You have just yellow triangle or raised binnary count too?
you can read counter, when you enter on download mode. Lt upper corner it will show.
Just yellow triangle is there, thn remove with CF Root kernel.
Counter can only be reset with hardware tool called 'Jig'

Its just a yellow triangle with a "!" sign. Its not really a problem but its just bothering me every time I turn my phone on.

[Q] TriangleAway

Can anyone confirm TriangleAway can be used on the leaked ICS for the Galaxy note?
Chanfire said some user reported it did in his Galaxy S2 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114, but I want to double check before using it.
Worked fine for me using PC odin.

Forget about Odin. Just install the app normally and it should work. It did for me and countless others: I've yet to hear someone reporting a problem with the process.
Yup triangle away works perfectly. Go ahead use it

If m not wrong the triangle that you get when you press volume down + home button + power button then it is a warning sign that you gonna make changes which are not supposed to be made as per the manufacturer. There shouldn't be a triangle in the bottom when you reboot you Note and where it says before loading the boot animation Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000. If its there then it gets fixed by Triangle Away.
CHeers!

Yeap, that triangle is just a warning to be careful with download mode.
Anyway, I can now confirm the app indeed works with the Note. I just used it, no more triangle and cero counts in download mode.
Thank you everybody. Specially Chainfire!

i never had triangle on boot screen.. my counter was 1 but when i used this apk counter set to 0 & triangle appears on Download mode
I will suggest you read what is written in above posts carefully. And if u are still apprehensive then go ahead find a stock non rooted note and go to download mode in tht and see if the triangle is there or not.
Thanks

Triangle only in download mode or on every booting?
b'coz download triangle is normal.
For clarity:
A brand new stock out of the box note will show a yellow triangle in download mode. This is perfectly normal, and is not a problem.
Triangleaway and other methods are intended to remove the yellow triangle that CAN appear on your regular boot screen - NOT the download mode screen.

Thanks for the help....hope he understands....i have been trying to tell him the same thing from that time
I have a problem. Everytime I try to run the application, it force closes when I'm about to clear my binary count. I tried it on an older version, 1.10, which worked before but now that also FCs. I'm on AOSP based on Milestone by eaglerazor123.
Anybody have an idea how to go about the problem? my binary count is an 2.
And also, everytime I try to flash a new ROM, it either hangs up during the installation or I get a black screen after the Samsung logo ( with the yellow triangle). Is that in anyway related?
Thank you. Hope someone can help me.

Sounds to me that you don't have proper root. Why don't you use any Explorer with root permissions and try to paste and/or delete something from your system folder? Tell us what happens.

Current ICS CWMR is not working as it should, that's a known issue. If you want to go back to GB, for instance, first you have to flash a GB kernel to get its CWMR, reboot recovery, then do your stuff (wipes, flashing a new Rom, restore etc.)

So CWMR indeed has an issue? Good to know! I flashed Imilka's aosp then wanted to come back to ics leak and got the same error in recovery. I thought I was loser for not doing it right haha.
I'll look for a thread to flash another recovery so I can flash some roms

[Q] Concerning the yellow triangle.

What does the yellow triangle mean? Why do people get it and what's the risk if you try to remove it using triangle away? I recently flashed the rocket ROM for the first time but didn't get the triangle?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Yellow triangle appears when you flash custom kernels through PC Odin, and it usually means that your warranty is void.
Flashing stuff using Mobile Odin and/or CWMR does not produce the triangle.
Triangle Away works like a charm if you are on ICS, used it myself.
it indicates flashing of non stock rom which samsung use to see if the warrenty is still valid
*Yellow Triangle is the only thing you'll ever hate about your Galaxy Note.
Basically, it is an indicator for Samsung to see if you've ever flashed any CustomROM on your device. If you get the yellow triangle, your warranty is gone forever!
However, you NEVER get this thing if you use CWM Recovery to play around with ROMs or use Odin for PC to install STOCK ROM! If you install a Custom ROM with PC Odin, chances are that you'll end up getting the yellow triangle.
Though, it can be removed using jigs and even an app (Sorry, I don't remember the name), it has it's own risks. I am not really clear about those either but I've heard that you might end up bricking your phone!

Then why did I not get the Triangle when I flashed the AbyssKernel?

because you flashed it via CWM and those installs do not increase the binary counter show an update in firmware

Buy ChainFire's TriangleAway from playstore, download and install it on your Note.
For details on how to run this app. Go to youtube and watch this guy makes a tutorial for that - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa-t-8ypcYs (credits to the uploader)

how can i check my flash counter?

if I only upgraded to stock samsung firmware roms, will my counter still be triggerd? and how would I check before I send it for service?
No, the updates from Samsung will not trigger the flash counter. You can check this by restarting your phone - if you see a yellow triangle during the loading screen, then it was activated; if not, then everything is ok.
Since there are no custom kernels or recoveries for our device just yet, I don't think you would even have something to trigger it with.
