ChristianPost notes the six points below that must be considered prior to doing the update. It is important to note that this publication will not be held responsible for whatever happens to your phone if you proceed with the update. It’s possible that a mishap in the installation process can cause your phone to brick.

1. The USB Drivers for the Galaxy Note 2 must be installed on the computer to transfer needed files.
2. USB Debugging must be turned off. To disable it, go to Settings, Developer Options, and then tick off the check box beside USB Debugging.
3. Data must be backed up on the computer as installing the firmware wipes the memory of the device.
4. Battery power must be at least 80 percent to prevent any interruptions while installing.
5. The device must be rooted and running the latest CWM or TWRP recovery tools.
6. The Galaxy Note 2 must have the model number N7100 as the ROM only works on those models. To check the model number, go to Settings, About Phone, then view the Model Number.
