[Q] Go back to 4.2 from CM 11 - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I use Samsung Grand I-9082. I don't know much about android's workings and followed a youtube video to root my phone. I was then on 4.2.2 and then out of curiosity upgraded to Cyanogenmod 10.1. It was fine so when Cyanogenmod 11 came out i flashed it too using the same CWM recovery. Since about a month ago my phone is becoming unresponsive sometimes especially at lock screen and occasionally it reboots by itself while i'm in the middle of something.
Is there any way i can go back to android 4.2 from CM 11? I should also mention here that i don't want to unroot, just downgrade to a stable rom that my phone will be able to adequately function with, without causing any trouble.
So suggest some good stable roms with dual sim capability. I'm considering gennxt custom rom.
I'm not much technology literate, so kindly give me instructions for the procedure. Thanks in advance.

You can flash any stock custom rom
Or restore your stock rom backup through cmw recovery If you have

[Q] Question about flashing rom

Hello, i'm a fresh man on my P936.
I got some trouble on flashing roms except of stock rom (full rom).
In my case, I can:
1. Access to CWM
2. Flash stock rom, stock-modificatied rom or full rom successfully
However, I failed in
1. flashing other roms likes PAC-man rom, ChaOS and etc third party rom. After I flashing those rom, and reboot my phone. The screen did not show anything, dark screen with LCD background light.:crying:
I have follow those inspections and tried many times.
Does any users have those experience before? And how can I solve it?
Thanks a lot:angel:
before you flash a non stock rom you need to wipe data, cache, dalvik, wipe battery stats (optional)
also do a nandroid backup before you wipe incase the new rom doesn't work for whatever reason, i had a problem flashing pacrom though too btw, it might just be the rom. you can try an older version or something too
If you're coming from another ROM It is recommended that you first do backup then FULL wipe then flash ROM

Yeah its a bug. Try flashing Wind 2.3 immediately after flashing CM (or PAC) and gapps, with no reboots between.

ok try this go for a dirty flash , flash the rom but dont reboot the phone instead get back to recovery and fix permission, wipe cache and dalvik cache twice before re booting.
this should get you on I would recommend to try with philz recovery .
if not then it really need some pills to get adapted to 4.3 rom

I ve got the same problem. Installing PhilZ recovery didn't help at all. I can install any 4.3 ROM but can't get the to reboot. After the installation and the initial boot everything runs fine until I reboot or shut the phone down an boot again.
I tried CWM, Team Win and PhilZ.
I can always go back to 4.2.2 without hassle...
No idea, what is causing this.

Fixed it.
Using CWM now instead of Team Win and everything works. Needed to test some versions though.
Im facing the same problem.The rom gets flashed and Im able to play around with it.The issue arises when i reboot -it ends in a bootloop.Tried a lot of 4.3 roms and all with the same result.I changed recovery and wiped twice,did a super clean install but the same problem.I can run cm (4.2.2) without any issues ..
What should i do ? and why is this happening ? Coz the issue arises only when i reboot ...
i find out my own fix for it i have used odin then after everything being done i haved go to recovery and wipe factory reset and dalvik cache reboot and works for me always.
Its funny how every one is experiencing diffrent problems. Technologo

Cannot install any 4.3 custom rom

Hello, my name is Sebastian. First time I post here. I´ve been reading a lot here in Xda, but no posting before.
I have a little question for you all, experts, and I think its kinda simple but I can´t figure it out.
My N7100 was running fine with a stock rom (Android 4.1) and then flashed a custom rom, I think Phoenix Rom (Android 4.1) and working very fine too..
Now I wanted to flash a newer rom, and I've tried a lot, with no good results:
PHOENIX ROM V15 (ANDROID 4.3)
DR KETAN CUSTOM ROM V6.1 (ANDROID 4.3)
DN3 V3.1 (ANDROID 4.3)
HURRICANE V6.0 (ANDROID 4.3)
I can install them all very fine, but when I restart the phone, it get stuck at the Galaxy Note II N7100 logo.
My CWM is version 6.0.3.7 and I`m using Philz touch 5.15.0 (I've tried Philz touch 6 with the same results).
I tried installing a new radio with Odin, version DDUMJ9 Modem and still the same result, stuck at boot logo.
Its weird cause I can install very fine the custom rom PROBAM 5.0 (Android 4.3) and it don´t get stuck at the boot logo, and the system runs very fine. I also can install custom rom REVOLUTION HD 19.0 (Android 4.1 based).
So, my problem its with Android 4.3 and most of the custom roms based in that system that are holded here in Xda.
What can i do? What I'm doind wrong? What is missing?
I'll be very grateful for any help that you can give me.
Best regards.

