I am a noob..i am on chinese leak i.e i9220 .i flashed lp1 repack.so i am under the emmc bug
I want to go back to GB.the guide says you have to flash abyss kernel first and then perform all three wipe from the redpill recovery..i wanted to ask that if i wipe from redpill will the emmc bug will be triggered or it is just on cwm and stock recovery..in simple words will the emmc be damaged if i wipe using redpill recovery?
Thank u in advance
should be safe if you are on redpill recovery. i have done it several times, and others did too. just make sure you are on redpill by rebooting to recovery AFTER you flashed the kernel. (advanced>reboot recovery).
to be safer, get a wipe stock GB rom and do it via pc odin.
thank u very much ..

Hi,
This may be a noobish question, but if I want to experiment with the new ICS builds, will I be able to simply restore a nandroid to revert to the way I had it before on GB?

Yes you can. Here are the detailed steps for reverting to GB from ICS.
--Download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel with redpill touch recovery Or Abyss 3.9 Kernel (for some users where the 4.2 kernel haven't worked 3.9 worked perfect)from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424 .
--Now first put this zip on your SD Card before you try to flash anything or restore anything.
--Now boot into recovery - Volume up + Home + Power
--Choose - install zip from SD Card
--Navigate to your Abyss kernel 4.2 or 3.9 zip and flash it
--After flashing is complete- go back to the Recovery start menu
--Go to advanced > reboot recovery
--This will reboot the phone directly to new recovery - Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery
--Now go to Wipe Menu and wipe cache, dalvik and do your factory reset
--After this start your restore from nandroid backup , or flash any GB rom !
Cheers!! Enjoy your Note!

Hi abhi...
I heard that if you're coming from ICS Stunner to Nandroid or Flashed GB Rom, you should downgrade to AbyssNote 3.9 Kernel instead.
Have you experienced such a thing?

Stick to Abyss 4.2!! tried and tested numerous times!!
However once kernel is flashed make sure to reboot the recovery from the kernel, it will reboot into the newly flashed kernel and then try to restore your nandroid.
Just follow what Abhi said and it will be a smooth ride for you mate!!
Hi,
I have very limited experience with my brand new SG note.
Just a few quick questions:
1. I currently have midteam 1.1 installed.
2. If I create a cwm/rom manager backup of the current rom, can I reboot to cwm recovery and simply restore (which I did with lots of struggles.
Restoring after removing sim card worked eventually and that may have nothing to do with restore; but it worked!)?
Would Abyss 4.2 in place have made the recovery smoother?
Or
It is required only if I want to go back to GB again?
3. Can I flash Abyss on top of my current ICS, regardless?
I hope I have put my question properly.
cheers
The only ,I repeat the only safe ICS ROM is cm9 official ,if you install that then you can restore your GB nandroid backup normally from CWM
But with any other ICS ROM you'll have a high chance of bricking if you so a restore or flash from CWM .the reason being is the leaked kernel which is being used in said ROMs have a faulty erasing script and may cause a corrupted nand drive ,thus a permanent brick
Read the public service announcement sticky first before flashing anything.
Hello all,
I recently upgrade (for my first time) to ICS ROM with ABYSS Kernel,
but of course before my upgrade i backup my phone - Nandroid backup.
My question is:
can i restore my Nandroid image and all my Data, ROM and Kernel will be restore??
Thanks in advance,
Bar
Do NOT restore a nandroid backup with CWM on any of the stock ICS roms. You will need to flash the Abyss kernel to restore a nandroid.
What is the nandroid backup of? Like which rom?
The Nandroid backup i have is from my GB stock ROM,
can i go and restore form it?
Yes but first you must flash abyss kernel. Reboot into abysskernels cwm then you can restore the backup.
I already have Abyss kernel installed, is there another Abyss version for gingerbread?
my current Abyss version is: AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip

That's the right version. However, Abyss is just for Gingerbread and restoring nandroids. So, you couldn't have been booting ICS with Abyss because it wouldn't boot up, at least not correctly.
But yeah, if you don't have it flashed, flash Abyss, reboot recovery, and restore nandroid.
Thanks andreww88,
Before my upgrade to ICS i went through the below link instruction:
1. install Abyss Kernel
2. reboot into it
3. wipe data
4. install rom
Link:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v2-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/
please give last green light that i can go and restore Nandroid if i have Abyss ver 4.2 already installed on my GNote N7000?
Have you installed abyss again after ics?
Hi Belfia,
This is my problem, i failed install kernel.
after i installed Abyss and KingDroid ROM all went well, till i reboot into recovery via Rom Manager...
what can i do to go back to gingerbread? (i am afraid from bricking my device...)

