HOW to Flash ROM (must be on ICS Unlocked Bootloader) like "ICS Unlocked Bootloader 0.03.14-MUL"

1. Boot into Newest version of TWRP Recovery (DON'T use other Recoveries)... "TWRP Recovery v2.4.4.0" <- New Recovery Version

2. Make "Backup" of current ROM.

3. Wipe 3x: Cache - Dalvik Cache - Factory Reset - System - { Internal Storage (Optional) - Format Data (Optional) }

*** For Stable ROM with No problems : {WIPE ALL ON #3 = All Internal Data, NOT Ext SDCard) }

4. Flash ROM.

5. Enjoy.

*** TIP: In TWRP Recovery's "BACKUP", you can see what Internal Files are there at anytime. (to see if WIPE worked)

Important : After Reboot, Start "SuperSU" App. It will get New binaries.

IMPORTANT : If you find ANYTHING NOT Working or ANY FC...Then WIPE ALL ON #3, Re-Flash ROM, Re-Test Problem before Posting!
