[Q] Can someone damaged the phone using applications TriangleAway.apk

Gregs5 · Sep 26, 2012

Everyone wants to make the rooted Galaxy Note performing complex tasks.
The easiest way to install a secure kernel has CWM using PC Odin. Then you need to remove only the yellow triangle using TriangleAway. Using this application, the fear in many people. Please share your experiences.

Although in the original thread of triangle away it is mention that this may cause problems... As it does in all dev posts.
I have used tri away a lot of times and it worked like a charm.

P. S : this doesn't mean I am 100 sure that nothing will happen the next time. Risk to take.

I, too many times I've used this application and never failed me. That is why I ask if others have had problems with TriangleAway.

for me, I used it on my phone and friends phone many times and there was no problem at all although in the original post it is mentioned that it is dangerous operation!!!
I think it is matter of luck.. it doesn't mean if it work for me it will work for you.. you have to carry some risk.. and how can you enjoy the life without carrying some risks!!!

Depends on how the dev accessed the risk and what caused known issues. Probably Chainfire will have more insight

I have never read any report of brick by using it, even though it is said dangerous by developers.
I think even if it can cause brick it should be soft brick,not hard brick.

When I started in note world and when you could root with cwm.zip and somehow once in stock ics .. The cwm.zip was declared dangerous the only way to get root and get a safe kernel for some days was flashing notecore and every other safe kernel was pc odin then triangle away.. You must remember this period clearly.. I had to use triangle away once and when rebooted the procedure did deleted all my folders and launcher setups.. Also the device was acting weird and buggy and had to restock to gb with pc odin and wait for a solution to root ics without flashing kernels with pc odin.. I'm staying away from triangle away for ever.. Even when my note 2 gets home if the only method to root its flashing stuff with pc odin that will get me a triangle well guess I won't root my device until there's a method that leads me to avoid triangle away at all costs

Indeed I never used triangle away in my device
But for everyone it is difficult to choose long path. Afaik
Note 2is concerned we must have to use triangle away if you want to root, as since some time samsung stock recovery no more allowing test sign zip file from recovery. In this condition I don't think we may have any alternative.

I have only experienced issue with Triangle Away when using Speedmod and Franco kernels. If I use Triangle Away, I always flash a CF kernel before running the app. Then I revert to my kernel of choice thereafter.

Gregs5 · Sep 27, 2012

You do not have to. If there is a triangle and the counter shows a custom ROM, you can use the triangle and leave the kernel.

If I understood correctly, your phone is not damaged by TriangleAway.

This is a good idea once root and then as long as try to preserve root.
Here particularly in Note problem is more just b'coz of brick bug, here we have to care all the time and look for all the aspect to escape from it. Note 2 and SGS 3 reported brick bug free so i dont think there should be much complicated.
Though i have not used TA in my device but in samsung tab and galaxy 3 i have to use it at least >15 time, but never cause any issue.

Anyways I do still think this whole rooting thing it's plain stupid... It should be like windows.. You can choose either if you want limited account or administrator account.. And then choose a sub level of protección UAC like Wich can go from no protection at all or very limited access to stuff.. But then that's up you... It's your damn device..

Like if you gonna give a phone to your kids or wife you can set up a limited account and set parental control etc to protect them from inadequate/dangerous content.. Not worrying about rooting or losing it.. Plain lame

You can use mobileodin it will not leave a mark. Just use the pc odin to flash official rom. I never experienced yellow triangle so far in my device.

right... but i guess most of the users get triangle away when they are stuck in a boot loop and PC odin seems to rescue (if no nandroid backup)

Gregs5 · Sep 28, 2012

I invite all who used TriangleAway to share their insights and experiences on the application.

opiujn · Sep 28, 2012

I've not had the yellow triangle for a long time now and therefor not used the TA app lately. But before I ran it several times from many different rom versions and kernels. Have probably used it more than 30 times and never experienced/noticed any kind of issues. It seems to be very stable and solid to me, or maybe I was just lucky, who knows.
