[Q] {Q} Downgrade from kitkat to jelly bean - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

hi guys.. i got a question,, is there anyway to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
thanks for answer, if you do it

You can, but it will trigger the KNOX flag.
Just follow the how to info in the Q&A threads.

That depends on how he upgraded to KitKat. If he took the OTA update from Samsung or used Odin to flash it he should have the KitKat bootloader and that would be true, but @civato has a ROM that allows upgrading to KitKat using the Jelly Bean bootloader. If he upgraded that way he can flash the stock JB firmware with Odin and not trip the KNOX flag since that's only done by the KK bootloader.
There's information in the Q&A section about how to check the current status of the KNOX flag.

hydrolynx, confused??? I am happy with JB, as most of the apps are good and a few tweaks makes KK less than spectacular to my needs.
I'd save KK for devices that lack Samsungs features... The newer devices will be anything but KK.

My note was dead last month, then I brought them to Samsung, they told me my software was corrupted, and had to reinstall it, they gave me KK, now I know what you mean gooberdude, KK is totally sucks,
Device overheating problem makes apps closed by itself and I can't even delete some files at my sd card from the folder...
Anybody knows if the software installed by Samsung can I do the downgrade without triggering the KNOX?
Thanks, I miss my old rooted JB and I want to get it back..

[Q] Is there an official US 4.2.2 firmware available for N5110?

No offense to the folks running good versions of the UK 4.2.2 firmware, but since the U.S. version is out does anyone have that available to install on a a rooted but stock N5110 wifi note 8?
www androidcentral com/android-422-now-available-wifi-galaxy-note-8-kies-and-ota
I don't want the UK version (nothing against UK), but I can't seem to find the US one on the forums. Can someone link me if it is available? If not, just confirm that it isn't available yet and I'll just have to unroot and re-root.
Thanks
US stock firmware 4.2.2 is not available.

My US GT-N5110 Note 8.0 was updated to 4.2.2 through the setup menu last week. I found a couple issues with it. I would rather to stay with 4.1.2.
not sure why you can't just upgrade to the US 4.2.2 via Kies and then just root it? I can see if you were asking for a deoxed zipalign stock version, but since you didn't mention anything of that... just unroot and turn your 4.1.2 back to stock, and load up Kies and upgrade to 4.2.2 then root it.

no. it is available....where did you guys come up that it is not?
First I was talking about a version to get that was downloadable on my own not via ota or kies.
I rooted but i am not running custom rom or recovery... Kept everything else stock.
And I can't unroot and update via ota because I get message about my device being modified still after I use voodoo rootkeeper. Anyway I am at a loss on how to update now anyway and I really don't want to use a custom rom. .

it is at http://www.sammobile.com/, go search your device number...make sure you download the right version. If you have N5110 US WiFi, you should be downloading "N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_XAR.zip", unzip it, when you unzip, you should end up N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5, and then use odin to flash it...remember, this is stock firmware, so if you device rooted, you will loose...

I've never seen an official AT&T stock 4.3 ROM. I know AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update but don't think they released a full ROM.

Aren't those are re-packaged ROMs rather than being a complete 4.3 ROM similar to Rogers/Bell/Telus ROMs? To install, you have to Odin back to a stock rom or TW-based ROM.

am sure there is an official firmware from at&t and its hidden in this threads or somewhere on the net plus i was on a 4.1.2 stock, i dont like leaks just the official cleaned out so i did not have any problems with bootloaders/updating etc....... did not bother to use odin just flashed with CMW and everything worked
edit: devs need the official firmware from AT&T to work on , without it they have nothing (assuming you already know that)

AT&T did not release an official Odin tar for 4.1.2 or 4.3 it would be great if they did but they haven't and don't have any plans to do so.
Even without the tar files I think our developers have done a great job.

Agreed. The devs worked directly from the OTA. They never had the official firmware, as they all will tell you. You're not going to find it here or anywhere on the net.

I understand the devs had to re-create the ROM. My point was that these aren't stock, but they are certainly good to have around

AT&T released official for 4.1.2 , dont know what happned with 4.3 but blame Samsung cuz after 4.1.1 S3's update, updates went down from there ........4.1.2 update was great, 4.3 being a WTF and no 4.2.2 .........but am optimistic that 4.4 is coming for S3's and never will CM/AOKP/PARANOID roms forsake the S3 it will have 5+ versions

So since you allege AT&T released official firmware for 4.1.2(some other way than OTA) obviously my search skills aren't what they should be. Can you provide a link to backup your allegations?
Whether or not we get updates has little to do with Samsung and more to do with the service provider, and it is the service provider whom determines if we get an official copy released.
My thought is that AT&T is attempting to discourage us from customizing our devices. Some people have no business customizing anything and that can cause them to attempt to return their device under warranty. When the owner was the cause of the device failure that costs the provider money...

