[Q] How to downgrade from official ICS to GB safely

Hello guys
Since warnings about N7000XXLPY ICS kernel risks of hardbrick galaxy note i suppose that's a lot of people like me who installed last ICS 4.0.3 want to go back to GB but are affraid to do it to avoid geting theire Note dead.
I asked the question but no answer i just found this video explaining how to do it ,The problem is that it is a downgrade from an UNOFICIAL ICS rom to GB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc&feature=plcp
STEPS : 1- go to recovery mode ( even it's not recommended to do anything with cwm with lpy kernel )
2- flash abyss kernel 4.2 final (browse zip )
3- reboot recovery
4- Wipe all- reset factory
5- always in cwm, browse GB rom and flash it
6- Reboot system
My question is : can we use the same way to go back to gb from official stock ics 4.0.3 SAFELY ? We have not many times to do it, may be we have one chance to do it right or we get the galaxy note bricked so plz any help will be appreciated .
Thanks

I have restored stock GB from stock German ICS twice with PC Odin. I had flashed the ICS ROM through mobile odin over a rooted stock GB ROM. I just flashed the ROM and NOT the LPY kernel. Had neither the root nor CWM.
I simply used PC Odin to downgrade without no problems.

How good is LPF as a ROM? I suppose you have some problems with it if you want to go back to GB? What kind of issues you have with LPF?

If you have GB nandroid backup ;
1. reboot to recovery and flash Abyss42 kernel.
if you got "signature failed' (like me) , flash CWM.zip provide by dr.ketan then flash Abyss42 kernel again.
2. wipe cache & dalvick then wipe data/reset
3. restore your nandroid GB backup.
I did it yesterday without any problem to revert back to GB.

Help on getting back to stock GB from other ROM and kernel

Hey guys I want to go back to stock GB rom and stock kernel.
I am currently on Rocket v20 ROM and AbyssNOTE kernel.
The guide in the sticky only tells about how to go back to stock rom but nothing on getting back to stock kernel, I am confused as to if I will flash back to stock GB would it also change my kernel to stock or do I have to do it separately?

Once you flash a stock rom via Odin it already has the stock kernel for that rom in the installation script so just download the stock rom you want and flash via Odin
Make life easyer if you are wanting to root again choose a directly root able gb rom ie kk9

Since you are on an ICS ROM, just ensure that your kernel is safe. I would suggest as you rightly said to revert back to GB & then flash an ICS ROM. You can use pC Odin for the same. You only need to follow Dr. Ketan's Guide for the same. Just check his signature for the link. Dont forget to Thank him.

What kernel do you have? by the way there is official JB now
You can use PC odin to install ICS stock.. but will beed wipes before that so make sure you have safe kernel ..

I have philz kernel. So can i just flash stock ICS rom over jb rom?

if you have philz kernel.. first boot into recovery and .. then Philz settings > clean before new rom install...
once done.. choose advanced and reboot download
this will put the phone in download mode.. connect to pc and flash rom using odin

Ok thanks i will try

Ok.. by the way there is official JB now.. why you going to ICS?

Maybe I'm or i just I don't know something but you say I can just flash official firmware over leaked version yes?

yes. but its recommended to perform wipes
