[Q] LPF & LPY Kernels for ICS

I thought I read that installing the LPY Kernel you might risk not being able to reinstall another ROM if you want to change back.
Is the LPF safer, or is there still an issue with it, also? Did I misread that warning about the LPY kernel?
Thanks!

You are able to revert to GB from both those kernels/Roms. However,
they are not safe. There's been reports of superbricks on both those
versions.
The only safe things for now are
1. Gingerbread Roms
2. CM9-based ICS Roms (official Xplod's CM9, Asylum, Paranoid and MIUI).
However, CM9 Roms don't have TW framework and some of the TW apps
are not included.

A question from a Samsung beginner. What does LPY and LPF mean ?
Thank you

[Q] is is possible to downgrade via pc odin after ics ota official install?

from 4.0.3 to 2.3.6??

Yes, but after you need to do factory reset and wipe cache in order to eliminate leftover stuff as most gb are nonwipe.
You can do this from recovery.

u mean factory reset after flashing? (sory if noob ques)
nd if i root official ics stock ? vl i loose data

Thats ok, I had some unclear typos.
Best to flash GB and do all the factory resetting and wiping from there. Cause ICS is not save to do that.

Doing a factory reset in ics could trigger the emmc bug and brick your note. I strongly recommend to read carefully some threads about this.

so tht means even if i hv a rom based on ics eg. alliamce rom thera a chance of bricking while factory reset? (sorie if noob question)

AllianceRom is testing every bit to see if they cause hardbrick/superbrick.They release roms only if they are safe .I have been using darkyrom a.k.a alliance rom from my sgs days

Read all the threads very carefully in order to choose the right method of returning to GB. It is very important to know exactly what is currently running on your device and what was running before and how you flashed the last rom.
I bricked mine two weeks ago while doing this....coming from official ICS. After a full wipe it was over and out.

I think the safest method to going back if anything not works properly is:
1. Going back to GB:
Flash thru pc odin ** Look for the thread: STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs and Flash: 3*Files Wipe N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1 Open Europe (02/03/2012). (here you will be fine all OK in 2.3.6)
then look for the thread of dr. ketan to get more info on how to install: [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LP9 T
After that:
2. Install ics N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5 via mobile odin
3. reboot
4. flash kernel cf-root lpy via mobile odin
5. wipe cache and dalvyk cache..... Let reboot.
YOU'RE NOW IN STOCK ROM ICS FULL ROOTED AND CWM.

r thr ny chances of th ics bug being sirted out in near future?
is thr ny ics rom or vl thr b in th near future which dosent require abyss kernel or cf root kernel?

It will most like need a mmc chip firmware update, not sure if they can do that in a new rom or if at all.
Last news I read was this was already there on the first ICS device, the Nexus, Samsung updated the onboard chips firmware. (source hearsay, I think reliable)
Why samsung would choose to market defective firmware on newer phones is a mystery. Makes the hearsay less likely, but from the crap I have seen in any industry, its not that amazing this happens mwahahahah

[Q] Going from LQ3 + Speedmod to ParanoidAndroid

Hi all,
I am on LQ3 with Speedmod K3 Kernel and root.
If I want to try out ParanoidAndroid, is it possible to flash a CM9 kernel (like T**r) via CWM, then flash PA (and then wipe both caches and full reset)?
Or, do I still need to flash a GB rom and kernel and then flash PA?
I think the reason for flashing to GB is because CWM is not safe on the stock ICS kernel, but since I'm on Speedmod, that isn't a problem for me.
Or, is there another reason you need to go back to GB?
thanks,
Rich.

