Hi all,
I read a while back that some of the leaked samsung roms were causing hard bricks after people flashed to something else after.
I've been running an older AOKP build from a while back and haven't flashed anything in a while, but I remember I did flash a few ICS TW roms, in particular ShoStock and PhoneBricker. Does anyone know if either of those ever used the base that was hard bricking people's phones.
Or for that matter, does anyone know in particular which leaks were causing the problem?
Thanks all,
Kevin
Yeah, supposedly the new UCLE5 kernel is doing the same thing when you factory reset while its installed. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757972
If I just decide to odin back to stock to be on the safe side, it should be no problem going back to a gingerbread tar from my current aokp ics right? Just checking.
Much appreciated!

The problem is the kernel, as long as you have the UCLE5 kernel (or any other variant) your risking a superbrick. Just flash a new kernel then move to whatever ROM you want or stay on the one you have as long as the kernel is compatible. I had the UCLE5 kernel installed and just flashed Siyah (first) and moved to the resurrection remix ROM.

No roms in this forum have the hard brick issue so it isn't necessary, only certain builds (such as ucle5) stock kernels trigger this, take out the kernel and it is fine.

Both Shostock and Phone Bricker are fine. Everything else is good too. All the ROMs that are based on it have already changed the kernel. Why not just update AOKP? If you have been using it for that long and like it.

So just for clarifications sake. As long as I'm on a kernel now that is unaffected, I am safe from the emmc bug?
Thanks again, you've all be super helpful :laugh:

Don't flash this as you already have one from ur ICS ROM! I just did not see any Stock Kernel that is the reason why i made a thread!
Haven't seen a stock ICS 4.0.3 kernel in development section so i m just dropping stock kernel in case some one needs it.
It meant we'll have mod kernel soon? Better battery faster ... everything.
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note™ - please forgive any typos
ummm... what?! Is this i717 specific, or just the AOSP 4.0.3 kernel? How did we get this for the i717 without source? Where is it from? So many questions!!!11 lol
If this is for real, someone please throw a bucket of ice water (and/or trout) on Da_G...
I have tried to use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20806471&postcount=1 to inject init.d support into the stock kernel but cannot tell if it worked. It worked on the stock ICS kernel for the Asus Transformer according to this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23005237&postcount=104
Anyone else more familiar with init.d care to try it? It did give me an init.d folder, and the command prompt on PC seemed like it was successful but I can't tell from the file it placed in init.d after first boot if it was successful or not. I tried putting a supercharger script in the init.d folder but it doesn't seem to be working.
edit: Also at the risk of sounding dumb I don't know what set permission as 755 is. I tried to set the permissions of the folder to match the other folders in the directory.
I don't understand why are guys so happy about this ?
This kernel (boot.img) is already in ICS ROMs,
you can just unzip one of those ROMs or the leak and there you have it !
They need kernel SOURCE to do overclock etc.

I was assuming this was source... which, as my previous post indicates, wouldn't make sense.
Otherwise, you're right, this isn't anything special. Nice to have separately? Sure, I guess...
so what is a kernal is this a ics leak, im a nubie and pretty stupid.
thanks
Guys, this is STOCK ICS 4.0.3 Kernel. In other words, the kernel that was provided with the leak. It's unmodified.

yes we know this.......which is not that useful for the dev....as they need the source code for the kernel.....without the source code....we can't OC/undervolt and do all the lovely things that we need...
I've been wanting a stock ICS version as there have been a few bugs that I can't get away from with the two mods I've tried... Maybe it's ICS, maybe it's me, but now I can see how the original runs. Thanks!

You do know this is just the kernel right? If you flash only this after a full wipe, you're not going to have a booting Android phone.
You sure? I would think it would be more like flashing it to what is already in it, unless, this is not for the i717.

I think he means if you flash it after a "full" wipe, meaning clearing the system. If you just do a data and cache wipe it should be fine, if of course you are running an ICS ROM.

...which already has the same kernel, so there would be no point.
If this isn't source, then I don't understand what this is for. Every i717 ICS leak currently available has this kernel already included. Having it on your SD card just in case isn't really going to do anyone any good, since everyone running any of the currently available ICS ROMs is already running this very kernel. If this is acceptable, then I won't be surprised to see others parting out the leak and posting pieces of it in the dev section, when it really belongs in General since it isn't source. Please don't flame me, just trying to make a point.

