4.....General questions:
5.....for v3.2 (Jelly Bean):
Please check your bootloader version!!!!!
If you didn't update the bootloader since Android 4.1.2 flash MJ5 bootloader or newer --> ND3 is latest available bootloader - find download link below.
If you alreadey updated it or flashed any 4.3/4.4 rom via OTA or flashed a realy stock 4.3/4.4 rom from sammobile or so (with MK9, ML4 or above bootloader) you are fine
With bootloader versions below MJ5 you maybe will run into issues like reboots, fc's (fc...force close) and maybe wifi wont work.
To check wich bootloader you are currently using, use an info app like android system info and look for build infos.
MJ5 BL: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b...00XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
For flashing BL its recommended to use odin on a PC!!! Flashing BL with CWM may brick your device!!! Please refere to this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52278651&postcount=24217 and thx to @dr.ketan
v5.2 is using Aroma installer. So read every step carefully and make your choice! If you didn't like your chosen options, just reflash rom and make another selection!
v5.5 and DN4 are a standalone flashable zip's (no aroma)
1. Recovery: look for latest TWRP find link below and download for example: "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-t03g.zip" for flashing from recovery or img.tar for odin for N7100 international --> install it
2. put rom to your external SD (all downloadlinks on OP or below in this FAQ)
3. be sure that MD5 checksums are correct
4. boot into TWRP (use latest version and find it below) and do a full backup
5. go to wipe and click on "format Data" (be sure you have a backup as all data will be ereased) and confirm with yes
6. Click on Advanced Wipe and select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and swipe to wipe
7. go to main menu, select install and install rom from external SD
8. reboot to system and after it booted up wait for a few minutes
9. reboot to recovery and flash bug fixes if available --> see sections below for further information's
10. wipe dalvik cache and cache and reboot to system
11. configure your DN3 rom
Now you are fine to use rom
On Philz touch you have to do a little bit differnt:
1: Flash PhilZ recovery
v6.26. or higher - find link below
2. put rom and fixes if available to your external SD (all downloadlinks on OP or below in this FAQ)
3. be sure that MD5 checksums are correct
4: Reboot to Philz recovery and do a full backup
5:
Format Internal SDCard (in mounts and storage) and do Factory reset (I will install a new ROM option in PhilZ)
7: install rom
do steps 8-11 from above

Here are links to latest Philz and TWRP recovery: OP recommends TWRP
Downloads:
TWRP (2.6.3.2 and higher (2.7.0.2 and higher is recommended)): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938733
--> direct download:

Philz (6.26. and higher is recommended): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103
--> --> direct download:
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100
Only by using philz 6.19 don't forget on flashing rom (go to install zip) touch 'Do not allow old update_binaries (X)'. It will turn from (X) to ().
- - > versions below 6.19 won't work for DN3 v4 RC
ND3 Bootloader + ND3 Modem + ND1 Modem
Heere is a link to a collection of ND3 Bootloader + Modem and ND1 Modem. ND3 Bootloader will solve charging issue on Kitkat (phone will start when its off and power cord is plugged in) and modems are for those who have wifi issues or bad signals. Try out which modem is the best for you.
Installing ND3 bootloader (KitKat) is irreversible and will trigger knox warrenty bit! Be sure you will understand this!!!!!
Please note this is only for Kitkat versions of DN3 rom!!!! (v4 and up (v4,v5,..) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52573647&postcount=26400

1.....FAQ for actual rom DN4 v1.0:
Full wipe (format internal SD) is mandatory!!! This rom is based on (ported from) a S3 4.4.4 leak - so format internal storage is a must if you would like to use this rom!!!!!
