PEOPLE DON'T EVER FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!!
Your advice will add to the many victims of getting the Super brick bug
Before you advice something (like a full wipe on every flash), PLEASE THINK first before you ever suggesting others to fully wipe their device on every flashing of custom ROMS...

well it's not entirely incorrect.
correct me if im wrong, but the majority of custom roms out there have cap_erase removed which means people can factory reset safely.
the bricks usually occur if people wipe on a stock samsung rom, where cap_erase ISN'T removed.
so if you're on a custom rom, and you flash another custom rom, assuming both roms had cap_erase removed, it shouldn't be a problem right?

You haven't done a lot of reading have you? Look for it in the General section, especially topics for eMMC and 'Entrophy'
Wiping be it on custom or stock doesn't guarantee any safeties at all. even using CMW is a no no. If your custom rom has an infected kernel (that comes with it), fully wiping after flashing your phone ensures you a deadweight one after that.
It only takes one single full wipe to brick your phone, and it takes a load of hell to fix it.

I'm sorry I often do this and there is no problem...
If u do it with stock kernel of course u will get superbrick..
But if u do it with safe kernel then superbrick can be avoided..

how do you generalize your advice to all the people your giving it? do you ask for their kernel first before telling them to fully wipe their NOTE?
Your playing a russian roulette dude. People would misunderstand your advice generally. There a lot of custom ROMS out there. Most often than not, its carrying an infected kernel. People who just scans and see your advice would tantamount to follow it to a tee (w/o telling you the full details of their kernel) and WHAM!! they get their phone brick!
There are already to many people asking help here... PLEASE don't add it more with your senseless advice!

For someone who just registered this month, you surely got a lot of nerve!.
I've flash a lot of custom roms before you ever had gone here in Xda-dev dude. Don't divert me into clicking on that link.. been there done that. get it?
My advice to you is, before you try advising people for their problems. READ FIRST in all the stories and forum threads on our beloved Note. You will gain infos on what's causing it, and how to resolve and prevent it from ever happening it again.
So tip of advice, don't go all around the forum in advicing people to fully wipe their phone after flashing any roms. STOCK or CUSTOM.
Person's like you are the causes on why there are still people getting the bricks on their phone. Crappy advice and stuff!
Geez!!

Hi Akilesh,
Yeah, no problem. Regarding your cleanote rom q, hmm that I'm not sure how long it takes to boot though. You may need to address that question my friend to the appropriate Cleanote note thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088
I've ended my quest in flashing custom roms already... eversince this brick bug came and wreck some lives off some people.
By the way, always make sure whenever you need to wipe things, it is better you have a safe kernel installed beforehand.
Like I've said getting the Super brick bug is just like playing a russian roulette. You'll never know when and how you got the brick, so take necessary precautions on how to prevent it

Again, Entropy and a lot of seasoned experts have already made their stand on it. NEVER WIPE your phone in any flashing you do. Lest you get brick.

Yeah he did wipe it but he was already using a safe kernel. My point is, don't just blurt out to people to wipe anythng without asking them some additional necessary infos. It is okay to wipe and I'm not against that (if your using a safe kernel already). What I am against is the wrong notion in giving advices to WIPE your phone PERIOD.. Without even clarifying other infos at hand.

I'm sorry if I can't answer your cleanote question bud. Like I've said. I stopped changing /flashing custom Roms after the onset of this superbrick bug issue. Im all on stock 4.0.4 firmware now.
Anyway, it's all nice and dandy feeling that everything has been fix already in your end.
Let the good times roll.. :good:

Cheers!
I also want to flash cleanote rom and i am currently waiting on an updated version of that rom with the latest notecore kernel. I'm on stock 4.0.4 also and will use the PC Odin method to flash notecore kernel to root and then triangle away for binary reset. Then finally go with mobile Odin/PC Odin to flash the rom. After hours of reading threads, this seems to be a safest way to do it.

