[ACS][DEV] Lets Get Rid of that Yellow Triangle.. Proof of Concept.. **Updated 10/28

I guess the title is a little misleading... because I've already figured it out. No jig needed.

Well lets get to it.

Contains this kernel:

First, flash a custom kernel so you can root your phone. Doesn't matter, just get it rooted, how ever you wish.

Then, flash the "Pulled" stock kernel provided by Bubby323

Thanks JBN:

After that, this is where I come in...

Go to
http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/
and download FlashzImage.zip

unzip it to your PC, it requires that you have drivers installed to ADB into your phone.

ADB binary is in the zip, so you don't need that, just debugging mode turned on.

Run Install.bat

Make sure your screen is on, so you can accept the SU prompt. your phone will reboot at some point, and it will have my newest test kernel and no yellow triangle...

Thanks to QbKing77 for the How To Video:

From there, you can install any kernel you want from CWM using zips, and not increase your odin mode binary counter.

Also if your prefer, you can replace the zImage in the original zip with any kernel to flash...

This could be adapted to mac or linux pretty easy im sure, but I'm not gonna do it, thats why I labeled this a proof of concept. all the bat file does is push the files. you can manually push them and chmod and run the script and get the same effects..

anyways, heres my small contribution for the day...

Thanks to Orionstein and Rjmjr69 for help testing...

Does it reset the binary counter?

churro7 · Oct 11, 2011

$2 jig does both

Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

chris41g · Oct 11, 2011

no, just removes the custom binary flag.... which removes the triangle..

sorry but im not gonna try to decompile the boot loader and what not... especially since i dont have the phone..

yes youre correct it does...

but why should you have to buy a jig? why should you have to odin kernels at all?? it should be used as a safeguard...

this method is to get cwm on your phone, and this method only needs to be used once, then you can use CWM to flash everythign from then on out...

or you can buy a 2 dollar jig, use odin every time, use your jig everytime...

doesnt matter to me, like i said, this is my small contribution for the day...

You, sir, are a man among men... Thank you for your Kernel and for this fix (that yellow triangle just BUGS - like an itch you can't scratch).

darren.wlsn1 · Oct 11, 2011

thanx chris, great work as usual.

dja2k · Oct 11, 2011

That crappy yellow triangle is GONE, thanks Chris!

chris is it normal to still be on your LoS beta kernel after running this? triangle is gone but phone info. says im still on your beta kernel.

That's what he included in it from my understanding.

ty for answers.

Would bmlwrite not achieve the same result as DDing to the partition?

chris41g · Oct 11, 2011

I don't think so, since it doesn't have a bml layer, though I could be wrong..

Work is much appreciated but I only used it once and any subsequent flashes showed no triangle or binary counter

Thought I lost root there for a minute. Actually, I did. I don't know. Mixed emothion about Sammy device. I hate the the pre-configured product; love your software Chris. Hope you get one of these.

After doing this, if I want to flash another kernel that was packaged for odin, do I just get a cwm packaged kernel and replace the zimage with the one found in the tar?

Edit: I was an impatient prick and did just what I asked and it worked out fine. Thank you for doing this. My theory is that the way were putting CWM on our phones via Odin was the reason that some of us got more frequent LOS after flashing. Only time will tell. I know that when I am on stock pulled kernel, I go days without LOS. As soon as I flash CWM via Odin or flash an Odin custom kernel, I am back to LOS within hours or even minutes in between instances. I have a feeling that this will make things better for custom kernels. Fingers crossed.
