As specified by Enthropy512, Deleting large files is also suspected to trigger the bug. If you want to wipe / delete, go to GB kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes, deleting also not a safe in affected kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
As a grey market import owner, I knew I wasn't going to have warranty but I never expected Samsung to ship really dangerously broken ROM's.

I hope they're taking this seriously...

They've been very quiet about it from my perspective.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tsk1979:
So is this 4.0.4 or the same buggy 4.0.3?

Those are non-wipe version so you can try with no problem I guess! right?!

Build Date: 12 May, 2012 (Older than LPF)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Non wipe ROM means Official released version, not leaked.

But it doesn't rule out bug free. You remember LPY was official release and Non wipe, but bugs have started rolling from that only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I'm on German 4.03 and no problems so far even though I've deleted large amounts of data using Samsung "My Files" application. I've not tried a factory reset as I have no need yet.

I love the extra performance and the re-start option instead of have a seperate shut down and re-boot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iyousif:
True they're no leaks, but since the one in ICS can just use PC Odin to upgrade to non-wipe version with no issues? Please correct/confirm that!

Edit: India is GB! 2.3.6

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
In different way i like to say more clear

ICS Flashing with PC odin reported safer.(leaked/official, wipe/non wipe).

But like to add

If your newer ROM contains kernel having emmc bug, still you are on risk to brick. though you have successfully flashed ROM with PC odin. It can be cause problem on wiping device.)

So, till developer/expert don't report newer ROM kernel is free from emmc driver bug, Nothing is perfectly safe.

Edit :

LC1 ??, i think it is old GB ROM released in March

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] unubtanium:
FYI: I have flashed the LPY 3-4 times becuase i had problem with force closes and did forget to wipe.

BUt all of that was before i learned about this bug and i am glad that i still have a working phone. Just hope Sammy will fix/release the source to solve this SOOON. :D

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Man, you are lucky.. careful next time. Doing a factory reset on LPY = cwm wipe => eMMC bug => superbrick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] plsoft:
Agreed, makes sense.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bobotski:
Yes, did the factory reset on LPY.

I already did it twice on LPY which is why I wasn't worried of getting bricked. Dunno, I must be one of the lucky ones, or probably because of my note which mysteriously doesn't have a serial number (just found out today).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rilazi:
I did hard reset twice in LPY too and didn't face any issue.

Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] porcusor:
guys, I did stock wipe in lpy because some FC issues. other than the battery draining too fast, everything was working great. I remember I ticked the options to wipe data when I flashed lpy with mobile odin from gb lc1. now because of the battery drain issue (deep sleep issue to be more exact), I returned to GB.

My point is that you can safely wipe your device in ics once, twice, but the 3rd or 4th (or 'n'th) time it will brick your phone. So having someone admit that they wiped their device safely in LP9 or any other ICS rom for that matter, doesn't mean the rom is bug free.

Just be careful, the improvements in ICS do not outweigh the risk of having a bricked device. Unless u get it bricked by updating through OTA and then send it in SSC for repair. But I still wouldn't fancy having to remain "Note-less" for a few weeks...

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yllivia:
Some people can wipe/flash 20-30 times before hardbricking - Just because you didn't brick once or twice in your case, DO NOT continue flashing or wiping with an affected kernel. Read the PSA by Entropy512 about it please.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] panyan:
after the LPY and LPF fiasco, ill put this one on hold :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] programatix:
The owners in the 4 countries wouldn't care less. If the phone bricks because of ICS, they would just bring the phone to the nearest service center to get the board replaced in 3 hours, well depending on parts availability though...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Assume it does until source is released to indicate otherwise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Deleting large files is unknown. It COULD be OK and not cause ERASE commands to get fired into the eMMC chip - but if it does cause ERASE commands to get fired to the eMMC chip, it's dangerous.

Better safe than sorry, especially since there is currently now way to fix the issue without replacing the motherboard. Possibly eventually a JTAG repair method may be developed (dropping repair costs from $200+ to $30-50), but right now, there is none.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] menghua84:
can anyone help to make a flashable latest baseband out of this LP9?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E90 Commie:
Is it possible to develop some kind of test procedure that reports if the kernel uses MMC_CAP_ERASE or not?

I am thinking of it as an application that sends an erase command to the kernel and report back if it supports that potential troublesome procedure or not.

Otherwise, I guess that the brick reports will arrive shortly since I guess that many users that updated through KIES will get the recommendation of making a hard reset from Settings and then brick their device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
My Observation

Check Fus Downloader still shows the same modification date of LPY firmware.

Modified: 5/4/2012 3:54:36 PM

That means Superbrick bug exists in the LP9 firmware.

If LP9 was bug-free Samsung would have released another update for DBT firmware.

(And releasing another update for DBT would have indirectly confirmed there was bug, so I was expecting new firmware with the same name N7000XXLPY/N7000OXALPY/N7000XXLPT/N7000XXLPY)

WTF is Samsung doing ?

They either don't care about the bug or the German Notes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alejandromsa:
Flashed this rom with mobile odin pro this morning & it rocks. Was on LPY than LPF now this LP9 and i feel this is the better of the three.

Just flashed the "New KingDroid ICS Notemania Edition v1.5" over LP9 and its rocking away.

Android roms are fun, never be afraid to flash or try anything new out there. No woman no cry, no rom i cry, lol

To all newbies, read the forums thoroughly & carefully all the answers & tricks of the trade are in xdadevelopers forum.

I'm a newbie to android, and have a Asus Transfromer & Galaxy Note, never knew android was so much fun till i started rooting & flashing roms.

The fun is rooting & trying out new roms till you find one that suits your stye.

As the saying goes no pain no gain, so its no brick no knowledge gained. When u brick your android that's when u really learn how to handle an android phone.

But most of all "Don't Panic". There's always a way out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
even if the only solution is getting replace by samsung... LOL

another German release means they have ironed out the bug and they are aware of it... but having the ICS source is still a better sign of a fix or sort out the differences of roms...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] programatix:
I flashed from LC2 to ICS without wipe and it upgraded fine. But make sure that it is from stock rom to stock rom.

If the new rom is a wipe rom (data.img is found in the package) you can either use Mobile Odin and choose not to flash data.img or if you are on Linux OS, recreate the tar by removing data.img. If you are on Windows, so far I can't find a good application to create a tar that Odin can read properly.

Any apps that crash after upgrade need to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Normally apps that are installed from market will upgrade fine. If phone crashes (happened to my SGS2), just delete the phone data.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rizdroid:
1) Actually, deleting data.img cannot be enough because cache.img may have a command that wipes data. BTW, this is the case of GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OZSLPF.tar.md5 found in

leaked LPF

... I mean, in that

leaked fw

, cache.img has that "magic line" in command file which wipes data: "--wipe_data" - http://www.mediafire.com/?7f9pe5s3k9l6sjs;

2) Any intermediate Windows user can check img file contents by using fguy's converter, which I revised and now is as fast as the one found in AOSP's ext4_utils;

3) There are a couple of tools that allow users to play with tar files [in Windows] for Odin. I myself use Cygwin when I'm on Gate's SO. ;)
