Hi All
I just updated to Swiss 4.3 through OTA
But I found GPS unable to find a fix after whole day searching
Now I want to go back to 4.1.2

sure it is still on 4.1.2
so according to sammobile, there is a 4.3 update for my product code since December.
OTA and Kies tells that I have the latest version installed.
im puuure stock...
(sure i know about odin....) but im wondering why it would not update normally?
am i missing something with this device?
thx in advance
Samer
EDIT: Oooops sorry Mod please move it to the right section...
Note 2 sure will satisfy you.
For now don't update yet , read about 4.3 and Knox, later decide if you want to update.

IMHO it is better to root the phone and flash some custom ROM that already has note 3 apps... I.e. DN3, Phoenix or Criskelo. You should also flash MJ5 bootloader from Odin (since it is Knox free)

Those Roms don't require ML3/4, most of them only run with bootloaders MJ5 and up.
Here is an interesting link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596761
My advice: Read, read and again read through posts dealing with root, upgrading bootloader, keep warranty and try to understand more about your device. If you don't understand technical terms, search in Google or just ask! :good:

Thank you all. I've just flashed dn3 and it works very well

[Q] DN3 on my Note 2 ?

Hi,
Sorry for the noob question, I have N7100 international version with the bad bootloader (associated with 4.3). Did some modding but I would like to install DN3 which I downloaded (DN3_v3.2_by_E-Team_(Vegeta_Edition)). Is it possible with that bootloader ? My version number ends with XXUEMK9
No
Need flash new bootloader first

If your bootloader is MK9 then you don't need to upgrade to latest bootloader which is ND3.Only drawback of being on the older bootloader is that you cannot charge your phone by turning it off it will turn back on.If you don't care about this then stick to MK9 if you want to upgrade to ND3 then you can do that after flashing the ROM.Also my advise for you to is to flash DN3 V5.2 it's the latest release and based on KitKat 4.4.2.
DN3 V5.2 scroll all the way to the bottom for the links,there are two versions full and lite only difference is that lite has bloatware removed such as samsung apps and all that full version has all that but while going through aroma set up you can choose what you would like to keep.
nd3 bootloader to be flashed via pc odin using the bootloader tab only after flashing DN3 ROM.
Thanks very much for your help. Noob question number 2 : how to know what my bootloader is ? And number 3 : I thought the bootloader going with 4.3 was locked and couldn't be changed so I feel lost, could you explain this ? Thanks already !!
Hey, did it, it works flawlessly. Thanks for your help I appreciated it.

Sorry I just happened to check your reply on the thread since you didn't quote my post while replying.Glad it worked out for you.To know which bootloader you are on download phone info app for samsung from playstore it will tell you that.Regarding 4.3 bootloader from 4.3 onwards all bootloaders knox and they can only be upgraded not downgraded so if a newer bootloader after ND3 arrives you can upgrade to that but you won't be able to go back to ND3.
Just lost my wifi/bt & wifi hotspot after using dn3 5+ for a several days.. I return back to 4.3 custom rom and stock rom hoping to fix this problem but no luck..

Oh, yeah sorry I'm not used to quoting. I am really happy with this rom except for two things : battery life is a little shorter (didn't install greenify yet), and there this app always stopping when I play music with deezer : soundalive. Changed it for the other FX something I can't remember but now it's OK. Thanks!
