I believe that if it is official 4.3 you cannot downgrade.

Is it a clone?

If it is a clone is very well disguised, and it have the same SoC (CPU, RAM, Internal Memory, etc)
And it is impossoble to downgrade from 4.3?

You can downgrade from 4.3 but you cannot downgrade the bootloader, that will be stuck

Ah the official stock images will have a bootloader bundled in it. So that maybe where its going wrong. If you install a custom recovery and put a custom rom (arhd19 or wanamlite3.9 are both android 412) that might be the easiest but I would only guess that yhey would work with the mk3 bootloader but it would probably burn the efuse voiding warranty.

Can the mk3 bootloader be downgraded? I wss under the impression that once upgraded to a mk bootloader you were stuck with it as theyre not downgradable

Ok Bro. All you need is to install a Firmware supported by your phone.
I had an N7100 with exact downgrade problem and was fixed by checking different Firmwares. you can install another if you like, european firmware maybe not compatible with your phone. DOWNLOAD Firmware which has size more than 1000 MBs.
Head Over to this Link and Download the Firmware with starting words "MSR",
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571281
It will surely work.
I have tried all of these 4.1s but the MSR-N7100XXDMC3-201304291545.zip worked.
a "THANKS" will make my Day

That MSR version's size is greater than a 1000MBs which means that it has all the required files, which are needed to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2.
So definitely check it out and share the result with us:highfive:

Not sure but it worked for me. I had the N7100 made in korea version which is an international version. I upgraded to 4.3 chinese version. Then I wanted to downgrade to 4.1.2, I tried the chinese 4.1.2 version and two others. Which encountered some errors in flashing. Then I tried the MSR version which worked just fine.
Everytime I was flashing the 4.1.2 versions other than the MSR it incremented the binary counter by 2.

Sorry man, for me didn't work :S It keeps giving the same error :S

Hi everyone. Finally i could flash the note 2 :victory: but i still dont get it why i cant flash through odin
This is how i do it.
1. Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery through.
2. Flash the TWRP 2.6 Recovery.zip through CWM Recovery. (Don't know i i cant flash this recovery directly on odin
3. Flash a CyanogenMod Nightly ROM
4. Install Odin Mobile.
5. Flash the lastest official rom by Samsung for Europe.
6.Yeh I have a official rom on my mobile :victory:
Now I have one problem, when i try to make a call i cant hear the people on the other side and vice versa. I know the mic and speaker are working, if o try to make a call through skype it works perfectly!
Obs.On every ROM i have this problem, on Stock ROMs by Samsung, Europe and Chinese Version and also on CyanogenMod.
When i try to flash the European ROM on Odin it fails when try to write the modem.bin.
I can flash the Chinese ROM without any problems on Odin.
I'm using the lastest ROM JB 4.3 from Samsung
What is the problem now?

The MSR firmware zip link no longer exists?
I have Chines SN N7100 and screwed with no Google accout

[Q] Reroot Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m Koodo

Hi XDA,
I'm very new to this and despite searching for a long time, I haven't been able to find a solution. I originally rooted using CF-Auto-Root-d2can-d2vl-sghi747m.zip. I'd post the link to the guide but it's an outside link so I can't
and it worked fine.
Now after a while, I lent it out to some friends and they somehow decided to mess up my life by unrooting it through SuperSU. I did not have any other custom rom installed and I barely had a chance to use any of the major root functionality. At this point my warranty ticker is at 1 and I was wondering if it was possible to reroot somehow. I soft-bricked it once by following another guide and trying to load a different rom on it.(Ik Ik Bad Idea) but I was able to enter the stock recovery mode and bring it back to factory settings and it works just fine right now, just no root access.
I would really appreciate some help for this and thanks in advance.
Specs:
Galaxy SIII running stock Koodo Rom Jellybean 4.3
rooted using odin v3.07

Since your warranty bit is 1, that means you tripped the Knox counter which means your warranty has been voided.
The easiest way to get root would be to flash a pre-rooted ROM via Odin.

