man when i read that i was like dam that is not a joke, and bing bang boom back to GB darky 3.4.1 rom is the greatest, as sorry ICS leaks does not worth it with all its problems it already has and now this scary threat of bricking my device due to kernels in those leaks, no way i am on GB again until an ics official release

how many of you did the same , and which rom did u go back to and why

thanks god i did not brick my device, and never ever will i jump into any leaked roms that are not first officially released

I went back to Stock + rooted (PC Odin flash) from ICS stunner (which is a great ROM btw) after reading about the risks of the leaked repack kernels from Entropy512, not to mention the various horror stories by those less fortunate than myself.

There but for the grace of God go I...

I'm going to go for the CM9 version once its a bit more mature (looks really good already on build #3), or wait until a safe kernel is brought into ICS Stunner.

The official ICS might even come out soon...not holding my breath though :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squicky:
I've flashed many ICS ROMs, but I was lucky as I stick to Redpill Recovery procedure of going back to GB and never tried anything with ICS kernels (well almost as I used their CWM Recovery to flash Abyss Kernel 4.2 with Redpill). I'm daily using CheckROM with jKay MOD + DarkyOTA (for easier modifications) and for now I'm happy with it. I've checked what ICS has to offer and now I'm waiting for official version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
There is no need to stick with GB ,I just upgraded from GB to cm9 for the first time

Cm9 contains a safe kernel so you don't need to worry about flashing it .

Been on ICS for a week now

First on AOSP ICS 4.0.4 for awesome UI, next Criskelo ROM 4.0.3 for better speed.

So far so good!

Still doesn't die on me!!

Go ahead and flash it baby!

Dun be a wuzz!

Any recommendations for other ICS variants?

I am still on ICS Stunner and will stay on it. I dont see a reason for changing a stable system with awesome battery life and such great daily performance use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
Loved Stunner's roms but reverted back to GB because of the hard bricks.

Now running CheckRom V6 with AbyssNote 4.2 and Nemus Launcher. Very stable rom, fast and good battery life.

As soon as CM9 matures a bit or Stunner implements the open source kernel I'll probably flash back to ICS. Who knows, maybe Samsung will release ICS in a few weeks.

While his advice is to the leak in general, I think it is VERY clear the problem (SO FAR) has ONLY been caused by the botched Kernel by Angelom and the 1 bad version of Stunner (before fixed).

No one (reported) has EVER been bricked by any other leak/ICS Build on the Note.

There is always a risk, it could happen again with another modified ICS Kernel Build, but it is my opinion based on plain common sense and the facts that no one is going to be bricked using the ICS Leaks currently being used by MANY and having never had a problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
The problem resides in the leaked Samsung kernels that's the base of any and every custom ICS rom currently released in the dev section except for the CWM9 roms.

I've flashed a crapload of ICS roms in the past two weeks, I think I've been alternating between roms at least 15 times and wiped even more but that's absolutely no garantee that my luck won't run out at some point. The moment I've read the posts from people that absolutely know what they're talking about I reverted back to a GB rom. Waiting a couple of weeks for an official update beats not being able to use my Note.

Soft bricking, losing all your data, instability, battery drain, those are the 'normal' risks you should be prepared for when flashing any rom but hard bricking your device beyond JTAG repair is a major thing. It's a garanteed motherboard replacement and Samsung will not give you warranty.

You are wrong, there have been plenty.

I'm currently using Stunner with the DAFUQ kernel. Its kinda buggy but it still beats Gingerbread. Not gonna give up my precious tablet UI!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sswagonman:
i am one of those suckers that got bricked by this issue. it is a risk when flashing experimental leaks. it sucks the big one but i knew this was a possibilty when i started flashing. it happened after i had flashed dozens of times with different roms and mods. you just have to suck it up and realize this is always a risk no matter what you are flashing or whether you have done this before or not. luckily i had everything backed up so i have not lost much except my note for a few weeks and maybe a couple of hundred dollars. i am still waiting for mine to be repaired.

very true man and same here.

was a very happy and heavy flashoholic in ICS untill the warning. Have been lucky sometimes by just switching to stock from ICS by Abyss kernel only not red pill even shutting down system instead of rebooting to Red pill. Lol but even after all this damm-i-may-be-hard-tym-screwed i was quite a lucky fella. Even ignored the kernel Warning by Entropy too, but lol man, a comment by a user in stunner that even copying a file more then 200mb to the Note can also fry your system, dammm i was like stoned. Even didnt tried it out against my such a good luck and bamm yesterday i was back to GB.

Even right now i am a happy flasholoic in GB by trying every version here and switching between them with a ratio of 2roms/day.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3x3cut10n3r:
I'm going to stick with ICS Stunner for the moment. I always flash Abyss and use RedPill for all 'Recovery' related things anyway.

I'm sure that soon all ROMs will be rebuilt without the leaked kernels and have all the features we currently have but, until that time, I'll keep using the leak based ROMs.

It would bother me, taking a 'step back' to protect myself against something that 'might' happen.

This is all personal preference though, I certainly do not advocate or recommend that anyone do the same as me.

