the slowness in the apps is partly due to the lack of optimization for ICS. I have a game that i love called Cytus, and the touches are all screwed up, and it runs a bit slower than GB, so not everything is ICS' fault i guess :P
[Xperia Arc General] radheck:
Its a garbage , we need a new kernel at least 3.15 like SGSII not 2.6 , and 4.0.4 not 4.0.3 , so if SONY dont fix nothing a lot of present costumers and future costumers never wont buy a SONY EVER !!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Xperia Arc General] Carl_Arc_S:
4.0.4? is it possible to upgrade to that one if i already used the custom kernel? just asking. :)

Sony may backport some new kernel features to 2.6.32 we dont know yet only wireless module backported from 2.6.39 so far i know

You can flash LT18i 4.1.A.0.562 ICS firmware to your regular ARC, just like me.

Yes,i know that :-)

But i dont want to loose my data and im actually happy with my theme now.

[Xperia Arc General] MatheusSnakepit:
I hope they release it for Neo, cause .562 is laggy and unstable as hell =P

I'd be nice if they implemented new features like they did from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, such as new music player, new widgets, and new useful apps.

Anyways, I'm happy to see Sony cares about her customers, unlike Motorola (don't want to be a fanboy, just telling the truth, Defy is a great example).

Just to clarify, are they Updating the SE Xperia Arc AND the Arc S or are they ONLY upgrading the Arc S??

People seem to refer to the Arc and the Arc S but it becomes confusing as they later go from Arc to the S in a later post.

Thank:)
[Xperia Arc General] groudonzcy:
update arcs is same to update arc

do not you think so?:D
[Xperia Arc General] jayman1986:
Arc and Arc S are 2 different devices.

But yeah id assume the whole 2011 xperia range will be updated to 4.0.4 but as with the 4.0.3 Arc and Arc S will most likely be updated at different times.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Q2V:
Hi

I have bricked my Note after flash new CM9 from XpLoDWilD.

It was in CyanoFree ROM with LP6 modem.

I wipe factory/reset/cache/david

Flash CM9 ver 2

Flash Gapps date 20120429

I think LB2 modem is better as showed on XpLoDWilD screen capture, so plash it.

Wipe again (as XpLoDWilD instruction)

Dead ...

Everything right now completely no react.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
the instructions was (even mentioned in the discussion threads) to flash from a

GB

kernel.

you did not follow instructions, it's your fault. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
yeah we assume you flashed from a GB kernel and NOT a leaked ICS kernel..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Q2V:
I posted it here is not for penalty, Just for people warning

Think that the ROM have problem because it's not just easy to brick the phone by wipe data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sp_setsuna:
I read that it's very risky to do a wipe with a leaked ics kernel and can burn your emmc.

Maybe if you had followed the instruction your phone will be ok now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TML1504:
guys.....

although OP (perhaps) caused brick by himself, it's not nice to be "glad u bricked"!

just be polite and professional, hint him at his fault with a smile, but not this way!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
No, CM9 doesn't have a problem, the kernel you wiped with has a problem.

There's a reason the instructions specifically told you NOT to flash from an I9220 repacked kernel in red text. But you did it anyway.

The ICS leak kernels are notorious for doing exactly what happened to you, which is why you were told NOT to flash from them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NOZdroid:
OK...so I was trying to read all the pages and took from it this... I'm on cyanofree...

Boot to recovery...flash abyssnote kernel 4.2...reboot into recovery...full wipe...wipe cache. Advanced wipe dalvik. Install zip from SD and flash cm9. So that's what I set out to do. But I got as far as flashing abyssnote kernel and rebooting into recovery...

...recovery keeps flashing the screen and rebooting back to recovery...buttons are unresponsive ie. Volume for up and down...altho occasionally register a press...and it won't boot either...stalls after boot animation...maybe I flashed the wrong kernel but it was from dev section. Or maybe I did the wrong process. .. or maybe the process has this tendency. Can anyone shed any light? Sorry if I missed something obvious ....

I posted in cm9 section also sorry. Just checking in here

Edit : I understand instructions said to do another way but I guess this is a lesson to others following the thread and what others have done won't necessarily work for you. Follow the clear instructions instead of "yeah it worked for me" methods
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Don't care. This happens when you don't read.

But this is an effective way to get rid of the noobs here. Just write an install guide that's longer than 3 lines, and voila! They won't read and then they're gone. Phone is dead.

I'm prob too noob to tell if ur having a dig or not ha. But yeah thanks I will. Appreciate your efforts :)

Few days without my note til I get access to a computer for Odin lol :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Q2V:
No, again (for people pay more attention on flash this CM9 ROM):

- I dont flashed any repacked i9220 ROM, also dont flash any Kernel.

- The problem is i have full wipe after flash the CM9 -> will make brick

- Flash Gapps, Modem, wipe cache .... is safe

As normaly, all other ROM is just request full wipe, wipe cache before flash the new ROM at all, but, because this ROM is another, request make this again after flash the ROM, my mistake is do the full wipe, so pls, pay attention because this is easy make a mistake and expensive!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
we did read as per your original post

This means you're on a leaked ICS kernel because thats the only way you were on CyanoFree..

You skipped the step

FLASH A GB KERNEL should have been step one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nandihno:
among noobs they can be confused..and maybe the CM9 thread should maybe be a bit more noob friendly as in saying.