Once you go paranoid uts a straight trip to the asylum lmao

The Devs post those instructions for a reason dude.They have tested the methods and only then posted those instructions.If there is a shorter way,they would have surely posted that instead of the longer roundabout way.Also, I think there was a post somewhere mentioning not to go to the CM9 kernel straight from LQ3....but I've forgotten where it was/is .
Best way is to go back to GB and then flash PA---15 minutes extra vs risking bricking your phone----you do the math

Flashing a custom rom on International Note

Hi guys,
I was a bit confused about flashing and many questions stormed my mind.
Ok my current situation is like this --> I have a rooted galaxy note.
I am on stock ICS 4.0.4
I have kingdroid v3.0 and cynogenmod 9 with me.
I know basics of flashing and will be able to flash them.
My question is that,
Is kingdroid rom safe from the emmc chip bug?
Which method is safer- flashing through ext storage or through odin?
If kingdroid is unsafe, then is it really worth flashing CM9?
Thank you in advance.

Kingdroid is based on CM/AOSP right ?
In order to flash that you need to be on GingerBread, GB is safe from the emmc bug so you wont have any issues.
flashing through CWM or ODIN are at the same safe / risk level, Theres a chance you can brick your phone using either.
However, You will only get the brickbug if you are on a Stock ICS kernel, You shouldnt encounter this as you will be flashing from GB.
Just follow the instructions on the ROM thread and you will be fine.

I agree with the azzle.
Steps:
-Dowgrade to GB
-Flash the abyss kernel [which will also "install" CWM]
-Wipe and flash a rom...
-\0/
I dont know anything bout this Kingstuff, but CM9 is great, or paranoid rom if you want the tablet/hybrid mode stuff.

Thank you guys...that was helpful...as the CM9 dev has said that it may contain lots of bugs i m thinking of some other rom....the thing i wanted kingdroid for is its SGS 3 apps and live wallpapers!! Anyone has any suggestions for any good roms...i want a good interface and a kernal which supports OCing.

Best JB rom + how do you get there from stock ICS?

Hi,
I'm currently on stock ICS (4.0.4).
My phone has recently started occasionally/randomly restarting itself.
I've read that doing a factory reset or data wipe will result in a brick so was thinking of switching to a custom rom.
What's the best Jelly Bean rom? or isn't there a good stable one?
If not then what's the best stable/usable ICS rom and how do I get there from stock?
I know I need to flash GB via pc odin, but what after that?
There are warnings that say "FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
I just wanna be as clear as possible. Would hate to have a brick.
Thanks.

JB roms are still in development and not so stable for daily use yet. For flashing custom ICS you do not have to flash GB rom, just flash safe custom ICS kernel and flash custom rom through cwm recovery.
You can also wipe your current rom after flashing safe custom kernel. No need to flash custom rom just because you cannot wipe on stock kernel

For my personal of view, liquid smooth jb v2.0 beta is the best at the moment.
If you on rooted ics. You can flash jb rom thru safe kernel such as cm9 kernel, gb kernel or notecore kernel.
But please read carefully and understand what noted at op and follow the installation method.
Good luck.

Never Never Wipe on ICS as stated in op.
Now everybody knows JB is still under development and in preview. So I think you should have to wait for a stable version to enjoy the juice
For ICS you can try Cleanote v5,Kingdroid or RR for better performance and battery life
Here are the links :-

Here is the best thread for rooting and flashing custom kernel on Note- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Once you are rooted and on safe custom kernel you can follow the instructions on your chosen custom rom OP.

In terms of safer installation method. It have too many of opinions around note forum. Some will say flash any rom or nandroid by using abssy 4.2 kernel, some will say not neccesary to use abssy 4.2 kernel with the secure and safe kernel exists such as notecore and speedmod kernel.
Some will advice you must go back gb before flash cm base rom and some will tell you totally bull**** and not neccesary to go back gb before flash cm base rom with secure tw kernel around.
Confuse? For me, all of them have the right opinion and nothing wrong with them. Thats your own smartphone which cost about usd 500. If you scare of something, just follow the long installation method. If you feel lazy to take do such of long intallation step, you can always use the secure kernel to swap in between gb, tw and cm base rom.
But anyway, is your own asset, your own choice. You are the one who will take full responsibility for doing any modification, rooting and flashing. Not anyone else here.
You can always refer dr.ketan advice.
