I ended up plugging into my computer and flashing siyah again with odin.

I was running a stock rooted rom (also tried with miui, that's why I flashed siyah the second time).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Still wondering which Odin did you use?

Trying to track down the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
I updated to the latest version from the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
So 2 people with the Pro version had problems, let me specify that in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Overgloc:
Soft bricked my phone. Had to odin back to stock, installed like OP with Odin lite and the odin flasher installed. Oh well back to MIUI now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
I used mobile Odin pro with no problems encountered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
You could have tried reinstalling your prior kernel. Going back to stock wasn't necessary for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
:(

Well glad it worked with Pro after all, then I am not exactly sure what the few people are having problems with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cfaberlle:
Fast, easy, and works!

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Yay! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
Just tried it, took less than 5 minutes and no more triangle! A MILLION THANKS!!!!

i just rebooted a couple times just to make sure ;)

Couldn't have been any easier or explained any better!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AllFlasher:
I beleive the problem people are having is flashing a kernel that is not for there rom. I do not beleive the stock kernel is compatible with miui thats why it locks up.

Edit: tested theory soft brick flashing over miui. will have to go to computer to odin in the siyah .tar.. I had no issues flashing over unnamed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Alright thanks for testing this out. :)

So once you went to UnNamed it removed the triangle by using this method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AllFlasher:
yes

yes it does remove the triangle. now boot up says sgs II instead of 9100 with triangle
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
No kidding, we know that's a problem. It did it for me on a stock rom as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AllFlasher:
Thanks just trying to help. I realized by reading ur post that u knew that but some others didnt seem like they did just trying to help them out. People like u are y I only have 9 posts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
All I'm saying is that it was unnecessary risk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Glad you got it working! :)

Odd, others were stock rooted and it worked, I put a warning for MIUI users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
No, let's not go down the wrong path. Skatin is a good guy, I am sure he did not mean this in a bad way. And your thoughts and efforts are really appreciated!

The question I am having is whether once you went to Unknown, did LiL's trick, and removed the yellow triangle, did you go back to flash MIUI and see if the triangle was back?

Furthermore, has anybody on CM7 gotten this trick to work? Thanks guys! I think it is really cool that there a so many people that try to help and go through efforts. Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
As far as my understanding goes, I would think this methods works with stock based roms. That being said, as long as they don't have to use Odin from a computer to flash a kernel, the triangle shouldn't return. Using cwm or mobile Odin shouldn't activate the yellow triangle so going to cm7 or miui after doing this on a stock based rom should be fine. Sorry if this is a ramble, only slept three hours last night lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AllFlasher:
I hope i word this correctly. i was running unnamed rom had the triangle I used mobile odin pro to flash the stock kernel and when it rebooted there was no triangle and no longer said i9100 it said galaxy s II. I then used odin on my computer to flash a new binary so that the exclamation point triangle would come back. I then restorerd my nandroid backup of a previous miui siyah combo. When i ran mobile odin again on reboot the exclamation point was again gone however was of course stuck in a boot loop because I did not have the correct kernel for miui. I dont cm7 will work either because it cannot use the stock kernel either I beleive so if u flash this u will be stuck in boot loop. If u have a nandroid backup of a different rom u can run this should remove the exclamation point then restore ur cm7. Seems in theory that should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HaruSoul:
So how would you update Unnamed without CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Update? Hasn't been one since last year. :rolleyes:

Flash a new kernel with Mobile Odin after you restart the phone.

In theory that should work, though the PC way I think is easier if you have to go through that unless you want to avoid using a computer all together.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AllFlasher:
?

If this question is for me not sure that i understand it? i didnt update unnamed i was already using it. if u asking on how to update after u get rid of the exclamation point u would use mobile odin pro to flash cwm kernel like entrophys

^^^he beat me to it disregard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
LiLChris, I think it would be very useful to have detailed and tested instructions for people on other roms like MIUI or CM7 on how to get this to work. E.g. flash stock first, bla bla, then do NANDROID to get back to your original settings. If you sort it out, I am happy to test. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
I can and don't mind, its not hard to write it up but I feel like its so much work if your on MIUI/CM7 that you can just go with this route.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18608050&postcount=6 ;)

But here ya go if you don't mind testing it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HaruSoul:
Yea sorry, I'm new to this stuff this was my first non-iphone. I got it the day it came out and have been flashing Unnamed and Entropy since they both came out. I check for updates on a daily basis. However up until now the way I installed the updates for both was the exact same way. Boot into CWM and install the zips. With this I understand that say a new Entropy comes out I will just simply flash the new Kernel in the app. But let's say Unnamed 3.0 was to come out. How would I install that without the CWM app? Sorry for being a noob, only 1 way to learn :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AllFlasher:
Entrophys kernel has the CWM included so once u flash it the kernel u will have CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Posted the short version of MIUI/CM7 guide since I am at work, I can test it when I get home if anything but if anyone is bored and willing go for it. :D

In theory it should work...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HaruSoul:
Ok, thanks for that. Hopefully my last question now... The majority of Entropys releases are .zip and I understand that this uses .tar do I just rename the zip to tar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
No grab the zImage from the zip and create a TAR.

