Hi all, getting ready to experiment on my Galaxy Note I7000. Don't want to make a mistake. Trying to make sure i am doing the right steps. I want to install Kingdroid rom. My Note is rooted as it has the superuser app. It is still on stock android 2.3.6 and kernal is 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566root
can i just download the zip files and install or do i need to do full wipe first?
since you are on GB its completely safe to do the three wipes in recovery ( also recommended for clean stable hasslefree boot.)
If you are planning to install Kingdroid v 7 or later you must read the opening post and the last few pages and decide from before what you will be choosing in the Aroma (especially the themes and kernel, mods etc), prateek has made a guide somewhere in the thread, or the phone wont boot, so flash away.....
all the best !

Hello community

I recommend backing up your data before making any changes then follow the Nexus 4 Root Guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 to install your preferred recovery utility, either Clockworkmod or TWRP.
If you plan to install a custom ROM and kernel anyway, there really isn't much point in gaining root on the stock 4.3 ROM. If you must gain root on the stock 4.3 ROM, you will need to download Chainfire's experimental SuperSU v1.41 (available at http://download.chainfire.eu/340/SuperSU/SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip) and transfer the file to the root folder of the Nexus internal storage. Start your phone's bootloader by powering down the Nexus and simultaneously holding the volume down and power buttons approximately 5 seconds until the bootloader screen appears. Next use the volume up/volume down buttons to highlight Recovery and press the power button to start the custom recovery. In recovery press Install, then highlight the file SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip and move the button slider to the right to install root. Reboot the phone and update SuperSU from the Play Store.
There is a wide selection of custom ROMs and kernels available in Nexus 4 Android Development and Nexus 4 Original Android Development. Every custom ROM already includes a kernel, so you only need to download and flash a kernel if you need specific features inlcuded in the custom kernel. I recommend taking some time to review the ROMs listed in these two forums, look at the screen shots, and read some of the user comments regarding the ROMs that look appealing to you. Once you identify the ROM(s) you would like to try, download the ROM(s) and tranfer the zip file to the root folder of the Nexus internal storage.
Before flashing any ROM make sure your battery is charged at least 50%, then boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup of your existing setup. Next wipe data, cache, and Dalvik cache and install the custom ROM from the associated zip file. Bear in mind that the first boot after flashing a new ROM will take a few (5 to 10) minutes. After booting the phone configure your Google account, update your Play Store apps, and configure the phone settings to suit your preference then reboot your phone. Be patient: Try out the new ROM for a couple of days before making a decision to move to a different ROM.
hello,
after reading almost everything i could read on the forums about the procedure of flashing roms, i'm left with a few questions that i couldn't find answers to, or i found more then one answer.I read all the following, and more:

My devicee is a Defy+ with Gingerbread 2.3.6. I found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=28 "Android 2.3.6 Blur_Version.45.0.1610.MB526.Partner.en.IL" rom which is supposed to be my stock rom.
1. My main concern is always to keep the option to go back to stock rom. As i read here, this might be a problem with Defy+, but only if i flash SBF files, which i dont plan to. Is it correct that i will be able to flash the stock rom with RDS_lite, motorola drivers and bootloader (power up with VOL up) at any time?
questions about recovery:
2. I understand that i need TWRP 2.3.6 in order to flash new roms, and since recovery is protected in Defy, i must use 2nd_init to bypass stock recovery. Is 2nd_init include the custom recovery in it? if so, which one? and what version?
3. can i install CWM or TWRP without using 2nd_init?
4. What is rom_manager (for CWM) or goo.im (for TWRP) and do i really need them?
5. what is update_recovery.zip mentioned as part of the procedure here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036 does it update the custom recovery or the stock recovery? is it really needed since some of the procedures described above skip this step?
choosing a custom rom:
6. I'm looking for adnroid 4.4. what is the difference between this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597719 (AOSP Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)) and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036 (CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+))
7. If i want a as-close-as-possible to google original kitkat 4.4, which one should i use?
Thanks,
Roy.
I have some of the same questions you have... will follow this topic, hoping for some info! thx!
1. You can always go back to stock ROM using RSDLite. There is no such problem with the Defy+.
2. After rooting, install the 2ndinit app to install ClockworkMod recovery (which is now outdated). Then reboot, and flash this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48501247&postcount=1250 in the recovery. This way you will get TWRP recovery required to flash newer ROMs such as 4.4.x ROMs.
3. The 2ndinit app installs custom recovery. This info is clearly given in Zephyrot's guide -
Here is where 2nd Init comes to play, this little awesome app kicks in right after the Bootloader and allows the Defy to load a different, non-Stock Android.
With this, you can also install a Custom Recovery, which runs from the Internal Memory, and is not ran from the Recovery Partition (remember: locked, not accessible) what does this means? That even screwing up your phone, deleting all your stuff, or screwing /system partition the phone can still get into Recovery, be recognized by RSD Lite in Bootloader Mode and be flashed with a Stock or modified Rom (more on this later) and it will come back to live normally.

4. You don't need them.
5. None of the recovery updates touch the stock recovery. The stock recovery is built-in, and due to the locked bootloader, it cannot be removed or modified. For 4.4.x ROMs, it is sufficient to follow step 2. This guide explains the steps for installing KitKat - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568325.
6. The AOSP ROM is severely outdated, I recommend you to try SlimKat or CM. AOSP is pure android (stock android you find in Nexus devices).
7. Using CM or Slimkat is sufficient. Also there is no 'Best ROM'. It depends on the user's opinion and requirement.

Hello everyone,
last night I was toying with my Note 3 (SM-N9005) European Edition and I succesfully rooted the phone and installed Super SU.
Super SU was upgraded automatically via TWPR.
Tried to Flash Darkwolf Note7 rom for Note3.
Installation starts, but once it begines I get an error about wrong footer and the progress bar stops.
So I went back, used Odin again, changed from TWRP to CWM tried to flash again the same Rom got verification of zip file failed.
Downloaded RessurectionRom with 6.0.1 for note 3, same issue.
Went back again, changed from CWM to TWRP once more, same issue.
Installation fails
Ultimately had to recover the ROM that I had backed up.
Not sure what the problem is?
Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.
Read the roms OP a guess is you are using the wrong version of TWRP .
TWRP recovery recommended, 2.8.7.0. Newer versions are not supported
Ι don't think that the issue mate.
I downloaded exactly what I should have according to their site and the tutorial I follow.
Furthermore CWM has a dedicated CWM for note 9005 which again was unable to complete the installation.
So any other thoughts?
This is most likely due to the unsupported version of twrp you are using as darkwolf ported roms uses aroma/pico installer. Use below v3 like 2.8 you should be able to launch aroma installer.
REMEMBER TO FLASH A CUSTOM KERNEL OR IT WILL NOT BOOT ONCE YOU FINISH FLASHING THE DARKWOLF ROM AS DARKWOLF ROMS DONT HAVE ANY KERNEL INCLUDED.
I recommend using SKYNET GENESIS as your custom kernel. You will know how good it is after you install it:laugh:
I highly recommend you not to use note 7 darkwolf rom as your daily driver... features are really good but in actuall fact heats up like mad and drains battery very well
If there's still problems after trying my methods out please let me know i will give a full tutorial on how to install the DARKWOLF ROM on youtube
Cheers!

That by the way is a closed thread by the mods on xda .
Hi guys, thank you for your replies.
But to b honest I am a bit of a novice. I just checked some tutorial videos and I though FUN let's sprush up the NOTE 3....
So I do not know how to proceed??
Let's see if I can help you with at least installing a CM12.1 on the n9005. Once you can successfully install CM12.1, you'll have a basic working knowledge of flashing.
Download the latest tar version of TWRP for the n9005 from here: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3internationalqualcomm.html
Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.133178914,d.amc
Download the latest cm12.1 for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
Download the latest ARM version of gapps for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: http://opengapps.org/
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time.
Make sure CM12.1 and gapps are either on a micro SD card or the phone's internal memory. If CM12.1 and gapps are on a micro SD card, insert the card into the phone.
Put the phone into download mode, connect the phone to the computer, flash TWRP in the PDA slot. When you see the word "reset" in the status window remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination (home, volume up, power) to boot into recovery which should now be TWRP.
Once you are in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, install CM12.1, install gapps, and reboot.

Hi Guys,
I have a N910F Device , so I have yesterday worked on Rooting the Rom and Install Custom Rom.
I have using a Tutorial from Saarliner Rom Devloper and his Rom N4Rom but after I have flashing TWRP over Odin and get in Odin and erase all and install Rom there were Bootloop.
After I have flashed Remix Rom Project or other Rom ever and ever the Same ever Bootloop
My Question what I have make wrong?
- Download Mode
-TWRP Recover flashing
- Erease all up to Point Micro SD
- Flashing New Rom
Isn´t Correct that?
I knowing from S2/S3/S4/S5
First Root stock Rom then TWRP then Custom Rom or was it right?
1. 910F is known to have an eMMC problem - read about it
2. when you flash an 910F it is advised to do it in a cool environment - no joke, get a fan to blow on it or something - because heat produce the damage from point 1
3. it looks ok what you did, but did you updated to the ROM required BL and Modem ? did you respected all the instructions? why don't you try to talk with the saarliner rom creator/developer?
To 1. isn´t present , because Stock Rom are working fine and without any Reboots or Errors.
To 2. yes it was very hot.
To 3. Yes i did and yes i have read it 2 times, so my Question is when I would like to install a Custom Rom, i must have a rooted Stock then Recovery TWRP flash then Custom Rom isn´t it?
Because the Way from Saarliner look like not complete, i can´t imagen that it work so in the Tutorials. The Developer self has a Broken N4.

Not obligatory to have a rooted stock. After flashing TWRP, you can root it also - my advice is to use Magisk for root.
Also as advice - if saarliner rom is not working, try some other rom. The snapdragon forum has some roms, both touchwiz based and AOSP.
I will try it out.
Soon I will get my hands on a SM-T530 (Lollipop), I've been looking around and I have decided that I want to try a custom rom. I'm not totally new to this, but my knowledge is limited. I have installed KatKiss on a TF300T a few years back.
My intent is to take this slow, make good choices based on advice and most importantly don't brick the device.
For recovery:
Should I use this TWRP? https://eu.dl.twrp.me/matisse/
Or this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-matisse-millet-t4019831
Other that is better?
Do I need root?
From the Lineage thread: Magisk doesn't work, you can use this ROM just unrooted. Later in the thread this is mentioned: Yes, magisk is working with this rom. - magisk needs to be flashed separately in recovery once device is set up .
If yes, is this something to look into? https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-t3293163
For custom rom:
Is this the best one to get? (LightningFastRom-17.1 (Q/10) https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/lightningfastrom-17-1-q-10-t4057209
Is this a possible solution?
Flash recommended TWRP with Odin
Backup with TWRP?
Boot to recovery and flash suitable custom rom
Reboot to recovery and flash gapps (do I need to flash SuperSU?)
And finally reboot into the new rom
Thank you any help. I realize there already are many threads and I hope my thread shows that I've been reading around a bit. I did it like this the last time, starting a thread, it made the whole process easier for me.
