You CANNOT downgrade to jelly bean. Only one JB firmware can be flashed. That is brazil ububne2. It has latest knox bootloader.
Any older jelly bean firmwares cannot be flashed. So as of now it is IMPOSSIBLE to downgrade from any kitkat to jb xeo.

You can install any other kitkat firmware if there is none available for your country. They work more often than not. You can try spain or germany unbranded kitkat roms. Good luck.

There are 4.1.2 stock firmwares over at Sammobile.But i dont think you can return to 4.1.2 with a 4.3 Knoxed Bootloader
I have checked SamMobile it dont have 4.1.2 for India any more. just 4.3. I have downgraded to 4.1.1 and dont have any problem because of knoxed but just cant find any working 4.1.2 ROMS. I did tried few on XDA by Dr. Ketan.

[Q] How to find the old stock gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM? Serious mother-in-law problem.

Hello, I have a mother-in-law problem... so I guess you understand my cry for help.
I recently updated her Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160) from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2
Something I shouldn't have done, considering the device being very slow after the update.
So now I am trying to find the old 2.3.6 firmware again, specifically for the Netherlands (XEN).
I have search pretty much everywhere on the web, but only find dead hotfile links that work no more.
I hope anyone still has the stock rom on their computer!
Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 XEN I8160XXLK6
Thanks, Joop

But that's the thing I don't understand:
See, if I would download a random 2.3.6 stock ROM from that website, would I be able to use the Dutch language for the phone?

Oh, and also something that remains unclear to me: if I do get the Dutch language with any kind of stock 2.3.6 ROM, will I then be able to use in on the cellular networks in the Netherlands?

I'm from the Philippines and I used the Italian XXNA1 (Latest stock Samsung 4.1.2 firmware) for a short time (test purposes..) before upgrading to CM 10.1. Was able to connect to our local cell network.

Vino Kulafu, would you mind checking whether the CM 10.1 ROM also has the language option for Dutch (="Nederlands")?
AFAIK all stock ROMs have all Latin-based languages, only a few stocks support Arabic fonts, Cyanogenmod has (at least) Latin+Japanese+Chinese
Anyway, for your original question, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930 (only after flashing that you could install http://d-h.st/QLZ -- less bloatware and doesn't default to Russian )

Maybe you can try try to downgrade to Jellybean from the same region(China).
If it still fails, meaning your current P601 Bootloader doesn't allow to downgrade to Jellybeans once update to KK.
Thanks for the reply

Thank you for the explanation. I tried to use Russian Kitkat version and it worked.
Please don't use the chi a firmware; since it doesnot have google play store or any google stuff.
Russian firmware is ok. It has all google stuff plus extras.
Hope this helps for anyone with a similar issue.

Well, I could only install Russian Kikat version. I guess anyone who tried kitkat on SM-P601 would not be able to downgrade due to boot loader issue.

hello my friend, I had the same problem as you with my sm-P601, I downloaded the firmware on SamMobile and I chose china after installation odin, I've realized that there was not play blind, there was not french, and others. I downloaded a new firmware with another country. but when installing this message is playing in red: SW REV CHECK DEVICE FAIL 3 BINARY 2. I HAVE seen that you had the same problem and you found a solution with kitkat Russian. I want the link to the download please do .I already downloaded firmware at least five but no change. thank you to answer me ... I do not know English very well written

Unbrand Samsung Gt-i9082i

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my Galaxy Grand Duos. In practice, it is the Chinese version and therefore has not been updated to Android 4.2.2, with the result that all roms that require Android 4.2.2 can not be put. I have already tried to put the international version of odin but does not go. How do I upgrade?
Sorry for my bad English
