I dont think so....
As when you downgrade by flahing some other 4.2 rom via cwm, u'll most probably get stuck on a bootloop..
I recommend flashing full firmware from odin.

@darpan1041
To make the backup work, Follow these steps:
1)Open your backup folder.
2)Go to the nandroid.md5 and open it using any text editor on your phone.
3)Delete all the lines from starting to the end.
4)Now save and close the file.
5)Now try restoring your backup using CWM!
Voila, now your backup will work.It worked for me.
This happened to me a few months ago and I followed someone's guide and my backup worked!!!
Tell me if there is any problem.

Did you change the name of the folder after taking the backup???

To make that backup work do not to add spaces and/or special characters. If you have added spaces and/or any special characters, the backup will not work thereafter,no matter how much you try to fix it.
It is not necessary to flash old CWM to restore the backup of 4.2.2.
If you hav not changed the folder name of the backup and still get the md5 error, then you should follow the editing and deleting steps.

DXKK4 Stock ROM
I have a Nandroid backup of DXKK4 Stock ROM (Asia) , Don't worry you will not encounter SD Card issues with this one . This one acts just like DXKL2 but this is a earlier firmware. Want my DXKK4 Nandroid backup ? just PM me if you want so i can provide it to you . Plus this Stock ROM supports firmware upgrading , Since i used this for upgrading to DXLA1 Stock ROM but since DXLA1 Stock ROM surprised me with SD Card issues after 2-3 days so last April i finally gave up this ROM because of SD Card issues and downgraded to DKKK4 Factory firmware of my phone when bought.

N7100 does not boot past start up screen

Hi All,
Couple days ago I tried to flash my note2 with mobile odin back to stock rom but something went wrong and since I have not been able to get past the welcome screen *Samsung Galaxy Note 2*. I can get into a recovery screen but I am unable to choose a new rom to flash with.
I ve tried to flash it with odin 3.07 and via kies but no joy.
At this stage I am quite desperate to get this resolved. Can anyone help me?
Download correct stock rom to pc. Mount SD Card in recovery. Transfer file. flash from recovery.

make a nandroid bake up as soon as you root your phone next time.

Unfortunately I do not have that option. I only have volume up to continue or volume down to restart. When I go volume up the phone goes into download mode.
Yeah. Then you have to flash stock firmware.

True but i had to use Odin and every guideline said the filed had to color yellow while for me it stayed blue but i figured heck at the moment it's just a paperweight so I don't have a lot to loose.
Now Rooting it again and placing my nandroid back up back and I am all sorted.
Thank you again!

I had the same problem and almost had a heart attack thinking I bricked my phone when downgrading back to 4.1.1... Needless to say I just had to do a factory reset in recovery and it worked fine

Make a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvic cache, open Odin 3.04, connect the phone in download mode, browse the chhotu file to pda, flash the file it will take 5 to 10seconds...the odin shows the status passed... That's all you will get Cwm recovery..

Something you are doing wrong.. I was the first who root android 4.2.2. without asking anyone.. I made success onthat.. First you do factory reset.. Wipe cache and dalvic cache.. Flash the whole firmware again.. Then flash cwm recovery...

Hello Friends,
I had tried root my phone from that link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t= I don't have unlimited internet data for downloading stock firmware from sammobile.com. but should I skip step 1 then should i follow steps 2 and 3 only? Earlier I have updated two offical firmwares via OTA on my phone and I tried flashed cwm recovery. Now I faced the problem that cant boot into cwm recovery instead of android stock recovery. Should I try step 2& 3 on that link? Binary counter increased to 3 counts...

after update to 4.3 can't register to network. IMEI isn't corrupt

Hey guys.
My international N7100 after flashing stock rom (4.3) with odin can't register to network. IMEI isn't corrupted - still shows correct one after pushing *#06#
Please help.
Did you ever backup your efs? If not, look for a folder named 'efs' through any root explorer. Not the one you are already having under /efs.
It could be under somewhere of the sdcard. Sometimes during flashing an auto efs backed up. If you found that folder, delete entire contents of the root efs folder and paste contents of the other efs. Have a look now.

SuperSU says that I have to make manual re-root, should I just ignore it?
Did you root before? Which cwm you are using? If your device was rooted before you flash4.3 then prob is with the efs. Install philz recovery 5.15 then from custom restore, restore the efs from your backup.
That's all.
