Ics 4.0.3 xxlpy

[humphster]

Without looking I upgraded my Note N7000 from Gingerbread to ICS XXPLY which is a version with the dreaded brick bug. Not only did I install it OTA but I was having problems and actually did a hard reset yesterday. The phone is running fine but I have read that it's best to return to Gingerbread until the problem is resolved. Does that seem to be the consensus?

I'd appreciate your opinion.

it all depends on how you feel about ICS, the brickbug itself should not happen under normal usage, only when you try to fectory reset / wipe operations,
so without doing those the only time you should be careful is when attempting to flash new ROMs (which may require you going with additional intermediate GB / safe kernel flashing - the safety instructions are always in the ROM thread),
the only thing I'd suggest - should you decide to stick with stock ICS - is upgrading to a newer version, like recent LRG (reportedly LPY was the worst ICS ROM in terms of battery life and performance)

Not only lpy, all ics stock roms having this bug. If you are worrying abt wiping you made, just find 'emmc brick bug' from market n scan device, if it nit damaged, then it shud pass.
If you are happy with ics then you can stay on it, but avoid wiping/reset.

I downloaded the app and ran it. The "Verdict" was the the emmc chip (VYLOOM) is known to have the brick chip.

As I understand it, however, you are advising to go back to gingerbread or leave it alone.

I like ICS but not more than having my phone.

Thanks for your reply.

i say keep ICS and just download a safe kernel if ur into flashing custom roms.

You can stick with the stock kernel if you want just refrain from doing a factory reset

I think I'll just hang on to what I've got and wait for the cavalry from Samsung.

Thanks to everybody.