Btw I want to apologize to the OP here is a link to some roms that are pre rooted they're very close to stock with only minor differences mostly in its capabilities and some are debloated. These will get you rooted for sure, remove knox and should do what you want. I like the one from loserskater. This link below works only on the AT&T SGH-I747.

[Q] Need Help! Trying to return 4.3 modded back to stock.

Hello,
I am having many issues and bugs like copy and pasting not working, not being able to text pictures or post pictures to fb, with my Galaxy S3. It is running a custom "Stock mod" rom. I want to re-install everything back to completely STOCK and start fresh like the day i got it... however i cant seem to find a way to do this with 4.3. Can someone please guide me in the right direction to getting either an extremely stable samsung stock themed rom or just the official Samsung 4.3 or higher rom. I just want my phone to function normally again. So sick of bugs and glitches.
Below are the stats for my phone:
Custom bootloader: TWRP v2.6.3.1
Model: AT&T SGH-I747
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Kernel: 3.0.31-2024954

Thanks in advance for anyhelp you guys can provide. Ive been beating my head against the wall trying to find a normal rom. Thanks!
Cheers!

I'm trying to figure out the same thing so I'm going to bump this thread and see if anyone has answers.
AT&T never released 4.3 as a complete ROM, only as an update from a previous ROM so I'm not sure if you can return completely to stock 4.3.

That is as close to an Odin restore you can get. It is a stock rom stock recovery no root it is exactly how it was released to our phones.

[Q] DN3 on my Note 2 ?

Hi,
Sorry for the noob question, I have N7100 international version with the bad bootloader (associated with 4.3). Did some modding but I would like to install DN3 which I downloaded (DN3_v3.2_by_E-Team_(Vegeta_Edition)). Is it possible with that bootloader ? My version number ends with XXUEMK9
No
Need flash new bootloader first

If your bootloader is MK9 then you don't need to upgrade to latest bootloader which is ND3.Only drawback of being on the older bootloader is that you cannot charge your phone by turning it off it will turn back on.If you don't care about this then stick to MK9 if you want to upgrade to ND3 then you can do that after flashing the ROM.Also my advise for you to is to flash DN3 V5.2 it's the latest release and based on KitKat 4.4.2.
DN3 V5.2 scroll all the way to the bottom for the links,there are two versions full and lite only difference is that lite has bloatware removed such as samsung apps and all that full version has all that but while going through aroma set up you can choose what you would like to keep.
nd3 bootloader to be flashed via pc odin using the bootloader tab only after flashing DN3 ROM.
Thanks very much for your help. Noob question number 2 : how to know what my bootloader is ? And number 3 : I thought the bootloader going with 4.3 was locked and couldn't be changed so I feel lost, could you explain this ? Thanks already !!
Hey, did it, it works flawlessly. Thanks for your help I appreciated it.

Sorry I just happened to check your reply on the thread since you didn't quote my post while replying.Glad it worked out for you.To know which bootloader you are on download phone info app for samsung from playstore it will tell you that.Regarding 4.3 bootloader from 4.3 onwards all bootloaders knox and they can only be upgraded not downgraded so if a newer bootloader after ND3 arrives you can upgrade to that but you won't be able to go back to ND3.
Just lost my wifi/bt & wifi hotspot after using dn3 5+ for a several days.. I return back to 4.3 custom rom and stock rom hoping to fix this problem but no luck..

Oh, yeah sorry I'm not used to quoting. I am really happy with this rom except for two things : battery life is a little shorter (didn't install greenify yet), and there this app always stopping when I play music with deezer : soundalive. Changed it for the other FX something I can't remember but now it's OK. Thanks!

[Q] Downgrading 4.3 to 4.1.2 on GTN7105

I only really used to lurk the forums, but I've seen a lot of conflicting threads with regards to rooting/downgrading methods for this particular model which is why I'm asking here today:
My understanding is that KNOX itself will trip when rooting occurs and voids the warranty, and that it also blocks bootloading(?)
I made the mistake of updating to 4.3 a while back and I've regretted it ever since, and now that there's an OFW update to 4.4.2 (I'd rather not update it) I'm stuck between updating to 4.4.2 (Which might lock me out of downgrading) or staying with 4.3 until a solution appears.
Here are my device details:
SAMSUNG NOTE 2 LTE
GT-N7105
Android Ver: 4.3
Baseband ver: N7105XXUEMJ9
Build: JSS15J.N7105XXUEML3
I'm already past warranty so tripping knox isn't a problem, I just want to bring it back down to 4.1.2.
Can anyone give me advice or a step-by-step on how I should proceed? I've been looking for a solution over the last few months without any real progress...:crying:

Once Knox is triggered or updating to official 4.3 and higher one cannot downgrade to 4.1.2. So you are stuck with 4.3 and higher ROMs. Bye bye 4.1.2
