Hi,
I've rooted my device via ODIN (it works fine) & then I wanted to install CMW to be able to install the latest Mokee KK
Unfortunatelly I've checked bootloader & selected the zip file of CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100 ... and clicked start. Yes I know never flash a phone when you're tired ...
Then my phone never wanted to reboot in the previous OS and got stucked on the boot screen + a yellow triangle
I've tried to flash CWM (it worked) & I've boot into recovery (installed KK + Gapps) ==> OK
BUT now every time my phone boots it is showing the yellow triangle.
My quesiton is : what can I do? Is it a real problem now after having managed to install a custom rom?
flashing anything from odin besides official stock roms, will increase your flash counter,
hence the yellow triangle. its normal but you could use Triangle Away by Chainfire in Original Android Development, to remove the yellow triangle
where do i get bootloader for kitkat 4.4.4?

Hello everyone,
Am asking the above question because while backing up and restoring
my current ROM using ROM manager, the phone (Galaxy S2) restarts with
an exclamation mark above the android man (plz see attachment below).
It gets stuck at that screen and am forced to again restart the phone
after which the back and restore process goes smoothly.
1) My question is will flashing the original kernel solve the above problem?
2) Also will I be able to install apps requiring root permissions after I've
reflashed the original kernel??
3) And will I be able to restore my backed
up ROM if I've reflashed the original kernel??
Android: 2.3.3
FW: XWKF3
Please help
It should and it will get rid of the yellow triangle. just follow instruction in the second post of the thread from chainfire rooting thread.
Thanks for replying. Will it also solve the 2nd and 3rd queries??
2. yes, because your phoe will still be rooted.
3. yes, but you will lose any new apps that you have downloaded in te meantime because you are using a back up made from an earlier version.
Flashing the stock kernel via ODIN in Download mode will remove the Yellow Triangle.
After flashing stock kernel, you lose ROOT, so no, you cannot use applications that requires root.
If your kernel comes with CWM app, you can use that to install a rooted kernel again without incurring another tick at the Custom Binary Counter, and because of that the Yellow Exclamation will not appear.
Backing up with ROM Manager should not invoke the wraith of the yellow exclamation, and neither should restoring either, since it doesn't use Download mode. Are you sure you were using clockwork recovery to restore, and not ODIN to flash?
If the attachment is the blue triangle and not yellow, then it is not the same as the one that custom binary counter triggers.
That looks like 3e (Samsung's recovery)
Hi LiFE 1688,
I rooted my phone with an insecure kernel using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Then I downloaded ROM Manager, flashed CWM then backed up
my ROM using the option "Backup Current ROM". For restoration
purpose, I used "Manage and Restore Backups" option within
ROM Manager.
The problem is when I try to restore or take another backup
with ROM Manager the device boots up with the exclamation
mark (as seen in the attachment above) and it gets stuck
there.
Then am forced to shutdown and restart my device after which
the backup or restoration process goes smoothly. My question
is how do I remove that exclamation mark which I get after
my device reboots for back/restore purposes.
Note: The yellow exclamation mark which is shown underneath
the Samsung start logo also persists so it would be great that
the solution also removes that yellow exclamation mark as well.
Thanks for reading.
Please help
Tutorial to remove yellow triangle
Thanks alot Cosmic Blue and LiFE 1688
ok guys i odin the stock rom with root, how in the heck i get into recovery mode and install cm7? i tried rom manager and it didnt work any other ideas?
Rom manager does not work correctly on stock. (It will work once you are on cm7.) You need to install a kernel that contains ClockworkMod Recovery. If you install the kernel with Odin or Heimdall, it will increment the flash counter and cause the initial I9100 boot screen with yellow warning triangle. If this is a concern to you, use the Guide linked in my signature to avoid that.
I extracted some filed to my phone now it wont start, so I am trying to install some stock roms with odin, but will this possibly brick it? I have the bell canada version i think.
How else can i fix this?
What do you mean it wont start, does it bootloop, do you see the i9100 logo, a yellow triangle, or will it not turn on at all.
Can you get into CWM recovery or download mode? If you can only get into download mode, odin will work fine, just make sure to flash the proper roms. (If you have the i9100G, Do not flash the i9100 roms and same of the opposite)
successfully installed
I've successfully installed using odin..just use the search button for the steps and procedure of installation.
Factory reset first .

