I guess the title is a little misleading... because I've already figured it out. No jig needed.

Well lets get to it.

Contains this kernel:

http://www.forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php/3167-KERNEL-ODIN-Stock-Pulled-Repacked-with-CWM5

First, flash a custom kernel so you can root your phone. Doesn't matter, just get it rooted, how ever you wish.

Then, flash the "Pulled" stock kernel provided by Bubby323

Thanks JBN:

http://min.us/l3W76zVg6eNNi

After that, this is where I come in...

Go to

http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/

and download FlashzImage.zip

unzip it to your PC, it requires that you have drivers installed to ADB into your phone.

ADB binary is in the zip, so you don't need that, just debugging mode turned on.

Run Install.bat

Make sure your screen is on, so you can accept the SU prompt. your phone will reboot at some point, and it will have my newest test kernel and no yellow triangle...

Thanks to QbKing77 for the How To Video:

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySskTt-S-cM[/media]

From there, you can install any kernel you want from CWM using zips, and not increase your odin mode binary counter.

Also if your prefer, you can replace the zImage in the original zip with any kernel to flash...

This could be adapted to mac or linux pretty easy im sure, but I'm not gonna do it, thats why I labeled this a proof of concept. all the bat file does is push the files. you can manually push them and chmod and run the script and get the same effects..

anyways, heres my small contribution for the day...

Thanks to Orionstein and Rjmjr69 for help testing...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
Does it reset the binary counter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
$2 jig does both

Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
no, just removes the custom binary flag.... which removes the triangle..

sorry but im not gonna try to decompile the boot loader and what not... especially since i dont have the phone..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
Much appreciated and good work! I was just asking cuz I know its going to be asked lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
yes youre correct it does...

but why should you have to buy a jig? why should you have to odin kernels at all?? it should be used as a safeguard...

this method is to get cwm on your phone, and this method only needs to be used once, then you can use CWM to flash everythign from then on out...

or you can buy a 2 dollar jig, use odin every time, use your jig everytime...

doesnt matter to me, like i said, this is my small contribution for the day...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
You, sir, are a man among men... Thank you for your Kernel and for this fix (that yellow triangle just BUGS - like an itch you can't scratch).

That crappy yellow triangle is GONE, thanks Chris!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
chris is it normal to still be on your LoS beta kernel after running this? triangle is gone but phone info. says im still on your beta kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
That's what he included in it from my understanding.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
yes, the LoStKernel is whats in the zip

Would bmlwrite not achieve the same result as DDing to the partition?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I don't think so, since it doesn't have a bml layer, though I could be wrong..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
Work is much appreciated but I only used it once and any subsequent flashes showed no triangle or binary counter

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
Nice...can't wait to get to work to try this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
After doing this, if I want to flash another kernel that was packaged for odin, do I just get a cwm packaged kernel and replace the zimage with the one found in the tar?

Edit: I was an impatient prick and did just what I asked and it worked out fine. Thank you for doing this. My theory is that the way were putting CWM on our phones via Odin was the reason that some of us got more frequent LOS after flashing. Only time will tell. I know that when I am on stock pulled kernel, I go days without LOS. As soon as I flash CWM via Odin or flash an Odin custom kernel, I am back to LOS within hours or even minutes in between instances. I have a feeling that this will make things better for custom kernels. Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Try rebooting both phone and computer or even try another cable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Its not something that can be baked into a rom really..

I take that back, I have a few ideas...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Will try first thing tomorrow :)

Btw, unzip on computer, place on phone SD and install.bat?

Then reboot, flash rom?

had a bootloop but a factory reset from stock recovery got me back and with SuperUser as well :O, now that im trying to run the FlashzImage, i can't through at all, it keeps giving me device not found :/, eventhough i also have USB Debbuging on too.

Gag! wtf i had to install kies >.>, funny how i was doing all this and still worked while using my old Epic4G drivers lol, until now..

Damn it, now i get a MD5 Missmatch. Any way to get this running?

So its it ok to follow through, then Flash back my nandroid back up?

I did make a nandroid backup on my external just in case.. but damn!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Use auto - root method and you can flash stock EG31 kernel and cwm without getting yellow triangle. From there flash away
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
i did this and it worked perfect except for one thing! my phone is suck in airplane mode and wont come out of it.

Flash stock tar then auto root to get stock EG31 kernel and cwm

Can't download the file (Pulled" stock kernel provided by Bubby323), can anyone provide mirror?

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Option "C" of auto root does the same thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I wouldnt use that kernel anymore anyway, now that EG30-Rev5(EG31) stock kernel is out..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
I spent $1.93 on Ebay for a USB jig and it cleared the flash count and the yellow triangle. It was well worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
@Chris - Just thought you might know, in the thread about getting the "fix" pushed.....well the "fix" is being pushed to the user's phone right now. Anyone know how to help him pull it out so the Dev's can tear it appart and see if it solves LOS?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pcmedics911:
Chris

I just installed the the new lost Kernal EG31 for the LOS.

What should I use to get the Yellow Triangle Off? I tried the Flashimage but that did not work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
I understand this is a proof of concept thread, But the day I received my phoneI rooted and flashed and after seeing the triangl I just shoved my jig that I have had for almost a year for my vibrant, and whala no more triangle and flash count gone. On ebay right now ya can get 2 jigs for 4.00$. I just regret not posting my findings sooner for the community, I just never saw how many plp really wanted that triangle gone.

So save the headaches and bootloop issues and get a jig, too easy.

Also I posted this for all noobs,not to knock your outstanding work for the community Chris. I know my profile may mislead you but I have been flashing from the G1 days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
I have a jig already. There's a thread about it in the general section somewhere
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It is good to have a jig anyway.

