Triangle away from playstore will get rid of it.

alliance 7.2

Yes. Like he said ^.
To remove it there is an app for about $3 that resets flash counter and removes the yellow triangle. On the other hand, if the phone is stuck and not working, try this method.

[Q] GT-19100 stuck at the "samsung name sceen"

Hello,
So i tried to flash the stock official samsung room from here with odin, but my device is stuck at the black and white screen saying "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-19100".
I tried the same flash again, but the same problem occurred.
I have attached the "message" from Odin...
So does anyone have an idea of what I must to, in order to have a working device?
Regards Jesper
Mate, that's called a 'bootloop'.
Your Odin flash was successful. But upgrading to JB can cause such issues.
You just need to go into recovery mode and do a factory reset!

SGS2 Charge & SGS2 GT-I9100 freeze

Just to say at start i have searched EVERYWHERE but haven't seen anyone with exact problem.
I have added many contacts after the backup before rooting.
I have SGS2 (International, no brand) and it freezes at charging screen (with the battery when you put the cable in when it's off) and can boot in Download Mode. Now i know that i could wipe everything from my phone at i could get it back but i really need my contacts i have at the phone.
The phone is rooted and it suddenly didn't go further after closing Opera with exit (took a bit to close everytime) tried rebooting but can't get other than the screen saying "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100". I tried to get in Clock Work Recovery and it was successful and i think it was a half coincidence, because i can't get it working now.
I tried changing the battery and it had no effect i already saved a no wipe custom rom ready to be loaded from SD-card.
So i think the keys to get to CW Recovery is the last chance. Could you give me all possible ones because i haven't used it for a while.
Please help me XDA

4.0.4 or 4.0.4 can't remember which one.
Try flashing Siyah v5.0.1 kernel (if ur sure ur on ICS and not JB) via Odin. See if you can get into CWM after that.

What we are trying to accomplish is a working CWM recovery for ur device. Once u get that, u can try wiping cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions to see if you can boot.

No, don't use PIT files unless specifically asked to do so! You could end up bricking ur phone!
Does flashing Siyah kernel via Odin fail?

Not now atleast.
Could be Odin connectivity issues.
Try using a different cable, USB port or computer. Kill all Kies processes. Run Odin as administrator.

U need the USB drivers for Odin to work. You get the drivers either by installing Kies or by installing the drivers themselves.
If you uninstall Kies, then you must either re-install it or the drivers.
If u have Kies, you must make sure all Kies related processes are killed in the Task manager.

I tried flashing the kernel and it now showed the "KERNEL" on the first block but it failed. And now i can't boot my phone. Is it now officially bricked? It does however recharge the battery with usb-cable and it gets a little hot after a while.
I think the bootloader is corrupted. You can repair it with a "usb jig or usb jtag".
Try this (download mode):
Try to get to download mode via pressing power+down+homekey. Download a official firmware and flash it via odin.

[Q] urgent*phone stuck at boot screen and cant access to recovery mode..

First of all i would like to apologize for my weak english..
Here's the situation...
i rooted my samsung galaxy s2 GTi-9100g with ressurection remix and i have cwm which i get it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934
and now i flashed it to thunderbolt rom which i get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779094
i did wipe factory,davik, cache before i flash..i were stuck on the boot screen after i flash...
i search the forum and likely everyone were solved it by using recovery mode...
but the problem are i cant access to recovery mode and i can access to download mode only...
any advice for me to solve this??
As for solving, simply flash a stock firmware using Odin.
But first why not try taking out the battery for a few minutes, reinsert and try to enter recovery again?

Please use search, use google there are so many threads like this. There is an answer somewhere out there you just have to find it.
May the force be with you!
Let me get this straight..
U used an S3 file (am assuming u meant a pit file) to re-partition ur device, right?
And ur brother pulled the cable while Odin was flashing, isn't it?
So what does your phone do now, besides playing possum?
