Hi everyone. I'm having some troubles with a galaxy note 2. I have one but is with the firmware of China with the JB 4.3.
I've being trying to flash with the firmware of europe, JB 4.1 with odin3 but i can't. It always give an error on sboot.bin.
I've downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile.com.
Tried in different computers and differents USB cables.
Also tried to install two differents USB drivers from differents sources.
Weird thing, i cant root my device by flashing by odin.
Can anyone give me an help?
This is my device:
Android Version 4.3
Baseband Version N7100ZCUEMK3

I believe that if it is official 4.3 you cannot downgrade.
Is it a clone?

If it is a clone is very well disguised, and it have the same SoC (CPU, RAM, Internal Memory, etc)
And it is impossoble to downgrade from 4.3?

You can downgrade from 4.3 but you cannot downgrade the bootloader, that will be stuck

Ah the official stock images will have a bootloader bundled in it. So that maybe where its going wrong. If you install a custom recovery and put a custom rom (arhd19 or wanamlite3.9 are both android 412) that might be the easiest but I would only guess that yhey would work with the mk3 bootloader but it would probably burn the efuse voiding warranty.

Can the mk3 bootloader be downgraded? I wss under the impression that once upgraded to a mk bootloader you were stuck with it as theyre not downgradable

Ok Bro. All you need is to install a Firmware supported by your phone.
I had an N7100 with exact downgrade problem and was fixed by checking different Firmwares. you can install another if you like, european firmware maybe not compatible with your phone. DOWNLOAD Firmware which has size more than 1000 MBs.
Head Over to this Link and Download the Firmware with starting words "MSR",
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571281
It will surely work.
I have tried all of these 4.1s but the MSR-N7100XXDMC3-201304291545.zip worked.

That MSR version's size is greater than a 1000MBs which means that it has all the required files, which are needed to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2.
So definitely check it out and share the result with us:highfive:

Not sure but it worked for me. I had the N7100 made in korea version which is an international version. I upgraded to 4.3 chinese version. Then I wanted to downgrade to 4.1.2, I tried the chinese 4.1.2 version and two others. Which encountered some errors in flashing. Then I tried the MSR version which worked just fine.
Everytime I was flashing the 4.1.2 versions other than the MSR it incremented the binary counter by 2.

Hi everyone. Finally i could flash the note 2 :victory: but i still dont get it why i cant flash through odin
This is how i do it.
1. Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery through.
2. Flash the TWRP 2.6 Recovery.zip through CWM Recovery. (Don't know i i cant flash this recovery directly on odin
3. Flash a CyanogenMod Nightly ROM
4. Install Odin Mobile.
5. Flash the lastest official rom by Samsung for Europe.
6.Yeh I have a official rom on my mobile :victory:
Now I have one problem, when i try to make a call i cant hear the people on the other side and vice versa. I know the mic and speaker are working, if o try to make a call through skype it works perfectly!
Obs.On every ROM i have this problem, on Stock ROMs by Samsung, Europe and Chinese Version and also on CyanogenMod.
When i try to flash the European ROM on Odin it fails when try to write the modem.bin.
I can flash the Chinese ROM without any problems on Odin.
I'm using the lastest ROM JB 4.3 from Samsung
What is the problem now?
The MSR firmware zip link no longer exists?
I have Chines SN N7100 and screwed with no Google accout

I had encryption on my phone due to company emails. I flashed bootloader and modem to 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) in order to enjoy the latest custom ROMs.
However, after installing 5-6 of custom ROMs, I am always asked to "enter your PIN or password to encrypt the memory". No matter what I enter, the phone always restarts and goes back to the prompt asking me to enter PIN or password.
I did factory reset and cache/etc. wipes every time I flash. I thought encryption should be erased by those resets/wipes. BTW - I use TWRP as recovery.
What I would like to know, is there a way for me to get a stock 4.3 ROM to install using ODIN? Hopefully that will also install the stock recovery, which may be able to help me really do a clean factory reset/data wipe.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
You can find pre rooted stock rom from herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
hope that helps
BTW, I have tried using ODIN to get back to 4.1.2: I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar file.
However, ODIN is giving "Fail (Auth)" errors. I suppose this is because I have flashed the bootloader and modem to a much higher version and there is no way to go back?

