All you need is a custom recovery.
Happy flashing!

No need to root. You can flash away

As long as you are rooted and have a recovery manager that isn't stock you are fine, when you first root all you did is root your stock software which makes the phone open. ROMs are built with SU in them, or you can stay stock and just download an SU. Hope this helped.

First off, I'm a newb who only recently flashed CM to my old Captivate.
Trying to install CM10.1 here on my Note. I am following the official instructions on their website, but pushing the recovery via ODIN instead since I don't understand Heimdall and command line stuff.
Anyways, I'm on a stock, unrooted 4.0.4 AT&T Note, CM's official directions says I don't need to be rooted and it's not advised. When I push the recovery, ODIN just sits (see picture) forever. Can anyone help?
Also, I had to delete .md5 from the file name, it was named "recovery-cwm-quincyatt.tar.md5" and ODIN didn't understand that. I have tried ODIN 3.07 and 1.85.

From the looks of it, you're doing everything right. Have you tried to redownload the tar? Maybe a bad download...just a thought...I would also uncheck reset time. Just keep reboot checked only. If you're still having problems after a fresh download, then grab Braways version in development
Also, The "command line stuff" can just be copied and pasted...

Did a fresh download, same result. Sits at 99.9% Link to Braways version? This works with CM10.1?
EDIT: Is this the "Braways version" you're referring to? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1584576 Confirmed to work with CM10?
Couldn't get it to play nice with Win8. Ran in "compatibility mode" with the same result.

That is it but I can't confirm it works with cm10(most likely won't). You have a couple options without rooting. Grab the latest Odin tar from team wins site and use twrp or flash Braways version and download the latest flashable zip of either cwm or twrp and update your recovery. If you want to keep trying with what you have, maybe use a different cable or usb port and see if that makes a difference. Good luck
Edit: Also try running Odin as admin if you haven't already

So, just so I'm reading this correctly, I could use ODIN to push TWRP, then from there use TWRP to install the CyanogenMod zip file? CM is CWM (at least it was on my Cappy) based so the CM built-in CWM would overwrite TWRP anyways upon installation, correct?
Thank you for all your help thus far!

Thanks! One last question, (okay, two.) Is it beneficial to copy the stock ROM backup to a computer, I will be doing a factory reset post-backup, but pre-CM flash would the backup be gone when I factory reset?
No. The backup will be on either internal or external storage(you're choice). As long as you don't format the internal or external storage, everything will still be there. That being said it really cant hurt to copy the backup to your pc before flashing and is probably a good idea. As a matter of fact most users keep a copy of their storage either on pc or cloud....just in case
my first dumb question.
just rooted my att gnote with cwr. i did a kies backup first then titanium backup after. I want to flash black star X but I don't want to loose my app settings or personal files eg. pics vids etc. my son would be upset if he has to restart angry birds from beginning.

First go into recovery (CWM or TWRP) and make a nandroid back up of your stock rooted rom.
Make sure to wipedavilk, cache, data, and system. Flash your rom (gapps of needed).Restore all your apps. Once restored (from the play store is best) then use titanium backup. Restore data to angry birds.
Your pics and vids should be fine on your sd card as long as you do not wipe the external (assuming that's the one they are on) card.
If you use a launcher like Nova ... Even your desk top can be backed up and restored.

my TBU is located on phone memory /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup will factory wipe destroy it? do I need to move to ex sdcard first?
It should not but it doesn't hurt to make a copy and through it on the external for safe keeping
Just a note .... you are doing the reset in your recovery ... not in settings.

Do some reading so you have an idea in your head what you are doing.
Read about rooting and flashing.
Once you look it over and familiarize yourself with the process .. Come back with any questions. At this point do you even know if you are rooted ... And what that means?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 25A few apps will pull the background image from the framework-res.apk in the drawable-nodpi folder(settings, tibu, etc.). Contacts background is pulled from its own nodpi folder. Touchwiz is a different animal, but similar in how it pulls the bg image. You'll find that most apps have their own bg image. And please....correct me if I'm wrong as well.
