Do the FOllowing..
1- Theres No need to Root As u just need a custom recovery to Flash the ROM
2- Flash TWRP OR Philz recovery USING ODIN
3- Copy the rom into your SD Card
4- Reboot into recovery using the 3 button combo (Volume up+home+power)
5- Philz- Format data> Clean to install a new Rom. or TWRP- Wipe>Advanced Wipe> Data, dalvik, system, cache, FORMAT
6- Flash the rom..and Reboot
7- You will not have wifi Working Flash MJ5 bootloader from Dr.Ketan's thread using ODIN and you are good to go..
Now YOU ARE ROOTED and on a 4.3 BASED ROM
No official Updates for yo.. in any case.. WHO NEEDS THEM??
Ask if there are any questions

thanks a lot ... but I need to know if I can go from 4.1.2 and flash the official 4.4.2 ( when it roll out ) on my note2 without any additional steps ?

what is your firmware sir?? maybe its about your firmware that the rom is compatible with so that it wont stuck on samsung logo or bootloop if you have that firmware like DXKL2 and DXLC1
Here you go CWM by madteam:
http://www.mediafire.com/?n3x18su3495fr8l
Also do remember to data wipe and cache wipe from both stock and CWM recoveries before installing any rom..If the ROM still doesnt flash ..use the stock rom package from dokys thread in android development and re-flash..that must fix the issue..

installing super jelly bean

So im not quite fammiliar with xperia devices but im trying to install the latest sjb rom, i dont get the part to flash the kernal before flashing the cwm recovery and the rom. I download fusion kernel v5.5 but i get a .img file, the flashtool wants a.sin file(when i tryto use "select kernal to flash"). I tried to do a full wipe, then flashing sbj trough cwm recovery but it just goes into a bootloop. Flashed 0.537 firmare to get it to normal status again. bootloader is unlocked,atleast it said "bootloader unlocked allowed=yes" in phone info.
1. Did you set Flashtool to fastboot mode?
2. Is the kernel compatible with the ROM?

i dont understand step number 2
0.Only for unlocked bootlader
1. Copy super jelly bean and gapps to sd card
2. Flash any jb kernel for neov via fastboot.. i recommend fusion kernel 5.4 (present inside the zip file )
3.[OPTIONAL] flash stock ics .587 ftf excluding kernel and simlock.ta files..
4. boot into recovery
5.Perform Full Wipes
ie :
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
in mounts and storage , wipe system , data and cache
6.Flash Super Jelly Bean Rom
8.Flash the patch for your respective devices.
7.Flash gapps , Provided in download page
8.Boot
9.Let the rom settle for 15 to 20 minutes
10.Reboot at least once in 2 days

Well you need to unlock boatloader... Simply having unlock allowed yes won't do... Once you unlock you can flash the required kernel in fastboot...

but why does it want to flash a kernel for neo v? lol a different device. also why would i need to unlock bootloader since i already installed a perfectly working cwm and rooted the phone?

Flash jb kernel for your device only... You need unlocked boatloader to flash custom kernel... Custom kernels are needed to boot non stock roms... With cwm you can flash rom but that doesn't mean it will boot without the corresponding kernel...

Open the window, where you are supposed to choose the kernel file from. At the bottom of that window, look for a small drop-down clickable menu (by default there is *.sin written). Open the menu, choose *.img from the list and then you can flash the kernel.
EDIT: Unlock your bootloader first as well. It must show "bootloader unlocked: yes" in the menu.

Missed that, edited my post. Cheers!
thanks for the answers, but i already gave the device back to my friend, i was forced to install a custom rom based on ics so had no time to unlock bootloader. he needed it for work. i will probably get it again some time and unlock the bootloader. thanks again for your answers and time. I've done alot of rooting different devices but this one has giving me a hard time, maybe coz i didnt search very thoroughly and my lack of time. cheers and have a good day

i just install SJB8.0 on yesterday and found after i reboot device all shortcut in desktop that i move data to SD card disappear
but for shortcut that the data keep in phone no have any problem.
anyone can help me for this problem.
sorry for poor english
If I understand properly, you cant access files/apps that you previously backed up to sd card?
Anyway guys, Im having a really weird problem with SJB 8.0, I downloaded rom, gaps, patch and kernel, then copied everything except kernel to sd card, flashed kernel (and it worked), then I did full wipe but when I tried to flash rom, I got an "installation aborted error (bad)".
The interesting thing is that when I try to extract the rom (AND gapps) on computer, I also get an error for both of the files (the file is damaged/corrupted etc.).
So is there a problem with files (rom and gapps) on dev-host or what? It's wierd cuz patch for arc can be either flashed or extracted on computer.
Please help. :/
EDITED:
Okay problem solved, the gapps and rom files were corrupted so I had to download them couple of times to get it working (tried to extract it first on comp. to check) and then it worked while flashing too, so everything's good now.

[Q] Bootloop with TWRP but not with Philz ??