Nope. these I747ATTDLK3 images won't work because once you flash these new 4.3 bootloader (I747UCUEMJB), you cannot go back to early stock ROMs. The only way is to find the 4.3 stock ROMs for ODIN, which is no where to find on the internet.
Here is the error from ODIN when I tried the I747ATTDLK3 image:

I have run KK ROMs with a stock 4.1.2 bootloader with no problems at all. Updating to 4.3 isn't necessary in my opinion.
AT&T never released a stock 4.3 ROM that can be flashed via Odin. AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update.
At this point, you may be better off flashing a custom recovery such as Philz Touch and flash a KK ROM.

Nope. Sorry. Once on 4.3 you cannot downgrade your firmware without hard bricking your device. Using a valid code is the only way now.
You might find one for fairly cheap on ebay.

Best I can say is to search ebay for sim unlock galaxy s3. I dont know of any specific sites. I think a few may have been mentioned in the unlock thread, but you'll probably just have to do a lot of reading to find them. Look for posts with links in them.

If you updated to 4.3 via OTA/Odin/Kies it doesn't matter.. If all you did was flash a 4.3 ROM while still on 4.1.2 or below bootloader its still possible to unlock unless you have a T999L then you are out of luck
And root doesn't matter for this. Should work either way.

I assumed they meant downgrading to unlock but I guess not necessarily.. But yes unlocking by code isn't affected by being rooted
I'm running stock bootloader from launch when I got the phone in 2013. Currently running 4.4.2 updated via Mexican firmware leak back in early spring. I need to update to NF4 bootloader. I keep getting error in Odin when I try to flash NF4. Do I need to be on NF1 before I can flash NF4?

You don't need to be on NF1 or any other baseband version in order to update
to the NF4 baseband.
Here is the direct download link for ODIN in case you need it, this version works
best for me: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Odin85.zip
Be sure you have the latest Samsung USB driver installed which can be found here:
http://tinyurl.com/nlnegmj and be sure to use the original samsung usb cable which
came with your phone for best results.
Good luck!

Yes you DL the wrong file. Im not too familar with Cynogen. So if it did update you to 4.4.4, you need to Odin the Official 4.4.4 Firmware
Cyanogen 4.4.4 won't require you to flash stock 4.4.4 because it does not update firmware If you had official 4.3 firmware when you flashed cm then you need to flash at least 4.3 firmware. That's why you are getting the error, you were trying to flash 4.2.2. You have the option of flashing 4.3 MK2, 4.4.2 NB4, or 4.4.4 NH7. You might as well flash NH7
One other thought: Just because the CM you are running has some bugs, perhaps another ROM would be a better experience than the bloated Samsung stock.
I'm very happy on Dirty Unicorns, but I've been thinking to try a very basic Slimkat or something like that, then theme it with Themer, and add any apps/functions needed.
Maybe something like that would work for you?

Does anybody have the stock rom that i could reflash through odin? When i tried flashing the regular a725f stock rom it would give me an error and i accidentally locked the bootloader as well. I dont mean to be a pain.
You can download the latest firmware for your region with tools like for example Frija or Samloader or from websites like samfw.com.
I dont know the region but i did buy it in the usa though i tried reflashing the stock rom and i got an error

Which version of stock ROM were you using before? Android 13 / OneUI 5 or something older?
Because you're trying to flash ancient Android 11 here, and downgrading to older Android versions is not possible on Samsung phones.

As far as I know the A72 was never "really" sold in the US (at least there is no dedicated firmware for US versions; I might be wrong).
However, in the end even the European or Asian firmwares will work just fine on your phone. It's still the same phone, just different carrier/region-specific apps and features.
I would suggest you flash the latest firmware for a region you choose (anything european should be absolutely fine). I usually download the firmware from samfw.com, they let you directly select between the different regions' firmwares and all.
Feel free to ask if you need any more help.
