Just upgraded to 4.0.4 using kies, is the kernel safe?

Just curious if this kernel also contains the brickbug and if I should return to speedmod or other friendly kernel. The one I got installed by kies is now:

No stock ICS kernel is safe.. Only Custom kernels with the MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled are safe.

Of Course YES if u will not flash any rom.... If u r thinking to do so..Think once again..It can cost u around 600$..

Well that was my question. So the samsung kernel does have the brickbug in it still? So I should flash the speedmod kernel which has the erase disabled?

Yes. It is still buggy.. Flash speedmod first or any other kernel with emmc cap erase disabled..

there have been isolated reports of getting brick using CF kernel as well. Though it has yet to be confirm on the how's and why's it got bricked.
Generally still. kernels that have the MMC_Cap_Erase command disabled should be okay.

This issue is with the cwm. Exe file only so far,which I believe is a shortcut root to rooting on ics. All kernels that have cwm baked in are ok.

Very true!
Bricked mine last week trying to installed cooked ROM.
Send it back to Samsung for repair under warrenty and they kindly fixed it for me.
Also installed ICS 4.0.4 for me too (It went with ICS 4.0.3).
Got back in 5 day including shipping back and forth. They even sent the bag for it.
Pretty happy with service.

You mean cwm.zip? BTW if people flash stock GB, root it using Zergrush Exploit and then flash CM9 or any other ROM with a safe kernel for that matter i think this issue wouldn't be there.

Before u flash it...
What kind of cwm u need??
CWM recovery or CWM manager or Both of them.?
CF root LRG include CWM recovery n CWM manager but any superSU issue.
Notecore v.6,goku kernel v.1.5,speedmod K3-9 include cwm recovery but nothing cwm manager,u can install cwm manager as add on..
U should rooted before flashing the kernel..

Cwm recovery is cwm in recovery mode..
Cwm manager is cwm in ur desktop..
LRG kernel have conflict with superSU..
yes, u can use LRK for ur LR1..
Notecore had been erase emmc bug n had been patched..
CF just stock kernel which has given root access..
Notecore V.10.2 is recommended choice..
No counter or yellow triangle if u flash it from mobile odin or cwm recovery..

By flashing a safe kernel like Goku, Speedmod or Notecore for your stock TW ICS you'll get a safe cwm...it is up to you which one you prefer, just try them out...
As I know Speedmod is very stable (no oc/uv but battery friendly), Goku is undervolted/not oc'ed (don't know the voltage table) with a 100MHz frequency, but it makes no sence 'cause 100MHz use the same voltage as 200MHz...and finally there is Notecore with an eye more on performance than battery life (but it is good as well regarding battery)...if you decide for Notecore, flash the STD-version first (not every Note can handle the oc'ed version).
To switch from TW ROM to CM9/CM10 it is recommended to go back to GB via PC Odin to do a fullwipe from there to safely switch over to CM9/CM10. Other's only flash Abyss (a GB-kernel) without going back to GB to do the full wipe, but I read something about that there COULD be some problems at the end...you'd NEVER flash CM9/CM10 directly from TW ICS stock or custom ROM!!!
Ok, so happy flashing for you :laugh:

thanks for your rich info advices bro, a few questions.
1. custom kernel will render from official ota updates?
2. will mess up my current app, data? like notecore will reverse sd n ext sd
3. needs to restore backup after flashing?

1.-> I don't think that OTA is possible for rooted devices, but via Kies (yes, this buggy software) you'll get official updates if rooted I've read...I always flash my FW via Mobile Odin. You can get the stock FW's on sammobile f.e.!
2.-> No, Notecore overwrites only the stock kernel...your apps'n'data should be safe! The built-in CWM of Notecore kernel shows the correct paths for internal and external sd!
3.-> Before flashing anything you'd allways backup your apps with TB f.e.! And before flashing the kernel, you'd wipe cache/dalvik cache (not DATA!) or use the jbroid kernel cleaning script (this wipes cache, dalvik and fragments of old kernel for a clean flash)! After a kernel flash there is no need for a restore backup if all went as it should.
When on Speedmod, Goku or Notecore you can also do a nandroid backup before flashing any other kernel (I allways do).
And just to clear things before you'll try to flash...You have a rooted device already???

ok thank you :thumbup:that clears my doubts, yes im already rooted with mobile odin but no cwm injected well m ready to try out..

Okay, here we go...:fingers-crossed:
If you stick with Notecore ( I think so, 'cause this kernel is amazing), you have to flash often 'cause Gavin (g.lewarne) allways is cooking a new creation of his outstanding kernel.:laugh:

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

Help noob

I have stock ICS 4.0.4 rom and I want to root
my Note and flash to Cyanogen ROM or paranoid rom.
1 question: Will I be able to flash using Philz Cwm6 Kernel, or should I use other Kernel?
2. Does a stock ICS rom is a peoblem flashing to Jelly Bean Cyanogen or is the kernel which is important for flashing?
P.S Sorry if I wrote something because I'm still noob on phone modding.

just go to install a safe kernal here for ur ICS4.0.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
my advise is do a backup using the safe kernal b4 flashing any roms it might help u in case something when wrong.
if u really don't know how to flash CM u can go find a rom manager it might be the easiest way for noob.

Flashing cm requires first flashing a cm 10 or 10.1 kernel, have a look in chasmodo's kernel repository in the stickies somewhere for cm based kernels.
Doesn't matter what rom you're on, you're right it's the kernel that's the important part.
Also if flashing cm base, make sure you perform full wipes before and after flash for best stability.

No, you need a specific cm kernel. Otherwise you'll face boot loops.

You won't be able to boot into ics, but once you've flashed cm kernel, then reboot into recovery and flash CM rom and then gapps, then do 3 wipes before boot.

Philz has fixed th error 7 on the 3.99 release. So you can go ahead and do the formats and flash the cm rom. There is actually no need to flash the th cm kernel first.
I have done it myself a couple of days ago

Don't do this unless you are on Safe kernel. If you do this on Stock ICS Kernel you could very easily Brick your device.
Flash a safe kernel like Philz and then perform any wipes (if required)