Ok so I just flashed the I9300XXDLIH official firmware (4.1.1) with ODIN, returning to stock firmware and stock recovery. I then rooted (while retaining the stock recovery) and used triangle away. It showed the flash count as 3 before aplying the fix, and now it shows flash count 1 and "custom "status. It stays like that and won't go to 0 no matter what.
How come it removed the 3 count and replaced it with 1 but won't remove it to 0? I don't use a custom kernel or custom recovery.
I read certain kernels are compatible and let it go to 0 but when you use a custom kernel, it will be set to 1 on each reboot anyways, so that doesn't help.
Anyone know how to get i to 0? It worked on a CM Rom but I need it to be zero with the stock firmware
thanks for replying
Triangle Away. Make sure you have absolutely stock FW + Kernel.
If it doesn't work, flash the Siyah Kernel then reset and flash the stock on back on.
Everything is stock.
Well, when I flash siyah, reset the counter and then flash back the stock kernel, the flash will bump the counter back to 1.
I have to install the kernel either via CWM or ODIN, but both will trigger the counter. Kind of a vicious cycle. What to do
- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts
- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region
- Flash that stock firmware on your device
- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again
- Reboot
- Wait at least 10 minutes
- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"
- Perform another factory reset
- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official
Try this...

It is a vicious cycle. It took me forever to get it right.
Once you have installed triangle away:
1. reset counter ( sometimes it reboots sometimes it doesn't ) regardless after the it resets remove the battery.
2. put the SG3 in download mode and flash the stock firmware
3. right after ODIn reboots the SG3 remove the battery
4. reboot into recovery mode and perform a factory reset
5. done
:highfive:
Usually Flash Counter is reset to 1 because of the custom recovery, or because some Samsung devices (including i9300 of course ^^) send a "System Modified" flag both from the bootloader and from fully booted android. There is an option, however, to run Triangle Away at every boot, and early in the boot cycle, to keep it at 0.
See here for the original Triangle Away thread. In the second post, developer chainfire explains why it's this way and what you can do to keep your counter at 0.
Hey Folks,
I'm Freaking out atm -.-
On Saturday my Phone just shut down, restartet and hung in a bootloop. Doing Wipes and Factory Resets didnt helped me. So i pulled the last Joker and flashed as its metioned here. First few Times nothing happend (But ODIN gave me PASSED after Procedure).
Today I tried again with Odin 3.04, Firmware from the Thread (and Vodafone GER Firmware, Factory Reset / Wpies via Android Recovery) and Wooooooow, Phone is booting. BUT its just booting up, I can make some Settings like Choose Language, Connect to WiFi and so on. After ~30 Seconds the Phone reboots, 3-6 Times, then its stucks on Bootanimation (not looping). After a while Phone gets hot on the Bottom.
Soooooo, any can tell me whats wrong with my Buddy?
Cant send it to Service cause i cannot reset the flashcounter (cant install Apps due to the lack of time phone is active)
Im able to root Phone again / replace stock recovery with CWM -Maybe flashable Zip for resetting the counter?
Installing CustomRom will give me a Loop on Splash Screen
I need my freakin Phone
Cheers

Okay What I did:
- Stock Vodafone Germany ROM is installed (but not booting right)
- Rooted with CF-Root 6.4 via Odin again - now i can access CWM Recovery
- Wiped everything (system, data, cache, dalvik, battery, preload)
- Flashed Stock ROM via Odin
- Recovery Droid showed up with blue loading bar under it
- Phone is running blue samsung bootanimation twice
- Phone gives me bootsplashloop twice
- Phone shows blue bootanimation and gets stuck on breathing samsung logo (last part of the bootanimation), blue notification LED is breathing
any guess?

Now its looping the bootsplash 3 or 4 times and than Screen turns black.
After wiping Dalvik, and Factory Reset again Phone boots to Bootanimation (Samsung Logo breathing), Bootanimation starts a Second Time Without Sound, than Boot Splash, Bootsound and blue Bootanimation again.
Sometimes with Graphical glitches (the blue circle around samsung text)
But going not further than Bootanimation, no System showing up
is the phone model name (i9300) present in download mode?
aslo, does the recovery say anything about the efs folder?
