Hi there..
Sorry if this question have been asked before but it seems i can't find the actual step on how to eliminate these little red dot on my phone GT-I9305. I bought the phone while it's on 4.1.1 under XXALI5 build number.
I root it via ExynosAbuse 1.40 then i TriangleAway it to reset binary counter. Unfortunately now i have that little red dot.
May i know the right way to eliminate this.?
Thank you and sorry for my poor English.
you have to be completely stock and not rooted after applying TA.
why is it a problem anyway?

Not a big problem actually. I just looking IF there is a way where i can eliminate those red dot and still have a rooted phone.
While i was on GT-I9300..this can be done by flashing old bootloader.
I don't know that it's different with GT-I9305 where i must be completely on stock and not rooted in order to eliminate those red dot.
Anyway..thanks for clarify the situation to me.
The kernel and recovery both need to be stock; I would suggest flashing, for instance, one of the packages in the pre-rooted stock ROMs thread since you want to stay rooted, and then seeing if TriangleAway works. If you have already installed CWM or some other custom recovery, the pinned toolkit thread in the development section includes the stock recovery. As far as I know, you can't use a custom recovery and keep the flash counter at 0.

I don't mind the binary counter not zero or the phone status is modified. I just want a rooted phone without that red dot.
Thank for the link there. Looks like i need to flash full stock firmware first then root it with one of those pre-rooted stock roms.
so why do you want it? trying to understand you
good to know...

Hi,
Root via ExynosAbuse not increment the flash counter. (you re not full root (if it install supersu, not install busybox..) and you can unroot in the app settings.) Just the phone status is modified. So you don't need Triangle Away
I had root my GT-I9305 when have 4.1.1 ROMs with ExynosAbuse. Then I flashed a 4.1.2 ROMs stock, and now, all my status are OK.
I'm not sure it's a good thing to triangle away a phone root by ExynosAbuse app...( I never saw this red dot on my screen )
Anyway, if this red dot is always here after a flash, you'll probably need to triangle away.

Hi guys,
I wonder if this is possible.. and forgive me if this has been asked before... but
can I install a custom kernel on my Note?
The Kernel version is DXLC2 and its not yet rooted.. Can I install, say Franco's kernel, or SpeedMod thru Recovery Mode ? (copying the zip kernel in the internal SD of my phone)
Would that be possible w/o root?
TIA
No. You should be rooted..................
Maybe you can try first and let us know the result. Like myth-buster, you know..
No, you cannot..
Not "you should be rooted", or "try it". You must be rooted. period.
In the first instance i suggest you spend some time reading threads about Android and rooting and flashing.
ok thanks.. much appreciated
No u cannot.....
Xperian using xda app
Well.. that answers it.. I appreciate all your answers guys... I thought I could just leave my warranty intact while flashing on a custom kernel.. but I guess, that's not the case then.. I really need to root my Note and then flash custom kernel away...
Guess you can't have the best of both worlds...
anyway.. again..thanks to all.....
I would say you can do that. I tried it before with my unrooted LA1. The problem is with unrooted phone you can't flash custom kernel with CWM or Mobile Odin because these require root. The only option you have is PC Odin. It WILL work, but it will invoke yellow triangle and increase custom binary counter.
You have to be rooted. Period !!
Also :-
Read the Stickies in the Development section and follow the methods there to the dot and you can save yourself from the yellow triangle and increasing the binary counter. And later anytime can restore it back to stock just in case the situation arises of sending you phone to samsung !!
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!
To anyone that can point me in the right direction....
Just got my note this morning - itching to get it rooted...ive had a fair few phones in the past (just coming from a sensation) which i rooted and reflashed nearly every week. used to have a galaxy tab which i also rooted etc etc so im ok with odin, adb etc etc.....the only problem i have is where to start - theres a million roms to choose from and im not sure where to go
my kernel is 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
baseband is N7000XXLA4
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the tools that i need access to...
thanks to anyone that can help

I can see that mine isnt directly rootable and know that ive got to go to an older rom but which one??
You can have any older ROM, listed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
select any from directly rootable ROM, I am suggesting this one
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1 --------------------India
as this is non wipe N rootable, you won't lose data.
Alternately, select from 4th line of my signature, which is modified pre rooted ROM
Well, first and foremost thanks for replying so fast! it'd be nice to get this flashed as soon as possible -ive got no data to keep as its new to me so ive got yours downloading now (take about another hour from what i can see) - so, once ive got your rom is it just a case of using oding to upload it (its a while since ive had a tab) so im a bit rusty.....+ i take it the next step is CWM?? is that right??
sorry - all the questions - obviously im downloading your interim rom to get it rooted - whats the best ics rom at the moment....?

There is no best rom as they all differ. I'd suggest Imilka's AOSP rom ( if you like AOSP that is ). It's fast, clean and stable.

yes, just use PC odin to flash ROM, if you have any query, refer to post #2 of thread, i have mention in previous msg.
yeah, next is to get CWM
And, finally you can update to latest ROM by using CWM to keep root intact.

