This is not my work. I'm simply trying to spread the information in how I rooted my Note 3. Follow the link and give credit where due. Have fun with your new phone.

In order to put a custom rom on your phone you have to download a custom recovery onto your device. I used CW but it did not work properly with the rom I chose so I switched over to the TeamWin Recovery.
