The practice of rooting has become a common one among those who use Android devices. However, a common concern among users is whether or not rooting will result in the voiding of the warranty on their device. The answer to this question is, unfortunately, affirmative in some cases. However, what if the device in question could not be identified as having been rooted?
This issue is particularly prevalent among users of Samsung Android devices. The presence of a yellow triangle indicates that an unofficial binary has been installed, which may result in the voiding of the warranty for those who are aware of the relevant indicators. If you have ever owned a Samsung Android phone that you have rooted, it is likely that you have encountered this phenomenon.
There are two principal methods for removing the triangle from the boot screen. This may be for warranty purposes or for the sake of personal satisfaction, as some may consider a certain degree of perfection to be a worthwhile goal.
Chainfire, the developer of the SuperSU application, which has been replacing SuperUser on numerous rooted devices, has recently released a new software program called “Triangle Away.” The Triangle Away application can be used to remove the yellow triangle from the boot screen and reset the flash counter for a select few Samsung devices running Ice Cream Sandwich.
Given the modest price of $1.99, it is a worthwhile investment to maintain the aesthetic appeal of one’s device and, more importantly, to eliminate any indications that the phone has been rooted.
The application can be accessed via the Google Play Store.
It should be noted that the functionality of this application may be limited by device specifications. It is advisable to read the description in detail before making a purchase, in order to ascertain whether the device in question is supported.
