how to prevent your note from hardbricked

Dears
when you flash any new rom you are taking a risk to cause EMMC Bricke, so the solution for this is before you flash any rom you have to keep a copy of Abyss Note kernel on your external memory card, then restart your phone in recovery mod and flash the kernel after that make reboot in recovery mod again then follow the new rom flash instructions
Note:
1- when you flash the Abyss Note kernel you have to be sure that really you want to flash a new rom other wise your phone it will not work until you flash the new rom
2- no need to flash this kernel if you need only to update your currant rom

This is only applicable to stock ics roms and custom roms using stock ics kernel (don't think there are any anymore). Emmc is not triggered by flashing but by wiping which is done in menu, dialler, recovery, by changing csc or flashing a full wipe ics rom.
All gb kernels are safe from emmc, abyss is a gb kernel, so the same goes for any gb kernel.
Just to clarify.

I want to flash LQ2 over itself to stop root as unrooting isn't making the fact it has previously been rooted to the Sky Go app. Can I just flash LQ2 using Odin mobile and not risk the brick bug?

Use CWM to flash zips.
Use pc odin to flash tar files... Just wipe cache and flash it..
Using jbroid kernel script before flashing is perfect in CWM.

Depends on the kernel..Don't wipe with stock kernels which comes from Samsung officially...Flash a safe kernel first then Do wipes...

so flashing to the abyss is the safest way to upgrade then....great

Last week I've been running Crash v8.2, it's a nice rom. This is the way I installed it:
1. Download Abyss4.2 kernel and save on sd
2. Download Crash rom file and save on sd
3. Boot in recovery mode(home+pwr+volup)
4. Install Abyss 4.2 kernel
5. Advanced > reboot recovery
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Install rom file
8. Reboot system
After step 3 its a good idea to do a backup(nandroid) in cwm recovery if you haven't already.
After step 7 you can install HydraCore 3.5 again if you want it back, it works fine with Crash. Im actually using 3.5oc on it.

So I cannot directly flash under Hydracore kernel 3.5 must install Abyss4.2 kernel to flash that rom right? Actually why we need flash kernel any use for it? Can we flash rom without kernel?

You can probably do the steps without flashing Abyss4.2 Just telling how I did it. I've made it a habit to flash Abyss4.2 before wipe since it's proved to be safe with wipes and stable with installations over a long time.

I currently use
official ICS: 4.0.4
baseband version: N7000DXLR1
Kernel version : HydraCore v3.5
Build Number: IMM76D.DXLR5
does it safe for me to Wipe Data/Dalvik/Cache?

I have read here at xda, in description for HydraCore 3.5, that it should be safe to wipe (data/dalvik/cache) on this kernel. But thats all I know =) I would like to believe it's safe when they say so. But I have not tried myself yet.

[Q] From JB/ICS to GB

Is there a way to downgrade from JB or ICS to GB without using ODIN?Just install a custom GB rom from JB

Yup... I would recommend to first downgrade to CM7 and then switch (if you really want to that is) to any other GB rom..
Just flash away in recovery.. but I think you'll have to flash twice or thrice..
1. wipe everything
2. flash CM7
3. Reboot recovery (by going to advanced and selecting reboot recovery, if CWM doesn't come up, then power off and go to recovery mode manually by three button combo)
4. flash once more
5. reboot recovery again by going to advanced (if it didn't work the last time)
6. flash again and flash gapps and reboot.. you are done

What version of cwm does cm7 have?

Need a bit help on custom time installing for note ics

Hi to all expertise,
I currently have a note with stock ics 4.0.4,
it use to be on gb 2.3.6,
I use Dr ketan method (thanks) to upgrade to ics 4.0.4,
by stock gb > install custom kernel to get cwm > wipe data > wipe cache > wipe del cache > install stock ics using odin > install cwm.zip at stock ics recovery > install super user to root
Now,
I heard that if u wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delcache on stock ics will brick your phone,
so,
I can't use cwm.zip to install custom rom,
am I right?
Can teach what way should I use to install a custom rom for ics?
Thanks in advance.

Stock gb > Use PC Odin to install stock ics > install custom kernel for ICS like Philz or hydracore using PC Odin (you will get CWM & root)
Once you instal custom kernel for ICS like Philz or hydracore, you are safe to wipe since these have the eMMC_CAP_ERASE disabled.

Restrict the use of CWM.zip.
if you are not rooted, use the Philz kernel, and install from stock recovery. It will autoroot your phone and its a safe kernel and has best CWM ever built

I did a root using the cwm.zip last time till now, can i direct use the method u said or do I need to do something else 1st? And after the kernel flash by ur method, I can direct flash custom time like cm 9, right?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

i guess you are rooted as of today. Right ?
if yes what kernel are you on ? In on stock, immediately move to Philz kernel. you can use Mobile Odin to flash the kernel if rooted. if not then use the stock recovery.
After installing this kernel, you can directly flash any ROM you want

I'm still under root today, since that day using cwm.zip to root it.
My kernel is on stock ics LR2.
Baseband is LR1.
Can I direct use the stock recovery method to install this kernel u said, without unhooking the previous root?
Oh, and I didn't install mobile Odin since the day I rooted my note, just for reference.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

you can use recovery as well as mobile odin
whats your rom build... use it to find your kernel...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

I have downloaded this from the link u guys shown,
PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR2-OLB-v2.7.signed.zip
Is the the correct kernel I need?
And so, I will following the step bellows even though I have done the root by using CWM.zip till now:
1.put the signed zip file to the root of extenal sd card.
2.go to stock recovery, not cwm.zip recovery.
3.flash safe kernel zip.
4.reboot.
5.all set to flash custom time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, tq .

You're on a safe kernel, it should be fine to flash straight to 4.04, but you'll need to do full wipes in cwm before and after flash.

before you do that connect to PC and delete whatever you can then move to recovery

I also recommend you format your internal sdcard in recovery, after saving whatever you need. This way you ensure there's no personal data left which any app might have left.

Rom i flashed: N7000XXLRI---4.0.4/12.07.17-N7000NEELP4---Download--- Nordic countries
I first went into cwm and did full wipe, then i used odin method like it said in that thread. I loaded the md5 file and put note in download mode. it said "Pass" and note rebooted.
I also now tried to flash the same rom in cwm (I put the .rar file in root of internal memory), i get an error right away says (bad) and failed. is it wrong rom?

I downloaded the hydracore kernel, but when I now try to go into cwm I get Android System Recovery, how can I flash the kernal without cwm and I cant start phone?

[/COLOR]DO THIS - it will work. Download Philz kernel (it is safe to wipe from)...it is essentially a stock kernel with cwm and removes brick bug...
You can flash it from android stock recovery.
wipe data dalvic and cache... reboot you should be good..
If you want to remove root...install mobile Odin and ref lash your stock ROM with wipe and don't check root

Not only what antique says (which is CRUCIAL).can you boot into recovery with power volume up home?
If none of this works you are going to need to download dr.ketan's prerooted GB ROM and flash that. With PC odin..because since its GB you can do a factory reset in stock recovery and there is no risk of bricking your phone... then use mobile Odin to flash LRI

I am not sure about the triangle for those... can anyone else chime in on this please? Nokia spyder do u guys know?
If you want you can flash a stock kernel ICSand get recovery back..or ref lash LRI and then get the proper philz flashed through stock recovery...
I mean I have used triangle away many times without a problem...but definitely avoid the triangle if you can...

Phillz kernel won't raise counter, and yes if you need to go back to stock kernel you can just flash with pc Odin without raising counter.
