hi every body i'm new member and it's first time to make update to my galaxy note GT-n7000
i c in topic steps to make that update but i don't understand what i need to do for this step
Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK
if any one can tell me more about that what is this and how can i do this?? thank u
Which rom are you trying to flash? What that means is not to flash from a stock ics kernel as it will result in a superbrick. You need to first flash a safe kernel such as phillz or hydracore, unless you're on gb in which case you're safe to flash.

remeber to flash from any ICS rom it is always advice to flash using a safe kernel to prevent brick

Can't flash from stock anyway. Zip wont pass signature verification. I think that warning is aimed at people using cf-root or old franco/speedmod kernels before CAP-ERASE was disabled.

that warning is for anyone thats on stock ICS and wants to flash a custom rom, whether CM or TW based. And yes also those old kernels. If you want CM9, download the CM9 kernel from here and, put it in your sd card, and flash from recovery. Reboot BACK into recovery, don't reboot the phone. Make sure you download the CM9 rom and gapps, and put it your sd card before. Then wipe data, and flash CM9 once back into recovery. The same way if you want CM10. You can also use the Universal Hydracore kernel
how can i know my ROM???

Settings - About phone. Are you on stock? Non-rooted? If stock and non rooted, then first flash Philz ICS kernel based on your current firmware. It will give you root, then wipe cache/dalvik after. Then reboot your phone, let it settle for a few minutes, then go back to recovery and flash CM9/CM10/Hydracore kernel, reboot back into recovery, then flash whatever rom you want, with the neccessary wipes. Its safe to flash from the philz kernel as well, but its hex patched, still could be unsafe to wipe from..
Also, if you want CM10/Jellybean, then you must either use the CM10 or hydracore kernel, don't flash cm10 from the philz kernel

Yes Entropy512 has expressed his doubts about the safety of so called "hex hacked" kernels (ie: offending brickbug byte changed fro a one to a zero), but he also says the only way to test for safety is to wipe and hope the phone doesn't freeze. Well I have done heaps of wipes on Philz kernels and no problems, but that could just be luck right? So for further confirmation of safety, I flashed CWM.zip ( the lethal one that Entropy has banned and has bricked heaps of phones) on a Philz kernel. From there I did Factory Resets, wipes, formatting of partitions, you name it and all operations passed in a breeze. If Brickbug wasn't disabled, I would have bricked on the first Factory reset. Philz kernels are definitely safe:good:

I read that and was very worried. As it is Entropy who wrote it . He is very well respected. Like he says just because you got away with it does not mean the next guy will.
I've read of phones bricked on hex hacked kernels. Can't see how if the 0 is changed but it does happen. The guy should read Entropy's post.

The whole point about Brickbug is that it has to meet certain criteria to activate, you wouldn't experience a brick off one flash necessarily, it could be the nth time you wiped that you meet those criteria there's just no way to know.
Saying that, I've not read of any bricks from phillz so believe it to be safe.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
The case of the guy bricking on Philz was due to transferring videos, nothing to do with wiping or flashing in recovery. Could have happened (and still will) to anyone on any kernel with faulty hardware. Totally unrelated to emmc brickbug.

hi there,
first off, im sorry for being a total noob.
i was trying to look for a full guide to install Criskelo ICS ROM v2.
i found an online guide from the site rootgalaxynote dot com
but its for the older version.
i was wondering if i can do this step but install using the V2 or follow the steps, install the older version then use clockworksmod to load v2?
once again, please accept my apologies as i have never touched an android in my life.. im so new, my note is still in the mail and i havent even received it yet.
Go the the development section find criskelo v2 and follow the instructions in the first post? Why go to another site when the instructions are right here

then i download the ics repack by chainfire and the criskelo v2 mod

Very simple as ABC.
First you use PC odin and flash a single file called chain fire repack.tar
This ROM is already rooted.
Boot up and install triangleaway1.25.apk
Copy your ROM to SDcard
Reboot to recovery using the CWM app in Your note
Wipe data.factory reset wipe the other one below the list. I forgotten the name
Wipe devalik cache from advance settings
Install the zip file called Criskelo or any other ROM from Sdcard.
Once you are done reboot and enjoy your new rom.

