Well, if you don't think something installed correctly, you can always run Casual again.
If you need help with posting a pic, here is how you can do it:

Here is photo. I hope.

Ok, I run casual again.
When finished at menu, what do I do?
If I try to install Liquid Smooth, I end up in a boot loop.
Should CWM be installed at that time?

 

[Mikestony]

o.k...I see you still have the stock recovery....(I'll fix your pic in a minute for you)
Anyways, don't worry about flashing a rom yet,....let's get you sorted with a recovery first.

Does casual ask you to install that recovery?
Sorry, it's been quite a while since I rooted my wife's Note 2

 

[dlw1146]

Just ran casual, at menu screen now.
I did 'Swipe to unlock'.
What do I do.

Am I mistaken... I thought casual installed the recovery.

Swipe it baby

Edit: by the way, I just watched the video on the Casual thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066

I didn't see anything about swiping to unlock...but the video is a couple months older than the thread update itself, so it may have changed slightly...

 

[dlw1146]

Ok, I swiped it.
It just come back again after several moments.
I think I should do something after swiping.
the menu comes back up

 

[Mikestony]

I just saw your edit
Casual should install the recovery.
Are you using the one linked above in my post?

 

[dlw1146]

No, this one.

I don't know where that one is from?
Tell you what, I'm not familiar with that version (r532b)
What website did that come from? It appears to be a newer one than the one posted on XDA.
Perhaps read thru the instructions on XDA and use the one posted on XDA.
Personally, other than AF, I trust downloads from XDA.


Edit: I saw your last post...you have TWRP recovery!!!!!! That's nice!!!!!

 

[Mikestony]

o.k....so you have a custom recovery installed.
That "swipe to unlock" just means to unlock the screen to use the recovery...that's all.

 

[dlw1146]

Ok, took a chance.
Rebooted phone;
Powered up using 'Volume +, Home and Power';
TWRP came up;
Tapped install;
Tapped Liquid Smooth;
It installed, rebooted into loopdy loo again.
Crap!

Ideas????

 

[Mikestony]

o.k...make sure that rom is for your device and carrier.
Before the flash, make a backup via recovery.
Do a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, then flash the rom.
Reboot.

If the instructions on the download site are different on how to flash that rom, follow those instead, but basically, that is how to flash the rom.

Also make sure you check the md5 of the download and make sure it matches what is posted on the download site. If the numbers match, then the file is intact and not corrupt.

If you need more info on how to check the md5, see this:

I've got to go for the night...if you need more help, I'll be checking in tomorrow to see how you are doing, unless someone else chimes in

If you need immediate help, hit me up with a p.m. and I'll do my best to assist

Welcome to the world of rooting. Now that your rooted you will never want to go back (unless you have too that is).

And a big thanks to Mike for hanging in with you.
