Hey guys I wanna try a verizon 4.2 rom. The thing is that im currently running a 4.3 rom. I didnt upgrade to 4.3 thru the OTA, I just flashed a 4.3 rom so I have the old bootloader that came with 4.2 so my question is can I still flash a 4.2 rom even tho im on 4.3 but with the old bootloader or am I stuck with jb 4.3? Also, if for some reason I dont get any data since its a verizon rom(im on tmobile regardless of my signature), would an apn restore give me data back? Thank you guys in advance

You should be rooted #1
No just use Odin to go back to stock 4.1.2 Rom. Or if you have a custom recovery installed.
Then you can just flash it in there! And you should be good to go.
BUT REMEMBER MAKE A BACKUP!!!!
And why would want an update from the carrier when there plenty of stock 4.1.2 Rom's here??
And they don't have all the crappy blot ware that AT&T puts on the phone either!

Wife's Rogers S3 I747M recently updated to 4.3 and causing her all sorts of problems.
I'm now looking at installing a stable 4.1.2 custom ROM. I'm reading about how once your'e on 4.3 bootloader, there's no going back to 4.1.2. So does that mean I can only flash 4.3 ROMs from now on?
Any help is appreciated. (I can't find a straight answer searching).
Thanks.
That is the deal, no backtracking, what problems are you having on 4.3?

Stock 4.3 OTA update. Now there are major WIFI issues. Random disconnects and no connects. Also RAM gets filled up pretty outrageously fast for no apparent reason.
Okay this is what I did to fix mine, download the 4.3 rom from SamMobile, I would first do factory reset, sometimes that fixes things, if not flash with Odin 1.85 that's what fixed mine

Hey, been trying to update my phone but most of the developers say don't use their bootloader and modem if we're from Canada, just wonder which ones are the right one. I'm with Bell and i can't get my Wi-Fi working
Thanks
Look in the srx thread. They have a kernel to fix that, cheers

Are you currently running a 4.3 rom with a 4.3 bootloader? If you are, don't try to flash any ROM that tries to downgrade your bootloader.
You can flash a stock firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-I747M&pcode=BMC#firmware
Did you ever have your wifi working?
I have a note 2 I am running 4.4.2 Probam and love it. I just bought another note 2 for my wife and its 4.1.2. I plan on rooting but probably no custom ROMs. Just debloating on my own. Should I update to 4.3 or stay at where I am?
I have never updated my bootloader and use 4.3 touchwiz ROMs fine with devil kernel. What's my best move from some expertise experience. Not a nooby but not a developer. Thanks

It honestly depends on ur plans for that phone. If u never plan on rooting it I would definitely update to 4.3 using the ota. But that's just a personal opinion. If ur planning on rooting I wouldn't update to 4.3 using the ATT ota. If u update to ota 4.3 anytime u use odin it will trip the Knox counter. And then chance for a warranty replacement if u need it is slim to none. If ur planning on rooting there a a few really solid TW 4.3 roms out there with no worries about Knox.

4.1.2 is solid. Since it's your wife's phone, personal experience allows me to say leave it be. Lord help me if Candy Crush doesn't work.....
But you have an option.
A time saver to get to 4.3 and rooted on your current bootloader would be this.,,

AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock ODIN Note 2
It's already rooted, all you have to do is debloat with Titanium BU or whatever.
From the thread -----> If you *are not* running Official 4.3 (MK6) or newer bootloader: After flashing one of the firmware packages above (the Stock ODIN) flash the bootloader package below in Odin to get wifi working (sorry, no option available for CWM/TWRP). I've included the Odin executable just after if needed.
Bootloader needs to be flashed only once. See post #2 for information on how to check what version of bootloader you have installed.
This is what you will flash:
AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)
This bootloader will not trip Knox.
Thanks. Not worried about warranties. I rooted it at 4.1.2. I'd I update OTA to 4.3 am I still able to put a custom recovery on it? Kinda confused if the 4.3 update locks the bootloader and lastly wasn't the at&t s4 bootloader able to be unlocked when it first came out? Soon after a OTA broke the root. If so then why wouldn't a brand new one out of box be able to have bootloader unlocked just as the phones come with the same firmware version and not updated until bought. Just wondering.

Check this here, it should answer your questions.
I am not too sure about the S4.
I recently got a refurbished Note 2 that came with the 4.3 firmware (my original note 2 broke), MK6 booloader. According to this link, If your phone is running the MK6 bootloader, It is not possible AS OF NOW to revert to the previous bootloader MJ4. You can put CWM recovery and custom roms on your 4.3 build but I don't think they are too stable as of now. I have not tried it yet.
I have at&t note 2 and never updated to 4.3 like I said before but when I flashed a 4.3 tw ROM WiFi wouldnt work like you said. Instead of doing the Odin bootloader thing I just flashed the devel kernel and everything went good. WiFi works flawless. Devil kernel works on toichwiz and aosp. My question is would it be better to do that and leave the bootloader alone?

The note 2 I got last Friday is 4.1.2. The only reason I didn't get the note 3 is this whole bootloader crap. T-Mobile is really starting to look good from here

To not confuse. I have had my note 2. Just got my wife the other one. I don't think I am going to update it at all. Just to make sure I rooted hers with framaroot and stopped any ota 4.3 from slipping by.

One last question. Not sure if we already touched this or not. On your at&t 4.3 note 2 can you put a custom recovery cwm?

How did you flash the devils kernel ? ODIN ?
And the answer is yes you can.
I can get data on 4.3 touchwiz roms, and used to on 4.4.2 touchwiz roms. Now I accidently flashed a rom I ported dn3 v5, but flashed wrong zip as I accidently flashed the n7100 complete with n7100 modem and kernel. On 4.3 roms tw I get data but every time I try a 4.4 2 tw rom no data. My bootloader is mk6 so knox is triggered and my apn is also correct. How can my phone be messed up for only 4.4.2 roms but not 4.3 roms?

Well hopefully your port is just for personal use. Don't release it.
Next I would just odin to stock and just start fresh man. That way everything will be back Q10 percent.

It was just for fun but I am way out of practice in porting n7100 roms over. Last time I released a rom was when I had a mytouch 4G. I think it might have been a flashing error, because all roms were on external SD card downloaded ezkat and now network works again.
