Hi, If your are a noob as i was, you may have to a lot of reading inorder to flash a MIUI or CM7 rom. Here is a collection of my experience, hope it will make yours a bit better. As always, I am not responsible for what your phone will, can and may do as a result of incorrect flashing
1. Make sure that you have a gingerbread (From here on refferred to as GB) bootloaders. If you have eclair/froyo, here is an odin1click link to flash the leaked GB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 Keep this odin1click close at hand, incase of soft bricking. Remember to root!
Do you have Captivate usb drivers installed? If not download kies mini and install. The link is below
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT
2. Once you have flashed the odin package, go to market and download rom manager, and flash the clockworkmod recovery.
3. After that, things get a whole lot easier. Download the miui rom from the following sources:
http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-development-roms/
http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/forum/index.php?topic=1609.0
Save them in your sd card and not in a folder!
4.Boot into recovery, flash the package and voila! you have miui installed!
To the future and beyond!

I've run Miui for a long time, and I've never once installed GB or GB boot loaders, before loading Miui. I've always come straight from stock JF6. Also, if you have 3 button recovery you don't need to download ROM Manager, all you need to do is drop the CWM.zip, and the Miui ROM onto your internal SD, boot into recovery, select "install zip", "choose zip", select your CWM, you'll have to do this twice for CWM, then once booted into CWM repeat it a 3rd time, this time selecting your ROM, and you've installed Miui

Incase 3-button recovery is not working, i had to include the rom manager. The first time i flashed my captivate, it did not have 3-button recovery.
Again, the first time i flashed miui from stock eclair, i was caugt in a boot loop.
Remember this is a total sum of my experience flashing my cappy...be warned experiences may vary
So.. If i'm currently on another rom.. Dlev's ver 5.0.. with captivate gingerbread bootloaders.. all i need to do is put MIUI 1.9.9 on my sd card, boot into recovery.. wipe.. and install?
Yeah, pretty much.
@OP MIUI/CM7 does not require GB BL, Where have you read this ?

No, MIUI/cm7 do not require GB bootloaders. MIUI is compatible with I897 GB bootloaders (I use them), but I don't know about CM7(never flashed it). Also, about installation.
When you initially d flash MIUI, it will reboot into cwm. Do a factory reset and flash it again. No need for clearing anything the second time. First time, just do a factory reset before flashing.
Im running cm7 on froyo you do need GB bl for both MISI and CM7, Just wanted ask OP as the info he has posted is wrong which is misleading for new member's.
"/efs" folder backup
I would like to add, before flashing any custom roms, back up (copy) your "/efs" folder (in phones root directory) using root explorer (or similar application), and place the copy on your SD card, *and* on your computer for safety. I don't think this is stressed enough.
I have read of some of these roms altering the product code / IMEI of the phone (also happened to me when I flashed CM7 a while back), and having a backup of the original "/efs" makes it way easier to get the original product code and IMEI back. I think the product code / IMEI can be restored without a backup, but it isn't much fun to do.
Restoring correct imei without backup of efs/nv_data is a nightmare/impossible, so take a backup of ur efs folder right now
Sent From I9100®
The efs data file was a nightmare for me. I had not saved it the first time i flashed.. and unlocking the phone was nearly impossible after.
+1 save the efs file
Read somewhere (I guess in the MIUI thread) that GB bootloaders were necessary to flash MIUI. Ii didn't try to flash it from stock Froyo.
GB bootloaders are not required for MIUI/CM7, but the i897 loaders are compatible with them.
Hi guys I'm new to the N7000 forums, but I am no means new to the android and flashing scene. I'm just a bit confused as to how to safely install ROM's on the note.
I've attached a screenshot of my "about phone" so you guys can tell me what kernel I should flash before installing different ROMs
The ROM(s) I'm interested in flashing are Jellybam, Sweet ROM (JB version) and Ultimate jellybean. Can these roms work with any safe kernel? i.e. once iv'e flashed philz or franco kernel I can let the flashing begin.
Also do I need to flash a safe kernel in order to install cyanogenmod or other, not based on stock roms?
Forgot to mention that I am rooted. Any help at all would be appreciated, if I am wrong about anything so far, feel free to set me straight.
Thanks to all who responded, if anyone else wants to reply feel free but i'm going to mark this as resolved so their won't be any confusion.

if you are on stock kernel then download Philz kernel for LP7, flash that in recovery, should give you root again aswell. then you can flash away to any of the ROMs you listed above. just every time you flash a ROM or think of factory reset or data wiping make SURE you're on a SAFE kernel. that's all
as you are rooted, just install any safe kernel like hydracore or philz. thats all. then you can try out any rom. Just make sure you follow the instruction to flash the rom in the OP
I saw that the Philz kernel has a lot of different versions, which one do I choose, am I right in saying the UBLPC one, as that is my build number? Or any one can work, I also read that you should not flash with the temp CWM, I will admit though I used the temp CWM to flash the root files and i'm still ok but I don't want to take any chances, how do I flash with the stock recovery?

the zip file mentioned above can be flashed using stock recovery. Put the file on ext SD card > boot into recovery > apply update from external storage > thats it

First, forget about the franco kernel. The franco kernel for the Note is outdated and thus useless. Second, if you plan to flash a JB leak the only kernel you should use is PhilZ. And especially important with the JB leaks is to stick exactly to the instructions how to flash. Otherwise your phone won't even boot.
Have fun with your device! The Note is still an outstanding phone.

