[black1234]

Hi I'm a noob at this.can anyone tell me if I can run this rom through odin? I'm running build 1 using odin was so easy but I don't know what to do or how to do it without using odin that's why I'm still on build 1 any help would be appreciated.maybe video tutorial or something.

All depends on how the ROM developer has it setup to be flashed.

If its a zip file format then its normally meant to be flashed thru a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod or TWRP recoveries.

If the file is in " .tar " format then it is meant to be flashed using Odin.

I would check with the developers page on updating/flashing instructions before moving forward.

Do you if there is tar files out there?

I wouldn't know without looking. I'm going to safely say this update is probably meant to be flashed via custom recovery. Normally Odin is used to initially flash a custom recovery and root the device or to restore back to factory stock from a rooted state. Only other time(s) it is used is to update/flash your radio software or a kernel but even those are flashed via custom recovery 99% of the time.

Its very rare a ROM developer builds their ROMs in tar format to be flashed from Odin.

Word of advice I would really do some reading on what your doing before attempting to play around with Odin or even custom recoveries in the future. You don't want to flash the wrong thing using the wrong method and cause yourself a bricked device. Odin is a very powerful application and if used improperly it can create a brick very easily. Not something I'm sure you want with your fairly new Note 2.

Thanks for the advice. I will read before moving on all I can do is try and hope for the best

It is meant to be flashed in recovery, and Beans is at build 10 now.

Download the ROM onto your phone
Reboot into recovery (power down, power up holding power + vol up + home)
Wipe data/cache
Install ROM from zip
Reboot
Done

You already should have TWRP from unlocking. Reboot into recovery, it should be pretty apparent if it's there or not.

In order to use a custom rom you need to unlock
