I flashed a custom rom for the first time ever using a tutorial from roottgalaxynote.com. Everything went fine and I'm using a custom rom now. I was just wondering what the wiping is everybody is talking about. I didn't do any kind of wipe, I just installed the rom on top of the rooted stock rom. It seems to be running fine but II still don't know what a wipe does. Any help for a noob? I thnx
Look if u r on ics then there are risks gb is completely safe from this emmc brickbug
Use abyss kerenl it is known to be a safe kernel if you want to wipe
And if everything is working fine than dont wipe

What do you mean by look if you're on ics. I was on standard ics now on. Criskelorom. I did use the abyss kernel. I'm save from bricking using this kernel right?
There are three separate wipes:
1. Dalvik cache, and cache, clears any settings, usually first port of call if experiencing and boot loops or fc's after flashing (Dalvik wipe only available in advanced recovery, not on stock Samsung e3)
2. Full data wipe, aka factory reset, clears all data and settings off device, returns to stock.
Usually when changing from stock rom to custom or different rom types like aokp to cm9, you can get residue which means you'll often get lots of fc's when you boot up. Most people panic when they experience this and do something stupid and end up bricking. Performing a wipe just clears out any debris that may have been left. If you're running smoothly, there's no need to wipe. And yes, you're safe from emmc brickbug, above poster obviously didn't read the CUSTOM portion of your rom description.

I understand that you installed Criskelo ROM. The OP of the developer clearly mentions that do a full wipe, after you have flashed Abyss 4.2 (RedPill). I think you need to read the sticky thread in the Gnote forum first as well as the Public Service Announcement regarding the brickbug, before you do any kind of flashing in ICS.
For the safety of your Gnote pls. pls. follow the installation instructions to the point otherwise you may just brick your device. Yeah your device may be working correctly right now, but it is highly recommeded to follow the installation instructions keeping in mind the brickbug issue.
thnx for your reply. I did read a lot of information on this forum, but to be honest I don't understand it all. As a former iPhone user I'm really new to this stuff. I've been waiting for months to flash the kernel because I was afraid to brick my precious phone.
Is it correct that I'm safe from brick as long as I flash abyss kernel first? So after flashing kernel I should be safe to do a wipe before installing a new rom?
You are on ics, you cannot use abyss. The abyss42 kernel is used specifically for flashing purposes.
Safe kernels for ICS are speedmod and notecore. But even then, i do all my wipes from within abyss, install my ics rom then reinstall a safe kernel.

So the abyss kernel is a safe gb kernel for wipe and installing new rom. Since the kernel is part of the rom another kernel will be installed with the custom rom. Am I right here? So every time I want to use another rom I have to flash with abyss first. But is there still a risk of bricking using using this method? I will never just install a leaked rom or anything.
thats what i do, use abyss to flash any rom even if my current rom is already on a safe kernel like speedmod, notecore or goku.

Ok thnx. Should I only flash roms that use speedmod, notecore or goku? Or do most of the roms use them? Roms like cikrelo, kingdroid etc.

You can't flash another ROM from any ICS-based ROM. Some Samsung ICS kernels cause a so called brick bug, which causes your device to brick (read: it won't boot anymore) because Samsung ****ed something up with the internal memory. If you do a full wipe while on a stock or aosp ROM, you risk bricking your device.
The fastest way (it's not really fast tho) to flash other ROM's at this moment is to revert back to a gingerbread rom, root it, get CWM (clockworkmod recovery) and flash your ROM from recovery or odin, whatever you like.
You're now on a ICS based rom (CM9), which means if you attemt to flash another rom now and you need to do a full wipe, chances are you'll end up with a bricked phone.
Try the "revert back to Gingerbread" method to be sure you will not brick your device. There are plenty of tutorials around here to help you along with this method.

No, it needs to be flashed with cwm. You'll get an unsigned zip error if you try with mobile odin and flash will fail. Follow instructions on all roms and you won't have any problems.

