Yellow Exclamation Mark

So what does this Yellow Exclamation Mark appearing while turning on my SGS II refer to?
I noticed, originally didn't have it but it appeared after taking my phone to Samsung sponser to update my software to allow Arabic language support!
Although I'm shifting from my old HTC Desire HD, I'm not familier with flashing new ROMs & these issues. I don't even know how to make it.
One more observation I noticed after the update, is that the connection to the official phone software update server always fails. Originally, it was working with "No Updates Available" result!
I wonder what did they make to my phone which may have caused this & how can I fix it!
Please advice!

Afaik it means your phone is rooted. It is running a non samsung original kernel.

seems they installed what we call here a "custom rom" , meaning, a non-official one.
the yellow triangle only indicates that the phone is flashed with a non officially released rom .
strange, if that's where you bought your phone, that they flashed it with that
as long as you got this trinagle, you won't be able to update via KIES, which is normal cause it manages only official samsung release.

False.
To OP: Get USB jig if you wanna use custom kernels. It will remove yellow triangle and reset download counter

Just checking my Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKF1-CL277308 [email protected]#2
Yes it seems strange! But maybe when you know I'm living in Kuwait it explains the issue as it seems that was the only way for them to get the Arabic language support to the devices in sold in Middle East!
The question is that why Samsung has not realeased this support officially? So many older Samsung devices already supports Arabic! & who then made this ROM for SGS II rather than Samsung?

damn, this usb jig reselling seems to be flourishing ...
We don't even know what samsung intend to do with this counter anyway ( and i remember ChainFire saying that there is an hidden one ).
That's not Nour826 who has flashed the phone, but the people where he/she has bought it.
The usb jig is a micro-usb that you insert in the micro USB port to get rid of the triangle at boot and to force reset the flash counter for custom rom that you can see in Download mode (when maintaining VOL down + HOME + power when the phone is off )

I may be pulling stuff out of my arse here, but can't you get rid of the triangle by just flashing the proper kernal to you firmware ( something like that?).

Thank you Amrael! It seems you guys are using your phones in a different way than what I used to know )))
It is really appriciatd if you can guide me with any links that explains ROMs from scratch as I told you my information about is almost Zero!
If I am to LEARN to flash a new ROM, which of them is the best & SUPPORTING ARABIC LANGUAGE?

You can grab the USB jig here:
(well, i would post a link, but this forum is damn unfriendly to us noobs it appears. I can't thank the developer for the custom rom I've installed because I don't have enough posts, and now I can't post a link to the jig because I don't have enough posts for that either...)
Do a google search for mobiletechvideos. That should get you in the right direction.
The jig works like a charm.

mmmh as starter, you can try this post i think, in the android dev section :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
i've checked it quickly, but it seems that the firmware JPKF2 have arabic (not sure, but the CSC of this firmware is for arabic countries ).
if it does what you seek, you will end with an official rom, unrooted, and able to see updates via KIES
all i've learned is by reading a lot in here and with my past months with my old SGS
It's not really hard, but the first time you try it's always a big stress
i'm now able to theme my phone myself (well, with the help of romkitchen.org too ) but i'm far from what i would call a "developper" anyway.
And i won't call the ability to copypaste some icons from a zip to another being a developper anyway ^^.

My experience with this update was little nervous! I do felt as if I am destroying my mobile! But, it worked!
Results were as follows:
Quite went against my expectations not to lose any any of my settings, applications, or information. It has started back with even my wallpaper settings & home screen Widgets!
Only what seems to be removed through this update by Samsung, is the Music Hup as originally it was giving a message that music hup is not currently supported in my country. No worry! Music was never was of my interests
Good news that I have no more Yellow Triangles while starting which indicates I am running an official kernel as I understand!
The bad news that I am still not able to connect to the update servers!
Which I think I am still in need to your advice about )))
I have already uploaded couple of pictures above indicating the new kernel I am currently running, & the failure message received everytime I try to check for updates.
Once again, I do thank you for giving me this experience anyhow. & sorry for the long post!

Would you be kind enough to link us to ChainFire posting this, as I've only ever seen the hidden counter said as rumour and would certainly trust it more if I'd seen him say it.

