Hello,
Thank you in advance who ever reply to this.
Problem is i updated my device to 4.2.2 recently with odin. Before doing that I made a (nand) backup of my 4.1.2 stock rom.
As most people having problems with 4.2.2. my phones heats up and battery draining quickly 3 hours and its 10% which is very bad.
When I try to restore 4.1.2 nand , My phone gets stuck on "Samgung Galaxy grand i9082" logo and nothing happens. I restored 4.2.2 backup and its working fine.
I assume its kernal problem. Can i restore kernal to 4.1.2 with odin? I do have stock firmware downloaded already.
Thank you!

Nope, 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 kernel arent't compatible.
Means i am stuck with 4.2.2 forever

Thank you for your reply.
It means that there is no way to go back to 4.1.2
I was thinking if i could:
1. Flash 4.1.2 stock firmware which will return me 4.1.2 stock kernal. (with odin).:fingers-crossed:
2. Once i am on 4.1.2 kernal i restore my nand and get back to my stock rooted rom.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
I tried it and end up in boot loop. I have no idea of which firmware my phone had. because i purchased it online and was shipped from Hong Kong. Manufactured in veitnam . I tried Veitnam firmware , Malaysian and now i will try india, pakistan, KSA respectively. This thread is not that active.
Anyone whos reading if you have any suggestions please try to help me.

I was on UCAMH3. I couldn't find the stock rom of that version. Is that ok if I downgrade my phone to ALJ2?
I can also confirm I have restored back to 4.1.2 from 4.3 and make backups without issues
Hope good recovery

I plan to flash custom rom due to Note 3 features.
I am worried about backup and restore issue.
I hope that you can solve the problem.
I attempted to flash a 4.4.2 rom yesterday but it couldnt and it gave me a status 7 error. I looked it up and people said that you have to update clockworkmod. Well i tried to through terminal but it couldn't. It said something like could not find directory. So if anyone has any idea what I can do pleast tell me.

If you can't flash a KK ROM, you may need to update your bootloader. If you're not on a 4.3 bootloader, try and avoid it for now.

im on a 4.3 rom but if i get error status 7 again ill just restore my backup and avoid it...is there a 4.3 bootloader? Also i was about to wipe it but its asking me wipe data/factory reset or clean to install a new ROM. I suggest its the 2nd one but if i do it and it doesnt work can i still restore my backup?

There is a 4.3 bootloader that would be installed if you ran an OTA update to 4.3 or you manually installed the 4.3 bootloader.
Did you make your backup using Philz? If not, make the backup using Philz, then wipe and install.

Doesn't really matter but it's good to know that you need to stay away from any attempts to downgrade the bootloader.

You can't restore to a completely stock ROM not that you have a 4.3 bootloader. AT&T never released a full 4.3 stock ROM, only an update to 4.3 from an earlier stock ROM.
If you did not have a 4.3 bootloader, you could install any stock AT&T ROM such as 4.1.1. Being able to restore to stock 4.1.1 would also allow you to sim unlock your phone for free, if necessary.

well im on rogers and its the same as att. i still have the original samsung touchwiz 4.1 rom just incase anything happens.
Your original post said you have an sgh-i747 which is an AT&T model. If you have a Rogers s3, it's an sgh-i747m.
Regardless of which model you have, you can't downgrade from any 4.3 bootloader which means you can't completely revert back to 4.1.1. The best you could do would be to run 4.1.1 on a 4.3 bootloader.

I prefer Validus version 4.3 because it includes Nova Launcher and it has a dark UI theme.
but thats 4.3. i wanna be on 4.4 and im installing nova and making it the way i had it before.
wait a second is it a 4.4 rom?

