You are not going to get one. You have to have unlocked bootloader.

will it be danger for my phone to unlock boot loader
Nothing other than losing warranty. The first thing i did was unlock the bootloader after i got my phone.
You can also relock it back. Check the forum for guides on how to do that.
Please refrain from doing this stuff if you are not comfortable with tinkering your phone.
It is a relatively simple task though.

What do you mean by restore? If you mean going back to your previous rom, you have nandroid backups for that.
what do you mean by "restore" ? if you have CWM and have made a backup of your previous ROM then yes you can go back to it
If you are thinking of "reseting" and have installed a custom ROM you need to download the stock ROM for your phone and flash it through CWM
yes sir. i mean resetting it back to its original stock ics rom. pc companion cannot recognize my arc s anymore. im running MIUI Final for arc s. so i will download the stock ics rom and flash it via cwm? how about my kernel? do i need to reset factory settings and erase everything after flashing the stock ics rom?

Just flash any of the custom ics roms available. If you want to flash the stock ICS rom, use flashtool for it. You will lose all data.
custom kernels can be used for OC, better performance etc. so really you dont need the stock kernel, and yes download the stock ICS ROM and before you flash it through CWM do a "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" to avoid any problems
I wonder is this possible or will it brick my phone? Currently I am experiment it with Stock 4.2.2 XME ROM. Is it possible to downgrade it back to 4.1.2? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thank you in advance who ever reply to this.
Problem is i updated my device to 4.2.2 recently with odin. Before doing that I made a (nand) backup of my 4.1.2 stock rom.
As most people having problems with 4.2.2. my phones heats up and battery draining quickly 3 hours and its 10% which is very bad.
When I try to restore 4.1.2 nand , My phone gets stuck on "Samgung Galaxy grand i9082" logo and nothing happens. I restored 4.2.2 backup and its working fine.
I assume its kernal problem. Can i restore kernal to 4.1.2 with odin? I do have stock firmware downloaded already.
Thank you!

Nope, 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 kernel arent't compatible.
Means i am stuck with 4.2.2 forever

Thank you for your reply.
It means that there is no way to go back to 4.1.2
I was thinking if i could:
1. Flash 4.1.2 stock firmware which will return me 4.1.2 stock kernal. (with odin).:fingers-crossed:
2. Once i am on 4.1.2 kernal i restore my nand and get back to my stock rooted rom.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
I tried it and end up in boot loop. I have no idea of which firmware my phone had. because i purchased it online and was shipped from Hong Kong. Manufactured in veitnam . I tried Veitnam firmware , Malaysian and now i will try india, pakistan, KSA respectively. This thread is not that active.
Anyone whos reading if you have any suggestions please try to help me.

Is there a way to downgrade the Galaxy Note 2 N7100 from 4.3 to 4.1.1 firmware because I've been foolish enough to flash a 4.3 custom ROM without making a backup of the EFS. The phone has a service provider sim lock, so I need to downgrade to 4.1.1 or is there any work around to sim unlock my note2 on 4.3 without rollback the firmware to 4.1.1?
EDIT:
I'm currently using my Note2 outside the origin of the phone which is the Philippines, I'm currently residing in Manama Bahrain.
You can try to find the newest version for your phone, country and carrier on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
I have not tried to downgrade with Odin, but I'm guessing it would work.
efs restoring query??
hello everyone, i ve a efs backup, backedup wen im running on 4.3 (xxuemj5). is it possible to go back to 4.1.2 (N7100XXDMB2) and restore tat backup (backed up on 4.3)? i had a prob (" not registered on a network") last time wen i went back to 4.1.2.
thanks in advance-
I don't need the newest one, I need to find a firmware with a sim unlock app compatibility.
Then download the last version that worked for you.

I wanted to downgrade to a lower version of the N7100 firmware, preferably 4.1.1 since I need the sim unlock. The phone is locked to a Philippine telecom, I'm currently asituated overseas - I want to use the phone overseas, hence, the need for the sim unlock is dire.
EDIT:
One more thing, the EFS backup and nandroid backup got deleted when I wiped(accidentally) the sd card.

Did you ever find out ? I'm trying to do the same thing.

Yes, what I did was;
Enter download mode > Flash a custom recovery (It was TWRP in my case) > Reboot > Flash a 4.1.2 based ROM
*I was quite lucky though since I flashed a ROM with a separate zip for the new modem, I got stuck in the process of a full reboot after flashing the ROM. Whence, this should be the sequence I'm supposed to do to make the ROM work;
Full wipe > Flash ROM > Reboot > Go on with setup > Wait for the boot sequence to finish > Reboot > Flash newer modem > Reboot
*I got stuck on the first reboot routine*

another issue regarding the downgrade
Hi,
my N7105 is rooted, 4.3 is installed, knox had been installed but was deleted using Titanium backup. Now i want to flash it back to 4.1.2 again, but:
odin doesn't recognize the phone, i don't have any files to try flashing it via recovery mode and the official update function doesn't work, because it's rooted. I also don't know, if flashing via the recovery mode would work at all.
Am i bound to 4.3 forever?
Generally i simply want to downgrade to 4.1.2 as i can't see any advantage in 4.3 or -if possible- would like to try cyanogen
Best regards

Well flashing doesnt really delete any data... But the problem is when you move to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2, then device goes into boot loop for which you will have to perform factory reset which erases the data.
If you get lucky and wont get into bootloop, then your data is safe. But always take backup for safer side.

If you can't flash a KK ROM, you may need to update your bootloader. If you're not on a 4.3 bootloader, try and avoid it for now.

There is a 4.3 bootloader that would be installed if you ran an OTA update to 4.3 or you manually installed the 4.3 bootloader.
Did you make your backup using Philz? If not, make the backup using Philz, then wipe and install.

Doesn't really matter but it's good to know that you need to stay away from any attempts to downgrade the bootloader.

You can't restore to a completely stock ROM not that you have a 4.3 bootloader. AT&T never released a full 4.3 stock ROM, only an update to 4.3 from an earlier stock ROM.
If you did not have a 4.3 bootloader, you could install any stock AT&T ROM such as 4.1.1. Being able to restore to stock 4.1.1 would also allow you to sim unlock your phone for free, if necessary.

well im on rogers and its the same as att. i still have the original samsung touchwiz 4.1 rom just incase anything happens.
Your original post said you have an sgh-i747 which is an AT&T model. If you have a Rogers s3, it's an sgh-i747m.
Regardless of which model you have, you can't downgrade from any 4.3 bootloader which means you can't completely revert back to 4.1.1. The best you could do would be to run 4.1.1 on a 4.3 bootloader.

sorry i should have included the m lol. i wont worry about going back to 4.1 until the galaxy s5 comes out and im ready to give it to my dad. but back to focusing on this. im about to attempt to flash a 4.4.2 rom. either liquidsmooth or carbon. what do you like?
I prefer Validus version 4.3 because it includes Nova Launcher and it has a dark UI theme.
but thats 4.3. i wanna be on 4.4 and im installing nova and making it the way i had it before.
wait a second is it a 4.4 rom?

It is a 4.4.2-based rom. The release is version 4.3.
hmm interesting...you do recommend it? what great features does it come with?
I like it because it's a very stripped-down ROM, has a dark UI, and is AOSP-based.
It's not radically different from other ROMs but has exactly what I want. I run the same ROM on a Nexus 4 and Motorola Atrix HD.