It's pretty useful for noobs who flashed DaG's kernel mistaking it for an ICS kernel.
OP is pretty misleading. There is no reason to flash this at the moment.

Actually, I dont understand what the big deal is...
There are stock roms in the development thread aren't there?
Stock Odin recovery image:

Stock boot & recovery:

Strange that no one *****ed about these being in Android Development... I dont see what the difference is.
All this is is the stock kernel from the ICS leak taken out and made available for flashing in case you want to flash the stock kernel FROM THE ICS LEAK (so, if you are still on stock GB, this wont be helpful, this is ONLY useful if you are running the stock, unmodified ICS leak and have changed the kernel and want to revert back to the stock ICS kernel from the leaked ICS rom).
The OP is pretty self explanatory, in fact, the title of the thread is pretty self explanatory. I mean, ICS 4.0.3 STOCK KERNEL sounds pretty clear to me.
My only beef is not with the thread or its location but the lack of organization on XDA. There should literally be a category for ROMS, another for mods & themes & apps, and another for stock images. Q&A should be removed and combined with General. Given the limitation of the current choices, this doesnt fit under General, Q&A, Themes and Apps, or Accessories. The next best fit is Android Development. This is of course all my opinion.

Stock kernels belong in General.

I really didn't want to jump back into this, and it seriously doesn't bother me at all that this was posted... that said, there are NO modified ICS kernels on our Notes right now (we're all on the same kernel at the moment), so this won't become useful until someone modifies one (as appdroid apparently intends to do to add init.d) -- and even then, it will need to be replaced once the official ICS build/source gets released.
Either way, like I said, this thread doesn't bother me at all... appdroid's dev efforts on the Note are much appreciated!
I have an ATT I777 on the UCKK6 base. Id like to root it. Its obviously still running GB and that base I listed. I know they sometime lock stuff down further with different update. So the question is, would there be any issue with updating the phone to ICS through KIES and then rooting? Or should I root it before? If I root it before will I lose root if I try to update it then, I would think so at a minimum.
does anyone know the most current base, or what it would be that I came out with after the KIES update?

No. This phone is definitely *not* unbrickable if, by unbrickable you mean not capable of being bricked. If you mean can it be brought back from a brick, then it depends on the type of brick we're talking. If you're talking the hard brick caused by the eMMC bug, then no. You won't be bringing it back from the dead.
If you have not already, I would advise reading the post at the following link, then reading the thread related to the mentioned app:

No need really, I'm so used to running ASOP like ROMS on my other phones I probably wouldn't like it anyway. I was mostly just curious as it seems that with the base I'm currently on rooting is a little more involved. I was also wondering if Sammy had maybe patched something in the new build.

Here is what I would do if I were you. When I rooted mine I was on KH7 so I used DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit then installed Mobile Odin to flash Entropy512's DD 3-7 GB kernel to get CWM then flashed a custom ICS ROM. I went back to look over creepys guide "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter" I have read it 100 times I just want to make I got you the best info I could.... Give a BIG shout out to creepyncrawly for putting that guide out!!! Make sure you read that guide lots of great info... I did see a KK6 stock rooted package on here 1a. just read up see what is best then just follow the steps..... If you have any more questions just post them in this thread.
1. If you flash the 2c. "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" link

1a. Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
2. Then install Mobile Odin link (You will need this to flash Entropy512 GB kernel just extract the zImage from the zip file and load it in the kernel slot in Mobile Odin)

Hello,
I've been frequently checking the web for the official JB update and everything i've always have read is that it will be released soon, not OTA yet so I'm going a bit desperated about having JB on my s2. I'm actually on 4.0.4 official (yeah, the brick evil kernel) and I'm pretty happy with it but I'm very curious about all those 4.1.2 custom ROM's roaming around the net.
What's your advice for this ROM's? Are they worthy to install them at this point in my device? Are they fully working with all the JB functions? Or at this point should I wait for the official ROM and give chance the community to work in ROM's based on it?
Greetings, any advice/hint will be much apprecciated.

