1: to find your version check settings/about phone/ baseband version. You will see the end of the string is MJB, or MJ2....etc
Official = MJB Leak = MJ2
2: Yes
3:See here. If you are on the leak, this is where you will find all your answers.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233
If you are on stock, you can still flash ROMs, just be absolutely sure that they do not contain bootloaders. See third post here as reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558311

step 1 will give him his modem info and not his bootloader.
He should install Root Checker by Free Android Tools from Google Play. That will show the bootloader

You dont have a custom recovery installed as well, then?
How did you unlock the bootloader? (May seem like a pointless question, depending on the op's answer.)
What radio/baseband version do you have installed?

JZO54K radio is XXLF1. JRO03C was XXLA2, if i recall it correctly. Explains why no issues were found when upgrading to JRO03C.
JOP40C radio is XXLH1.

I think your baseband should be XXLF1. XXLA2 was an ICS baseband.
XXLA2:
- Standard European baseband
- Originally from the yakju ICL53F factory image and the OTA update (to 4.0.4 / IMM76D from ICL53F)

Sorry...but I still don't understand why i would need to do the manual "return to stock" again...
since my baseband is XXLA2...does that mean OTA 4.2 installtion will never work...till the baseband is updated? If i do follow the steps for return to stock manual update again (which to me is very painful since i m a n00b) ...will the baseband be updated again...?? what happens when 4.2.1 has to be upgraded...followed next yr by 4.3 or 5 (key lime pie)?
are there easy steps to just update the base band??
(pardon my questions...i m learning the hard way not to buy google devices from eBay)

IF the radio is the only issue you can fastboot flash the xxlf1 radio. You will need to follow the first few steps in bk201doesntexist's link to set up the fastboot drivers & DL the platform-tools necessary to flash your device. That post will also serve as agood example of how the fastboot utility works.

[Q] Is there an official US 4.2.2 firmware available for N5110?

No offense to the folks running good versions of the UK 4.2.2 firmware, but since the U.S. version is out does anyone have that available to install on a a rooted but stock N5110 wifi note 8?
www androidcentral com/android-422-now-available-wifi-galaxy-note-8-kies-and-ota
I don't want the UK version (nothing against UK), but I can't seem to find the US one on the forums. Can someone link me if it is available? If not, just confirm that it isn't available yet and I'll just have to unroot and re-root.
Thanks
US stock firmware 4.2.2 is not available.

My US GT-N5110 Note 8.0 was updated to 4.2.2 through the setup menu last week. I found a couple issues with it. I would rather to stay with 4.1.2.
not sure why you can't just upgrade to the US 4.2.2 via Kies and then just root it? I can see if you were asking for a deoxed zipalign stock version, but since you didn't mention anything of that... just unroot and turn your 4.1.2 back to stock, and load up Kies and upgrade to 4.2.2 then root it.

no. it is available....where did you guys come up that it is not?
First I was talking about a version to get that was downloadable on my own not via ota or kies.
I rooted but i am not running custom rom or recovery... Kept everything else stock.
And I can't unroot and update via ota because I get message about my device being modified still after I use voodoo rootkeeper. Anyway I am at a loss on how to update now anyway and I really don't want to use a custom rom. .
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app
I have 2 Note 8.0s (GT-N5110). One is running CM10.2 and the other WAS running that CivZ ROM; now it's running stock 4.2.2 with root. I go back and forth between original ROM with these 2 units. Just using Kies going back to stock. and they are US version of 4.2.2

it is at http://www.sammobile.com/, go search your device number...make sure you download the right version. If you have N5110 US WiFi, you should be downloading "N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_XAR.zip", unzip it, when you unzip, you should end up N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5, and then use odin to flash it...remember, this is stock firmware, so if you device rooted, you will loose...

[Q] Need Help! Trying to return 4.3 modded back to stock.

Hello,
I am having many issues and bugs like copy and pasting not working, not being able to text pictures or post pictures to fb, with my Galaxy S3. It is running a custom "Stock mod" rom. I want to re-install everything back to completely STOCK and start fresh like the day i got it... however i cant seem to find a way to do this with 4.3. Can someone please guide me in the right direction to getting either an extremely stable samsung stock themed rom or just the official Samsung 4.3 or higher rom. I just want my phone to function normally again. So sick of bugs and glitches.
Below are the stats for my phone:
Custom bootloader: TWRP v2.6.3.1
Model: AT&T SGH-I747
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Kernel: 3.0.31-2024954

Thanks in advance for anyhelp you guys can provide. Ive been beating my head against the wall trying to find a normal rom. Thanks!
Cheers!

I'm trying to figure out the same thing so I'm going to bump this thread and see if anyone has answers.
AT&T never released 4.3 as a complete ROM, only as an update from a previous ROM so I'm not sure if you can return completely to stock 4.3.

That is as close to an Odin restore you can get. It is a stock rom stock recovery no root it is exactly how it was released to our phones.

Will knox interfere if i want to re-root? Also what would be the best way to root once installing this and going back to stock 4.3?

An actual downgrade will brick your device with no known fix....if you can find a custom ROM based on 4.1.2 then go for it...but pure stock is a no no

Well, my reasoning behind the 4.1.1 is that I am wanting to change my MSL and tutorials state that LJ7 is needed with LG2 Radio as well. Do you know how to change MSL to 00000 from current?

At first sight I would say you have a knox enabled bootloader so you can't downgrade any more, so check your bootloader version with Samsung Info app, available in play store. Only with bootloader MJ5 or under you can revert.
