[Q] need a safe ics

hello i want to ask if theres is a completly safe(without hardbrick ) ics rom out there ?? if yes how i can fully root it ??
i am using cm9 and i want to enjoy the s pen applications and want official ics with a way to root it ..
i appeciate any help

IMHO the only safe ICS is the stock, but the problem is rooting it. The CF root is not safe. The safest thing would be to wait for a kernel that is not risky.

Currently there are no 100% safe ICS roms for NOTE. There have been reports of both XXLPY official ICS and ZSLPF official ICS being effected by a bug in eMMC which gets damaged while users wipe large amount of data. Read the public announcement please http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943. This unfortunately includes CWM wipe data and Factory reset. Just stay on GB for now. I am using ICS my self but i am only staying here cuz i don't want to risk bricking my device going back on GB.

Well pretty much any GB kernel is safe as long as you haven't been effected by this bug. But there is no way to detect that. If you are completely sure that you haven't done any wiping of data or very heavy use of I/O, then you should be good to flash. But i don't want to take that chance because i have no warranty on my phone. That and if a patch comes along i can use it on a bootable phone but NOT on a bricked one. ICS is working pretty smooth btw. I am just not messing with large files and anything that includes wiping of data

Completely safe ICS Roms:
1. CM9
2. Asylum
3. ParanoidAndroid
4. MIUI

Unfortunately you can't port the s pen apps to cm9, but there are substitutes.
I hope Samsung is already working on it

u can go to gb via odin .. it's safe

CF-Root + ICS + Note + Full Wipe = Risk!!!!
If you need to Wipe Make sure you have abyss kernel 4.2 final....
Good Luck!!!

[Q] Steps needed to flash another stock ICS!!

Hi There ,
I would like to welcome myself to the xda-developers , i have been exploring this forum for a while, honestly i am so impressed, this is the best forum ever
I think i wil learn looots of things from you guys ...i hope i can help out one day as a pay back ...love you..
My question :
1. i have flashed a stock ICS ROM and rooted it successfully ...
now i need to flash another stock ICS ROM..saudi arabia one to get arabic language ...how can i do that short and safe ?!!
Thanks in advance for your help , and please do make it short as i am not that technical :-(

First things first,
there's currently no 'short and safe' way to get stock ICS due to the Hardbrick bug.Read it carefully-when a dev/mod writes warning in big red letters, you pay attention to it.Although you may get a replacement from Samsung as all you did was flash a stock rom and as long as your binary counter is zero i.e. no 'yellow triangle' is displayed when you start up your phone.
For getting the Saudi Arabia ROM-use this

thanks
well..i have installed stock ics rom from a stock GB rom ...now i am confused should i downgrade to GB first or just use pc odin right away to flash this one as well?...
and thanks for the link ...but searching confuses me even more ...so many ways to flash.i need some that have succesfully done the same thing to guide me..

Newer the better !!
ICS is safe with a safe kernel(i.e. a kernel which is devoid of any wipe data bug Eg. All CM9 kernels, speedmod kernel, franco's kernel). If you wanna stay stock in ICS flash any stock firmware through ODIN and replace the stock kernel with a safe one. If you wanna custom ROM, there are many to choose from. Here also the same procedure applies. Any ROM with a safe kernel. so cheerios and Welcome to the ICS bandwagon. You can flash it over the same with a safe kernel also(I have done safe many a time) but it doesn't get hurt to flash into GB and to be back on ICS. A 33k Note is of more value than a time of ten minutes. LOL.
you can also read this thread to get more information on staying safe in ICS.

Yes I agree, i think something when wrong while flashing. I had a similar issue although not as bad, but because i had no idea what to do I reflashed and it worked for me. Just like windows(if all else fails reinstall and evey thing is as good as new )

[Q] Best Kernel / Rom combination for the I9070

Hello,
So after getting some knowledge of the things (thanks Shut_Down :good, I was wondering which is the best combination for this phone?
Right now I am running the stock ROM and kernel.
Will the new official JB upgrade also change kernel or just ROM?
Since people here have already tried different combinations, which combinations have you found that give good, consistent and fast running?
Thanks!

Thanks for your replys!
Funny thing is that each of you have a different combination.
Any one actually did testing which combo is better? Or maybe i sould ask, why are you using he combinations you wrote?

Same here. Stock JB LQ4 + ThunderZap 3.5.

So I am guessing I will upgrade to the stock JB ROM (till there will be a JetMod version of JB).
1) Which would be a better kernel set CoCore or ThunderZap?
2) I am right now still running the stock GB ROM.
What would be the right upgrade process kernel update then rom, or rom and then kernel?
The reason I am thinking kernel first is because I still don't have a custom recovery (using the stock brand) so i can't backup or load new roms.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Try both and see what firs you better. And about order, you can install ROM with temp. CWM, but I suggest you use permanent, with custom kernel. So first kernel, than ROM.

Thanks mate! Again you helped.
If I install the stock ROM will I be able to get it in my local language (Hebrew), or do I need to download a specific ROM that is already in my language?

Hm, on this Russian JB there is no Hebrew as I see. So if you want it you should wait for release for your country or any with your language.

OK, Thanks.
Last question, when just changing kernel, do I need to do any wipes / resets (I have read about dalvik cache, factory wipes etc.) ? Or is that just for when installing new ROM's?

[Q] Differences between HK and GERMANY 4.1.2 GALAXY NOTE LEAKED OFFICIAL ROM

I just flashed the HK Firmware from Sammobile LM5 and here are my thoughts after a day of use and I wanted to know the differences from the GERMANY .
- No more 'action shot' in Camera ( but was faster in capturing )
-No Airview
- Non custamizable notif panel
- Swype was laggy
- Noticed there was wakelock but was gone after wipe/factory reset on official 4.0.4 kernel
- No page buddy
- Google now is great , but cant press the menu button ( the menu appeared for 1 sec then when back )
Please let me know if Germany rom has such problems.

factory reset on stock 4.0.4 kernel?
hmmmm. :thumbdown:

It's really really dangerous, have you even heard of the infamous brickbug?

BTW, is this new ROM also affected by the brickbug, or are we finally on the clear?
