With respect for your situation, and just because you have confidence with this matter, I think that, perhaps, your statement is wrong too.

There are two things that I wish to put on consideration.

First, you flashed R3 with Modile Odin. Are you sure that flashing went well?

If (for any reason) kernel wasn't updated properly, you could have still the previous one.

Second thing:

What do you expect from service? It is obvious to me that any fault will be addressed in the worst way, to make you pay for that. Knowledge of the engineer is exactly the opposite to a "proof of hard (super) bricking".

Plus: your phone had only 7 days and you received no warranty? You could tell that you had perform a factory reset and your phone was dead.

If you told that you've suffered from the "super brick" bug, you gave them a good reason to earn cash.

I repeat: I mean no disrespect to you, just to made things clear to all.

And the only truth is that we, still, do not have enough evidences: neither to say that removing emmc line in kernel sources is useless, nor to be sure that them are "bug free".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] duowing:
I haven't been following as much lately, but I thought there were problems with doing Nandroid restores from ICS kernels, either official or leaked? Was this issue taken care of once we got official ICS kernels? I just remember seeing people say you need to flash abyssnote kernel in order to do a nandroid restore.

As far as possibly flashing the wrong thing this is a mistake that could easily be made especially if you're flashing the zimage. If you just copied it over to where you've been storing your kernels you could have easily overwritten something or it may not have overwritten the old one. I've done this with flashing modems through Mobile Odin. You'd have to flash the modem, but it had to be named the right way to detect it. I was copying the files and pretty soon I couldn't remember which one I copied. Thinking it was the right one I flashed it and rebooted to see that I had just flashed the modem I already had.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
I've never had any problems with Nandroid restores on ICS kernels other than them being slow (working on fixing that - http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/15642/ )

However, a disclaimer there: I have only run ICS kernels built from the I9100 Update4 base on my device, along with CWM from the CM9 source tree.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ulyaoth:
Last time asking(:P), should I flash this or not? The fact that I wiped while I still am on LPY scares me.... If I should, can I return to stock GB afterwards? I know my way around Odin so all I need is an answer... Thanks again!

thx for help

plz reply بلاش تنفيض
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] REVERSiN:
Well softbrick, hardbrick, superbrick specify more..... by system unusable you mean you flashed through odin and its stock at factoryset progress ?

Saying bricked is fine with me but for god's sake give info you tried flashing either TMT or kingdroid I guess. Btw what firmware was it LPF or LPY ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
Yeah please give us more info. Hard brick / soft brick / super brick.

If it is soft brick, you might hard brick your phone by repartition.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] REVERSiN:
Flash the kernel using mobile odin.... or use CWM Manager with CF-Root kernel by chainfire. No other way than than just don't flash using pc odin you'll have a triangle and counter.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
Yeah. Even on I9100 update4 kernels, I've seen CWM get into a state where /system is mounted RO due to filesystem corruption and CWM can't do anything (won't even unmount the partition to permit reformatting) - but if you clobber the partition with dd or overwrite it with Odin you're fine. It's a form of softbrick completely unrelated to superbrick.

If you run the following in an ADB shell in CWM, what happens?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Given the numerous ways one can "brick" - it's critical to know what the exact symptoms are.

Edit: To be clear, the above should only be run if you're experiencing trouble flashing /system in CWM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crashbfg:
Sorry for no details in 1st post. So it was softbrick.

/system unusable means that CWM hangs during any operations with this partition, PC Odin also hangs on factoryfs flashing.

I've tried flash my own modified rom based on alba lp8 repack, there was no any major mods and games with partitions. Repart allows me to bring it back alive (by flashing abyss and then restore nandroid which I've made before flashing). Lost my /sdcard data of course.

Want to try to repart it back to stock pit, lets see what I'll have then :)

Just want to say that CWM in R3 is not safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
I've experienced this myself. Had to flash a stock ROM (used mobile Odin) to "restructure" the system partition. Haven't had any issues since (this happened back when the first repack came out.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
Hi Entropy,

I just executed the code you wrote few posts earlier

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

My phone rebooted into Clockwork Recovery.

Is it normal ?

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

Damn it now it is stuck at

Samsung

GALAXY Note

GT-N7000

What should I do ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crashbfg:
OK, reparted back with stock pit, but R3 CWM was still unable to even flash another kernel (stuck at Installing update...). Flashed LC1 with PC Odin successfuly, sgn is up an running for now. Continuing my experiments...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
I was not in recovery when I executed it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
It spontaneously rebooted back into CWM? That's strange.

However getting stuck at the N7000 screen afterwards is expected - you need to reenter recovery and flash something. (the command above will wipe /system)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
Alright. I can enter into download mode.

Is it safe to flash stock rom ?

Ok...i tried to brick.my note. ..couldnt do it...i have 2 nandroid backups..one is checkrom v6 and one is kingdroid v2....made restore between them about 8 times...everytime with a wipe and each time worked like a charm...no issues at all..

I must say though my note is actually a pre-unit...rev 0.2...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MR.change:
What you did was effectively replacing your system partition with zeros ,assuming I've learned to read ADB commands correctly .

CWM restore

could have solve it ,you didn't have to flash with Odin

On a related note: this bricking is really getting on my nerves ,when will we have safe kernels again?

Just have to thank!

Great kernel, flashed it with Mobile Odin and so far everything (including WiFi) working.