What is "not directly rootable"? You can flash CF/Speedmod/Franco/Abyss kernel over any stock rom to get root. You are anyways asking to downgrade ROM using PC ODIN which is going to increase the counter. Why not flash only one of these kernels using PC ODIN?
From the Moderator,
Please clarify your statement. It is not entirely accurate. The Phone needs to be unlocked 1st before any rooting can occur. Secondly, Not All kernels will provide rooting, UNLESS they are written and configured to do so.
People's knowledge level in XDA are from total noob to expert, so it is highly advisable to provide more succinct complete postings e.g. do A then B then etc. That way, people do not misunderstand your posting.

Since how long you are on N7000 forum? looking you are since long on XDA (just seen U R developer)
May i have not uttered more thn three four words, if it was stated by newbie.
When you are 'recognized developer' it puts lot weight on every word you spoke. Hope you can consider to review again your advise.
Can you confirm once again to your statement?
Flash stock ROM using PC odin raise counter?
Flashing CF/Franco/Abyss with PC odin, won't raise counter?
I do believe, your statement is completely wrong. PC odin never raise counter, if you flash STOCK ROM. But any custom Kernel you have described, if flashed with PC Odin will certainly raise counter. Though you are recognized developer, but seems you are new to N7000 develpment.
I havent gone anywhere - still havent got your rooted file - im about 70% of the way there - this has got to be the slowest download ever!!
At last - ive got your rooted file - just extracted it and theres just one file in there - i thought with odin you had individual files....how do i load this one on....

You're 100% wrong. PC Odin won't raise the binary counter as long as it's a stock ROM. The OP needs to flash an older stock ROM so he can root and then do whatever he wants to do. The binary counter will get raised if he flashes a custom ROM with PC Odin.
PC Odin: Stock ROM's
Mobile Odin and CWM: Stock and custom ROM's
ok - i got there in the end - Firstly i like to thank Dr.Ketan for pointing me in the right direction.....i have a few post-type questions.....
i flashed the rom you suggested (the one that was already rooted) - while it went on ok - while it was in that state i lost the ability to use the keyboard - when i type anything in the key would flash up but the it came up with "null" everytime i hit a key...not too much of a problem as it was only a temporary rom.
Also when i flashed the ics rom you suggested - imilka - it flashed.....then at the boot screen it kept freezing (at the boot animation) - i popped the battery a few times and then it eventually started.....and its been fine since....anyone else ever had that/is that the norm...?
Finally - obviously ive removed the stock rom and im now on ics....is there a way i can download all of the stylus apps and put them back in (one of the reasons i bought a note was to use the stylus - bit gimmicky but it would be nice to mess around with it)
Also - i had to install clockwork mod from the market (i have a paid app version of it) - to actually get into clockwork mod....how to i get to cwm from a cold boot - i read that you had to hold down the vol up and down and hit the power - mine just boots - unless im doing something wrong but, when its fully booted i can go to cwm and restart from there and i can go in.....
Sorry about all the questions but, its a great phone, just want to start messing around with it...new toy!
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
Comfy
Keyboard null issue is common, that usually manage by flashing other rom or with flashing csc, but you have manage it so nothing to discuss.
booting error is routinely termed as bootloop, also common,particularly switching between gb n ics rom. Usually it solved with wipe cache n wipe data.
Sorry abt stylus appl, i have no expirence of ics, as i never installed any custom rom.(n it was not me suggested ics b'coz m noob for custom rom)
Market version of cwm is totally different n won't work on note.
there is custom kernel for note, which having same functiin like cwm.

hi all, it s my first thread
i have a new samsung galaxy note never rooted, never updated, on gingerbread 2.3.5.
I want to know if i must root my device before doing this to update to ICS .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If you want stock ICS you can just flash the required files using ODIN, If you want a custom ICS ROM then you will either have to flash a safe kernel and cwm (some kernels have cwm built in) then update that way, You may also have to flash ICS through ODIN, then a kernel, then a rom. read the requirements in the OP
If you let me know which ROM you want i can try help you through the process.

There´s no need to root your phone in order to update, but if you flash it thru PC Odin you will get the yellow triangle and will raise the binary counter. Besides, with the hardbrick bug around maybe is not the best idea to update now. You should hold on a bit until Samsung releases the fix for the bug....
thanks
i want to install stock ics rom, so i do like in the guide without rooting my note on gingerbread (before updating) ?
I upgraded to stock ICS by just flashing it via ODIN, Dont worry about the binary count or yellow triangle if you get it, It can be removed. I have it but wont remove it till i need to send it back.
But as glevitan said, Its best to stay on GB if you feel anxious about upgrading, There isnt a huge difference between the 2 anyway.
If you dont care and you are a dare devil who laughs in the face of danger, Just be sure to read read read all the guides.
If in doubt..............ASK !
Hey guys;
very quick intro:
Ive had an X10 and GalaxyS and I have plenty of experience in rooting and flashing.
I got my Note through Crazy Johns, which is an Aussie operator. We are yet to get ICS and I imagine it will be a long time before we do.
My plan is to flash a rootable rom, root, CWM, flash, then upgrade to some non stock ICS distro. If I ever have an issue I cant fix myself, I will reflash the software back to some stock.
My problem is, I cant find my stock rom to download. They are all a little bit different. In XDA's experience, has the average mobile repairman ever checked? If I send it away, are they likely to void warranty because it isnt the original stock ROM? Is there a way I can backup my stock rom?
Also, will flashing to a stock GB rom remove CWM and the root? I had a bad experience with my X10 and they wouldnt repair it because I had loaded 2.1 before it came out in Aus.
Sorry that grew into a long post, but this is the only thing stopping me from rooting RIGHT NOW, haha.
Thanks XDA'ers.

