire for his hard work in some way.

If the jig won't work with ICS, simply flash the old bootloader. Easy fixed.

Hi guys,
I am new to the forums, and want to root my galaxy s II so i can get pure ics running on my mobile. I noticed that everyone has said cf-root is the best to go with, after looking online I believe i found a good tutorial:
jayceooi.com/2011/08/04/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-cf-root-video
If a senior member could confirm this, that would be great.
Thanks
Confirmed, that's a nice and clear tutorial. Can't go wrong with that one.

Thanks, btw you wouldnt happen to know any particular tutorials for an ics rom , that are relatively easy to follow?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 You can find the ICS roms just above the post titled ++++++ [Frankenstein Firmwares] +++++++
Get you ROM from here and just use the same method but all your doing different is using another file in place of the kernel one.

I've seen this in a few threads, but I haven't seen an explanation of what it means. And, why is it important?
Anybody?
Basically every time you flash something unofficially onto your phone, be it recovery, rom, kernel etc a counter increases, this counter is visible when you are in download mode.
It could (but in my experience Samsung don't really care) void your warranty if this counter is higher than 0

Triangle Away helps you reset the Flash Counter back to 0 so that you can claim that the phone remains unmodified. To check whether or not it worked, Just check for "Status" in the About Phone section in Settings. It should NOT be Modified. Follow the instructions given in the thread and you should be fine
Watch the video below triangle away is part of it.

Hi!
Is there any way to find the date that I first modified the software in my phone?
The thing is my screen has been worn out (by my case cover) extremely fast and I want the warranty to be covered, that also means that Samsung is currently saying that it might be the software change that has caused this (no, I'm not kidding).

Omg, never give rooted or modified in any way phone for the warranty! They can cancel it and you will do nothing more.
Also there is few good tutorials how to bring back your phone to stock, use the search button at the top.

I've noticed on my phone that on the right side my phone is developing dust in it and on close inspection you can see that there's a big gap compared to everywhere else. I've had the phone for a few months on contract and got it through carphone warehouse and after speaking to them they said they will send it back to Samsung.
I'm on a custom ROM and need to get back to stock and reset my flash counter to get my warranty back. I've got an idea how to do it but would appreciate your guys expert knowledge. I've read that you need to use triangle away but heard people say that it can break your touchscreen.
Thanks.
Use the guide in the stickies. Easy like that.

On the triangle away thread it says if you're on s3 you need to be on stock rom for it to work but the instructions on the sticky don't say that plus he's using ICS.
Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148708
Triangle away also runs with custom roms as it is more connected to the bootloader (?) Or recovery then the rom.