Ok I flashed MJ5 bootloader using joeldroid instructions (post found here in Xda) via Odin.

Thanks a lot man, but I've tried to install Phoenix ROM like...7 times? And before every installation I do the following:
1. Wipe dalvik cache
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe cache/full factory reset
4. Wipe and clean to install a new ROM (Philz touch option)
And then I perform the installation. Like I said in my first post this is happening to me with every Android 4.3 custom ROM, not just Phoenix ROM.
Do you have any other idea? Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
from what you said,you only do factory reset before install.
did you do factory reset after install ?

Yes I've done factory reset to every installation I've made, and I even done it more than one time several times.
I did a new test, I formatted the internal SD and did all the wipe steps and tried to install Dr Ketan ROM (android 4.3 based) with no luck.
After all the new tests I did, finally decided to go back to Android 4.1 and flashed Revolution HD 19.0 and now my phone is working flawlessly.
What is missing in my phone to be able to run Android 4.3? I've seen other people with the same problem, but none seems to give and straight answer.
Here's is an example of the same problem:

hurmm..this is weird..
why don't you try mj5 leak stock rom..since mj5 leak is a stock rom..i don't think you will face any problem..
after done mj5 flashing, apply patch from here then flash custom rom.
if that also not working, i dunno what wrong with your phone.

Have you tried zoot's script mega wipe ?
Android 4.3 I notice there's a change on the usb internal storage folder. If the MJ5 bootloader you have tried already, you can try this megawipe. It will wipe very clean your internal storage. Don't worry, it won't wipe your EFS
I always use this script everytime I want to jump to new Android base, and so far never give me a problem.
Good luck!

You must use a Super Wipe script before the factory reset when installing a 4.3 Rom for the first time.
sent from somewhere
Agree because they change the partitioning.

You can Flash leaked 4.3 mi6 rom via pc odin and it will automatically wipe your all data and int storage. You still will have old boot loader. After that,you can try any 4.3 custom rom.

You can flash any ROM you want after upgrading your boot loader. Just do not try to downgrade your boot loader to anything below 4.3 as it will result in a hard brick.
Can't Flash anything
I was on stock 4.3 and i decided to upgrade to the [ROM][9.15.14] LikeWise Galaxy S5 | TouchWiz 4.4.2 | NE4 | Version 4.1.
It didn't work. It gets stuck on the s5 samsung logo boot. I decided to return to 4.3 but it doesn't work it gives the status 7 error.
Files i have
1. d2att_I747UCUEMJB_modem.zip
2. I747UCUEMJB_bootloader.............. I am not able to flash this
3. att-LikeWise-v4.1-NE4-9-15-14
4. update43
Status 7 errors can happen with an outdated bootloader.
I highly recommend Philz Touch which can be flashed in Odin or from your existing custom recovery.

yea i used philz_touch_6.07.9. I also tried flashing I747UCUEMJB_bootloader because i suspected that i couldn't revert to 4.3 because of an outdated bootloader, but that didn't work either.
I will really love that S5 ROM but now i can't even flash anything.
I can view my recovery and download mode.
I suggest downloading a CM11 for a d2lte and flash it in recovery. Before flashing, I recommend that you wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system. After flashing, wipe cache, data, and dalvik again just to be sure everything has been cleared, then boot the phone.

Hey!!! I've installed the CM11 d2lte and it's running perfectly.
Quick one, i'm still interested in installing the likewise S5 ROM. Now that i'm on the CM11, how do i go about it?
Thanks for your assistance, it was highly helpful.
Make sure you have the latest custom recovery on your phone. Copy the custom ROM to your phone, boot into recovery and create a nandroid backup of your current ROM. Once the backup is complete, wipe cache, dalvik, and flash the custom ROM.
Make note of any errors messages you get when flashing the new ROM.

The mistake i was making was that i didn't mount the system after i flashed the Likewise ROM. The moment i did it, it booted correctly. Almost everything is working perfectly fine. If i try to change the lockscreen wallpaper and it brings out the Gallery, wallpaper and err... some other option, when i select the wallpapers for the lockscreen the settings crashes.
You guys are just awesome. Thanks!

You need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache like all ROMs but also you need to go to Mounts and Storage > Format /system, then flash the ROM you want.
EDIT: Recovery is not the issue with any ROM, but the /system is not formatted in some of them and that can cause problems at times, so formatting /system will give you a much cleaner install. 6.0.4.5 should work for all 4.2.2 as well as 4.4 ROMs

Then you might need to do a fresh 4.2.2 firmware install for the 4.2.2 bootloader before installing a custom ROM

Do this
1) Copy the file to the root of your internal storage.
2) Rename it pyramid.zip
3) FLASH
