Hi guys,
I have just installed Rocket Rom ICS v4.1 and have found myself in a bootloop. I can boot into recovery but i'm really worried about bricking my phone.
I have tried reflashing the abyss kernal v4.2 but it freezes on install before restarting after about 5 minutes.
I have a nanoid backup of my GB phone but as I understand it you need abyss to restore to this safely.
What would you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance for any help
Regards

You can get into recovery but you cannot reflash abyss kernel. If this is the case you can use pc odin to flash abyss. You can download the tar file from:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
You can then restore your backup once you are on abyss recovery.
It would be safer if you use pc odin to flash a GB rom.

Thanks fro the speedy response
let me just check I understand you correctly (I am new to this). I think I would rather just go back to my working GB rom. So if I just follow the guide listed in to flash the kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and choose the N7000XXKKA English kernel, once flashed I can just restore my nanoid backup. This means I will not need the abyss kernel either?
Again thanks for the help, its greatly appreciated.

Yes, if you choose to go that route to go back to your GB rom you will not need abyss.
Thanks i'll let you know how it goes
Thanks for all the help, my phone is now working and restored back to GB.
I ended up using pc odin to flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel and then doing a restore
Again thanks for all the help I was really worried then I'd ruined my phone.
is there a way of marking the thread as solved now?

I've searched the entire forum and Google as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24656901 should provide the best explanation on how to revert back to GB.
However, in that thread, he mentioned that I need to flash abyss 4.0+ kernel first before restoring the backup. How about if the backup file is corrupted for some reason, are there any alternatives to revert back?
Also, if my phone was bricked one day(assume I can enter downloadmode but not CWM, which means I can't flash the abyss 4.0+ kernel), can I use the USB jig and flash the ics leak according to Dr Ketan's guide?

Yes. Download any custom GB rom to your PC (Darky, Cassie's XL, whatever), pull your SD card out, slot it in SD Card reader, transfer the GB rom from your PC to your SD card. Put the card back into your phone.
Boot into CWMR, flash Abyss, reload Recovery to get the Redpill one.
Do your wipes (data, cache, dalvik).
Tap 'install zip from SD card', navigate to your GB rom, and flash.
Reboot when the flash is done.
Pour yourself a stiff drink.

I wouldn't recommend that. I'd flash a rootable stock Rom via PC Odin, root it, flash the 1st ICS repack and flash the ICS rom of your choice. It's safer this way.

However in that situation I got a bricked phone with other kernel not Abyss Kernel.
People just emphasize flashing Abyss Kernel b4 reverting to GB, is that really viable to flash stock GB rom via pc odin?

If soft bricked (you can just reach the Download mode, not the Recovery), flashing Abyss is out, because you have no recovery to flash it from.
The only way to get yourself out of the sticky situation without triggering the binary counter and getting the triangle is the PC Odin and stock Rom. That way your binary counter stays at NO (meaning 0).
Can someone write a proper guide how to revert back from ICS to GB with CF kernel and without CF kernel?
Thanks

Prior to flashing GB, donot wipe data using stock or cwm recovery on ICS.
Do not use touch recovery to flash GB rom.
Do not restore GB backup from ICS.
Flash GB firmware with PC odin.
If you are stuck in bootloop or there are FCs after flashing GB, don't panic, just wipe data/factory.

Hello guys.
The very same thing like to OP happened to me today in the morning. After reading the warning about ICS bugs I decided to revert to GB through PC Odin. And the result is same .... stuck in factoryfs.img and not able to access recovery ...just download mode. Unfortunately I stopped reading at page 7 or so ..... need to leave the computer right now. If there are any thoughts to help us, please reply .... thanks in advance.
P.S. It looks like MoBo replacement is required, right?

Do not flash Abyss to wipe, it's not completely safe. Just use PC Odin to flash a GB Rom (pre-rooted or stock).

stuck in Samsung logo just mean you need to just fullwipe factory in CMW. but be sure you are on safe kernel such as Speedmode or Hydracore before wiping.. i dont know if xxls2 kernel is brick free or not. but stucking at samsung logo has always been solved by fullwipe factory in my case

It takes some time to boot up after you flash a rom..just wait for few minutes and see if it boots up
And how did you flash the rom..i mean what rom,kernel and did you do the wipes

that is correct. takes times. but if you waited more than 10 minutes try flashing other rom.. safest method is pc odin.

tell us how you flash it. via PC ODIN or ClockWorkMOD.?
as for the kernel if you have Extrnal sdcard then download SpeedMod 3-15 or Hydracore kernel than put that in your external Sdcard. Open CMW than flash the kernel then go to advance>reboot recovery.. wait for recovery rebooted than you are safe to flash other rom.

since you flash through PC ODIN means everything is stocked. Means the brick bug is present. you now only have samsung stock recovery and not ClockWorkMod.
if you are planning to install just Samsung Stock Rom then this step is applicable here

or

if you are planning install xxls2 custom then you must first root your phone then install CMW and Flash Desired rom with safe kernel installed

From where did you download the rom..it it was downloaded from sammobile or from that hotfile link,then you should flash it through pc odin
And if its a custom rom that you downloaded from the xda,then it should be flashed through cwm
the Sam mobile and the hot link are the same. youncan flash the rom using pc odin. but before that put the philz kernel xxls2 in the external sd. so that after the flash using odin, you can boot into recovery and flash that kernel and be safe and do the wipe.

Yes i know..i said that just to make it clear for the op
Gents, Can you please clarify before I am going to do below. And advise if this is the proper way.
• Flash GB (2.3.6) and wipe
• Then flash ICS (4.0.4)
• Download Notecore (or Speedmod, CF root kernel) kernel and flash by PC-Odin
• Then copy N7000XXLS2 (LEAK) to SD card.
• Boot to CWM recovery, then flash from SD, restart.
Thanks.

I would like to know if the first link is safe for me, and which ROM I should use of the ones listed there (I live in The Netherlands).

that 1st link is the safest and best.
download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....
Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.
If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.
theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM
Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software
Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.
every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug
theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....

So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?
If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?

yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.
yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....
If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....
1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.
first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...
what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.
2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..
if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.
but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom
