Well, first of all you need to be on 4.3 stock
Then, flash the CWM using flashtool (4.4 CM11 kernel, don't use 4.3 kernel)
Then put the Custom ROM that you want to your sdcard and flash it using CWM
And follow the instructions and done! :laugh:

My device:- GT-N7100 ( Galaxy Note 2 international Version)
I am currently using Omega 18v (Android 4.1.2)
I would like to upgrade my omega rom to any other custom 4.4.2 kit kat rom..
Now my question is..
1) Can i flash rom directly from 4.1.2 to new downloaded 4.4.2 rom
{ I believe that first we have to upgrade android to STOCK 4.3 and then i need to install 4.4.2 right.. }
Please correct me if i wrong.
2) If I take my 4.1.2 android nand backup using philz recovery..
and then i will install 4.4.2 rom..
Now after installing 4.4.2 can i able to restore my previous backup ie.. 4.1.2
{ I saw some threads and posts that we cannot downgrade our rom from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2..}
Please solve my questions.
sorry for my bad english..

Yes you can directly flash 4.4.2 even if you are coming from 4.1.2 ROM,only thing you'd need is MJ5 bootloader (it's the last known bootloader that is KNOX free and works perfectly with 4.3 and 4.4.2 Touch wiz rom as well 4.4 AOSP ROM .You need MJ5 bootloader basically to have Wifi Working.Some people managed to get it working by staying on old bootloader and only flashing Dr.Ketan's wifi fix but in either case you don't need to upgrade to official 4.3 to flash 4.4.2.If you upgrade to stock 4.3 from samsung you will have Knoxed bootloader which will prevent downgrading to 4.1.2.So if you think you'd ever want to go back to 4.1.2 ROM then you shouldn't upgrade to stock 4.3 and just flash custom roms (after flashing the mj5 bootloader).I can provide you download link and instructions for MJ5 bootloader which can be flashed after upgrading your ROM to 4.3 or 4.4.2.Make sure you have a backup of your 4.1.2 ROM along with EFS PARTITION(that's a must) and then proceed ahead with flashing new ROMS.

Ok, so I install that firmware, no problem is I have the P6-U06? and after that, unlock, flash twpr for kitkat and flash a rom. How about the 3G? It will work? (Im asking because I read that sometimes china has different 3G bands, so odont know if there will be some side effect using the chinesse rom)

But if I want it only to install TWPR and custom rom, is ok to use B506?
And another question, if I want to return stock, just need to flash the official international rom? and i want to use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702483 or do you reccomend another one? (I know that the rom choose is more personal, but I just want an advice to start, and the language i can install spanish with MoreLocal I think)

B506 was what i used and worked well and you dont need to unlock the bootloader its already unlocked thats why you want b506. I dont know exactly how downgrading works never done it. I went trough hyd52rom v7 and v3 but i ended up flashing omni and still using it and 3g works for me (I live in Finland).

pacman rom uses 32bit architecture and euphoria uses 64 bir architecture.
so before you flash euphoria rom you have to flash cm12 rom official update and after that you can flash euphoria rom.
and if you are experienced person then follow this GUIDE
this guide contain a flashable file using this file you can flash direct euphoria from your pacman rom.
other wise to be safe.
just flash cyanogen official cm12 and then flash euphoria.
Thanks Bro Used The Guide and flashed the rom
one last question can i revert back to 32bit pacman rom using nandroid backup??????? that i made using twrp

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
if you do this you will brick your mobile.
if you want to go to kitkat first downgrade using this GUIDE
and then you can flash any kitkat base rom
So should I flash cm11 first then restore nandroid backup using twrp?????

first you should decide what you want to do ?
will you want to go for lollipop or do you want to restore your back up ?
and yes if you want to restore backup you should be on kitkat only.

I'm currently on S3 Stock ROM Rooted , Latest TWRP Installed, Android 4.4.2 & I747ICUFNJ2 , I need help regarding which custom rom is best for battery & do I need to update my boot loader before installing any custom rom above Kit Kat ?
There is no requirement to update the bootloader to run a custom ROM above 4.4.2.

as far as your other question, i would try carbonrom. having a different kernel will also increase battery life but there doesnt seem to be alot of options for this variants, the i9300 has boeffla kernel.
hi guys
after hearing about anti rollback i have a doubt regarding flashing roms.
1. could i flash any rom on miui 10 after boot loader unlock?
or
2. i have to flash only miui based rom or oreo based rom?
or
3.i could flash any oreo or above version i.e. pie based rom?
You can flash any custom ROM but don't flash any firmware (don't flash firmware)
ok thnx alot bro
is there any rom which need flashing firmware prior installing?

All ROM required you to flash firmware, since you are already using latest MIUI ROM you don't have to flash any firmware
Flashing older firmware file will brick your device so it's better to avoid flashing any firmware file
thnx alot bro for explaining
