Not sure if this is any different to my Galaxy S2 but when flashing a custom rom over the current custom rom do you..
1. Just need to back up
2. Backup + Full Wipe + Clear cache
3. Backup + Full Wipe + Flash Stock rom + custom rom
Thanks to whoever helps out.

If that is all you want to do, just go to Phil3759's post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849737 (Many thanks to him) Tested and definitely works on Galaxy Note.
If you want more options (Including safe Nandroid backup and restore), then read on:-
I have signed some files that make it possible for them to be flashed from STOCK ICS 3e recovery. (ie. boot into Stock recovery and select "apply update from external storage" and flash)
Download signed Abyss kernel and put it on your externel SD card. (It doesn't root your phone and has been proven safe over a long period of time)
Abyss Note RedPill Touch http://d-h.st/TZW
Now download latest LRQ ICS stock kernel http://d-h.st/EZH and also put it on external SD card.
OK lets start:
- If you are on non-rooted stock ICS and just want factory reset, flash Abyss from external storage and straight after that, do 3 finger salute (volume up + menu + power) to boot back into Abyss (remember it's GB so no point letting ICS boot up), and do wipes. (Why not do Nandoid backup while you are there? Just remember to flash LRQ kernel after restore)
Then flash LRQ kernel file and reboot. You are now on ICS with latest Stock kernel:good:
- If you want root with safe kernel go here http://forum.xda-developers.com /showthread.php?t=1789397 and download Universal or Touchwiz kernel of your choice and put on external SD. Flash Abyss, boot back into it and then flash custom kernel. You are now rooted with safe kernel
- If you want to try custom ROM (Any), do the following:- Flash Abyss, reboot into it and do factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Now go to "mounts and storage", format/system, mount partitions that are not mounted and then flash ROM
Happy days and good flashing:laugh:

Hi, it is wonderful!, has it been tested to work in stock gingerbread?

I don't think Stock GB recovery allows for flashing of signed files. In any case GB is safe for wiping. If u want root, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

Sure have. About 7 or 8 times now. No problems at all
In fact I have just gone from stock LRQ to JellyCore and back to stock LRQ again.
ie; flash and boot into Abyss, do Nandroid backup, do wipes/system format, Flash JellyCore, play with it a bit, boot into recovery, wipe and format again with Abyss, do Nandroid restore, reflash LRQ kernel and reboot. Back on stock LRQ again. (even Samsung wouldn't know what I did)
Okay just rooted my phone yesterday, I have try all the ROMs from Jellyblast v3 to any ROM I can find on the developer page but my phone failed to install any of the ROM! So the thing is I love the Hyperion ROM but I cant install it on my newly rooted SGY, So do I need to root my phone again / Download Hyperion ROM again (Already tried three time) / Format my SD Card ? / Unroot then root again my phone? Hopefully someone can help me figure this thing

Flash your phone to base DXLF1 and try installing Hyperion from there. if you still have trouble installing the ROM, try flashing DXLF1 then install EVO-X2.1 then Hyperion (that's what I did)
also you don't need a pre-rooted phone. installation of Hyperion automatically roots your phone. and if you did a fresh flash and haven't booted up your phone (after Odin flashing, immediately booted to Recovery then CWM Recovery) then you don't have to do a data reset or cache wipe, your phone after flashing stock rom is already as good as wiped and reset.
and you can flash Hyperion from either CWM or Stock Recovery. but the flashing of EVO-X2.1 requires CWM. I forgot if EVO needs root, but you can check that out on the developers page (too lazy to add link )
first flash stock dxlf
then if youre succesfull go to stock rom home screen
reboot recovery clear data factory reset and cache on stock recovery
then apply root update.zip (file you need to root ur phone)
next open cwm clear data and cache again
after that install hyperion then donot reboot and donot apply any update (must be later after succes install)
clear data and cache again in cwm
then reboot recovery clear data and cache again
then reboot wait for a while
thats my step and now im using hyperion smoothly

go dig in that thread, you should find it eventually. also you need to know how to use Odin flasher, but that's already included in the guide.

you may immediately flash to DXLF1. just go to download mode without doing anything. Like I said, flashing stock roms is as good as getting your phone right from the factory.
after flashing to DXLF1 you may retry flashing Hyperion. if that doesn't work, then refer to my previous post on what I did.

you should wipe data wipe cache wipe dalvik cache as it can cause bootloop then try to install it again and for flashing rom you do not need root access .

It is not important....you can flash a new rom directly,just wipe data,cache and factory settings....before flashing a new rom..
But some roms required be on stock rom.So I think flashing stock before flash any custom rom is good...for your phone..:thumbup:
:thumbup: DON'T FORGET TO GIVE THANKS IF I HAVE A BIT SUCCESS TO HELPING YOU :thumbup:
Depends on the rom actuallly
Suppose the Rom is Something like the monochromatic windows rom >> then u need to switch back to stock
and other roms which contain only the theming files for the stock bases u can just flash them
but for better installation of the roms make sure u go to the CWM >mounts and storage>format /system/
and then follow the usual procedure of installing the rom
what this does is that it deletes the previous "System" directory so when u install a custom rom .
then the custom rom's system directory will be copied to the device making it like a clean installation
and as techno said dont forget to wipe data/factory reset and the cache partition

it is better to go to stock rom before flashing a new rom
depends upon the rom
in most cases you can flash it directly but it is always better to get stock rom

Generally for installing custom rom this steps should help
Wipe data and cache
Mount system data cache
Flash zip
Reboot
For firmware use where you live from

ok here is what you have to do:
1.go to recovery wipe data wipe cache
2.go to cwm re wipe data and cache again
3.go to mount and storage format system&data&cache then mount every thing
4.go to advance wipe dalvik cache and fix permission
5.flash the rom
if that didn't do it try flashing stock vie one more time and repeat my steps
Which kernal are you stock or custom
If Stock
A problem was being in update binary dealete rom from sdcard downloads again pls do no extract it boot into recovery mode wipe data wiprle cache mount everything wipe dalik cache then flash the rom
If custom
You Don't need downloads again the rom
Boot into recovery mode wipe data wipe cache partion mount everything flash the rom
try to odin it again with old firmware. maybe this will fix your problem.

all roms here work fine
make sure you format system data cache then mount system data cache in cwm before flashing the rom zip
you also need to be on the correct file system and kernel depending on rom - eg stock based kernels for stock based rom and ext file system and a cm kerenl for cm based roms
