Hi,
I am newbie for Android and this could be silly question.
Is possible for me to downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 with original stock rom (international version N7100) and no root?
If possible, could you write down steps that I need to take?
Yes, I did search the forum but it doesn't comes with step by steps?
Reason is battery drain too fast especially at night.
I had the same problem... You must be rooted first to do it...
Download the correct firmware (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/)
Install MobileOdin (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en_
Copy the tar.md5 file to your external sd card
Open Mobile Odin and flash the stock rom. It even has an option to root it without effecting the status. My phone is rooted but it still says official. Then use TriangleAway to reset the counter to 0 and you're good to go.
You dont believe you have to be rooted at all, I did this last night, the way I did it was went into stock recovery, factory reset and wiped cache, rebooted, turned off, booted into download mode, connected to pc, opened odin and flashed stock 4.1.1 simple as. It did get stuck once on samsung logo I left it for about 10-15 mins, went back into recovery and wiped and factory reset again, rebooted and all was good and now Im back on 4.1.1 so far its been off charge for 3 hours or so and its only gone down 1% it would have been around 8-10% on 4.1.2 for me
I wasnt rooted before, was on stock 4.1.1 then upgraded to 4.1.2
Absolutely possible. I just did. Steps are,
1- Make a batch backup with Titanium first, on your 4.1.2 ROM.
2- Flash the stock 4.1.1 ROM via Odin.
3- Root it.
4- Go to recovery and wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
5- Now you've 4.1.1 fresh ROM, install Titanium and restore all missing apps and system data.
6- Now you've a fresh 4.1.1 ROM with all the data and apps.

Jujuburi said absolutely correct, why you need root to simply flash stock rom.
Just to add.
After downgrading as described by jujuburi above, your device still will have new bootloader and that won't downgrade by procedure said above and so you have to re root with cf auto root or one of the CWM recovery, exynose abuse apk won't work.
Downgrading bootloader is needs different method and no need to describe here as it is not recommended/required at all.

The easiest way to do it without a pc or raising your flash counter is to follow my tutorial.

Okay, that mean if I dont root is 100% i cannot downgrade it to 4.1.1?

It's only a temporary root. Once you load the tar.md5 in mobile odin you have the option to keep it rooted or not. Just simply keep the box unchecked and you'll be good to go. If you're not rooted right now root it with cf-autoroot to keep your status as official on 4.1.2 then install mobile odin and finish the steps.

????? Your guide isn't the easiet way at all. The OP didn't say he didn't have access to a pc? And flashing stock roms via odin doesn't raise flash counter afaik?
Also your link to odin is a paid for version which isn't required.
+1
Absolutely right
-No root needed to flash using Odin, neither flashing stock ROM with PC odin raise flash counter.
hi guys
a have the same sleep drain issue with 4.1.2 and going to odin flash 4.1.1 but do i have to wipe data/cache ? and if so do i have to wipe b4 or after the flash ?? thx
It is not compulsory, but in many cases during downgrading, after flashing ROM device may gets bootloop OR stuck at samsung logo. in such caes you need to do it.
But i do prefer wipe always after flashing ROM for better performance, you can do it after flashing.

Hello all,
I have been reading, viewing videos etc for past 4 days. and have asked questions on youtube to people but no one replied now you are my BIG HOPE..
i have an international version unrooted galaxy note 2. I dont have much details about baseband etc as i never jotted them down before upgrading. But i do have details now after upgrading to 4.1.2.
Baseband- N7100XXDLK7
Kernal 3.0.31-679347
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 26 10:26:20 KST 2012
Build Number
JZO54K.N7100XXDLL7
AP: N7100XXDLL7
CP: N7100XXDLK7
CSC: N7100DBTDLL2 (which is germany)
I am downloading N7100XXALJ3 N7100DBTALJ2 from dr.ketans N7100 all in 1 old rom posts of 4.1.1 Oct 2012 as thats what i cuold find for DBT germany firmwares. Is that right one........???????????????????????
like others i upgraded to 4.1.2 and have been facing battery drain problem. first of should i wait till samsung comes up with fix in next update or shuld i revert back to 4.1.1.
I read this post as and it is so confusing-
Battery only lasts 1 day so want to go back to stock firmware 4.1.1 and want flash counter zero and everything legit. one member said root is needed then other said its not. then dr. ketan in the end say just to go back to stock root is not needed and just flash with odin and it wont increase counter as well if flashed with odin pc. is that right that we dont need root to just go back to stock 4.1.1 as he said.?
---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
Now i am confused as i have multiple options suggested by all in this thread--
* If root is not needed should i just download 4.1.1 (enquired about the firmware N7100XXALJ3 N7100DBTALJ2) and flash it with pc odin just like bradmax 57 said and keep it all legit and will i still get OTA samsung kies updates in future..?
OR
* Should i root my phone first using cf-auto root with method given in your N7100 all in 1 forum and then flash 4.1.1 with mobile odin and then remove triangle away once and for all.? if we go this way obviously phone will be have full root access with limitation of not being able to flash zip files from pc (but will be ok with mobile odin for that) and cant use nandroid backup and restore - i am not fussed about these things but want my phone to be legit for warranty and do need future updates OTA and from kies.?
Also do i wipe cache, factory reset from recovery before or after flashing 4.1.1 as bradmax57 had to do it twice before flashing as it was getting stuck at samsung logo but on the other hand dr.ketan suggests to do it after flashing 4.1.1..
Kindly help.
Thanks in advance for your precious time.
Here i giving clear answer and you should not have any confusion.
-No need to have root to flash 4.1.1 with Odin
-after flashing, you may stuck at samsung logo, in that case you have to reboot to recovery and have to wipe cache and data
-I don't recommend to downgrade, as latest 4.1.2 having SDS fix, on 4.1.1 you device can be brick without any reason. if you have battery issue, download latest MA6 ROM , not necessary you will have to flash DBT ROM, you can flash any country ROM and whenever your country get same update, same way you can flash that ROM with Odin.
First off a big big thank you to dr.ketan, mazdamiata and jujuburi who assisted me and cleared confusion. I have down graded to 4.1.1 easily and see a massive battery difference already. All i had to do was download stock firmware for my phone csc region and flash it with odin. wipe data , cache in recovery mode as it did get stuck on samsung logo and its all good. no root needed and flash counter etc remains untouched as well..

