P.S. Did you update OTA or via KIES?

WARNING!!!

I have just hard bricked my Galaxy Note !It's completely dead.. It froze the moment I tried to erase user data using CWM. The XXLQ2 has the same bug as all previously released official ROMs, such as LPY!!!

My Note is dead and there is nothing I can do about it...

DO NOT PERFORM WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET !!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apd:
Were you wiping in CWM in ICS (i.e. going from ICS to ICS?) rather than installing GB recovery first?

Have you tried following one of the unbricking threads?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vjoom:
I install this rom last night and follow the root procedure provided by Dr Ketan and it works great. I flash Abyss redpill recovery first and wipe everything. And my phone rooted and alive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smsmasters:
With this update I can't use KIES. It says this device is not supported even though it's the latest version... hmmm

Looks like deep sleep is working fine now, how are your sync settings?

I have Facebook syncing every 2h, gmail full time, exchange on manual during peak time and every 2 hours in no peak time...

Dumb question: does wifi full time connected prevent my phone from entering deep sleep?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kurogane_s:
No, it doesn't. But LPY had an issue with the Wifi causing it to wake if set to always awake. LPF fixed that issue for me.

You can always try to install betterbatterystats to check if LQ2 does it as well. I'm tempted to try this ROM, but LPF is too good to move from...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raphael Alo:
I tried installing and check it out but I simply can't understand how to figure out to find my batt drain...I can't understand betterbattery at all :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foosho:
just to share my experience without any responsibilities.

I have been on stock rom all the time, then flashed my note with the German ICS, I didn't know about the bug and reset the phone using the *2767*3855# code, the phone was working fine without a problem, then flashed it with the Taiwanese rom, which include a reset anyway, but I was not happy to have Chinese phone thinking its self a UK one, so flashed it again with the Turkish rom.

As soon the UK version was out I flashed it again with the rom, the phone was a bit slow, guess what! yes a *2767*3855# code and the phone is working very well.

I have never rooted my phone, only once installed the custom official ICS release that and used the JIG to get rid of the yellow triangle and reset the count back to 0.

I know it is unsafe to hard reset the ICS but I am welling to accept the risk, had the phone bricked, I would have been on Samsung case to get even new unopened phone.

finally, I love my note and had a look at Siii, didn't like it a bit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TheTen:
Yes.

Works fine.

Like your signature, by the way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SealsNavie:
Feedback on this rom so far: Apart from looking exactly like Gingerbread, which is extremely annoying and satisfying at the same time...I must admit this rom has no issues so far. WIFI works fine for me and I thought I would comment on this as others have had trouble.

I find it annoying that this rom is an ICS rom but looks like GB, at the same time I am satisfied because you get all those apps and its a change from custom roms. Everytime I flash a custom rom...things feel empty and boring, however...with the Carphone Warehouse rom it feels like how it should.

If I could replace this rom with any other it would have to be that of the Galaxy S3 as that is also stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flex Developer:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jazztrucker:
waj1234

all i did was go back to standard gb 235, root using the doomlord command prompt utility and odin pc, dont do any ota or kies updates, that then gives u stock gb rooted, then purchase and install mobile odin pro, now u can either ota or flash 236 using odin mobile pro or more likely now ics is out, ota straight to ics plus you will keep root as the update to ics is non wipe, thats how i did it.

as for cwm, i didn't bother to be honest, as with having mobile odin pro onboard and titanium backup i feel cwm is redundant, titanium pro version does wipe delvik cache etc if u need it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kurogane_s:
The simplest way is to open the 'Others' tab and compare the 'Awake' time with 'Screen On' time. Then compare the percentage overall with the total time. If your Awake time is very very high percentage, then you have wake lock problem.

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kurogane_s:
Not 100% safe, maybe a 5% chance of bricking.

Probably the better way is to flash Abyss Kernel 4.2, wipe everything, then reflash ICS ROM using PC Odin.