Thanks guys for the quick replies, i'm gonna flash the philz kernel now and give the leaked version of JB a try.

I have carbon ROM installed. However the power menu and ROM manager options to reboot to recovery do not work. They just take me to the nook install failed screen. I like to mess with ROMs and I would love to must be able to install ROMs on the fly. I can get into recovery if in install my origal boot SD I used to get cwm into the device. Anyone have any advice for that?

It is booting to recovery, stock recovery.
If you want CWM or TWRP recovery internally, you must install them. Go to verygreen's emmc CM10.1 thread and he has flashable zips to put one on your internal memory, replacing stock recovery.
Or, as you said, you could just boot to your CWM SD that you used to install Carbon.

Hi,
I installed CM10.2 on my Nook HD+ but left the stock recovery on. I figured that it would help to reinstall the stock rom if something goes wrong.
Is there a way to install CM10.2 updates on my tablet without removing the stock recovery. The sdcard-based CWM worked on the stock rom but it no longer works on CM10.2. I have tried a couple of recoveries but none of them worked.
Do I have to install a custom recovery on EMMC to be able to do updates? If so, how can I install the custom recovery after installing 10.2?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just follow the "Make the CWM sd" guide from here .It works for the cm emmc install also.
Also why would you not flash custom recovery? If something goes wrong or if you want to go back to stock you could just flash the factory stock ROM from the cwm SD you made. You can get it from the same thread.

The same CWM SD you used to flash CM10.2 should still work with CM10.2 installed on emmc. You must have somehow modified the original SD. Try making the SD from scratch again. You can keep stock recovery on emmc if you want so that you can easily reset to stock if you want.
But once you have that SD working you can still flash the CWM or TWRP zip to emmc with it, along with the updated CM you wanted to install.

Hi,
I own a Galaxy S Advance. It came with Gingerbread and then I updated it with Jelly Bean using Kies.
I have not installed any non samsung android OS on my phone.
By now reading the way I have written my post, you would have realized I dont know anything about cusotm rom's or rooting etc etc.
I am tired of the slowness of my phone. I want to give CM 10.2 a try. I have backed up all my data. I know there exists a way to revert to original Samsung OS incase I have any issues with the CM 10.2.
I dont know how to proceed to install CM 10.2 on my phone.
If some one can please guide me through the process I will be thankful.

It will work without anything. Just with stock recovery. No need to root, CoCore.. Piece of cake.
But @kckinn if you want to use anything else, you will need to flash stock JB. You can't install any stock ROM or previous CM from CM10.2 (some partition is changed, so classic instalation or using backup will not work).

Your replies are very much appreciated.
However, due to lack of my technical knowledge I could not make complete sense.
Here is what I understand.
1. No need to root or install cocore kernel prior to installing CM 10.2.
2. I need to download and save the zip file and gapps zip folders on my external storage and perform the following, as mentioned in the CM 10.2 post:
"Reboot on Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Select "Install the Zip from External Storage"
Choose CM zip file
Choose GApps zip file
Reboot to system"
Here are my questions:
1. When it says "external storage", does it mean I need to have a external SD card. Or can I use the inbuilt 16GB space which the phone comes with.
2. Where should I download it from ? I can download it either from goo. im where the file name is "cm-10.2-20131025-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip"or the link provided by th3cr0w where the file name is "cm-10.2-20131118-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip ". As per my understanding "cm-10.2-20131118-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip" is the latest nightly. So can I use the latest nightly directly or do I need to first install first from "cm-10.2-20131025-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip" ?
3. In the last line of your reply you mentioned "But @kckinn if you want to use anything else, you will need to flash stock JB. You can't install any stock ROM or previous CM from CM10.2 (some partition is changed, so classic instalation or using backup will not work).".
I could not understand what you meant. Do you mean to say I need to flash stock rom before trying to install CM 10.2 or do you mean to say I will have to flash stock rom incase I want to revert to samsung JB?
I actually dont know what is meant by 'flash'. I once updated to gingerbread on an old galaxy phone which came with froyo using ODIN. Is that what is called 'flashing"

1. External storage is SD card that you put in your phone, not internal storage.
2. Search CM10.2 thread for that cm-10.2-20131118-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip, no need to install previous one.
3. That is if you want to go back to stock JB or any other ROM. Flashing = installing. Yeah, just like that, with Odin. (beware, do not use firmware for NON P version, you have P version as I see (16GB)). And you might need to change tee folder look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191628

I also would like to go over to CM10.2. Currently on CoCore 8.2, but I am a little confused if I can flash CM over that. I see in the above discussion that it's desirable, but in post #2 of the CoCore thread, it says that CoCore only works with stock firmware:
Quote:
Q: What firmware does this kernel support?
A: All ROM bases on stock firmwares,all stock firmwares.
So, I'm not sure if i should go back to stock 4.1.2 and root it or go ahead with CoCore installed.
And, I understand from the above discussion that 4.1.2 doesn't need to be rooted to install CM, but of course it does have to be rooted to install CWM (or CoCore), as well as to use Titanium Backup (that's how I restore my apps). Where do I find CWM for this ROM/this device if I have to remove CoCore?
One more thing, I have 23 toggles installed on top of CoCore. Will they go away or interfere with CM10.2?
