Ok so I'm on m3dd0gs liquid smooth v2 and was wondering if flashing one of your kernels was possible.. here a a shot of what I'm working with.. I only came to sgn a few months ago and there just so much more to it than it was with my inspire. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Sent from my GT-N7000 on a liquid diet...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I wouldn't do that if I were you. You are running Franco v4 ATM, and that kernel has MMC_CAP_ERASE (which is suspected to cause hard bricks) disabled in its code. OTOH, CF-Root ICS kernels still have it enabled - and that is potentially dangerous.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
It's not the MMC CAP ERASE as such, but disabling it does indeed prevent the problem from happening ... obviously I cannot disable this in CF kernels until Samsung disables it in their stock kernels.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Tubgirl:
IF Samsung disables it... will you be able to tell?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
Wouldn't know how tbh... I'm trying to modify recovery directly so the problematic call is never placed, that should fix it, but I can't be 100% certain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Tubgirl:
Ok, well that makes it pretty tricky then... since Samsung hardly ever publish changelogs :(

How will we ever know if it's been disabled or not?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
There's no way to really know unless Samsung tells us its been fixed. In the meantime, I think I fixed recovery so the problem isn't triggered anymore (updates will be released later), but in the same way - I have no way to prove if the fix is correct or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this Wi-Fi problem. I have flashed both LP9 ROM and CF-Root kernel, and Wi-Fi works fine for me.

However, there used to be a similar problem on the SGS2, I'm going to incorporate the fix into the upcoming CF-Root update... I hope that helps your problem, but as I can't reproduce it, I can't test it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] trahzebuck:
I'm aware that the kernels are different. but there are wifi problems regarding to the broadcom-driver at CM9-Kernel. maybe this can trace you to the problem.

Just an idea...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jgaviota:
Chainfire, could you please check the last couple of posts by sfhub from this thread,

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1644364

There is a thorough analysis of the bug and causes and possible fixes. In short you should compile your recovery against a GB version of a lib, so that mmc_erase is not called when wiping.

Another question, is the mobile Odin kernel safe to wipe from?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
CF-Root v5.6 has been released !

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE FLASHING, IT IS IMPORTANT

By now you have undoubtedly heard about bricking issues on the Galaxy Note, and various other devices. There is a bug in the Samsung stock ICS kernels that can trigger flash corruption and hardbrick your device.

There is a kernel source patch that works around the problem. It doesn't fix it, it just makes sure the problem isn't triggered. As you may or may not know, CF-Root's are not built from source, they are binary modifications to Samsung stock kernels.

As such, it is impossible for me to apply that patch to the source. I have received quite a bit of criticism from people who think they know what they are talking about for not implementing this patch - but as you may understand from the above, there's nothing I can do about it for CF-Root. The bug will disappear from CF-Root kernels as soon as Samsung fixes the issue in their builds, and not earlier.

However, I have patched the CWM included in the v5.6 CF-Root kernels, so CWM will no longer trigger the bug. But, I cannot be 100% certain that patch works. I have done about 50 restores and wipes today (both can trigger the bricking bug) and my device is still fine. But, I may have gotten lucky, or my device may not be affected at all.

In the same way, we will not know which stock Samsung kernels do or do not have the bug. Until they update their source and we see the problem is fixed (or Samsung outright tells us), any Samsung firmware release is suspect - and we won't know if the bug is present until somebody hardbricks on that kernel :(

Thus keep in mind, while I think CWM recovery will no longer trigger the problem (but I cannot guarantee it), the problem *is* actually still present in the kernel itself. As far as we (and the Android developer who released a lot of information about this) know, nothing else triggers the code that triggers the bug, but to be safe, I wouldn't be using the factory reset function in Android itself, or anything like that.

Beware: update.zip's can trigger the bug if they use "format" commands!

There is and cannot be any guarantee for CF-Root. You use it at your own risk. If you wan't to be safer, use a custom-built kernel of which the developer claims the problem is patched.

Yes I am aware of all these informations. mmc_erase should ideed be patched out in the new release...

The Mobile ODIN kernel should be safe to wipe from... not completely sure, however, the wipe that Mobile ODIN performs if you select wipe from the Android program, does not trigger the bug anyways.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
Yes, it's coming.

Why is everybody so impatient ? Do you absolutely positively have to brick your device today and bring it into repairs, or what ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] syncopath:
The test for whether you are root is if you can paste to the /system folder. The /system/app folder is a special case, you have to remount it as read/write before you can write to it.

Also by the way its not just the system/app folder. I can't copy anything to the system folder at all.... or does this also fall under changing it to read/write?

