How To: Install / Flash MKalter Jelly Bean ROM On Galaxy Note N7000 [TUTORIAL]

It’s been awhile since the release of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. There are many Android devices that have received the update over-the-air, but there are still some waiting in line. There’s no official announcement on when the update will arrive for those said devices, with the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 being one of them.

Owners of this device have to be craving to getting their hands on the update seeing how the Note 2 is coming stocked with the latest firmware. However, they can get the update through the MKalter Jelly Bean ROM. The credit goes to XDA Developers’ member mkalter. The ROM is based on the XXLS2 build.

Here are some pointers: Apply the steps only on the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and not on other Samsung variants or handsets. Charge the battery properly.