I was recently having issues with CM7; I wasn't able to flash off of it and back onto serendipity VII. I used the Odin one-click to put the phone back to stock firmware, re-rooted it, and flashed Serendipity VII build 3.
So, here's what it's doing: Every time it boots up, the screen gets all funny: black with all sorts of grainy, pixelly colors. That's fine; it did that before I flashed CM7. A little irritating, but should still be workable. Then a voice comes on and says: "Convert data partition. Backup operation. Restore operation. [Something something] Have now activated."
Then the phone reboots and starts all over again; same screen, same voice, same words.
Here's the killer though. I cannot get into download mode at all. No matter what I do, the phone ignores my trying to get into download mode and just goes back to the voice. Can't turn it off and hit the vol+/- and power. Can't remove the battery and hold the buttons down and put the battery back in. It doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get past this?

Voodoo? Don't think so. Bootloaders? All I flashed was the ROM. If bootloaders are separate from the ROM, then it's not likely.

U really need to read m8, use google as well to find ur answers if xda's SEARCH comes up empty. Allways read the STICKIES first. Once u have an idea how things work, read over and over the ROMs flashing instructions and only then proceed. If u feel like you don't have time for that, stock is all you need otherwise u'll most likely end up taking ur phone back to att asking for a replacement (or sending it for a jtag repair). I didn't know zip either when I first started up ,but man, reading takes u far.

1st off I didn't make assumptions as u stated what u did and was clear that in the process to get to Serendipity7, a gb rom (gb=gingerbread) u left out gb bootloaders that is a must have to run gb roms, as it was said before ^^ If u'd have been as confident flashing serendipity as u were writing that reply then u wouldn't be here in the first place. Although I'll cut you some slack since Serendipity is lacking flashing instructions . Still u shouldn't go flaming when in need of help, rather be greatful for ppl even reading you post and trying to help (that's all we wanned). Apologize for ur rookie mistake and ask what to do next, help will come - trust me. I'll give you the one where there's risk involved in the flashing procedure
As the guys, 4-2ndtwin and b-eock, said earlier @ this point u'll need a jig to force ur phone into download mode. The lady (robot) voice u heard was the voodoo lagfix (ext4) conversion which is done by the kernel.
Now once u'll be equipped with a jig and ur on dl mode flash back to stock jf6 with odin one click (optional - but I'd recomend u do a master clear) and if u'd still wanna go for serendipity then first flash a GB bootloader (i897 or i9000 -doesn't matter) followed by a kernel flash with cwm (clockworkmod recovery) backed in and last comes the rom flash. I summed it up really short ,so that u read and educate ur self . If ur looking for step by step tuturials look for them in other rom threads.

Please explain how my replies were flaming. I never RAEGD or "OMG GTFO MY THREAD"'d or "Ur so stoopid u must be a rtard!!!! LOL"'d at all. I simply explained that I'd rather not have people calling me ignorant without basis to the claim. Also, I have no reason to apologize. Yes, I screwed something up. I did nothing to anyone here, other than defend myself when people start calling me an idiot or a noob. And it's hard to be grateful for help I'm not getting.
Apparently, I've not been clear. This is the tutorial I followed today to reroot my phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-root-the-samsung-vibrant-captivate/
The tutorial I used for the rom is linked in the one above. Never in any tutorial does it mention anything about bootloaders or jigs or anything of the sort. That stuff was never relevant the first time I rooted my phone. This is why I don't know what people are talking about; It was never mentioned, it was never necessary until now.
That said, Fulo, the second half of your paragraph was actually the most helpful information yet. Thank you.
EDIT: Thank you to whoever decided to help rather than simply call me an idiot. I can see why these tutorials don't say anything about bootloaders now. I will be creating a jig tomorrow and will hopefully have my phone unbricked. To whoever DID decide to simply call me an idiot, I hope you learn to grow up soon.
Nobody called you an idiot, I was going to help you. But then stuff happened

appreciate the time spent,

If you're not from Korea theb GB isn't out yet, except CM7. You need to wait a few days for the official to come out.
And if you want CM (nightly), then flash it from CMW doing a full data, cache, dalvik wipe before flashing (maybe after too).

Connect your phone to the PC, install the LG Phone software that came with the phone, and use the software update feature. Simple as that. Please note however that GB *is not released yet* so don't ask when it will be released as nobody knows anything else other than "soon".

