Need help Flashing Custom ROM to Note 5 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I'm not new to the forums as I usually follow posts instead of posting. But I've had my Note 5 for quite some time now and I want to flash a Custom ROM onto it. I haven't flashed a ROM since I owned my Note 2. I have it successfully rooted just wanted to know if there is a guide that I can read up in cause flashing now seems a little more difficult. As I tried flashing one before and it didn't work. Any help or guidance to a walkthrough would be greatly appreciated Thanks

[Q] should i do it?

first of all hello to everyone, I am new to this site.
i came across this site since i have been searching for ROM developments to my phone.
i see this is a very comprehensive site with ALOT of information and i dont even know where to begin.
So i hope someone nice here will answer a few questions
First of all, is it worth upgrading to another ROM (one of these sticky threads ROM)
I've been looking at the Artemis but again im not sure what to choose.
Also no idea how to upgrade it and if anything goes wrong is it possible to backup the original ROM?
I like to upgrade since im not very fond of the original ROM, also a bit slow from time to time.
I am not a computer noob just very new to this. Hope someone will help or point me in the right direction.
hi there.
I whole heartedly recommend flashing a custom rom to your phone. I only flashed my first rom earlier this year. there are plenty of tutorials here on xda. this really is a great community.
search in the threads for MSkip's guide to flashing your first HD2 rom. Just always remember to read instructions thoroughly.
Roms are down to personal taste but I personally like the Energy series.
good luck.
I was afraid to, but now I'm glad I did (flashed like 5 times now, till found the ROM for me) Just remember to read all the ROM info and instructions carefully and for the love of God, have the proper Radio version for the ROM OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK IT!

New phone and need a little assistance.

This is my first android phone. Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. I plan on rooting my phone tomorrow and I was wanting to put 2.2 firmware on the phone. I have been told that there are different roms and such and I was hoping someone here could tell me which is the best way to go about upgrading my phone. I tried reading some threads but I am not sure which is the best way to go. Any help would be appreciated.
If you've never rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM before... Read, read, read these forums and especially the thread for the ROM you are thinking of installing. Know how to get yourself out of a jam before you even get in it.

+1...This is what I followed when I flashed my wifes vibrant awhile back, and followed again just a few days ago when I picked mine up.
As for 2.2 ROMs...you will just have to play with them. I would recommend starting with flashable ROMs as they are a little easier to work with if you do not have a lot of experience with flashing
I might suggest this one if you want a no frills basic 2.2 stable, rooted ROM to work with

Thread cleaned. Stop the flaming.
Thanks for the replies! I will start off with that nice guide on how to root the phone. I get the phone tomorrow so hopefully I will not be in here crying about how I ruined my phone. The last phone I modded was the first gen iPhone a few years back. There are so many different things to read that this is a little confusing. I mostly created this thread to get pointed to what works best for those on this forum.

Question about flashing roms?

Hi ive tried to do alot of research as to how to flash roms and so im not getting a clear image from anyone thats posting things. Again im new to galaxy s2 got it bout 2 days ago and id like to be a flash junkie again from my x10 thaats how i was what i want to find out from anyone that can assist me and explain step by step how to flash roms on my device. my sgs2 is from bell and its kg2 with 2.3.3 and i see on forums of 2.3.5. so id like to know if im able to flash any roms on my phone and how to flash and things it doesn't seem straight foward as how xperia x10 was lol sorry for being a noob. once i get my answers go ahead mods or admins to closing my thread. thank you
You can check out this thread for a step by step guide for installing 2.3.5. You can also find all the firmware's leaked/official that you can flash here. The only thing I would advice is for you to read up as much as you can and familiarize yourself with Odin, if you are not already. Also when flashing roms it's safest if you don't include the .pit file. If you ever want to flash back to the stock bell rom, you can find it here. Good luck and happy flashing

[Q] Can someone teach me everything i need to root my galaxy s2 i9100g?

hello everyone, i really need help in rooting and flashing custom roms in my galaxy s2 i9100g. the problem is that i cant find proper custom roms for my phone. i am capable of rooting my phone, its just a matter of finding the insecure kernel and flashing it then using superoneclick and then flashing the original kernel back in. but what would i benefit if i cant install custom roms. by the way. to install roms i need clockworkmod recovery right? please some1 help me i really want to do this and experience the full power of android
Thanks in advance =)
What you would benefit if you can't install custom roms? I you can't root your device with those guides that is here I suggest you to not root. You will probably end up bricking your phone.
And btw, searching google for it shows even more sites with guides..did you put any effort at all in trying to find out yourself or are you just lazy?

Cool story bro,...changed my life forever
Seems to me you already know how to root? Now are you asking for custom ROM for i9100g?
You can try CM first.

And I found you posted in the wrong forum. The following forum is for i9100g. Go dig there is better.
