I know there is a Stock Gingerbread pre-rooted ROM..But is there a pre-rooted Stock ICS ROM with a safe kernal so the only thing I have to do flash it using PC Odin?

Unfortunately, the only safe way for the moment to root ICS is to flash a custom kernel in PC ODIN...I suggest you flash Speedmod or Notecore. Then you can use triangle away to reset the binary counter and get rid of the triangle.
Im on CM9 at the moment.. Just to be sure, Flash stock ICS (should I wipe/factory before or it doesnt matter?). Flash a kernal. Then do a wipe/factory since it´s safe now.. Am I right?
Or another thing, Is there a custom Touchwiz based ICS ROM which is safe from the EMMC bug and is rooted, if yes then which do you recommend for speed and stability?

Ok CM9 is safe to wipe...only if you are using the CM9 kernel. ICS is not safe for certain even running a custom kernel. The safest way to do a full wipe is flashing a GB kernel, wiping and then flashing the custom rom.
There's no Stockish rom that is safe from emmc bug...just the safest is to flash a known so far safe custom kernel and run the custom rom or your choice. I am still running stock rom with notecore kernel and it works great...
Is this safe following?
2. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Copy one of custom Kernel in .tar file e.g.Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
-Point to ROM file you have copied
-All fiels will popup and feel automatically
-select kernel and point to custom kernel file you have copied
Flash.
Done!

Yes Rivan_92, that is a long yet safe method to root a stock Ice Cream Sandwich firmware. The shorter safe method would be to flash anyone of the safe custom Ice Cream Sandwich kernels listed in the quote, via PC ODIN. After that, download Triangle Away from the Google Play Store to get rid of the yellow triangle.
@Rivan_92
Yes this is one of safest method, N i am sure you copied it from one of my thread.
Still want more detail about procedure find 'ROM switching" on my signature.
Thanks you guys!
Yes dr.ketan, i did copy the text from on of your threads =D also thanks for the thread in your sig. for switching over.. Very detailed and helpful!

I've searched the entire forum and Google as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24656901 should provide the best explanation on how to revert back to GB.
However, in that thread, he mentioned that I need to flash abyss 4.0+ kernel first before restoring the backup. How about if the backup file is corrupted for some reason, are there any alternatives to revert back?
Also, if my phone was bricked one day(assume I can enter downloadmode but not CWM, which means I can't flash the abyss 4.0+ kernel), can I use the USB jig and flash the ics leak according to Dr Ketan's guide?

Yes. Download any custom GB rom to your PC (Darky, Cassie's XL, whatever), pull your SD card out, slot it in SD Card reader, transfer the GB rom from your PC to your SD card. Put the card back into your phone.
Boot into CWMR, flash Abyss, reload Recovery to get the Redpill one.
Do your wipes (data, cache, dalvik).
Tap 'install zip from SD card', navigate to your GB rom, and flash.
Reboot when the flash is done.
Pour yourself a stiff drink.

I wouldn't recommend that. I'd flash a rootable stock Rom via PC Odin, root it, flash the 1st ICS repack and flash the ICS rom of your choice. It's safer this way.

However in that situation I got a bricked phone with other kernel not Abyss Kernel.
People just emphasize flashing Abyss Kernel b4 reverting to GB, is that really viable to flash stock GB rom via pc odin?

