[Q] Stock firmware 4.1.2

Hey guys
Firstly I would like to say a huge hello to all on the forum, browsed around for a while and then joined up :good:
I have a n7100 uk unbranded note 2 that after upgrading to omega 19 4.3 which I didn't like Im trying to downgrade to 4.1.2 and then reflash omega 18 as I cannot roll back to 18,
I wondered if this is the correct way as it the moment its stuck on the boot screen and when I attempt to wipe the internal sd card the phone reboots and again sticks?
Im struggling to find the stock firmware and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance

I think it is not posible to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2 because of changes in bootlader in MK4 version.

He is using Omega, which is a custom ROM, I believe. It should most probably my Knox-free. Of course, If u flashed a ROM that relies on Knox, too bad, you're out of options.
Smack that thanks button if I helped.

Not everyone is looking at YOUR question. Have some respect/patience. There are threads guiding how to flash a different firmware version all over the net using Odin, in the hour you waited for a response, you could have easily used Google to find your solution.
Now you may have an issue about Knox, but since you are going from 4.4 to 4.3 (both a knox bootloader) i don't think there will be any issues.
If you have a custom recovery, just flash a 4.3 ROM
If not, use Odin to flash the 4.3 official firmware package.
With the information i provided you, you should easily be able to achieve what you need to do via Google search.

Are you sure the 4.4 to 4.3 thing works? I've been using 4.2 on my S4 (I9500) all along, and recently upgraded to 4.4. I strongly dislike KitKat and would ideally like to go back to 4.2, but if there's no way of doing so, 4.3 would be fine.

I have not tried it myself. It was just speculation since they are both knox bootloaders. The worst that will happen is Odin will say it failed OR your Knox will be tripped (which i see highly unlikely as knox detects changes from what "should" be there)

Thanks for the help. There were some people who said that it's impossible to go back to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 and some that said you can't even go back to 4.3, but then others that said it is possible. I tried a number of different ROMs and they didn't boot at all. Then I tried Omega ROM v14.1 (Android 4.2.2), and that works brilliantly now.
Here's the thread for it from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887. Only seems to be for Samsung Galaxy devices at this point.
It is an unbloated TW ROM (actually allows you to choose which Google and Samsung apps to install during a custom install process that begins when you flash it). It's faster than all my previous versions of Android, and obviously takes up less space.
Annoying that not everything works and that it took such a long time to get a successful installation, but at least I've found a ROM that has what I was looking for.

Yup but that is a custom ROM and with proper recovery you can go down to 4.2.2 but when we speak of Stock Samy Firmware and Odin it is imposible i have tested it. And Omega is great but still Custom hehehehe

Oh yeah, I became aware of that very early on during my search. All the ROMs I've been trying to get working have been custom and Omega is the only one that's actually booted.
I'm just glad I found something that looks like my old TW 4.2.2. Don't really mind whether or not it's custom. It is a shame that you can't go back to older official Samsung firmware once you've updated though. What do you think the reason for that is?

Samsung's "control" issue

[Q] Looking to try out kitkat :D

Hey all im looking at manually updating to kitkat and my problem is im not sure how tricky that will be as my last run in with odin was a bad one..
well not odin, but 3 months after rooting my first note 2 it died from sds. Samsung replaced it which took forever - my original one was a french model. The replacement i now have is the hong kong one.
GT-N7100
And. V: 4.3
CSC: N7100ZSENE1
PDA: N7100ZSUENE1
I know its most recent version is 4.3, but seeing friends with n7105's and kit kat is just driving me nuts!
Anyywhoo upgrading to 4.4.2--
Will it be a straightforward procedure?
And am i likely to have problems with KitKat and my particular model?
Pros cons?
Sorry for being noobish >.<

Since you are already on 4.3 you cannot go back to 4.1.2 cause of being on the Knoxed bootloader which makes downgrading impossible (only 4.2.2 is possible).Well you got few choices when it comes to trying out 4.4 either you can flash stock ROM which is rolling out slowly to many countries or you can try the custom KK. So root your 4.3 if you don't want to upgrade to stock 4.4 and then flash any one of the custom 4.4 which comes in variety of flavours such as stock note 2 KK , note 2 and note 3 featured ROM or S5/note3/note2 featured ROM.You would have to try few custom ROM to see which best suits you.No one will be able to tell you which ROM is best since each custom ROM offers different tweaks.
To download stock ROM head over in General Note II section and there's a download link for FNE1 KK French version uploaded to mega.co.nz by an user called "robalm" .Download the zip file , extract it , you'll get the .tar.md5 , put the phone in download mode and place that extracted file into AP/PDA Mode of odin and sit back and let it do it's thing.

So I would think u can downgrade but if you do I think u have to flash stock ROM through Odin but I could be wrong because of bootloaders and other stuff
Second question I can't answer I think u would have to get the stock 442 ROM that has it I don't know not got alot of knowledge with downgrading

I have personally booted 4.1.2 on my 210R after upgrading to 4.4.2. I just restored a TWRP backup I had made, and it still worked with the KitKat bootloader.

Bootloader 4.4 and Firmware T999UVUEOH1

Hi guys, I have T999 I am on Likewise 4.1 dtmo and currently on the T999UVUENC2 modem/bootloader, which is version 4.3. I have not updated my phone in a while and now I'm searching the forums and have 2 questions:
1. Should I update my bootloader/modem to T999UVUEOH1? I have read that it fixed the stagefright bug. (I found it on sammobile)
2. Some ROMs in the ATT section, such as the S3 R3ARMED, which is also made for T999, call for the use of a 4.4 modem and bootloader, but there is no such thing available to us. How can I proceed to avoid a brick?
Thanks!

I just updated it and there is nothing new. Just keep calm and stay at NC2, i will test it's performance and battery life

Hey I have the same model but I ruined my stock ROM can u please help me provide ur firmware.

Why don't you download the stock rom from SamMobile?
Btw, this stock rom is WAYYYYY better than NC2. Better performance and very good battery life
