dead android yellow triangle with exclamation marlk? please help !! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey,
so i recently had my s7 edge fixed because of the green and purple stripes problem.
since i got it back i wasn't able to update it and the phone was pretty laggy i tried updating it with smart switch and when it completed the download i got a blue screen telling me "installing system updates" then suddenly a dead android appeared with an exclamation mark and i was booted into recovery mode.
no matter how many times i reset or reboot i get the same triangle and get booted into recovery mode and i can only access recovery mode and odin mode.
my device won't start up at all.
please help!?
ps:
i tried flashing the phone with odin many times with the latest software for my phone version from sammobile and the same thing happened over and over.

[Q] Help: Rooted SGS2 Problem

I tried to root my SGS2 which worked but now my phone is stuck in airplane mode and the home and left button don't work.
Have you tried installing a new rom?
Which would you suggest? Also, When phone reboots there is yellow triangle with an exclamation point
The exclamation mark means signifies missing recovery or the device didn't follow the correct path to recovery. I would recommended this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274 .

Well I think I am going to have to go to the Sprint store. Odin won't recognize the phone. The phone screen has an icon of a phone, the yellow triangle and icon of computer screeen and says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Kies does not recognize a phone is connected.

Device won't power up after kernel flash

MUIE DUTZU!
Had a SGS2 I9100-G, Gingerbread 2.3.5, XXKI4.
1)Tried to flash ICS RR, rebooted, stuck at SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark;
2)Tried to flash STOCK ROM, got NAND error in Odin, PC - ! - Phone logo shows up;
3)Flashed the GINGERBREAD VERSION kernel from [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!), rebooted, now the SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark shows up again;
4)Tried to flash Lightning ROM, Odin failed after writing a while, PC - ! - Phone logo shows up again;
5)Did step 3 again;
6)Tried to flash the Recovery Package/ROM from [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!) without .PIT and without Re-Partition (steps 1-4), got NAND error;
7)Did step 3 again, JAM;
-----------------------
Now my device cannot be powered on by any combination of buttons, except when I connect it to a power source(PC, AC). After I plug the device, the SAMSUNG LOGO + Exclamation mark shows without any push of button and I cannot acces DOWNLOAD MODE anymore.
Tried evey combination possible: download mode combination before the device gets plugged in, after, long pressing, short pressing ... and nothing.
How can I fix this?
Thank you.
Later: I've made myself a jig. I'll post a photo with it later when I'll manage to get this done.
Later2: **** IT! The jig worked just fine, entered download mode a couple of times. Noticed the counter was still the same, but I didn't care as long as I had could access the download mode. Now the jig is useless ... the download mode no longer shows up. The solding is fine, but I don't see any reason for the jig to stop working. Any ideas?
MUIE DUTZU!
Bump!
I solved the problem minutes ago. Here's what happened:
1)I was getting the NAND error because the KIES service was still running, althou the processes were killed;
2)The USB cable I was using wasn't working as expected, althou the drivers were installed correctly;
3)The ROM I was trying to flash isn't compatible with 9100G, that's why I had bricked it;
4)When I was unable to access download mode, I've made myself a JIT and succeded to flash a new kernel, but suddenly it stopped working; the JIT was no longer able to enter the download mode ... because the device's battery was empty;
5)Finally I flashed a STOCK GINGERBREAD ROM through PDA and everything went good.
Thanks ... for the views.
Hope this helps someone else.

S3 entered boot loop with red exclamation present

So I've been using my S3 GT-I9300 for a few weeks with Ultima Rom v13 and everything was fine until a few moments ago. My phone entered a boot loop. I cannot access recovery mode as the phone restarts a few seconds after the recovery menu opens and I cannot access download mode either as it also restarted a few seconds after i start download mode. I would take my phone in but the problem is that I have the red exclamation mark in the top left corner and don't know how it affects the warranty. This is the second time this has happened to me although the first time i did not have the red exclamation even though i was using a custom rom. The last time i gave it in for repairs my phone was ready for collection about 2 hours after I handed it in so I'm guessing there is a way to restore it. Anybody know how to deal with this?
You can only get rid of the exclamation mark by ressetting the flash counter, which you can't do because you can't boot to android.
You can try reflash stock rom via odin but I don't hold out much hope

Which is what I just said. Although not sure where you're getting "should help" from.since we dont know the root cause, we can't know the solution. Any amount of help we gauge is purely a guess

