Hi all, could anyone offer a solution to a slight problem i have? Basically i got the charging problem after flashing latest stock ics. I read that if i put a diff rom on it would fix the prob bit i lost root. So i get into download mode boot odin up and connect but the pc says something about usb failed cant connect etc etc so i cant root or rom yet when i connect the phone when not in download mode it gets recognised straight away i can transfer files view sd card etc etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

If you want to root the phone and get CWM, you can flash Siyah or any other custom kernel with temporary CWM.
If you only want root you can get it with that app by Chainfire that uses Exynos exploit.

Well firstly, you shouldnt be double posting/bumping your thread, You have an edit button if you need to add anything.
Second, You have no need to ask this question as its already been covered a million times over in all the other topics about this, please use search before creating topics. That is XDA rule number 1.
Third, The answer to your question is no. Once you install custom kernel your fine and not affected by the bug.

Philz kernel is safe. But i personally had some issues with it. I suggest you to flash dorinmax or siyah kernel to wipe and install roms. Its perfectly safe. I have used it myself hundreds of times

Thanks. What kind of problems did you have and could you post a link to the thread to the kernel you suggest?
And is it the same to use stock recovery or odin?

Philz kernel has a broken recovery which doesn't let you flash AOSP ROMs... It gives the status 7 error and aborts installation.
You may flash Siyah kernel from www.gokhanmoral.com. Download the Odin version (.tar file) and flash it.

Yes. To superbrick, 3 criteria must be met (check detailed explanation of each by entropy512 who is a kernel developer and elite recognised developer). One of them is that you must have the dangerous emmc chip. I believe what gotbrickbug does is check if you have that chip or not.
But, being on a safe kernel (custom ones are more reliable than Samsung ones unfortunately in this regard since 4.0.4), the command mmc_cap_erase is disabled which makes sure that the emmc chip doesn't get wiped.
So, being on a safe kernel even if gotbrickbug gives the danger message will keep you safe
If I'm wrong or anything, please correct me I actually don't know much about this.

I meant the app, always looks at the chip wether you are on a safe kernel or not, right?

To me the app says that my kernel is not known but atleast it isnt known as an superbrick bug!

Yes. Philz kernel is safe. I merely mentioned siyah as some roms cant be flashed via philz recovery. In that case, youll need flash siyah first.
But its okay if you want to flash mods/kernels and its safe.

No, the app looks at the chip, not the kernel. If your phone has a defective chip, no matter which kernel you are on (safe or dangerous), it will always show dangerous.

That doesn't mean that you have a safe chip. It just means that the devs don't know if its safe or unsafe... But still, if you're on a safe kernel, no need to worry

Yes. To downgrade, download a gb rom and flash it via Odin. Make sure to perform a factory reset from recovery, otherwise u will be stuck in a boot loop.

You can while you're on a safe kernel.....if not, I'd advice against it.
I stopped reading this thread somewhere half way through the 1st page. Stop spoon feeding answers that take 3 seconds to Google or are just blatantly obvious. Seriously, it's pathetic.

It's right.
First System (CM),
then kernel.
But when you have drain, try to do a factory reset.
If it still drains, try other kernels, like temasek or Yank555.
But they're all not supporting exFat.

Hello,
I read a while back that someone fried his screen by flashing the wrong file and ive got 2 questions.
I was running stock rom and now flashed cyanogenmod 9.0.0 I have an old backup but im not sure if its 9.1 or 9.0 so my question is if I try restoring is there a chance I wil mess up my phone?
Thanks
what is your phone? you are flashing ICS!? now!? nothing goes wrong until the file belongs to your phone. i suggest you to flash the latest jb of your region. good luck.

1) frying touchscreen occurs when flashing note 2 files. Bigger screen needs more power. Too much power for s3 so fries
2) don't use ics. Unsafe on s3 for other reasons.
