[Q] About Downgrade from 4.4 (CM11) to 4.1.2 - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

If I wanna downgrade to 4.1.2, must I need some particular version of CWM before flash it by odin?

Hello,
You can use any recovery as it will be overwritten by odin once you try to flash firmware.
But in my case i was unable to revert back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2. After flashing 4.1.2 all i can see is "Samsung Galaxy Grand i9082" thats all.
Have to reboot by holding down Volume up + Home + Power button.
I can reboot into recovery (Stock recovery) in this case because Philz recovery was overwritten. but from there all i see is dead droid with "!" mark and nothing can be done from there.
So for now it is not possible to revert back to 4.1.2. If you managed to do so please help me also. 4.2.2 is terrible
Thanks!

I had reverted back to 4.1.2 successfully even after the latest update..
Try a couple of times flashing the 4.1.2. Since the recovery got overwritten flashing is going on.. But might be incomplete. Try again..

Thank you for your reply.
I have had tried it for 3 or 4 times now. 3 times i ended up in the boot loop and for 1 time i was stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Grand i9082".
Could you briefly list the steps to downgrade to 4.1.2. I have Nand backup of my stock rom is that of any use?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks again for your help.
EDIT: It worked. Again i was in bootloop but this time I went back to stock recovery and "wipe/factory rest" then "wiped cache" and yeeeey it worked. Thanks made for the motivation
Thanks!

Need help guys. im a previous note 2 user with sprint. now i have a note for at&t and i rooted it with autoroot. everything went fine. i was trying to install custom recovery i tried goomanager but the site was down. then i tried cwm via odin but when i boot in recovery all i got was a scrolling galaxy note 2 screen then blank screen. then i tried twrp using odin again now im stucked at the SAMSUNG SCREEN!! i can get to download mode. can anyone point me where i can boot this phone even to stock rom?. this is my work phone and i am in deep sh*t. i was on 4.1.2 with l317ucam3a firmware.
thank you
flash stock rom via odin
if you can get into recovery, do a factory reset, and reboot, and it should come up for you; you may just want to do a battery pull first and see if that does it

[Q] stock/no root phone won't boot, only DL mode works

Hello,
My unrooted At&T galaxy s3 will not go past the Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen. When I enter recovery it just gives me a dead android guy.
I had this problem before and to fix it, I used odin to flash the stock 4.0.4, then I flashed 4.1.1 (I think these are the correct versions, I followed instructions here), then my phone wouldn't OTA update to touchwiz 4.3 so I flashed it using recovery mode using instructions and files I found here. The phone worked fine for a few weeks after that, but then started to reboot randomly and delete apps. Eventually it just stopped working all together which is where I am now.
I tried to install TWRP using odin which odin says worked but when I try to go to recovery mode I still just see the dead android guy. The phone did not have USB debugging mode turned on so I am not sure if I could install a custom recovery at all.
I tried the CF-auto root that I found here which got partway through and then failed.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Is there a stock touchwiz 4.3 rom that I could flash using odin??
Thank you very much, please let me know if you require any more information, I really want to get my phone working again.

It almost sounds like you're dealing with a situation I'm having on my galaxy tab. It has the internal SD chip going bad. I had to use a rom specially made to boot from a partitioned external sd card. Sorry, I can't help more, but the symptoms seem similar.

Try flashing the TWRP again with Odin, but make sure the auto reboot option on the left is unchecked in Odin. After flashing, unplug the phone and then hold volume up + menu + power buttons at the same time until it reboots.

I just tried it with only F. Reset Time checked, it installs it and says a green Pass!. I then unplugged it, tried to hold volume up + menu + power buttons for a while but nothing happened. I pulled the battery and then did volume up + menu + power buttons and went straight back to dead android guy. Any ideas?
Only other thing right now is to make sure you have the latest odin, which is 3.09

No there's no Odin flash-able there.
Sorry, we don't seem to have any answers for your problem. It seems like it may be more of a hardware issue than software.

Yes it did, the first time that this started happening. But I was unable to do that again, I thought since I flashed all the way to 4.3 and I read that once you go to 4.3 you can't go back. Is that correct?
Thank you for your help. I was hoping to try an odin flashable touchwiz 4.3 but I can't seem to find one.
So you had 4.04 on your phone and you used OTA updates to get to 4.3? If this is correct, then you can't flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM because it has never been made available to the public; therefore, the only 4.3 ROMs that may work are based on the leaked AT&T 4.3 ROM or compiled from an OTA update.
Once of these ROMs may get your phone going again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233

Did you try installing Philz Touch from Odin? As was suggested earlier, don't use auto reboot. Once Philz has been installed and you see Reset in the window, disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, wipe and flash a custom ROM. This may help you get your phone working for now.

Nope, USB debugging will not make a difference.
The latest Philz Touch is based on the latest CWM. After your flash Philz, are you letting the phone auto reboot on its own after flashing in Odin?
I know of no way to convert a custom ROM so it can be flashed in Odin.

