Follow this tutorial here before installing cm
You have to install twrp recovery from maclaw
And we don't need to update anything for installing a rom and say hi for rooting

I just give you a hint of what you need, there are lots of guides on this forum just search for them and read carefully
First of all you must know that installing custom ROMs is potentially dangerous, it may brick your phone and it voids your warranty, you do it at your own risk.
Make sure your phone is supported by the software you're going to install, S3 mini aren't all equal, check for model number.
Before installing CM 11 you should install a custom recovery (TWRP from maclaw.pl is recommended for installing kitkat), than you can do a nandroid backup and restore it if something goes wrong, and install custom ROMs very easily.
To flash the custom recovery you need odin in windows (you can find it on maclaw.pl download page) or heimdall in linux. About odin there are lots of tutorials, just search for them, but if you need help with heimdall just ask for it

Maclaw has great instructions too on their download page - be sure to download their ODIN version to flash with Odin.
If you google "how to flash custom rom with odin" you can get detailed instructions with pictures, I found this made me a bit more confident with what the hell I was doing
CM11 was great but I found Carbon with CPU management options gave me better battery life :good:

You have to update via TWRP, because CM11 doesn´t official for us.

Yes CM11 is unofficial, however you can install any maclaw ROM using the most recent CWM firmware.

[Q] Interested in changing from 4.4.2 (ARHD) to 4.2.2 (Miui V5)

Hey guys,
I don't know the answer for sure and although I have a twrp backup I still want to avoid having un-necessary problems.. If I'm using right now ARHD 51, android 4.4.2, BulletProof 4.4.2 kernel and Twrp 2.6.3 and I wanna go for MIUI V5 which is android 4.2.2. Miui requires TWRP 2.6.0 or something like that to work, what are the stages that I have to do now?
I come from the Galaxy S I9000 and there I had to flash first stock or stock based 4.2.2 rom before flashing miui because of the different android versions and I want to know if its the same here? Can I just flash the twrp, 4.2.2 kernel and wipe and flash the miui rom? Or do I have to install some stock 4.2.2 rom first?
Thanks!

make sure to take backup before doing all this
you can try to flash MIUI v5 with TWRP 2.6.3.3, i think it will work
if not use TWRP 2.6.3.0

[Q] How to flash MIUI ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, running CM11,KitKat

Hello everyone,
I am usnig Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, running CyanogenMod 11 latest nightly, Android 4.4.4.
I want to try MIUI ROM. But in the entire MIUI thread I havent been able to find any thread talking about how to Flash MIUI ROM on devices already running on Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
So can someone please guide me how flash my mobile with MIUI ROM.

Why should there be countless instructions for every version of all available Roms?
Simply follow the installation instructions given by the owner:
Installation:
- Download latest PhilZ N7000 kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1901191
- Make a Backup of your current rom
- Flash it
- Reboot recovery
- Make a Fullwipe (dont forget to wipe /preload )
- install the rom

Thanks for speaking out something. But my question was, my mobile is already running on KitKat (Android 4.4.4) but the official developer version of MIUI for Galaxy Note N7000 is still on "Author: MIUI Official Team and Version: 3.2.22 （V4）" which is on Jellybean. So its actually downgrading. And before Installing KitKat I remember that there is a change how KitKat worked compared to Jellybean. So wont there be a different procedure while downgrading from KitKat to Jellybean??
Which is what I am unable to understand. So do tell me if there is a procedure to follow or any points to remember while downgrading from KitKat CM11 to Jellybean MIUI.

TWRP 2.6.3 or TWRP 2.8? do i need to update?

Hey guys, well i know this is probably a noob question for most of you, but im lately reading about flashing ROMS. so i installed TRWP 2.6.3 via Rashr ( probably you know this app tho) well and then i see TWRP 2.8 around and my question is, do i need to update it to 2.8 or my 2.6.3 will just work fine?
i have samsung galaxy s3 mini golden version and currently using andorid 4.1.2 and planning to flash CM11 tho.
will TWRP 2.6.3 just work with CM11 or Kitkat 4.4.?
thanks and regards.

Use the new version! You can get the latest TWRP version from novafusion.pl/downloads. Download the latest version and flash it via recovery.
Don't forget to download it for your recovery and not for Odin
sent from Hell with my GT I9100

Direct Upgrade CM 12.1 to 14

Can i update my current 12.1 to 14.1 directly?
I didn't install CM into my sony myself. I never install custom ROM before. I've just downloaded [ROM][FINAL][7.1.1] CyanogenMod 14.1 for Xperia Z by Chippa_a. Is it ok if I update my CM 12.1 to 14.1 through CM recovery's "Update" options?

Hi, this is not possible.
Please flash proper recovery + Clean flash / Wipe + Format Data to stay away from unwanted bugs and mess.
Thanks!

Hi Daedroza, thanks for helping me out. Can you share me a single link for full installation. I have official CM 12.1.
1. Can i install latest TWRP via TWRP official APP. I have CM recovery
TIA

Plz help me to upgrade to CM 14.1/LOS 14.1 step by step.
