Downgrade Direct from the Note 2 No pc Needed 4.3 -> 4.1.2

FACTS:
I Just dowgraded my 4.3 ota to 4.1.2 In 2 minutes literally. NO PC NEEDED! NO ISSUES!
The prerequisites :
Note 2 50% charged "Not necessary though"
Mobile odin pro app .
4.1.2 tar file by teshxx
It's not noted anywhere else of this being done but I just did it successfuly.
How to:
Mobil odin pro is same as odin on a pc but it's all done right from the t889
Which is supported by mobile Odin pro.
Buy$ or get mobile odin pro app.
Select the 4.1.2 tar and flash it you can Inject mobile odin and su into the flash prior to flashing the tar
Look for the options in mobile Odin
Essentially You will skip all the steps of using the PC odin method that has errors ans more steps.
No need to get Odin errors or bootloops No need to cf auto root.
This method seems to be problematic free.
Reboot phone and 4.1.2 will be in settings.
Along with superuser installed on 4.1.2.
KNOX does remain in download mode but has no affect or presence within the daily operating system or its functionality.
No superuser force close nothing.
To make it short you can now flash 4.1.2 roms.

Not trying to be picky, but mobile odin doesn't touch the bootloader at all. PC odin does. That is the reason the mobile odin process doesn't hangup like the pc versions do. A significant portion of the odin flash is not happening. If you boot into download mode you will see the knox counter staring back at you.
Having said that, I am glad you are happy with the results. It is good that you have options.

You see the knox counter either way either method I nevrr disputed that fact ...
My point was that its a easy and available method to get back to 4.1.2
If one chooses to spend...a few bucks on mobile odin pro.
Fortunately I'ts no longer relevant to me I'm on a new 4.1.2 s3 LTE ans staying that way.

I guess my point was that Mobile Odin is not a *perfect* substitute for PC odin. If a person were to attempt to flash 4.3 odin files they would not get the bootloader updated and might have problems with WiFi and other issues as a result. It is a great piece of coding and very imaginative. It also has limitations.
My post is more for others in the audience who need to know this specific limitation. Personally I would be less than impressed if I'd spent $6 only to find that the app didn't do what I'd been lead to believe.
There was a guy over on Dr Ketan's patch thread who used mobile odin to try to flash the bootloader patch several times and just couldn't get it to work.
He thought that Mobile Odin = PC odin. It simply doesn't.
Enjoy your SIII LTE. It should be an awesome device for you. Happy New Year.

i Just want to add that im the second person that was able to get back to 4.1.2 with no errors or problems. infacted i didnt use mobile odin i simple downloaded the zip of 4.1.2 rom that was stock rooted and flashed it through TWRP OR Custom recovery. You must have custom recovery installed. any way 4.3 looks nice i like it but it has too much issues wifi crash and tethering not working 100%.

Thanks for the info. However, why are you going back to 4.1.2? What did you not like about 4.3? I stayed at 4.1.2 as I did not find many reasons to update. Thanks for you info.

i loved the look and feel of 4.3 and the new setting tabs. but the fact that I couldn't get my tether to stick 100% was a killer for me. and I also wanted to try out 4.3 to see if I should upgrade to the galaxy note 3. im currently using the note 2 and if I cant get tethering on the note 3 theres no point in me upgrading lol.

Hello. I have found no issue whatsoever. I suppose that is why the Android Odin is paid while the Windows one is free. It does the job more easily with no fuss. I only want to point out that you need to get the right version to downgrade to. If you don't you may experience problems eg you might not be able to connect to the GSM network in your area or country. That has nothing to do with Mobile Odin though.

Yes, mobile Odin is indeed a very good application. The reason this works using Mobile Odin is that it does not flash the bootloader.
If you pack a tar.md5 file excluding the bootloader then you can downgrade using pc Odin too.

I am not sure if anyone has packed it yet. Did you try flashing any 4.1.2 custom roms ?
Custom roms are usually not packed with a bootloader and you should be able to flash them using any custom recovery.

cf auto root should work for root. what did you use to root? if you are rooted install a custom recovery and flash a knoxfree rom from the dev section

Flash CF auto root via Odin then download latest superuser from play store and you are ready to go.

Just as a suggestion, something that happened to me while playing around with the phone: if you're running Stock rom and then flash a custom recovery via Odin (I used Philz Touch) upon booting on recovery just to wipe cache/dalvik I found something interesting: my phone wasn't rooted, so when chosing the option "reboot system now" a message that said something like "root is broken, would you like to root your phone before rebooting" appeared. I was curious, as I normally use a website called Kingo root that does it in a one-click kinda way. When I chose Yes in the recovery, upon booting my phone it was rooted. After, I just intalled Chainfire's SuperSU from the play store and it was all good.
It's worth trying I believe.
Cheers

I have a question. If you don't run odin as a administrator do you get this error message: Windows cannot access the specific device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access. The last time I tried to root my phone i didn't run odin in administrator mode. I'm just finding out about this recently. I have all of the files installed on the computer and ready. Odin, recovery, keis, and supersu zip on sd card. Im just trying to figure out why I got that error message. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance... Awaiting your response...

