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.
Cheers !

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.

Thank you for the feedback.

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?

How can i go to download mode if i press on power and volume - its turn to recovery mode how can i go to download mode now

I find how to go to download mode
i open the odin and put the file on PDA and i saw its became yellow and added fine and then i hit start
its not sucess i got faild
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

[Q] Bricked motorola xt910? Need help please!!!

Hi there, thanks in advance for your kind support on the overall aspects of android development.
here is what i have done.
i wanted to update my motorola xt910 with 4.0.4 ics to CM10 (CYANOGENMOD)10
So i get the cm10 rom and google apps on my sd card
And installed the clockworkmod recovery 5.8.4.5 black edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751826
then i made the procedures after install the apk
after that i reboot in cwm and make a backup of the existing rom
and reboot the phone.
then i dowload the rom manager from the app store, install it and select the right recovery 3.+++ for the razr reboot the phone .
then i went on rom manager and enter in clockword mod and install the rom cm 10 (after i installed it i remember i should wipe data and cache) so i after installed cm10, i wiped data and cache, and right after i installed again the cm10 rom and google aps, without even reboot or leave rom manager app, after that i rebooted the phone and the only thing it shows me its the M logo on start.
I cant go to fastboot either, doesnt recognise the rsd lite.
And it only "boots" if its called that way if i hit power + vol up + vol down. but then it only appears the M logo for a few seconds and then the cell it turns off (i guess). it was with a fully 100% battery when i did the procedure.
Any way to solve this?
it detects when i conect it to the pc, but it doesnt show anything, only the sound that some usb thing is conected and then disconected, no card showing nothing, just the sound.
ANY HELP WILL BE GLADLY WELCOME!!!
THANKS

I have successfully manage to UNBRICK IT.
here is the procedure i have done:
1-plug it in motorola cable and put the rsdlite on
2-plug the usb on the computer (you will hear the sound of some usb beeing conected but nothing else)
3- hit the power buton + vol up + vol down several times until it appears fast boot
ex: you click it now see the M logo, and then you hit it again on power + vol up + vol down, all of this with the cable conected to the pc and the rsd lite on.
4-after it entered on fastboot mode, you will see a black screen with some white writing on it
5-get a fastboot xml of your rom (in my case brasilian one) and flash it true the rsd, wait wait wait until the process finishes and dont disconect or touch anything. In my case it took about 15 minutes with several stops and bootloops on the same procedure, but i successfully manage to bring it to life.
Note this method will only work if you have enough battery on your phone, if not try to buy a factory cable to charge the battery via USB port and then try it on.
Remember to charge 5% you will nedd to get it on the usb about 15 minuts or so, if you plan to do this procedure i will hardly advice you to leave it about 5hours to fully charge your battery and you get the job done without any other issues.
Thanks to all and i hope this thread will be helpfull to others too.

Since ur touch doesn't work anymore, switch it off by removing battery. Now,
*Requirements:- Samsung Drivers, Odin.exe, BENI_v1.0.ops, firmware package.
1. Re-insert the battery & go for download mode by pressing & keep holding Volume Down+Home+Power buttons together. Yellow triangle appears with downloading written below it.
2. Install Samsung mobile drivers in pc.
3. Connect ur phone in download mode to pc via USB cable. Let the pc ensures ur phone to be "ready to use". Then open Odin.exe & see the COM PORT mapping box will turn yellow(indicating that ur phone is connected successfully)
4. Place BENI_v1.0.ops under OPS field & the .tar.md5 file under One Package. Click start, wait for ~10mins till done.
5. Now again remove & re-insert battery. Press & hold Home+Power buttons to enter stock recovery. Wipe data & cache there & reboot.
Problem solved...

[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

How will i do that? Thanks?
I already have an Odin v1.85 but I dont really know how to do it?
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.
