If you have a backup, you can flash Philz kernel if you are not already running and restore it. Flashing stock firmware with Odin PC is fine also, but you will lose data.

Stock ICS kernel is not safe, JB devs are not sure yet. So, I would recommend to flash Philz kernel in stock recovery, then reboot recovery, do a full wipe and there you can re flash stock firmware.
That is the safest way to do it. DO NOT WIPE in stock kernel.

ODIN is always safe, but stock ICS kernel it is not....take that into consideration before wiping data.

Well the odin way, is the safest way in my opinion.
Flash a safe kernell and then Flash the gb rom you wish via odin.

thank for your anwser
I wondering why flash a safe kernel before?
I can just flash the full stock rom via odin on a dangerous kernel right?
Straigh way flash any stock GB ROM with PC Odin.
Very likely you will face force closes after flashing GB stock ROM, nothing to worry, just reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data, everything will be fine. Remember wiping should only perform on GB ROM.
So thank you very much everybody
so i flash the rom via odin , so the flash pass, aftert i get a bootloop on samsung logo so i shutdown my device, and
press home and power button and volume up and select wipe data and wipe cache
reboot the device and everythings is fine

As long as you flash with odin, no need to flash safe kernel as odin does not uses recovery, but it is not advised to flash stock ICS as you may have to wipe immediately after flash. And wiping on stock ics can brick your Note.

Most of the times we may have to wipe in stock recovery after flashing stock rom using odin (specially if flashing over custom roms or flashing GB over ICS), and we all know that Samsung ICS kernels are not safe to wipe, it may brick your device if you have to wipe in ICS stock recovery.
Best is to first flash GB, wipe and then flash ICS using odin.

[Q] Reverting to Stock ROM

HI guys, I've just sold my Note (I know, I know) and want to revert to stock ICS before sending. I've got CWM with a custom ROM. I think I read somewhere that all I need to do to revert to Stock is flash a Stock ROM?
Is that it? Will this wipe CWM etc? Anyone have a guide I could follow please?
Download the stock rom from samfirmware.com and install it using pc odin.
I recommend installing a GB rom and the reboot into recovery and do a factory reset.
connect to pc and format usb storage.

Cheers mate, any reason to go GB rather than ICS? If I revert back to GB could I then update to ICS via OTA?
reason is its safe to do a factory reset in GB and not safe in ICS. to do a factory reset in ICS, u will need to install a diff kernel
yes kies or OTA will be applicable.

Awesome, I am running Hydracore, which I thought was ok, doesn't matter better to be safe then sorry. Thanks again
Hydracore is a safe kernel and you can flash a stock rom
But it think its not required to be on a sfe kernel when you are about to flash a stock rom through pc odin

universal kernel

iam now on jb rom rr version and i want to go back to gb.if i flashed the new hydra version 7 is it safe to go back?

the phone won't boot if u install hydracore. why do you want to flash a kernel? to go to stock you need to use pc odin.
whay?hydra is a safe kernel am i right?and i want to return to gb and from there to flash a stock ics

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
iam confused ...so now flash the hydra 7 do wipe data and flash from odin?

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

What kernel do you have? by the way there is official JB now
You can use PC odin to install ICS stock.. but will beed wipes before that so make sure you have safe kernel ..
I have philz kernel. So can i just flash stock ICS rom over jb rom?
if you have philz kernel.. first boot into recovery and .. then Philz settings > clean before new rom install...
once done.. choose advanced and reboot download
this will put the phone in download mode.. connect to pc and flash rom using odin
Ok thanks i will try
Ok.. by the way there is official JB now.. why you going to ICS?
Maybe I'm or i just I don't know something but you say I can just flash official firmware over leaked version yes?
yes. but its recommended to perform wipes

If you are on JB with a safe kernel Philz.. then you can flash that rom directly without the need to downgrade

My GT N7000 is currently on 4.1.2. And the performance is disappointing.
I would prefer to simply revert back to gingrbread 2.3.6 (the version with which the phone was released).
is it possible to simply odin it back ?
i havent rooted my phone.
yeah simply flash GB with Odin
If it stuck after flashing at samsung logo, just reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data.
