Its basically the same concept of formatting a hard drive on your PC.
It wipes your phone's storage first before installing the new fw. Some just like gaving a "clean slate" before using a new rom...

Repartition is supposedly going to wipe all data on your phone, but it's also a death button that makes you ODIN freeze and making your phone not boot up

It repartitions your filesystem. Lets say you installed CM which uses ext4, then it will re-partition it back to RFS (stock default).
so when you using stock rom you haven't to select re partition but when using custom rom with different system layout and wanna go back to stock rom you should select re-partition

how to downgrade sgn from 4.0.4 to 2.3.6

Hi,I hav just updraded my sgn from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and m in India.First, I thought there would be a solution in 4.0.4 for battery drainage....but of no use.
Now I want to downgrade my sgn to 2.3.6(N7000DDLLC1) which is provided by sammobile.com and i hope that is official gb for indian sgn.
1. Please tell me hot to downgrade safely to 2.3.6 using clean installation.Actually, I have eMMc bug in sgn,so I can't wipe or format it.(MOST IMPORTANT)
So guys,please help me in doing this soon.thanks in advance......

Get the firmware from the original dev forum. Reboot phone in dowload mode. Open odin connect the phone and select the tree files from the firmware then pres GO. Its better to pick an allready rooted version of GB. Then you are all set.

Follow dr.Ketan's guide. They have clear instructions to downgrade.
Per the best I can remember
1. Download and install a safe karnal like Abyss.
2.Reboot to recovery.
3.Now wipe all
4.Then instal stock GB ROM

Again. Read multiple times and ask more people before you proceed

Second i have eMMc bug in my phone,so i cnt wipe it or format i think.and brother i want to downgrade to an official gb only.

It's official frimware? Thanks!!

Get official from Sammobile and use odin.
As I see you don't know what root its.. You don't need so... Stick to the standart procedure and I'm afraid you gotta wipe/factory reset once you have finished flashing gb if you downloaded a Kies version
Why? Because all your apps will FC if you don't....

Thank you very much for your reply.i have a very small question to you that my phone wouldn't get harm or bricked due to this downgrade?or it will get harm?tell me please.

as long as you follow all the instructions (on the downgrade to GB), your phone will be fine.

@coolcris
There is no need to go to abyss, as you are downgrading to GB, so first downgrade then wipe is enough
@OP
Downgrade/Flashing won't harm your device
Find 1st link on my signature. and select GB ROM to download and simply flash it with PC Odin, everything is mentioned there. Read it completely and still you have any doubt post your quuery.

Hi guys am I correct in. Thinking, that all the time your note is on gb that it is safe from the brick bug, and if so can I downgrade to gb without any worries

Yes GB is definitely safe from Brick Bug.
You can downgrade to GB from ICS (I presume you are on ICS right now). But please follow to the point instructions given by Dr. Ketan for downgrade to pre-rooted GB ROM. The link can be obtained from his signature from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801341

you are right but you can be safe on ICS too if you want to
depends how you want to use your Note

If you're rooted on ICS - Just flash a safe ICS Kernel;
Speedmod
NoteCore
HydraCore

GB stock ROM.

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.

Im assume your devices havent rooted. And wanna go for custom ics rom.
1) root your devices ( dr.ketan thread).
2) flash speedmod or hydracore kernel thru rocovery or mobile odin.
3) reboot recovery and do full wipes.
4). Install rom. Done.
Good luck
