Can anyone confirm TriangleAway can be used on the leaked ICS for the Galaxy note?
Chanfire said some user reported it did in his Galaxy S2 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114, but I want to double check before using it.
Worked fine for me using PC odin.

Forget about Odin. Just install the app normally and it should work. It did for me and countless others: I've yet to hear someone reporting a problem with the process.
Yup triangle away works perfectly. Go ahead use it

If m not wrong the triangle that you get when you press volume down + home button + power button then it is a warning sign that you gonna make changes which are not supposed to be made as per the manufacturer. There shouldn't be a triangle in the bottom when you reboot you Note and where it says before loading the boot animation Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000. If its there then it gets fixed by Triangle Away.
CHeers!

Yeap, that triangle is just a warning to be careful with download mode.
Anyway, I can now confirm the app indeed works with the Note. I just used it, no more triangle and cero counts in download mode.
Thank you everybody. Specially Chainfire!

i never had triangle on boot screen.. my counter was 1 but when i used this apk counter set to 0 & triangle appears on Download mode
I will suggest you read what is written in above posts carefully. And if u are still apprehensive then go ahead find a stock non rooted note and go to download mode in tht and see if the triangle is there or not.
Thanks

Triangle only in download mode or on every booting?
b'coz download triangle is normal.
For clarity:
A brand new stock out of the box note will show a yellow triangle in download mode. This is perfectly normal, and is not a problem.
Triangleaway and other methods are intended to remove the yellow triangle that CAN appear on your regular boot screen - NOT the download mode screen.

Thanks for the help....hope he understands....i have been trying to tell him the same thing from that time
I have a problem. Everytime I try to run the application, it force closes when I'm about to clear my binary count. I tried it on an older version, 1.10, which worked before but now that also FCs. I'm on AOSP based on Milestone by eaglerazor123.
Anybody have an idea how to go about the problem? my binary count is an 2.
And also, everytime I try to flash a new ROM, it either hangs up during the installation or I get a black screen after the Samsung logo ( with the yellow triangle). Is that in anyway related?
Thank you. Hope someone can help me.

Sounds to me that you don't have proper root. Why don't you use any Explorer with root permissions and try to paste and/or delete something from your system folder? Tell us what happens.

Current ICS CWMR is not working as it should, that's a known issue. If you want to go back to GB, for instance, first you have to flash a GB kernel to get its CWMR, reboot recovery, then do your stuff (wipes, flashing a new Rom, restore etc.)

So CWMR indeed has an issue? Good to know! I flashed Imilka's aosp then wanted to come back to ics leak and got the same error in recovery. I thought I was loser for not doing it right haha.
I'll look for a thread to flash another recovery so I can flash some roms

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?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
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
1. Flash Stock ROM with PC odin
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.

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 u flash the roms? If you flash Custom roms/custom kernels using PC Odin, it will increase the counter..
I flashed using cwm 6 mate . Through sd card.
I meant through download mode.

Flashing custom cm roms or aokp through cwm won't necessarily raise the counter. I've only had 2 raised counters and that was when flashing with pc Odin. It seems mobile odin or cwm are a bit more reliable on that front. And I think it's more the kernel that raises flash counter.

I have used only official rom to flah with pc odin and all the custom Roms were flashed using cwm/download mode through sd card.. And it's didn't show any yellow triangle on my screen though.

You will get that yellow triangle or raised flash counter only when you flash anything other than the stock ones using pc odin

no worries about there. I myself flashed ROMs quite a few times already and my counter is still 0.. I know of others whose counter is still 0 even though they've flashed more than thrice compared to mine. But hey, I'm not complaining. It is good that my counter is still at 0.. Many use triangle away to reset theirs to 0 but mine has always been 0 so all is good
Well Jay we are lucky lol
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.?