This does however increase the binary counter thus voiding warranty. By taking some extra steps you'll be able to upgrade to any ICS rom without increasing the binary counter.
What I did was I flashed one of the pre-rooted roms found in a thread in the dev section. After that I flashed the CF Root kernel for the rom I installed (I used the pre-rooted LA6 rom so I used the CF kernel for LA6).
Now you have full root and CWMR so you can flash any rom you like. For ICS roms, install Mobile Odin, flash the ICS LP1 repack, reboot to recovery, do a full wipe and install any ICS rom you want to try.
Pre-rooted stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
For CF-Kernel check step two "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" of this thread and download the appropriate files for the pre-rooted kernel you flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

To my knowledge Triangle Away only does exactly what is says, it will remove the yellow triangle after you've flashed a custom kernel through pc Odin and thus having triggered the binary counter. To my knowledge Triangle Away is not able to reset the counter though I could be wrong as I've never used it myself. There is however a thread explaining how to remove both the triangle and reset the counter using a usb JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
Counter is reset
using triangle away does reset the counter as well as removing the triangle also says your rom is samsung original even if it is not!.
you must use the correct ics version to do this one that does work is I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK worked just fine on my note. It does not work on all current versions of ICS. enjoy
Thanks a lot for the info! I really didn't know and I thought I read somewhere that it didn't reset the counter.
does the triangle away work for GB phones? just wondering
No

Other way you could try
Hi, maybe you already flashed, but this is how I did it. No problems at all.
Starting from stock GB. (Or you can flash stock through ODIN)
Used CF-Root to get Root and CWR on the phone.
Downloaded and flashed Abyss Kernel 4.2
rebooted recovery
flashed ICS ROM from sdcard.
Worked perfectly well for me.
Hope this helps.

As soon as you flash the rom, abyss kernel will be overwitten (you get CWM).
Now a piece of advice, there are great risk on flashing any rom based on leak repack, there is an issue with the kernel and the eMMC, which basically can fry your phone (if you are unlucky).
I personally decided to flash back to stock GB.... just in case. I'm not willing to gamble with my note, but that is me.

its was on Stock ICS , flashed note at&t custom rom hybrid
unable to flash wipe rom.... odin stuck at data.img
Well, what happened?
I am stuck on the boot screen as well.
Did you performed Full Wipe on ICS Stock Rom ? If so then its unfortunate to say your note might be bricked.

Hi guys,
I normally try and work this stuff out for myself (as you can tell by my join date and my post count) but this has me stumped..
I was attempting to change ICS rome and somewhere in the process something went wrong...
After many unsuccessful attempts of flashing, stock ICS & GB, Abyss.. I checked the partions for errors and found the actual size of p-10 was different than the reported size by 1kb.
So, tried the e2fsck fix- it reported that it had corrected some errors.. I tried flashing again and agin- no success.
I then deleted the partitions, recreated them and reformatted in CWM. ADB reports no errors on any partition. When I try to load an ICS rom, it installs then hangs when it gets to the screen where you select the language.
I can successfully install a GB rom, but after a couple of minutes I start getting errors- then the affected app closes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I can successfully flash a stock GB rom with PC Odin, but it hangs on the boot screen( so I can't install dmmc test).
I have tried everything I can think of, just waiting on a jig to come in the mail so I can reset my counter for warranty
If you find a solution please post it.

hi,
after reading so many post on rooting and secure kernels I am still unsure if I lose root, if I flash abyss kernel after beeing rooted (Super Su Busybox).
As I want to do back ups as well as restores I think I need a secure Kernel after rooting. (I am on stock ICS LPF rooted).
Again I am not installing any MOD or ROMS just a rooted Stock ICS.

Do not use abyss as safe kernel for your ics it will not boot up. Use speedmod k3-6 or goku as a safe kernel. Use abyss only for wiping purposes and then flash a custom rom.
thx, that's important info. will try to find those kernels.
If you do have a link just in your hands would be nice if you could copy it for me.

