Rooted device ??? Warranty Broken ??? Enjoy your bricked device under warranty !!

That last thing you want to hear when submitting your device for a warranty repair is, “You rooted your device and broke the warranty so I can’t help you. Enjoy your bricked device!” The tech in the store or at the repair center rarely knows exactly what was done, but they tend to pay attention to the status of your bootloader and if you have a rooted device and/or custom firmware. In the case of newer Samsung devices, after flashing a custom kernel, the screen displays a nice yellow triangle on boot signifying you’ve done something that the manufacturer didn’t want you to.

XDA Elite Recognized Developer Chainfire recently created an app called Triangle Away, which clears the system flag on select Samsung devices so that the annoying triangle goes away. Today, he updated the app to version 1.80, which adds support for the US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S III, along with the entire Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 series. Recently added devices:
