If you flash the official Samsung 4.3 Jellybean MK2 odin flash firmware you cannot go
back to the stock 4.2.2 Jellybean MDL firmware whether you root your phone or not.
Rooting the 4.3 official jellybean odin flash firmware will trip the knox counter unless
you do a lot of reading and find the alternative rooting methods here in xda.
Good luck!

If you are already on TW either 4.1.1 or 4.3 then just ODIN back the 4.3 update.

You can only Odin 4.3 on an I747M if you're on AT&T with an I747 there is no .tar.md5 yet thus no Odin and there is no flashing backwards. If you try to overwrite the bootloaders with an older version you get a hard brick. When you try to flash an older firmware let's say 4.0.1 for example it will contain bootloaders, a kernel, a rom and a modem and it will hard brick the phone.
The thread you linked is for a 4.3 leak and runs mj2 bootloaders which is older than his current version of MJB. Also the thread you linked doesn't have any odin flashable files in it. Those are .Zip files flashable through a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM.
This could have been really bad for someone if they even tried what you linked. Locally it takes 2-4 days and $50.00 to get a phone Jtag'ed.

Is it possible to install 4.1.2 custom rom on a note2 which has official 4.3?
Bump.... Any one tried this?
That's what I'm wondering too! It's what's keeping me from updating bootloader/rom right now
Bump.. bump? Anyone running a custom 4.1.2 rom on 4.3 bootloaders?

Why? Did you already flash a 4.3 rom? Just restore a nandroid.
No it is updated officially to 4.3, so has the new bootloader.
So can't reverse the bootloader, but the question is can I install 4.1.2 based rom now?
All I did. Was odin the rooted stock 4.1.2 put on cwm and flashed rom

I was going to say just use Odin to return to stock JB. I found that advice in a thread about this for at&t, but later on the thread a Canadian user said it worked for him.

Hello!
I have the tmobile note 2. When I updated to 4.3 last year, I rooted my phone and VOIDED my Samsung Knox void thing. I really don't understand what this means so I haven't attempted to go back to 4.3. I have tried once before to OTA up to 4.3 from 4.1.2 but because my device was "modified", it does not allow me. I am currently on 4.4.2 Omnirom.
Is there any way I can upgrade to 4.3? Can I just find a 4.3 tar file and just upgrade to 4.3 using odin but wouldn't that fail due to the Samsung Knox Void?
Thank you in advance.
If you want your phone to be rooted just flash mrrobinsons 4.3 stock ROM.
There won't be any issues or interruptions by KNOX.

My phone is stock rooted but not on Mr Robinson's. Performance wise it should be same or better than stock ROM since it's the stock ROM.

Are you saying the MrRobinson's ROM isn't rooted ? Did you try the version 2 he posted ? I know that the first one had some issues.
If you are on 4.1.2 and only use PC odin for flashing then you can flash this stock rooted, knox-free ROM I uploaded here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636552
This ROM will not update your bootloader and you can switch back to 4.1.2 using PC odin.

But, Can I flash anhoter Rom?
If I downgrade via Odin, with stock firmware, android 4.1.2. Can I?
Because I would like to flash some cm Rom.
Your phone is already on 4.3 bootloader and there is no way to downgrade that.
But you can still flash any 4.1.2 ROM'S as long as you do not flash the bootloader. Almost all custom ROM's come without bootloader so you should be able to flash them via CWM,TWRP or mobile din.

It would be better to go back to full stock and then root thereafter. There is a modified (pre-rooted) stock 4.3 rom but this comes with the modified MJ2 bootloader so flashing it could cause a brick. You could flash simultaneously with the 4.3 (MJB) bootloader & modem to avoid the brick but the process gets complicated.
You may go to the thread below for full stock 4.3 restore instructions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Once you are done with this, there are several ways to root. CF-Auto Root is the most basic. If this doesn't work, you could try Option 2 in the thread below ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
My preferred method of rooting is, however, SafeRoot. Unlike other methods, this doesn't trip your warranty bit - if this is still relevant. You can see download links and instructions in the thread below....