Ok thank you, I shall try that and post results. I purchased the device out of warranty so I am not really concerned about the ticker. I just want the phone rooted again

Thanks again

Solved
After thinking that I had hard bricked my device, I decided to try flashing the original rom (the one I had flashed it with before it got unrooted) and somehow magically it worked.
Thank you Audit13 once again for helping me figure out what I needed to do to get it working
Now should I use Triangle Away or not? I've heard it is a rather risky application
Thanks
S3Razer

Triangle Away isn't very risky in my opinion. I have used it on several bell s3 phones after downgrading firmware and installing a custom recovery and ROM.

[Q] Downgrade S3 T999 from 4.3 to 4.1.1

I need to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 from 4.3 to 4.1.1 in order to unlock it.
However, when I attempt to flash with Odin 3.09, It repeatedly fails. I am using T999UVDLJC obtained from sammobile.com
My S3 was rooted, but when the flash would not work, I removed SuperSU to see if that would make the flash work. My phone is now unrooted, and the flash still will not work. Knox is removed on my phone.
Should I reroot my device? Should I downgrade to 4.1.2 first?

You cannot downgrade from 4.3 firmware. If you try to force it using alternate methods it WILL brick.
This info is included in nearly every 4.3 thread btw.

Doesn't matter, once you update to full 4.3 you can't go back to a previous firmware, and that's the fail message you get when you try to downgrade.. You can flash a ROM based on previous firmware, but that will not help you to unlock it

I read that it is possible to flash all of 4.1.1 except the bootloader. How can I do that and will it help me unlock the device?

So as others have stated it is nearly impossible to downgrade your device after being updates to 4.3. But I have found a way to unlock the bootloader on 4.3 and install ClockWorkMod. What you need to do is use the cyanogenmod installer and it will do all the work for you, even if you dont want to use cyanogenmod. It roots, unlocks, and install CWM recovery all at once.
Go to this site for a tutorial on how to do it.

Sometimes it may reboot your phone back to the Touchwiz 4.3 software but the bootloader will still be unlocked. Once it is done installing just simply put your phone into recovery and you will be able to flash any rom you want!

Updating to NF4

I'm running stock bootloader from launch when I got the phone in 2013. Currently running 4.4.2 updated via Mexican firmware leak back in early spring. I need to update to NF4 bootloader. I keep getting error in Odin when I try to flash NF4. Do I need to be on NF1 before I can flash NF4?

You don't need to be on NF1 or any other baseband version in order to update
to the NF4 baseband.
Here is the direct download link for ODIN in case you need it, this version works
best for me: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Odin85.zip
Be sure you have the latest Samsung USB driver installed which can be found here:
http://tinyurl.com/nlnegmj and be sure to use the original samsung usb cable which
came with your phone for best results.
Good luck!

Your trying to flash the wrong firmware? What was your phone BEFORE you rooted? 4.2.2? 4.3?

If you got it in Dec then it was 4.3. If it was 4.4.4 when you rooted meant you took a OTA?

It was an update via cynogen mod that updated it to 4.4.4. It does look like it had 4.3 like you said. Did I download the wrong file?

Yes you DL the wrong file. Im not too familar with Cynogen. So if it did update you to 4.4.4, you need to Odin the Official 4.4.4 Firmware

Cyanogen 4.4.4 won't require you to flash stock 4.4.4 because it does not update firmware If you had official 4.3 firmware when you flashed cm then you need to flash at least 4.3 firmware. That's why you are getting the error, you were trying to flash 4.2.2. You have the option of flashing 4.3 MK2, 4.4.2 NB4, or 4.4.4 NH7. You might as well flash NH7

One other thought: Just because the CM you are running has some bugs, perhaps another ROM would be a better experience than the bloated Samsung stock.
I'm very happy on Dirty Unicorns, but I've been thinking to try a very basic Slimkat or something like that, then theme it with Themer, and add any apps/functions needed.
Maybe something like that would work for you?
