How To Flash JellyNote ROM For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 [TUTORIAL]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has not been given a lot of attention in the homebrew community since its release. There aren’t many threads on this device in popular forum networks. Nevertheless, XDA Developers’ member darkthug420 has come up with a ROM named “JellyNote”.

The ROM is in its Beta stage and is made using the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. This ROM marks the first attempt made to give this tablet an overhaul. The number of pre-installed apps have been reduced, which frees up space, and TouchWiz has been replaced with GO Launcher HD. JellyNote has been deodexed, Zipaligned, rooted, and BusyBox’d to make things more enjoyable.

This guide shows you how to flash the JellyNote ROM to the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 or GT-N8013. This ROM is also compatible with the Wi-Fi only variant of the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013. It may not work on other variants apart from the ones we listed.

ClockworkMod Recovery should be installed on the device prior to following this tutorial. The battery should also be properly charged to avoid any shutdown or low power issues, and a backup should be created for all the important files present on the device. iJailbreak won’t take responsibility if anything goes wrong, so you follow this guide at your own risk.
