[SOLVED] Does flashing custom Rom from stock kernel brick my device - LG Optimus 4X HD

I want to install eternity project from my bootloader unlocked and rooted phone with Cwm. It has the stock kernel and running v20a does it harm my device or brick it? Have some experience with Galaxy Note ICS brick bug.
EDIT: No, it doesn't.

Eternity Project what? The Rom or Kernel? If the Kernel is for a STOCK based ROM then by all means go ahead and flash it, it shouldn't brick your phone at all! If anything it may cause a bootloop but i very much doubt that.
However if you are after flashing the Eternity Project ROM (4.3) Then you will need to back up first and then carry out a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) And then flash the Rom, I believe it has a kernel with it and it should boot, however if not check the FAQ on the Rom thread!
Happy Flashing/Overclocking!

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.

Have performed a full wipe in ICS? Try flashing a stock gb Firmware with odin and do a full wipe, then re root and flash the ROM.
Or if You still have CWM You can flash abyss kernel, reboot recovery and then re flash the ROM.

Undervolt it using Tegra Overclock or any other utility...
I strongly recommend to check the instructions before u do the same as it can have bad impact on your device as well..

abyss kernel is GB, for u to stay safe during the wipe. The usual procedure is to flash abyss from CWM, reboot recovery (not the device), do a full wipe and then immdiately flash a custom rom.
CM9 has a safe kernel as is compiled from source and not from Samsung kernel release as some other custom roms do....just read the dev's threads. Take into consideration that not all custom kernel works with custom roms. Make sure that u choose matching pairs!...:good:
You can safely format data in cwm on cm9 kernel. However I suggest that you should reflash PA 0.5

Should i do a wipe?

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.

To be safe, do a full wipe WHILE you are on GB. Then update to ICS. The phone should be clean. This way no risk of the brick bug.

Install GotBrickbug-v1.2.apk to check if your Note has the brick bug. Run the app and it should tell you.

Wipe what ever u want when yr on gb rom itself. Once u wipe on gb n update. i think u will ve no need to wipe later
Never wipe or factory reset on ics stock kernel.
Using philz stock safe kernel u can then get rooted n then wipe anything on ics.

I was tracking that using CWM to root on the N7000 was not a good move? There is a note at the top of the Q&A in this section ... says no to CWM.
Thoughts?
yes its not safe to root using CWM.zip file

[Q] Kernel issue

Noob here so:
I just flashed vanir Rom and i was looking for a kernel so i tried iodak and warewolf but it bouth said after i flashed them "lot's of menu stop and other things stop" Hope someone understand what i say. I searched and i coudn't find something that could helped me. I have to say i searhed for about 4 hours before i asked. P.S. Made the account after i searched so i could put the question.:crying:
So my quiestion is: What kernel i have to use, what version? I tried warewolf CM 10.1 and stock too and v8 from iodak
At first we need to know which Vanir you're on, 4.4.2 or 4.3?
And you should ALWAYS wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery prior to kernel, otherwise you may run into problems.
The kernels you use should be any kernel versions and thus be compatible with most Roms.
Try iodak 9.5 and it should work.

I have 4.3 btw you suggest to go for 4.4.2?
I wiped every time sir.
When i make a backup with rom manager it will save the rom and the kernel?
A backup will save the whole thing boot image, system, data etc
Vanir 4.4.2 has definitely a even better performance and with iodak's anykernel 9.5 it's awesome. Give it a try I'd say but you should wipe /system within CWM.
