  3. Another action that needs to be performed, this time for step number three, is this one: see if the Repartition option is checked or unchecked; if checked, uncheck it yourself and then switch the Galaxy Note 2 off. That will prepare the phone for its rebooting into Download Mode. This kind of action is performed by pressing and holding (at the same time, mind you) the keys for Home, Volume Down and Power.
  4. Now concentrate on the fourth step, which asks you to plug the two devices one to the other and then use the Start key so that the Recovery is installed.

After it does that, the phone will come back to life in new clothes. Celebrate this by bringing a new kind of custom firmware which will make the whole experience sweeter.