Go to www.sammobile.com and download any rom you want. If you flash stock rom to your note your root and CMW will be removed.
Youre a gentleman and a scholar sir. Thanks. And I dont have to worry about the yellow triangle do I?

Pick the rom with letter K at the end of the line. K means kies its official rom it will not produced yellow triangle if you flash it. Use mobileodin from the google market for easy installation.
Would you recommend mobile odin over CWM or regular odin?
VincentRC said:

I recommend mobileodin because you can flash anything from a custom kernel to non official rom and will not produced a yellow triangle. Mobile odin is for tar files and CWM is for zip files.
You can do all things in the comport of your phone. You dont need a computer to do it.
So, I guess if I flash custom firmware through CWM it will add to the triangle, then I triangleaway, then I flash back to stock with mobile odin, and I will have a completely fresh virgin system, correct?
Somehow this is still easier than flashing the PSP, but its giving me flashbacks. The X10 and Galaxy S was a lot easier than this, haha

If you flash custom rom through CWM recovery it will not produce yellow triangle. If you flash cf root to get CMW by using pc odin it will certainly produce a triangle but if you use mobileodin to flash cf root of course no triangle.

Hi Ive searched for ages but cant find an answer to this seemingly simple question.
I just purchased a i9305 which I'm trying to return to stock ROM. Problem is I've no idea what the original ROM was. The phone came with a modified rom and even though I can reset the flash counter and get it to say Samsung official ROM in ODIN, however it always says "sytem status:Modified."
Also in About>status it always says modifed-even with stock rom.
Cant get hold of the seller atm so I'm asking if theres a way to tell what the inherent stock rom of the phone is-not just the rom version I have installed now??
Thanks for your help, I hope i made myself somewhat clear.
Hey,
no way. I don't think there is a history.
Tell more about your phone, and maybe someone has the same and can tell you.
Btw. to get the modified status away, you have to install stock rom (kernel, boot, recovery and so on) and reset the flash counter. The device will check on every boot for custom things and set the counter to 1, if something were found.

You mean the phone doesn't really know what original factory version it was?
I installed a stock rom, reset the counter with triangle away and it even updated through Samsung kies after that. But still says modified.
Maybe I didn't install all the parts of stock rom? You said kernel etc so what exact elements do I have to make sure to install?
Thanks
Maybe. I know the csc will be stored, if it's a branded one. Thats all i know.
A complete stock rom contains system, hidden, recovery, data, modem. boot images.
So install with "mobile odin" (or odin from a pc) the recovery and boot image, restart, reset counter, restart. And check. If you install an original boot image, the kernel will also be stock.
Have you read other help threads? Some users have these issues also with stock roms, they had it from the beginning.
If you think, all is done and all went good without errors, you are maybe one of these users.
thanks.
By 'the recovery and boot image' do you mean PDA and bootloader options?
This is the current status info in 'About':
Model no: GT-i9305
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version: i9305XXBLL5
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.31-746327
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 26 etc...
2012
Build number: JZ054K.I9305XXBLL5
Then in Status:
Serial number: R31C914MNNK
Do I have stock kernel and recovery?
Thanks!

But isnt my warranty void if it still says 'SYSTEM STATUS: MODIFIED'??
Just wanted to let you know I sorted it.
I did the folowing, not sure which part or all bits helped.
Installed older stock kernel.
Installed old stock recovery.
In recovery mode did cache wipe AND full factory rest.
Then phone showed Status:Normal
and in ODIN showed No flash count and official and official!!!
Cheers. Great News.
Your warranty is void, if the status is modified.
i9305 bootloader
Is it possible to flash an older bootloader from ICS or 4.1.1 on my i9305?
I got the new bootloader when I flashed the 4.1.2 and now Triangle Away don't work anymore and I reaaly need it to root my phone and flash a new kernel and CWM...
Is it possible? I didn't found any answer about this... :S

TA still works if you use everything stock. And if you don't, then what's the point in resetting the counter? They'll deny warranty anyway

It won't reset the counter neither change the status with this new bootloaders.
But if I have my phone with everything stock why the hell will they deny the waranty, if the counter is 0 and the status is normal?
On 4.1.1 I had root on my phone and TA reseted the counter and put the status normal, and I needed to send it to warranty and they don't deny it, although I was with a custom rom...

You are wrong. TA works perfectly with the latest bootloader, as long as you're absolutely stock. As in, stock unrooted ROM, stock recovery. And if you're not using stock, then you don't need TA because they will deny you warranty if you're on a custom ROM or not completely stock. That's what I meant
