I have tried Teamhacksung, ICSSGS, Fusion, and a few others, but every one I flash leaves me with the same problem. I never had it on and Gingerbread roms or froyo.
My phone is constantly shutting off at random times during the day with no explanation. One minute I'm using my phone and the next it's just off. It's never shut off while I'm using it but if I set it down and come back to it later it will be off.
Anyone else had this happen to them and possibly find a solution?
Try flashing a different kernel??

Should have mentioned I tried that as well, but not many. If you have one to recommend I'd try anything.
I would say try using the glitch kernel. And btw are you on GB bootloaders?

I' using Glitch right now and I have no idea about the bootloaders. How should I find out?

He has to be if he has flashed ICSSGS successfully.
But the random shutdowns and things like that are typical bugs of beta ROMs. I remember having these problems all the way back in froyo. Try different setups with kernels and see whats the most stable for you. If you have to have a rom that never messes up try a gingerbread based ROM until ICS gets a litte more stable. Also if you are overclocking or undervolting I highly suggest removing them both to improve stability.
I just got my new galaxy note. International version. Its currently running on stock GB out of the box,unrooted. Kernel version is 2.6.35.7 that is its running on stock GB kernel aswell.
The first thing i did was install the brick bug app and it gave me the result saying my emmc chip is having the brick bug,even when im on stock kernel n FW.

Which GB kernel should i install so that im safe? I searched but was not able to find appropiate solution. which thread should i refer to?
Cheers.!!
afair GB is safe, but don't trust anybody ;-), first place to start is sticky in General section by Entropy 512

I know that a wipe through cwm may cause the brick bug. But a simple factory reset to the phone can also cause it to occur?
I might be terribly wrong, but my understanding is that both cwm wipe and factory reset done from affected ICS ROMs may result in superbrick, GB is considered safe (does not contain the feral command affecting the emmc), that's why most threads on ICS update suggest changing ICS ROMs via GB

Yeah maybe they must be safe,but when i installed the superbrick app from chainfire it showed that my phone was prone to bricking.
Since im on stock gb,il root my device and install the PARANOIDANDROID rom to be on the safe side. will that work ?
gotbrick app shows if you have the affected hardware, it does not mean that any operation will result in brick, it means there is a probability that this may happen when you attempt to flash or wipe using ICS kernel (the thread I mentioned is here),
since you plan to go from GB to ICS, there is no direct risk, at least no related to known causes of superbrick,
anyway, to spare yourself unnecessary panic attacks in the middle of flashing - before you attempt to flash anything read instrutions until you feel comfortable

I already read that thread. It says all GB kernels are safe. Since im on GB,il stay like this till the time any permanent solution comes up or will change to PARANOIDANDROID rom after reading how.! thank you for your help! Since i got the note today only i dont want to mess it up the very next day!
appreciate your help. thank you very much !
If its your first day, then I'd definitely recommend staying on GB for a few weeks, until you get bored with it, stock roms are not that bad, especially when you disable unnecessary crapware

It can occur with wipe cache/wipe data/factory reset/deleting big file, even it is recommended not to use recovery at all.

slight in-and-out movement is ok, side-to-side not, but if it does not does disturb your writing/sketching let it be, impresses you have Samsung service centre nearby

Hey Guys
So Listen I Have The CM9 Paranoidandroid V0.4 And I Started Hearing About The Official ICS Coming From Samsung The Official So What Do You Think Should I Switch To The Stock And Try The Samsung Firmware Or Should I Stay On Paranoidandroid Which Is Better I Cant Say Please Help Me
Cm9 is ics more like intended, paranoid is same with tweaksettings ability.
Stock is how Samsung intended it. Which means looks practically as previous version roms lol

Well in touchwiz you can use:
1.full spen functionality
2.wifi direct
3.and some minor things

If you like touchwizz, then go for stock, that's the only real benefit. There are a lot of problems with stock ics, superbrick bug that could damage your device, wifi problems, general degradation over time.
CM roms including paranoid are as ics was meant to be and very stable. I have no idea what the guy above means by risks? There aren't any, it's safer than stock.
Like I say it comes down to touchwizz vs stock whichever you prefer.

