[Q] How do I safely revert to GB from ICS without bricking

Hi there,
The recent rash of hard bricks and fried eMMC chips experienced in ICS roms based on leaked ICS binaries has got me spooked. I want to revert to Gingerbread in a safe way.
Current rom setup is: LP5 base, LP5 kernel, LP6 baseband and imilka's CM9 v3.
Current options at my disposal:
Nandroid backup Gingerbread 2.3.6 DarkyROM v3.3 accessible through CWM
Mobile Odin, for flashing stock .tar's
Other? Open to suggestions
Various users have reported hard bricks after invoking the full wipe command in CWM on leaked binary kernels. I believe my options displayed above are fairly safe but can someone confirm this, has anyone succesfully reverted to GB after flashing a .tar in Odin or using a nandroid backup?
Many thanks,
mcmaddcatt

That's all fine. But what do we do if we are on ICS and want to go back to Gingerbread when we don't have a Gingerbread backup from earlier?

1. Download any custom GB Rom (Darky, Cassie, whatever)
2. Flash Abyss 4.2
3. Reload recovery
4. Do your wipes
5. Flash your custom GB

The safe way would be to flash a stock ROM with PC Odin, or flash a safe kernel with PC Odin and do your flashing with that. The methods outlined above don't sound very safe to me, but maybe I'm wrong.

From what I understand, flashing anything with the leaked kernels is not safe.

I thought the problem was flashing anything with the leaked repack ICS kernels was where the risk of frying your emmc came from, so wouldn't flashing abysskernel from an ICS recovery carry that same risk, hence the recommendations to flash a GB ROM via PC Odin?
Or have I missed a step somewhere ...

[Q] LPY ICS downgrade to GB. Non wipe or full wipe?

So I am one of the "brave" souls who flashed ICS LPY via Mobile odin from Stock GB prerooted ROM. I flashed it together with cf 5.3 kernel. Its been 10 days now and i haven't had any problems but i was lucky that i haven't used CWR nor factory restore. So after reading all the warnings that LPY has a bug on eMMC i want to safely go back to Gingerbread.
Ive searched the forum and found a few methods (Mobile ODIN, PC ODIN, CWR) but i want to make sure that i don't get my device bricked (have no warranty). So my question is Should i choose Full Wipe or a non wipe option while getting back to GB? Or maybe wait a little longer and just try not to stress the I/O till the issue gets resolved?

Full wipe everything just to have a clean gb rom to use afterwards. You don't want to have remains of other roms in there! Just to be sure!

Download pre rooted rom and flash thru pc odin. I came back to gb litening rom twice from lpy and alba 2.1.
This is the way how I downgraded to gb from ics succesfully. It doesn't mean is 100% no risk at all.
Good luck.

Thanks for the guide. I have one question. Is there a way to test if my eMMC is ALREADY DAMAGED? I read that if the EMMC is damaged that's the reason that flashing with PC Odin causes superbrick.

Sorry no ideal. But based to the info and the detail you given. The emmc damaged should not exists at your devices. Since you never use the cf-lpy cwm. I'm not the pro..but my opinion could be the common answer.

If you feel panic with the bricked problem might appear while flashing back to gb. Please don't try ..it was horrible...your heartbeat sure will keep increase fast and faster...believe me..I hv tried twice....
If you feel comfort with the current ics and without any major bug, just keep using it and enjoy while the dev looking for the solution and waiting for kernel sources code realease.
Just keep in mind DUN USE THE CWM.
OR YOU CAN USE TITANIUM BACKUP AND FREEZE THE CWM FOR ANY ACCIDENTALY WRONG PRESS.

Help please. This is the history of my flashing btw...
I had a rooted Gingerbread with CF root kernel KKA. When ICS came out i rushed and Flashed a cf root lpy zimage (kernel only) via Recovery ( i know it was stupid.. ) So i got stuck and i could only come up to CWM. I used the CWM to BACK UP MY DATA (this was before i even flashed the ICS rom). From there i used PC odin to flash kka gingerbread rom. Flashed it without problem. Then i flashed ICS LPY rom together with LPY kernel via Mobile Odin and i clicked wipe data. Everything went well. I haven't used CWM. Now i am affraid that i could have bad EMMC. Should i stay on ICS or should i flash stock GB rom again?

I had answered your question thru email. Stick with your current ICS rom will be the best option and choices. Since I do believe no one at the forum able to give you 100% accurately exactly what happen with your emmc. Just enjoy your ics.
Please don't simply flash any gb rooted kernel so that able use the cwm again and go back to gb. Please read the instruction carefully.
PERSONNAL OPINION: I'm always prefer flash stock or pre rooted gb rom thru pc odin beside flash axxx4.2kernel to perform full wipe.
Good luck bro..

I am on stock LPY unrooted and came to LPY from GB LC2 unrooted as well.....but if memory serves then i remember that just after updating to LPY i had gone into recovery mode (stock recovery mode) and cleared the cache....does i mean that i stand a chance for the eMMC issue and that i shudn't be going back to GB unrooted LC2 and wait for the devs to fix this?

