Flashing Custom Rom: Samsung

Galaxy Note 2, Step-by-Step

Eric Fluckiger | ENGL 2100 | April 14, 2016

Feeling Left Out?

Have you ever had an app refuse to download, or update, just because your phone is
too old? Nothing is more irritating then being forced into buying new hardware
even though your phone is more than capable of running any app the Play Store
could throw at it. Fortunately for us, it is possible to update your aging phone, even
though the phone companies would have you think otherwise.

What will I need?

Its simple, all you need is this guide and four things:
-Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Getting Started:

First thing, go to this link on your computer https://mega.nz/#!EgdD2DyB!UBk6aoJy-Z


and download the All Tools software package. Inside of the package you will see a
folder named Kingo Root. Install kingoroot.exe onto your computer. Once this
program is installed on your computer you are ready to move onto unlocking your
phone for a new operating system.

in recovery mode, we will be able to do many useful things, such as creating a
backup of your entire system, and flashing the new OS onto your phone.
1. On the phone, you will need to hold down three buttons at the same time in
order to reboot into recovery mode. Those three buttons are:
