Not sure if the brick bug still applies to JB.
I inherited this phone from a friend and want to format data/wipe/reset it.
I used the "got brickbug?" app to check if my eMMC chip was vulnerable and it is (Type: VYL00M).
Model Number: GT-N7000
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: N7000XXLT3
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-1103517, [email protected] #3, SMP PEEMT Mon Apr 1 21:33:52 KST 2013
Build Number: JZO54K.N7000XXLT4
Is it safe to boot in recovery and wipe data/factory reset? If not, what is an alternative "safe" method I can use?
Help (or redirection) would be appreciated!
There have been no cases of a brick bug on JB so I would say it is safe... however if you want to be sure then flash Philz kernel (got to the original android development) and flash it through recovery. After that you will have a safe kernel and a custom recovery.
If You want to be sure flash from stock recovery a Philz Kernel. You can put the file zip into your sdcard than go into recovery and flash it.

Hello everyone at XDA, I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000 from the store Mediamarket.
I want to have MIUI on my device, so I want to know exactly how to get it (how to root it, how to add cwm, add a custom rum, put miui in.. yeah everything I need).
Right now I got a stock rom, here is some info:
When i go to Settings-> About phone, i get this:
Code:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Basband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813
[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
When I call *#1234# i get this:
Code:
PDA: I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000XXJVO
CSC: I9000NEEJV3
Build Info: Wed May 4 18:03:59 KST 2011
So please everyone, tell me how to put MIUI inside (so I can understand it) of this awesome phone!
At first you have to have a Gingerbread-firmware as a base - you have that.
Then you need to flash a kernel that includes CWM (just flash it with Odin, you have to put the file into the PDA-field).
Last step: copy MIUI.zip onto your internal sdcard and flash it through CWM (install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> MIUI.zip -> Yes).
So first step is done just by doing nothing.. awesome
Do you mean I don't need to root? Can you give me a link to the kernel i should flash?
Can i flash this http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...tion-edition-10-1-gt-i9000-only-for-now.3237/ with Odin?

Well you can but that is a whole ROM not just a kernal, You can get darkcore from that website, or look at the kernals here which also has darkcore

This is a stock based kernal that i have used before, and from chainfire a v.reliable source, it should have what you need...

then flash the zip through recovery, but obviously follow the instructions from the thread you get the MIUI ROM from as it maybe be slightly different

You can flash any stock firmware using pc odin without any risk, (I guess except a locked rom on OEM unlocked phone). Make sure you do not wipe once on stock ICS unless you flash safe custom kernel.
Never ever wipe/factory reset on stock ICS kernel. I would advice you to flash a safe kernel like hydracore and then follow the flashing instructions of the particular ROM you want to install.

can i use pc odin for flash my rom and then
Factory Data Reset option in ICS menu ?
No once you have flashed a stock ROM which has a stock kernel, you should not wipe at all. ICS stock kernels are not at all safe for wipes.

You can use pc odin to flash stock rom but do not wipe in stock recovery or factory reset in setting, it will brick your Note. First flash some safe kernel and then only perform wipe or factory reset.
use dr ketans proven method, see sticky section development.
Almost foolproof, read threads and read first posts and read stickies.
can not even do factory reset on normal ics menu ?
how can i sell my phone then without reset ?

You can flash a safe kernel and then do a wipe in CWM.... then flash a factoryfs image using PC odin... it will be like out of the box...

hello friend..
tell me, was your phone revived by an official samsung repair center or by normal phone repair shops?
if by official samsung repair center, then im sure u can use odin without problems, if not by samsung,
go to- > settings ->storage [under Usb storage] tell me what is your total space? if it is 11.07GB, then u know u can flash with odin. But if its less than that, then you know your phone was revived with custom pit and U should be careful if u want to flash...

I m still using my note which was revived by pit method.
My total space is 8gb+.
I have been changing Rom and kernel.
The last 2 Rom I used are stock LRQ, and classicrom LRQ base v5.
During the changing of Rom, I always use either pc Odin, mobile Odin, or sometimes CWM if Rom flashable from CWM.
1 thing I always make sure is to be on the safe kernel first.
Pit reviving method, from my understanding is the same / similar to low format in harddrive of ur pc or laptop.
Whereby the bad sector is being marked, so we won't be able to use the marked space.
For the balance space.... it is totally safe to use.

Hi, i bought recently my Note and stock ICS is extremely annoying.I would like to flash new custom rom maybe JB but the problem is that my kernel is LPY and i read how lpy kernels have bug that would brick my phone bla bla..
So my question is, how safe is to flash new safe kernel and then flash custom rom? What do you suggest to do? Thx.
My kernel version:
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT...2012

Download this onto yor external SD card:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/a860nadrjigsl98/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLPY-XEN-3.99-signed.zip
Once you have downloaded it (don't extract it) install it through the stock recovery. After this you will have a brick free kernel.
To install a ROM then just follow the steps in the ROM thread (wipe system,cache,dalvik,preload,data etc) and install. That usually does it.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I rooted my phone via odin, CWM v5. Would that affect on installing?
no, it won't.
I have a rooted N7000 with 4.0.4 on it.

Im trying to install CM 11 via PhilZ and CWM and it gives me an error while installing, something with metadata recursive, status 7...
Anyway, I figured I should install the CWM from Odin, can anyone tell me which one to download?
If you currently have Philz kernel then download for example Raw Kernel (any version) and flash it through recovery. You won't be able to boot into your old ICS after this but you can flash straight to CM 11 with Raw. Don't forget to do a full wipe though.

I believe error 7 often indicates youre using an old/incompatible recovery-version.
Try updating that first. (install a different kernel..)
