[GUIDE] Which Kernels are Safe/Unsafe to Wipe and Flash from - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

"Hi. I'm on SpeedMod K3-13 and want to flash CM10. Do I flash AbyssNote 4.2, reboot recovery, wipe and then flash...?"
"How do I flash this? I'm on stock ICS with CF-Root...?"
"I am on ICS Stunner 4.25 and want to flash ParanoidAndroid. What do I have to do...?"
These sort of questions crop up tens of times daily in various GNote threads. This little guide is meant to give you an answer to those and similar questions, so you'll know what to do. It'll also hep you to not get ridiculed by all sorts of cranky characters (myself included) in the fora.
Safe Kernels to Wipe and Flash From
You can go directly into CWMR, do a full wipe and flash new TW- or CM-based Roms (it doesn't matter which ones) according to their instructions. No need to go back to GB, no need to flash some new kernel, no need to reboot recovery. Just boot into CWMR, wipe and flash like you would in the good old GB days - there's nothing to fear.
TW ICS Kernels
1. All NoteCore kernel versions
2. All PhilZ-cwm6 kernels
3. All Franco kernels starting from v4 and newer kernels
4. All SpeedMod kernels starting from v4 and newer
CM9/CM10 Kernels
These are all absolutely safe to wipe and flash from directly. You can flash new TW or CM Roms, it doesn't matter which one. Following Roms are running CM9/CM10 kernels ATM: official CM9/CM10 (obvioulsy), ParanoidAndroid, Asylum ICS and JB, LiquidSmooth, all AOKP Roms, Ganbarou.
HydraCore Universal Kernel
Universal kernel for all TW- and CM-based JB and ICS Rom(developed by g.lewarne of NoteCore fame). It has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled both in the kernel and CWMR. You can flash any type of Rom directly from its CWMR (full wipe and flash).
GB Kernels
All perfectly safe to wipe/flash from directly. Side note: don't listen to guys who tell you that you need to flash an ICS Rom or kernel before going for JB. They are wrong: you can flash JB Roms directly from GB.
Borderline Case: Safe - Sort of?
CF--Root ICS Kernels - All of Them
These kernels are safe to wipe from, but not totally safe to flash from. This is what Entropy and Jgaviota say about them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29263870&postcount=490
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29268600&postcount=492
Having this in mind, my advice would be for you to flash one of the safe kernels over CF--Root, reboot recovery, wipe everything and flash away. Although CF--Root has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled in its recovery, apparently Roms you want to flash from it can brick your phone with bad update-binary.
Unsafe Kernels - Red Alert!
These are just biding their time and waiting for a chance to brick your Note.
1. All leaked ICS kernels - ZCLP1, ZCLP5, ZCLP6, Angelom's Stock ICS kernel and Neobuddy's modified ZCLP kernel (in old Stunner Roms)
2. All stock ICS kernels running in Roms rooted by the infamous CWM.zip method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
If your Rom happens to have any of the above, don't panic. Head over to the kernel thread, download any of the safe kernels for Mobile/PC Odin (they are tar files, not zips). Put the safe kernel tar on your PC, fire up PC Odin, hit PDA and select your kernel tar. Put the phone into download mode, connect it to your PC and flash the new kernel via PC Odin. After the flash is done, go into the CWMR, do the wipes and flash any new Rom you fancy.​

Where do I find the kernels?
Q. Where do I find and download all these kernels you're talking about here?
In Kernel Repository thread. Click here to get them.​

This should be sticky,thank you!

Once again Chas, a good guide to refer to.....
could you give your advise about this scenario -- maybe it needs a special mention too
Mobile Odin on Cf root kernel ( this combination)
please refer this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30723213&postcount=483
once in a while we do find ourselves on rooted stock kernel or Cf root kernel and wanting to use Mobile Odin....

As posted above, I would not advise flashing any new Roms from CF--Root kernel, be it from CWMR or via Mobile Odin.
Drop into CF--Root CWMR, flash a safe kernel (see the OP), reboot recovery and be on your merry way.

Good stuff chasmodo Hope the sticky helps other users out.

Mobile Odin uses its own safe kernel during its operations. Kernel u are on becomes irrelevant as soon as it boots into its own recovery mode. Or am I the one spouting B/S?
Maybe guys claiming Mobile Odin bricked their devices did wipes on ICS beforehand. Damage already done. Just waiting to freeze next time bad blocks are accessed

Yes, we all know that. However Entropy also said on more than one occasion that MO sometimes fails to flash kernels properly, and advised using SetCPU to double check which kernel you are actually on after a MO flash.

Ah yes, the Franco brick. I use Mo to flash stock. (and yes, I check kernel before wiping) PC Odin worries me in case I get BSOD at the wrong time during flash. Got a new SSD for my Pc and its happening a fair bit. (still working on that one)

Yes, BSOD or micro power outage is always a concern when using PCO. They never happen but one is always frightened.

It's a SpeedMod kernel.