If you don't know how there is a few methods just search on the forums or google. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Actually mobile Odin can flash the zImage to my surprise that's how I got his kernel back just extract the it from the zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Oh even better!

I wish I can hit Thanks from this app. Ill do it when I'm back from lunch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HaruSoul:
Worked perfectly, thanks for all the help gave thanks where deserved!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Down with triangles! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monkey28rb:
Awesome thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
I had no idea it would so that was a pleasant surprise :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
LiLChris - tested and confirmed. Coming from CM7/Siyah - simply flashed UnNamed, used mobile Odin pro to flash stock etc. as you outlined in your OP. Then flashed Siyah, restored my nandroid - bingo, back to CM7/Siyah without the yellow triangle. Thanks man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Awesome thanks for testing!!!

I changed the OP and organized it a bit.

...Nvm have to change it cause you can't see links on XDA app when quoted though it looks nicer on PC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
Anytime! Thanks for doing this! Really easy way to get rid of this nuisance. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
No problem, I just wish there was an easier way for MIUI/CM7 users with this method. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] oktavianno:
how the triangle disapear ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
No worries here. It is as simple as a quick 2.3.6 based ROM flash and then the few steps you outlined and a nandroid restore. Pretty simple to me and much less involved than the other ways I have seen (at least for me). I don't know if it's possible to set this up as a script or something. But I would not worry too much with ICS builds hopefully coming out soon and GSIII looming. cheers.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Follow the OP and you shall find out. :) Just be sure to know whether you are on a 2.3.6 based ROM or not because that makes a huge difference in how you go about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
It worked for me with unnamed 1.3.2 which is 2.3.4 based. Just figured I would let the thread know it doesn't have to be 2.3.6. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
Fair enough! thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
When flashing a stock kernel it resets the triangle, and using Mobile Odin it flashes internally so it doesn't trigger the counter.

Good to know! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylerdurdin:
What I find the most interesting about this thread is how many people actually tripped the binary...??????....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
If I remember correctly before there wasn't methods to avoid tripping it like Mobile Odin and we had to resort to a USB Jib. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylerdurdin:
I really don't want to **** up your thread but in the stickies a point Creepy makes is the best way to not increment the flash counter is to never trip it......I read them all fully.... and never have tripped it.

On a serious note though....you did a cool thing bringing this to light to help noobs that will not read the stickies.....Seriously dude....good job, you probably stopped the opening of about 10,000 needless threads. You are the proof that if you read and try stuff for yourself, you can help a lot of people. I hope everyone is spanking your thanks accordingly.;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
On release of the phone not sure if that was a method, I don't remember seeing it or probably missed it like many others. :o

I could be completely wrong and it was there from the start. >.<
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylerdurdin:
You could be completely right...I didn't even think about messing with this phone for the first month I owned it....maybe I got lucky......although creepys guide is from October which there was already a fair bit of info then.....you still may be right.....having said that, there is no excuse for any new guys who just got this phone in the past month or two.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
I got this phone and flashed a custom kernel with Odin before the thread existed. I honestly don't care much about resetting the flash counter but after months of seeing that triangle it started to irritate me. That and the fact they didn't even bother making that splash screen specific to our model. I have read through the other thread and I guess it didn't sink in for me how easy using mobile Odin was to get rid of that stupid yellow interloper until this thread came along. Just my two cents :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
I completely agree with you. Same here.

Also, to answer to Tyler, I find many of these threads and instructions confusing to say the least. One thread leads to another and another and yet another. And often there is cross-referencing from I9100 to I777. For someone who is relatively new to this it is not an easy thing to do no matter how much you read. The experience comes over time, doing it, and learning. Kudos to LiLChris for addressing an issue that bothered a number of people and keeping it simple and functional. cheers.

Awesome! Painless and easy! Thanks man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Man_Cave_Tech:
This worked perfectly, and without the need of a computer. Couldn't stand seeing that triangle on my phone. Big thanks for sharing this!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Man_Cave_Tech:
I read all replies before posting this, so if this has already been covered, and I missed it, please accept my apologies.

