Flash LineageOS ROM Nougat 7.1.1 on Galaxy Note 1 (GT-N7000)

Before Starting

Take care of following tasks before you proceed with flashing custom ROM:

Task 1: Install USB drivers for your device on your PC.

Task 2: Be sure to backup your data including Contacts, SMS / MMS, APN & MMS Settings as well as photos and videos stored on your device’s internal or external storage.

Task 3: Make sure that your device is well charged. Ideally, the battery level should be around 60-80%. The more the better.

Task 4: USB Debugging should be enabled on your device.

Important: Most of the custom ROM will not have Google Apps in them. So, you will have to download and install GApps manually.Also take nandroid backup before installing

Done with preliminary precautionary steps? So, here’s the guide:

Install a Lineage os ROM using TWRP Recovery

1. Download and transfer the Lineage os ROM and Gapps for linage os you wish to flash to your device’s storage.
2. Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
3. Select “Wipe” from TWRP main menu and do a “Swipe to Factory Reset” on the bottom of screen.
   └ Note: This will factory reset your device. If your custom ROM doesn’t require a factory reset, then simply skip this step.
   
4. Go back to TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the Lineage os  ROM .zip file and gapps for lineage os that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
5. After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of screen to begin the custom ROM installation process. This may take some time.
   
6. Once your ROM is successfully flashed, you’ll see “Wipe cache/dalvik” option, select it and then do “Swipe to wipe” on bottom of screen.
7. Once cache & dalvik wipe completes, hit the “Back” button on-screen and then select “Reboot System” button.

Install Lineage rom using CWM Recovery

Step 1: Download the ROM zip file and copy it on root of the SD card of your device. Also copy the GApps zip file, if you want to install Google Apps too.

2. Now select “Backup” to start the nandroid backup process.

After backup is done, navigate back to main recovery screen.

Step 4: Now select “wipe data/factory reset” option. When it asks for confirmation, select “Yes” to confirm data wipe process. Then navigate back to main recovery.

2. Then select “choose zip from sdcard”
3. Now select the zip file that you want to install (the file that you copied onto the SD card)

The custom ROM installation will now begin. Wait for it till its complete.

Note: If you copied any other zip file alongside the ROM file (like GApps zip), repeat the above steps to install that zip file.

Step 6: After installation is complete, navigate back to main recovery screen and select “reboot system now” option to reboot your device.

Your device will now reboot. Please note that first boot may take some time, so be patient and do not interrupt the boot process.
