Hey guys, so the issue is that I have no baseband using stock kernel or AOSP-based kernel after at some point installing Perseus kernel (and doing an EFS-backup with Perseus kernel installed). Since I am forced to run Perseus kernel (or Adam kernel) this means I can't install anything newer than 4.1.2 which makes me sad. I have previously tried most (if not all) of the suggested fixes, but will try them again if suggested, so if you have an idea, don't be afraid to post it!
Honestly I don't think I've seen anyone solve this particular issue, but I haven't used my Samsung for over a year now, hoping someone has figured it out in that time. (I did search first, couldn't find anything I hadn't tried before)
Any help is appreciated.
Jesus, i don't even know what Perseus and Adam kernel are. Never seen them before.
So, no baseband with stock or AOSP, have you attempted to flash modem ?

I do believe there is a firmware which has an updated efs version.. Just not sure what it is. If you can have a search for it try it out

Hi again,
I need to find a kernel that has DM_CRYPT included/enabled. Is it possible to find that, just kernel and stay on stock GB? Or do i have to flash a custom rom, if so, which do have DM_CRYPT? Hope someone can assist me quickly, since this depends on wether if i'll keep the note or not...
Thanks!
it would be kernel related not rom related, you would have to see if a dev woudl put this into a kernmel for you but why do you need it?
Some apps need it. And i need them. I heard that all Honeycomb roms have it, so i guess ICS too. But i'm not gonna take risks since i might return it. And i don't have much time... How am i supposed to i "contact a dev" to request that? Is that a request board? If i'm alone to request it won't happen anyway.
Abyss kernel (v3.1) is compiled with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y . Since there is nothing about it in the changelog, I expect the latest version also has this option enabled.
Thanks! I'm gonna try it then. But what's difference between CW Touch & RedPill? I know CW Touch of course... But not RedPill. Anyway, if i flash this, Custom Rom Manager (from CF-Root) won't work anymore, eh? I can switch kernel, no risk? If anyone know other kernel with DM CRYPT , please post! ^^
PS: If it's just a line to edit "CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y" then can't i just do it somehow on any kernel?
EDIT: I installed 4.2 and the app which required dmcrypt still refuse... If it was loaded, then should work directly, eh?
I'm sorry but i forgot a thing : "Loopback device" is required too, i guess this is some setting in the kernel..? Or is it something else? If so tell me what please Abyss doesn't work, i tested 3.5 too (can't test older since megaupload's dead... If you have links...) :X
Hey, guys,
I'm talking about this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
Are these issues resolved somehow? I'm sitting on ICS Stunner ROM and I'm afraid to do anything serious with my phone.
Shouldn't there be fixes when Samsung released official AOSP source of Notes' ICS?
Or am I missing something? I really want to do a completely clean install of some ROM, because my current ROM (the newest version of Stunner) works terribly, forcecloses, slugish, freezing all the time.
Can the behavior of my phone have something to do with the problem discussed in the thread I linked? (I don't understand anything in that thread )
Hi
The issues regarding superbrick arent completely resolved. But there are Kernels for ICS wich contain a workaround. And so far noone has reported bricking with them.
It seems like the official kernel source from sammy still contained that bug. But now it has been bypassed. Still noone is completely sure yet that they are 100% safewhen it comes to wiping etc.
There is also a workaround to repartition the data section effectively bypassing any damaged areas for anyone that has a brick and no warranty.
This of course reduces the data partitions size, and it's still pot luck as to how much damage would occur.
It's also a pretty tricky operation.

So if I want to install a stock ICS rom (the newly released one, not the old leak), I should dooo, what? Which is the safe kernel (the one with a workaround)?..
Sorry for stupid questions..
Probably worth flashing stock ics ROM, with a custom kernel that's safe. Probably best to do it in mobile Odin. Make sure you extract the firmware file and only select ROM partition, then separately point to kernel.

I think its better to be in Stock rom what we got and never do any experiment, instead of wasting time on it to get very little stuff with high risk.
even if some work around solution is there, its very hard to understand and not all will be doing that.
I totally agree. Wait for safe ics kernels or use modified Cm9's for now.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
So just to be sure:
I use this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646088
And a kernel? You mentioned CM9 kernel. How do I get it? Can I find it in here http://get.cm/?device=n7000 (I mean is it somehwere in the .zip?)
Or are all those franco/abbyss kernels also considered relatively safe?
Thanks for your patience
No you cant use Cm9 kernels with stock rom. If you flash a stock rom you get a stock kernel included
What if I flash chainfires kernel first and the flash stock rom?

