Según XDA esto es lo que brickea el Note:
Operations that are likely to cause damage when running an affected kernel:
Wiping in CWM (and likely any other custom recovery) (confirmed)
Restoring a Nandroid backup in CWM (wipes first)
Flashing another firmware in CWM (most flashes wipe first)
Wiping in stock 3e recovery (suspected, also wipes a partition)
Deleting large files when running an affected kernel (suspected but not confirmed)

No indica nada del "restaurar datos" desde el móvil, aunque lo último es algo mosqueante, a pesar de no estar confirmado.
