Hi all,

when i was running stock LQ3, the App worked well.

Now i'm running AOKP build 38 rom on my N7000, but Triangle Away see my Note as a GT-i9100. (because of AOKP kernel source.. i think...)

can i use the App anymore whithout bricking it ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
It depends, does it say it needs to reboot, or does it show you the flash counter status directly ?

If it needs to reboot it will use a special kernel crafted for the I9100, which will *not* work on the N7000, but if the app already shows you the counter status, resetting should be safe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jahfil:
Worked fine on my SGS2 which is running I9100XWLPE from Free (4.0.3) and CF-Root 5.5

Thanks for your hard work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LOulOo:
The app shows me the counter directly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lewrydiboys:
When I hit "current status" nothing happens. Why?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cdmackay:
Because it's a section heading, not a link. Under "Current status" it tells you how things are at the moment.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LOulOo:
Ok thanks Chainfire, so it should work...

i will try next time i will have to flash something with Odin PC ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Works like a charm, no triangle and counter says NO

you're the man! THANKS :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
As soon as P5110 kernel devs enable eMMC boot partition support Triangle Away may work ... Samsung disables this in their new kernels.

Hi, i rooted my GSIII and i installed TriangleAway. The application doesn't show me the counter. I have to reboot the phone in a special bootmode. Why?

Video guide

Hey Chainfire,

Thought I'de mention, I made a video on getting back to STOCK and not having a VOID warranty on the SGS3:

[YOUTUBE]_8Tga_yKywc[/YOUTUBE]

Triangle away was of course in there, and you are mentioned and credited for it in my video and on my website

Keep it up broski! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fox05:
This can be done when CF-Root is on and there is no triangle?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, you can use TraingleAway app to reset the flash counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fox05:
Yes, I know that :D , but I wanted to know if I could still use it when I'm using CF-Root and the yellow triangle is not shown.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, that was my answer to your question.

I already understood what you were asking for.

Yes, you still can use TriangleAway app when running on CF-Root kernel and even if there is no yellow triangle.

But the only reason for doing it would be, that you want to reset the counter.

And that's what I wanted to point out in my answer.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aneeqkhan:
Yes u can even if triangle is not there if u r rooted then ur binary counter should not b zero. So using this app it will b set to zero.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fox05:
Ok thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jbakers:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] laneyofdeath:
Same as s3 if u click option below it boots into that mode (there doesn't seem to be a way out of it though as is says press vol.up to reset or vol.down to cancel. It then says DO NOT press down to cancel). Is there a way to exit this mode (and indeed download mode) without basically pulling the battery? Sorry I new to Samsung but can't find an answer.

Hello, i must be missing something... when i download the file i don't get an APK file but a zip file ??? I don't know what to do with this...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ctomgee:
Seriously? Unzip it.

EDIT: Did you download the file from post 1 of this thread? I just downloaded it and got an .apk file. Did you download it to your phone or to your computer? If to your computer, it's possible you may have set winzip or whatever zip utility to be used by default when looking at .apk extensions. Just push the file to your phone or download it directly on your phone, and see if you can install it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bubba949:
Rename it to .apk

i can`t explain this ... :rolleyes: change the laptop or the pc or download it from your phone ... i wish i know what the hack is this ...

Listen! I think you opened a wrong file, not the one downloaded ... ⇄
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
I am trying this on my S3.

When I start it , it says that it needs to download an add-on, I accept. (this occurs in every startup of the app even though it was downloaded before)

then it says on the app menu : "current status can not be determined"

I press "reset flash counter" anyway, after "cecking kernel" the app closes.

What am I doing wrong ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pedrohp:
@Chainfire First, THANK YOU for this app. I need some advice:

I'm confused. I installed and used Triangle Away. In Download mode, the device show no flashcount and Official status, but the "Device Status", (inside the Settings -> Device Information -> Status ->Device Status) is showing as "Modified".

All i did with this device was: User SGS3 Toolkit (from here) (That's when my FlashCount went to 1) to install CWM Touch (That's when my FlashCount went to 1) and then installed Root manually from there (as you described here).

Did i do something wrong? Or just having CWM and Root will cause the "Device Status" to show as "Modified"? How can i change that?

Do you have a rooted phone?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
yes; I've installed CF-root 6.3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Aung:
Thank you xanthrax for your idea to download from my phone. It can download .apk file from ph. Thank you again.

[The Google Play download is not free - it costs about a beer (thanks!). The download listed below is 100% the exact same program, but free. I provide it for free because I believe this app should be available even to people who cannot pay on Google Play. If you are able to purchase on Play, please consider that I have spent a great many hours on this, and the latest version also uses server resources I have to pay for.]

@ Chainfire, Thank you for your hard work. You are The Man who can see from both side. Someone said that " Thanks " are cannot eat. But when you drinking your beer, please feel our love (definitely me not alone). http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hi,

I am trying this on a stock kernel for Galaxy S3.