@nour826 :
don't worry with the OTA server, seems it's still not used by samsung ( at least , not in our countries.).
We had it too in SGS roms, and it never worked.
To my understanding, it's supposed to replace Kies for upgrades.
@johncmolyneux :
i will try to find back where ChainFire was talking about the hidden counter, but was a few month ago now.
i remember he was not completely sure of that either and i've not actively followed this.
ha , i've found that back ; was in the second page of the CF-root kernel :

@Nour826
Hi, I have the exact same situation as yours (yellow triangle, exact same kernel version). I bought my SG2 here in Qatar. Perhaps this is a Middle East issue.
So am I correct in assuming that the phone is already rooted. How does one confirm this. Also when you flashed a new ROM; your Kernel version changed. Did you flash a different Kernel as well. Which ROM did you use and are you happy with it?
Thanks.

LG G2 is very brickable?

I have been reading here so many of Lg g2 users being brick(software/hardware) . My question is, is G2 that easy to brick ? Or those who got bricked are just the minority? I still have my gnex for 2 years and that one is so hard to brick unless you're so dumb. Fortunately I have not bricked my g2 yet coz I have been very careful. But I am still very paranoid about this. Thanks

I've been thinking the same as well,

I don't consider myself noob, I have been rooting phones for the past 6 years and never bricked one, until the LG G2(sprint). I tried every one of the ways to get it working on XDA as well as searched the internet for 3 days. I couldn't un-brick it. Luckily, I was able to get a replacement, but until there's more confirmed success stories of Sprint users un-bricking, this baby will remain stock.

honestly, i think a large part of the issue is the fact that the G2 XDA troubleshooting forums are all integrated instead of broken into its different variants. people seem to constantly be using the wrong files or methods for their variants.

What do you think the definition of brick is?
I think its when phone will not turn on as in can not get to download mode. Then there is of course soft brick which is when the phone will not boot to the rom. Either freezes on boot or bootloops. Opinions welcomed......

Did you tried doing a hardware reset. Hold down power and volume down. Then go through on screen steps. The reason I say this is because everytime I would kdz my phone it would bootloop. Hard reset fixed it everytime.

to me, there's a hard brick and soft brick. hard brick is when you no longer have download mode. or when you have corrupted your partitions and have no way to fix them. a soft brick is when you can get to recovery but are having problems flashing roms or going back to stock. soft bricks are fixable by searching the internet for fixes or using tools that take you back to stock. hard bricks are much harder and require more knowledge about the hardware. only a couple people i know can actually get you operational from a hard brick and they normally reside in the #lg-g2 irc channel.

your laptop or pc not recognizing your phone or having problems communicating with it is in my experience almost always a driver problem. i'd look at upgrading or changing my drivers.

i didnt have any problems with my verizon lg g2 never bricked the only thing that happened was when i backed up stock it said it was encrypted but a reboot fixed it right up but i havent been flash happy im running cyanfox and it works just fine

I tried everything. I eventually went to the Sprint Store with my tail between my legs and was completely honest with the tech. I told him I rooted my phone, and was running a custom rom before the boot loop started. He said he would take a look and would let me know. He wasn't able to fix it. This tech seemed familiar with rooting as he mentioned his S4 was rooted. If I had to guess why I couldn't return to stock, I think it was a driver issue. The computer never really seemed to recognize my device. Doesn't matter now, as I have a replacement device and don't plan on wasting time trying to recover my phone, stock will do.... for now

well a brick is a brick. you can not turn a brick into a phone. so, a bricked phone means dead not recoverable. Not "I cant recover it, therefore its a brick"
soft brick is also a term made up.
people can easily say, not booting, rebooting or whatever.
today, every error is brick
is the same as what happened with "APP"

If you can turn on your phone or get some kind of response from it, it is not bricked.

