can i flash philz kernel on GB rom, then use CWM to backup and flash a JB rom?
i know GB won't boot with philz, but CWM should boot and let me go on from there, right?
can anyone confirm that?
Yes you will be able to boot into recovery.

I am a noob..i am on chinese leak i.e i9220 .i flashed lp1 repack.so i am under the emmc bug
I want to go back to GB.the guide says you have to flash abyss kernel first and then perform all three wipe from the redpill recovery..i wanted to ask that if i wipe from redpill will the emmc bug will be triggered or it is just on cwm and stock recovery..in simple words will the emmc be damaged if i wipe using redpill recovery?
Thank u in advance
should be safe if you are on redpill recovery. i have done it several times, and others did too. just make sure you are on redpill by rebooting to recovery AFTER you flashed the kernel. (advanced>reboot recovery).
to be safer, get a wipe stock GB rom and do it via pc odin.
thank u very much ..
Hello all,
I recently upgrade (for my first time) to ICS ROM with ABYSS Kernel,
but of course before my upgrade i backup my phone - Nandroid backup.
My question is:
can i restore my Nandroid image and all my Data, ROM and Kernel will be restore??
Thanks in advance,
Bar
Do NOT restore a nandroid backup with CWM on any of the stock ICS roms. You will need to flash the Abyss kernel to restore a nandroid.
What is the nandroid backup of? Like which rom?
The Nandroid backup i have is from my GB stock ROM,
can i go and restore form it?
Yes but first you must flash abyss kernel. Reboot into abysskernels cwm then you can restore the backup.
I already have Abyss kernel installed, is there another Abyss version for gingerbread?
my current Abyss version is: AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip

That's the right version. However, Abyss is just for Gingerbread and restoring nandroids. So, you couldn't have been booting ICS with Abyss because it wouldn't boot up, at least not correctly.
But yeah, if you don't have it flashed, flash Abyss, reboot recovery, and restore nandroid.
Thanks andreww88,
Before my upgrade to ICS i went through the below link instruction:
1. install Abyss Kernel
2. reboot into it
3. wipe data
4. install rom
Link:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v2-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/
please give last green light that i can go and restore Nandroid if i have Abyss ver 4.2 already installed on my GNote N7000?
Have you installed abyss again after ics?
Hi Belfia,
This is my problem, i failed install kernel.
after i installed Abyss and KingDroid ROM all went well, till i reboot into recovery via Rom Manager...
what can i do to go back to gingerbread? (i am afraid from bricking my device...)

Now, I understand you. Any time you flash a rom it will install the kernel that goes with it. So you flashed stock ICS so you have the stock ICS kernel (so do NOT wipe data and do not restore nandroid). Reboot into recovery. You need to flash the abyss kernel again in CWM. Then, you need to "Reboot Recovery". It should be in Abyss now. Now, you can do restore nandroid.
i think i was not clear enough, i will explain again:
After i installed Abyss and KingDroid ROM all went well, till i reboot into recovery via Rom Manager...
Now when i try to install Abyss Kernel again it's failed, it is stuck on "Installing Update..." (see screenshot attached).
what can i do to go back to gingerbread without bricking my device?
Thanks you all
OK - don't reboot after you install Abyss Kernel
After you install zip - choose Advanced > Reboot into recovery.
Don't reboot after install Abyss - it is likely a bootloader problem. Check out the video on first page and you will see that what I mean.

I have N7000 with ICS (4.0.3) and XXLQ2 firmware. I have flashed chainfire's CF-Root kernel. BUT I want to completely reset/wipe the phone to its pristine condition. I have checked 'got brickbug' and i have got the brick bug. so what am i supposed to do? If I wait, will this bug be resolved by Samsung in an upgrade to ICS, or should I go 'back' to GB (if so, how), or can I ignore the brick bug thing and get on with it?
So you don’t want the Odin back to GB. Well then you have the Abyss Note 4.2 Kernel with Redpill Touch recovery. You are on any unsafe kernel ICS Rom and you want to go to safe rom then do one last CWM flash of Abyss kernel reboot recovery and then flash the safe roms. This keeps your root intact. You can even acieve root though this if you have lost it. Just flash Abyss 4.2 go to GB. Check root there and then flash the ICS rom. No need of repack. If any of this gets struck or brick then you know your way out already…..you told that in the question. Link for Abyss 4.2 Kernel is here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424 --Download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel with redpill touch recovery Or Abyss 3.9 Kernel (for some users where the 4.2 kernel haven't worked 3.9 worked perfect).
--Now first put this zip on your SD Card before you try to flash anything or restore anything.
--Now boot into recovery - Volume up + Home + Power
--Choose - install zip from SD Card
--Navigate to your Abyss kernel 4.2 or 3.9 zip and flash it
--After flashing is complete- go back to the Recovery start menu
--Go to advanced > reboot recovery
--This will reboot the phone directly to new recovery - Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery
--Now go to Wipe Menu and wipe cache, dalvik and do your factory reset
--After this start your restore from nandroid backup , or flash any GB rom !
Cheers!! Enjoy your Note!
Can be used to wipe only

Hi
I can't seem to flash anything from philz kernel on any jb rom. So when I flash a rom I flash franco kernel 6 and then the rom and it works fine, but I want to flash Darboc's transparent mods on ultimate jb rom, but it just freezes (like it does when installing a rom) and when I try to reboot It gets stuck on the boot screen or I just can't get out of recovery. I then need to flash franco kernel 6 and flash the rom again. I'm also unable to wipe system in philz recovery. I have also tried to flash the new version of philz kernel, but it freezed when flashing the kernel. Then I ran a kernel cleaning script and flashed the rom again but it still does the same.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
get back to ultimate rom the latest version. if it doesnot have Philz 3.99 version of the kernel, then instead of installing the new version using recovery. try using mobile odin to flash the tar version of the kernel. then try flashing what ever you want. hopefully this time it will work

When u flash kerenel u have to reboot into recovery so that flashing could take effect.
PhilZ JB kernel's are safe to wipe and philZ kernel's are best for TW based ROM's.
So if u running CM10,CM10.1,AOSP,AOKP,PA ROM's u shuold look for Hydra,Franco,etc..
And make sure that u reboot into recovery when u flash kerenel...

Hi thanks for the reply, I managed to flash the kernel with mobile odin, but I'm still unable to flash in cwm.
Are you able to format system with other kernel?

Yes and I always do before flashing a rom.
Not sure then why this is happening. I tried the same and I am able to format or flash mods using philz

Thanks for your help anyway, at least I'm on the latest philz kernel now.
Hi can i flash by odin a custom kernel with custom recovery for restore my android 4.4 without flashing stock rom then root, flash cwm and so on?
You can flash philz kernel. It has cwm. But I am it sure if you can restore a 4.4 backup with it. May be you can. But if it fails, you can install raw kernel as you will have cwm.
what 4.4 recovery was the backup made with? if made with twrp you will need twrp recovery so flash omni rom then restore backup.
if cwm backup then you will need cwm recovery with selinux support like raw r4
are you unable to boot to recovery and only get download mode if so you will start with philz kernel with odin
Yes im unable to load recovery i must flash by odin a tar.md5 kernel? Am i right?
Yes try that. Also try to remove the battery for 10 seconds. Remove the USB cable. Then reseat the battery and try to boot into recovery
