Default Yellow Triangle on Boot.

Hi everyone.
Ive had my phone rooted for a while and ive been flashing allsorts over the past few months (kernels,roms,mods...)
I had the yellow triangle on boot when I first flashed the CFroot kernel (like everyone does)...
But somewhere along the line id managed to keep my phone rooted and somehow remove the triangle!

No matter what I flashed the triangle was still gone...

Unfortunatly today I had to 'ODIN' flash my stock rom again cuz all my backups were saying 'md5 mismatch' and thus the warning symbol appears when i root my phone again...

Does anyone know how I can root my phone and keep that triangle away? Without using the Triangle away app...

Thanks

Try using triangle away if youre using ICS, search for it. or flash a stock kernel that matches your firmware

Have a look at this thread, post 2 will tell you how to remove the yellow triangle then return CWM to full working order. If you flashed using chainfires CF root this will sort it for you.

You will need the stock kernel from this post that fits your phone so make sure you download the correct one

Try re-reading post 3, which is right above yours.

If you care to learn... the triangle is a visual indicator that a kernel that was NOT signed by Samsung is currently flashed to your phone.

So you can root your phone by flashing a CF-root kernel (linked in post 3), then re-flash a stock Samsung signed kernel (also in that post) to remove the triangle, and you will retain root. (That will NOT, however, remove the flash count. But you didn't ask about that...)
I never wanted to have a signature, but it seems I must. Please do not PM me directly for technical support. I mean it! No exceptions! Thank you.

Everyone (esPECIALLY n00bs) should read this.

It CAN... but only if you are running the old bootloader. The old bootloader still works with ICS.

What you ask is simple and that is what you must have done....

Flash the official kernel back after cfroot, it removes the triangle.

But remember, the counter stays that's why people use jig, triangle away.
