You can remove the yellow triangle by

1) Flashing back to the original Kernel

2) resetting the binary counter using USB Jig (Check Ebay for "USB Jig Samsung Galaxy S2" and Youtube for instructions)

The yellow triangle is just a warning that you have flashed insecure kernel and i see no danger in that.

Thanks for the reply

Can use CheckFUS to download the European firmware. See this thread.

Yes..Use the ODIN and PDA option to flash the firmware..

You mentioned you will sent phone to service.
Your binary counter will not be reset even though you flash the original firmware.

See if you can buy a USB jig. It might be handy for you always to unbrick you device, in case u brick/semi-brick it.

You can also home make USB jig from a spare micro USB cable. See instructions here. But be careful of the terminals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0

The main function of the Yellow Triangle, is to show to Samsung Service that you did something that violates the warranty.

So Samsung Service can tell you:
"You have to pay to repair this device, you have violated the warranty."