At the time this post was written people were already aware a jig got rid of the yellow triangle and flash count.

You can root without triggering the yellow triangle and without increasing ODIN flash count using the auto root sticky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the hardware method has been known for quite some time, but I HAD to find a way to do it via software.. it was something i knew could be done, and I don't like NOT KNOWING
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
+1 to that, I hope I didn't offend. I just kept reading peoples posts asking the same questions. I like digging also. And I can attest this works like a charm.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jay8212:
Followed instructions but not sure where I messed up

So I had rooted my phone earlier using Zedomax. I am currently running the Calks rom I believe it is the latest version but will have to look to be 100% sure. I was able to use odin to flash the pulled kernal and then when I ran the Install.bat file from the unzipped FlashzImage folder. My phone said root access was granted and the batch file did its thing.

When my phone restarted I still saw the yellow triangle. Did I miss something when flashing the kernal? Did I not follow instructions (might be it but hope not cuz thats just noobish)? Any help would be cool.

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Link to bubbys pulled kernel is bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
you can use any of the stock signed kernels, eg30, eg31, ek02, el13 or el26..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MikeC84:
why not link people to the new root that doesn't trigger the yellow triangle?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
because that's not what this thread is about?

not only that, the auto-root doesnt work on el13 or el26..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
To clarify, the Auto Root package combined with the pre-rooted ODIN One-Click (in the post) will install Chris41g's CWM (thanks again) with NO yellow triangle on EL13 and EL26. The pre-rooted ODIN One-Click will also get rid of the yellow triangle if you currently have it.

The pre-rooted ODIN One-Click just takes care of Option A (root) for you, since the zerglings need to regroup for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
just followed this http://youtu.be/ySskTt-S-cM

didn't work.

at what point does the yellow triangle disappear? when you odin or when you run the bat?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
When you odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
So what went wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
you must have odined the wrong kernel.. any factory signed kernel will get rid of the triangle..

I rooted my phone and have Calkulin's ROM install. I want to get rid of the yellow triangle. my question is, do I need to flash the stock kernel by buddy323 and run the install.bat in this tread? I'm quite happy with the kernal install wit the Calkulin Rom and don't want to mess it up.

so do I flash buddy232 kernal then run install.bat then reflash calkulin ROM to achieve getting rid of the yellow triangle without changing the default calkulin Rom ?

You can flash any stock kernel to get rid the triangle then run install using whatever zimage comes with the from...

Is it possible to get rid of the yellow triangle running MIUI or CM7?

its no different.. if you flashed either rom via CWM you wouldnt have the triangle to begin with.. just get rid of the triangle before flashing said rom..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tps70:
Thanks given! :cool:

This thread & QBKing77's tutorial video worked perfectly for me. No more triangle. Replaced your zImage with the one from Rogue EL29 Repack (as shown in the video) & everything went smooth as silk.

Question.

Can I back up my current Blazer 3.9 ROM remove triangle as shown in video and then restore my Blazer ROM back up so I don't have to redo EVERYTHING?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] st1ngr4y:
27 cents with free shipping (direct from china!!!) and I reset my counter and can activate download mode... thanks Epay

If there's a way to reset the counter great otherwise I think the triangle is a negligible trade-off
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demonlordoftheround:
This method doesn't touch your data, so there should be no need to restore a backup or redo your setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 3volution:
Thanks for this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Just tried this on my phone after getting the Triangle after messing with the 4.x builds does not work anymore (at least for me and I follwed things down to the letter.) Also so it's known I didn't odin the install but I did use Odin for the cwm Install to go back to a EL29 base rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Envynet:
same thing here I installed one of the 4.0 builds and odin the repacked 15 kernel now I also have the yellow triangle, tried the fix in the OP and a no go didnt work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
You need to first flash (odin or CWM) a COMPLETELY stock kernel (to get rid of the yellow triangle) then use this method with a zIMAGE (kernel) of your choice to get your custom kernel without having a yellow triangle at the splash boot screen.

I've used this method on both CM9 and each of the ICS leaks and I can confirm it is STILL working - if used properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Try using one of the ODIN One-Clicks in my signature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] los82:
After the zimage mod can I install any kernal via Odin or just cwm

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FlowingAway:
Ok...so I'm able to get rid of the yellow triangle like I've done 100 times before, but now on the boot screen it includes "SPH-D710" just below the samsung galaxy s II logo. Could that have something to do with the FB17 I had on there a few days ago? Right now I'm running Calk's 2.9. I know for sure it didn't use to have that on there.

Edited for 2nd thought: I would probably have to flash a TAR of the original stock EL29 to get it back to normal, wouldn't you think?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FlowingAway:
Yep. Flashing the stock EL29 tar removed the model number on the boot screen. Back up and running. Thanks for letting me solve my own problem in your thread lol. You guys keep up the good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] XBMC4LIFE:
Idk if this will help anyone but there is an apk called triangle away. I have used it every time I have gotten a triangle and poof its gone when you click remove. Super easy takes like 5 seconds just install and press remove.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
so i was able to remove the yellow triangle, but it doesn't reset the count. is there a way to do that without booting into android? my predicament is that my /data partition is jacked, so i can't flash anything, and i would like to reset the counter manually if possible so that i dont have wait a few days for a jig to come in the mail and so that i dont have to make one. my only means of modifying the phone is via adb in rogue recovery 1.2.2 (only recovery that will flash on my phone) and odin.

So if the app removes the triangle can i use it after i unroot, or will i need super user permission still? if so, if i use triangle away while im rooted,

will the triangle remain "away" when i do unroot from a rooted rom?

I only ask cuz i need to make an insurance claim on my phone. Thanks :)
