The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has been a very popular device and it still is to this day. It is loved not just by consumers but also by developers too and it is getting an update from the Jelly Bean 4.1 that it arrived with to Jelly Bean 4.2.2. However at this moment in time we have no idea when this might happen, or if it could get bypassed for Jelly Bean 4.3. So if you don't want to wait around any longer you can now install Jelly Bean 4.2.2 onto your handset.
Bear in mind that the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM is for the international version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which is the AT&T Galaxy Note 2, Verizon Galaxy Note 2, Sprint Galaxy Note 2 and the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, the device should also be rooted.
Before starting you will need around 70% battery left.
You also have to go into Settings and Application development and ensure that you have enabled USB debugging.
Once you have downloaded the ROM you can go ahead and follow the installation steps below.
1. Install the Samsung USB drivers on your computer.
2. Connect your Galaxy Note 2 to the computer then copy the appropriate custom ROM and the Google Apps package on the SD card of your device.
3. Switch off the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and reboot it into Recovery mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume up + Volume down + Power keys after the device turned off.
4. Create a nAndroid backup for your current ROM which you can restore later if something goes wrong. Select "backup and restore > backup." You can select "restore" if you decided to revert back to your current ROM.
5. In the main menu, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition." After that, go back and select "advanced > wipe Dalvik cache."
6. Go back to the main menu and select "install zip from SD card > choose zip from SD card." Choose the custom ROM zip file you have copied on your Galaxy Note and confirm installation. Do the same with the Google Apps package.
7. Once the installation is complete, go back to the main menu and select "reboot system now."
8. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will reboot and may take up to 5 minutes to complete the first run of the latest ROM.
If all has gone to plan you will now have updated your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to Jelly Bean 4.2.2.
