My question: I have a SGN infected with the eMMC bug, and I want to upgrade it to the latest stock ROM. I know very little about flashing, and I know there are some risks when doing some things. I would like to know if the first link is safe for me, and which ROM I should use of the ones listed there (I live in The Netherlands). Do you guys have any tips or some guides made for the noobs among us?
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

With Mobile Odin Lite you need to flash the kernel and so it directed me to the thread on here.
So I downloaded the kernal from the thread on here and tried to Flash with Rom Manager.
But Rom Manager can't flash it because it boots into 3E recovery.
So I put the kernal on my sd card, went into 3 finger CWM recovery and tried to flash it manually. But it said installation aborted.
So is there any way I can overcome this problem? I need it, of course, to flash the ics leak today?
Thanks for any help!

What are you on about here? You don't need any specific kernel to be able to flash ICS. It contains its own kernel in the Rom.
However, I would advise you not to download the ICS Rom from sammobile and flash blindly, because you'll lose root (if you have it). Better to wait for one of the Devs (probably chainfire) to double-check if the already rooted ICS CF kernel can be used for the new leak or not.
More than likely, they will create a repack of the ICS Rom, containing the root kernel inside. Now, you should download this repack and flash it using Mobile Odin.
So forget about flashing any kernels in advance, just sit tight and wait.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. You can flash from Sammobile and not lose root if you use mobile odin. I'm trying to use mobile odin lite but with lite you need to flash a mobile odin kernal before you can use mobile odin. I cant flash that kernal and need help as to how as then i can flash ics without loosing root or hassle.

I want to revert back to Stock GB from CM9. .Can i flash with mobile Odin??
flashing with Pc odin gives yellow triangle. .I dont want to that
It is not flashing with Odin that gives the red triangle. It is rooting your phone that does it. I used Odin to get rid of the red triangle (though the phone obviously still retains it's custom binary count)
I just downloaded the following ROM and flashed it with ODIN -
N7000XXLC1---------2.3.6-------2012 March----------N7000OXALC1-----------Open Europe----------------------------- Download (wipe)
I lost the triangle, lost root and gained a stock Galaxy Note.
Flashing stock Roms using PC Odin never gives you the triangle. Flashing custom kernels, Roms does.

Just as he said.. but if don't wana use Odin at all..then download the custom gb rom you want and download abyss3.9 kernel in your SD card..den do the following steps..
1.. go to recovery
2.. flash abyss kernel 3,9..
3.. don't reboot system...DONT...!!..
4.. go to advanced and select reboot recovery.. you will then reboot to abyss cwm recovery
5.. flash the gb rom you just downloaded..and reboot..
Okay first of all, flashing ANY STOCK ROM with PC Odin won't increase your binary counter, i.e. no yellow triangles.
Flashing ANYTHING (ROM obviously) with Mobile Odin won't give you the yellow triangle. Flashing non-stock or custom ROM with PC Odin will increase your binary counter.
So, just download any stock GB ROM from the development section and flash it with PC Odin. Simple!
I'm on Stock GB and wanna try CM9 ICS & other ICS roms... I know i have to flash Chainfire repack first, but which..?! There are more than one version...

Flash it with Mobile Odin (Pro recommended) keeping all the options of Everroot checked. DONT flash with PC odin ...u wont get root if you do that.
Reboot and let the rom settle. Then go to recovery and then flash Stunner or any other ics rom you want.
Cheers! Enjoy your Note.
Hit thanks if it helped
I'm late in the discussion but this topic interests me.
But why can't you just restore Nandroid back using CWM from your GingerBread backup Nandroid?
(you did Nandroid your previous GB rom before you went to ICS, correct?)
i am form india and i have just updated my note to ics through odin.
now i have rooted it with dr ketan guide but havent flash cwm?this is different from ohter phone?then i read that bug kernel that can permenantly make my phone dead so what should i do to get cwm???
my kernel version is 3.0.15-n7000DDLPA-CL711285.
what will be the next step?is it must for me to change kernel and how will i get cwm?i read read and reread that post but little confused.
Install Mobile Odin and flash your kernel of choice through there - I did the same yesterday, Updated to 4.0.4, rooted with Dr. K's Temp CWM to inject SUperSU and then used mobile Odin to Flash SpeedMod K3-11..
Just remember DO NOT WIPE / FACTORY RESET on STOCK ICS Otherwise you will brick your phone..

And also never do any nandroid restore on unsafe kernel.
If you scare about the hardbrick issue, just follow dr.ketan method to unroot the phone.
If you wanna more secure, download any stock ics rom from sammobile.com and flash it thru pc odin. It wont give you any binary count increase and yellow triangle.

Some Kernels are "Safe" to wipe on (SpeedMod/NoteCore etc) - I personally always downgraded to GB to do wipes / factory resets.
I believe there's a Mobile Odin Lite on this forum - you can grab it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

There are other methods, but if you have the time this is the safest way for me still..
But - there are usually full instructions on the ROM threads so as long as you follow those you should be ok

Rocketrom comes with philz kernel and it is brickfree..So you can directly flash gb rom using pc odin
Hydracore doesnt work with leaked jb roms
when using pc odin, it doesn't require you to be on a safe kernel
its possible to returen to ics stock from jb? i looked and the guide says that you have to be on gb and from there flash ics
pc odin can flash stock rom on the phone no matter what rom you are on.
are you sure?the guide says the you have to be on gb first,so just to put the tar file in pda?

You can flash ics directly from jb..but i guess you will get a bootloop
You can flash a safe kernel,then do a factory reset and it boots up successfully

Use PC Odin to flash stock ICS directly. No intermediate steps, like flashing a custom kernel or going back to GB, are needed.

I guess he gets a bootloop after he flash ics..and he need to flash a safe kernel to do wipes..isnt it??
May be, but that's a step after flashing ics. I don't know why op wants to flash hydracore before using pc odin
too many ideas.i afraid to try it.
there are not many ideas.
All comes to one. Don't confuse yourself
put phone in download mode
connect to pc
open odin and select the rom file in the pda tab
flash
once done, don't do any wipes till you install a safe kernel
Hello, I'm currently using a G Note on [email protected] ICS, Build Number IMM76D.XXLRK.
I'm thinking about updating to the JB leak for The G Note but im worried about bricking my phone can anyone tell me what the chance of it bricking is? and how id go about changing my firmware from this rom?
Thankyou.
Flash Philz kernel.
Full wipe and flash whichever ROM you want.....
Also, use search as this question has been asked many times in the past
If you have speedmod kernel the chance of bricking its 0... And if you want the ODIN official JB leak just go Odin mode power+home+volume down then flash.. You don't need to wipe going from Ics to JB TW

No, you should allways follow the installation instructions in the specific thread for the JB Custom Rom you want.
If you choose the XXLSA leak from sammobile.com (that was the base leak for all following XXLSA/C Custom Roms) then you can use Mobile Odin - I did this many times without problems.

Mobile odin and pc odin is similar.
The only different from what I know is.... with mobile odin you can keep ur root, and flash custom kernel.
Whereby with pc odin, all will be brand new. No root, stock kernel.
If ur device is rooted alrd, and u have cwm recovery installed, why don't u choose custom rom, and just flash it from cwm recovery?
Easier, fast, no headache.
Custom rom has some tweaks that might improve performance.
But choice is urs. Good luck mate.
Sent from my GT-N7105 at the corner of this rounded earth
I prefer Mobile odin if already rooted as this way we can change the kernel at the time of flash to be safe
