Before we flash this ROM, here is a brief checklist of what you need:

A Samsung Galaxy Note 2 – GT N7100. Do not try using this guide with other devices.
- Check the device’s model number by going to Settings>About Device> Model
The device needs to be rooted and has a custom recovery installed.
The battery needs to be charged to at least over 60 percent.
Back up all important contacts, messages, call logs and contacts.
You have used your custom recovery to create a backup of your current ROM, to create an EFS backup and to back up your modem.

Note: The methods needed to flash custom recoveries, ROMs and to root your phone can result in bricking your device. Rooting your device will also void the warranty and it will no longer be eligible for free device services from manufacturers or warranty providers. Be responsible and keep these in mind before you decide to proceed on your own responsibility. In case a mishap occurs, we or the device manufacturers should never be held responsible.