For those using Siyah Kernel with this method, please note that CWM recovery will be replaced by Siyah's recovery. As a result, any back ups that were originally created with CWM may not work using Siyah's recovery. (at least for me, they didnt). The restore process will complete, but your phone will get stuck on the boot screen.

IF this happens, I have a workaround...

The way I was able to remedy this, was to perform a full wipe, then perform a fresh install of your ROM, reboot, install CWM through ROM manager. Once that is complete, go back into CWM recovery and restore your original backup. Once that is finished, reboot your device and perforn the "remove triangle" fix, then reboot into Siyah's recovery and create a new back up. It's a bit of a process, but worth it if you prefer Siyah Kernel over Entropy Kernel.

Hope this helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Words can't describe on how badly you didn't follow the simple instructions. :(

When you follow this you are left with 3e recovery which is the stock recovery of the phone.

My method doesn't install a new kernel or CWM without you

choosing

one yourself by grabbing the zImage or tar file.

Siyah's and Entropy's CWM are backwards compatible for flashing anything so that shouldn't have effected your old backups either. Redpill recovery (CWM Based) is just organized and theme differently nothing else has changed.

I am very happy that you got your device working properly, please read some stickies and ask questions if you get stuck so we can help. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Man_Cave_Tech:
I've been flashing/modding phones since 2004 my friend. I followed the instructions. Flashing Siyah Kernel also installs Siyah recovery by default. If you read my post, you will see that I stated the restore file on my phone wasn't working for me, and that if anybody else runs into this issue, I provided instructions on how to fix it, for people less experienced with flashing. The issue I was having was a fluke with my restore file, and not a fault of your method, or of my doing. I rarely encounter a problem, but in the rare ocurrance that I do, I'm well experienced enough to find a work around, but your concern is appreciated. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
All: lets calm down and not be over-sensitive. Please.

LiLChris method works - however, if a user has a problem then it is fair to report that and let's all try to figure out what happened and to get the user out of the bind. Sometimes things just go wrong, sometimes we may have missed something. Isn't the important thing to iron out the issues and have a great solution to the undesirable yellow triangle issue? In this spirit, everybody keep reporting, and LiLChris, we appreciate your efforts with this! I think many users have given you a big thanks, as have I! cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Well if something was wrong with the kernel and your roms I really suggest you go to the i9100 forums and post in his thread about the problem.

Others that were experiencing problems came from a 2.3.7 based rom which we figured out a way around it.

Also good luck with your TV, I would say it imploded and ask for a new one. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Man_Cave_Tech:
I apologize if my post made your method look faulty. That was certainly not my intention. The kernel and everything worked flawlessly. I just thought posting a workaround for a potential issue would have been helpful. I can remove that post if you'd like.

And yeah, my TV is fubar. Good thing though is at least I still have a decent viewing area to watch. I'm just glad the entire screen wasn't destroyed. Now I have to find a creative way of telling my wife I'm buying another one. If you never hear from me again, it's because she killed me for buying another one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Nah leave it doesn't matter. :p

I am more worried about your wife killing you than my thread. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
Good luck buddy! Tell her that with the new TV it's much more fun to watch E! and the shopping channel. By now way would the new TV be used to enhance your sports viewing experience. :)

cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Have you seen his broken TV thread? Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Man_Cave_Tech:
Lilchris and I have maintained a friendly interactiin with each other. Not sure what you mean by calming down and being over sensitive. LOL...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Man_Cave_Tech:
LOL, thanks for your concern. I'm a bit nervous myself. Maybe I should butter her up before breaking the news. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Man_Cave_Tech:
That's a great idea. I just may try that. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Hmm I was wondering for MIUI/CM7 couldn't boot back into the rom could you at least get into recovery?

I am very interested in knowing the outcome if you don't reply I will safely assume you are lying in a ditch somewhere with your broken TV. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
Just wanted to say thanks and that it worked perfectly with Siyah kernel and ICScrewed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
My ultimate thanks to you, LilChris! This is the most useful post i've seen in the entire history of useful posts! Seeing as how i'm a touch on the lazy side, this was as quick and painless as it gets! Could you perhaps write up some mobile Odin instructions for P90X? ;-) Thanks again brother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erad1:
Too easy!...thanks for the post. Flashed the triangle and I9100 boot logo bye-bye while running a 'Hellraised ROM' with no problems at all...Thank you LilChris06...had to give thanks to CF (man, this guy has created some cool apps!) and creepyncrawly too.
