I'm running 4.2.2 on my 10.1 and it is rooted.
It was done long ago and I really do not need the device being rooted anymore.
Not sure how to unroot it so I can upgrade to 4.42.
It might have been posted but I couldn't find it.
Help appreciated.

Beware that some of us believe that upgrading to 4.4.2 via OTA or Kies or installing Stock 4.4.2 as they come is unsafe!!!
New stock 4.4.2 comes with new bootloaders!!
So for us the safest way to upgrade is use one of the many Rom develop in our forrum. Yes I understand many think the opposite,safest is to stick with Samsung Stock as it come from factory. It is up to you.
A few had claim that after you go back to 4.2.2 Official Stock, their programing counter had clear and they in fact go OTA or Kies to upgrade to 4.4.2. Personally I do not know. I do not use Kies.
But here is an example of such Claim:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 General > KitKat Update official for GT-P5210 available => http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/kitkat-update-official-gt-p5210-t2871073
Good luck with your upgrade, I hope nothing happens with those new bootloaders in the future. Who knows maybe you will not be able to clear your counter again! I do not know I am just kidding.
Thanks, that worked, now I am on 4.4.2.
Just a crazy question, what if I want to go back to 4.2.2, can it be done?

You have not said what type of TAB3 10 you have. 3G, wifi or 4G. Nor said what procedure you follow. Ota, Kies or one of the roms develop here.
I do not know if installing 4.4.2 with OTA or Kies can prevent you to go back.
In my case I use 4.4.2 Pimpdroid 3Beta. I found it smooth and nice. But I got upset with 4.4.2 limitations and went back to 4.2.2 with stock 4.2.2. Without any problems.

Hi all,
i am very new to android, i used iphone from the beginning until I4 but NOW i just bought a samsung s3. it has been a nice exp. so far though, here are some questions i would like to ask:
1. How do i get stock ROM or FIRMWARE (like you call it with iphone) from my S3? Nothing is modify, it is clean from Tmobile phone.
2. It seems like batery in 4.1.1 is alot worst than 4.0.4, thats why if i update to 4.1.1 and i want to go back 4.0.4 then i can do without any problem. HOW DO I GO BACK?
3. You might think how do i know? Well, i had a S3 before this BRAND NEW S3, i updated 4.1.1 and batery had gone like crazy. So, if i update THIS phone to 4.1.1, i would love to have a way to go back. Please tell me if you have a good exp. with batery life in 4.1.1 because i like 4.1.1 BUT i dont want to charge phone everyday while i dont use alot. I have NO DATA service, NO TEXT, just WIFI, MUSIC, YOUTUBE sometimes ....
NOTE: my S3 is clean, nothing modify, rooted or anything. I am new to this, please share links, answers, reply if you have to help me get to know S3, android world (i know alot of stuff with iphone though )
Edited: I would like to know HOW do you UN-install a app in android copmletely too . there are alot of app when i update to 4.1.1 but i never need them.
Not sure what your trying to ask but if you want to update to latest firmware 4.1.2 stock, you can just download samsung kies and just update using the Kies software.

If i update to 4.1.1, kies ot OTA. HOW CAN I DOWNGRADE back to 4.0.4?
So long story short, I upgraded to 4.3 a while ago - rooted my phone - and as far as I knew then, I couldn't go back to the default stock phone. That's fine. Locked my phone away and got an old iPhone and used that.
But now (due to extenuating circumstances) I'm going to be stuck using my old S III and wanted to find out if there was a way for me to upgrade to 4.4.2 or to at least get back to a Stock (rooted or not) version of 4.3? I'm running a custom ROM (Slimbean) and don't really know where to look as I've been away so long and don't know what info is correct or not.
The links I posted here should help.

Thanks a bunch! Appreciate it!
I picked up a used AT&T S3 here in NY because I just installed an Alpine ICS-X7HD in my car. The S3 had the latest NJ1 installed. I was able to root the phone OK. My research has lead me to believe that I won't be able to get any version of Drive Link running on Android 4.4 without FCing when connecting to the Alpine Unit. Research also seems to suggest that I can't go back to the LK3 version either due to boot loader changes made from Samsung and AT&T with the 4.3 update. So I'm looking for advice from the forum experts on what I can do, if anything to get the phone downgraded to a Jelly Bean firmware. I am hoping to hear from someone who has been able to do this before. Can I go from 4.4.2 to 4.3? If so does Drive link still work for you?
I am comfortable using Odin and adb. Let me know if you need any other specific information.
The solution was so incredibly simple. I flashed the AT&T+UCMG2.ZIP through TWRP and rebooted. Now I am on 4.1.2. Drive Link working! So To Recap...I went from 4.4.2 NJ1 back to 4.1.2 and stayed on NJ1 baseband.

How did you root on Nj1??!
To get to jelly bean, you do the hack like method above by flashing a zip in TWRP or Clockwork mod or boot a custom rom based off 4.1.x. Once you are on 4.3 or 4.4, there is no going back to a previous version, attempts result in bricking.
I need help serious. My Note2 (7100) is stuck on 4.1.1
Here is story:

Recent i bought a N2. I was on 4.4 stock but don't know how my IMEI number got corrupted. So Samsung service center guy tried everything but failed(he was not skilled i guess) , at last he downgraded the phone to 4.1.1 and advised me not to upgrade it future.
But i want to taste custom RoM but i m still using ugly stock 4.1.1 which is so bad.
Please tell me whole procedure that i should follow to flash a Custom Rom ( like Eclipse or DN4 or anything ) and do not face IMEI corruption problem and please do remember that i m currently on 4.1.1 stock rooted.
Thanks

Well, if it was on 4.4.2 stock I doubt the downgrade to 4.1.1.
Check your bootloader version with Samsung info app from play store and let us know.

As expected - it is 4.4.2 KitKat so the attempt to "downgrade" has failed and yes, the rest of firmware is older.
It is kinda mixture and if it works for you I won't push you to change and update. There's always a little risk - I would take - and upgrade to newer kitkat for your region - get it from sammobile and flash through Odin, where are you from?

I m from India and yeah i found 4.4.2 stock for my region http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40791/N7100XXUFNL1_N7100ODDFNI1_INU/
And sorry my English is little weak. As you said it is mixture now. So is it risky to do anything with it? Also after upgrading to 4.4.2 via odin. Can i able flash custom roms? Or i better stick with stock 4.4.2?
Actually the reason why i want to upgrade is i get random reboot occasionally and 4.1.1 feel very odd since i have been on 4.4.2 earlier.

Whenever you modify your device there's still a little risk but nothing major.
This mixture you are running is definitively the reason for inconvenience - so go for a newer 4.4.2 and you'll be ready to enjoy custom roms you like.

Read this guide HERE and follow :highfive:
I just received a factory refurb GT-N5110. It immediately started applying updates and is now at 4.2.2. I have heard that some have had issues with 4.4.2. Is it better to stay at 4.2.2 or upgrade to 4.4.2? I understand that you can't go back if you have problems.
By the way, I used to own one of these a couple of years ago. I forgot how nice they are,

Yep 4.4.2 is problematic... I will give up my 2nd Note 8.0 but will keep my 1st as it is in my sig. Nice thing is you can go back to 4.1.2 and have a perfect spen. Root with saferoot and use ti backup to freeze all update services and sercutity update and be happy with it.