So you're saying we can flash a different rom to our phones without it breaking? I find that hard to believe. Why would there be different firmwares then from samsung? I need TTT firmwares, so I could flash any DMA6 firmware since mine isn't available yet?

dr.ketan said csc doesnt matter. if we flash rom of different country. the rom has kernal, csc information. the only thing is we will get ota or kies update of that country whose rom we flash. rest i wouldnt know lets wait for a word from dr. ketan or some one on this

You can flash any ROM of N7100 to your N7100, that is that simple.
I never seen a case of bricking by just flashing stock ROM. just selecting own country ROM will help you for better language support, and some priority/selection of application for your country on play store when you search OR google suggest you. You can flash any country ROM which is latest and still not available for your country.
I'm running a rooted stock I317M with nothing modified except for root. I used mrRobinson's thread h t t p :/ / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 as a guide which worked perfectly to keep everything stock (and thus avoid tripping the flash counter) but gave me root. This morning the Canadian carriers began rolling out the 4.1.2 update OTA which failed a few times on my device so I used (GASP!) Kies to do the update. Not sure if it would have mattered OTA or Kies but I have now lost root. Has anyone managed to inject root into a stock image for the I317m yet? It looks like I could go with a custom AT&T I317 build or ADB in and manually install a custom recovery, root etc. but if possible I'm hoping to keep normal device status and not trip the flash counter.
Are you planning on turning your phone in for warranty anytime soon or do you just like the look of "Official" instead of "Modified" on your About Phone settings?
Exact same thing happened for mine, stock rooted Canadian OTA to 4.1.2 failed repeatedly, Had to use Kies as well and lost root. The main reason I wanted root was to switch off fast dormancy since my Canadian carrier doesn't support it and was killing battery. Good news is it stayed switched off.

Not really. Originally it was just to make sure I'd get the update without issue when it was released. My understanding is that I can always reflash with the stock firmware I have from Sammobile and it will reset the flash counter + set the status back to normal if the need arose but also thought it easier to just unroot, reboot and uninstall SU if possible.

First time I've actually heard of fast dormancy. My battery life has actually been pretty good and that with fairly varied, heavy use. Have to look more into it. I rooted primarily for backing up (TB), remote file sharing and just plain messing around.

Thanks R1K, I looked at that earlier and still might try it after a little more in depth reading if nothing else presents itself. I use the camera fairly extensively and although it looks like the camera is only affected when patching the exploit I have to be a little cautious since I use it for work. Plus the easy unroot/stock return part :good:

One option which is what I did, was to download the 4.1.2 update from sammobile.
I then used mobile odin to flash it which has the ability to protect root.
So now I am stock rooted on latest firmware device status is normal

Doubt this will work.
The whole way this gained root was via the exynos exploit.
This firmware I am pretty sure has patched it.
Exynos abuse says no but voodoo app says yes.
I can confirm the exploit is patched in this new firmware so I suspect this will close any holes used by exynos abuse app to root phone.

Thank you Canadoc. Might be the best bet for me too. I did a TB backup just prior to the update so maybe I'll flash back to 4.1.1 with the root injected ROM in odin and then flash the 4.1.2 update from sammobile from mobile odin. Otherwise looks like it might be a custom i317 build for me. CWM sure sounds nice right now
For those trying to get multiveiw update and are rooted.... it is much much easier ti go get the firmware from sammobile.com then flash it with mobile odin with the ever root option.. all done :thumbup:

Worked as planned... more or less. Had to do a factory reset and flash twice to get 4.1.1 to boot but from there installed mobile odin, extracted and flashed from 4.1.2 (from sammobile and copied to external SD) and good to go. Now, if you want to go stock with root and for whatever reason don't want to/can't use mobile odin, head over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650&page=26 mrRobinson is working on injecting root into the stock builds.

