I do it at least once or twice a day when testing new Roms. It's perfectly safe on a safe kernel/CWMR.
Hi guys. I need some advice here. My situation as follow:
- Stock rom & kernel & still havent root - 2.3.6 GB. Newer GB rom thats which not direct rootable thru Zergrush exploit.
I want to flash this rom - [ODIN]AllianceROM N7000 ICS v2.1 | S3 lockscreen | Resurrection Edition
From my understanding is the step below correct? (sorry for being noob)
Flash pre-rooted GB > Flash Hydracore > Flash stock ICS 4.0.4 > Flash AllianceROM? Is this correct?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. I cant seem to find someone with exact question as mine so I just had to ask for help. Thanks

Drop steps 1 & 3. Flash Hydracore (.tar) through Odin, reboot recovery, perform wipe data/factory reset, flash your rom of choice.
terislg, here --- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1789397 ----- look for the kernels, all, which stated as safe, are safe.
So I flash the kernel hydracore & successful, is it normal for it unable boot back to the stock firmware? I also have wipe the data.
But as I try to flash the AllianceRom in odin it say its FAILED...

Are you sure about what you're doing? Do you have this AllianceRom in .tar version? Or is it .zip? If it's zip file, put it on external sdcard (use cardreader), boot to CWM recovery, choose "Install zip from sdcard", go ahead.

/!\ Noob inside
i've read many thread, but i'm not sure on that point (i don't speak english very well) : can i flash any kernel (from the list of this topic) on my device ?
No matter which version i'm curently running or wich modem version etc?... If it does, could you help by telling me wich one is good?

gicyMe stipula
ok thx
Just to be sure, if i flash a ROM with another version than LRT (let's say LRK for the example) , i'll have to flash a LRK kernel too?
And ofr a LRT flash a LRT kernel? that's it ?
If not, i understood nothing... and i'll stay with my full stock version ><
Edit : one last thing, I can't post on this thread to ask my question but... is this rom can be use with kernel you was talking about and a LRK baseband?

118"Hi. I'm on SpeedMod K3-13 and want to flash CM10. Do I flash AbyssNote 4.2, reboot recovery, wipe and then flash...?"
"How do I flash this? I'm on stock ICS with CF-Root...?"
"I am on ICS Stunner 4.25 and want to flash ParanoidAndroid. What do I have to do...?"
These sort of questions crop up tens of times daily in various GNote threads. This little guide is meant to give you an answer to those and similar questions, so you'll know what to do. It'll also hep you to not get ridiculed by all sorts of cranky characters (myself included) in the fora.
Safe Kernels to Wipe and Flash From
You can go directly into CWMR, do a full wipe and flash new TW- or CM-based Roms (it doesn't matter which ones) according to their instructions. No need to go back to GB, no need to flash some new kernel, no need to reboot recovery. Just boot into CWMR, wipe and flash like you would in the good old GB days - there's nothing to fear.
TW ICS Kernels
1. All NoteCore kernel versions
2. All PhilZ-cwm6 kernels
3. All Franco kernels starting from v4 and newer kernels
4. All SpeedMod kernels starting from v4 and newer
CM9/CM10 Kernels
These are all absolutely safe to wipe and flash from directly. You can flash new TW or CM Roms, it doesn't matter which one. Following Roms are running CM9/CM10 kernels ATM: official CM9/CM10 (obvioulsy), ParanoidAndroid, Asylum ICS and JB, LiquidSmooth, all AOKP Roms, Ganbarou.
HydraCore Universal Kernel
Universal kernel for all TW- and CM-based JB and ICS Rom(developed by g.lewarne of NoteCore fame). It has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled both in the kernel and CWMR. You can flash any type of Rom directly from its CWMR (full wipe and flash).
GB Kernels
All perfectly safe to wipe/flash from directly. Side note: don't listen to guys who tell you that you need to flash an ICS Rom or kernel before going for JB. They are wrong: you can flash JB Roms directly from GB.
Borderline Case: Safe - Sort of?
CF--Root ICS Kernels - All of Them
These kernels are safe to wipe from, but not totally safe to flash from. This is what Entropy and Jgaviota say about them:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29263870&postcount=490
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29268600&postcount=492
Having this in mind, my advice would be for you to flash one of the safe kernels over CF--Root, reboot recovery, wipe everything and flash away. Although CF--Root has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled in its recovery, apparently Roms you want to flash from it can brick your phone with bad update-binary.
Unsafe Kernels - Red Alert!
These are just biding their time and waiting for a chance to brick your Note.
1. All leaked ICS kernels - ZCLP1, ZCLP5, ZCLP6, Angelom's Stock ICS kernel and Neobuddy's modified ZCLP kernel (in old Stunner Roms)
2. All stock ICS kernels running in Roms rooted by the infamous CWM.zip method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
If your Rom happens to have any of the above, don't panic. Head over to the kernel thread, download any of the safe kernels for Mobile/PC Odin (they are tar files, not zips). Put the safe kernel tar on your PC, fire up PC Odin, hit PDA and select your kernel tar. Put the phone into download mode, connect it to your PC and flash the new kernel via PC Odin. After the flash is done, go into the CWMR, do the wipes and flash any new Rom you fancy.18Where do I find the kernels?
Q. Where do I find and download all these kernels you're talking about here?
In Kernel Repository thread. Click here to get them.2
As posted above, I would not advise flashing any new Roms from CF--Root kernel, be it from CWMR or via Mobile Odin.
Drop into CF--Root CWMR, flash a safe kernel (see the OP), reboot recovery and be on your merry way.2
I said v4 and above, which means v4, v5, v6 etc all the way to v13. All of them are safe.