When you use flash counter reset on custom ROM, sometimes the count may still show 1 even after reset. I had this problem earlier before sending to warranty.
This is what I did to remove the ! mark and reset the counter to 0
1. Flash stock firmware (counter still will shows 1, don't worry.)
2. Root your device
3. Install flash counter and reset. Flash back stock firmware again. Reboot.
# In case you're stuck on bootloop after flashing stock firmware, get into recovery mode and factory reset your device. Reboot.
It worked for me, I hope it should workfor you too. In case you're stuck on bootloop after flashing stock firmware, get into recovery mode and factory reset your device. Reboot.
This is the second time I've had this happen to me. The problem is that I can't get into download mode because the phone reboots as soon as I open download mode. The first time i was on an older version without the red exclamation. Last time I gave it in my phone was ready a few hours later so I'm curios to know how else I can fix it
Seems like the power button is broken or stuck. Maybe thats why it keeps rebooting even in download or recovery.
So I was able to get it into download mode. What I did was plug it in to my PC then while it was rebooting i would enter download mode and before it rebooted again I removed the battery while it was still plugged in. This allowed me to press volume up and enter download mode. I am going to flash stock firmware and see what happened. It very strange though. It stays in download mode but as soon as i put the battery in the phone reboots. I'll see what happens after the flash
So i flashed the stock firmware and everything went fine according to Odin. When I put the battery back in the phone was still in a boot loop except there is no red exclamation mark.
For warranty purposes, would it still be valid id download mode says
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status:Custom
No warranty is void with rom count and modified custom status .

[Q] SIII will not boot

Hi
So I've had my Samsung SIII for just over 18 months, and it's all worked fine etc. I've never rooted it or anything.
But this morning it will not boot up. When I try to switch it on the start up sequence happens, but it gets stuck on the flashing Samsung splash screen. If I turn it off it just restarts and ends up back on that screen. The only way to stop it is to take the battery out.
I've tried starting it in recovery mode (power+home button+vol up), but the standing, open android just flashes and I end up with the android lay down with the red exclamation mark from there. It then loops between the two androids and the Samsung SIII start up logo screen. I have tried to press the volume buttons whilst on the red exclamation mark screen but cannot get to anywhere from it.
However, it will load the download mode (power+home button+ vol down) just fine.
I have looked all over but most people encountering anything similar have rooted their devices, which I have not.
Also, last week I lost all of my contacts which were stored on the device (I don't know why) but that might have something to do with it.
I don't particularly want to hard reset the phone and lose everything, but if it's the only solution I will do.
Thanks.
In download mode is the product number shown or a blank?
If it shows i9300 then you have a good chance of flashing either a full stock rom or a rescue firmware (see general forum) using odin. You will need to factory reset in recovery afterward, but your data is almost certainly unrecoverable.
If the product number is blank then you have partial SDS and require a new motherboard.

Do has boomboomer said above but as a last resort before flashing back to stock or a rescue firmware if you flash PhilZ recovery in download mode with odin.You then have a Aroma option in PhilZ recovery to browse and copy phone files so you may be able to recover some data pictures etc.
Please read PhilZ thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << and the special features thread about Aroma file manager in post #3
Please note use as a last resort to get your data back! and read everything! Also all this is presuming you can get into PhilZ recovery after flashing..
I'm having the same problem , been looking through lots of topics. When I switch on the phone it's not booting android guy lays on his back. Download mode and Android Recovery are in my range.
I've been trying to flash stock-firmware from sammobile.com with ODIN but no effect , I mean It all went OK in Odin Operation list than fially phone reset and PASS. But this android guy is still laying on his back and making fun of me xD
Before trying to get back to stock ROM, I've had rooted phone and installed RR with 4.4.2 for S3, now I don't have a clue what shall I do next ...
Any ideas ? (the noob[me] have asked )

[Q] Galaxy s2 not booting after root...want to restore to original settings

I am new to rooting, today i tried my first root through Odin on my galaxy s2 I9100. I believe I downloaded the correct kernel after I checked it under 'about' on my phone etc, and I downloaded and installed the samsung drivers, as well as kies, however when I connected my phone to Odin after entering download mode, the 'ID:COM' was not yellow as it should be - (without knowing this was wrong) i continued with the root anyway and it eventually finished on 'reset'. Without really knowing what to do I disconnected my phone and tried resetting it, after which Odin displayed 'pass' however now when I try to reboot my phone it just displays the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark and will not boot at all. I can still enter download mode but simply cannot boot my phone.
If anyone knows where I have gone wrong and what I need to do to root my phone properly that would be of great help, if not please could someone suggest how I can completely restore the phone back to its previous settings (as it is not my phone!!!) I am not fussed about the root count or if it still displays the yellow triangle, i just want it to fully boot or even better be rooted.
What kernel did you use?
Do not worry. I have encounter same problem. what I have done is download original update from sammobile and by using odin 1.85 i have install it. so try it.
