Good to know. Thanks

Flashing via recovery and or Mobile Odin use the same technique; writing directly to the boot partiton from the phone's shell, for example (as root):

Code:

cat zImage > /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Not trickery

Yup, and CWM recovery flashes by writing directly to the mmc partition.

Mobile ODIN only uses CWM as "a place to live", it does all the flashing itself. On half of the devices CWM isn't even used.

Anyways, you will simply be able to use TriangleAway as soon as you have a working Linux 3.0 based kernel, so yeah, that means ICS.

Neither GB nor HC expose the hidden partitions.

what if we flash a bad kernel, assuming to the correct partition, is there anyway to get to Mobile Odin to reflash stock kernel?

i have the brickbug and i am going to return my p6200 to service. before do that, i want to be sure that everything is ok. but i did not understand where this triangle shpuld be.
I can get into download mode, and my counter is not increased (it is like shown in the first image of your post)
Where should i look for the yellow triangle? when i hold power+vol - to get into download mode, i see a yellow triangle before pressing the vol up buttom to continue... is THAT triangle? or is it just a warning?
can someone post a picture of it to let me understand?
thank you

you will see yellow triangle under samsung logo prior to bootanimation start up. it is just couple second show up then disappear

So i am pretty sure that mine doesnot have it. With my brickbug that screen doesn't even show up, it goes straight to the "Samsung galaxy tab 7 plus" screen... Do you think that i should check something else before takin'it to samsung service?
Thank you man