You can use KDZ method or LG Software Updater (B2CApp)
Remember to make full wipe before flashing or you'll get a bootloop.

Hey ruibullseye, better then asking here is if you use the search and some of your time to learn stuff. Almost all the usual OB fw upgrade/change questions are already answered in this subforum. Same for most problems you might get into. I started using android phone about a month ago. Following the forum around i can say it only took me about 5-6 hours to get familiar with the basic hacks for this phone. And also unbricking procedures and emergecy stuff, which i needed...twice. you cannot avoid it, it will happen to you at least once...
The truth is out there. Use search. ;-) if any issues, ask. But be sure to read the rules before posting.

Ok,since noone simplyy answers the question, i will. Even though u are right that learning by doing is still the best way... but why brick the phone? To find a way to unbrick and recover everything?
Well first i suggest u backup everything with titanium backup(can get it in store) then i first bootet into recovery, then did a full, davlic and battstats wipe, returned to menu, chose backup and restore and simply restored froyo. Then reboot and everything is fine and u can keep checking for updates. This is the procedure i chose, which surely is not the best and fastest, but the savest for me. Hope u understand my english and also have success ;-)
And sorry, because I didnt see some of the advices you gave to him, or I just found em to superficial, so I posted a guid, which as I think can even be understood by a complete NOOB
It causes a total brick the phone. It is literally useless. Under no circumstances install or flash this kernel.
If you have it installed do not wipe.
Flashing by odin another kernel.
Thanks.
Mod please delete this useless double post

I don't know about useless... seems like this could be reposted a thousand times and still be relevant to the person who hasn't seen it yet.
Well, the download links are long gone, so for those who haven't been there yet the risk is not only virtually non-existent, isn't it ?
What's alarming is that there are many other links out there on the internet with this kernel. I hope this gets bumped for as long as necessary. Bricking a $700 device sounds like a very expensive pill to swallow.
In this case, a little clutter wouldn't be too bad, if it serves the greater purpose of warning even than one to two people who are unaware of this issue.
maybe people will stop posting stuff from xda all over the net and make users come here to get it instead of stealing someone elses work.
I keep reading posts about warnings against flashing a i9220 kernel. I checked mine and I'm not sure if I should be worried and if so, how do I fix it.
I am on midnote 2.0 with kernel 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP1-CL131270 [email protected] #3
Thanks guys

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to discover if I have a bad partition without experiencing a Hard Brick?
I am on the official Taiwanese ICS release (LPF) and I DID to a Factory reset and Cache wipe on the Factory recovery after flashing. I used PC Odin and was coming from stock GB.
As Odin was doing its thing I got an error message about not being able to find a certain file. I wish I had written it down, but I don't have the exact verbiage. Anyway, Odin seemed to finish, the phone booted and it's been fine ever since.
I had been on LPY, but after reading about the emmc bug, I went back to GB.
I have had a few bugs, but the phone seems fine. I guess I'm just paranoid now from all the threads about bricking.
Is there anyway to tell if I have damage if I don't actually have a brick? I tend to copy a lot of pictures from my storage to a NAS, and I'm worried at one point the phone will just blow up if I copy a large number of files one day.
Thanks for the help
Sorry for the bump but I could really use some help.
Maybe I can ask another way. After flashing Official Taiwan ICS and wiping both before and after, am I safe now if I havent bricked yet? Its been over a week.
Thanks
There is currently no way right now that is "public knowledge" at least. Entropy and others are hard at work at fixing the bug, although there already is a workaround like in Franco's kernel and Speedmod kernel. And the CM9 kernel is safe.
I believe you are perfectly safe.I have been switching ROMs ever since ICS was out for note.I've done factory resets on each of them. I didn't face any bricking issues. Incidentally, talking about wiping, I've done factory resets on ZSLPF for about 13 times. It's still perfectly fine. I personally think stock Roms are impeccably SAFE; it's the "rooting" and "cwm" which causes problem in ICS on note. I advise you to be wary of rooting till it's perfectly safe to do so.