So if I get it right?
If anyone is running speedmod v13 and rocket rom v7 u dont need to be afraid of the MMCBUG, and can flash cm9 directly from ICS if rinning Speedmod v4-v13?.
So any kernel with mmc_cap_erase_off isnt able to brick youre device while wiping...
How sure is this? was there any reported bricks from speedmode kernels, or any kernels with mmc-cap-erase-off???
Thanks in advance?
(and yes i did read a lot and Im still confused, i just want to be 100 % sure)
Take care

[Q] Go back to stock kernel

We can many find impressive custom kernel like franco kernel or speedmod in Note. I want to flash one of those great kernel, but just in case, I want to back up my stock kernel because maybe I need to flash It back. Could you tell how to back up my stock kernel and flash my phone back to STOCK kernel ? I have Mobile Odin but never used It yet. I think this thread is about ROM not Kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Thank you
PS :I use N7000DXLP9
As far as I know you cant backup just the kernel. But you can download it from one of the threads in development section if you ever need it again.

You can try ChainFire's CF-Root kernel. That's about as closest as you can, in getting back your stock kernel without flashing back the whole ROM itself.

Yes, stock kernel can alone be flashed without flashing the whole rom, you can download your stock kernel from this thread and then use pc odin (in .tar format) or mobile odin (if in zimage or .tar format) to flash it.

basic Kernel question

I am extracting this specific question from my other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855867&referrerid=1918103
1. how can I tell exactly what kernel I am running? does any part of the code "-N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2"
translate into one of the kernel names that is being tossed about here? (speedmod, abyss et al)
2. and wanting to follow flashing instructions (from 2.36 to stock current ics) to a "t", can I flash any recommended kernel over the one I currently have (see above, which is also no longer stock since I already flashed that but forgot its moniker, btw rooted phone) or is there a one-way caveat?
voila, dumb questions I suppose but at least I hope they're precise;
thx

Go to phone setting, about phone, and then you will see kernel version, the last three letters is the kernel your device is running. For example if it is ics kernel lq3 then it is compatible with cf root 5.6 lq3, if you want to root your phone with CWM recovery. For ics you can use custom kernel regardless what version of kernel it is, meaning it is compatible to any kernel version if it is a custom kernel, by flasing a custom kernel using the pc odin you will root your phone and get CWM recovery also at the same time safe from so called ICS SUPER BRICK BUG.

could you address my question if the kernel KK9 (shich appears on my settings readout) translates to any of the known kernels ie abyss, speedmod or other?
can I keep this very kernel (N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2) and flash a custom ICS via CVM recovery?

KK9 is a gb rom and has a stock gb kernel. Abyss is a gb custom kernel. Speedmod is a custom kernel also. To get a custom kernel must flash first in pc odin.
To root and get CWM recovery read this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Yes you can flash custom ics rom over it using the CWM recovery, pls read the op in the custom rom for the procedure before flashing any custom rom. By flashing a custom ics rom you will get ics kernel, you will not retain the kk9 which is a gb kernel.

that 1st link is the safest and best.
download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....
Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.
If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.
theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM
Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software
Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.
every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug
theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....

So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?
If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?

yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.
yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....
If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....
1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.
first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...
what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.
2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..
if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.
but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom

[HELP] Black screen

Hello there guys.
I just need a little help here.
I rooted my phone for the first time using speedmod kernel then i saw hydracores most recent kernel and i tried it out.
After a day of testing i found out that in my phone it has a camera bug where the image stays on the screen after taking a shot. And based on my experience speedmod kernel is better for me.
So in short, i want to go back to speedmod (currently on hydracore).
I tried to flash it thru mobile, pc odin and even cwm but after reboot, its just black screen after samsung gt n7000 flash screen.
But when i revert back to hydracore using either pc odin or cwm it continues to boot.
Tried this a couple of times but the result is just the same so i have no choice but to stick to hydracore for the mean time.
Questions:
Am i missing some steps or is hydracore kernel preventing me from flashing to a different kernel?
Is there any other way i havent tried to get back to speedmod?
Thanks in advance to those who can help me out. )

you must state what rom are you in... JB ICS OR GB..
Speedmod wont work on JB while Hydracore works on AOSP AOKP CM10 JB. and Hydracore doesnt work in TW JB
if you are on JB of course your phone wont boot if you flashed Speedmod.. Speedmod is for ics.. try flashing compatible kernel for your rom

Im on stock Ics 4.0.4.
Both speedmod and hydracore are working fine on my note, my concern is that i cant revert back to speedmod from hydracore.
if you are on hydracore v7,the you need to flash a revert.zip file from the hydracore thread followed by the speedmod kernel.
as v7 has updated drivers, you need to revert back before flashing a kernel with old drivers.

Need some clarification , hardbrickbug JB?

Hi. I am new into flashing in Android and considering of flashing to another rom , sweet rom to be exact. But there's this hard brick bug that is preventing me to do so. I am currently on Stock Jelly bean and it's too laggy , that's the reason why i wanted to flash to another Rom.
Anyway , is the JB kernel still not safe? As shown in the thread of sweet rom , it states there i would just have to flash my current stock kernel to Philz JB Kernel , to proceed into wipe. Some of the instructions are so foreign to me. Is the risk there? Also , i tried Chainfire's gotbrickbug app and it states i do have. That's why i am afraid into further flashing before i get some more information since i am still a newbie!
Thanks in advance bros!
hi,
asfar as i know you just have to flash a safe kernel

after flashing you have the CWM, from there you can flash every ROM you want
I rooted on ICS 4.0.4 with CWM.zip x) not recommended because the kernel isnt safe (?), but it worked for me

Hmm , SweetROM instructions states to flash Philz JB kernel before wiping and then flashing? Sorry man , i'm quite a bit confused!
you can flash any safe kernel first,, philz or speedmod or hydracore.. as when you install the new rom.. it will replace the kernel with its own
