Hello,
I just rooted my N7000 with Philz kernel (i have root amd cwmr now), to get rid of the brick bug, but chainfires brickbug app says its still there, (I am still on stock rom) See attachment.
Is it really there? Or is it just the firmware, amd cant it harm my device?
Another question, I want to flash cm10.1 official nightly, but do I have to flash another kernel first? Can somebody provide a guide step by step with links, so probably nothing goes wrong?
Thanks in advanced!

It will always say bad chip because the chip is bad. The kernel will suppress the brick bug. So philz is a safe kernel and you will be safe. You can flash cm rom using the same kernel.

Even if it is official cm10.1? Nice

After you install cm10, it will install its own kernel and that's safe too.
If the chip is bad, did you scold it? Did you try giving it a 5 minute timeout?

op for your understanding, the brickbug is caused by a command that triggers faulty command in your emmc firmware, to fix it you need to flash the chip, impossible for 99,9999999999999999999999999999999999999 and so on and so forth%
You can shield that from happening by using a safe kernel (but not if you use a separate cwm. zip, then you can bypass safe kernel)
this means it will never be fixed, just prevented from happening
remember, after you flash safe kernel, reboot on that kernels recovery to be safe

Hi all, i was wondering why i can't just use mobile odin to flash PA on my gnote.
I actually have CM9 RC installed.In the official Thread the guide says "DO NOT
WIPE WITH STOCK SAMSUNG ROM OR CUSTOM ROMS LIKE CM9"...so here is my question, whats the need of Mobile odin? i thought i was a fastest way to flash roms without do the same process all the times...
Im' new to this world, please be kind guys:silly:

You can't flash another ROM from any ICS-based ROM. Some Samsung ICS kernels cause a so called brick bug, which causes your device to brick (read: it won't boot anymore) because Samsung ****ed something up with the internal memory. If you do a full wipe while on a stock or aosp ROM, you risk bricking your device.
The fastest way (it's not really fast tho) to flash other ROM's at this moment is to revert back to a gingerbread rom, root it, get CWM (clockworkmod recovery) and flash your ROM from recovery or odin, whatever you like.
You're now on a ICS based rom (CM9), which means if you attemt to flash another rom now and you need to do a full wipe, chances are you'll end up with a bricked phone.
Try the "revert back to Gingerbread" method to be sure you will not brick your device. There are plenty of tutorials around here to help you along with this method.

So if i understood the issue at the moment its just caused by samsung right? I mean if they are going TO fix this software bug we Will have the chance TO flash directly from mobile odin?

No, it needs to be flashed with cwm. You'll get an unsigned zip error if you try with mobile odin and flash will fail. Follow instructions on all roms and you won't have any problems.

I thought with abyss kernel you can flash with ics?
Woah im a lucky guy that i havent bricked my note.
I flashed a custom rom for the first time ever using a tutorial from roottgalaxynote.com. Everything went fine and I'm using a custom rom now. I was just wondering what the wiping is everybody is talking about. I didn't do any kind of wipe, I just installed the rom on top of the rooted stock rom. It seems to be running fine but II still don't know what a wipe does. Any help for a noob? I thnx
Look if u r on ics then there are risks gb is completely safe from this emmc brickbug
Use abyss kerenl it is known to be a safe kernel if you want to wipe
And if everything is working fine than dont wipe

What do you mean by look if you're on ics. I was on standard ics now on. Criskelorom. I did use the abyss kernel. I'm save from bricking using this kernel right?
There are three separate wipes:
1. Dalvik cache, and cache, clears any settings, usually first port of call if experiencing and boot loops or fc's after flashing (Dalvik wipe only available in advanced recovery, not on stock Samsung e3)
2. Full data wipe, aka factory reset, clears all data and settings off device, returns to stock.
Usually when changing from stock rom to custom or different rom types like aokp to cm9, you can get residue which means you'll often get lots of fc's when you boot up. Most people panic when they experience this and do something stupid and end up bricking. Performing a wipe just clears out any debris that may have been left. If you're running smoothly, there's no need to wipe. And yes, you're safe from emmc brickbug, above poster obviously didn't read the CUSTOM portion of your rom description.