It is a 4.4.2-based rom. The release is version 4.3.
hmm interesting...you do recommend it? what great features does it come with?
I like it because it's a very stripped-down ROM, has a dark UI, and is AOSP-based.
It's not radically different from other ROMs but has exactly what I want. I run the same ROM on a Nexus 4 and Motorola Atrix HD.
Today i flashed CM 11 with CWM and after rebooting the baseband and IMEI were gone. I tried to flash the baseband but nothing happened. I then tried to flash the stock rom touchwiz through ODIN and it failed. Now the phone reboots asking to connect to KIES and do a recovery which i can't perform.
Any clues about?
Thank you in advance,

Thanks for the prompt reply. The Rom I flashed is the 4.4.2 snapshot.
In the meantime i flashed this pit file from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137008
and now the CYM is back and working but still no baseband.
Is there any way i can reinstall the stock rom ? is the partition a problem?
I dont have a backup of the EFS folder (I made it once but i cant find it)
EDIT: CWM is installed and working
is your IMEI Same..?
i assume there are several reasons, it can be a simple fix by installing a stock 4.4 KK which will eliminate the problem you are facing, iin past week, i done alot of experiences on my bricked note 2, specially the failed PIT flashed, i tried couple of them but at the end the only thing turned the phone in right direction was stock KITKAT
you can find that in the the post i posted earlier.
i am 100% sure you will get your phone back to life.
also remember to when you are done flashing go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache. It is needed after re-partiton to form the partitions correctly
edit: best keep a nand of your current rom as well
4.4.2

Exactly. Flashing the official stock rom based on kitkat 4.4.2 (which has been released few days ago I believe) solved the problem. I'll try to flash CM tomorrow (tonight get.cm is not reachable and can't download the android app).

Just wanted to ask you something. I installed the Nordic version of the latest Android update which is at the moment the only one available and I have the impression that the voice quality is not that good. I was wondering if this may depend on the baseband version installed on this one. I'm from Italy and kitkat 4.4 is still not available in my country. Flashing a different baseband may change the situation? If so, Is there a baseband more compatible with this touchwiz version and the Italian telco providers?
Thank you again,
Davide

Hi guys, i have a very strange problem with my Note 2 when trying to upgrade from Hurricane 4.3 to Phantom 4.4.2. or Dr Ketan Custom ROMV8 4.4.2.
No matter if i use TWRP latest or Phils latest recovery it just stop at Samsung logo.
I have tried with both Mj5 and Nd3 bootloader, both compatible with 4.4.2 and i do all the wiping needed before i flash.
Md5 is checked on all files.
I have tried this atleast 10 times but always ending up with nandroid back to Hurricane.

In that case flash 4.4.2 stock rom , root it and then flash custom rom.

Just to be precise: Flash stock rom 4.4.2 as suggested and afterwards a custom recovery, both using Odin, no need to root. Then you can flash any rom you like :good:

Yes you can.Only the modem version might be different so you might have to change that if you you experience slow data speeds and weak signal.But France has ND3 modem which i am using in India and no issues with network or data speeds so you should be okay too.

I need to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2 stock because I'm experimenting with Samsung's DriveLink app, which does not work on Cyanogenmod 10.1, 10.2, 11.0 or 12.1. It's reported to work on stock 4.2 but not on 4.4.
I don't know for sure what OS came with my phone, but I believe it's 4.2. I made a backup of this right before I flashed Cyanogenmod the first time, but I can't get it to work through Odin. I get SW REV CHECK FAIL: FUSED 2 > BINARY 1
A downgrade must be possible. I went from Cyanogenmod 12.1 to 10.1 and successfully re-flashed the stock 4.4. Just 4.2 doesn't work. How do I do this?
Here's the rom I was trying to flash: oh, I guess no links.

This is probably due to the bootloader version. The only firmware 4.2.2 that will work with the latest bootloader is the latest Brazil 4.2.2. Are you using the model i9195 LTE model?

That brazil firmware has latest knox bootloader. The same one found with kitkat roms. So you can only flash that jellybean firmware.
You cannot flash old bootloader as you will get the error you mentioned earlier. Samsung used some protocol that prevents writing older
version onto knox. Thats how it is.
I flashed the I9195UBUBNE2 but I can't get passed the boot animation. It's possible my phone shipped with Kitkat. Any ideas?

Did you try factory reset ? Remove and reinsert battery. Enter recovery mode using 3 button combo, it should be stock samsung recovery.
Choose factory reset/wipe data options. Once it is done choose reboot. It should boot up just fine.

Did this to me. Pulling the battery and wiping data/cache worked for me and it booted.
That was probably the case. I cleared the cache, reset the data, and re-flashed the ROM and it works beautifully. Great find with the Brazilian ROM, thanks!
