I went back to GB a long time ago after trying all kind of ICS roms, so I haven't been following....

Does Speedmod solve the "Hard Brick" issue?

Any reports regarding this matter so far?

Just feeling like giving ICS another go ....

.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Speedmod and Franco both disable MMC_CAP_ERASE in their kernels - which prevents the eMMC firmware bug from getting triggered. Same reason I9100 Update4 is safe.

We finally got info from Mr. Sumrall at Google of why Gingerbread kernels are safe despite it. There are three things needed to get nailed:

1) A recovery that tries to use mmc_erase() in the kernel - All ICS recoveries do, very few GB recoveries do.

2) A kernel that actually allows mmc_erase() to do something - removing MMC_CAP_ERASE from mshci.c prevents the problem here, regardless of recovery (this is why Speedmod, Franco R3 and later, and anything based on I9100 Update4 is safe)

3) Defective eMMC firmware - basically a given for all Samsung Exynos devices.

One thing: Before doing anything in recovery, CONFIRM using CPUSpy that you are actually on a safe kernel. 1-2 people thought they had flashed "safe" kernels with MO, only to turn out to be on whatever kernel they were running before for some reason - one person (eRode) killed his device this way.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] pb1379:
Where did you get the info of an imminent update from? Not that I would mind, esp. if it includes tw5...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Latoc:
So if the only thing preventing GB from toasting the device is a safe recovery, then in theory we could crash the emmc by deleting large files while fully booted into GB, like it is suspected in ICS ???

Never heard of such related crashes in GB. Strange...

This issue is getting more complicated by the day for me.

I think my next phone will be a Nexus. At least the Google devs pay attention to software. This is just ridiculous.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] 3ftguru:
Just a question.

I have LPF stock rom flashed using PIT and all stock files and currently using CF-root 5.5 kernel from a XJ1 firmware upgrade using CWM manager.

If i want to use this kernel, can i use CWM manager to flash the CWM version?

If not, is the best way to use it with this kernel? reflash using PIT file again before rooting and 3-wipe before mobile Odin the kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] praetorius:
do you even read previous posts?

1. use pc odin (increase binary counter)

2. use mobile odin

3. use CWM (avoid doing this unless you are already in one of the "safe" kernels")
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Joe momma:
Can you make a video of how to flash it? I can't figure out where that "patch" files goes and the tar file just gives me errors and you didn't leave ANY directions on how to install. This is very confusing, please help us understand better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] 3ftguru:
I have read through all 31 pages but I am not sure so I am asking. Pardon me if I sounded like a NOOB or seemed like didnt read through.

I asked about CWM because there is no mention of anyone using CF-root. I am not sure if CF-root is safe so that is why I asked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] praetorius:
If you took a peek at the available file for download, you would have noticed the tar (for mobile/pc odin) and the zip (for CWM). It is safe to use CWM, just NEVER do a factory wipe. I have been wiping cache, dalvik, battery stats and installed few customisations like 15 toggle bars via CWM and survived.

There is no guarantee however that it will he 100% safe, so the decision to take the risk is yours alone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Galaxea:
If this is the same issue that some are having with Franco's, then you need to do a format /system from recovery before flashing.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] batterytwo:
Do you mean "full wipe" ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Deleting full files is probably fine (we know more now) but I refuse to guarantee it. There could be other changes between 2.6.35 and 3.0.15 that affect TRIM and such.

Thanks for the replys / info and sorry for the off-topic (and laziness) , but :

Does the GNexus got this hardbrick bug? And if it doesn't, how come?

Grtz

.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] pakalrtb:
Only devices that are using an emmc chip with .19 firmware are affected by the bug. The Gnexus is NOT one of them, AFAIK.

Flashing an emmc is not as easy as flashing the device ROM, it will most probably need to be done via jtag or the alike.

Tegrak oveclock ultimate 1.8.2 is working in this kernel. My Tegrak configuration

CPU Level 3 Frequency: 800 Mhz Core Voltage: 925 mV

CPU Level 4 Frequency: 500 Mhz Core Voltage: 875 mV

GPU Level 0 Frequency: 200 Mhz Core Voltage: 800 mV

GPU Level 1 Frequency: 130 Mhz Core Voltage: 750 mV

Since Android apps is very well coded, I hardly find any apps which use more than 800 Mhz (Mass Effect Infiltrator is running well in 800 Mhz) hence I underclock my CPU to just 800 Mhz.

