[Q] Is possible to download from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1?

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

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.

Hi.. i rooted my note 2 n7100 when it had 4.1.2 . Then i flashed dr ketans v3 rom n got 4.3. Really awesome rom . But now when the official 4.3 update came,i restored back to my 4.1.2 backup , i did a full unroot. I flashed stock kernel and stock recovery, reset the counter to 0 . And tried OTA. But did not help. So i flashed official 4.3 firmware by odin . All is good now, but when i go into Settings> More tab> About Device> Status> it shows device status custom. Why so!! Also when i try to search for update(i know there isnt one) it keeps on searching . Will i never get future updates by OTA ?? Plzz help. Even ODIN shows that my device is official!!!

[Q] I9192 stuck on Baseband Version XXUAMF7

I got my S4 Mini I9192 in December, but I can't remember the version it came with. Immediately after getting the phone, I updated to XXUAMF7, and rooted the phone using the tutorial by cheatman, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368561
Everything was fine, but trying to find some info on the possible culprit for the battery standby drain, I found somewhere that it could be a problem with the Russian region UAMF7 rom. So, I downloaded, and installed the Indian DDUAMJ2 rom, rooting using arco68's files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494435, but didn't have wifi, so I then flashed MJNazari's kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431953.
Now everything's fine, wifi works, still don't know about the battery drain, but information in the "About device" worries me.
The build number is fine, JDQ39.I9192DDUAMJ2, but the Baseband version is still showing I9192XXUAMF7 !?
Is this normal, and have I messed something up somewhere?

Can anybody who's upgraded from rooted XXUAMF7 to anything newer tell me what their "About device" says?

Modem did not upgrade
Either flash whole rom AGAIN or only flash modem
This happens when u have "Custom" status in download mode.
U can extract modem from stock MJ2 rom tar and md5 it and reflash it

Thank you very much!
I had tried flashing the entire ROM twice, even did a factory reset, wiping the whole lot of everything I had on the device
BTW, on a technical note, where does that "Custom" status come from? Rootkit? Kernel?

Well, depends
For example if u take a stock rom from sammobile , unpack it and delete bootloader stuff when u`ll flash it status will go "custom" even if u did not modify other stuff
If u flash a custom kernel / recovery status will go custom
If u delete some "bloat" status will become custom
Many things will trigger that status
Good part is , u can come back to official if u flash a stock unmodified rom from sammobile and factory reset your phone after
Take care, sometimes u must flash it twice or more because modem does not get flashed
Btw, u are lucky u still don`t have Knox bootloader do not flash a stock rom from sammobile that ends with MK4 MK5 ML1 ML2 ML4 NA2 etc without modifying and deleting Knox bootloader

Thanks a lot for the info! The Custom status was then probably caused by installing CWM and removing all of Samsung's apps after rooting...

Help 4.4 bootloader downgrade

I made a mistake, I installed the ROM [ ROM] [TouchWiz 4.4.2] *eZKAT*, then flashed with the patch wifi, as it not to work I returned to my previous ROM DN3 v3.2 but since I do not have IMEI anymore.
I have even to flasher with official ROM but anything makes for it, always not of baseband.
Official ROM used:
N7105XXDMB6_N7105XEFDMB3_N7105XXDMB1_HO ME.tar.md5 and N7105XXALJ5
How can't get my imei ?

You made a backup of your EFS.
If you didn't then it will be really hard to restore your own IMEI. You shouldn't try to revert back your bootloader.
Give more info what you did exactly?
Which bootloader have dn3 rom?

For my EFS i have a backup done with TWRP.
My phone: n7105 LTE
when i was DN3 and before flash [ROM][TouchWiz 4.4.2] *eZKAT*, i have 4.1.2 bootloader.
baseband : N7105XXUEMJ9
bootloader : N7105XXDMA5
OK what i do, well first i flashed eZKAT and flash wifi patch (because wifi don't work and after still don't)
Then reboot and see that i lost my IMEI
Then i tryed to flash 4.1.2 rom stock and restore EFS with TWRP, but not work still no IMEI
Finaly i restore my DN3 4.3 v3.2 from TWRP and have
now no baseband
bootloader: N7105XXDMB6
Now i don't no what is my bootloader

There is an app phone info samsung on the play store. Get it and check . here are many threads started by user who tried to restore their IMEI. Try to search in the forum you will find many useful info.
And you have your backup so it should not be so bad. Me I m not rooted stock so I'm not so qualified to guide you. Search the forum.

first of all go to sammobile and get 4.3 stock rom for your region. Then boot into recovery and wipe everything. Then flash the stock rom u downloaded via odin.if you have not flashed the ezkat rom via odin. Then this will solve your problem. Most probably you would have flashed the ezkat rom via recovery so its no big deal as flashimg via recovery does not change your bootloader. So go flash a stock rom 4.3 version via odin.it should silve your problem if it still exist then root your phone(after flashing stock 4.3 rom via odin) then get twrp recovery and try restoring your efs.good lu k

Did u make a titanium backup when you were on dn3 rom. If yes then you can restore your dn3 rom and restore titanium backup( both system and user apps) and if nothing works then probably just flash stock rom dont root it and take it to service center.

Don't burn him too hard, people are sometimes too ready to offer their suggestions, and, well, yes sometimes people are too willing to act before understanding and confirming.
Anyway. IF you've flashed a 4.3+ stock rom in odin, booted to recovery and full wiped and it still doesn't work, then it looks like flashing a stock rom in odin isn't going to cut it. My next step would be google and xda, find what others have done, and not take the first answer without confirmation. Eventually if all else fails I would get the the right pit file and stock rom and flash both in odin with pit and erase all nand checked as well as the normal two, again boot to recovery and full wipe. Anyway, I do not know if that will relieve your issue at all. But from that point I would imagine installing a custom recovery and restoring a known working backup isn't a bad shout, of cause tripping knox as I imagine has already been done.

Exactly my point.

I keep telling him he kinda has 4.3 bootloader from tmobile/at&t and can't downgrade bootloader so try upgrading to 4.4 stock see if that fixes it. Unless his bootloader gets upgrade he'll be stuck with param.bin file in wrong place and no signal

I know but that was the only way I could think of to get baseband back. I'm glad you are up and running and please feel free to ask before you flash something if it is ok for your device.