This makes me angry, i've seen you on other posts stating the same thing, even on the samsung declaration post that the current ics kernels are affected. Please stop directing people into your danger. You dont understand the implications of the bug at all, so dont comment.

Could you please post a link to that post where Samsung admitted that their kernels are affected.I wouldn't have ventured out if I had my phone rooted.As I mentioned earlier even Samsung representative told me it's safe to wipe.I wouldn't have said it had they issued the statement to the contrary.

I have already seen that thread.However, I seem to be sceptical about it's verity.
Here is the link where that issue was brought up to Samsung and they have replied to it too.

Mate, seriously, you need to keep your oppinionated mouth closed. You hqve the strength of established developers on xda working closely with google and samsung to resolve the issue that is recognised by both. Please stop guiding people to an early death, some of them don't have warranties.

OP,
There is a cumbersome way...but it is a way to test if your data system partition is fried.
Like Sumrall has mentioned in one of the original links, you don't know if it's fried until the phone tries to access that part of the chip. If it is indeed fried, your phone will lock up and reboot.
What I did to test to make sure my NAND was alright was to copy movies into the data folder via Root Explorer. Copy stuff into the data folder until there wasn't any space left (as you approach 10mb and under in the data partition, copy mp3s, and eventually even font files to really hone down on the remaining space). If parts of the NAND were indeed fried, your phone should lock up and reboot when that happens. If nothing happens, your data partition is fine.
You can repeat these steps for the system partition if you so wish, but it is very unlikely, as root explorer indicates, say in my case, that there is only 6mb of space free or so. So if any damage had been done to the system partition, you would have found out a long time ago in my opinion either through a fail flash in odin or something along those lines.
Ignore "abhijit038". He's a troll and is spreading dangerous information.
Hi everyone
Recently i got my Galaxy Note, but i would like to root it only. to gain access to apps like droidwall, adblocker and other more apps. i wonder does rooting a Note has any risk ? like bricking it or similar problem like this ?
Is it easy to root a Note ?
Why am i asking this ? because my brother said that there's a risk rooting Note. i used to owned a Galaxy Tab GT P 1000 and i rooted it easily without risk or problems that was a year ago. but now my tab died due to some user here named cx5 posted misleading guide to flash latest ICS or JB caused my tab unable to power on anymore.
If you are on ics rom,then u are on an unsafe kernel.Wiping or flashing on stock ics kernel will brick your phone
So as soon as u root your phone,u need to flash a safe kernel.If u are on ics,u can simply flash philz kernel to root your phone and its a safe kernel
Here is a guide to root your phone

1A method of the above mentioned thread is the best. There is no risk involved of you do everything by the book.

Yeah i am using ICS now android version 4.0.4. Does rooting it have any risk of bricking it ? what do you mean by unsafe kernel ?
stock ics kernels have a bug that has a mmc erase command enabled that could delete critical files and render your phone useless. so comes the need of custom kernels which the devs here disabled this command.
wipe using stock kernels is unsafe

Ima be blunt with you man. I can tell by the way you replied to what these guys have told you, you probably lack the reading skills or attentiveness to do something like this. If you can't understand that they answered a question and you ask it again... chances are you'll miss something in one of the guides.

Read the stickies, enough said, obviously you haven't. If you still have problems after that we'll help, but you need to do the groundwork.

Well this is my second time doing rooting on a android phone. hopefully there's no problems doing it. I'm not sure whether should i flash a custom roms as i am afraid since there's a risk bricking it. it's my first time flashing custom roms. I just found out some sort of bug that exist on stock ICS at Note that makes the phone bricked if flashing other roms/deleting the current OS. hmm i wonder does the bug affect factory reset too ?
Actually this would have been the second time flashing a android phone if i did not follow misleading guide posted by some user here causing my tab to be bricked.
I'm still not sure why my brother said there's a risk of bricking when trying root a note.
Is it safe to stay rooted on stock OS ?
Is it possible to set permanent landscape mode on note ?
Your answers are in the stickies.
Summary of 2 ways to destroy your phone:
1) Factory reset/wipes on stock ICS kernels (Samsung default).
2) Rooting via cwm.zip through temp recovery
