Requirements

The following applies for the Note Edge running Android 4.4.X KitKat. Since it comes with KitKat out of the box and still hasn’t had the Android 5.0 Lollipop update arriving over the air, we cannot guarantee this guide works in future for those of you who are running Lollipop software and reading this post.

Before We begin

• Enable USB Debugging mode from the developer options menu. The developer options is hidden in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean nut not KitKat or Lollipop.
• Make sure you have the Samsung USB Drivers
• Backup the data to the internal SD card or the external SD card. The internal SD card will suffice because if the data is wiped, only the ROM is wiped. The data stored on the internal memory stays.
• You must have a Windows PC to use the guide because the Odin application is made for Windows only.
