When reboot the device it comes back with Yellow triangle
I have followed the below instruction but getting confused on Step 4
Please could you kindly guide me
Getting rid of that pesky warning triangle during boot
It is definitely possible to remove that pesky warning triangle during boot when running a custom kernel, though you should be well aware that this method does NOT reset the custom kernel flash counter. The steps are not complicated, but they aren't easy either, so read well.
(1) Make sure you have CF-Root flashed (see the first post). You must have the "CWM Manager" app available.
(2) Make sure you have the same version of CF-Root extracted until you have the zImage file. (ZIP --> extract --> TAR --> extract --> zImage).
(3) Push the zImage file to /sdcard . It must still be called zImage !
(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)
(5) Reboot into download mode (adb reboot download, or boot the device with home and volume-down pressed)
(6) Fire up ODIN, and flash the Samsung kernel
(7) Boot the device with the stock kernel. CWM Manager will still be available.
(8) Start CWM Manager, select Flash Kernel, and select the zImage from CF-Root you previously put on your SD-card. The kernel will flash and the device will reboot.
(9) You will now notice you no longer have the warning triangle during boot, but you are actually running CF-Root with all it's goodies!
(10) In the future, if you only use the Flash Kernel option inside CWM Manager instead of ODIN, the triangle will not return, neither will your flash counter increase. But keep in mind, that CWM Manager can only handle a direct "zImage" if you are NOT running a kernel with full busybox support (this is currently needed for flashing kernels out of .TAR and .ZIP files)
I got it all working
I would like to say a big THANK YOU FOR everyone. and special thank you Nyssa1104
Thank You
Hi was looking for some help with an issue.
I am running unbranded ICS 4.0.3 with root access.
IML74K.XWL7
Kernel:: 3.0.15-1900XWL7-CL340913 [email protected] #3
I have some moisture damage so cannot connect via usb to use odin pc.
I'm trying to get CF-Root kernel so I can use CWM to flash RR 2.6.1
I select the tar CF-Root file : CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 from "open file" and then select flash firmware, it says its flashing kernel and then resets the phone as if it has worked but the kernel remains the same, it hasnt worked.
What am I doing wrong here? Never had a problem with Mobile Odin before.

You can try flashing a zip file in stock recovery that will give you temporary Cwm. From that you can flash any kernel you want.
And I have no idea where to get that file...

Hi all,
I use to own a htc sensation and now well purchased my new shiny S3. Read a couple of threads and do not want to risk bricking this as it only arrived this morning.
So the spec of my model is the following :
Model : GT19300
Android : 4.1.1
Base:19300xxdlid
kernel 3.0.31
build jroo3c
Just to confirm, some tut's said install kies on pc before rooting and connect the device at least once before running the root, others state please remove all samsung software from the pc. Which is correct ?
I also have seen this message : IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THIS TOOLKIT TO ROOT OR FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY ON A SNAPDRAGON MODEL SGS3 AS THE INCLUDED IMAGES WILL NOT WORK ON IT
How can i tell which mine is ?
So would you people recommend the toolkit way or the other way, as i have been looking at the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
I'm not a complete newb as i had the sensation for 2 years and had that rooted so just some guidance please as this is a new device cheers

I personally used Chainfire's Odin method, which worked flawlessly. No need for Kies, just download Odin and use the .tar file he provides.
If your model number is GT-i9300, you will have the Exynos version of the phone, so you can ignore the warning about Snapdragon processors; that only applies to the LTE US version.
Read the following thread - it tells you everything you need to know.

If i so happen to have installed cf-autoroot instead of cf-root.6.4,
is it safe for me to just do the same procedure for cf-root6.4? like overwriting?

Thanks buddy Root access has been granted. Is this triangle away compulsory or can i just leave it?
How would i go about flashing a custom Rom now? Stick the custom rom zip on sd card and just boot into cwm and boot from zip ?
p.s don't suppose you have a tut on returning to factory default and un rooting just incase i ever need to send it back

have a slight problem, I noticed i had the stock cwm and wanted the touch version. I downloaded the recovery and renamed it recovery.img and then went and installed odin mobile pro after selecting recovery and internal or external it will not find the file recovery.img ? I then thought i would try to download the .tar.md5 file for CWM TOUCH RECOVERY 6.0.1.2, however upon opening odin on my pc and then trying to boot my device into download mode, it just shows the Samsung logo and refreshes. I have managed to boot the device back on since then.
Update I have tried and read about 20 odd posts and everywhere tell me to get the device into download mode, the device wouldn't,However after several attempts I managed to get odin to pick the img file and flash. Upon booting back up i am now stuck with a Samsung boot logo and feel its bricked? Please Help!!!
I can not even return the device under warranty as i was unable to run triangle away ;(

Thanks for your time. Hope I gave enouh information.
Yeah mate.
In post #3 download the auto root for i9300 and unzip to get the tar. file and flash it in Odin.Then for a good custom recovery download and flash Philz touch recovery so you have a good recovery to flash other zips.

This tutorial always works on stock Gingerbread 2.3.x:
1- Download "siyah-2.6.14-CWM.zip" and extract the .tar file using any archiver.
2- Flash the .tar file using ODIN 1.85 (first, put your phone into download mode by turning it off and pressing Volume down + home button + Power button), and you need to select the PDA field for the .tar file.
You are now rooted on stock 2.3 and you have CWM which can possibly flash some new ROMs but notice that if you want to flash 4.4 KitKat ROMs, you need to upgrade your recovery to latest CWM 6.0.4.7 (6.0.4.5 should work too). Good luck

The file to be flashed through ODIN (after extraction of course): http://gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar
You know the drill: Extract, flash with ODIN, enjoy a rooted phone with CWM 5.x.x.x which is quite-too-old now, and I don't see how one can fail using the method. Anyway, go for "update.zip" by simply googling update.zip for gingerbread 2.3 rooting and you should be able to flash that file from recovery with superuser app installed (worked for me on stock recovery back then)