The only answer that pops up in my mind would be that you weren't running Odin as an administrator, like you mentioned. Maybe try running Odin as an admin, or alternatively (and I haven't tried this myself but Chainfire's thread gives a good step-by-step and people in the forum do help) use mobile Odin ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899. The first time I wanted to root my phone I was having issues too, not being able to do it because of lack of experience. I stumbled upon this website: http://www.kingoapp.com/. Check it out, if you would like. This kingo app is a downloadle app (kind of like Odin) that Roots yourm phone alone, without needing to flash anything. The step-by-step's are there, just turn on your developer options and then turn on USB debugging. I personally rooted A Galaxy Tab, SIII, a Note I i717 and an Asus MemoPad with that website and it worked perfectly for me. Rooting via custom recovery is something that I learned recently, and by chance. I do not know whether it trips the Knox counter or not to be honest with you, to me it doesn't make a difference since I will not be returning any of the devices I rooted, After rooting the phone like so you could potentially download mobile Odin from Chainfire's thread and then use Odin without needing to use your computer.
Hope this helps

Yeah that was it, i rooted it earlier today. I do have another question for you. I ran root checker pro and it says I'm rooted. I tried to install busybox but it said remove supersu permissions reinstall supersu and to delete and reinstall busybox. Also the adb shell doesn't have root access either. So is that a common occurrence, or is it the norm after rooting and installing custom recovery? Awaiting your reply. Thanks in advance...

Sorry for the late reply, hadn't been to the forum in a minute. To be honest with u, I don't know for sure. I haven't personally yet served myself from adb so I can't tell u. However, the reason why you received that response from busybox may be because when u were partially rooted it gained root access (if it ever did, I only assume).
Try what was asked of u and I'm sure busybox will work no problems. Also, if u have the terminal emulator apk try entering the command "root" (without the ") and if u gain roots access it will definitely mean you are rooted for sure.
What do you want to use adb for, if I may ask?

Galaxy s4 don't know if my phone is rooted or not

Okay so I have a huge problem here. The 4.4 update had release yesterday for galaxy s4 owners. I tried to update it once and the download had finished, restarted my phone and it said install failed. My phone keeps telling me my phone has been modified so I can't download the 4.4. I checked the status and it says custom. Now I bought this phone the other day off a guy from Craigslist so I'm guessing he rooted the phone. Idk what to do help. I just want the 4.4 on my s4 ??

do I have to do it from the computer and how do I do that lol

Yes, computer is required and you can search XDA forums for the several threads which give detailed instructions for the Odin option. Kies emergency firmware recovery might work too though.

wow that was so helpful. guess i'll just intuit what that means.

BACKUP everything will be wiped. Now download official firmware from sammy or xda (id odin my current firmware then ota but either way). Download drivers for your pc. Download odin 3.09 software. Power phone into download mode. Open odin, plug your phone in(in download mode) make sure odin recongized it(should see com port 3 or w.e) and locate a tab called AP, click it and find the tar file....wait for md5 check, auto reboot and something else cant remeber right now will be checked by default, just leave it. Start...wait....profit.

What is your android version anyway? Has knox beeb voided? (Power off, hold power and volume down, read and press volume up to enter download, look for something like KNOX 0x1 VOID in upper left corner) 4.4.4 is nothing special. Better off staying on 4.4.2 rooted because you cant root after update without voiding knox. Even though you may not want to root, you should. Youll lose sd write permission etc with the update. Ideally you want 4.2.2 then manually upgrade.

[Q] Help Needed to Root Knox Triggered Galaxy Note 2

Hi mates
This is my first ever post on XDA however i had learnt alot from here but now i am stuck with a problem.i had a galaxy note 2 n7100.Accidently i already had triggered the knox.KNOX counter shows 1 in bootloader.I am on 4.3 XXUEMk9 . Now i want to deknox and root my phone.i tried alot of methods but failed.I want to stay on my stock rom i.e 4.3 Mk9 for now.
1 .I tried to install XXUEMJ5 but failed.
2. I tried Dr ketan Tool but when i click aroma manager it goes back to recovery main page.i think knox is preventing it to access files.
All your help will be appreciated.

you said that you want a deodexed rom, than just flash a custom recovery (twrp or philz) with odin than flash a deodexed & rooted stock rom
2 - root using cf-auto-root

Thanx for your suggestion,
First thing i dont want to flash a new rom as i dont wana loose all my apps along with their data so i want to stay on the same rom.
2ndly now i somehow manage to root the same stock rom with Dr.Ketan multi tool v 6 but there is still a problem that after 2-3 reboots my note 2 automatically reverts back to unrooted state and i need to root again.I dont understand why this is happening or may be some app is reverting it back to unrooted state.
If any1 have solution for this than kindly explain it.

update SuperSu, update su binary and convert SuperSu to system app again
make sure you have removed all knox files from system/app ; system/container ; system/priv-app
