i just flashed midnote 1.2 and scared ****less
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Anonymous Vagrant:
if i had used the cf-LPY kernel already doing wiping and clearing cache and flashing .zips, i don't encounter any hard bricks but will it affect my GNote in the long run?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Vulpix:
Well, try not to flash anything for now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PeterGChan:
I heard or read that it takes some cycle about maybe 20 to 30 times wiping to hard brick. That's what I read though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
It should be safe, just use PC Odin for both operations.

Nobody knows that yet, my friend. Just don't do any formating or wiping from the CWMR and await further reports..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gangreu:
And about this info found on OP, anyone can give more details?

"Deleting large files while fully booted may also cause problems with your flash memory."

Ty!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
ykk_five i hope this not some bad advertise campagne of you so that we all going to use your next update kernel for this rom :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
It means that flashing, restores and wipes might harm your Note - anything that involves formatting or wiping from CWMR.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] m3dd0g:
I think the biggest problem is when people are formating in cwm. I wipe data cache/dalvik a lot of times and have no issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gangreu:
Ty Chas, just a double check (noob thing), if I have a 2GB file on internal storage, can I delete it without problems then?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Not sure about that...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Kikouyou:
Here is what you do:

Mobile odin CF CWR LPY kernel

CWR Abyss42RedTouchOriginal

Reboot in recovery

Nandroid restore your Rocket
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] firasusman:
yeah..

very very very very baaaad kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ashkan_mc:
I did a full wipe yesterday via cwm :( of course nothing happened but what is gonna be then ? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gangreu:
Ohhh Dear Lord that is bad =/, if CWM was the main problem i can live without it, but Large files can happen...

If anyone else have more info about it plz share it.

Ty
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Kikouyou:
Those who did full wipes have seen more problems
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] prodigiez:
lol im about to flash this official rom , and i got stuck in this thread with hesitation.. :p

guess im all good with stunner now... not a fan of spen app ... btw thx for the friendly reminder.. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Yeah! Make us a safe kernel so we can f@ck it up with OC and UV... :screwy::rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
Yesterday? Brick will happen after four days. So have fun the next two days with your Note. Joke:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PeterGChan:
No one knows what will really happen in the long run. Even I wipe in CWM just before I got this news.:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] musashiro:
can i just flash DXLC2 straight from mobile odin??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tbong777:
Looks like I will be staying on my current ROM for awhile......

Strange goings on. Thank you to all the brave early adopters of these new updates for sacrificing your devices for the latest and greatest. I applaud your courage....

I am not sure at this going ICS is even worth upgrading to. S3 is out. Note II should follow this Summer or Fall. I definitely would not buy a used Note at this point that was not completely stock or ever had ICS on it given these issues. Crazy.

I am sure this will get sorted out and things will will be safe again.

Again THANKS to those who tired these things. you should all be getting donations.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ashkan_mc:
When doing full wipe via cwm, maybe you face some problems. I did it and now it is ok. Of course I don't know anything would happen in future or not
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
Haha yes if i want to brick my phone that i want to do it and not samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hykhleif:
i am totally confused

is the kernel infected

or the stock LPY rom infected

so what do we have to wait for to get LPY rom safe on our note

i went back to GB until this is settled
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Djinn Moto:
You guys scared me a lot.

So, is it possible for me to PC Odin to GB stock ROM? And then flashing stunner ics? Well everything back to normal? And wait for something newer?

Nokia 3310 -> Siemen Scorpion -> LG GL500 -> Nokia NGage -> Nokia 8850 -> Lenovo LP500 -> iPhone 2G 4Gb -> iPhone 2G 8Gb -> LG Optimus One P500 -> Dell Streak 5 -> Galaxy Note GT-N7000 -> ???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
There nothing wrong with the rom. Ore kernel, samsung is just not going to think about xda

Devs and make kernels so we can flash and delete safe with a recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ukicar:
question for a million dollars :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dogan2010:
Is it safe to flash lpy just competly stock

I mean stock rom + kernel without cwm and root?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
Just wait for the sourses to be realesd and than mess with ower phones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Djinn Moto:
I've already flashed and rooted this ROM and I'm really scared right now. So what do you say? Is it possible too do as I mentioned above or what?

