I have exactly the same problem! Here are the exact steps I took to create these so hopefully others won't do the same...

Installed the Official German ICS ROM - all ok! Installed over stock GB N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse), wich was rooted and with Abyss Touch Kernel

Before install LPY i did a factory reset (with wipe every thing), as i read over XDA, i installed over Odin PC, before login i did another factory reset with Wipe every thing, than i loged in, it worked, though a bit slower than GB, i rooted with Ketan methot withoth CWM i played with rom a few hours than i decided to do app restore with Titanium..., and i sleeped, in the morning looked like every thing was restored, but very meny apps that i restored over Titanium gave me FC, and the OS itself was very unresponsive, i thought that is because i restored with app+data option, decided to do another wipe with factory reset with intention of restoring only app without data, so in stock recovery i did wiped every thing, but it got stocked when i choosed factory reset, after some time i pulled the battery..., and after that nothing was working, got stock in boot looping, no recovery, but download mod, and tried to flash different roms GB and ICS through PC Odin, it can not finish the process, tried to flash differnet kernel and it worked, finaly got CWM but without turning on the phone, still bot looping, tried pit, still not working, odin can not finish the process, it does not give any error but it seems to flash forever without finishing, i flashed again LPY kernel CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5, to get CWM, i tried to restore a CWM backup of GB and it worked, that backup was with Abyss Touch Kernel 4.2, wich i get it once the restore finished, still boot looping, tried to format every (not wipe) thing from Abyss CWM (formated data, system, cache, eemc), and i did fine, still boot looping, can not start the phone. I decided to let odin to see if it will ever finish to flash a stock non rooted gb rom...

But i am open to any sugestion. Please help me!

Thank you!

I read just the first part of your post, given the lack of time (dedicated to my mom, it's mamy day, today!) and i honestly thought my experience:

Given that I flashed ics stock via mobile odin with no wipe, at first reboot cache was rebuilt and apps were adapted to ics (the message on reboot informed me about).

On that, when I read that you restored apps via tb, I could think that the re-adaption lacked....

Well, apart from this useless and endless brain-storming, what I could suggest is to flash a fullwipe Rom. I mean a real fullwipe Rom like lc1 pre-rooted on the relevant thread. I solved my down grade from leak ics just in this way. I can't imagine a stronger solution.

Let us know, probably you won't be' the sole person affected. Hope you success.

I did it!! Flashed the firmware first (and after boot didn't go out of bootscreen with SGN white text on black background) and later I used InitialCFRootFlasher to flash latest CF-Root kernel with CWM.

PS: for those who have Titanium Back-up pro, after ICS upgrade, you need to update Titanium also.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] norge-xda:
You are welcome :)

Probably you did but when you flash a new Rom with new kernel, the new kernel overrides the previous one in which resides the cwm. Mobile odin correctly rooted the rom but applied the stock kernel embedded in the Rom you flashed, hence just root without cwm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] programatix:
Hi,

For those who flashed stock kernel using Mobile Odin with root injection feature, your device is actually rooted but the BusyBox might not be initialized properly. If you do not want to flash CF Root (or other custom rooted kernel), install any BusyBox installer from Google Play and use it to install BusyBox. After that you'll get full root access.

Alternatively, you can install Superuser from Google Play and use it to install BusyBox, however Superuser would replace Chainfire's SuperSU.

Gentlemen, stick to actual development discussion and stop the petty bickering. Any more and some infractions will be handed out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
Ok so it still isn't really clear if the problem is still present in LPY, or if the issue is "left-over" due to previous ROMs.

It's all possible. Either way, what I wan't to make absolutely clear again:

If the problem is present in CF-Root LPY (and it's not a "leftover" problem from previous ROM - this is possibly the case), then it's also present in stock LPY. This means you *can* randomly brick your phone even if fully booted into Android, under heavy I/O load.

(on the Note there normal and recovery kernels are the same, and CWM is just a userspace program, nothing special(!) - so if the problem can happen in CWM, it can happen in Android)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
Additional information: I've seen at least one report of someone's device dying after a wipe in stock recovery, and one report of someone's device dying by doing a factory reset in Settings.

Which confirms everything you just said.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
Wrong. There's at least one confirmed report of a brick due to wiping in stock recovery on XXLPY, and at least one confirmed report of bricking after doing a wipe from Settings on stock XXLPY.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Robotu:
Guys, could this be true? Is there any hope? I am not so sure but i think you are some the most experienced here, or at least for this topic, an i mean, chasmodo, chainfire, entropy...