Hi prashant there are a number of ways you can update OTA without losing root but of the easy ones I can only speak personally about one of them - Mobile Odin - which is what I used. It's a paid app but it gives you the option for EverRoot which maintains root across roms and automatically installs itself and SU in the new rom. Hate to ask, but are you sure you flashed the right rom? He has it listed as the new! Bell rom under January. If you flash that with his directions it should work - that being said though I did have to flash it twice myself to get it to work. One flash with odin, stuck on logo, back to regular recovery, wipe cache, download mode and reflash with odin, worked that time around. By that time I had mobile odin and flashed the regular update without root that way but mobile odin kept my root.
If you're looking to retain or regain root after ota, this is the easiest way imo. Just answered it in this thread.

Thanks Froid. SuperSU seemed to work for some folks too if they dropped the dime for the PRO version. I did see some instances where neither worked too though, but not enough details to say why.
all you need to do is just reflash with odin rooted 4.1.1 stock rom then once that is done goto play store and get voodoo ota rootkeeper make backup then temp unroot then get the ota 4.1.2 update when finished goto to ota rootkeeper and restore root works just fine and u keep root.
Hi i am new to rooting and wind up loosing my stock backup, i had to flash a custom rom and used clean rom 2.0 se.
the data is very slow i went form have 20mbps down to 3mbps download speed. i have been doing some research and i think it may have something to do with my basband, apn settings, and so forth. the issue is clean rom blocks any modification to the settings.
if im on the right track im assuming i can flash a newer verion of my basband and possible my basband?
badsband is- LTE 1.4 or 1400
basband version is- I317UCALJ2
any help ill be greatful, i am a power user and paying 130 a month for the lte speed i need it.

You need the UCAMA4 baseband and the associated RIL files as well.
Are you familiar with Odin ??
The best way back to stock and keeping root is to Odin flash the stock rom.
I'll get the thread for you. ..BRB. .g
Edit. ..
Thread is on top. .Just follow the instructions provided and you'll be stock and rooted in no time.
I used this method a few days ago and it was perfect.
The device will be restored to factory software with root so back up anything you wish to keep first.
You will even have the option to go full stock from here with a few more easy steps.
Read carefully and use the appropriate files. ..g

count says 3 on anyway to set that two zero?
Yes...
By using "triangle away" from the play store.
But you would also need a stock recovery to do this, otherwise the counter will stay at 1 until you restore a factory recovery. That is done by flashing CF auto root again to give you the stock recovery.
Honestly, if you are going to stay rooted I would not worry about the counter.
It can easily be set to zero if you need to go stock for a warranty or service....g

Please forgive my newbie questions. Have been searching but couldn't find a straightforward answer:
I'm running stock 4.2.2 rom. The only changes I made were installing CWM recovery and rooting. How do I upgrade to the 4.4.2 without wiping the data? Is there a rooted-nodata-upgrade I can use?
If there is no way to do so: Can I recover to 4.4 from a 4.2 nandroid?
[This happens to be a relatively new phone for me ... but with my earlier phones Titanium etc. always left some settings that I needed to do manually, which is why nandroid would be the best].
Thanks for taking the time to answer. If the answer is already found clearly in some other thread ... please point me to it that will be enough.

You can just Odin flash the update right over what you have now. You don't need to wipe. Everything will be the same after you Odin flash the update but you won't have root or CWM recovery anymore. Once you do this though you will have the Knox bootloader now and if you don't care about warranty don't worry. Otherwise you won't be able to put a custom recovery on without tripping Knox. I'm not sure if you can root 4.4 without tripping Knox either but then again if you don't care about tripping Knox then CF Autoroot works great then install your custom recovery of choice.
Hello,
I am currently using a galaxy S3 i747m which is rooted and unlocked running 4.1.1. I believe I used this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426) in order to do the root.
I want to update my phone to 4.3 while retaining the root (or rerooting afterwards). I've done plenty of research and haven't found a solid guide to help me. Most seem to assume I would be on 4.1.2 or already on a stock 4.3. I don't have a solid amount of confidence with these tasks so I'm too scared to just try and flash a 4.3 ROM without a confirmation that it will work. Kies tells me in can update the phone but I am also worried about that.
What is the best course of action for me? I wouldn't be writing here unless I had already done my research and was still unsure.
Also a side question, I'm not sure how the phone was unlocked (software or code), if it was unlocked via software, will I lose this by updating to 4.3?
Thanks for the help!
The easiest way to upgrade would be to use Odin to flash a pre-rooted ROM. However, you will lose your data and apps.

Thank you for the response! Do you know where I can get a good pre-rooted ROM? Would the 4.3 one in my previous link work? Would the Kies backup be sufficient in restoring my data? Or would I need to use something like Titanium Backup?
Thanks again for all the help!
Upgrading will not re-lock the phone.
You can use one of the pre-rooted 4.3 ROMs you linked. Personally, I stayed away from 4.3 as it will introduce Knox which may cause problems in the future.
I haven't used Kies for anything so I'm not sure how good it will work. Also, it's possible your apps may not work when restored under 4.3.
