I know this probably has been asked too many times before, but I swear I searched for this specific issue and found no answer.
A friend of mine bought a SGS2 on swappa, it came with the ****ing triangle in the boot image and we paid no attention to it untill we tried to flash CM10 on it. <it is currently running cm7.
We tried the triangle away app and it displayed the "trouble parsing the package" then i read that this app works only on jellybean, my question is how do I upgrade andoid if Im not able to flash any rom on it.
Here are a couple of pictures so that you can have an idea of the errors im getting.

I am raging so hard right now. The TWO most asked questions ever. In one thread.
You are trying to install an i777 ROM (maybe AT&T or T-Mobile) to an ordinary i9100. Download the proper ROM and install it.

It's impossible to tell. The splash screen comes when SPOILER: the flash counter has been tripped And status 7 comes back like every week somehow

Really? Since when does the i777 have T-Mobile roms?
Also. Here's a word of advice. That screen can be on i777 or 9100.

Fail... twice. T-Mobile doesn't have I777s and that triangle is for tripping the flash counter. It could be an I9100 or an I777.
OP: your issue is you haven't searched enough. The answer IS out there... ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Here's a clue. Read the fu¢king stickies. Yes, a bit of emoragekill. Why? Because you haven't put more then 45 seconds into finding the answer. It took you longer to create this thread than you spent searching.
I gave you the answer. This thread has run its extremely unnecessary course.

Pull the battery and make sure which phone you have. Go to that forum and look for a 'stock rooted rom' and follow those instructions. Then you should not have a problem flashing cm10 (if it is available)

I see that by flashing the stock firmware that Entrophy posted in the dev section will put the phone back to stock removing the triangle. (Phone is being returned soon)
What if I flash the pre rooted stock firmware also offered by entrophy? Will the flash counter detect the root and throw the yellow triangle as well?
Also am I even accurate with my first paragraph? If I flash the totally stock firmware with Odin will my triangle go away?

Yes seriously.
No need to be rude. You contribute a lot to this forum but that doesn't mean you need to be rude and annoyed with other members.
If you look at your 'highlighted' posts from the main general section you can see that you have highlighted my own thread first of all, second of all the FAQ which isn't visibly from the xda app, which is what I use.
Third you can see that I at least read the thread of how to circumvent the flash counter as I mentioned it in the OP. After reading said thread I couldn't come up with an answer myself which is why I reposted.
Do you think I enjoy posting for no reason? I would much rather find the info myself.
Either way thank you for taking the time to set me straight.

Blindly flashing bootloaders willy-nilly is a great way to hardbrick!
As to your latest post - I know I highlighted it. I was pointing out the fact that it was within easy view of not one but TWO locations with your answer.
Your question was answered easily in two existing threads, easily visible. Yet you decided you were so special and important that you had to create an entire new thread for your question (which already averages 3-4 new threads per day when it should average ZERO due to being answered in multiple places, pushing the guide lower down from the first page, making it harder for people to find the answers.
Stickies not being visible from apps is not an excuse.
It IS visible from forum reader apps. Hell, stickies are MORE visible as they get their own tab in the app instead of just an icon next to the thread. I just checked on my phone
Just because you're using a deficient method of accessing these forums because you're too lazy to wait, sit down at a PC, and do some reading doesn't give you the right to clutter them up for people who actually try to do some research

A ROM is not the same as bootloaders.
Screw boot.bin and sbl.bin up and your phone is done, unless you're willing to open it up and flash directly into the motherboard.

Yes but many roms come with bootloaders so flashing a euro rom will flash a euro bootloader.

CWM is outdated for you, maybe because you are using an old firmware.
flash CF-ROOT with your corresponding firmware version, then flash a custom rom. all new roms, often comes with CWM and is updated.

I checked all the CF root forum, but problem was still as it was on the beginning. I found one helpful thing Clock Recovery is not going well with installed ROM manager.
I just installed original ROM from Samsung, russian region. And root device again. That's it.
I spent two days looking in google, but no one really knows what this causes.

