Downgrade to GB

Hello, I've looked around to find this answer but couldn't find an exact match. I want to downgrade from rocketrom ics to stock GB 2.3.6 using odin, my current. Kernel is franco. My device is checked and known to have dangerous eMMC bug. Is it completely safe to flash stock gb from rocketrom?

Hi guys,
Im on Stock ICS XXLQ2 can i flash stock GB XXLC1 using Odin PC after that i can do Full Wipe/Factory reset etc..
Thanks

I got the idea i need to flash the Open europe version of stock GB via odin. But the one I found is Wipe version, will this trigger the eMMC bug? (my device is affected)

Afaik the full wipe part will be performed under the gb kernel as that is flashed before the from, so you'll be fine.

Yes, use PC Odin to flash, then perform a factory reset when you're on gb.

Sorry but i need to clarify this
So, is it ok to flash any rom with safe kernel? For instance CM9 RC1? I'm on official ics 4.0.3 from samsung, and like most of the note users i have the f*ing bug

Cm kernels will not work with tw based roms, only with aokp/aosp, and vice versa. You'll have to read up on the kernel pages themselves on which rom types they support.
So flash to gb first, perform full wipe, root and install cwm, then you can install custom kernels and roms from there. Never install from ics kernel, only downgrade to gb to be safe.

Downgrading to gb means; directly flashing a gb rom right? Yes, i'm new to all this.

hi everybody
i am sorry for bothering you i just want to ask when using pc odin to downgrade from ics to gb stock rom is enough one pda file or i had to use the other phone and csc file with pit file and repartition, that is my first question.
the second one after flashing the stock gb can stay on stock kernel or it is unsafe.
thank you in advance

Most of the rom files split down into three files but If you place the original tar file into pda, odin sorts out the partitions correctly for you.
All stock gb kernels are safe from emmc superbrick bug, safe to perform wipes.

[Q] Note stays on splash screen after installing ParanoidAndroid

Hi,
So I've recently tried to root my Note and put it on PA0.5 ROM and it gets stuck on splash screen. Dr.Ketan told me to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151 and I've followed it completely. But as soon as I get to install via recovery it gets stuck. I've read threads like this but most people loose recovery and get stuck but mines stuck w/ recovery. So please someone help me!
Thanks

P.s. As soon as I get this fixed I can start making my LGUI3.0 ROM

In what situation you are in now ? Are you trying to flash ICS stock rom now ? If it so I would recommend to stop it and flash GB Rom using PC Odin.

I was on stock ICS originally, followed that guide to get on GB+ROOT. Flashed PA in recovery and it doesnt fail, it 'installs' and then i reboot and it doesmt work.. Also o did wipe everything
Back on stocl ICS

Don't worry, if you don't know what it is then you didn't repartition. Do you know what version of cwm recovery you have? Press and hold power, home and volume up till it reboots into cwm.

Yes... I did it..
N nothing brick issues..
ICS rom is safe..
which makes the brick is the stock ICS kernel...
So do not do the wipe when you're still using the stock kernel..
Flash Abyss kernel first..
N then do the wipe using abyss kernel..

How to get back to STOCK from CM9

Hi Everyone!
I'm kinda having problems going back to stock ics from stable cm9.
I wanted to get back to stock just so I can try speedmod k3-13.
Whenever I flash stock ics through pc odin, I get stocked in the blinking Samsung logo, and my note never boots up. I am now back to cm9 and everything is ok.
Any thoughts on what steps I should undertake to get it working!?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-N7000

Why you are using kernel to get back to gb???no need to do.if you are doing this for going back to custom gb rom then i would suggest you to first flash a pre-rooted gb rom from dr.ketan's guide.try to flash it through pc-odin.

You need root to install speed mod kernel so quickest way is to flash a pre rooted rom.

Help noob

I have stock ICS 4.0.4 rom and I want to root
my Note and flash to Cyanogen ROM or paranoid rom.
1 question: Will I be able to flash using Philz Cwm6 Kernel, or should I use other Kernel?
2. Does a stock ICS rom is a peoblem flashing to Jelly Bean Cyanogen or is the kernel which is important for flashing?
P.S Sorry if I wrote something because I'm still noob on phone modding.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

just go to install a safe kernal here for ur ICS4.0.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
my advise is do a backup using the safe kernal b4 flashing any roms it might help u in case something when wrong.
if u really don't know how to flash CM u can go find a rom manager it might be the easiest way for noob.

Flashing cm requires first flashing a cm 10 or 10.1 kernel, have a look in chasmodo's kernel repository in the stickies somewhere for cm based kernels.
Doesn't matter what rom you're on, you're right it's the kernel that's the important part.
Also if flashing cm base, make sure you perform full wipes before and after flash for best stability.

No, you need a specific cm kernel. Otherwise you'll face boot loops.

You won't be able to boot into ics, but once you've flashed cm kernel, then reboot into recovery and flash CM rom and then gapps, then do 3 wipes before boot.

Philz has fixed th error 7 on the 3.99 release. So you can go ahead and do the formats and flash the cm rom. There is actually no need to flash the th cm kernel first.
I have done it myself a couple of days ago

I did read actually , tried reflash the cm10 more than 50times and wipe system/cache and dalvik many times but it still didnt work at all, just now i tried it again and guess what it boot into cm10 finally.

If u read, flashing from froyo or GB need to go through da step from CM7 (stock GB) > CM9 (ICS flash twice as phone memory repartition) > CM10/10.1 (JB also flash twice)

well it worked now without flashing cm7 and cm9. By the way, the install guide at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd said The install guide assumes the Galaxy S is running Android 2.3 at the important notes so i just followed the instruction only, flash straight from stock gm to cm10 worked like a charm now.

They really assume that you're running 2.3.6. People have had problems with flashing custom roms from any oter version (especially 2.3.3)