I understand that you installed Criskelo ROM. The OP of the developer clearly mentions that do a full wipe, after you have flashed Abyss 4.2 (RedPill). I think you need to read the sticky thread in the Gnote forum first as well as the Public Service Announcement regarding the brickbug, before you do any kind of flashing in ICS.
For the safety of your Gnote pls. pls. follow the installation instructions to the point otherwise you may just brick your device. Yeah your device may be working correctly right now, but it is highly recommeded to follow the installation instructions keeping in mind the brickbug issue.
thnx for your reply. I did read a lot of information on this forum, but to be honest I don't understand it all. As a former iPhone user I'm really new to this stuff. I've been waiting for months to flash the kernel because I was afraid to brick my precious phone.
Is it correct that I'm safe from brick as long as I flash abyss kernel first? So after flashing kernel I should be safe to do a wipe before installing a new rom?
You are on ics, you cannot use abyss. The abyss42 kernel is used specifically for flashing purposes.
Safe kernels for ICS are speedmod and notecore. But even then, i do all my wipes from within abyss, install my ics rom then reinstall a safe kernel.

So the abyss kernel is a safe gb kernel for wipe and installing new rom. Since the kernel is part of the rom another kernel will be installed with the custom rom. Am I right here? So every time I want to use another rom I have to flash with abyss first. But is there still a risk of bricking using using this method? I will never just install a leaked rom or anything.
thats what i do, use abyss to flash any rom even if my current rom is already on a safe kernel like speedmod, notecore or goku.

Ok thnx. Should I only flash roms that use speedmod, notecore or goku? Or do most of the roms use them? Roms like cikrelo, kingdroid etc.
Hi together!
I am totally new to Galaxy Note and I like to root my device.
Since from what I have red, it can be dangerous to flash CWM on a certain ICS firmware, kernel related.
Now I would like to know if there is a safe way of rooting, no matter what firmware I am on.
Please correct me if I am wrong:
If I flash some old GB firmware from Samware with ODIN, I would not have this "unsafe" Kernel from ICS.
Is this even possible?
If so, I can root my device and can use CWM without any risk.
So far, is this working or do I have thinking mistake in it.
Please advice me!

Yes Brick Bug ? Yes,Insane chip in eMMC check
&
DANGER! This eMMC chip is *known* to have bring but in Got Brickbug?
How do i remove it ?
Currently i'm on RocketRom V1 JB version and using Speedmod Kernal.
Do i have to stop flashing rom and stick with the current one?
you cant remove it. it is about the chip but you can avoid triggering that bug by using a safe kernel.

all gn n7000 and several other phones have this emmc chip, hardbaked on mainboard of phone,
one does not simply remove it,
the bug will also not be solved
Only workaround is safe kernel

Hey there,
I have a note with some nightly CM10 Rom and Thor Kernel.
I want to flash stock LRT rom with a safe stock Kernel.
After this I also want to use Triangle Away.
Which is the best method to flash now?
Thank you

It seems your devices has been rooted. You can just use pc odin to flash any stock rom. And it wont give you any triangle and increase binary count.
But the way, you should not mentioned loki kernel at xda forum.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
flash the stock rom using pc Odin. Then you can flash the philz kernel for you rom using the stock recovery.
Forgot to say:
My USB is broken, so I have to send it to Samsung...
Can I use MobileOdin?
yes.. put the rom in external sd.
Flash using mobile odin. then do not change kernel or wipe.
what ever wipes you want to make, make now before flashing ics
yes you can
My problem is:
I do know not if Triangle Away will work now with my Kernel/ROM ...
Can I flash LRT with MobileOdin AND select Philz Kernel LRT directly?
So brick bug should not be any problem?
yes when you select the stock rom in mobile odin, you can change the kernel from stock to philz at the same time.
Thank you all, will do so now.
everything worked fine
Yup, just as nokiamodeln91 said. Use mobile odin to flash the stock rom.
As info given, you can now apply triangle away before flash any stock rom with mobile odin.
Should you have any question, please ask here. Me and other member will try to give you help.

I flashed XXLRT with PhilZ Kernel in Mobile Odin and used Triangle Away then.
I wiped already everything, this should be enough for Samsung to fix hardware-related issues only with my Note.
Already got Note 2..
May be you want to unroot, just incase
Assuming it's a warranty claim. I think Samsung will be a little surprised if they boot into recovery and see Philz touch recovery there......
