1. Download Mobile Odin Lite (Download) or Pro (Market)
If using Lite then install this APK next - (Download)
2. Download and copy to device - StockKernel-PDA.tar
3. Open Mobile Odin > select Kernel > StockKernel-PDA.tar
4. Scroll down to FLASH FIRMWARE
It will now reboot, wait a few minutes...
5. After it reboots go back to Mobile Odin and flash Entropy or Siyah kernel using the TAR or zImage file (zips don't work).
MIUI & CM7 Users
1. Boot in recovery and do a Nandroid backup!
2. Wipe everything and restore to 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 based ROM (UnNamed, ShoStock, etc)

Other than pictures, how does your thread differ from this one that already has a detailed step by step on how to use Mobile Odin?

That's to avoid the triangle, this is if you have it already and want to do everything without a computer.

Your title says how to remove warning triangle. Avoid, remove... its the same thing. The other thread gives step by step on how to remove, avoid and how to use Mobile Odin all in one shot.
So again, how does this thread differ?

I guess I missed it but where does it show in that guide how to remove it using Mobile Odin? I see how to flash a new kernel without ever getting the triangle.
His other guide here (which is in the OP), shows how to remove it with a computer.
If its there and I am blind then by all means you can close the thread and I am sorry.

Thanks for the write up!

Are you sure that this removes the warning sign?
Since it's an on-device flash I'd be shocked if it removes it. Only download mode (Odin/Heimdall) flashes trigger changes to the warning screen. That's how we can flash custom kernels on-device without triggering it.

---

Thanks.. finally that annoying triangle is gone!!!

---

Just did it following the op's instructions and it does remove the triangle on boot. After flashing entropy's 1/23 release cause it was a tar file there still wasn't a triangle. I then flashed his 1/29 release via cwm and there is still no triangle on boot.
Thanks op for a quick, easy, and painless way of getting rid of it.

This is awesome! Thanks a bunch! One more question (probably an ignorant one) - if one flashes a new ROM, lets say CM7 after UnNamed, does the triangle reappear?

As long as you use CWM from Entropy or Siyah Kernel it should be fine and the triangle wont appear.

Weird... If an internal flash of a stock binary will clear the triangle, that makes things a LOT easier for people.

---

Worked perfectly on the bus home from high school it never really bothered me but was easy enough so i figured why not do it

Yup, now nobody should be complaining about the triangle since there is many ways around it.

Could someone please explain this to me.
Facts as I understand them:
Mobile Odin uses a "flash kernel" to flash most of the elements of the software. However, it is possible to use Mobile Odin lite without the "flash kernel" to flash a kernel. The "flash kernel" is actually a version of ClockworkMod Recovery that is loaded by Mobile Odin. My assumption then is that Mobile Odin flashes the kernel internally, and then boots into ClockworkMod Recovery, its "flash kernel", to flash the rest of the software.
We currently understand that anything flashed with ClockworkMod Recovery does not affect the flash counter or the yellow warning triangle, but appearantly, Mobile Odin does not use its "flash kernel" to flash the kernel?
Charifire makes the following statement in the OP of his Mobile Odin thread:
Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.

So, the puzzle and the question is, if flashing a custom kernel with Mobile Odin does not make the yellow warning triangle appear, then why does flashing a stock kernel with Mobile Odin remove it?

Hmm, seems worth a try.
Odin is taking forever "dumping" since this device isn't supported. Weird.