Guess i got to wait till 10th of may..the newer os as stated is not relevant to my question, because other custom roms like stunner have this aswell
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
The principle difference between CM9 and all other ICS releases is that CM9 contains a safe custom kernel.

Everything else ICS-based uses leaked LP1, LP5 and LP6 kernels which can potentially brick or harm your phone.

However, there are two CM9 Roms here in Development:

imilka's CM9 (discontinued, coming with unreliable kernel)

official CM9 (safe)

I just read about the danger of leaked kernels :

If you are running an affected kernel:

STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY. FLASH A SAFE KERNEL USING ODIN/HEIMDALL.

DO NOT wipe in recovery

DO NOT flash anything else in recovery

In general, DO NOT use recovery at all

I'm on ics stunner 1.4.26.1 with the leaked kernel stated below and want to go to cm9 but i read this :

- DON'T flash FROM i9220 LEAKED REPACK!

So can somebody explain what i need to flash before i can flash cm9 ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
You need to flash a stock GB ROM using PC Odin exclusively

And after wards root and install cm9 via cwm

N.B :if you use your stunner recovery for any sort of flash or wipe ,you'll risk bricking your phone

So please use PC ODIN to return to GB

Hi,

I recently got a new Kindle fire and tried to root it.

I followed the instructions given in this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568340

However, my kindle fire seems to be stuck in an infinite boot loop after first step itself.

Here are the step I followed (I am using Windows 7 32bit).

1. Installed android sdk.

2. Updated the Kindle driver to install "android abd composite interface"

3. Downloaded all the required files in the platform-tools folder

Required files:

fbmode.zip - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1414832

twrp2 - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79

su - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/kindlefire/su

firefirefirefire http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1369405

fastboot + adb for your OS of choice.

4. Followed following commands:

unzip fbmode.zip

adb push fbmode /data/local/fbmode

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/fbmode

adb shell /data/local/fbmode

adb reboot

5. After this, my kindle fire seems to have stuck in an infinite boot loop.

- It starts up only when a USB cable is connected.

- Power light is orange and not green

- It starts up Kindle Fire logo comes up, then shuts down again

- My computer is not detecting any device, probably because KF is in an infinite boot loop

- When I run adb devices -- no devices show up

- When I run fastboot command [fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader .....] it says "waiting for devices"

- When I remove the USB cable from KF, It doesn't powers on (even after long pressing the power button).

- I tried many things posted on different forums on two laptops (Windows 7 32 bit as well as 64 bit) and using different USB cables but nothing worked.

- Only thing I haven't tried is Factory cable as I don't have it and don't have money to buy it.

Superuser not working

Thanks for the help with the charging issue Kinfauns!!!

I charged my kindle fire using stock charger and finally rooted it.

However, I am still not able to install android market on my KF.

After rooting Kindle (followed all the steps given in the thread), I installed Superuser.apk.

Then to install android market, I installed root explorer and downloaded Kindle Fire android market zip file. (followed instructions from one of the NAT3MIL's video on youtube).

First step is to install googleServicesFramework.apk file, which I did.

The next step is to move market.apk file to system/apps folder. However, when I tried doing that, I got a warning:

"Your phone doesn't appear to be rooted. This is requires in order to change or delete protected files such as this ......"

I don't understand why is it saying so as I have followed all the steps in the thread to root my KF?

How to check if the KF is really rooted?

Are there any settings to be changed in the superUser.apk?

Please help!!

Does this mean I have to re-root the KF or just install the su binary file? how to do that?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Download the latest kindle fire utility and rerun it for permanent root.

Known Tricks

If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.

Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.

Copied from the instructions of the kindle fire utility

Above are the tricks if you get stuck but after root install twrp then install fff

I would assume that your not rooted sounds that way to me.

By the way the yellow triangle will be replaced with the new bootloader a white kindle and a blue fire this will be considered the yellow triangle in the description. Good luck

Install permanent root

Install twrp

Install fff

All should be the newest at this point hopefully :-)

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
You don't necessarily have to let KFU do its entire "rooting" process.

If you can get into recovery and you are comfortable with adb, you can follow the "Rooting the stock software" section in this guide...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1638452

to push the 'su' binary into the /system partition and set ownership/permissions.

If you are not comfortable with that, you can use KFU, but it will be doing a lot of extraneous things that you probably don't need.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Under extras you will put on Google frame work and go launcher after you have confirmed bootloader recovery and root note that the market can only be seen using go launcher not the kindle one.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

The easiest way to test root is to download an app that will request root permissions like root explorer for instance if you open the app and you don't see a dialogue pop up requesting permission its very likely that it isn't rooted.

its all in kinfauns post you just need to be it recovery to execute the commands I believe I would paste it here but its just as easy to read them from there

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su not 755 you can probably safely copy and paste the commands from his post right into cmd he has it written up very nicely
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
I think you may be trying to do this while booted into the system software. That won't work because you don't have root access there and you won't be able to mount (or remount) a partition without those privileges. The rest of it won't work without R/W access to the partition, as you've already seen.

To be clear, the device needs to be booted into recovery (TWRP or CWMR) where you do have root privileges. Make sure you start with step one to get the system partition mounted. If successful, "mount" will provide no output.