Nokia 3310 -> Siemen Scorpion -> LG GL500 -> Nokia NGage -> Nokia 8850 -> Lenovo LP500 -> iPhone 2G 4Gb -> iPhone 2G 8Gb -> LG Optimus One P500 -> Dell Streak 5 -> Galaxy Note GT-N7000 -> ???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Visca Barca:
Sorry guys, i think i already know the answer to my Q, but from what i understand,

IF u stay away from CWMR while being on ICS with CF kernel, nothing will happen?

So my plan is to keep using my phone as usual, not modifying anything til further notice. Is my plan good or bad or nobody knows?

Same here. I am currently on LPY stock without root or cwm, everything "seems" fine, but I don't like having the word seems in the same sentence as fine. I read through all the different threads and and need clarification on one thing. It says to change the kernel if your on the affected one. So should I pc odin an unaffected kernel or should I be getting off this updated rom completely. My note has no warranty so I am trying to be as safe as possible right now :(.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mehalaktas:
I guess there is no problem with the stock rom and stock kernel. I guess this time Samsung trying to restrict people to flash custom roms by using third party recovery solutions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Kikouyou:
Yes kernel has a bug which is affecting CWR AND Android booted (rooted version of LPY, don't know about the other one)

It seems that most of us have been able to flash Abyss42RedTouchOriginal from this CWR anyway and restore whatever stable build we had a backup of

If your nandroid backup is from an ICS build, it can only be restored with Abyss42RedTouchOriginal

m i safe ?

hey friends just a quick question

m i safe on MIUI Rom ?

sorry i bought my phone 2 days back and m a newbie i dont knw much about NOTE kernals.

i would really appreciate your help

and also is there a risk if i move or delete a large file on MIUI ?

i upgraded to MIUI rom from a GB rom

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
Damn i tought by rooting this rom my phone now belongs 100% to me, Not samsung still owns this phone.

I reported this thread...................to SAMSUNG
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Kanalcommander:
It's hard to figure out what is how dangerous after one day. The number of reported issues is way too small. Maybe some scenarios didn't cause bricks yet just by chance and other scenarios which caused brick were really bad luck and occure once in a million.

I guess the safest way would be to shut down your Notes and wait till there are gathered more experiences.

Of course it's the most inconvenient way.

My understanding is that I can stay rooted and use root features such as titanium and adaway, as long as I don't go anywhere near CWM? does that go for mobile odin too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Djinn Moto:
So I guest this time back to rooted ginger bread ROM for safety and further notice.

Any custom ROM for GB that was good?

Too late

I think is too late for me. I load the LPY kernel from chainfire, using its CWM and know ky phone is going only to the firts screen "Galaxy Note GN-7000" and then is off. Unable to connect to PC, unable to restart it. Any solution for this?

:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dogan2010:
Omg cwm is dangerous!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ykkfive:
no, and i had not release any rom since day 1, no matter for I9000, I9100 or N7000, although i cant say i will never in the future

but anyway, don worry. in my mind, it's the users come first and that's why i issued this warning, as well as some others but eventually dropped into the gerenal thread :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
No download mode? You where first on non rooted ics and you flashed with odin the kernel?

Can you go to recovery, if you can than i hope you have redpill kernel on your sd and i hope you have a gb nandroid backup to restore.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tbong777:
Works for us cowards....LOL I applaud the brave and impatient though,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MDCWLK:
Just to be sure i flashed back to GB (Good old DarkyNote).

If everything is sorted out with the ICS issues i'll go back to ICS.

This is how i did it:

* Flashed N7000XXKK5 (stock) directly via PC Odin (I didn't wipe my phone first)

* When Odin finished, my SGN rebooted and every process ForcedClosed!! Damn!!

* After i wiped the sweat from my forehead, I booted into Recovery and did a full wipe.