If you still want to do reset, please read this thread first:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662124

If you understand the risk, you may go ahead to reset, I do not hold responsibility if your device gets bricked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
I have factory reset several times without any problems, the problem seems to arise on some Notes...if you are not on a warranty, don't do it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] waj1234:
I did not get mad as it was pointless. I get used to seeing un helpful posts like that on here. I could not be bothered to search at the time.

I just downloaded the firmware and extracted the tar file and flashed it with Odin on PC. Its working fine and better than the custom from it had on it so she is pleased.

That gives the geek time to play with my HP touch pad and cm9 lol. I have a nexus s again as found the note sort of pointless for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HasC:
I had this problem and was about to do a wipe however I found the following blog and thought I'll give it a try before wiping, was sceptical at first but tried nonetheless and guess what? It worked! Did not need to wipe, give it a try before wiping. Here's the link:

http://blog.g4team.com/?p=5631

Phone goes into deep sleep and battery lasts a lot longer :)

Edit-added instructions, no need to follow link:

0. Goto “Settings” –> “Sound”, turn off “Touch sounds” and “Screen lock sounds”

Then, these steps stop the kernel wakelock 100% problem:

1. Turn on “Airplane mode” ( Settings –> Wireless and network –> More.. ) - OR long press power button and pick"flight mode" and enable flight mode at the prompt.

2. Turn off device

3. Take out battery for 10 seconds

4. Turn on device

5. Wait for everything to load

6. Turn off Airplane mode
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
When I was stock un-rooted, Kies showed my device as an XEU device, with LA6 ROM and Kernel, so I am guessing my ROM and kernel were the UK version. My CSC was LA1 (XEU).

Since then, I have rooted my stock LA6 and flashed Abyss Kernel 4.2. I plugged in my Note to Kies, but Kies does not show any version of my device now, and there is no upgrade available. Any solution to this issue? I have changed cables and rebooted the phone and the laptop, but that hasn't helped.

Edit: I just checked with checkfus that the CSC doesn't show for my device. Could that be the problem? What and how can I enter the CSC for my device, if that's the issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
I took the plunge, as no one responded, and flashed the UK ICS ROM (unbranded) version over my rooted stock GB via Odin 1.87. Things look fine except two major issues.

1. I experienced this problem with LPF and I am experiencing it again on LQ2 - the wifi speed goes up to 200-300 KBps, while on GB it was 9-10 MBps. I had ended up bricking my device a couple of weeks ago trying to sort this wifi problem out, so would appreciate if someone can suggest a solution to get the high speeds back on wifi. I am in the US and have a UK Note.

2. I noticed in the standard version of Quadrant that the total score has reduced by almost 1000 points. On stock GB, my scores used to be 3800-4000, but on LQ2, the scores are 2900-3200. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: Hmm, interesting. Both of the above issues have sort of solved themselves - not sure how. For the wi-fi issue, I made the edits to the "ccode" in files using Root Explorer as directed in this post by vaio. Although, after making the edits, I still had low speeds on wi-fi, and since then, I rebooted the phone twice, turned the wi-fi on and off, and BAM! The wi-fi speeds are back to normal after a few hours!

The Quadrant scores are now in the range of 3700-3950, which is not bad. So this is quite interesting, and it would be good, if some dev can analyze this issue and results. I am inclined to draw a correlation between the slow Quadrant scores and the low wi-fi speeds, but I hesitate as those are two different aspects of the device.

Edit #2: I reverted back to the original settings for the "ccode" and the wi-fi speeds are still high and the Quadrant scores are in the range of 3700-3800, so I am really stumped now why I was getting low wi-fi speeds and Quadrant scores in the beginning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhijit038:
Well, I have installed almost all of the official ICS firmware released by samsung so far.In each case, I wiped my device thrice or perhaps more times just to verify so-called "emmc Bug".

I didn't face any problems though.I have always been on stock firmwares and never rooted my phone.I personally think that all this rumor about "EMMC bug" is just a facade (even GB issued this command). I believe that developers aren't used to ICS on note yet.So I say stop being paranoid about this issue.Nonetheless, you can always claim your warranty if you have always been on stock.