G4 bootloop problem - poll

Hello, this poll is all about to find out how many people having bootloop problem in their g4 beyond their capacity to solve or beyond their acknowledgement why this situation happened in the first place. I myself is a sufferer for this. And I see there are some other people also who are having such issues but cannot solve the problem. Many of them do not apply warrenty policy. So some serious help needed here. So this poll will do 2 things:
1. How many people having bootloop problem that isn't solved by now.
2. What was the software condition (broadly) in their devices.
I am not a big fan of polling. But I believe this is a way to gain attraction of the important people who can solve the problem. Plus many can be aware of what they should and should not do with their devices i.e. unlocking bootloader, rooting, flashing international rom or custom rom etc. In that faith, let's start.

H815 Euro BL Unlocked, flashed H81520A via zips and now Bootlooping at LG Logo , no access to TWRP

I have been digging the issue. What I found is
1. A good number of people are having the problem.
2. Provided solution: Changing the motherboard or Replacement of the device
3. Rumour: G4's before September 2015 have major design flaws. Sprint has been pulling in all their devices and giving replacement of the complained devices or offering other devices.
(I have attached screenshots of a community of Sprint users)
If this is real, why we people have to be sufferer? Those who cannot claim warrenty or have unlocked bootloader will do what? In my screenshots, u will find that, some sprint guy saying that it's a known issue. If it's a known issue, why not LG addressing it publicly and helping the buyers?
I have compiled some xda screenshots also to address the severity of the problem.

If you check my profile you will see I am no noob..would not post something thats "Fishy"...many developers that post roms..apks..themes..use Mega its just a app from the playstore..this is the reason why I really dont visit XDA to often but rather a developers private site..instead of saying thanks or sending PM asking you tag something as "Fishy"..but when you try it and your back up and running I hope you enjoy your Tablet...oh I forgot to add you need to grab the boot file that allows you to root the T337A and flash that 1st..but I will not post that..just a heads up

Hey sorry I guess I didn't realize the way I asked that. My apologies =(
I followed your fix and it worked! Thank you so much haha. Thanks for sure.

Yeah mega is best cloud storage in my opinion..... other clouds have like 10gb space for free users but mega has 50 gb, and in e.g dropbox that much would cost money

hello, can any one help me fix this massage too, my tab 4 does the same - "System Software Not Authorized by AT&T has been found on your tablet. Please turn off your tablet and go to the nearest AT&T store for help" massage and its not rooted or anything at all.. i just got it as a gift.. its an att Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8.0) SM-T337A. I was running it stock with out any root changes and all the soddenly one day it just went blank and after rebooting the massage show up... any help is welcome.

The fix is for Lollipop. If the tablet was upgraded to Lollipop and someone tried to root it thats why that message appears. If its not Lollipop I dont believe it will work.

This is not my work..Credit goes to Cocafoca for finding the fix. It was passed on to me and the fix worked.
SM-N910T...PoprocksV17..the shiznit!

thanks a lot it worked for me... after few attempts it finally did its job and reboot just like was before, the only thing i lost all my data.. but not a big dial.. defiantly thanks to Butchiboy's and Cocafocus help.

Glad everything worked out for you
SM-T337A..Lollipop (damn ATT locked bootloader)

i keep trying this and it keeps freezing on me ;/ any suggestions?
Nevermind I fixed it, I didn't relive I had the tablet hooked into a USB hub lol
**this worked on my at&t tab 4 8.0 t337a**
Is there a better root method that won't piss at&t off lol

mr_p_man said:
Same issue here. Can anyone confirm this works? The quote above seems a little fishy. Butchiboy's provided link (see his og post above) is an application for Mega and I don't want to have to create an account for something that might not work.

Why would you use a one click root? It's not very difficult to root using the actual method to obtain root. Props to the dev of one click root apps, but if u ask me, if you want root do it yourself. Less of a chance you will mess up and if you do manage to mess up you know what u did and that's just not the case with one click root apps.

