I am on KK2 with CF-Root and CWM installed. I want to upgrade to the new ICS build using CWM : if I choose to keep the CF-Root kernel of my KK2 , would it be compatible with the ICS build? It's my understanding that ICS has lots of difference with GB, so I am not sure how should I proceed.

No ways you can have your any of the GB kernels running with ICS.
Also i would suggest you to wait for a lil while longer to jump on the official ICS bandwagon as the latest official ICS kernel LPY is posing problems of hardbricking in CWM and when deleting large file i.e. I/O jobs.
If you really want ICS then go for CM9...thats the safest as of now!!
Hey Guys! Just needed a bit of help. Is it safe to flash a gn cf root kernel on stock or custom ICS rom?? Like, will I be safe from the superbrick bug if I flash a gb kernel over an ICS one? Any Help will be appreciated! Thanx in advance!
P.S I am sorry if the question is asked before..
its hit and miss really, Some users report that CF root kernel is safe, others say its not.
One kernel confirmed to be safe is Abyss
They have one for GB and one for ICS

So if I flash Abyss Note kernel, I am safe from the superbrick bug? But won't the device be already damaged if I flash stock ICS? And also if I use factory reset from recovery or other superbrick commands, will my device get damaged? Sorry for the Q's!
If you flash an Abyss GB kernel for stock ICS (or ICS at all) it won't boot (or give a lot of errors IF it does).
Just use Speedmod or Franco kernels for stock ICS. They are safe.

You are never completely safe from the superbrick, But with abyss, and as said above speedmod (what i use) the command that causes the brick is disabled, So providing you only ever do a full wipe on a KNOWN SAFE KERNEL you will be fine.
There are a few safe kernels now, Im unsure of them all as ive only ever used speedmod & abyss, Feel free to use another one, Just be sure to check if its safe or not.
The bug is in the chip, But the command to trigger the bug is in the ICS kernel, Hence why GB is the ultimate safe option.
Thank you very much guys! I guess that I'll stay on GB till a stable ICS comes out!I really wanted to try the cool mods for ICS! But are you sure that if I use speedmod Wiping or Restoring won't brick my note? :laugh:
Well no can can confirm 100% that you wont get a brick, Although the chances of that happening on a safe kernel is minimal.
As with all modding you do it at your own risk, I can confirm i have successfully done a full wipe in CWM using both SpeedMod and Abyss kernel, So have 100's of other users too ! So you should be fine
I had doubts at first, So i upgraded to ICS via ODIN without wiping, never had any issues.

Sent from my Galaxy Note running ICS
Abyss kernel and CM9 ROM
thanks a lot every one.... a lot of info floating around...
but there a re a few questions im not sure about.... i hope if you can help answer them....
1. i checked my GN ICS 4.0.3 rooted stock and it has the chipset known to have emmc bug issue.. so now if I flash using the abyss kernel it should be fine. But do i need to flash it with a ICS ROM only or can I flash it with a pre rooted GB ROM as well?
2. I understand there are two versions of Abyss Kernel. One for ICS and one for GB. Which do i install if i plan to move to GB from ICS official stock? and vice-versa?
3. Is it safe to directly move from rooted stock ICS 4.0.3 to CM9? using Abyss kernel?
4. Just one las thing. When we flash a kernel like Abyss to ensure non bricking, does it mean that the new ROM would use the same kernel (Abyss) ? or would it install its own kernel? For example if i flash Abyss and then flash CM9 ROM, will CM9 use Abyss as the system kernel or will it install its own kernel?
Sorry for asking soo many dumb questions, but i want to get my facts right before i flash.
Thanks in advance.

azzle, are you sure there is an abyss kernel for ics too ? everyone says abyss is meant for GB only ? where is the original thread please ?
here you go...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
read all on that thread bud before you do some actions.
Abyss is a gb kernel, it's useful for doing quick flashing under ics as it's already rooted with cwm baked in. But yeah, I you can't run a ics rom under abyss, but you can install abyss, run wipes, then install ics rom and kernel all in one.

I wanna install Kingdroid 3.0
Currently on rooted Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Can i just download the whole packaged which contained fransco's kernel v3.0 and flash it straight via CWM recovery?
Then after that install the rom?
current kernel > fransco's kernel > install ICS rom???

What u can do is flash abyss kernel (which is GB) and then reboot recovery from advance options. Then full wipe and just then u can flash ICS rom.
I guess that Franco's kernel is safe but not sure and it is not worth the risk....
Any GB firmware or kernel is safe to wipe. Also all the roms that are built from source such as CM9 are also safe....

Ahh if you are already in GB then, there's no need to flash another GB kernel or firmware Sorry, I am new to the Note and I am not used to the names yet.
If you are rooted already you can flash an overclocked kernel or install SetCPU or other daemon controlloer that allows you to overclock the CPU, there's no need to use a custom rom for it...

Look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Download stock firmware for your region and flash using odin, that's it. But it is always recommended to first flash stock GB as you may have to wipe after flash.
So safe method is, first flash stock GB using odin and then update to 4.0.4. either via odin or kies.

Right but after flashing new rom the kernel will be replaced by the one included in rom.
In KD rom you will get option to choose kernel in aroma but it has Notecore, you can later flash Hydracore (latest) if you want to.
thanks allot man.you helped me

You just need to be on a safe kernel to flash rom, no matter if it is Hydracore or Speedmod or some other. It will be then replaced by the kernel included in ROM and you can always change the kernel as per your preference.