I have left the following message when you turn on the phone after wanting to upgrade "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" (is the explanation that a friend gave me, the team is his, I thought I could give him a hand and he had had a similar situation on my Galaxy S2, which solved .)
As I have already downloaded firmware, full package proceeded to try to flash it with ODIN reaching it in the picture, then odin and not advance, usually gives error, but more than that I failed.
I can't see the pictures you posted but i'm pretty sure there's a couple of threads that can help you sort this one out.

Killed kies applications before you flashed?

I just can't understand why people ask for the exact file to flash, instead of trying to find out for themselves.
From what I see, its not that hard to find what ur looking for, unless ur too lazy to go through all the search results! And you can always double check with other members on whether ur doing stuff right or not.
If someone suggests you flash something, and you do it without knowing why or how, ur back to where u were before asking.
Believe me, the fun is all about learning what ur doing and why ur doing it. So after u have solved ur issue, u have not just helped ur device, u have helped urself too..
Just my 2 cents..

Using search button "root sgs2 4.1.2" . U should watch for a kernel

Word of advice....don't go offsite for rooting methods....other sites get their info here, and if not, it probably shouldn't be trusted anyway.
And for rooting....visit the PhilZ thread....search the thread for the kernel that matches your firmware and download the ZIP version. This can be flashed in the stock recovery....without Odin. ....
Not sure how? Search function will help......

I have searched almost half an hour but didn't find the instructions so I'm making a new thread.
I'm currently on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 stock rom rooted via Siyah kernel 6.0 b5.
I have downloaded stock 2.3.5 JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1 from sammobile.com. the rom is in .md5 file.
So can I just downgrade by using ODIN and selecting the .pda and having tick on Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time or are there any extra settings for downgrading?
Really looking forward for someone to answer it briefly.
and btw, Sorry for my bad english.
Mobile Odin.
PS: I have a smoke while sipping pepsi walking out the dog, that takes half an hour.
You should be looking at 2-4 hours to get the info you need. Always spare that time for researching.

I'm on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM rooted with Siyah kernel 6.0b5.
1 thing more, if I dont want to keep rooted when downgrading? I'm asking this because I can also root 2.3.5 via CF Root if I need it later.
and I already made a nandroid backup and also of EFS.
I think that was meant for me.
LSW.

If you want to keep Root, select EverRoot option, if you don't, don't select it

Okay so,
I want to Flash LSW but my PC doesn't reconize the device (Micro USB Port problem), so I have to flash with Mobile Odin but I'm scared.
I'd like to know if there is any risk of brick/bootloop or any other problem when flashing with MO ?
Have anyone had any issue with it ?
May I select Wipe data, cache & Dlavik cache ?
Is LSW stable ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Go ahead and flash it.
Let me tell you a story.
A friend started having some issues with his device and sent it to a guy, so he could check it out plus change it's smashed screen.
This guy did change the screen and he flashed a branded GB firmware (who the hell knows why).
Of course, he didn't back the EFS folder up resulting in a IMEI gone situation.
He gave it to me so I could work some magic.
I was on GB, rooted with doomlord oneclick. Got M.O.P, a couple of GB and JB ROMs, siyah v6, supernexus and CM 10.1.
With that set up I can go back and forth with all stock ROMs and flash siyah v6 (.tar) whenever I need/want to go custom.
So there you have it, that SII haven't had to be plugged in to any PC.
Will it have to?
Hardly.
If it ever gets stucked in a bootloop you got recovery to deal with it.
If, IF something fishy happens, I still got odin to work something out.
I don't see how, to me M.O is the safest way to flash a device.
Why?
Easy, when you f/#k up in Odin, you ONLY got odin to work it out.
When you $&! k in M.O, you STILL have Odin to make snazzy moves.
BAM

Thanks a lot for your answer, it's very helpful. I'll flash as soon as I repair this damn USB Port (for the 2nd time).
THANKS, THANKS AND THANKS AGAIN
You only need the usb to charge it.
Download the ROMs to your phone or use dropbox.