They have a locked bootloader so custom kernels and custom recoveries simply aren't an option. So they have to use whatever works, which is usually a one click root app (or in sometimes a full-blown pre-rooted firmware, but nobody's made one of those for this device)
Not that I disagree with you outright. If one has a device with an unlocked bootloader, it's always better to do it right, rather than these sketchy one-click root apps. But people with AT&T or Verizon devices have completely locked down bootloaders, so they don't have much of a choice. I've been missing CM on my phone (AT&T branded) I finally snapped and bought myself an international model

Oh I gotcha. That makes sence. So is there no way to unlock the bootloader AT&T or verizon? I have a HTC Desire 510 from cricket that had a locked bootloader but was able to get a unlock token from HTC. Most difficult phone I had to root in terms of being tedious and the time it took lol. I have rooted my tab 4 and my s4 before screen broke, both of which were straightforward and pretty simple, but never had AT&T or Verizon. I wonder why they have locked bootloader without having a way to unlock it like my HTC. Anyways thanks for your response, I always enjoy learning new things about android and software/hardware in general. Also do you have chrome on ur phone, if you do does it auto update with out permission. Mine just started doing this a few days ago.

I can confirm sm-t337a unauthorized software boot msg

I tried this but when I run "AP" from Odin it says success way too fast and nothing happens. I then tried the command line "adb sideload boot(LP fix).tar" and I get "E:Footer is wrong, E:Signature verification failed". Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Hold on. I just tried the Odin AP through "boot to downloader" and it worked! Thanks!

Hi everyone...
I'm new to Android and iBones (sic), I'm more of an old school PC "CounterStrike/Team Fortress/Half-Life" type.
Anyhow, I got myself in the same position as the others here with the AT&T branded Tab 4s. I can see how easy it is to get into that position now, as I like exploring, or doing something just because I'm told I can't.
As for the fix posted here, it works. I was even surprised that all my apps were still there, minus pics, porn and movies. Uhhh, did I say porn?
The only thing that scared me was how easy and fast it was. It's nice to catch a break now and again!
Props to butchieboy!!!

I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (SM-T537A) 5.1.1 and did kingroot this morning to remove all the ADS, my word the ads... Anyway got that message Secure Fail: Kernel after rebooting - Sorry to say this method did NOT work for me. Is it because I have a 10.1 (SM-T537A)? Any suggestions? Thanks and I will keep looking digging.

Anything special with this update ? Would this disable the recent root capability ?

It says it's the security patches but clocking in at over 300mb doesn't make sense for just security patches...

Exactly, I'm gonna wait and see before I update. Hoping this root leads to greater things and would hat to loose it if this patches it.

It's been mentioned before on multiple threads. Root is still achievable on the latest patch

Thanks didn't see that.

Oh speaking of root, I have noticed something. If you enable secure startup and then reboot and decrypt with your pattern and then try to use titanium backup-- it says no root. I just disabled secure startup and rebooted and all was good again. Just a random thing and did not want to make a separate thread. If anyone disproves this, let me know. I prefer secure startup.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that has more to do with Titanium Backup than it does with this update. Thanks though.

There are threads here in the T-Mobile s7edge sections.
sent via sm-g935t root pg1 xposed

Unlocked phone, should I update?
I just received my new S7 Edge (from T-Mobile) from someone locally last week. I updated the phone but could not use it on AT&T until I unlocked the phone. T-Mobile would not unlock it because I was not under contract with them. I found a *service that enabled me to use the T-Mobile's unlock app to unlock and I have been rocking ever since... then I started getting this notification to do an update. The details of which mentions security... would I be at risk for this update to re-lock my phone? I don't know how often these updates come out but I don't want to worry each time.
* did not mention the service name because I don't want my first post to get deleted...

From what I understand, once the phone is unlocked it is unlocked for good. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that's the experience I've had with all my past phones.

Seriously dude? We even have videos and step-by-step guides. If you found this, how could you not find the thread with the instructions to root?
Perhaps you shouldn't at all. It requires reading, following directions and some minor searching for the fine tuning.

I'm curious as to what "service" you used. Your post won't get deleted unless it's directing the forum to use something illegal or for your personal profit.
The unlock should persist even after rooting.

I used cellunlocker.net I really went out on a limb trying them out but I'm glad I did. All my emails were answered but somewhat delayed. The phone was brand new, never been out of the box, but T-mobile would not unlock it for me.

Ok, so an update from T-Mobile should not be a problem you think? Not sure I want to root yet... so far it is doing everything I can think of.

Is there a volume mod for this root method ?
I wanted king rom but I'm sure it will not work since bootloader locked

To answer it. Yes there is. Viper4Android. Good luck.