Now, I understand you. Any time you flash a rom it will install the kernel that goes with it. So you flashed stock ICS so you have the stock ICS kernel (so do NOT wipe data and do not restore nandroid). Reboot into recovery. You need to flash the abyss kernel again in CWM. Then, you need to "Reboot Recovery". It should be in Abyss now. Now, you can do restore nandroid.
i think i was not clear enough, i will explain again:
After i installed Abyss and KingDroid ROM all went well, till i reboot into recovery via Rom Manager...
Now when i try to install Abyss Kernel again it's failed, it is stuck on "Installing Update..." (see screenshot attached).
what can i do to go back to gingerbread without bricking my device?
Thanks you all
OK - don't reboot after you install Abyss Kernel
After you install zip - choose Advanced > Reboot into recovery.
Don't reboot after install Abyss - it is likely a bootloader problem. Check out the video on first page and you will see that what I mean.

The GN I bought recently was already rooted with official UK ICS and Franco kernal on it.
Without me trying to flash or do anything, a simple reboot now won't boot past the Samsung logo.
I've reflashed the UK official ICS rom in Odin, but that did not solve the problem.
I thought I'd try to flash the Franco kernal, but I think I need to put it on to an SDcard and flash via recovery.
The problem is, I don't have an SDcard.
So can a kernal be flashed via Odin? (Do you even think this is worth trying?)
You can only flash a kernel.tar via odin. If it is kernel.zip you have to flash it using CWM.
If you can get into CWM you can mount usb storage to PC and copy file to it.
Sometime CWM see sdcard as internal sdcard so you need to check both.

You cannot flash any kernel through Recovery, because you are unrooted after flashing a stock ICS Rom.
However, you could flash a custom ICS kernel via PC Odin (CF-Root or Speedmod tar). You will get the triangle, but that is easily removed by using new Triangle Away.
OK, I flashed Speedmod, and now I have the warning triangle (Dont care!), and I can get into CWM recovery.
It's still not booting past the Samsung logo. Is it now safe to wipe data/Factory reset?
OK, thanks for your help, guys!!
I'm now unstuck.
(A wipe data/Factory reset from CWM fixed)
You did a factory wipe from ICS kernel ......

Using franco kernal / CWM
I read in the franco kernal thread that is was safe to do so. is this not the case? It seems OK, but have I actually damaged something?
I tried REALLY hard not to screw this up.
hey
im currently running rooted ICS 4.0.3 XXLQ2 that i rooted with the CF-Root kernal.
My question is, is there an Abyss kernal that i can flash over that with ODIN so i can use it instead?i hear that abyss is safer than CF and you can actually install custom ROMs from it. Also, I'd usually find this info myself but everything i can find about it is a bit confused so i would like a simple yes or no answer
Cheers
Abyss is a GB kernel. DO NOT use it on ICS!
Abyss Note kernel is not compatible with ICS.
ah right OK, some folk are saying that it was compatible with ICS, so I take it my best bet for using custom ROMs would be to flash back to stock GB then flash Abyss, yeah?
EDIt: i meant to say, are there any safe custom kernals out yet for ICS that are ROM flashable and wipe-safe?
"ROM flashable and wipe-safe?"
???
once you have a rooted rom with a custom recovery like CWM then you can flash most kernels. Some kernels arn't compatable with some roms but the thread will usauly indicate which roms work best with the kernel.
I most cases when you are flashing a new ics rom it is not safe to do a full wipe.
I have just upgraded to rocket rom v6 i did not full wipe when flashing but once the rom was up and running i just go back to cwn and do a full wipe, seems to work for me.
Hope this gives you some info on the matter.

what i meant by wipe safe and rom flashable is that im not gonna brick the phone by doing a factory data wipe or by flashing a custom rom, from what i have read if you flash from pretty much any ICS kernal to a custom rom its an insta-brick
You had the right idea at first. Some ics kernels (eg Franco, cf and speedmod) are probably safe to wipe with. I say probably because they have had the emmc wipe command removed.
But to be guaranteed, reboot into cwm (assuming you are already rooted) then flash abyss 4.2 GB. I use the red version so I can be sure I am flashing from GB.
Then reboot to recovery. Do not reboot the phone - it will not work - but it will happily boot to recovery. You are now in GB recovery and can wipe with no risk of brick bug at all. Flash any cwm flashable rom. Just make sure you had copied it to your SD card before you started this process!!!

I have N7000 with ICS (4.0.3) and XXLQ2 firmware. I have flashed chainfire's CF-Root kernel. BUT I want to completely reset/wipe the phone to its pristine condition. I have checked 'got brickbug' and i have got the brick bug. so what am i supposed to do? If I wait, will this bug be resolved by Samsung in an upgrade to ICS, or should I go 'back' to GB (if so, how), or can I ignore the brick bug thing and get on with it?
So you don’t want the Odin back to GB. Well then you have the Abyss Note 4.2 Kernel with Redpill Touch recovery. You are on any unsafe kernel ICS Rom and you want to go to safe rom then do one last CWM flash of Abyss kernel reboot recovery and then flash the safe roms. This keeps your root intact. You can even acieve root though this if you have lost it. Just flash Abyss 4.2 go to GB. Check root there and then flash the ICS rom. No need of repack. If any of this gets struck or brick then you know your way out already…..you told that in the question. Link for Abyss 4.2 Kernel is here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424 --Download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel with redpill touch recovery Or Abyss 3.9 Kernel (for some users where the 4.2 kernel haven't worked 3.9 worked perfect).