Well according to the devs here you should be good. But noone can guarantee you are 100%. I decided to wait till the issue gets resolved even though i haven't used recovery at all. I am taking my chances on ICS. But again staying on ICS isn't safe either I am quoting CHainfire here..

Ok so it still isn't really clear if the problem is still present in LPY, or if the issue is "left-over" due to previous ROMs.
It's all possible. Either way, what I wan't to make absolutely clear again:
If the problem is present in CF-Root LPY (and it's not a "leftover" problem from previous ROM - this is possibly the case), then it's also present in stock LPY. This means you *can* randomly brick your phone even if fully booted into Android, under heavy I/O load.
(on the Note there normal and recovery kernels are the same, and CWM is just a userspace program, nothing special(!) - so if the problem can happen in CWM, it can happen in Android)"
So whichever choice you make... good luck.

Yup, is true. Beside you need to stay away from cwm, you should be aware when doing the large file transfer.
Stick with Lpy, do not touch cwm at all, try to avoid do any large files transfer.
Relax bro...u should be fine...just follow what the instruction given by the dev. Since no one really know exactly what happen.

You need to be on GB in order to flash CM9.
Now, if you had a nandroid backup of a GB ROM, and then flashed CM9, then yes you could restore the GB ROM from your nandroid backup.

Last question, if I do the flash to GB from mobile Odin and the GB rom isn't rooted, pure stock. Will I exposed myself to any problem or it's safer to do the flash with Odin PC ?

Lol make sure stock is for your csc region.
Most stock are nonwipe, and so you will have to do factory reset and wipe caches from restore.
Cleanest is go to recovery, and factory reset, and wipe cache, and dalvik cache, and then in mounts format data and system. After this head into download mode and pc Odin your rom on it. But if you get a little perform a repartitions to when flashing. You will lose data this way.. All at your own risk
edit: do cleanest from gb or a safe kernel only.

see, if your phone was bought unlocked from Malaysia then you can flash any Malaysia stock rom using odin, no matter what rom/BB you are currently on (stock or custom) but I always suggest flashing stock GB firmwares as you can wipe them in stock recovery if required immediately after flashing through odin.
So now, if your phone was bought in Malaysia then download any of the 2 Malaysia GB firmware from post #2 in the link I gave you and flash using odin or mobile odin as per the instructions given in that thread.

If you are on cm rom then flash gb first. If on stock gb then wipe and flash stock ics using odin.
If you choose to flash ics over cm and if it stuck in bootloop then you wont be able to wipe in recovery because of emmc bug, so gb is best.
Stock GB rom from your region will most probably allow you to update to ics using kies, or else you can flash via odin later.

Bricked..

Hi,
I installed Jellybeer rom, and then the hydracore kernel..
Then i got the samsung note screen but nothing else..
I then followed another tut to revive it..
I flashed an odin rom (GB) but now it bootloops..
Anny suggestions?

yes.. boot into recovery and do a data factory reset and then restart

Thx!
Now i'm flashing a pre rooted GB rom with odin..
Then just go in CMW & flash an ICS rom?
Or first flash a safe kernel?

Gb has safe kernel, so get rooted, then use mobile odin to flash ics retaining root, then you'll need to flash a safe kernel once on ics such as hydracore or philz

You didn't get bricked at all, you just flashed an incompatible kernel on JellyBeer Rom. HC uses different Mali from Jelly.
All you had to do at that point was to reflash JellyBeer and reboot, and all would be well.

[Q] Note Stock restore

Hello, I'm currently using a G Note on [email protected] ICS, Build Number IMM76D.XXLRK.
I'm thinking about updating to the JB leak for The G Note but im worried about bricking my phone can anyone tell me what the chance of it bricking is? and how id go about changing my firmware from this rom?
Thankyou.

Flash Philz kernel.
Full wipe and flash whichever ROM you want.....
Also, use search as this question has been asked many times in the past

If you have speedmod kernel the chance of bricking its 0... And if you want the ODIN official JB leak just go Odin mode power+home+volume down then flash.. You don't need to wipe going from Ics to JB TW

So its just a case of finding the JB leak i want then, putting it on SD card and flashing using mobile ODIN?

No, you should allways follow the installation instructions in the specific thread for the JB Custom Rom you want.
If you choose the XXLSA leak from sammobile.com (that was the base leak for all following XXLSA/C Custom Roms) then you can use Mobile Odin - I did this many times without problems.

Ok thankyou I already have ODIN on my phone. Is it safer too use the PC Odin?

Mobile odin and pc odin is similar.
The only different from what I know is.... with mobile odin you can keep ur root, and flash custom kernel.
Whereby with pc odin, all will be brand new. No root, stock kernel.
If ur device is rooted alrd, and u have cwm recovery installed, why don't u choose custom rom, and just flash it from cwm recovery?
Easier, fast, no headache.
Custom rom has some tweaks that might improve performance.
But choice is urs. Good luck mate.

I prefer Mobile odin if already rooted as this way we can change the kernel at the time of flash to be safe
