[Q] Removie yellow tringle

Salam,,,,
i just bought my galaxy s ii yesterday with stock 2.3.4
i think that i followed all steps for "rooting thing"
after load "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4" in Odi3 v1.85
when i clicked start it says pass, but the last message in the box it says: Removed!!
then i got the yellow triangle, i tried to do the same step again and again, and sometimes load "KERNEL_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
i cant start my phone!!
help please
my apologies
now i got this problem

Simple to remove yellow triangle: USB Jig
Second problem, try holding down Power + Vol Down + Home buttons together when the phone is off, until you see a verification popup saying if you want to continue to flashing a custom ROM. Then try reflashing your ROM or kernel.
well, in my country there is no USB jig unfortunately
second i got this problem in my second replay (look image)
there is no use when holding power+home+volume down or up
the same problem appear to me
thanks for your help
I doesn't matter if it's not in your country. Order one here:
http://usbjig.com/
Did you enable any of the checkboxes that were disabled when you started Odin?
Like "Repartition" or "Flash Bootloader" or any of those?
yes, all three was checked when i used PIT, PDA, PHONE, and CSC
There we are. The Galaxy S 2 does not need a pit file, you probably got a pit file for a Samsung Galaxy S.
<Warning information heard from other users>
In another big Android board is a discussion going on that flashing a pit file can fry the mainboard + battery as it will use wrong settings (the settings for the Galaxy S) and apply a too high voltage.
</Warning information heard from other users>
From my experience in that case even the jig does not work anymore (you could try it anyways) so you might either need to send it to Samsung or find somebody with a JTAG (won't help if the mainboard gets damaged).
@prodygee
i hope it doesnt take long time in delivery
ohh, dont tell me that the board is damaged
i didnt spent 24h yet!!!!

Nah, as I said, those are just reports from other users I couldn't verify (I'm not gonna flash a pit file just for the sake of testing!) so you should try the jig anyways, because it's not expensive and does the trick in many cases.
However if those user claims are correct not even a JTAG could help but let's just hope the best for the moment, there's no point in being scared beforehand.
I wish you luck and please tell us if the jig worked!
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and you don't have a jig it will be simple..
Flash Cf-Root
Flash stock kernel (cwm for cf root will remain)
Unzip the Cf root you falshed earlier until you get zImage and don't rename it
Open cwm
Choose flash kernel
Select the zImage you extracted and flash
After that there will be no yellow triangle after boot

@ephraim033
my friend i cant go to download mode anymore
how much do you think it cost when the board is damage more than $200?
i will try warrant company, then try jig
I see.. Why don't you take it to damsung service center and make a story that you updated through kies then kies broke your device.. Atleast try the service center because it's free, but if all else fails you can try jtag
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
oh man, i just take it to warranty company, they told that they will try to update the software (i think it wont work) otherwise they will give a new one!!
Why are you flashing anything without not knowing what your doing?!

they gave me a new, told me that your problem cannot be fixed
they will send the phone to Samsung!!

I had a s3 which had emmc problems, not too sure but as long as you have product name and access to recovery and download mode you can try and flash the firmware again using odin. I am not sure as mine had no recovery mode at all.... somone with more knowledge may wish to clear things up for both of us. You can find some guide on how to flash to stock and flash stock firmware.