IF you have any other ICS rom downgrade to GB before flashing to the real CM9 ie downgrade via Odin and flash the pit + repartition..that way you know for sure that you are in a clean state

just my 1.3c

Bricking your device is A real pain. Thanks for the heads up and hope you get back your device soon with minimum loss
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Q2V:
No, i was in LP5 kernel

Edit: yes, youre right, LP5, LP6 is leak i9220 kernel!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
WRONG. You were on Cyanofree which uses a repacked I9220 kernel.

Yet you ignored the CM9 instructions and flashed directly from it anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
It doesnt matter they are BOTH LEAKED kernels..

Dude you didnt follow insturctions!! period!!

I am sorry YOU bricked your device because YOU didn't follow instructions but next time READ before you do something and this wont happen...

Also change your title of this thread because CM9 is NOT the cause of this brick..

GB is boring..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Q2V:
Haha,

Sometime I want to stop this forum, think deeply nothing much change with your phone with custom ROM, they make bugs, then give some correction on next few day by another ROM, again and again.

Follow it take a time, but at the end your phone is not much faster, your battery life same, and you use the phone with same apps at all.

I was long time xda member, from old O2 mini, can i say goodbye here?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
To put it mildly, this is highly inaccurate (thanks, BT).

When I compare my CM9 experience to the first one of running KJA GB, that feels like jumping into a Ferrari after driving an ox cart.

Everything is better, smoother, faster, customizable and the battery life...don't get me started on that.

Your statement simply doesn't hold water, period.

I'm very sorry about your costly CyanoFree ROM-->CM9 fiasco.

However, seeing that you're a member since 2006, I'm amazed that this is your

first brick (if indeed it is the first one).

Please read this

and tell me if there's anything unclear in these few lines?

Flashing instructions are there for a reason. You don't follow them, or bother to read, then on your head be it.

It's as simple as that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iyousif:
You people keep telling us (Noobs) to flash any GB kernel 1st without pointing to a single one!

Can I find someone with link to a GB kernel?

SpeedMod?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
Any CFroot kernel, Speedmod, Franco, Abyss, even FM. They are all in the dev section. Not that hard to find...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Really?? Try the search bar and type cf-root that'll get u started

I agree everyone was a noob once but I learned by looking and searching and reading.. then re-reading.. having a shower and then reading it again.. then reading while doing.

Its not about having your snotty nose wiped for u its about learning

Just saying..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prasad.adam:
IMO don't take this kernel route. Flash Samsung stock GB ROM using PC Odin. Root it using zergRush method. Then flash CM9 following the instructions in OP. Foolproof process in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iyousif:
I was thinking the same but I have a rooted backup GB ROM, it would be nice if I can be able to get back to it.

Yes people, I do read and learn and I mentioned SpeedMod in the same post, but it's always good things to ask experts (You) in some major issues when things can really hurt! I mean Bricked!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prasad.adam:
If you are currently on a leaked ROM/kernel, then even restoring your GB backup is risky. Hence flash directly rootable stock GB using PC Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tupo05:
Some members here are so happy when others brick their phones.

We all were noobs once. I agree people should read and re-read the instructions first BUT this doesn't give no one the right to be rude with beginners.

That's my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zumlachen:
+1 Im not a noob but ive said that someone has to explain and give a link i know its really retarded cause u can search urself but guys just help those who are even lazy and being noobs even if they dont wanna read give them a Link and every possible way to flash like:

You are on GB? do this

You are on Leaked ICS do this

You are on Cyanofree its still LEAKED kernel please do this

Your are on CM9 Imilka or any other Cyanogen is still LEAKED kernel do this those are the same but noobs dont understand.

He said he bricked his device and though its cm9 fault now he did read again

and found out it was his own fault. The point is he found his own mistake and this will make him learn to read next time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Narada2XK:
Even if I'm on a stock Gingerbread ROM that was flashed with Mobile Odin, is it alright to try CM9 out or should I use PC Odin, root then flash?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Q2V:
I think that XpLoDWilD instruction is not clear. Before his Rom, all ICS rom have leak kernel, and I was reflash difference ICS rom before his ROM without problem, so give that all come from other ICS need back to GB kernel before flash his ROM.

I also know XpLoDWilD was bricked his Note before, and his do a hard job for us.

But again, there is many people here don't much know well English, pls give more clear instruction, don't want other brick more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
The instructions are very clear but don't expect them in every language. If you suck at English, find someone you know who doesnt to help you...that simple. I'm so sick of reading about these people wanting their hand held. Yes xplod got pricked but then him and entropy discovered exactly WHY this was happening and they have been trying to prevent this happening to others since. You want them to hop on a plane and come do it for you?!?

I will concede ONE thing: any Rom in development section using repacked kernel should be pulled. But this isn't Hello Kitty for toddlers. This is...XDA

wtf are you talking about? I can barely understand what you're saying.

And phones damaged by the ICS leak kernels can't be JTAGed - it's the first time I've ever seen bricks that couldn't be JTAGed back to life.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
If you are CURRENTLY on stock Gingerbread, you're safe, and it is safe to flash CM9.

If you are on ANYTHING that uses an ICS leak kernel - use PC Odin to get back to a safe kernel.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
I'm not saying the directions aren't clear or defending his moaning. I'm saying any douche who wishes ill or bricks on a noob for asking a question, or for misunderstanding directions no matter if they are clear to them or not, needs a ball kicking.

Surely that's tempting fate ? But anyway much respect to all posters at xda forums for taking me from knowing nothing to having a fully rooted stunner galaxy note.
