Hello!
I was wondering if its possible to downgrade back to 4.2.1 from 4.3. In download mode, I see that they have added Knox to the bootloader. Every time I try to flash the 4.2.1 .md5.tar file via Odin. Its says: Unsupported Version.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Try and download different file make sure all properties match ur device configuration download from sammobile is recomended

dont do anything more
as far i can see, and you witnesed first hand, the knox stuff remains logged there and you cat do anything about it....i suggest stop trying to downgrade before smth bad happens (knock on wood).....and just wait for a 4.3 custom rom, that comes with its own files to download and flash
I have a similar question that probably no one asked before, as I couldn't find any similar thread.
I have a back up rom of rooted 4.1.2 stock rom, which back up by Philz Touch.
Once I flashed 4.3 custom rom, is it safe to restore my 4.1.2 rooted stock rom backup from the 4.3 custom rom? Another question is, once I flashed any 4.3 custom rom, can I flash 4.1.2 custom roms from after that without any problem?
To make things clear, I will never go back original, unrooted 4.1.2 stock rom or try to flash a original unrooted 4.3 stock rom.
I sincerely hope someone can explain to me, because I dare not to try to flash any 4.3 custom rom until now.
Thank you very much!

In my knowledge, yes. Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything you're not sure of. But yes, you can as long as u restore your backup with the same recovery u backed up in.

You are correct, you would need to use ODIN to flash the ROM.

So I flashed the file posted and I made my phone boot loop at the Samsung logo for 8 hours now, Any ideas?
I did have the "4.1.2" OTA Update installed before and I did have it rooted and Followed a unroot Procedure on XDA. I was trying to get ahold of the OTA Odin file so that I could return because I think When I used that odin file posted, It flashed a lower version radio then I had Previously and Coming from HTC I know That it would brick the device....

I am interested in getting all the apps into multi window. The FAQ linked me to this thread. The first instruction is to odin into LJC, which I think is the stock ROM. I still have the same ROM which came with my phone, but I have rooted using the Note II toolkit. I see LK8 and LJC on the forums all the time, but I don't understand the differences and why I have to use certain ones for certain things. I found this thread which did not explain much. Basically, I don't know what ROM I have. The end goal of the first thread I linked is to get the LK8 ROM on my phone. Is that basically a stock ROM?
Notes:
Android V 4.1.2
U can find out by going to settings, about phone and look at your build number. That is what rom u are on. The phone shipped with lj1 and then the ota was ljc and the most recent ota is ma7. Lk8 was just a leak. If u want all the apps in multi windows mod u have to be on a deodexed rom. If you are completely stock then u are not and cannot flash tje mod until you are.
Best thing for u to do is flash tje deodexed rom on this page

Never mind. Now I can finally flash roms.
Thank you very much for your help. I've found that I'm on MA7. There are 6 different downloads. I understand the difference in the first two downloads–
odexed vs deadened. But what are the other four downloads? Is there one most appropriate for me?

The third link is the all in one that is the ma7 modem and other components of ma7. The 4 link is just the modem itself and the last 2 are kernels. If u took the ota to ma7 then no u don't need any of the modem or other components. If u want the all apps for multi windows u will have to flash the second link that is the ma7 deodexed rom. U have to be on a deodexed rom for the mod to work. Let me know if u have any more questions

I read I do not need to do a factory reset through TWRP (wipe->factory reset) if I am flashing a customized stock ROM. Is that true?
And if everything needs to be completely stock, do I need to un-root?

Hi, as the title said, my question is what is the latest firmware on the Note currently if I purchased now. Is it 4.3 with locked bootloader like the Galaxy s3 with Knox? If it's, is it possible to flash custom firmware? Thanks.
Yes it has 4.3. It has Knox bootloader as well if that matters. There is TWRP recovery, custom kernel by Bid Droid, custom ROM by Scotts ROM called Clean ROM V2 R2.

Thanks for quick reply, I thought that if it came with locked bootloader then how can we unlock? like the S3, we unable to unlock we need to use safestrap to install custom rom, is it the same case as the Note? sounds like it's not.

It's still not clear, I thought MK1 (4.3) has a locked bootloader, and no one could unlock the bootloader yet, so how can we able to flash custom rom??
I shall do my best to clarify of what I know. I have the note 10.1 2014 sm-p600, wifi only. I'm located in the US. I had android 4.3 on it. I had used Kies to update to MK1 since I had already tripped Knox and don't care. Even prior to MK1, I used Odin'd Cf - auto root, and Odin'd TWRP custom Recovery. For a long time there were nobody developing anything for the tablet. SCOTTS clean ROM undertook the task and made a custom ROM with stock kernel. Then as time progressed Bid Droid entered with a custom kernel. He also made his own rom, but I'm not sure if that is for P601 or p605 models. I refer you to the note 10.1 2014 android development thread for more detailed info. Scott was able to incorporate ML1 firmware into his ROM. Yes ML1, think it was Taiwan, wasn't released in the US but I see no problems as far as country specific or anything on a wifi only tablet. He knows what he is doing as a proven developer. If none of what I am saying makes any sense, I would advise you to look deeper in Note 10.1 2014 android develop thread. I hope this may have helped clarify. I tried to anyways.

Hi, I have a 4.2.2 Rooted Stock Rom running on my T-Mobile S4 at the moment (been rooted since June and never upgraded to any ROMS since root was still fairly new to the phone back then), and I was looking at all these ROMS and I want to upgrade to Wicked, Avatar, or XTREMEPERIA S4 ROM...BUT I'm pretty sure I need to do something before I do that. I already have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.2 installed, and I read in one of the ROM threads that I need to install a MK2 modem or something? I'm lost and I don't want to ruin my phone :/ I already backed everything up using MyBackup Pro, and using ClockworkMod.
Here's some information about my phone that will hopefully be helpful:
Baseband version: M919UVUAMDL
Kernel version: 3.4.0-440244
Build number: JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL
Please help, I really want to use the awesome ROMS I listed above.
Thanks in advance.
If you follow these instructions:

your modem would be upgraded to mk2 which works well with 4.3 roms like Wicked v10.

I think you will need to root it and such install a custom recovery so that you can flash that older version. Check this thread for rooting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Make sure you actually read the instructions. Not reading everything fully means bricking your device. As for getting your MSL... Here's an app that might work, if it doesn't watch the YouTube video and see if that helps.