If soft bricked (you can just reach the Download mode, not the Recovery), flashing Abyss is out, because you have no recovery to flash it from.
The only way to get yourself out of the sticky situation without triggering the binary counter and getting the triangle is the PC Odin and stock Rom. That way your binary counter stays at NO (meaning 0).
I tried each and every thing to get full root but everytime I end up with that fu** partial root. Is there anybody who can guide me. I had tried following things till now :
1. Installed Factory kJ1 via pc odin.
2. Got full root access in KJ1 GB rom (tested by pasting a file in system folder)
3. Rebooted in recovery.
4. Installed Red pill Abyss kernel.
5. Did all the three wipes in red pill mode.
6. Installed Kingdroid Rom and s3 mod patch via red pill abyss.
7. Booted up in Rom and noticed a partial root.
8. Then flashed Chainfire 5.6 kernel via pc odin.
9. Used remove triangle apk ( succeded in removing triangle)
10. But still that partial root.
11. Then tried to flash cwm.zip via "update from sdcard" mode in CWM but failed to do so. It says no update file available.
12. Then installed the same file via "Select zip from sd card".
13. Did succeded in installing by this method then tried to install SU installer but CWM hangs at "unmounting system".
14. And guess what that fu**ing partial root.
I have tried many times the same methods but still no benefit.
I upgraded using Mobile Odin and I have full root.
When MO loads files, replace kernel with CF-Root 5.6 or any other safe kernel.
Hope it helps.

Read this post before you continue.
As CF said Beware: update.zip's can trigger the bug if they use "format" commands!
This kernel is safe to restore backups and to perform wipe data and factory reset but do not use it to flash custom roms.

even i did this but i never flashed cf root via pc odin earlier. let me give it a try will tell u. ...
Success
Finally succeded in rooting ICS thanks to robbie hood and his method given in Alliance rom forum.
I have galaxy note with officially ics updated. i wish to downgrade to gb without any brick( hardbrick or superbrick). which is the safest mode to flash gb over ics. pc odin(with pre-rooted stock gb rom) or cwm with safest ics kernal (custom gb rom) ..
In my opinion, the best way is to use this guide by dr. Ketan:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
1. Download correct directly rootable rom from that thread.
2. Flash it via PC Odin.
3. Reboot into recovery.
4. Wipe, clear cache, boot your device ( after flashing GB, not on ICS )
5. Root and install CWM using ZergRush automated installer.
Never had any problems with this method, while flashing pre-rooted roms caused a few glitches.
it is must to choose non-wipe gb stock rom, am i correct ?
I have the gtn-7000 note. Its on 2.3.6. The kernal is LA6.
Ive read many guides but they are too confusing. Is i t possible if I can root my phone? If not, then what do I have to do? If it requires flashing etc then will it brick my phone?
Thank you.

Go to dr ketan's thread there is a gb rom there that is already rooted when you flash it. The gb rom has no superbrick issue only ics if you factory reset or recovery data wipe or do a nandroid.
Here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816158
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
On the third post, it tells me how to root but I am a bit confused.
Is Odin the same thing as CWM?
Will this brick/malfunction my note?
After rooting, would I have to download the LA6 kernal?
Can someone give me the link to PC Odin?

Hello everyone, I've just bought my N7000, I used to have a LG P500, then a Xperia Sola, and now my amazing GALAXY NOTE !!!!
I'm reading a lot getting the info needed to get into this device and I find particulary confusing the rooting stuff.
I have found this tutorial by dr.ketan
[24sept12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM
BUT acording to this thread by dr.ketan this method is dangerous.... and he says:
Present option to root ICS ROM is
So present option for rooting is - You can select any of one.
1. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
2. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro

Those threads had 5 months old and my question is
¿What is the updated procedure to root the Note? (SAFE)
by the way I'm running Stock ROM 4.0.4 XXLRT
:good: Thanks
I would suggest u follow the 1.A method in dr.ketan's thread
It is the easiest and safest method to root your phone
I rooted by flashing a zip file.I think there is a site named galaxynoteroot or rootgalaxynote
Anyway,try to find the site.it has video tutorials too
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
as RAj says just flash the Philz kernel for the rom build from stock recovery and you will get rooted after a reboot
What about this option? is it safe?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35512626&postcount=1
DUDE
go to Philz stock kernel thread. download the kernel that corresponds to your phone from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
reboot into recovery by doing the 3 finger salute.
flash it. and then reboot.
you are rooted and on a safe kernel.
simple
