Newbie Help How to install a Custom ROM

Dasin · Apr 15, 2014

I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ATT Branded and i want to get all the mess off the phone.

The phone is already rooted and i have a SD Card.

The ROM i want to install is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2595085 (Dynamic Rom 4.2)

I put the Dynamic file on my SD card, once i scroll to it on the phone, it will not load the rom.

Maybe iam doing something wrong. I need help with this.

Also i would like to know is there a hack that gives you faster into speeds.

Do you have custom recovery installed? Also which os do you have right now?

Khizar · Apr 15, 2014

I am assuming from what you said that you are trying to open the "load" the rom by clicking on it in a file explorer?

That's not how you flash roms. You need to use safestrap recovery to flash roms...

And just to add, as you are in the N9005 forum you can get the wrong information to flash your phone ending with a brick... Yours is the AT&T variant that has different ways of flashing to the international version...
Make sure you find the right forum next time or there might be nasty consequences...

Did u put my thread in the right area, all I did was click Samsung Galaxy note 3 and I put the details so that when someone gives me information, they know that iam referring to the ATT Stock version.

Also I would like there a rom that takes all off the Carriers restrictions, and lets you do what u want.

I have a ATT Data unlimited iPad Sim in the Galaxy Note 3, ATT allows me to tether on it so iam cool with it comes to that, but how about getting faster internet speeds, like a code or a file, that skips the carriers restriction on speed, etc.

Also is there a way I can change the speed that my phone recives from the tower to make that faster etc. Pretty much I rom that gives me full control over my device.

The link u gave me was to the Samsung galaxy note 3 directory, n which I went through in order to post in this area

hey_joe · Apr 17, 2014

The thread where you downloaded the rom has an installation instruction on how to install the rom. It is saying that you need a " working safe strap installation " before you can install the rom properly. Like others are saying, post in that forum as they have the same phone as you and chances are one or more users have experienced the same issue as you. Safe strap is not being used here where you're asking for help.

Flash kk stock first to update bootloader.
Though u r on jackaway custom rom nd twrp, doesn't matter. Just grab latest kk firmware nd flash it through odin with bootloader ticked. U will get on kk boat with stock recovery.
And u need to reroot again.

Urs is N9005. U can go any firmware for N9005. Samfirmware.com
Get it from there. Most custom rom here use nc2 czech. But again... u could get any latest.

Edit- I misread your post. Are you sure your phone is a n9005? If it was, it would say that in download more.
