I was thinking about using it because I have the "Samsung Custom" splash screen.
I am running CM11 with Ktoonz Kernal and the newest radio.
Is there a risk of using it? And will it actually get rid of that splash screen?

I love Triangle away. As usual with all root procedures and applications there are risks. But, I've never had a problem with triangle away. I'd recommend that you should install SuperSu to replace Superuser unless if you already have it of course. It should get rid of the splash screen but I'm not 100% positive. All you have to do is tap reset counter then it should work. Also, I would remove you sd card just in case like it suggests because one time for a weird reason my sd card was formatted also. (Luckily it was a new SD card with no data on it!) But, I'd also check with @Chainfire just to make sure.
I don't get it you want a custom recovery custom rom custom phone. But Boy if a boot screen says custom we just can't have that. Always makes me rofl.

Yea... that custom screen really gets some people going huh?
If you're rooting and possibly lucky enough to have a custom recovery who even cares? If u bring your phone into Verizon for anything... Even they don't care. To each his own I guess

There's a risk with all custom ROMS however, I have this ROM and I'm lovin' it. It's awsome ;D you will enjoy it. As I said there is a risk. Not a big one and not a small one. If you follow the steps correctly then your G2G. If you muck up, your NOT screwed (see here) So have a go... If you dare!

Triangle Away won't clear the "Samsung Custom" splash screen. At least not on MJ7/MK2.
However, since you're apparently on MDK, there's no reason for you not to try it.
For whatever it's worth, I'm running with Triangle Away on my rooted MJ7 phone with the "Periodic System Modified Reset" enabled, but that still gives me "Custom" at boot. I don't care - if I need to clear it, I'll flash a stock ROM.

ok so i hooked up my fresh out the box (unrooted) galaxy s2 to odin and installed CWM in hopes i could back up the stock ROM so if i ever have a problem and need it for insurance purposes with at&t i could make the phone completely stock... i am certain i messed up because when i boot in recovery anything i do in CWM it just shows the hat refresh symbol and does nothing else. please help this newb out.
Make sure you're using the home and back soft keys at the bottom, not the power button.

I don't know if this is even possible, but on my HTC it was possible to change the screen that comes up before the boot animation, it was called a "splash screen" on the Inspire 4G. So in our case it would replace the Samsung Galaxy S2 or GT-i9100 triangle screen.
Sorry if this has been done and I don't know what it's called. I've been following this device for a while and am yet to see anything.

Though not a solid answer, here are some thoughts.
When we do an Odin flash of an unsigned OS, this is the screen where the yellow triangle pops up to remind us of our evil ways (its actually an entire new picture that has the triangle on it, as evidenced by the fact that on an i777 this screen reverts to the i9100 one). I do not recall anyone ever mentioning any way to get rid of this screen short of flashing a signed OS or using a jig (no filehacks to remove the triangle). Seeing as these actions are controlled by the bootloader, I could guess, though I can't be sure, that these image files may also be a part of the bootloader. Though it is possible to mod a bootloader, I, and most of the people on this forum would probably admit modding a bootloader to change a bootscreen on these phones may not be worth the risk, as we enter hard brick territory when we mess with these things.
Search on the Android Market for sgs2. In that group there is a boot screen changer program. I have it loaded on my phone and gone through the procedure but have not actually changed screens yet.
The only thing safe to change is the bootanimation, so you can remove the AT&T if you haven't already by flashing a custom rom.
I just replace the zip file using a file manager (ES,Root Explorer) and reboot.

I know it was possible on the captivate. But I haven't seen it done here yet.,I believe the splash screen is located in the kernel not the rom. on the cappy the splash screen would change depending on what kernel you were running. maybe one of the kernel devs (entropy ;-) ) could look into it.

[MOD] Custom Boot Screen *SGS II I777*
Hello everyone. I will soon be switching to a different carrier, and will be trading in my phone. Sadly, this means that it will need to be returned to stock. I have tried searching around and haven't found a straight answer. My phone is currently Loki'd. Is there any way I can restore back to stock MDK with Odin and remove all signs of root? Right now, when I start my phone up, it shows the unlocked lock and says modified, so I am hoping that there is some way I can return back to stock. Ideally I would want to go back to MDK, in case for some reason I don't switch. That way, I know I will be able to get back custom recovery if everything falls through. I will keep data disabled until I trade it in, in order to prevent an update.
Sorry if this has been answered before, but I tried searching and couldn't find anything. Maybe I just overlooked it.

Will flashing that remove the remove the "Custom" splash at startup as well, or will I need to run something else before doing that? I know on my SIII, I had to run Triangle Away before returning it as well.

Yes it will bring it back to complete stock MDK unrooted. I've actually used this a couple times to restore stock firmware. Works perfectly.

So I rooted my Note 2 a couple of weeks ago and I want to update to Kitkat. What do you suggest I do?
unroot then do OTA update?
I know @Surge1223 on the Galaxy S4 thread designed a way to go from root to kitkat and keep the root. Any one out there doing something similar for this device?
Thanks

I'm holding off on the update like most people say. Updating locked our bootloader so who knows what the next update could do. If you're rooted then just flash a kk ROM and be safe.

The only thing with that is, that the screen is cracked on it and I dont know if we plan on claiming the insurance on it. So if I flash it, I assume I will set off the flash/knox counter. Then I will have to purchase triangle away to reset it, correct? I guess I may have to do that anyways if I plan on unrooting it.
No idea what you mean by flash/counter and purchasing triangle. But if you mean flashing to stock and unrooting it's simple. Learn Odin search for use Odin s3 on XDA and its simple. If you get to that point I'll help you out. Hangouts I'm [email protected]

Thanks @fuzzychinsagrero. The counter is a warranty thing, at least it is on the s3 and s4, that can tell if you have modified or put a different OS (ie. cynaogen, etc). If that counter has been changed from 0, sometimes they void the warranty because you tampered with it. I think you can tell if you have by doing the vol down+home+power when turning on the phone. Then do volume up for download mode and then you can see in the text in the upper left hand corner a flash counter and knox counter. Like I said, this is how it is on the s3 and s4, I figure it is the same.

And If I am correct, Triangle Away by chainfire, can reset that counter. Yes, odin is great I have used it to do some on my s4 and s3 I used to have.
Only way to get kitkat right now is to wait till Verizon actually releases, which wont be at least for another couple months. I wouldnt be surprised if its released after the Note 4 is released. (4.3 for Note 2 was pushed out after note 3, if I remember correctly. I might be wrong).
But as of right now, unless you're running 4.1.2 with an unlocked bootlader, you're out of luck.
But if you do have an unlocked bootloader, go flash AOKP or CM11 nightly builds. I prefer AOKP because it seemed a little more stable than CM11.

AFAIK Triangle Away simply hides the lock but if you dive deep in settings the system still reports as "Custom".

I have no problem with the splash screen it is just that if i ever need to replace it with a warranty they might not accept it because of it