Hello all,
I found a workaround to my issue but cannot get any explanations so i ask
Each time i install TWRP recovery, my phone is stuck in a bootloop : Note 2 logo, Teamwin logo and note 2 logo, etc etc...
To get my phone boots i need to flash Philz recovery via Odin and that's all...
little issue is that i prefer twrp recovery (for some options missing in philz) and planned to test DN3 rom and according to the FAQ, install via philz needs to format ext SD and i do not want to do this
i am under XXDMG1 Bootloader and this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531989, yes it is a non wipe odex rom and yes i was to lazy to do a proper install so this one was good to test first leaks of 4.3 so yes i sometime experience some random reboots (that's why i wanted to test another rom) !
if i rememer well, issue with bootloop whan using twrp happened the first time i tested it when i attempted to root my phone with stock rom...
thank you in advance for answers or suggestions

The FAQ never stated to wipe "ext SD card" ,it advised you wipe your internal/phone memory and what you can do is install the ROM via latest philz 6.25 or 6.26.0 let the ROM boot go through the set up screen and then you can switch recoveries to twrp ,and reboot.The phone shouldn't bootloop anymore

you are right, i did not read well, faq said :
5: Format Internal SDCard (in mounts and storage) and do Factory reset (I will install a new ROM option in PhilZ)
so i do not matter format internal sd caus i did a backup... i installed latest philz recovery, i may update boot loader XXDMG1 to MJ5 before flash DN3 ?

Yes if you have any contents on your internal sd card make a back up and then wipe it clean using the options in philz, and after flashing your ROM upgrade to MJ5 bootloader for working wifi but let me tell you that none of the 4.3 Bootloaders would charge your phone when running 4.4.2 when turned off so if that's of importance to you ,you would want to upgrade to KitKat bootloader which is ND3 but it's knoxed meaning you cannot downgrade to 4.1.2 only 4.3 is possible plus warranty is void. I'll link you up with ND3 bootloader incase you decide to switch later but MJ5 is a must to have.

mj5 is a must for any ROM over 4.1.2 some people used the wifi patch from dr.ketan's thread but it seems the wifi patch is not enough when being on bootloader older than mj5 while running 4.4 ROM so mj5 is the minimum bootloader requirement to have properly working wifi connection and then upgrade to ND3 bootloader later if you feel the need.Enjoy the ROM

I had that issue twice when i was flashing system fonts on my phone using philz recovery but luckily for me just pulling the battery out for sometime and restarting the font solved the issue. If you still get error try this Method if that fails then try this other Method One of them should help you out but let's pray reflashing the ROM again and properly flashing the BL again solves your issue.

Pardon Me.. But I'm a newbie... Custom ROM suggestions required...

Hi ,
I am new here.. not new to rooting ....
I used to use my Samsung galaxy grand i9082 but switched to nexus 5 last year...
Since then my grand has been sitting in my cupboard drawer. I also found this phone very slow performance so switched...
But now i am thinking of flashing a custon Rom to increase its performance and remove all the bloatware...
so i need suggestions of a stable custom ROM with good performance and all features working like dual sim ...etc..
Can you guys help me .... ?
Lollipop or Kitkat or Marshmellow expected with fast perfomance and no lagging ( I guess Marshmellow will lag too much so i can go with KK or Lollipop...)
Please suggest me ...
CM12.1
I cant even flash my recovery...( i dont know why.... its so easy for nexus 5 )
First of all i cant find any download link for CWM recovery for i9082...( .tar file which can be flashed using odin.. ihave the zip file with name CWM_6.0.5.0_Non_Touch_xenon92.zip )
As of now i have downloaded TWRP recovery i9082_TWRP_skullface.tar which is flashed successfully using odin3 v3.07.
but when i restart the device after booting into android it again shows android recovery ...
I also tried the unchecking the auto reboot in odin and removing battery after flashing and trying to boot into recovery but again no result ..everytime the samsung logo comes and again phone restarts and same goes again and again till i boot into the android.
Can anyone give me the CWM recovery...thanks in advance....
Also i have download 2 super user SU files with diffrent version.... UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25_2.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip ...can anyone confirm if the latter one ( new version ) will work.....

Try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3073108
That is a CM 12.1 port to grand duos by pawitp. It is pretty stable and functional. Though I experienced frequent freezing with the latest build 20151115, I got it fixed by installing frost kernel ( here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2927449).
After installing frost kernel, adjust your cpu governor to lulzactive, and your i/o scheduler to sioplus (the most recommended setting for Grand duos with CM 12.1).
Though the consequences of using custom kernel with that rom is that you can no longer uses delta upgrade features of that rom, you have to download full update build and flash it as if you're to flash new rom (though without wiping cache partition and dalvik cache).
Good luck with your quest to find perfect rom for your grand duos!
Install CM12.1 (Based on Lollipop 5.1.1) by pawitp. It is stable and very fast. I'm using it currently
