Want to install a custom ROM on your rooted Galaxy Note 2?
Well, here’s a universal install guide for those of you who don’t know how to install custom ROM.
Before we begin, go ahead and make sure you make a backup of your apps, SMS, contacts, etc.
Step 1. All custom ROMs come in a zip file format. Usually there’s 1 or 2 files you will need. So, go ahead and download the ROM zip file(s). In this example, I will be installing a custom ROM called Space X, so I downloaded SpaceX.zip, which is the ROM file. Copy the whole file (DO NOT UNZIP) to the internal storage or microSD card of your Note 2.
Step 2. Turn off your Note 2. Then boot into CWM Recovery by holding down Volume Up, Center Home, and the Power buttons together.
Step 3. Before you go any further, make sure you made at least one backup ROM. If you didn’t, please see How to Backup/Restore ROM on Galaxy Note 2 before preceding!!!
Next, use the Volume buttons to choose “wipe data/factory reset” and hit the Power button. This will erase all of your settings, apps, etc… However it will not erase anything on your internal storage/microSD card such as photos and videos.
Step 4. Next choose “install zip from sdcard”.
Step 5. Next choose either “choose zip from sdcard” (if you copied the ROM zip file to internal storage) or “choose zip from external sdcard” (if you copied the ROM zip file to microSD card).
Step 6. Browse your file system on Note 2 and find the ROM zip file. If you have ROM zip file and Gapps zip file, choose the ROM zip file first.
Step 7. Choose “Yes”.
Installation should take around 5 minutes.
Step 8. Once done installing ROM, you can also install additional files need by repeating Steps 4-7). For example, you can install your Gapps zip file here.
Step 9. Lastly but not least, choose “wipe cache partition” from main menu. This will erase the “cache” partition, which are basically just temporary files and doing this may help prevent unwanted bootloops.
Step 10. Choose “Reboot system now” to reboot.
Step 11. The first boot will take around 5 minutes. You should see a welcome screen pop up. If so, congratulations, you’ve successfully installed your first custom ROM!
Step 12. Now, go ahead and restore all of your apps, SMS, contacts.

I just installed a new rom with help from your vid.
But when i open CWM it says that i should use a different root??(cf-root v5.0)
Can you help my out here? Can i update the root file or somthing like that?
Gr. Ximon
Great vid btw
different root???
This is the message i get wheb i open CWM :
This version of CWM Manager should be used with cf-root v5.0 or newer
It appears youre running a different kernel.
If i already have root access which comes after installation of rom via mobile odin pro, can i reinstall cwm because i dont find it when use 3 buttons press. Then,i just follow your steps to install rom?
Yes follow the root method to install CWM.
would be cool if you added a downloads directory or download links in the site menu with all the files you mention in the tutorials.
for example,
you mention gapps but there is no link for it?

If the download link states NO-Wipe, do I not proceed with factory reset?
Somehow my GN2 can’t boot into CWM Recovery by holding down Volume Up, Center Home, and the Power buttons together. It used to work, but not anymore.
What should I do?
Please help.
I used your guide but the External SD Card wont mount? I checked everything and it seems fine? Do you have any suggestions
Hi,
I don´t have the option “choose zip from sdcard”
What can i do?
When I boot into system recovery using Volume Up, Center Home, and the Power buttons together. I only get options to reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and apply update from cache no install zip from SD card or any other options from the picture. How do I fix this or install the pacman rom without this.
I get:
“unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped.”
btw my ATT phone will no longer make calls now….any help would be appreciated
sorry wrong post …ignore

hello,I followed all the steps from rooting to installing.I wanted to install JellyBAM ROM v7.4 that I got from this site.I’m using a SGH-i317M model and I even download the ROM that is compatible with my model.The problem is during the “install zip from sdcard” ,I picked the zip file and install it but there was an error saying “E : Error in /sdcard/jellybam-v7.4.0_t0lte – STABLE.zip (status 7)” why? and how?
Update CWM Recovery to latest using ROM Manager.
where do I get that? and thats it? then I just repeat the steps?
Download ROM Manager from Play Store then there’s an option to flash CWM Recovery, try that.
I have my rooted note 2 and I was just wondering if there is any kind of risk when proceeding to flash a custom rom, I do have a lot of experience doing it, I had a GS2 and did thousands of flashes of new ROMs, I really did get hi on android, but I have seen that there is an emmc bug that could cause your N2 to brick for life. It happened to my SGS2 so I don’t want to risk it, if there is any risk at all, is there? If there is what workaround is there to overpass that problem. Please answer, I realy want a custom rom in my N2.
