Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks, just wanted to know is there a way to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2?
I don't care about triggering the knox counter whatsoever.
Is it possible by rooting maybe?
Thanks.

hi.
I managed to downgrade 4.4.2TCL with knox 2.0 to 4.2.2.
was simple SamMobile I went to download the "ZTO-4.2.2-I9195UBUBNE2 Brazil" so Caribe; worked with this. Then just put in odin mode and 4.2.2 again.
Sorry my english

Cool, it worked for me aswell for m'y broken N4

hi there!
is it posible to perform this downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 in a i9190 device? Because I think the link to the solution is for the i9195 model only.

No its not. You will brick your device.

ok. So I'll have to wait until samsung releases 4.4.2 for my device and that would be in .......3....2....1........3/4..............1/2......................

What method used to Downgrade I9190 ?
If the radio does not work you can download a ROM SamMobile that is their region.

Odin doesn't let me flash anything from n5120, I wonder if you have a different boot loader than I have.

You can always update latest official with Odin, but remember if you trip Knox (using arco's recovery) you could lose warranty

[SOLVED] Downgrade S4 mini (GT-I9195) v4.4.2 --> v4.2.2?

Kind XDA users,
As the topic implies, I'd like to downgrade this unrooted phone.
Could anyone direct me to a to a link with the proper firmware / procedure?
Will I be able to downgrade without tripping Knox?
Phone info:
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195 (8GB)
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: I9195XXUNCJ6
Buildnumber: KOT49H.I9195XXUCNJ6
Kernel version: 3.4.0-3093013
Perhaps I should also note why I'd like to downgrade:
For some reason the phone gives bad signal on GSM network.
It seems it is connected normally, though sometimes people reach te voicemail without any reason.
Also outgoing calls seem to fail at that time, reboot solves this temporary.
The option "GSM only" is not available under network settings.
I put the SIM-Card in another S4 Mini on v4.2.2 the option "GSM only" is available.
(I did not select it though as the plan has data, it was just the only difference I could find other than android version.)
Tested for approx 2 week and it runs fine, problems are yet to be discovered.
Edit: feel free to move this topic, did not notice I was in the general section.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Hi Stefan!
The only one option is flash ZTO-UBUBNE2 firmware(Brazil), It don't have much bloat, 90% have option to uninstall...
Good luck, MixoMaxoViper.
Thanks for the reply, could you link me to the file?
Can it be flashed with kies or only with odin?
Also will this trip Knox?
Kind regards, Stefan.

That rom is official samsung rom. So it will not trip knox. Extract the downloaded zip file and u get a "tar.md5" file along with a 'dll' file.
Open odin and click on PDA or AP button and choose the extracted tar.md5 file. Then flash it.

This ZTO-UBUBNE2 rom is meant for GT-I9195. You must find a jellybean firmware with same bootloader as kitkat firmwares.
Then you can downgrade. I have i9195, so i do not know about any jellybean firmwares for I9190 that have knox 2.0 bootloader.

Not unless you can put the bootloader from Brazilian rom to your Italian ROM but I think that would be break the knox and probably wouldn't even work anyway.

i want it for i9190 and i9192

Don't think such a rom exists for those models just i9195. That's with the new boot loader. I may be wrong though...
