You can remove the yellow triangle by
1) Flashing back to the original Kernel
2) resetting the binary counter using USB Jig (Check Ebay for "USB Jig Samsung Galaxy S2" and Youtube for instructions)
The yellow triangle is just a warning that you have flashed insecure kernel and i see no danger in that.

Thanks for the reply
as i sad before, i didn't made a backup of stock kernel... where can i find a stock kernel for europe model? i kind a need it... i'll may be returning my phone for service check

Can use CheckFUS to download the European firmware. See this thread.

Yes..Use the ODIN and PDA option to flash the firmware..
You mentioned you will sent phone to service.
Your binary counter will not be reset even though you flash the original firmware.
See if you can buy a USB jig. It might be handy for you always to unbrick you device, in case u brick/semi-brick it.

You can also home make USB jig from a spare micro USB cable. See instructions here. But be careful of the terminals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0

The main function of the Yellow Triangle, is to show to Samsung Service that you did something that violates the warranty.
So Samsung Service can tell you:
"You have to pay to repair this device, you have violated the warranty."

Hi,
I installed the CWM and made a backup of the ROM, but when I try to install the SU file (Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip) I get this error (see attached file).
MD5 Mismatch from both locations; the MD5 I get from the files is "fc462fa0630379edbe10006b1d19d9b1"
Thanks a lot

Download the file n try again.
Sometimes it may get corrupted during initial download.

I tried few times but the problem don't disappear; Can anybody post the file in another server?
Thanks a lot

I've got the same error when flashed superuser over new 2.3.5 today. Surprisingly all still worked perfectly - su is installed and superuser app works.
Maybe because I didn't hard reset and I already had my previous firmware rooted.

Very useful,thanks for all!
Works perfect on my device.

A MD5 mismatch means your file is corrupted.
I think superuser should not be installed over another superuser. It is not clear to me why you do that.
If you have problems with superuser, please contact ChainsDD, the developer of Superuser.

Hello.
Quick question/s
1. Will my download count increase if I make a backup of my current android version?
2. Will my warranty be voided when I install CWM in my GSR? I do not have acess to a USB jig so I can not reset the counter....
Thank you.

Installing CWM with Odin does not increase the counter.
Making a backup with CWM does not increase the counter.
Installing superuser with CWM does not increase the counter.
Installing the "ardatdat custom kernel with root+overclock" with CWM does not increase the counter.
Installing a stock rom does not increase the counter.

Hi,
I installed CWM and and made a backup of the stock-rom. Then I wanted to copy the backup-file to my pc, but i cant find the clockworkmod/backup folder. There is only a clockworkmod folder and that one is empty. Its the same on the pc and in android. The weird thing is, that i can see the folder and the backup-file in CWM. So I can restore in cwm, but I want to make a backup of the backup to my pc.
Who can help?

what can i do now
try to find a tar.md5 package with a .pit file specifically for your device..,
alternately try flashing a stock Honeycomb ROM.. and booting into recovery and factory reset.
Most importantly research and read, If you can get into Download mode you're 90%+ will be OK
Get ClockworkMod recovery from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112667
Use odin to flash it
boot to recovery
wipe system and cache
use odin to install your stock rom again
boot

Download mode problem

Ready to flash my first custom rom.. but when i go to enter download mode (3 keys, volume down) I get the blue downloading screen straight away, like while flashing rom . No usb in, not came in contact with odin before.
When I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 on kies, windows may have searched for drivers too quickly (while still installing) but wasn't pulled out. All went fine, but on phones boot kies didn't find the device that time. Now I enter kies and it states 'install not complete(false) recover?' but that approach also needs down mode!
Factory reset and sd out made no difference.
Is there any other way to enter download mode?
Or show kies the download's done maybe?
update.zip from sim any use?
I'll donate really want this rom
Cheers guys
try this..

Well, i think there is a problem with the display if is booting and in recovery is the same. You can try to flash with odin stock firmware but you have to do it "blind". Search for odin tutorial anf follow step by step even if you don't see enithing on screen.

If you want to go blind into download mode maybe the following will help:
1: hold power volume down and home button for around 5/6 seconds then let them go
2: press the volume up key and see if odin recognize the device.

Before we proceed, make sure:
1-You have installed your Samsung Galaxy SII Plus GT-I9105/P USB drivers on your PC.
2-You need to enable USB debugging mode (Settings>Developer options) which is deactivated by default.
3-Your SII Plus GT-I9105/P should have 70-80% charge remaining.
4-Your SII Plus GT-I9105/P should be factory unlocked.
5-Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data stored in phone memory in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.
6-Make sure that kies program is not running & disable antivirus.
How to do it:
Step 1) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up. (For some phones, when you see the construction Android robot and a triangle, press Power again to confirm to enter into Download Mode).
Step 2) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy SII Plus GT-I9105/P to your computer.
Step 3) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue and will show the COM port number.
Step 4) unzip the downlowded file, u will get a Home.tar file.
Step 5) click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the file "xxxx.tar.md5"
Step 6) check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
!!!!DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY!!!!
Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Pass". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic)
It is recommended to make hard reset after flashing to have a fresh official firmware.

[Q] Some other functions of my device not working.

Hi there. I need help for my device. After I rooted my Samsung galaxy core I8262 i'v planned on installing the CWM Recovery. But before that, I tried to back up my device using the TITANIUM Backup. While the backup procedure is on the process my phone shuts down (because the battery is low i guess). After then, when i turned on my phone, the boot process stops only at the SAMSUNG logo. But after a couple of restarts (maybe 10 i guess) my phones passes the boot process of the SAMSUNG logo. Now while i'm using my device I've found out some other malfunctions like:
1) I can't detect and bluetooth devices even other devices tried to detect me but its undescoverable.
2) I can connect to a hotspot device, but i cant access the Internet even if it has a connection.
So far those where the problems that i had encountered yet after the backup problem occurs. What should I do in this kind problem? Should i upgrade my firmware?
Thanks

Im new in this ^_^
Download the stock firmware from the site SamMobile, then turn off your phone and press Power + Volume ↓ + Home and vibrates when the phone leaves the power and press volume ↑. Then connect your phone to the PC, open odin, click pda and select the file . md5 of the stock rom you downloaded and click start.

how to back to stock rom

Dear All,
I would like to kindly ask you how to back to stock rom?
I found thread with the step-by-step, but i am not able to remove the battery from my tablet.
I have currently cm 10.1.3., tablet: gt-p5100 (3g+wifi)
Thank you in advance.
Rgrds
well, there is no need for removing battery, first backup all your data also in internal storage , Use triangleAway to reset your counter for Official system status and getting OTA updates, download it , open and grant it supersu, click reset flash counter , when its done , power off , press vol down plus the power button it will say promt to continue , click vol up to continue , install usb drivers on your pc , connect your tablet to pc , open odin it should say added in the white info box , click on PDA and select the stock rom file "tar.md5" you downloaded from sammobile and then press start wait for it to end and then reboots , after that unplug your tablet , hold on your power button it'll reboot now quickly press on vol up + power again then release power when you the tablet logo appears and then in recovery select wipe data and perform it then click reboot and voila you got your stock rom back

hi,
I have another issue with my tablet.
When the flashing was done and the device was rebooted, my tablet starts with white screen. unfortunately i am not able to add the link from the outside of the xda forum.
I've tried to flash it with official Polish ROM (version 4.2.2) branded by T-Mobile.
