Sorry for asking this late but I was out of internet access for the last couple of weeks. Just a question when updating to ics though. Do I need to revert to stock rom or can i update via a custom rom?

Check dr.ketans thread in the stickies for installing stock roms.
It depends if you're currently on ics repack or dangerous kernel. If you're on lpf or lpy, or other later India kernel, it's safest to flash a GB kernel, before flashing a full ROM.
Any big writes to any of above kernels will cause fatal damage, whether instantly or not.
there's also a great thread by chasmodo on the topic of ics upgrades/downgrades.
Wish you well.

Hi guys I want know, is lp8 is completely safe or not is any problem or bug still there
Is it is better than lpf
If its better than what's the safe way of going from lpf to lp8
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Both of them are not safe
You're better of reverting to Gingerbread using PC Odin and then wait couple of days till safe custom kernels surface seeing the ICS sources have dropped recently
Franco already stated he's testing a new ICS kernel, am waiting for it right now too
Hi Guys,
I'm on stock rooted ICS LPY with Franco #3 ICS kernel.I would need your guidance on how to install CWM recovery.thanks!

Hi Guys,I was quite surprise that cwm recovery is already installed.can someone enlighten me?I was previously using Motorola Atrix and it was different.just hope to understand more on SGN.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Kernels nearly always contain CWM Recovery, so when you flash a kernel, you get the CWMR as well.
Thanks for your reply!you have really brighten my knowledge on SGN.

are kernels ICS and/or GB compatible only or can we flash any kernel on any rom ?
"are kernels ICS and/or GB compatible only or can we flash any kernel on any rom ? "
Nope. ICS kernels only work on ICS roms and vice versa for GB kernels.
Hello forum, well the wife at the moment is on gingerbread, but she was on ics which i put back to gb using pc odin..
We also have the thing with brickbug too
We want to go to a ics custom rom instead of ics stock we had originally....
Are all ics kernals with the bug or is it just stock kernal???
Correct way to clear old stuff on phone? I did clear phone using mount/storage area (was this okay???)
Thank you for any help!!!

It's only the stock kernel which has this brick bug, if you flash a safe kernel you will be fine and can safely do a full wipe.
I would recommend trying cleanote rom and kernel its very smooth and fast and stable and is close to stock.
Start by upgrading to ics again and then flashing speedmod kernel in odin

Eventhough the brick bug scripts are disabled in many kernels it would be preferably safe to always flash abyss kernel 4.2 before a wipe. You have nothing to lose spending a few minutes more. So time to time before switching between roms and doing wipes think and re-think. be safe. :angel:
I find here this emmc bug is killing everyone.
I bought this GN just 2 weeks ago.at begining it came with GB installed.i recieved ota update in the same day for ics.so i did it.
After updating i did factory reset the device without knowing that there is a danger to damage the device.
Then i tried to root and installed some other kernels with cwr, which was another mistake.and finally flash it again with stock rom.but this time no wipe!
So the phone is not in clean state.
I read that one way to avoide damaging the device is to flash it with GB rom and then wipe then flash it again with ics one.all by pc odin.
But my problem is i cant find the original GB Rom to do it.
Is it important to flash with original or i can do it with any stock GB rom?
And is there any kernel based on stock kernel which has no mod no tweak and stuff but safe to wipe?i mean with mmc earase disabled.

Here's the link where you can find stock GB (Courtesy of doc Ketan) ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 Find your Stock ROM (based on your region)
Let me clear out some wrong notions spreading before.... you can safely WIPE your phone even on ICS as long as you have installed a safe kernel on to your device. You don't necessarily need to go to STOCK GB and do the wipe from there. It is already safe WIPING your phone on ICS just as long as you have the safe kernel installed on your phone.
Safe kernels to mentioned are SpeedMod, HardCore (that is if your in ICS), AbyssNote (if your still on stock GB)
Again no stock GB rom from my country.funny i went to samfirmware before and nothing there also.but for other region there are many!
Current ROM is N7000XXLRI
Which is the only FW from my region.

If you can't find any stock GB from your region then don't fret , Download a direct rootable ROM closest to your region and flash it from there. Remember, your goal is not to say long in GB right? so after you've downloaded a direct rootable GB ROM.. Download back your stock ICS ROM thru PC Odin, ROOT it thru Doc Ketan's thread still and then do a FACTORY wipe after.
P.S. Don't worry about the triangle mark on your boot up screen. You can safely remove that thru ChainFire's TriangleAway app (when your rooted already)
I'll try this.
After all, what do you suggest as a daily driver rom or kernel on GN which is safe and stable to flashing wiping and stuff?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'm using stock LRQ (for now), but I've cooked it and made some big modifications to the ROM itself and now everything's working and my phone ''flies'
For the kernel.. SpeedMod is my truly one option... Stability and battery performance... It never fails on me still.... Any cooked ROMs I'm making or flashing one from our good ROM cookers here on this forum.. This kernel is still my best bet... but hey... this just me okay... if you want other safe kernels out there, feel free to try them out... it's your choice anyway...

Hydracore can be used on all ICS and JB roms (TW, CM and AOKP) another is Speedmod for TW ICS roms, these two are safe and can be used as per your rom. Most of the roms are stable now, it totally depends on you, which one suits your requirements
Edit- letters_to_cleo your invisible status always confuse me, lol.
Thanks everyone for replys and help.
Very useful for me. Ofcource boring for you guys.....

hi guys. i have some questions. i was thinking about flashing paranoidandroid rom, JB version. i think of flashing cm9 first. here's the first question, how do i flash it? can i flash it from custom sammy firmware, rocketrom v12 with hydracore? or do i have to downgrade to gb and then flash it?
also, what's the difference between imilka's and utacka's versions of paranoidandroid?
As long as you are on a safe kernel like hydracore there shouldn't be a problem.
Utacka's version is updated daily with the latest cm10 merges.

I answered this in the PA thread you posted, just copied and pasted?
But its good, rather here than in rom threads
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium app
To flash a jb rom,its not required to flash cm9
If you are on any ics rom,simply flash hydracore kernel and then flash jb rom through cwm
Utacka provides latest nightlies while imilka provides only stable versions