* Now everything is OK and i'm back on 2.3.6

* From here i rooted my SGN and flashed DarkyNote....the best GB out there ;)

* Now i will patiently wait till ICS is 100% save :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] robertberma:
I belong to the brave and impatient and i ad the lucky one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Kikouyou:
If you see the Galaxy Note logo there is still hope

Try reboot in Download mode, volume down, power and home button reboot and PC ODIN a GB build

Other solution is Volume up, power, and home reboot into samsung recovery and wipe cache and see if it boots, can also try full wipe and see if it boots.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dimcus:
Maybe I'm totally wrong, but as far as I understand, any (massive?) file operation with this kernel could be dangerous. That means that you may corrupt flash memory allocated for /sdcard partition by copying/deleting some large file/group of files (some movie, perhaps), or /data partition by installing/uninstalling some large app. So it may be a good idea to stay away from using ICS ROMs for a while.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ykkfive:
after reading your post, i went to check the source and found that a wipe will call the format_volume function
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ukicar:
Also I can confirm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hykhleif:
so people in germany who got the software update notification via kies for example are safe and don't have to worry

is it possible to just flash the stock official LPY rom without the cf root kernel

as i don't care about root, and how as i did not recieve any update notification for ics as i don't live in germany

by the way i felt that the LPY with cf root felt laggy might that be due too for cf root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ykkfive:
r u able to turn the phone on? if u can see "Galaxy Note GT-7000" then u r safe probably
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dado75:
Goddamit....me being confused....A LOOOT!!!!

RIght now i beleave that I am more domestic in quantum phisic theory that the ICS complex nature of bricking SGN or not :)

So...I am already succesfully flash stock rom and keep root. In CWM wiped all and flashed Chainfires kernel. For now all works as it should. If I dont use CWM anymore, at least until we find the solution, i will be fine, no hardbrick or am I wrong?

Tnx 4 tips ;)

Be safe....be hardbrick free...and love your SGN :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maurolon:
I cant do anything. Trying holding the volume buttons and the ON/OFF nothing happens.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ykkfive:
if, if nothing happened, then, bricked
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anilisanil:
So how many bricks so far? As far as I could read it was just one guy.

Anyone else than @chasmodo brick their phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
Any more victims of hard brick on stock - nonrooted ICS ?

I'm tired of all this.

Is Samsh*t making profits by bricking and selling motherboards ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mccmjoon76:
Did any user having hard brick at this point :confused:

I'm on my ROM with Stock ICS as base .. working fine and using CWM for customize my build ..

So far now still stable ..hope the Build running fine ;) finger cross ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
I'm gonna flash that sh*t. I never flashed leaked roms or even Cyanogen. Now enough of this.

If I hardbrick, I'll convince them Kies or OTA bricked while upgrading.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
I dont think so. it bricks in CWM and samsung doesnt expect an end user to use CWM. If you do, then you are voiding warranty. If you dont, you shouldnt get this bug.

What looks to me is that Samsung is in a win win situation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maurolon:
@Kykouyou

Thanks for your repply. I am doing what you set. Pressing volumen down, home and power. The phone is displaying downloding qith the android icon. Made another mistake?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ahalford:
To be sincere, I performed wipes through CWM not less than 10 times since yesterday, trying various configurations. Everything is ok so far...(fingers crossed).

But, there is something buggy in all variations - no deep sleep in standby (although CPU Spy says it exists), and "Android OS" process eats the battery. Don't know, if it's kernel's fault or something else. Now I'm after wipes and fresh install, no backups restore, etc. Lets see.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
I've been jumping between cm9 and lpy since yesterday

Flashed rooted and stock lpy.. and also came back to cm9 without any issues

All seems good and smooth..don't think its an issue. And as anil said I don't see anyone with hardbricks on lpy except one guy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ask77:
If official ICS release is installed without CWM or rooting it should be absolutely safe, otherwise samsung will have to replace mainboards right and left since all notes are less then one year old and all of them should be in warranty. Also if there is a hardbricked under warranty Note sent to the service center how can they tell whether it had rooted or modified kernel installed if the flashed ROM is unreadable ? There can be many reasons for the hardware to fail and cause hardbrick.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] notegalaxy:
Problem is, when Samsung release a new rom... is that not going to call on the volume wipe function (or whatever its called) so potentially thousands will get hard bricks?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
And is there any update by sammy on twitter or fb, accepting there's bug in the rom/kernel ?