Do you mean to use only stock kernel and use abyss only when trying to install any custom ROMs. Is it not possible to use CWM instead of abyss kernel to flash the custom rom. is abyss kernel is just another method to root the note?
Hi,
I think I have problem here...
I have official ICS 4.0.3 (XXLQ2) and CF-Root,
I just flashed with abyss kernel and phone is not booting....
How can I flash to another kernel? I tried Volume down, Power and home button, but I got in download mode...
and also, which is safe kernel to use?
I flashed CF-root kernel by ODIN and now it boots normally
Basically Abyss is kernel for GB. That is the reason why every one advise when ICS rom, if you flash Abyss, do not leave CWM but reboot (not device) but the recovery. and after wiping flash the custom ICS immediately. I suggest you go back to GB and upgrade to ICS officially, and get rooted. (but remember ICS stock ROMs are not safe for backup, specially restoring, since you mentioned backups)

Well, thanks for the various info, however, my problem is still not solved.
Just to avoid misunderstandings I say it again: I do not want to install a custom kernel or so. Just keep my stock ICS rooted. But.... of course I would like to have the possibility to make backups and restore. As this involves the risk of bricking my device, I want to install a Kernel, which is at least considered to be safe ( I know no guarantee at all).
So the advice from "Jonpaslim" seems to be the answer.
this brings me to another problem........ I am in China, so I can't download from File-sharing services, as they are blocked. i can download from drop box, box or any other server also from xda......but I couldn't find a usable link for the k3-6 or Goku. those files don't seem to be so big ones. I wonder, if it may be possible for s.o. here to upload to a private cloud like dropbox or box or sugar sync etc.. and give me the download link.
I thank you for all your efforts in advance

i'm going to buy note in just few days probably tomrw
i will buy it on gb version
so what i want to know exactly

2. if i want to flash any of ics version first i have to flash abysskernel is it ok (means is it brick proof method)
3.abyss kernel is best for upgrade and downgrade and to do nandriod backup with full wipe and it does not brick the device, as much i have read about all this thing, is my knowledge about note to upgrade, downgrade is ok
4.after upgrading to any ics custom rom from gb version i have to keep rom on speedmod kernel is it totaly safe method, and in future if i want to downgrade from ics to gb again i have to flash abyss or same can be done by speedmod
5.speedmod kernel is safe to do full wipe or to flash any modification not the rom
or lastly should i keep my device on gb version without root and wait for expert dev or team samsung to provide us with best solution to keep our device bug free
plz guys appropriate answer will be appreciated
thanks in advance

1. if i root the gb version with chainfire method of rooting (is it safe to go and keep the device brick bug free) or any other method should i follow
2. if i want to flash any of ics version first i have to flash abysskernel is it ok (means is it brick proof method)
3.abyss kernel is best for upgrade and downgrade and to do nandriod backup with full wipe and it does not brick the device, as much i have read about all this thing, is my knowledge about note to upgrade, downgrade is ok
4.after upgrading to any ics custom rom from gb version i have to keep rom on speedmod kernel is it totaly safe method, and in future if i want to downgrade from ics to gb again i have to flash abyss or same can be done by speedmod
5.speedmod kernel is safe to do full wipe or to flash any modification not the rom
or lastly should i keep my device on gb version without root and wait for expert dev or team samsung to provide us with best solution to keep our device bug free
plz guys appropriate answer will be appreciated
thanks in advance

1. GB ROM,s are safe,
2. If you are upgrading from GB, you don't need abyss kernel, use it own kernel for wiping
3. You are right, abyss kernel is safest, because its a GB ketnel with its own CWM, but note, abyss does not boots ICS
4. Speedmod kernel is safe, but for extra safety use abyss kernel for up/down grading
5. It shoud be safe because buggy feature is disabled, but still I can not find solid confirmation, that hardbrik does not happened on this kernel after multiple .wipe and cache clearing, but, also, I didn't heard that hardbrik happened, so i will use abyss kernel for wiping before solid confirmation, that speedmod kernel is safe