The kernel version is XALEB

What's wrong with my setup ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crazzyleo:
thanks it worked on my latest cm9
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ZaneZam:
From first post:

- On the SGS3, System->Settings->About device->Status still shows "Modified"

This is outside the scope of Triangle Away. The "system" status is not even always resettable in the bootloader. If you are going for warrenty, you need to also reflash a full stock firmware and wipe your device. If they boot up your device and find root apps, you're not going to get any warranty anyway. If you do such a full stock reflash and wipe, the "Modified" value will go away.

;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] prakashraobs:
Hi Now I have used Triangle reset and it worked fine for me, Counter is re-set and now I have only 1 problem, that is regaining the 8GB which got lost due to Bricking. I hope only Samsung can provide the solution, I will wait for it.

Thanks for the needed help and Info.

Message while running app

I bought a Galaxy Note on Ebay 2 days ago. Looks like the person who sold me has updated s/w from GB to ICS & then rooted and installed CWM.

I am running ICS 4.0.3 with

Baseband: N7000XXLPT

Kernel : 3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927

dpi@DELL169#3

SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 11:17:48 KST 2012

Build Number: IML74K.XXLQ2

CWM V3.15, Kernel CF-Root 5.6

SuperSU Ver0.89

Phone is working well except for the "Yellow triangle" that shows up at boot screen. I read through posts on two ways to remove it - using a Jig or by Chainfire's triangleaway app. Since I was not sure of the jig method, I decided on using chainfire's app and installed it.

When I ran it, it shows the following under Current Status - "Status cannot be determined. We need to boot into a special mode to determine"

Since I am not very sure on next steps, can someone please tell me what should be done? :confused:

Also, please let me know if there is an alternate easy way to remove triangle by flashing stock software (without boot loader) to get rid of the issue. I am even ready to use go back to GB if that will solve the issue. I have used ODIN on my Galaxy 3 for the last 1 year to flash different ROMs, so can manage ODIN.

Thanks for help

I have the same issue with my SGN7000 but somehow noone here has a solution. I am waitinmg for past 4 days for a response... Guess all the Geeks are on vacation :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Flash back stock kernel should remove the yellow triangle IMO.

No other advice, as I don' have a SGN.

Does anyone know if using triangle away will lock my phone? I recently had my phone unlocked from a local shop via usb and it increased my flash counter to 1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sarbe:
Triangle Away will not lock your phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Odia:
Hi CF,

Seem you not fully catch what I sent you, first important thing is you have zero missing in the offsets, I think is just typo, 2nd thing 0x00 UNKNOWN is a real status and name, it was not that I dont know :p, if your working with 0x... this mean hex so 0x2010 is wrong, would be 0x2000A and this string is zero padded so end is not floating is fixed at 0x2001A.

Check this screendump for clarity:-
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Good catch, that missing 0. Typed wrong once, copy/pasted. Corrected the faulty data! Must have not had my coffee yet when I modified it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fr3quency:
Wow, we have amazing developers on our S II. Amazing work!! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Odia:

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.

btw great apps

Thanks for the great work. God bless you!

when i dl this, instead of apk it dl'ed a zip file so i assume i'm supposed to flash it via recovery?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dave-blue:
Really thanx for this app,Chainfire... Works well on Andyx rom 5.2

But is the bootloader has changed after I used this awesome app?

Thnx..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] freemini:
if you don't understand what the bootloader is, then really don't use this. I'm pretty sure you're talking about the kernel. Only Windows ODIN can change the bootloader on your device. This app modifies some values like the USB Jig when using the old bootloader except this is a software solution that has risks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alexnative:
thanks for ur answer

hmm.. maybe i'm not really understand what is the bootloader is but maybe i'm the only one have this little problem with the boot logo it should be a Samsung Galaxy S II and a yellow triangle... and after i flash this app it work... with current status Triangle not visible and counter : 0 ... but after i reboot i got my boot logo with DOC [not Samsung Galaxy S II] and maybe it's came from my other ROM [beside CM9] Hyperdroid Androidmeda w/ DOC Surgeon boot animation.

maybe before i'm using Odin to bring back Samsung Galaxy S II... are there any solution... i just guessing maybe some files on my internal SD data that change the logo or anything else ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] poppienutshell:
When I download, it's actually a zip file. Or am I seeing things? If i were to flash it via recovery, it should work too right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 02xda2:
:) Download the attachment and flash thru CWM.. you should be OK...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ephraim:

Hi Chainfire,

I used Dr.Ketan's guide to run ICS (from stock GB). I then ran speedmod's kernal which gave me the yellow triangle. When I use your No Triangle app, it picks up the correct handset but is unable to determine the "Current Status" and says it needs to boot into "a special bootmode" which does nothing if you click it ?

Any suggestions / ideas?

Stock ICS build number was: IML74K.XWLP7

I had CM 7.2.0 and I did the following:

backed up everything via recovery

formated /cache and /data

installed CM 9.0.0 RC1 (MD5: 9a3806498aed79b7c9a0106c34c047cd)

allowed root for Apps and ADB (in CM settings; most likely this is unnecessary)

installed TriangleAway 1.51

opened TriangleAway for the first time and allowed it's root rights

rebooted

used TriangleAway

rebooted

restored everything via recovery