Ok thanks for the info it really helped dude
I find here this emmc bug is killing everyone.
I bought this GN just 2 weeks ago.at begining it came with GB installed.i recieved ota update in the same day for ics.so i did it.
After updating i did factory reset the device without knowing that there is a danger to damage the device.
Then i tried to root and installed some other kernels with cwr, which was another mistake.and finally flash it again with stock rom.but this time no wipe!
So the phone is not in clean state.
I read that one way to avoide damaging the device is to flash it with GB rom and then wipe then flash it again with ics one.all by pc odin.
But my problem is i cant find the original GB Rom to do it.
Is it important to flash with original or i can do it with any stock GB rom?
And is there any kernel based on stock kernel which has no mod no tweak and stuff but safe to wipe?i mean with mmc earase disabled.

Here's the link where you can find stock GB (Courtesy of doc Ketan) ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 Find your Stock ROM (based on your region)
Let me clear out some wrong notions spreading before.... you can safely WIPE your phone even on ICS as long as you have installed a safe kernel on to your device. You don't necessarily need to go to STOCK GB and do the wipe from there. It is already safe WIPING your phone on ICS just as long as you have the safe kernel installed on your phone.
Safe kernels to mentioned are SpeedMod, HardCore (that is if your in ICS), AbyssNote (if your still on stock GB)
Again no stock GB rom from my country.funny i went to samfirmware before and nothing there also.but for other region there are many!
Current ROM is N7000XXLRI
Which is the only FW from my region.

If you can't find any stock GB from your region then don't fret , Download a direct rootable ROM closest to your region and flash it from there. Remember, your goal is not to say long in GB right? so after you've downloaded a direct rootable GB ROM.. Download back your stock ICS ROM thru PC Odin, ROOT it thru Doc Ketan's thread still and then do a FACTORY wipe after.
P.S. Don't worry about the triangle mark on your boot up screen. You can safely remove that thru ChainFire's TriangleAway app (when your rooted already)
I'll try this.
After all, what do you suggest as a daily driver rom or kernel on GN which is safe and stable to flashing wiping and stuff?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'm using stock LRQ (for now), but I've cooked it and made some big modifications to the ROM itself and now everything's working and my phone ''flies'
For the kernel.. SpeedMod is my truly one option... Stability and battery performance... It never fails on me still.... Any cooked ROMs I'm making or flashing one from our good ROM cookers here on this forum.. This kernel is still my best bet... but hey... this just me okay... if you want other safe kernels out there, feel free to try them out... it's your choice anyway...

Hydracore can be used on all ICS and JB roms (TW, CM and AOKP) another is Speedmod for TW ICS roms, these two are safe and can be used as per your rom. Most of the roms are stable now, it totally depends on you, which one suits your requirements
Edit- letters_to_cleo your invisible status always confuse me, lol.

Is it safe to install a custom rom on n7000, because of it's brickbug? (If yes, please help me how to install and which one to install)
I've never installed any custom ROM nor have i rooted till now. And mine has the 'brickbug'.
And i would also like to know what version OS i wil get on my device and whether the S-Pen feature remain intact ( S-note and
stuff). I just want my note to be smooth, fast and battery miser because i am now on official 4.1.2 it lags a lot and is battery hungary.
Looking forward for detailed help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Yes it is safe to install all recent custom roms. Probably even safer than staying on stock.
Your s-pen will still work, with every rom i tried. however, if you do not go for a stock-based rom, Samsung apps(including S-note) will not.
Also, consider the age of your battery. Your poor battery life may be related to an old battery. (Still, flashing a different rom should improve it.)
1st you need to root your device safely:

Flash philz kernel in recovery and you will be safe from brickbug, although only few cases of brickbug have been reported in JB, it is there on ICS for sure. So just flash philz kernel and reboot recovery before flashing anything from there, then read the instructions in the custom rom thread of your choice and follow.
If you dont mind, can u explain a bit more on how to flash and what exactly it is

I actually prefer this method of rooting, and installing a custom recovery, and "fixing" emmc brickbug all in one flash.
After that, follow the instructions in the first post of the rom you are flashing.

With all that cautions about bricking. And with every thread op that says we are not responsible if you brick your device. People get really scared esp. of they are not fluent in English.
You can't blame them for being extra cautious.
