I have tried to search and find info on this but am lost as to how to accomplish.
I am currently rooted and running the SlimRom 4.4.4 and wish to unroot and arrive at the current stock ATT rom which is 4.4.2 I believe.
I have installed the 4.1 stock rom listed on SamsMobile and it fails when I do this. In searching I think I have read that the problem is with a lated version of the boot loader not being able to go back to older versions on Android.
Is this true and is there any work around?
Thanks much!
Ok flash the 4.1.1 in odin like you did and if it doesnt boot the first time do a factory reset and let it boot for 5 mins if it doesn't still flash this and let me know if it works

Hi everyone I hope this is not a repetition of some old thread (I tried but couldn't find though).
I was using my note 2 (T889) on stock 4.3 which i previously flashed via odine. A couple of days ago i came by this good looking kitkat based rom ( eZKAT v2.0 ) and went on to try it. the rom flashed flawlessly and after flashing my modem i got the signals as well but the wifi was not working. tried using dr. ketans wifi patch but didnt get the wifi to working. Anyhow, I decided to go back to 4.3 via odine. The odine flashing completed successfully but i got stuck on T-mobiles boot screen for hours.
Is there anything called "you cant go back to 4.3 from 4.4.2"? If yes, then whats the way around? I really need to go back to the stock.
Thanks.

I had this problem on my Note also. Downgrading versions of Android requires a data wipe. You will need to reflash your 4.4 ROM then backup your data if you want. Save your backup to your computer then install the 4.3 image.

I already tried that but still the booting stuck on the t-mobile logo. I read somewhere that locked bootloader don't let you downgrade to previous version. Is this true?
In that case. Try finding a 4.3 rom that's close to stock.

The locked bootloader is always in stock firmwares i.e 4.3 for the Note 2 but not in custom roms meaning u can even install Lollipop custom on it & downgrade smoothly, i have done that many times. The problem is 4.3 stock firmware has locked bootloader hence downgrading still keeps u in 4.3 bootloader even if u remove all the KNOX files.
Stuck trying to downgrade from custom 5.1.1 to stock 4.3
Hi, i have a problem like this, upgrade to a custom 5.1.1 and then sell the phone, the new owner wants to have it stock, i try to downgrade to 4.3 but i cant, in odin i set the phone to flash it but seems like it doesn`t recognize the phone and i dont know why, so, i decided to try in recovery mode installing from the sd card but the sistem abort, so, i don`t know what to do, i`ll appreciates any help, sorry for my english, i do my best. (i have root access before upgrated to 5.1.1).
Hey!
I just rooted my phone and installed S6 lollipop ported rom on it, but now I want to install S5 port. It says first I have to install stock rom. How do I do that? I read about downloading rom from samsung-updates, but I don't know which one is mine
Please help!
Hi,
Go to Settings - About Phone and see your baseband.
Good luck
Thanks!
I have a Sprint L720 running a odexed stock MK2 rom from circa 2013. I followed all the steps back then flashed a custom recovery and the rom for the hotspot capability and am still extremely happy with how it turned out but... I want all those fancy new features lol. I don't really need anyone to hold my hand through the whole process but I did reformat a few times since then and have a couple questions before I start paperweightin' this.
Everything on here is MK2. Software, Baseband & Build. If i wished to flash a newer lolipop rom to my L720 would I need to apply any updates first? Can I flash the new rom from the custom recovery? I attempted to upgrade the firmware through Kies but keep running into a device not recognized error that I suspect is because I'm rooted. Anyway thanks in advance for your time!
(Mod can you please move this to the correct board, I can't find the option to delete this.)
Could somebody please post instructions, or info on how I can update my rooted SM-T210r currently running 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 or maybe even something newer . . I would like to do this without losing Root, TWRP, or any of my data, if that is in any way possible . . OTA methods would be prefered, Thanks.
UP? Same scenario only with T211.
Do you want stock 4.4.2 or a modded 4.4.2? I've got a modded stock ROM you can check out. (I'm still trying different things so I haven't officially released the ROM, but would love a tester to give me feedback.) To first upgrade to stock 4.4.2 go to SamMobile website and download the latest firmware for the device. (I believe it is Canadian.) Then flash thru Odin. Then you will have to reflash TWRP. Boot into TWRP and make a backup. After your backup is complete it should ask you if you want to root the device.(Flashing new firmware you will lose root.) After that If you would like to see what my modded ROM looks like pm me.
