How To Safely Flash A ROM On The Samsung Galaxy Note

A lot of people are worried about flashing ROMs on the Galaxy Note because they don’t want to be a victim of the eMMC brick bug, I’ve had my Note for about 6 months now and by using this simple method I’ve never had a problem flashing ROMs.

1.) Backup everything off your Note you want to keep because it will be wiped.

2.) Download a safe kernel that doesn’t have the eMMC brick bug, I personally use Abyss Note as it has a touch interface. Here are a few to choose from:

3.) Reboot into recovery, hold down Volume Up, Home, and the Power button together until your phone reboots into the ClockworkMod Recovery.

4.) Flash the safe kernel, choose “install zip from sdcard”  then choose “zip from sdcard” or “zip from internal sdcard” depending on where you saved the safe kernel, find the kernel and confirmyou want to flash it.

5.) Reboot the recovery, because we flashed a new kernel we need to reboot the recovery, from the recovery main menu choose “advanced” then choose “reboot recovery”.

6.) Wipe data and cache, to flash the new ROM we need to wipe the old one off first, from the main menu choose “wipe data/factory reset” and confirm, then choose “wipe cache partition” andconfirm, then choose “advanced” then pick “wipe dalvik cache” and confirm.

7.) Flash the new ROM, flash the new ROM the same way you flashed the kernel before. Choose “install zip from sdcard”  then choose “zip from sdcard” or “zip from internal sdcard” depending on where you saved the ROM, find the ROM and confirm you want to flash it.

8.) Enjoy your Galaxy Note and new ROM, as long as the ROM you are using has a safe kernel you will be safe from the “brick bug”, if your unsure follow this guide again to ensure your Galaxy Note doesn’t end up a worthless brick.
