Hello. I tried using the search button, but couldnt find anything. Sorry if I didnt look far enough into this before posting.
I have an Inspire 4g, and 2 days ago I rooted it, so that I may instal the sound mod. Im still running the stock rom. Well tonight, I tried to do a factory update, and now my phone is frozen. On the screen is a white triangle, with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and the droid robot below it. How do I fix this? Im trying to not freak out, as this is my first "smart phone".
Please help!
Thanks Chris
What do you exactly mean with "factory update". Do you mean OTA update or did you flash RUU?
Phone is just propably in recovery mode. If it has been there for long time, pull battery out and reinsert it and try to boot.

If I recall correctly when your rooted you are NOT suppose to OTA update from carrier. You suppose to wait for the rooted version from XDA Devs and flash it.

Yeah, you're never supposed to update OTA from AT&T if you're rooted. Unfortunately you learned this the hard way . I'm not 100% sure of the fix, but the go to move always is try to get into HBOOT. Do this by turning of the phone and then press the vol. down rocker button and the power button at the same time. If you can get into HBOOT then you'll be able to get into recovery to flash a new ROM or restore a back-up.

Chris, do as Bacon told you...try booting into hboot (Power + volume down) and check if you are still S-OFF (on the left corner you will see ACE PVT S-OFF or S-ON) if you are still S-OFF then you will have to try to flash a recovery image...
Chris,
I had the same issue when I first rooted. The process discussed above should fix it if you have a rom to flash on your sdcard, if you don't have a flashable rom, or can't access your sdcard through usb storage in your phone, pull your sdcard and put it into a reader to load a rom, then flash the rom using the instructions found in any number of threads about flashing custom roms. I am using IceColdSandwich v 4.2 and like it very much. Good luck.
Hey guys,
I have a problem: I restored my Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE i727r to stock (I had it rooted but for some reason it lagged so much that I decided to restore it back to stock Gingerbread). Anyway, I want to update to ICS through Samsung Kies but the thing is that Kies does not recognize my phone. I believe I actually know why... When you do into stock recovery mode (by holding VOLUME DOWN button at startup), a normal phone is supposed to say:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I727R
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
However my phone says this:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I727R
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES(4 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
1) How do I change this back to the way it is supposed to be (like just out of the box)?
2) Does this affect my warranty with Samsung? (despite the fact that my device is NOT rooted (confirmed with Root Check Basic))
3) Why did this happen/ What is this?
Any response will be appreciated ,
Thank you very much guys! I'll be waiting to hear from you!
Follow the link. This is a thread i made when starting out and notices my counter had veen tripped. 1st page 2nd post has a link to the counter reset. (I couldn't get the link here for some reason). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721080
You must have done some flashing in Odin. U say your not rooted but I assume u used to be. And yes your warranty is now void but that really doesn't matter much

You tripped your counter because you didn't use an official stock rom... It was modified
If you download a real rom from sammobile it won't trip the counter.
Or... Use the counter reset hack

here's another question?
the yellow triangle is it always there? i never noticed before if it was there or not but i see some programs that will get rid of it but really do you need to? i cant remember if my brand new never been flashed phone showed that triangle or not.

No the triangle isn't supposed to be there. It's from flashing unofficial firmware in Odin. Reset the counter and flash official stock firmware.

dude even using the reseter its still there. lol but who cares rogers not getting these phones back.
Don't know if you resolved our issue but you can try this if you haven't. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749021
chiming in here, i never realized it but i had a 1 count for CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD, , i dont know how long i had it because ive been flashing since i got the phone in april, and that message is so damn small i couldnt even see it, but i think i always had the yellow triangle when keeping the volume down button, but its not there when actually entering download mode when hitting the volume up button, which is where the custom rom counter is.
so i reflashed stock rogers via odin, it does "not" reset the counter
flashed twrp via odin then flashed flash_counter_reset.zip
went back into dl mode still yellow triangle on the first screen(warning screen)
, second screen(when hitting volume up) the odin counter now states "NO"
so does any1 for a fact has no yellow triangle when entering dl on the warning screen.
i would like to post this info on my sticky
edit: i always thought the yellow triangle was a warning b4 getting into dl mode of flashing a custom rom not that you did flash a custom rom, would the warning yellow triangle turn to a red stop sign if the counter was tripped, lol
edit: i found the original thread where the reset file was posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575712

ya i think your right about the triangle. i think it is there on there first screen as a warning.
So I'm rooting my friends infuse for him. basically flashed in odin but after that went through i was stuck at the samsung boot logo for 45 minutes. I did a battery pull and tried again with same result. So i tried getting back into download mode because it would not let me get into the stock recovery at all and it let me. Tried to reflash using odin and in the middle in the middle of it, it stopped and came onto the yellow triangle screen as shown in the pic. now cant get into download or boot or anything. ive tried using odin even though its not in download mode to flash a stock kernel but it just keeps connecting and disconnecting because now the computer wont read the device. Is there anyone who has had this issue and can help or have i completely bricked his phone. And for the record he is no longer on AT&T he is using straight talk so he cant just go into the AT&T store anymore. Thanks for any help you can give me
Try to use qkster hemidall package

Dude calm down, it is not a big deal (at least I don't think so). Just go back to recovery (twrp or cwm). Re-flash the ROM you used or if you have a backup then restore from there

you didn't unlocked the bootloader. FYI triangle away requires an unlocked bootloader as the flash counter is part of the bootloader so triangle away can't do anything to help you. Next time complete ALL steps in any root method and actually read more about an app before assuming it will help you. Lastly I recommend using the latest version of Odin.

I figured out the hard way the bootloader wasn't unlocked lol and im not an expert on rooting obviously but im not a noob as well this isn't my first time rooting lol so I do understand triangle away wasn't going to work. my question is how do I fix this issue? the only thing that happens when I power on is I get the yellow triangle and that's it. I can go into recovery mode but that's it. is it as simple as downloading an .exe file or what? and thank you for the response:good:

unfortunately you will have to do the root process all over again.

You need to boot to download mode. Hold the volume down, menu, and power key (with the phone off). After the first icon comes on release the power key (I can't remember, but I think that's right). Then Odin back to stock, root, unlock the bootloader, etc...