Sent from my GT-N7000 on a liquid diet...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] syncopath:
First be sure you really want to paste something in /system/app. Adding or deleting something "wrong" in /system/app can (at least) prevent your Note from getting on your phone/data network (I discovered!) Before making any serious changes in folders like /system and below, I strongly suggest making a good backup.

If you want to test for root, as I said, you just have to see whether you can paste to /system. Paste something simple like a small text file.

From other posts I have understood that the app Root Explorer can do a remount for you, and paste of course. Personally I use Terminal Emulator Pro and work using Linux commands - it gives me a clearer idea of what I'm doing. For an example of that see this thread.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

No. If you can't paste to /system you're not rooted. Any app you use to paste will ask for root permission first.

If any of the custom kernels that claim to have disabled the bug included your lates CWM that would be the safest option for a ICS samsung Kernel right?

Hi Chainfire

Little away from the current "safety" topic.

Can i confirm that root is implemented in a different manner between 5.3 compared to 5.5 or 5.6?

Root on 5.3 is sticky in so much as it would remain in place when flashing say Franco's kernel whereas 5.5 and 5.6 do not maintain root capability (stickiness).

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] niko26:
Hey Chainfire,

can you confirm that this bug has not been triggering before CWM 5.5? I read somewhere that in previous versions you did not "hard" wipe data, but instead you triggered a "soft" wipe.

I have installed 5.3, CF Root, and ICS stock on my Note. (In between I had to downgrade to GB and back to ICS, always wiping all data!). Everything has been working fine, but using backup with CWM does not work anymore. At some point the backup process simply stops (reading the same file at the end of /system) and my Note reboots. I am trying to find out whether there is any data corruption due to the eMMC bug. :(

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

Hi Chainfire,

I am on your stock root ICS ROM and now after installing 5.6 CWM everytime I reboot my Note it shows (in German language) a message after the Samsung blinking logo that "Android is being updated" and that "apps are being opened".

Any idea where this is coming from?

i can't get mobile odin pro to install "cf root 5.6" LPF kernel. i flashed the lpf rom with pc odin then root it which it did root correct. i then downloaded mobile odin pro and the "cf 5.6 kernel" then flashed with mobile odin. it shows that i still have the orignal kernel and i think i loose root because mobile odin and supersu locks up when i try and open them. i have the new lpf boot loader installed, could it be the bootloader keeping me from installing the cf 5.6 kernel. i repeated those steps flashing the lpf rom about 5 times with pc odin and did factory reset with no brick. i only flash stock roms. i also checked my emmc firmware which is 0x19.what is the steps to install the new kernel. i have install kernels before with mobile odin.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I'd do it with Mobile Odin; however, check if you have full root first.

Try to paste a small file (any file) into /system folder using any explorer with root permissions.

If you can paste it, you have full root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jack143:
yes i was able to paste a file to system folder im just rooted rightnow, i havent tried that after flashing the new kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jack143:
i will try that again after flashing the kernel to see if im loosing root. ics is giving modders hell. but its no dout better than gb. could this bug and trouble we are having be some kind of security

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Because CF--Root kernels do not have updater script in their zips, so you cannot flash them via CWMR unless you repack them.

Just extract zimage from the CF--Root zip/tar, place it on your SD card, start Mobile Odin, tap on 'kernel', select your zimage file and flash.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] capfelix:
I tried to use the first method to root my note and according to the remarks printed, seems like the ZergRush works to get temporary root. Then the flasher tried to push the Zimage (which is CF-Root version) into phone but then it failed. Reason is /dev/block/mmcblk0p5: cannot open for write: Permission denied.

Then I tried to use the second method, which is to flash a modified FactoryFS tar on my phone, which is running on DXKK1 firmware. The process works and my phone firmware becomes XXKJ1, rooted and have the CWM onboard. Then I tried to use CWM to flash back my original firmware, DXKK1, but with pre-root way, however, when the phone reboot to CWM mode, multiple line stating Waiting for SD-Card to mount (20s), ... (19s)... until (0s) but no mounting remark came out and then the whole flash process failed. I tried the keep CF-Root kernel way but still faced the same mounting issue.

What's wrong with CWM here?

Please ignore my issue above. I found the culprits. I didn't know I need to insert an external micro-SD card and put the firmware on that external card. All this while, I put everything inside my internal SD card storage. But strange, why even without the external micro-SD card, I still can access external_sd storage and put files inside there?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
As long as no external SD card is mounted, it is just another directory on your internal SD card. Once the external SD card is mounted, it magically points to the root of that external SD card.
