hi...i have few questions...according to creezalird guide...the way to remove yellow triangle is to use ktool n flash samsung stock kernel..

1)do we have to live with the yellow triangle if we want to use the rooted kernel say superatmos kernel?coz flashing samsung stock kernel to remove the triangle will overwrite the superatmos kernel rite?

2)does removing the binary count (mahadir guide) will also remove the yellow triangle?

both of you a little bit on the wrong path, maybe my guide is not very clear.

usb jig is like the ultimate resetter, it can clear binary counter and also yellow triangle, but it need old bootloader to be working.

dante10, the steps to remove yellow triangle from my guide, if u understand it properly, the last result will get u back on the superatmos kernel

example : now on superatmos, u dump using ktool, then u flash stock kernel using odin, then u reflash the dumped superatmos before, so right now u are back to superatmos but without yellow triangle. but still with binary counter as it can only be removed using usb jig.

ya ya i dun really understand that part..but now its all clear....thanks 2 u creezalird...im rooted now..but it seems i have a lil problem...ive use the superatmos kernel 2.1.1(superatmos said its dzkl3 version of v3.0)...when i check at kernel version its unchange..it should change to somethg else rite?..superuser is installed as well as the cwm app..when i try to reboot into CWM it goes into the stock recovery...no CWM...should i just use the V3.0 instead?

really? maybe u should report it back to superatmos. maybe he forgot to include or forgot to call the script.

btw u can just try 3.0 also, it is better in my opinion and CWM worked, just backed up my rom in few minutes.

version should not be changing as he only modded the initramfs i think, not build from sources, u can just ignore the version.

ive reflash to v3.0..now evrythng seems to work..dun really care bout binary...get jig later...thnks thumbup.gif

Hello sifus, I've been reading through this thread for a while and my first time using Odin. So I finally flash from the Malaysian I9100GDZKL3 (CSC:I9100GOLCKL3) to the German I9100GXXLA1 (CSC:I9100GDBTKL2)

All stock

Everything works fine so far and nothing has gone wrong yet but when I plug it into Kies, it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"

Is that a bad thing? Should I be worried about it when the ICS update does finally come out?
*
if u want to upgrade via kies later u need to change the CSC.. its not a really bad thing..u can always use odin to upgrade/downgrade...kies sometimes suck n buggy..

Yeah Kies can be a pain at times. It'll keep saying Connecting... for some time before telling me its failed. Odin it is then.

no need to worry about that kies...im also facing the same problem after install a custom kernel... rclxub.gif

Hi,
I can't seem to root my device, I've tried both ways in the pdf guide...

[attachmentid=2778450]

This was what happened when I tried the second method...
I'm a newbie so bare with my ignorance
any idea why ? I'm stuck... But my phone is fine and works normally...
Thanks smile.gif

And this is when I tried with the other kernel.
[attachmentid=2778457]

I even tried doomlord's method. The runme.bat file works I guess, cause it reboots the phone at the end, after it restarts and I start kTool, and I click flash kernel from sdcard, they say (no root access?!!)
and I cant even reboot from kTools...
*
have u install install kies? or try other usb port?

This was what I did and now my cwm doesnt operate properly.
Everytime I run it it says "This version of CWM Manager should be usedwith CF-zroot v5.0 or newer. I appears that you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."
My CMW manager practically doesnt work at all...
It opens but cant function at all. What should I do ?
And I have already backed up with the cwm manager earlier, but I cant seem to restore it at all...

flash back rooted kernel using ktool.. eg: superatmos ,lucifr..

1:download rooted kernel
2: extract the .zip file till u get the zImage
3:place the zImage in ur internal storage (dont put in folder)
4: run ktool ,tap flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage
5:reboot then try access ur cwm

i got the same error as below:

"This version of CWM Manager should be usedwith CF-zroot v5.0 or newer. I appears that you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."

so i just reflashed the root kernel thru odin and the YT still appears but CWM is ok. so i'm going to use usb jig to try to remove the YT.

but i've already flash with GB kernel 2.3.6..

is it possible to do so with USB jig?
*
yes its possible...but first u need to flash dzkj2 bootloader if u are in newer rom/kernel eg dzkl3,xxla1,xxlb1..cuz newer bootloader wont work with jig as mention in creezalird guide. using jig also will reset binary counter to 0 back..thats other benefit using jig.. smile.gif

*
yes...u shld able to flash custom kernel without any YT and bnary...here the link i take from mahadirlab.com and its in malay http://www.mahadirlab.com/tutorial-reset-b...00g-dzkl3/..its a guide and u shld found the link for the bootloader in tht page..

*
its not a a kernel..its a bootloader.. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1basp4bll56pzx8 ..yes u need odin to flash this thing..after flashing..turn off phone then u connect usb jig to reset binary+YT..

ever tried the other option by flashing the root kernel?

hi mate, i did settled the YT issue. these are the steps i did:

tool: buy a usb jig; its a must

steps: 1. download the old bootloader from dante10 post above
          2. by using odin, select the .tar file and set it as PDA.
          3. Press start and the phone will reboot after it successfully flashed the bootloader.
          4. switch off phone.
          5. connect the jig and your phone will automatically detects the device and your flash counter will be 0 again!
          6. after reboot phone, no more YT!!! can flash custom kernel thru CWM as i did with non-G version!!

Thanks!!
