Guys this is my fourth post in XDA.Though i am a silent spectator of XDA. i have been following the Galaxy Note thread to learn about some ROM tweaks... I got a small problem now..
I was very interested in changing my Fonts and Battery icon. Which i realized is possible only when i root my Galaxy Note. So i did root my Note as said in the below link. I followed the first method (CWM + super user)
androidnz.net/2011/11/at-your-own-risk-how-to-root-your
Then i changed my Fonts and Battery ICON using UOT KITCHEN.
Now the problem is when i goto download mode (Down volume key+home key+power key).. I can see a Yellow triangle..from the XDA thread i learned that yellow triangle means the kernel is not authorised by Samsung. My Binary count seems to be 0.
My question is what will be the consequence of this Yellow triangle.. e.g. will i not get any software (e.g.ICS) update from Samsung. If the answer is No.. can i just ignore the yellow triangle and live my normal life with my Note.
Also is there a way to root the Note without screwing the kernel. i.e. my phone will be rooted without a yellow triangle. If yes please guide me to that thread..

And that yellow triangle voids ur warranty..by dat the samsung people gets to know dat u have rooted your device..
If you getting yellow triangle only during download mode, is normal
Are you getting it with every boot?
thanks for your reply..
1. Is there any other way to root the mobile without brigning yellow triangle..
2. Is it possible to flash my mobile with stock ROM so that my mobile becomes clean without yellow triangle. So that I can try the solution given in question no.1.
Sorry Doc i missed to answer your question.. i am getting the triangle only in download mode..
can some one guide me to stock kl3 kernel.. were can i get it
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
Hi all i have really messed up my note... i been trying to flash it and i bricked it now the phone will only get into download mode... Also i have 1 count on the custom rom... My question is i have booked the phone in with Samsung to get it fixed but when Samsung put the phone into download mode they will see the 1 count does that void my warranty ??? Will samsung fix it for me ???
You have voided your warranty
You need a USB jig to clear the counter

There are two ways to remove the yellow triangle/binary count without a jig...I have a kernel, and I there is Triangle Away...
And if you can get into download mode, your phone is not bricked...just soft bricked. Flash a stock firmware...

Easiest way is
If you are able to get into download mode

2. get root N install ICS base custom ROM
3.Use triangle away to reset counter
4 Back to Stock ROM

Wasn't there a kernel version which zeroes the binary counter from angelom (following the bricking fiasco)? Someone might still have it

Where can I get the kernel you mentioned that could reset the binary count without using a USB JIG? Appreciate if you can point me the download site. I'm using an Asian unit GN7000.
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hi dude here is the message angelom sent to me its got the link to the Kernel Enjoy
So here is the link kernel that reset counter and remove yellow triangle:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5bmrc6cf81w5mya
Of course this is what I tried last night and it was fine (flashed over 10 times)
instructions:
It 'a tar file, then flashed it with Odin Pc
You need to have ICS, so if you tried to install GB with odin, you have to flash the Chinese leak ICS (always with odin)
Even if you flash the rom from error, after trying to install, always installs with odin the kernel, it usually also with your problem is successful.
Just you see that phone reboot (just odin gives you the message that the flash of the kernel has been successful) disconnect the usb cable and press once the keys to enter the recovery mode (Vol + + home + power) and keep them pressed until do not see the recovery.
You'll still have the yellow triangle.
When did you get into recovery (still touch CWM) touch on reboot
So, even if eventually the Rom should not start it for the problem of partitions, you'll see that the triangle is gone and the counter is reset.
Of course you do so at your own risk, given my experience after what has happened, I emphasize.

how did they find out, didn't you zero the flash counter and remove the triangle ?
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
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.?