Well regardless of what above poster says, no they are not fully working. However the bugs that are present are not serious and most people will not come across them.
However I would HIGHLY recommend that if you flash the leaked stock rom or a custom one based on it you will need to flash Joboo kernel as it fixes the most annoying bug which is the lock screen delay which is really bloody annoying. It also increases battery life as Philz kernel is bad for this. You can also freeze non-needed stock apps to increase life more.
By the way incase you didnt know, since you have 4.0.4 stock you dont need to worry about the brick bug if you simply flash a custom kernel like Siyah instead of keeping stock.
Okay, they are not fully working I guess. I can always be wrong.
Still, reading time.

Yeah, actually I did know that I could flash Siyah to avoid the brick risk but I just wanted to do it all at the same time, I mean, root -> flash Siyah ->jump to another custom ROM. That's why my question about waiting for stock 4.1.2 for more stable ROM's before flashing and rooting :victory:

You dont need to "root" and then flash Siyah, Siyah gives you root.
If coming from stock rom/kernel all you need to do is....
Flashing custom rom:
Flash Siyah kernel via ODIN
Reboot into custom recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Flash rom zip (and gapps if using CM based rom)
Reboot device.
Note that flashing a custom rom will come with its own kernel so it replaces Siyah.
Flashing Stock Rom:
Flash stock rom via ODIN
Flash compatible custom kernel
Note: If you using leaked JB you should use nothing but the Joboo kernel. If flashing GB or ICS rom you should use Siyah.
I went to samMobile firmware site and going to download, 4.0.3 ics or the GB firmware. I currently have ics 4.0.4 and my phone keeps going into SOD and i have to remove battery to turn back on, so can I flash with oldin one of the other version of firmware to downgrade to 4.0.3 ics without hurting my phone. as a noob and i have been trying to read posts. 4.0.3 befoore the upgate was running good.
You can flash the 4.0.3 UCLE5 from SamFirmware using odin. The file contains everything, including bootloaders I'm pretty sure, and is straight stock, not rooted. You will most likely need to perform a wipe data/factory reset, and there could be some risk involved due to the possible eMMC superbrick bug in the UCLE5 kernel.
Another possible route would be to flash UCLE5 plus root from the development section of this forum. It is a bit safer since the bootloader is removed. After that you should also install a custom kernel to get away from the stock kernel.
Thank You will have alook at JB roms. Hopefully this will fix the SOD issue Att and samsung are pissing meoof, on my 3rd phone with same isssue.

My understanding is that the sleep of death problem is a firmware issue in the 4.0.4 distribution. If that is the case, replacing hardware will not solve the problem. Or maybe your replacements have been for another reason? Anyway, I have never had stock 4.0.4 or stock 4.0.3 on my phone, but I am running a JB rom (SHOstock) and have never had the SOD issue.

Is there any OC kernel for stock JB?
I have looked everywhere, but they are all either old ICS/GB or 4.2.2 kernels.
Can I use any 4.2.2 kernels with the stock JB?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Literally the 10th thread after stickies in the development section
Sent from my SGH-I717D using xda app-developers app
No you can NOT use a 4.2.2 kernel for any other version. You will soft brick your phone.
The phase kernel is for 4.1.2 but it has issues and I don't recommend using it.
So basically there isn't a kernel for stock JB.
I should have clarified my question.
I am on Telus stock JB, and it is a different base then AT&T stock JB. I tried Phase kernel and it didn't work.
I guess my only option is to move to another ROM to use OC kernel.
Thank you.

The phase kernel is for 4.1.2 but it has issues and I don't recommend using it.
So basically there isn't a kernel for stock JB.

Not to hijack, but if I could ask... I was literally moments away from flashing Padawan V2 when I saw this, which has the phase kernel. Is it really so unstable that less experienced folks should steer clear for now? No big deal for me as I have a perfectly fine rom installed, but was really interested in trying to OC and Padawan fit the bill.
Cheers.
(I bolded "For Now" as I do not wish to even hint that I am saying anything negative about what is clearly a very fine rom. I am simply asking if it just needs a little more time to attain perfection)

The rom that has phase kernel included is fine. The developer updated the rom/kernel combo but didn't update the stand alone kernel. So enjoy!
I would probably try out Padawan with the Phase kernel. Although there are reports of some issues, from what I can tell, they are the minority and most people are enjoying the ROM/Kernel.
I am just too lazy to backup/flash/restore to go to Padawan. And I am perfectly fine with the Telus JB as it is now.
Thanks guys. Padawan looks like a blast and I can't wait to load er up.
