If you want note3 features, I recommend dr. Ketan ROM.
you can't brick your phone, unless otherwise you did not follow the guide correctly.

Yes, you will be able to flash TWRP with Odin after getting root. Exactly the same procedure as rooting (read Chainfire's instructions), only instead of CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t.tar.md5 file used for rooting, you will need to grab recovery.tar.md5 from the TWRP's thread.
Thanks !

Hi,
As long as they are custom rom you can jump back and forth no problem , custom rom do not have bootloaders ( stock roms do) , you just have to BACKUP first ( Nandroid , EFS) full wipe and install

Good luck
Hey, guys.
I was just installing Gennxt kitkat cusrom for my grand 2.
And, I was forgot that you need 4.4.2 stock rom to flash it and I was flashing
it on 4.3 stock. After installing, my phone reboots and when it's going to show the bootanimation,
it was just black screen with vibration then reboots again.
Is my Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7102 is bricked?
Please! I need to fix this problem!

Are you able to go to download mode? If yes, you can reflash 4.3 using odin after downloading it from sammobile or you can initialize firmware using kies. I would suggest you to try kies to be safe side.
Although i am not sure whether it's going to work or not. If you can explain your situation a bit better, some one will definitely help [emoji4]
Yep u r bricked !

Yes right but it would be better to help him. That's the whole purpose of posting the question. Isn't it so?? [emoji5]
Yep it is but u have already given him the solution !
Um anyway try Re flashing the custom rom and if it doesn't work then try flashing the stock Rom through odin
If not both then there is this post ! How to u n brick your SM-G710
Here is the LInk :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/how-to-unbrick-sm-g7102-t2824576
Here is how u do it with Odin :
First of all, on your computer download Odin.
Download the Android firmware package.
And install the Galaxy Grand 2 drivers on the computer – you can use Samsung KIES in that matter.
Unzip Odin and install the program on your computer.
Unzip the firmware file on the same folder as Odin.
Run Odin on your PC.
Turn off your device and enter download mode.
Connect your devices by plugging in the USB cord.
From Odin (if the added message is being displayed and if the ID:COM section is turned yellow or blue – else try to reinstall the drivers on your computer and then repeat the steps from above) select “PA” and pick the firmware file.
Don’t make any other changes on the program; select “start”.
The process will be over when the “pass” message will be displayed and when the ID:COM section will turn green – you can safely unplug the USB cord and reboot your phone.

I already doing that and flash back to 4.3 rom and it's still bricked.
So I decided to send my Galaxy Grand 2 to Samsung Service Center and they say the parts inside
my grand 2 is broken, So they replace the parts inside my grand 2 and replace it with new parts.
And all was fixed
(Sorry for my bad english, cuz I'm Indonesian and Samsung didn't notice that I already voided my guarranty by rooting it )
The problem was fixed.
Alright, so the problem fixed by replacing the parts inside of my Grand 2 and everything was back to normal. :victory:
Now it's time to update my Grand 2 to kitkat!
(Again, sorry for my bad english, cuz I'm Indonesian kid.)
No Problem, Blame Balliboxer and his ****ty Faulty CusROMS!

According to Samsung Technician Slip, the problem was the bootanimation logo was hang and the acc files were gone.
So, the technician replaces the PBA part with the new one and install stock rom 4.3 JB (The most updated one.)
But there was no signs of Kitkat update for my Grand 2, But everything was back to normal
All I can do now is blame the creator of the Gennxt Kitkat Cusrom (a.k.a. Balliboxer).
(P.S for Balliboxer, Please stop making ****ty ROM that cracked from the S5, Note 3 or, whatever! Just stop making ****ing CusROMS! It bricks!)
Don't Blame Devs
Don't blame the developers. It was you who chose to install the custom ROM and f***ed your device with your stupidity level over 9000! Kindly try to read the instructions and act accordingly. Better, avoid doing things you don't understand.

@balliboxer is doing great job and his gennxt rom is great. I used it.
Bricking your device is completely your fault as you have flashed gennxt rom made for 4.4.2 over 4.3 android.
I would suggest to make an apology and most important is to mind your language.
Frustration
Um this is probably the reason why i ask people not to root ! bcuz if u root ur mobile for sure someday u will brick it trying to do something !
And i dont think ur Grand 2 was broken .... i think he has tricked u for money ! Flashing through odin wud have solved the problem ! bcuz flashing a custom rom or bootlooping wudnt effect any part of the android !
OMG?
Man, that kid is really weird. Why that kid would like to install a cusrom from 4.3 jb? He was supposed to be flashing it from 4.4.2 kitkat.
What a n00b.
Oh and one question, Did somebody here knows how to root grand 2 from odin or recovery? (I think from recovery rooting is safer than
rooting it on odin.)
A custom recovery is needed to root.

Actually, a custom recovery is needed to flash supersu i.e to root your device (at least for the time being). Flashing a custom recovery via odin alone does not grant you elevated permissions of a super user.

Try using Kies. Hopefully, it can update your firmware to latest KK. Otherwise, download H3 from sammobile firmware page and flash it through Odin.

I mean, at the word Can Samsung means, Can Samsung Technician update my Grand 2 to KK?
I think Samsung Indonesian have released the KK Grand 2 Update, my sis grand 2 already updated.
When I was going to update it via OTA update, it says your software has been recent and no need to update.
