Maybe a nood question, but, is it normal that the triangle shows on download mode screen? Cos i rooted my phone and then i unrooted it. I didnt flash any custom or official roms yet. Imma send this back to samsung because of the screen. So its for warranty purposes thats why i asked. TIA!

Yes, on download mode its normal, then you press volume up to go to odin mode.

Thanks. So is it safe to send it back for warranty?

Yep, as long as you have stock firmware and kernel, and when you go into download mode, it says SAMSUNG OFFICIAL and COUNTER is ZERO. But if you just rooted and unrooted using zergrush or similar, you are good to go.
Already unrooted with zergrush. Thanks for your time.

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.

you might have did 'smthing' with PC odin in wrong way.
Read this to remove It

Remember it just remove triangle, Not Binnary counter, if raised
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?

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!

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

But I have note2 and no yellow traingle start but note2 have a flash counter I see in download mode.
I want to root mini but I cant see flash counter.I want to know this device have 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.?