No, either use a GB kernel or use Franco's #3+, or SpeedMod K3-3, CF's ICS kernels are NOT safe.
Is there a re-write or safe kernel at this time?
Do not want CM9 due to the missing functionality. I'm after as close to stock as possible without the crappy risk of screwing up the GN (which is just back from Samsung!).
TIA.
Well Chainfire thinks he might have found a workaround for the problem in his latest kernel.
Check his thread, bur remember to not blame him if somehing goes wrong.

I read CF's notes, which is why I'm asking about recompiles etc.
I know CF modifies stock Samsung kernels, so the faulty command is still a risk according to him.
Yes and there arent many other options I'm afraid.
I'm currently running Francos kernel. It is also based on stock but emmc bug is disabled diractly in the source code. So far there are no reports on bricking with that kernel and everything is running really smooth for me.

Thanks Belfia. So to be clear you are running stock ICS (e.g. LPY/LP9) and the latest Franco kernel?
No Im on criskelorom as my sig says. But franco kernel works very well with stock ics
What would be really cool is a kernel that's NOT tweaked or modified EXCEPT for the mmc bug. Someone would need to compile the sources with JUST the modifications needed to stop the bug from being triggered.
I don't want those super mega tweaked kernels. Just stock and safe.

Hello, relatively new android user, and new (German) Galaxy Note owner here.
I've used one other android phone before (Galaxy W), but since that one is my business phone, I can't really toy with it much.
First thing I did after getting the Note was doing an OTA update, which of course netted me the hardlock-bugged LPY kernel, which I didn't know at the time.
There's quite the collection of safe Kernels around, but I'm not sure which one is the correct one for me.
I want to wait with flashing CM9, since I sorta like using the FM function, and afaik that doesn't work in CM9 yet.
I'm fairly content with the current stock ICS aside from the hardlock risk looming over my head like the sword of Damocles.
So, since the selection of Kernels overwhelms me a little, my actual question:
Is there a safe Kernel that just runs with the stock ICS ROM without any other changes that I can flash on and be done with? Or will any safe Kernel neccessiate a wipe/data restore/whatever?
Try franco kernel.Used to use it with GB but have since switched to CM9 kernel as I no longer use Samsung based ROMs.Read this, everything is here.Then reread.Then decide what to do.Do what you decided
Thanks for the response.
After reading through the most recent pages of the franco thread, that one seems to be unstable in recent builds, though. I use the alarm clock, so I don't want a phone that randomly reboots at night.
I guess I'll try going with Chainfire's Kernel instead. Wish me luck with my first kernel flashing on an android phone. D:
speedmod k3-3 for ICS. i tried franco's today and did not like it.

Agreed. Franco is buggy but speed mod is excellent.

Flashed speedmod k3-3 via CWM (since I don't have mobile odin and currently don't want to increment my flashcounter).
Seems to run so far.
Since I can't post on the speedmod thread yet (dev board~), I'll ask here: Will I have to factory reset if I want to avoid complications (I have titanium backups of everything), or can I just let it run like this?

shouldn't have to wipe data or anything for flashing a kernel.
Speedmod is the bomb. I tried franco but it messed up my wifi.
Part of what has me asking:
I flashed ICS from GB via OTA, but didn't do a reset back then (thank god), because I read about the hardbrick bug just in time.
Seems at least some stuff doesn't quite work right after that. The Software-Update widget that comes with stock ICS is an example of that. I'm not sure what else may be glitched.

Go to a CM9-based ROM. You won't regret it. Stable, smooth, solid.
I can recommend the Goku Kernel. It's based on Speedmod but comes with a few useful enhancements.

For those of you guys looking for the stock AT&T Kernel, this ones for you. There are too many dead links that I just needed to make this one. I modified another kernel and replaced the files with the AT&T kernel files taken from Nottach's rom. I do not know exactly what version this one is (if there is one).
I've had my share of problems with faux and mrom kernels when combining phone usage with the Webtop (Ubuntop) environment. Don't get me wrong, but those kernels were only good on their own. There were too many random restarts and glitches the moment I was done using webtop. Also, non-stock kernels were the reason behind "mobile view" freezing issues.
By far, the stock kernel is the only stable kernel I've used. No random restarts. No freezing. No issues!
:good:Download AT&T Stock Kernel here.:good:
Go to CWM and flash the zip.
Are you aware of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805666
They collect everything of the Atrix. You should post your Kernel there so everything is collected in one spot!
I did not know about that until now. Thanks! I'll give it a look later.