I finally took the plunge and upgraded my hong kong note with GB chainfire root to LQ2. No.wipe and no problems.

It got stuck on the instaling apps screen, but I restarted it and went back into the installing applications screen but finished in a few minutes and all was working.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rxpaul:
It is neither a 'facade' nor a conspiracy issue. It is, unfortunately, verified and done so by many senior guys here (not just noobs). You are entitled to ignore the issue though, since you find comfort in your warranty.

Also it is very disrespectful to suggest that developers aren't used to ICS and hence all the hoi-polloi about EMMC bug. You seem new, so hang around and go through the stuff that has been done on XDA. You may or may not realize it, but the devs here are de facto some of the brightest minds in the tech world. Granted they haven't solved the world's poverty issue but neither has anyone else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mephisto_POA:
any way to root this one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Arthur Hucksake:
Poorer battery life compared to other ICS roms I have used.

Quite a few wakelocks appearing more often so I have flashed the newer radio. See if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tdodd:
I used the instructions at the top of the first post here....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

.... to root both LPY and LQY. No problems with the root in either case.

Unfortunately I'm still not happy with the unpredictable/random battery drains of ICS so I'm back to unrooted GB (LC1) at the moment. I also used the brick checker, and my phone is vulnerable, so another reason to stay off official ICS for the moment.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
"remember again..this bug is present only for those that change roms frequently"

Incorrect. I distinctly remember two guys hardbricking after Odinning LPF directly

on a non-rooted (or should I say never-rooted) stock GB Rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] handfish:
Thanks for the info.

Considering the build time of this firmware, I assume that this new south Asia version also has the same potential eMMC issue.

I am not sure why Samsung is still releasing new ICS firmwares when there is an eMMC bug (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661616) that they should have fixed first.

Note that I assume that this one is official as people mentioned that they received OTA notification. Perhaps updating to ICS via OTA is considered safe by Samsung??!!

Am I missing something here?! :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NutZInTheHead:
But what if the upgrade is done with Kies. Is there the possibility to brick your phone?

I have put LPY on my phone and reverted back to GB. I think I'll just wait for my region release. I doubt it will be that long before it hits my region.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:
is the wipe + brick issue happens only in CWM and doesn't happen in default recovery?

i just checked via OTA and Kies. no updates yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
That could prove to be a long wait, I fear. You guys were given just one region-specific GB version way back in January, IIRC.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] handfish:
I think I would quote this:

"Please stay clear from flashing anything ICS onto your devices until this has been solved."

(from Ken Sumrall, an Android kernel developer - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/hard-brick-bug-on-galaxy-s-ii-and-note-leaked-ics-kernels/)

lp9 ?someone can repost testing lpy vs lp9 ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
Nothing Wrong

Tell me if I am wrong, but EMMC bug is only present if you do a full factory wipe via CWM in recovery mode, therefore if you are on Official Stock LP9 / LPY / LPF WITHOUT "Repacked CF Rooted" firmware, you are safe as you are not subjected to this risk, beause you do not have CWM in your firmware.

Also just to add - DXLP9's modem is LP5.

FYI only.

Doing a factory reset from the Android settings menu is different to doing a wipe from the recovery menu.

I don't think there is any danger doing a factory reset from the Settings menu if you want to sell your phone. My understanding is that it just erases your personal data and apps.

It doesn't actually erase/wipe your system files.

Both factory resets (from Settings and CWMR) are the same thing - they delete your personal apps and data, so they are both dangerous.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
No, I am not agree with this

eMMC bug seems to located in emmc driver(which is present in both stock as well CF root kernel. There is no difference between both kernels. Thats why some reported case is there who became victim on stock recovery too.

Till confirmation of bug free kernel arise, you shud not use wiping device with any sort of tools.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
What about delete commands from the system, and the repopulating commands for that part on the memory chip. Doesn't affect this or does it maybe that's why delete large files was a issue as have been posted before. MY THOUGHT it could create bad sectors after deleting files and so after a while you have the whole media full of them even you haven't wiped. Just a thought though.
