It seems like your microSD card is not working properly then...
What I did was to plug the microSD card from different device (Samsung S7), and moved all the files,
AND THEN started the job from note 2.
Hope this helps!
Use your external micro SD Card for installation.
You don't need to paste ZIP files onto your internal phone from the beginning...Gapp and ZIP files must be stored in microSD Card first.
I know because i made same mistakes and installed same thing multiple times until i figured it out.
If you see AICP logo, you are 99% there.
Did you install Gapp?
the reason is because you swiped after reset.
you should not install any rooting after flashing.
flashing -> reboot WITHOUT rooting option
you shall be fine

Just installed this to my Verizon Note 2 SCH-i605.
Running very stable and fast. Definitely better than any ROMS out there.
God bless you!
