My device:- GT-N7100 ( Galaxy Note 2 international Version)
I am currently using Omega 18v (Android 4.1.2)
I would like to upgrade my omega rom to any other custom 4.4.2 kit kat rom..
Now my question is..
1) Can i flash rom directly from 4.1.2 to new downloaded 4.4.2 rom
{ I believe that first we have to upgrade android to STOCK 4.3 and then i need to install 4.4.2 right.. }
Please correct me if i wrong.
2) If I take my 4.1.2 android nand backup using philz recovery..
and then i will install 4.4.2 rom..
Now after installing 4.4.2 can i able to restore my previous backup ie.. 4.1.2
{ I saw some threads and posts that we cannot downgrade our rom from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2..}
Please solve my questions.
sorry for my bad english..

Yes you can directly flash 4.4.2 even if you are coming from 4.1.2 ROM,only thing you'd need is MJ5 bootloader (it's the last known bootloader that is KNOX free and works perfectly with 4.3 and 4.4.2 Touch wiz rom as well 4.4 AOSP ROM .You need MJ5 bootloader basically to have Wifi Working.Some people managed to get it working by staying on old bootloader and only flashing Dr.Ketan's wifi fix but in either case you don't need to upgrade to official 4.3 to flash 4.4.2.If you upgrade to stock 4.3 from samsung you will have Knoxed bootloader which will prevent downgrading to 4.1.2.So if you think you'd ever want to go back to 4.1.2 ROM then you shouldn't upgrade to stock 4.3 and just flash custom roms (after flashing the mj5 bootloader).I can provide you download link and instructions for MJ5 bootloader which can be flashed after upgrading your ROM to 4.3 or 4.4.2.Make sure you have a backup of your 4.1.2 ROM along with EFS PARTITION(that's a must) and then proceed ahead with flashing new ROMS.

If you want to go with an AOSP ROM, just flash it (per the instructions, of course).
For a stock based (Touchwiz), you should be able to just flash it, then flash a custom kernel (exact instructions should be in the OP).
If you have to, you can upgrade your bootloader, but I wouldn't worry about that til you have to...
I know the AOSP rom instructions.
For touchwiz i reinstall stock rom ma4 but i try the OTA and say no updates for me

DO NOT downgrade to 4.2.2 if you had a higher version. (I'm not sure about CM though)
Download the 4.4.2 version and flash that.
will KitKat works
Thanks a lot for replying. If I flash KitKat 4.4.2 will it work bro?

Most probably... be sure to download the right firmware for your phone.
Hello to all the community, I have a question, I need to know if it is possible to downgrade from a room with Android 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 or 4.3 with .. Basically I installed the next room:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541860
The rom works perfectly, but I wonder if it is possible to downgrade?
Sorry for my English ..
A rooted version of the 4.4.2 or 4.3 rom can be used to downgrade. ..if using a touchwiz based build. ..but the bootloader cannot be downgraded if you flashed or updated to official 4.3 or 4.4.
Knox flag will be tripped and any warranty will be voided. ..g
Hi , went from stock (bell sgh i317m ) kitkat to lolipop using cm 12 nightlies , is it possible to downgrade or will i brick my phone.
Some people say yes , and others no.
some advice would be nice ....thanks.....
With TWRP recovery installed. .. (latest version)....
You can wipe the device and flash just about any other rom in this section. ..regardless of bootloader versions because the other roms don't contain that image. ..
You won't brick anything if you follow the rom flashing instructions from the OP of the thread you wish to try....g