[Q] CWM black can't flash cusrom :( help!

just a random thought,have you done all the wipes correctly? like internal sd card,dalvik and cache and when in philz there's another option to "wipe to install new rom"?
And philz does ask that phone is not rooted do you want to fix it,click on NO
You said you are 4.3 stock ROM,have you rooted it correctly,using dr ketan's tool?

1.Yup, All wipes done including the wipe in philz that says wipe to install new rom
2. I tried that too, still got either boot loop or stuck at samsung logo. I also tried the YES option to fix, but still stuck, or boot loop :/
3. What do you mean by that? Yes I think I did since i have alot of apps that needs root and it runs smooth (TitaniumBackup, LuckyPatcher, BusBox, etc.)

Let me know if flashing one of the NON aroma ROMS works out for you,if you are interested in NON touch wiz ROMS then AOSB rom is good as well,runs off 4.4.2 ,i use it from time to time when i get bored of TW so i keep going back and forth between TW and aosb. Good luck
Err I got the same problem. Only happens on stock roms. Thankfully AOSP roms work but I'd like to use the S-Pen features. Tried like everything, even lost my Titanium Backups accidentally :crying:
Just another thought, why don't you try and flash one of the prerooted stock ROMs which are Knox free. Also they don't have Aroma. Flash using Philz 5.15.0. Hope you succeed. If it boots up succesfully, you can try other ROMs as well. And always do a MD5 checksum before installing just to be double sure what we are installing is not corrupted. Wishing you success!

Hey guys! I did what you guys said but NOTHING INSTALLED! :/ I always get a Fail or Error. Tried Flashing 2 different non-aroma roms, 1 was succesful other one had a failure/error while flashing. But still... both had me on Bootloop and Stuck Samsung logo.
I also check md5 before i flash something. About the MD5... I notice something everytime I flash, I get this "checking md5 : md5 not found : skipping md5 checking" something like that? then the error will start from there, then it wont flash the rom. :/
That's strange. I rooted after installing official 4.3 OTA and never had any problem installing a custom ROM. Using Root explorer check in system/app if you have any Knox bits remaining. Maybe it can be the reason why ROMs aren't installing on your phone. Even I have the ML3 bootloader. Also when you're stuck on Samsung Logo after flashing ROM wait for 10 mins or so and then long press the poeer button which will lead you to the Recovery mode. There again wipe cache and dalvik and reboot and select no when prompted something about lost root.

Give the ROM sometime to boot, usually takes around 5-10 mins. If the setup screen doesn't show up then long press the power button which will take you to recovery. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.

Also I've noticed upon installing different ROMs, after the Samsung GT-7100 logo the LED lights up first and then stays on for a long time, then you get the menu and back keys lighting up, this only happens when the ROM is succesfully flashed. I've just noticed this while trying out different ROMs, may not be true on every phone. So when I notice this I just let the phone boot up and wait for the Setup screen to show up.

Yes I know that problem. Your system files are corrupted.
Search at sammobile for the latest rom of your country and flash it with odin 3.09.
After that you can root it , flash cwm and majeca backup.

Here is my sad little story!
I started out when i tried DN4 for my Note 2. it worked like a charm. This is way back in 2015 or something. And after a while i saw new ROMS popping up and decided to try them. Followed all the instructions like wipes resets, post installation wipes for cache and so on...then KABOOM goes my Baseband and IMEI. After a lot of man hour on reading and digging posts i found that the patched MJ9 could fix my "emergency calls only" problem. But didn't work on any other ROMS except for stock firmware and DN4. ever since I have been trying to get any other ROM work on my note 2 and i Cant seem to fix it. Always the Baseband vanishes and IMEI goes null. Any thoughts on the same guys?
Do you think there is hope for my little guy?

I have the same screen now... I wasn't on stock and I was sitting comfortably with the MDL bootloader and while trying to get Insane KitKat working, I must have done something wrong and now Kies can't restore it either and I'm on the MK2 bootloader or something.... I have a Knox counter now........

You can flash Philz Recovery to get rid of the "Kies Recovery" screen. I have the same exact problem, and I can't solve it so far. Been trying to fix it for the past 7 hours.

Edit:
I fixed it! Once you flash Philz Recovery, factory wipe the phone, and delete dalvik cache. Once that is done, flash the ROM you wanted to install through Philz Recovery, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo will load up (with the error on top left) then the rom will load up right after. I hope this works!

I've had NB4 for a while now, none of that changed. I have data just fine but the phone app freezes for a really long time and then reboots the phone. Plus the whole phone is insanely slow now. Aaaannnnd now I have a knox counter and am sad I might just try to sell this to someone on XDA who might think they can bring it back to life. It turns on, it has data just fine and a fast signal but the phone is so slow it can't keep up...
