After a deep clean (i was on Cyano9) i've returned to 4.0.3. stock italian (which is different from my original stock 4.0.3) And the triangle disappeared, now should i think that my flashing counter is returned to zero? or is still to 1 for my flash to cyano?
I have to send my cellphone to a centre and they will check mi IMEI, are they also able to know that i've flashed my cellphone, since i was on a H3g branded cellphone and now i'm not?

Yellow triangle disappeared because you flashed a stock firmware via Odin. Your binary counter will still be greater than zero.
Use triangle away app by Chainfire to reset binary counter: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Root access is needed.

Hello,
I recently returned my GS3 because of an audio problem.
My GS3 was rooted, so before to returned it, I used Triangle Away to reset the flash counter then I flashed an official firmware with Kies. The status of the GS3 was "normal" (in french but I suppose it's the same in english) and my counter showed a "Samsung Official"
The problem is that Samsung refuses to repair my mobile and claims my warranty is voided because my device was rooted and asks me to pay for the repair.
So I have two questions :
Firstly : How can Samsung know my device was rooted after a reset of the flash counter, a flash with an official firmware and an hard reset ?
Secondly : Is There anyone else who had the same problem with Samsung ?

At first the phone was the official rom (Samsung 4.0.3) then I put Cyanogen Mod 10 (root), then I went back to the official rom via kies (I put away Triangle) and I again flash for a rom clean. Then I did a hard reset.
I never flash the modem
I send my phone with the official Rom (4.0.4) downloaded with Kies

Was it the right version... ex, was it originally on a carrier branded firmware, but you flashed an unbranded version?
Did you flash another region's firmware, ex Polish firmware will have a different CSC to an English one, and can show it has been rooted.
Are you sure there were no root apps, or CWM recovery zips on your internal sd?
All of these can show the system has been rooted before, and are grounds for voiding warrenty (examples can be triangle away apk, CFroot, rom .zips etc.
I have never had my internal sd wiped when I wipe data/factory reset, so this could be plausible.
Can someone confirm that TA works on EMC2?
I'm trying to return completely to stock including resetting flash counter and getting rid of that red exclamation mark and so I'm guessing TA is the route?
Also, I remember reading that CSC changer no longer works? - is there a way around this yet? The last time I flashed stock via Odin I ended up with KOR when I needed BTU so i didn't get OTA until afterwards
My only thought if this doesn't work would be to revert back to the ICS bootloader?
Thanks in Advance!

I had the official Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed on my Galaxy SII I9100 (UNROOTED). Flashed CWM using Odin so I could install Cyanogenmod 10.1.3. Now after CWM install there's a yellow triangle on the boot screen. Can go into the Download Mode and CWM Recovery. But I searched and came to know that the yellow triangle doesn't effect the functionality of the device. I just want to know what causes the yellow triangle? Do I need to worry about it or just go on installing the Cyanogenmod? I mean, if it's not a bad news I can just leave it there. Thanks!
Unless you need to send your phone in for warranty service, you don't need to worry about the yellow triangle; it doesn't affect the functionality of the phone in any way. Though you can remove it with Triangle Away (search for the thread on here devoted to it) if it really bothers you.
Basically it means you've flashed an insecure (rooted) kernel, and if you left it there & sent the phone in for warranty service, it would show Samsung's service centre that you had been 'messing' with your phone, and they'd be within their rights to deny you warranty service.

Does that mean I am rooted? 'cause I didn't root. I guess the triangle is friendly then, would just leave it there.
To follow on from the previous post, it doesn't necessarily mean you're rooted, just flashed something not digitally signed by Samsung; in your case CWM. If you go into download mode, it will say not Samsung official, as well as the number of times you have flashed insecure firmware. If you use CWM to flash a rooted kernel or firmware, then you're rooted. But as stated, it doesn't affect functionality. Before TriangleAway, it was almost a badge of honour.

Hi,
I am a bit confused with how to reset counter in i9100.
now, I run 4.0.3 stock.
I tried to Rood and install the latest apk of TriangleAway (TriangleAway-v3.10.apk) and I clicked on Reset counter - but I still have (11)
.
Anyone can tell me what do i do wrong?
thanks
Are you sure you're rooted? How did you root it?
Try searching/asking about this issue in the thread meant for Triangle Away app:

Thanks!
My problem was my kernel - it wasnt stock.
I must have stock kernel in order to make Trianlge Away works
Hey guys,
Could someone please help me with my problem. I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I had my fully working, factory unlocked from Three carrier GT-I9300 with 4.1.2 version, however yesterday I decided to updated my phones firmware via Odin 3.07 to 4.3 I9300XXUGML3. Everything went smoothly but after a while i noticed that it does not have any reception.
In phones status it shows:
Network: Unknown
Service state: Out of Service
My Phone Number: Unknown
IMEI: 00499901640000
Device status: Official
I figured it out that culprit might be IMEI code, so I reinstalled 4.3 version a few times but without success. After that I rooted my phone with Kingo Android root in order to fix my reception problem but It did not work out. In the end I thought to just send it to Samsung's warranty.However before sending phone I wanted to run TriangleAway in order to reset my binary count, but It does not resets. I thought that Knox might be stopping it from resetting as it's 4.3, however phone does not have Knox installed in it, even when in Download mode there is nothing written about Knox.
So I'm now in a pickle as I have:
-Corrupted IMEI
-No Reception
-TriangleAway does not resets binary
-Knox nowhere to be found (But I guess it's a good thing)
It would be really good to at least to reset binary count in order to send it to warranty to just forget about this mess :laugh:
Any ideas what is going on? I could not find any solution or problem which is similar to mine.
Triangle away won't work on later bootloader, downgrade to ICS bootloader.

Isn't there a high chance of bricking phone while downgrading from 4.3 to ICS?
I tried now to flash my phone with stock I9300XXUGMK6 firmware in order to root it with CF-Auto-Root and then use Triangle Away to reset my binary counter. However It did not reset it.
Before that tried CWM, flashed kernel, flashed modem, used mobile odin. Sadly everything was in vain. I'm at loss now, don't know what do to. Maybe i'm doing something wrong? Maybe there is some kind of problem with the phone?

Fixed
So I fixed it!
I had Mk6 firmware installed with cf-auto root.
After that I installed Boeffla's kernel (beta5 version) with mobile Odin and used TriangleAway 3.26 in order to reset my binary counter. Immediately after using mobile Odin again I installed official mk6 firmware and voila! Everything official and binary count set to 0, however I still had problem with IMEI and network so I sent phone to samsung as I have warranty.
Thanks everyone for helping out
