root Triangle Away v2.60
Requirements: 4.0 and up
Overview: Many Samsung devices store a
flash counter that keeps track of how many times you have flashed
*custom* firmwares to your device. On some devices, a yellow triangle or
other sort of visual warning is also displayed during boot if you are
running a *custom* firmware. TriangleAway was built do disable the
triangle (if a visual warning is present) and reset the custom ROM flash
counter to 0. This app requires root !
You can find out the current status of
your flash counter and firmware state (custom or official) by booting
into “download mode” on most devices. The usual way of getting into
“download mode” is by first turning off your device, then turning it on
by pressing and holding volumedown+home+power. Alternatively, the “adb
reboot download” command also often works.
When you run TriangleAway, if your
device and firmware are supported, it will show you the detected state
of the binary (custom or official) and flash counter value, and the
option to “Reset flash counter”. Please confirm that the information
shown is correct before resetting the values.
On a number of devices, TriangleAway
can work, but your firmware may not be supported directly. In that case,
the app will tell you it needs to reboot into a special boot mode,
which will be happen if you select “Reset flash counter”. The device
will reboot into a special mode which will allow you to review the
current status and reset the binary and flash counter values (or abort
and do nothing).
!!! THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND
COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. A USB JIG
IS PREFERRED IF YOU HAVE A WORKING ONE !!!
( and by brick I mean brick – only a
board replacement or a JTAG unit will be able to save you, don’t mess
with boot(loader) stuff unless you *really* mean it! )
Note#1: using Triangle Away may unmount your SD card. Reboot or manually remount it from Android settings.
Note#2: on the SGS3, the “system modified” status can only be reset on some firmwares.

Whether or not Triangle Away works
depends largely on your kernel. Flashing a different kernel may make it
work if it previously didn’t.
Variants that are NOT based on Exynos
processors but rather on Qualcomm or Nvidia processors are NOT expected
to work. I honestly would NOT try (until further notice) – examples are
the Skyrocket and AT&T Note.
For discussion and technical details, see the XDA-Developers.com thread here:
Note that this download is also
available from that thread completely for free. You can go there and
download it for free, or buy me a beer and download it from Market. It
is 100% the exact same program.