[Q] [HELP] Semi-bricked Samsung Smartphone

Hello XDA, I've been trying to solve this problem on my own for months now, but I haven't been successful, so I'm posting now in the hopes of having someone help.
About three months ago, I was browsing through my Tumblr feed when all of a sudden, my phone (a Samsung Galaxy Express, GT-I8730) shut off on its own. It wouldn't turn back on.
So of course I started to panic, but I tried plugging it into a PC. Windows found it as something like Qualcomm QHSUSB Download Mode. I did some research, and came upon @darkspr1te's "brixfix" tool, which I modified to work with my phone. I tried using it to no avail, so I did even more research. Turns out this happens to the S3 a lot (something about a bug in the eMMC firmware?), and people have recovered from it by using a special SD card onto which a dump of working bootloaders from another exact same device is copied.
So I tried that method, asked for a bootloader dump from one of my fellow I8730 users here on XDA, and burned the dump onto my spare 8GB Class 2 SD card. (I've read somewhere that one must use Class 10, but I can't afford to buy a new card. I later read on the same forum that slower, smaller cards are fine as long as they are able to contain the first 200MB of the bootloader dump.
I popped the card into the phone, switched it on, and it greeted me with this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I assumed that this was normal, and so proceeded to Odin-flash the bootloaders (aboot, sbl1-3, tz) and the whole system (system, boot, recovery, modem, hidden, cache) onto the phone. It rebooted and hung at the splash screen, so I rebooted it into recovery mode; thinking that the ROM must have gotten corrupted somehow.
However, when I would normally see the recovery screen, Odin Mode greeted me with the message
Could not do normal boot.

Followed by the usual Odin info:
ODIN MODE
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

I tried flashing SYSTEM again at this point, but Odin Mode gave me

and rebooted. I put it in Download Mode again, scoured the internet for a PIT file, and tried repartitioning; to which Odin Mode responded with

I don't have the money for a new phone, let alone a JTAG box, so I'm at a loss as to what to do next. (And someone just released a working Lollipop ROM for my device, so I'm really excited to get this thing to work again. :good
My device info (accurate as of the last time I was able to use it properly):

Bricked S9+ how to revive

Hello, colleagues,
I've bricked Samsung S9+ (SM-G965F). The story is the following:
1. I rooted it with LineageOS 19.1, but after some time of use decided to back it to original firmware
2. Using https://github.com/samloader/samloader I downloaded original firmware for my country (SEK, G965FXXUHFVG5)
3. And using this instruction - https://techbeasts.com/how-to-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s9-and-s9-plus/ - tried to restore original firmware
4. After this phone did not reboot, stucked with white "Samsung" word on the black screen
The error, I guess, was on step (3) above - phone probably was not official and when (too late!) I looked at https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9-plus/firmware/ I got that, probably, I was need the most widely used European firmware G965FXXUHFVG4 instead of ...FVG5 and, having phone responsive, tried to repeat step (3).
At the end of this procedure, Odin said "RQT_CLOSED !!" and soon reported failed update, while phone stuck in "Downloading... Do not turn off target..." state in 1-2 pixels before the end of progress bar. Now, if I try to boot it, it shows exclamation sign and a message "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" (of course, Smart Switch do not help - it says something about "plugin lost connection" or something like).
Since I tried to write wrong firmware, I then decided, using the following procedure - https://technastic.com/samsung-pit-file-download/ - to repartition it using PTI file according to instructions. It did not help - situation the same, Odin reports "RQT_CLOSED" and phone stucks in 1-2 pixels before the end of progress bar.
Now is the question - whether it's possible to revive the phone? Any comments, suggestions are highly welcome.
Thank you.
You can still flash firmware with Odin from that Emergency screen. Just do button combo for download mode if you get that screen again, flash away. Just make sure you are using correct formware

Thanks for the suggestion. To be more precise - are you about this way? - https://www.droidwin.com/create-samsung-combination-firmware-flash-it-via-odin/ Why I'm asking - I don't see in Odin nothing about 'Combo', there is my screen:

I'm sorry for misunderstanding. When I use samloader to download firmware, in fact I get enc4 file, which need to be decrypted and result is Zip archive with 5 files inside - BL, AP, CP, CSC and HOME_CSC. So, four of them I can specify in Odin configuration - BL, AP, CP and either CSC or HOME_CSC. When you say 'stock firmware', what exactly do you mean? Some single file of those mentioned above or something else? I will appreciate if you can give more details. Thank you!

Thanks a lot, firmware from this site helped, now I'm in. The difference was in CSC files, while other were the same. Thanks again, appreciate your help.
