Find post #2 or 3 on first line of my sign
Download any ROM(GB), preferably your region and flash using PC Odin
You may find force closes or stuck at boot, but nothing to worry. reboot in recovery and wipe cache and data.

Flash a GB rom from ur region and wipe data / dalvik and cache from recovery

thanks for the replies guys, is there any i should avoid causing the brick that affected so many people, or have all the at risk files been removed from xda forum ?

Avoid wipe / reset once you are on stock ICS kernel.

but the other guys said to wipe after i install the stick rom?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

He said you to wipe on gb rom, I advised you not to wipe on stock ics rom.
Got it?
Read post #2 what I did say
I have said same to wipe, but on gb rom only.

That was for stock Gingerbread rom, wipe on GB is safe but it is not safe on ICS. As long as you are on GB roms you can wipe without any issue. So best for you is to download stock Gingerbread firmware for your country from here and then flash it using pc odin, you will find instructions for using odin in same thread.
After flashing GB rom you may face some boot loop or other issue, so in that case just boot in stock recovery (vol up+home+power) and perform full wipe.

[Q] Wiping Galaxy note and upgrading to 4.0.4

Hi all,
I'm giving my Galaxy Note to a friend and I'm wondering what the best way is to wipe my note and install the latest 4.0.4 Stock ICS ROM.
I'm running 4.0.3 XXLPY and I'm not rooted.
Thanks for your help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
flash a safe kernel in ODIN, boot into recovery and do a factory reset along with all caches (including dalvik)
reboot back into download mode and flash the 4.0.4 firmware. easy peasy
I'm not rooted, would flashing just a kernel work via Odin?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
you dont need root, just a sake kernel with cwm built in, such as speedmod , notecore and many more
The best way I feel is downgrade to gb rom do wipe and then upgrade to 4.0.4
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Flash Abyss 4.2... Reboot Recovery Full wipe and flash ROM... Reboot System... Simple as that..
This is what I was thinking... is it safe to downgrade to GB via Odin from an ICS ROM? If so I think that would be easier.

Guys is it safe to downgrade from 4.0.3 ICS to GB via Odin, wipe, then update to 4.0.4?

This works for me..
Because of the brick bug. I was afraid to do any flashes in stock ICS (4.0.3). Anyhow I need to upgrade my Galaxy Note to ICS 4.0.4. And after reading so many threads, Finally I found it is safe to Flash Gingerbread first and do a factory reset and then flash ICS 4.0.4.
ROMs I used to flash,
GB ROM (2.3.6)
N7000DDLB2---------2.3.6-------2012 February-------N7000ODDLA1---------------India---------------------------------Download (Non wipe)
ICS ROM (4.0.4) (Non-wipe)
N7000DXLR6---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2---Download--Sri Lanka
Read dr.ketan's thread for ROMs and more information.

Returning to stock

Hi all,
Thinking of selling my i9000 soon (to upgrade to an S3), before I sell it. I'd like to return it to a stock rom and unroot it (currently on CM9), which stock rom should I use? How do I unroot it, and how do I remove all my personal information?
Thanks in advance

Thanks! Do I need to use a PIT and repartition? Are there any things to look out for since I'm going from ICS to GB, or is it just the same as flashing any other Odin ROM?
Sorry for all the questions
There is no problem to go back to gb from ics if you use odin.just flash it and you are done.

I thought that it is not that easy because some ICS use different filesystems.
If you want to get back to gb custom rom it's difficult.odin is used to flash official firmware.

If you know everything your questions are a surprise.
My answer was short because there really isn't anything more to do. Why should I talk and fill an answer with bloatwords?
Of course you should make backups (in recovery and/or with TB) of your devices and data - but that isn't a "must" only a sign of "diligence".
I heard some ROM doesnt work with philz or blablabla and im just afraid cuz i never try. And another one is i saw some custom mention LSZ or anything else, i afraid that official JB XXLSZ only for XXLSZ and will brick if i flash it on XXLRI. And im asking what to do before flashing, because i thought there would be something i need to install/flash before flashing that official JB. Thx guys

Help me! ASAP

Yesterday i had to rooting my tab and then i founded one trick that i think its a lot easier. Im using CF-Root, then i used to flash with odin. No problem appear after that, but the problem coming after i had to reboot my tab; some sound glitch occur on samsung bootanim, and the last big problem for me is, now i cant turn on my tab again it stuck at bootanim. I know how to fix that problem; just flashing back to stock rom. But, i dont want to do that because i have a ton of games and app who will be disappear if im going to flashing back to stock.
So, anyway that can fix my problem without back to stock? Can someone give me a link about stock or custom gb(2.3.3) kernel? Maybe it can solve my problem. Please someone. Help me

Do you have the exact rom version that you were running? Maybe someone has the Rom, and extracting the kernel is possible.

I repacked the JQ1 euro rom's kernel in a tar
http://goo.gl/Bpmcr
try flash that in Odin like when you did CF-root
Then boot to the stock recovery and do a wipe cache (not sure of stock recovery has that..?)
anyway, try and see.
Else you probably want a restock.
If eventually you want to restock, just follow my signature to Overcome links.

Bricked by downgrading. Help

Hi,
I'd recently tried out CM10 roms on my device. Thought I'd downgrade back to Gingerbread since I felt it to be more stable. I tried reflashing the original 2.3.4 gb via Odin. Now I'm having infinite boot loops. Did I miss anything? I believe this is because of the boot loader being screwed up. Is there an odin file which contains the radio/boot/etc so that I can flash them one by one instead of one single package that I find in other links / sites?
Kindly help.
TIA.
