[Q] Is there a way to return to stock 4.3 OTA?

I need to give my AT&T S3 to my Mom. Is there a way I can have my phone return to stock condition (no root,stock recovery,data wiped) on the 4.3 OTA? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

If you are already on TW either 4.1.1 or 4.3 then just ODIN back the 4.3 update.

You can only Odin 4.3 on an I747M if you're on AT&T with an I747 there is no .tar.md5 yet thus no Odin and there is no flashing backwards. If you try to overwrite the bootloaders with an older version you get a hard brick. When you try to flash an older firmware let's say 4.0.1 for example it will contain bootloaders, a kernel, a rom and a modem and it will hard brick the phone.
The thread you linked is for a 4.3 leak and runs mj2 bootloaders which is older than his current version of MJB. Also the thread you linked doesn't have any odin flashable files in it. Those are .Zip files flashable through a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM.
This could have been really bad for someone if they even tried what you linked. Locally it takes 2-4 days and $50.00 to get a phone Jtag'ed.

Install 4.1.2 custom rom on 4.3 bootloader

Is it possible to install 4.1.2 custom rom on a note2 which has official 4.3?

Bump.... Any one tried this?

That's what I'm wondering too! It's what's keeping me from updating bootloader/rom right now

Bump.. bump? Anyone running a custom 4.1.2 rom on 4.3 bootloaders?

I have had no issues. With roms on 4.3 Other then my Knox counter tripping.

How did you install 4.3 bootloader, did you upgrade from 4.1.2? Can you point me to the instructions for the same?

I'm looking to install clean rom 5.0 with 4.3 bootloader

Why? Did you already flash a 4.3 rom? Just restore a nandroid.

No it is updated officially to 4.3, so has the new bootloader.
So can't reverse the bootloader, but the question is can I install 4.1.2 based rom now?

All I did. Was odin the rooted stock 4.1.2 put on cwm and flashed rom

I was going to say just use Odin to return to stock JB. I found that advice in a thread about this for at&t, but later on the thread a Canadian user said it worked for him.

I cant install OTA updates after flashing stock rom At&t Note 2?

I have a Samsung galaxy note 2 i had liquid smooth on it then i flashed stock 4.1.1 firmware with Odin everything went well im on 4.1.1 then when i go to software update and attempt to install the update everything goes well then it restarts and goes to the At&t upgrade thing and it finishes.Then it reboots and it stays at the Samsung note 2 Screen. I don't know what to do.

This guide should help, particularly post #2..

The ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 mh3 is a bit quirky at times.
If you have not been on 4.3 yet you should read up and decide whether you really want to take the 4.3 ota. Once you have the 4.3 mk6 bootloader there's no going back. There are custom and stock options available here that avoid the need for that bootloader.

[Q] Unroot to 4.3?

I am looking for a guide to see if its possible to Unroot and go back to Stock 4.3 (M919 Model)
I am not 100% sure if downloading the Original M919UVUEMK2 and running through ODIN will do it. So I am kind of Paranoid on taking further action towards going back to Stock Firmware via ODIN seeing how I have not spotted anything. I've only seen Guides that show how to do it with 4.2, which doesn't the bootloader or something Block Downgrades?
I don't really care about the KNOX Flag, I just wanna go back to stock.
Please and Thankyou!

Odin will work as long as you never updated to the official 4.4.2 firmware

Sweet, so it doesn't matter at all if I'm on a custom 4.4.2 ROM correct?
Otherwise thanks for the tip man!

Nope! Just remember to factory reset after you flash it and back up your files

How to update bootloader to the most recent

Hello, so I never took the OTA update to Kit Kat. I just stayed on 4.3 and flashed a Kit Kat Rom. My sig says what I'm running right now. My question is.....can I just update my bootloader somehow from MJB to the new one so I can get the latest modem? I dont want to have to go back to stock and get the ota and then reflash my rom and all that stuff. Or do I have to do that?

Oh and if I have to go back to stock to get the new bootloader and modem....will this suffice? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

Just follow enewman17's thread on how to update. Its in the General section. And yes you have to go back to stock 4 3.

My warranty bit is 1. Will that be an issue?

Lol you answered my question on both threads....hah thank you sir!
