It's says Unknown Chip So I want to know if It's prone to the Brick bug.
Here are the Details of my Phone. Not Rooted, Just out of the Box.

Yes... All 4.0.4 stock kernels has brick bug....
So u need to take out the main culprit.... The kernel...

To root it without risking to brick the phone, use a prerooted kernel like Siyah, PhilZ-CWM6 etc.

I found another app that Checks for the eMMC bug. It says my Phone is OK. Any idea?

Dunno why it says unknown chip. If I'm not wrong, xxlq6 has the brickbug.
Easiest way to go about rooting your device IMO, would be to install a custom kernel like siyah via Odin. That'll give you root and you won be susceptible to the emmc bug.
Another option is to search the forum for rachmat3's mehod. Simple and safe and will give you temporary CWM recovery if you don't wanna use Odin.
Or you can use the method from this link.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
Haven't used it myself so can't vouch for its simplicity. But if you want root without using a custom kernel, this is the way to go.

The Link is Broken.

Yeah I just saw that and edited it. Turns out its the same link you mentioned. It works. What kernel code are you talking about? AFAIK, the only method that requires you to keep track of your kernel is using cf-unsecure kernel rioting method which you shouldn't be doing anyways.
Still, since you wanna know, if I'm not mistaken, the kernel code you're talking about is the build. LPH..if I'm not mistaken. I could very well be wrong though.
