Hi guys
Just wondering how I should upgrade my note to ICS?
I am currently on the stock AUS GB rom with Hardcore's speedmod kernel k2 12 I have been waiting a while to do the upgrade as I'm a little scared to flash since I heard of the bricking bug. I have downloaded the got brick bug app from chainfire post and i do have the bricking bug hardware in my gnote
I have also put off the upgrade as I haven't found a stock AUS ICS rom that is available from sam firmwares or the stock rom post by dr ketan.
I phoned Vodafone today to ask if they have released ICS for the samsung galaxy note and they told me that they have, so any ideas on what I should do?

download your preferred ics rom, (I prefer kingdroid 4.4 with speedmod k3-7 kernel combo)
put the rom and the kernel to your sd card.
So you are on gb rom with speedmod. go to recovery, flash jbdroid kernel cleaning script after that do a factry reset ( you do no need to wipecaceh and dalvik coz' jbdroid kernel cleaning scrip does it )
afeter facory reset install the rom, install jbdroid kernel cleaning script and install the preferred ics kernel and reboot.
while you are on ics and want to wipe I HIGHLY prefer to you flash abyss 4.2 touch recovery and wipe there!!!
Flash your ics rom from PC Odin and never ever wipe data /factory reset
If u follow the instructions right then u face no problems

hi danteoo7 I also read the same information on another thread about never wiping data which a reason why I posted this :|. So why should I download the ICS rom and use pc odin over a recovery or mobile odin?
Refer to this thread
Refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151
Because Samsung stock rom kernel have emmc brick bug problem which can brick your mobile and its a hard brick not recoverable by jig ...
And PC Odin is always safer than mobile Odin ..

I flashed gingerbread and rooted my note a long time ago using dr.ketan method and now i want to flash a custom ICS with all the bloatware removed,
Ive forgotten the procedure now as its been so long, basically im worried about the unsafe kernels and also now ive read about the CWM.zip not being safe I have CWM installed on mine as well as HC-kTool, can some kind soul show me the steps to get a safe ICS running?
ive listed all the info below
many thanks
to root i used - DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
android version 2.3.6
PDA:N7000XXLA6
PHONE:N7000XXLA4
CSC:N7000XEULA1
KERNAL: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566

All gb kernels are safe to flash
So you can simply do all wipes and flash a custom ics rom
If you flash stock ics rom,then you need to flash a safe kernel.All stock ics kernels are unsafe to wipe
evening ppl ... i have Galaxy Note with Rooted ISC 4.0.4 UAE Stock rom ,, and i have Speedmod Kernel Installed and ofc i got the yellow tringle and removed by tringle remover ... now i wanna re install 4.0.4 Stock rom with it basic kernel so it ok to do that even if i wiped cash and data ?? or my device with be Brick ,, !! ??
Ty alot Cheers
the wipe cache data had been done on speedmod kernel right?
no issues, just flash the stock ics rom again using pc odin and it will revert back to stock. After this do not wipe anything
Hi everyone, I don't have my Galaxy Note since 2 weeks. I've left my phone at Samsung Warranty because, like some of Note users, i had the USB port broken, so in this week i'm going to have a new replacement Note probably with GingerBread. I will flash Jelly Bean when i get it, but i dont know if with these steps will work (without bricks):
Assuming that i'm coming from Ginger 2.3.6
1: Download Samsung Drivers (kies) and ODIN 3 3.0.4
2: Install ICS XXLRQ with ODIN
3: Flash CF-Root with ODIN too.
4: Flash Philz Kernel XXLRQ with the CWM of Cf Root
(this is THE question: Flashing Philz kernel in Cf-Root, will make my phone safe for wiping? or i need some other thing?)
5: Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik.
6: Format Preload and System
7: Reboot Recovery
8: Flash XXLSA/LS7 (because XXLSA seems to be very buggy and a lot of people says the phone reboots randomly and stucl at Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000)
Is there any risk if i do these steps?
Thanks! Sorry my bad english!
Greetings from Argentina!!
no need for step 3
just flash philz lrq in stock recovery
rest should be ok and safe
nonono, will loose warrantee, but for the lovebof your note
root first, efs backup on and off the phone. Then the rest.

No need to even root. Download from sammobile.com and install it via Odin.
By the time that you got your phone back, many of us will be using LSC instead of LSA. But I guess the steps will remain the same.

After flash using Odin, the Stock Jelly Bean will still have the brick bug? We still need to flash Philz safe kernel after upgraded to leaked Jelly Bean rom.
Correct me if wrong.
Yes....flash philz 3.71 kernel for XXLSA

I understand you might be a little shaky to flash JB over GB esp. with a new note at hand
It is safe to wipe using GB kernels, so for starters, DO NOT flash ICS or ICS kernels
1- you need to root your phone first, try dr.ketan thread for safe rooting on GB
2- download a flashable ZIP ROM for JB XXLSA e.g. Ultimate v5 or SweetROM v2.5 (I personally recommend sweetROM, great work by not-i)
3- do a full wipe (factory, cache and dalvick cache) - you might want to do it three times in a row just in case so that you won't get a bootloop
4- Format System & preload
4- flash the new ROM and you got XXLSA
I am not quite sure about the safety of jelly bean kernels, I still revert to abyss if I want to flash a ROM or do a wipe.. but that's just me
Good luck with your brand new Note

Ok, so I'm decided: I'm going to flash XXLSA or XXLS7 (Because i have the 2 roms) via Ginger Bread. I will root my phone with AbbysNote like the first time (a lot of months ago) and then after wipes and formats i will flash JB. I Cant wait to have my new note in my hands, and yes, i'm very shaky because i will Root and flash everything at one time and too fast, (i detest GingerBread since i know the existence of Jelly Bean)...
Thanks everbody for the help!
PD: (May be in two weeks i will have my brand new Note...)
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
(i prefer K5-5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181599 - touristinparadise.blogspot.de/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-note-jb-download.html) trough odin.
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