I thought with abyss kernel you can flash with ics?
Woah im a lucky guy that i havent bricked my note.
Hello forum, well the wife at the moment is on gingerbread, but she was on ics which i put back to gb using pc odin..
We also have the thing with brickbug too
We want to go to a ics custom rom instead of ics stock we had originally....
Are all ics kernals with the bug or is it just stock kernal???
Correct way to clear old stuff on phone? I did clear phone using mount/storage area (was this okay???)
Thank you for any help!!!

It's only the stock kernel which has this brick bug, if you flash a safe kernel you will be fine and can safely do a full wipe.
I would recommend trying cleanote rom and kernel its very smooth and fast and stable and is close to stock.
Start by upgrading to ics again and then flashing speedmod kernel in odin
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Eventhough the brick bug scripts are disabled in many kernels it would be preferably safe to always flash abyss kernel 4.2 before a wipe. You have nothing to lose spending a few minutes more. So time to time before switching between roms and doing wipes think and re-think. be safe. :angel:
Hello,
Right now, my Galaxy Note is running a rooted version Samsung ICS:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version: 3.0.150N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPY
I'd like to try CM10, but I've been reading a lot of issues from people flashing ROMs from Samsung ICS. What would be the safest way to install CM10? Should I downgrade to a Samsung Gingerbread ROM first? What procedure would you guys recommend?
Thanks,
Tiago
It is important to downgrade first to samsung stock GB.

But should I flash a stock Samsung GB ROM or a rooted GB ROM? Should I use CWM or Odin to flash GB?

you can flash the pre rooted GB rom by Chainfire...then flash the cf kernel....do a full wipe and then just flash CM10. Find the procedure here:

Flash it to stock GB
here's the other link for the video.. again all courtesy to the creator of that video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc
There's also the links of the ROM (choose checkROM GB or RocketROM) and the kernel you need to download.
Just follow his video bud, (I'm following his video for flashing roms and I never miss going back to this video to downgrade to GB)
Cheers!
I see. So flashing Abyss kernel from Samsung ICS (LPY kernel) using CWM is actually safe? I just want to be sure because I've seen many people advising not to use CWM at all if you are on a Samsung ICS ROM.
abysskernel is not an infected kernel, that is why mostly when your going to downgrade to gingerbread.. most flashers will tell you to flash first to abysskernel then flash the GB rom after.

OK, I flashed Abyss kernel (worked fine), rebooted recovery, made a full wipe, flashed Rocket ROM and rebooted the system. I see the boot animation, but after that, nothing happens (blank screen). I've waited over 5 minutes, but the ROM doesn't boot. Anything else I can try?
I'm f*cking tired of explaining this over and over again...MY GOD!! You could've just read the CM9 installation instructions, CHECKED OUT THE STICKIES, ANYTHING LIKE THAT!
THE ONLY 100% SAFE WAY TO GET RID OF AN INFECTED KERNEL IS TO FLASH TO GB THROUGH PC ODIN!! Why the F*CK does everyone prefer to flash abyss and take that risk...!?
IF!! You're confident that RocketRom flashed correctly, you could probably full wipe (AGAIN) from recovery (you'd be on a safe kernel) and that should solve your problem...
Wait for a 2nd opinion though...

I reflashed Abyss kernel, did a full wipe and installed CM10 right away. It worked just fine! CM10 is working quite well, I'm really impressed!
You guys got me worried for a second. I guess I just had a bad download of Rocket ROM after all.

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

Eternity Project what? The Rom or Kernel? If the Kernel is for a STOCK based ROM then by all means go ahead and flash it, it shouldn't brick your phone at all! If anything it may cause a bootloop but i very much doubt that.
However if you are after flashing the Eternity Project ROM (4.3) Then you will need to back up first and then carry out a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) And then flash the Rom, I believe it has a kernel with it and it should boot, however if not check the FAQ on the Rom thread!
Happy Flashing/Overclocking!