Sorry guys I do not use twitter and facebook.

I still think 100% stock without even root would be a safe bet.

Please don't take this as an advice I'm no expert.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
Same for me...no deep sleep possible and i tried everything

And no wakelocks showing up in Better Battery Stats.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
Yeap agreed... all is good. Flashed and wiped a few times on lpy stock.. lpy rooted from cm9 and now back to cm9... all is good ..did clean installs too. Don't see any issues..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Marchintosh:
I have ICS in stock with cf-root. The hardbrick is caused by ICS Repack, can i understand it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ahalford:
And I have two suspects - kernel (long, long road to discover) and modem. Actually, I heard some complaints about wi-fi, and I think - could it be this? Now I'm on mobile internet, at work (night shift), and later then I will turn wi-fi off at home to check this issue. So, at the morning I will report the first part, and later - 'bout wi-fi. What does confuses me - I tried LB2 modem already, and it's very same story. Also, there is mad power consumption during browsing the net, whatever browser I used...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] goofy584:
keep cool

As far as I understood the guy mixed the kernel with another ROM, modem .... and was a heavy flasher! I'll stay on the LPY (without playing around with CWM) and I'm sure that there is no risk for "normal" users.

If I brick I will inform you :o

:D

PS: My note runs as a swiss clockwork - fast, stable, wonderful battery life, deep sleep, no wake locks ... a real pleasure!

No risk - no fun - lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
Changd modems up and down, clean installs with stock gb before, pc.odin and mobile odin....it ended all up with same result: no deep sleep

Now i am back on cm9 with nandroid and everything is perfect as it was before

I am not quite sure i tested deep sleep without root...but i think i remeber havin no issues...but as no root is also no option for me, i did not stay on that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ykkfive:
what?? r u serious??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ahalford:
No mix, I think...just added CWM+SuperSU binaries, it just seems, that those binaries are a little bit incompatible with the new kernel.

We'd be glad to see some reports from people, who uses stock kernel after clean install (wipes, no backups, etc.) tell us your bugs, issues, if exist. So maybe we'll be able to isolate problems for CF kernel and rom itself issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] notegalaxy:
Gotta be kernel related then. Entropys kernel is the only safe one at the moment doesn't it seem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ykkfive:

yes, rooted

i cant live without root. so even there's no rooted mod, i'll root it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
Hm...maybe it depends on various versions from lots of mirrors people downloaded the package...there might be corruptions in some of them?? Just guessing...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] wildalan:
guys i really think there is no problem with CWM and recovery... the problem is recovering a GB when u r on ICS...

if u are on ICS and wanna go to GB just flash a stock GB rom root it normaly then restore using recovery... i think these ppl having issues are the ones recovering their nandroids directly from ICS and wanna go back to GB

this is my personal opinion and u r free to accept it or not

personaly i think

cwm is safe only we need to use our brains a bit and not be hasty
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
Thats not the issue we are discussing right now, though you are rght with the nandroid thing from ics to gb
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ESANEST:
I update with odin mobile and CF root, previous flash Ginger official with odin mobile, no problems.

Reboot recovery no problems

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ykkfive:
personally, i don have problems going back from ics to gb and forth before

and what i am thinking is, it could be a very low level problem (eg down to the kernel). so once u trigger it via format or such, then your phone will be bricked. if this is the case, then surely not cwm's problem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] wildalan:
all of us here made a full wipe using cwm i think...so who had a problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Yucko:
First we need to get some idea on how many Notes really got bricked and really take a look at what the owners did from the moment they flashed LPY up until the moment it got bricked.

Until then, pointing to the LCY kernel as the guilty part sounds a bit hasty to me.

* no problems with LPY so far, but then again .. I did flash and rooted using Mobile Odin Pro and the Everroot function *
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sudisk:
I rather believe that Samsung definitely changed something in their ICS kernels that made them incompatible with CWM wipes. Some may believe it to be paranoia but I'm starting to wonder if they did it on purpose.