Originaly posted by jgaviota: "What I think is happening is that the information about the partitions is being corrupted by the format, in a way that cannot easily be recovered.

As far as I can see ALL the bricks resulted from a format, either via a wipe from recovery or from the install script of Stunner.

Was there any change in the way a format is made from a GB kernel to an ICS one?

If the partition info that gets corrupted is from a partition that does not hold the pbl or sbl then the phone can get into download mode or recovery, but if the partition info that gets corrupted is for any of those two then you have a black screen hard brick.

Has anyone that has a bootloop brick (where you can still go into Download mode) tried repartitioning from latest Heimdall from Linux?

If it is not the partition info it's something like that, maybe some kind of access table...

Anyone has any technical info on the emmc chip used here, and how the partitions are stored? Also any info on the booting process for our exynos? Has AdamOutler made an UnbrickableMod for any of the afflicted devices?

An UnbrickableMod could help us by giving lower level access to the boot process.

BTW I'm an electronics engineer, but I don't have access to the documentation, or to the right tools, and also I don't have the soldering skills to try to develope an UnbrickableMod."

However, guys at Epic 4G Touch forum have started a painstaking investigation process to establish what is really causing the bricks. Read about it here:

@CF, Entropy

After 1 week of questioning and doubts, one simple question comes in mind : Do we stay in ICS-LPY (without wiping, backuping, restoring, large file handling), or do we revert to GB ? You understand that your advice, opinion, feeling is more than crucial to most of us ! And please, an unequivocal one ! Thanks.

(NB : My personal experience = update from LC1+CFroot to LPY through mobileodin, WITH full wipe. Everything ok, for instance 3 CMW nandroid backups I did, though these were 20% slower than the GB backups for approximate same file size (1,5GB). BUT, the day I tried to restore one of these nandroids, my Note stuck badly in Samsungs logo. After 2 hours of 3-finger efforts and battery removals, I was able to start in stockrecovery and flash through pcodin GB KJ1 factoyfs, then flash again LPY through mobileodin, with everroot, without CF kernel. It still works, but I feel so unsafe without reliable backup-recovery!!!).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] andromeda1968:

See how your phone is identified in your build.prop.

You know what NOT to do, so stay on ICS, don't do it, and you'll be safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
CWM uses "rm -rf" to "format" a partition before restore, it's not a proper format. So I don't think that's related.

And I meant this, at the bottom of the linked Page above...

I found a way to manage partition in the Kindle Fire forum using a programme named "parted" under adb environment. So for those with super-brick Note if you can still get into recovery and have patients then I think should try this way to recreate the damage partition and then restore the system rom. It is a bit tedious to read the guide in the first post and some other guides inside the threat but if you follow the instruction with some adjustment for the different between Kindle fire and Note I think i should work (hopefully).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1388996

I suspect that only some block of the MMC is damaged, then in that case you can resize the good media partition to make room to recreate the damage partition in there to make the system work. I have successfully recreate data/cache and media partitions in my Kindle Fire and make it work after I messed with the data partition.

I use a Kindle Fire but my wife use a Note and I have rooted it and install some roms. I was tempting to install ICS until I read this thread and decided to hold on for now.

on 4pda.ru users have an idea that it is a problem with CWM not new kernel from samsung. maybe because this CWM for 2.3.6 Roms and not for ICS? Or something like this ... sorry for my bad english...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
Ok, listen to me carefully, because I'm only going to say this one more time. (Please link to this post if the argument ever comes up again).

It's NOT CWM. CWM is just a userspace program. There is *nothing*special* about CWM. It runs on top of the kernel, the same as any other program. It doesn't do anything *magical* on these ROMs. It just uses a recursive delete on partitions during format.

If the problem occurs during CWM, it can occur during any program!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
1) People have experienced these problems with CWM 5.5.x

2) People have experienced these problems when wiping with STOCK recovery as stated before

3) See Chainfire's previous post at <need to dig up the link>

Are you sure about that? If that were the case, on RFS devices, changing the backup .tar names from .rfs.tar to .ext4.tar and doing a restore wouldn't be all you need to perform a partition type conversion. (Over in the Galaxy Player forums, we call that "ghetto lagfix".

Yup - CWM formats the partitions except in certain circumstances, none of which should trigger on this device. See the logic in nandroid_restore_partition_extended() in nandroid.c
