[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

[Q] note bricked - need advices

Hello,
I own a galaxy note n7000, rom ICS xxlpy, since a little bit than 1 week.
for some reason, I would like to root it, and followed this tuto :
http://www.galaxynote.fr/rooter-facilement-les-roms-stock-ics-sans-cwm-triangle-jaune-t4995.html
it is a french traduction from a tuto found here.
anyway, after having followed each step, i obtained no error, nothing which was different from the tuto.
after a reboot, my galaxy was unable to boot.
I was blocked on the first screen : samsung galaxy note GT-N7000 black scree, text in white color.
today : I can go in recovery, I can go in download mode, but I cannot boot.
so I have decided to send it to repair. it si why I need advices :
- what is exactly the yellow triangle ? where I can see it, how I can check if I have it or not (what manipulation to do to see it ?)
- how can I test my flash counter ?
I was on ICS stock, but I don't know if the manipulation in the Tuto had increase or not the flash counter ?
when I am in download mode, I can see : custom binary download : no, current binary : samsung Official. is it enough to get warranty ?
any advice allowing me to get back my device, with the maximum luck to get it repaired would be apreciate.
thanks
Olivier

My understandings are the yellow triangle shows up on the splash screen when it says galaxy note before boot animation and it is if you has a custom kernel installed, when you go to download mode it would say you are not on samsung official and have a flash counter so if it says 0 then you have nothing to worry about.
It sounds though that your device may not be fully bricked if you can access recovery and download mode, I would try to flash chainfires cfroot kernel for your firmware so the LPY v5.5 which is on his thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
If it works it will increase you flash counter and you will see the yellow triangle on start up.

Have you tried to use PC Odin to go back to stock GB?

Hi,
- so the yellow triangle should be visible on the normal splash screen, which we can see just after having switch on the device ?
I do't have this triangle.
- no, I don't have tried to revert to GB with odin.
to be honnest, I am affraid since I have bricked ( my be soft bricked ?) my device.
it is also why I ask for advice
may be I can try to unbrick it, but what are my chance to be successfull ?
if I unbrick it, this device will bne reliable ? it is strange that following the Tutorial, with no error message, I have bricked it, after the reboot.
( I mean the bug which seem to be in the kernel or in ??? which has helped tp brick my device, will b fix with custom ? or I will be able to brick it easily again, in all case because my device is bad ?)
so many question in my head
thanks
Olivier

You could try to flash a pre rooted gb rom in pc odin. If flash goes through successfully then you should be ok but if it hangs on fctoryfs then you may have a damaged emmc and will need to send away for repair. It just sounds like you are soft bricked. I'm not sure what thread has the pre rooted gb roms but last time I flashed one there was no yellow triangle. I can not remember who at the moment but someone in the criskelo v7 ics thread has a link in his signature with instructions and all files needed.

Hi you are in a very similar situation in which i was in several days back. you can check out my video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH--qVK2h3g&feature=plcp
I have my Galaxy Note fully functional now. Since your flash counter is 0 and with "Official Samsung" and not seeing the yellow triangle may allow you to claim warranty. To get it fixed:
Do not try to flash any GB/ICS via odin or anything. DO NOT use CWM also.Basically DO NOT try to do anything yourself because currently you are NOT fully bricked so Samsung will be able to fix it for u under warranty. Just go to your local Samsung Service Center and tell them you had done a factory reset from Settings.(Make up a story but do not tell them tht you attempted to root it otherwise they will not repair it). Hopefully if you have warranty they should fix it. They fixed mine by replacing the motherboard because in my case it was the eMMC bug. Since your phone has similar symptoms they should also fix it for you. Hope this helps. Cheers

[Q] Yellow triangle with exclamation mark

I just rooted my phone yesterday and after that, I got this annoying problem.
Every time I boot my phone, there's this yellow triangle with an exclamation mark under Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
I see nothing wrong with my phone except that it drains battery quickly. I just flashed Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean today and it's still there.
What do you guys think is wrong with my phone? Did I somehow rooted it differently?
Be nice, I'm kind of new with rooting and flashing roms.

Ok, this has been covered here many times. Samsung has built a binary counter on their devices to detect unofficial software flashed. That is why, you have to flash via mobile Odin and root with Philz Kernel on stock recovery to avoid that.
Now, you can use a jig to remove the yellow triangle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
If you don't have a jig, then you can use this app by chainfire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

OTA Update will not fix the problem...
That means you root your phone with a custom firmware...
You have to use Triangle Away by Chainfire.It removes Custom Binary and sets firmware to Official so you don't have the triangle sex with you every time you boot up your phone

[Q] How to go back to Samsung ROM without rising the flash counter?

Hi. I've got a Galaxy Note N7000, currently on SlimBean 4.2.2. I flashed this ROM in the stock Samsung recovery so the flash counter didn't rise, nor the yellow exclamation mark did appear on the boot screen and that's because because I didn't use Odin, not even once with this phone.
Now I'm selling the phone and I want to flash latest Samsung official ROM and I'm asking how to do it without raising the flash counter or making the yellow exclamation mark appear? Is it ok to flash some Samsung official ROM straight from SlimBean 4.2.2 using Odin in a way that the phone would appear like it have never been modded in the first place?

If you don't have a raised flash counter or yellow triangle (which it sounds like you don't) then I would format system/data/preload etc then boot to download mode and flash stock rom with pc odin. In fact you probably don't even need to do the formats but just an extra precaution

yellow triangle only shows when you flash a custom ROM or kernel (or root a stock rom).
for stock roms, it doesnt show.
and for reset the flash counter, use triangle away (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway)
good luck

Thanks for the replies. So if I flash Samsung official ROM with Odin, the flashh counter will not rise and the yellow exclamation mark will not appear AND the phone will look like it has never been modified AND my warranty will still be valid, i.e. Samsung would accept my phone for repair if it ever gets broken.?