You welcome,
You can upgrade from GB to ISC with samsung Kies,(as i did) it should be safe, anyway, if something goes wrong, you still have valid warranty.
or, you can use abyss kernel and manually upgrade from cwm. (You can find thread, where all stock ICS rom's are listed,
Also, there are a lot of step-by-step instructions on this forum or you can find also video toutorial on youtube or rootgalaxynote.com, just in case, not to forget anything)
I recomend upgrade to ICS, it's way batter than GB.
But after upgrade, you have to move to safe kernel, like speedmod, (already there are several safe roms for ics for example, last one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863)
There are also methods to flush to safe kernel and root without having binary count increased.

:good:
I noticed nothing you mentioned, screen is fine, black and other colors are also fine (at least as i can judge)
Also, I'll recomend GL_NOTECORE, Flash it with ODIN immediately after upgrade to official ICS, you will get root, CWM and MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled, also many extra tweaks and doubled 2D/3D performance
Hi,
First off let me start by apologizing if this has already been covered else where.
My Note is running Stock Offical XXLRB ICS and I was wondering if it is safe from the eMMc bug?
Thanks.
Every stock ICS kernel has eMMc bug ENABLED!! Don't use recovery if you are on stock ICS kernel or you will brick your phone.Flash any safe kernel via PC Odin (NoteCore HydraCore Speed mode) and you will be on safe kernel.

When you say don't use recovery. Does this mean do not perform a factory reset? Also by deleting large files (5GB Media) from my device will this cause this bug to asert it self?

Don't use recovery at all - to be 100% sure and never never never wipe factory from stock ICS kernel.You'll brick your device.
Can't you just delete your large files from any file explorer ?

On the contrary, in my opinion, it's 'Ok" to use clockworkmod recovery as long as you don't perform a factory wipe in it or flash a custom kernel thru it.
You can make a factory reset/wipe in cwmr if and if your using a safe kernel already. If your on an unsafe ICS kernel? then flash first a safe one (thru PC Odin) and from there on, it's now generally safe to factory reset your device in recovery.
Imho....
There is always a chance to brick your phone with stock kernel.Depends how lucky you are.I super bricked my device twice and I'm not flashing anything from ICS kernel anymore.Simply there are many safe kernels but I'm just more responsible now.

Thanks for everyones help. I flashed the latest Speedmod which is deemed safe.
Okay before asking me to do "search" I have to state that I searched the whole Galaxy Note forum and got a handful of search results. I went thru most of the search results-majority of which asked me to install Philz kernel. I find Philz kernel to be the easiest way. Anyway, my questions now, if I want just to install ONLY CWM either touch or non touch version, how can I do that? I also do not want the odin way as that would increase binary or result in yellow triangle. Is there any other way to install via stock recovery or maybe mobile odin?
I have JB LSB UAE version rooted using Root supersu by chainfire.
i used cf-root kernel using pc odin during GB as that was the easiest way that time. until now, i haven't encountered any problem

Please confirm that it works on jb ? Chainfire has not provided any version for JB yet. Until then it might not be safe to use. Even that thread suggest philz.

I'm also interested in a way to flash cwm recovery or even update the recovery without flashing kernels.

best you go to phillz thread in development, its got a standalone recovery and read the warnings, thats why bestest flash a kernel with it, and not some dodgy temp cwm. zip
just now i've read somewhere in xda the same issue of installing some sort of cwm.zip (blah) which says that installing the file might brick the phone. just read OP and you'll be safe

Will brick. Too many have been burned already.
@OP why don't you just install philz kernel ? Recoveries are usually bundled with the kernel. Its extremely hard to just 'update' the recovery without changing kernel. Of course, rules are different for devs...

On galaxy Note 1 the recovery (cwm) is not a separate partition like some devices. It is part of th e kernel. So you need a custom kernel to have a custom recovery. Both Cfroot and Philz use a stock kernel with a custom recovery. Either of these will be fine for what you want.