I have now XXLPY system (I am in Europe), XXLR1 Modem (Realy great, more battery life and better reception than LPY) and Franco's kernel!

I had huge problem with full LPY, very often battery down in 8 hours, now (with BT, GPS, WiFi, and 4 push mailboxes on) I am on 66% after 12 hours with 2 hours internet radio play :).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
What I did was my mistake.

There is not any problem with R3, at least I have not experienced it myself.

I have been flashing/factory reseting with R3 whole day, and I'm yet to brick ;)

Entropy told the other guy to execute that command from recovery.

I did not read the post throughly and executed the command from booted phone.

I thought it returns info if you have bad blocks on eMMC.

My phone then rebooted into recovery, naturally because there was no system to boot into.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ulyaoth:
Can anyone please tell me if I should flash this? If I can will I be able to flash stock GB afterwards? (XXLPY, wiped once while on LPY)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] GocaS6:
Dont push it man, no one can tell you should you flash this or not, your decision, your risk, your work. You've got everything nicely written in OP so decide for yourself! And please dont ask anything else :cool:

Iam gieasing the brick actually depends on the chip module seen in mmc data some has mmc's dated at 2011 othee at 2012 anyone tried to lonk thos issue ? None of the guys who got a brick checked this and now thay they got a mobo change its updated too...

The kernel flashes as for nandroid I don't use it, useless to.me i always wipe and install all pver dummy me who cares :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MR.change:
I never said it wasn't your mistake ,I was referring to the other two guys regarding the bricks .

And btw even if you have done it from CWM it would still wipe system ,entropy wanted to see if the bricked guy had a super brick or not ,because a wipe would have not gone through .

But it's very good news to hear someone flashing with these kernels .

I have to ask ,have you tried a nandroid restore yet from R3? Because that would most certainly prove it safe .

Regarding nandroid restore, let Entropy and Franco investigate the code.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
Before using recovery, you should do the following:

Install CPUSpy

Check the kernel build host and date.

If you see anything like "se.infra" in the info - It's a Samsung kernel, DO NOT USE RECOVERY.

If it's from Francisco but the build date is on or before May 24 - DO NOT USE IT. Francisco made the MMC_CAP_ERASE commit on the 25th.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ulyaoth:
Since I wiped on LPY, there may already be damage to the eMMC, right? So If I really want to go back to GB, should I give it a try now?

I mean, even if I wait for safe kernels to come out, I won't be getting my supposedly damaged eMMCs fixed.

So,(just asking for opinions) should I give it a go? If so, should I flash any stock GB as many instructions say? Or should I flash this kernel first?

"Stock XXLPY/LPF only - confirmed and working" this sentence keeps messing with my mind.. :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MR.change:
Indeed

Isn't it enough to just check kernel build from settings ----->about phone ?

I know that's how I check whenever I change my kernel/modem/ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
No, that's a notoriously poor way of checking what kernel you're on.

I think in CM9 it's improved - but on Touchwizz firmwares (might be improved with ICS) it would just show the base Linux version and possibly CONFIG_EXTRAVERSION if set. I know in Gingerbread, many custom kernels were indistinguishable from stock in Settings->About Phone but there were clear differences if you used CPUSpy.

CPUSpy tells you much more - user@host that built it, and build date/time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] REVERSiN:
Its does show in about detailed enough
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MR.change:
Thanks for clarifying that ,to be honest I mostly just use cm9 ,and it gives the same reading .

But back on GB I tried franco kernel and cf root and as far as I can remember it stated cf root in the about phone ,can't remember about Franco kernel though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DJ-Tumor:
Well I can affirm you that you can EASILY divide CF-Root/Stock from entropys or francos kernel.

So I´d agree with the opinion that it is enough to check in the option "about".

Even tough I have cpuspy always installed and would everyone sugguest to do so.

It´s also a trustworthy partner to check for a working deepsleep function.

I did it also over LPY (CWM:Kernel Cleaner than directly boot in download to flash over Odin PC ) no problems at all!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MR.change:
kernel cleaner means wipe ,and on LPY it's risky ,it's a small file sure ,but if your kernel partitions becomes corrupted due to wiping then your bricked.

a direct kernel flash from CWM would have been at the same level of risk.

I love this kernel, but I really need some resolution for the WiFi DHCP issue. Setting static IP is a fine workaround for APs I own, but is not a solution for any APs which I don't own.

Has anyone who has encountered the Wifi DHCP issue, found a way to resolve it, and get Wifi working WITH DHCP?

If it's an actual problem with the kernel, rather than something trigered by the way we flashed it, or particular ROM/Kernel combos - is there anything we could do to help you investigate the issue Franco?

Really hoping this issue can be resolved - enough people have reported it, so clearly something funky is going on.

Rooting

Download the [CWM zip] and put in your Ext SDCARD ] And [ SU-Busybox-Installer.zip] to SD card (internal memory)

Reboot to recovery.

Choose apply update from external storage. (use vol up/down to select, power to enter)

Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.

Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD(Now use touch function to select choice)

Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip

Reboot

You are done and now your device is Rooted

After flashing CWM, SU installer and Franco's Kernel, this started the wifi problem. I use the stock Lp9 for this.

My previous installation without rooting and just replacing the zimage works fine as i mentioned in my posts.

I think CWM.zip is related to the problem (compatibility). Please look for those who rooted this way. :)