No, released GNexus devices do not. Prototypes had it, Google found it told Samsung to fix it, Samsung fixed it in the GNex (updated eMMC firmware), but is still shipping defective eMMC chips on many of their own devices even today.

Much of what we know about the issue comes from a Google engineer that encountered it during GNex prototype development.

And still shipping defective devices and no decent ICS for the Note?

I've been switching back and forth between Franco and Speedmod :D:D:D. I am now sticking with Speedmod , I think it gives a smoother and more stable experience.

The phone appears to be rooted though.

With this kernel on kingdroid v2 there is absolutely no lag in the tw launcher from s3. However today I had the phone freeze on lockscreen several times. But as soon as I turned off the screen and turned it back on it was responsive again.

For anyone still struggling to get proper root back after flashing from Franco to speedmod, the following worked for me:

Do we've option in this kernel to let the cpu run at lower speeds like 100 or 50 mhz? Coz 200mhz min speed won't be necessary for background jobs I hope..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
50mhz way too low, 100 mhz i think also, would be cool if hardcore would add more cpu mhz stages, like 200,400,500,700,800 and etc :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] chickentuna:
coming from franco 5, i flashed to speedmod bec. of the wifi issue. I wasn't able to do it directly at mobile odin i needed to use PC ODIN, reason is bec. nothing changes when the phone restarts after flashing in mobile odin, kernel is still franco #5(tried going back to CF-Root with CWM and tried flashing speedmod as well, didn't work).

So what i did is to use PC Odin, but i flashed DAFUQ kernel first and used triangle away to remove triangle when booting(but if you don't care about that you can just skip and just flash speedmod via PC ODIN), then used Mobile odin to flash speedmod kernel.

Just an info to those having the same problem, hope this helps!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] priyanv:
When I was in GB I used abyssnote were it starts from 50mhz. When phone goes idle cpuspy shows 50mhz as most of the background syncing speed..so may be system just needs 50mhz of speed for sync. Thought that would be possible here also.. coz there are only few known safe kernels and this is one among.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
hmm i never used syncing, so yeh with sync-on 200mhz too much, but as i saw hardcore never used like these cpu stages, had his kernel on s2 ;D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] tw15tr:
Should i run juice defender app along with this kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
juice defender is crap, you can do everything manually, except cpu management, but better use setcpu or system tuner instead of juice...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] priyanv:
That's right.. With manual settings I can make the phone use battery as low as 0.9 - 1% /hr. (with data off)

I am using this kernel since V1 and this kernel is great. No hang, no reboots, ultra smooth. I would like to request for three thing:

1. init.d support

2. bootanimation support

3. WiFi sucks the battery out of the device. If by any means consumption can be lowered

For those on stock ICS and dont wanna increase the count, or triangles. Download this to external card CWM: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1056408&d=1336826886

is it safe to do a NANDROID backup/restore with speedmod without superbricking/hardbricking my note? I just got the note and installed the kernel yesterday and I haven't done a NANDROID backup/restore ever since
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] nipuna:
I don't see why a back up would be an issue -- safer still if you use the external card. Restore, does call the erase commands, and hence potentially risky.

I know Hardcore has removed that call -- so theoretically this shouldn't happen.. but still i'd be hesitant until more evidence is available.

Frequencies below 200 MHz are pointless thanks to cpuidle.

Read section 6 of the paper that Ezekeel linked to from IBM - it's a bit dated but the general theory still applies. If you have a good cpuidle implementation, there's no point downlclocking if you're unable to undervolt significantly.

For anyone interested in know.

I am running KingDroid, was on Franco kernel and everything was running slow. Periodically I would lose "deep sleep". For instance this morning I woke up (phones been charging overnight) phone was kind of warm. So I looked at CPU Spy and for half the night my phone was at 1400Mhz. For no reason. No apps running either.

I flashed SpeedMod kernel using CMW, rebooted CMW then rebooted phone. Everything has been working great. Phone seems faster, more responsive and best of all, phone is able to deep sleep again.

Thanks for all your hard work OP. I think ill be sticking with this kernel for a while.
