[Q] NOTE 2 - Please help ! just a small doubt

My device:- GT-N7100 ( Galaxy Note 2 international Version)
I am currently using Omega 18v (Android 4.1.2)
I would like to upgrade my omega rom to any other custom 4.4.2 kit kat rom..
Now my question is..
1) Can i flash rom directly from 4.1.2 to new downloaded 4.4.2 rom
{ I believe that first we have to upgrade android to STOCK 4.3 and then i need to install 4.4.2 right.. }
Please correct me if i wrong.
2) If I take my 4.1.2 android nand backup using philz recovery..
and then i will install 4.4.2 rom..
Now after installing 4.4.2 can i able to restore my previous backup ie.. 4.1.2
{ I saw some threads and posts that we cannot downgrade our rom from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2..}
Please solve my questions.
sorry for my bad english..

Yes you can directly flash 4.4.2 even if you are coming from 4.1.2 ROM,only thing you'd need is MJ5 bootloader (it's the last known bootloader that is KNOX free and works perfectly with 4.3 and 4.4.2 Touch wiz rom as well 4.4 AOSP ROM .You need MJ5 bootloader basically to have Wifi Working.Some people managed to get it working by staying on old bootloader and only flashing Dr.Ketan's wifi fix but in either case you don't need to upgrade to official 4.3 to flash 4.4.2.If you upgrade to stock 4.3 from samsung you will have Knoxed bootloader which will prevent downgrading to 4.1.2.So if you think you'd ever want to go back to 4.1.2 ROM then you shouldn't upgrade to stock 4.3 and just flash custom roms (after flashing the mj5 bootloader).I can provide you download link and instructions for MJ5 bootloader which can be flashed after upgrading your ROM to 4.3 or 4.4.2.Make sure you have a backup of your 4.1.2 ROM along with EFS PARTITION(that's a must) and then proceed ahead with flashing new ROMS.

I think it is not possible to downgrade, because of the Knox bootloader, but wait for an expert answer.
Não sou expert na matéria!

Hey...I downgraded from germany KK NE6 to Brazil UBUBNE2. I think brazil UBUBNE2 has knox 2.0. I need an expert to confirm this, if you have a look at download mode on any kk firmware you will find this on the second last line :: BOOTLOADER RP SWREV : 2
That is the same revision of knox bl on ububne2 brazil JB firmware. I downgraded from GER NE6 to BRAZIL UBUBNE2 and I confirm this works.
GOOD LUCK.
IMPORTANT :: I need experts and senior users to please have a look at what I mentioned above. Thanks.

Hi why you downgrade from NE6 to UBUBNE2 ? Battery ?
I guess that I9195XXUCNE6 will take only 24hours of battery life anf about Max 3:30 hours on display time.
Any tests ?

Better flash the modem file of the stock rom over which you installed carbon rom.
That hopefully works. If not try flashing any other jellybean modem. GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the reply. I will find out modem file.

I cant find modem file for my baseband versio.
It says I9192DDu1BML1

Someone please I am pretty confused.
my base band says I9192.
But when i tried to install serranods(9192) I got error 'yours is serranolte(9195) installation aborted'.
So i installed carbon rom pertaining to serranolte.
I am having india version of s4 mini.

If you have the stock firmware from your device then extract the non-hlos.bin file from that rom and pack that file as tar.md5. Then flash that tar.md5 as AP / PDA on ODIN. That will update modem. You may have to flash that tar file more than once if you don't succeed in one attempt.

Have you installed the correct version of the ROM? If you have the I9195, why does it appear I9192?
Try to flash the modem for the I9195, the CNE6 version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545784

In India only the I9192 Dual SIM is on sale. The I9195 is not available in India AFAIK
Is yours a single or a dual sim model ?

[Q] 4.4.3 Global version Firmware

Can someone give me the Android 4.4.3 Kitkat Firmware 19.1.1.A.0.165 Global Version? I need it please not rooted version just Global and default version.
I'm gonna try to root it by Flashing whole 4.4.3 ftf then flash 4.4.2 kernel then root with EasyRoot kit. After that I will flash the 4.4.3 kernel back. Is it gonna work??? Is system apps now modifiable?? Like modded Playstore. In Pre-rooted stock 4.4.3 Modded Playstore does not work because of system apps restriction and cannot be modified. Even it is rooted so I want to know if this method will work. Please give me the the Android 4.4.3 Kitkat Firmware 19.1.1.A.0.165 Global Version ftf file. Thank you!

It will not work. I've tested it on my D5303.

Is there any way to make it work? Its sad to be just like that. I need root access to system apps.

Is there any other way to make it work to modify system apps???

Dear Bro,
You can try with Pre Rooted firmware PRF Creator tool. I have not tested but I think you should try. You know, each try tells us "this is not a perfect method"

yes it's gonna work
many tried this, just read the forum
but 4.4.2 it's needed
where to find 4.4.2 rom and kernel stock?
with experifilms I can download only the last rev...

Thanks very much bro for your reply.
Just one more query.
Which Stock firmware to download for india? INS or INU?
both INS and INU are marked as : INDIA

It doesn't really matter anyway.
as long as you flash the right firmware for your N3N variant. as long as I know the only difference is the baseband..

Did you back up your stock rom before changing to a custom rom?
If yes then its just a easy task to get your original stock rom with your pervious settings and data.
Procedure :
I assume you are using a custom recovery (TWRP):
Check the attached detail
Note:
You cannot degrade your ROm from Kitkat to Jellybean
If your original was 4.3 Iam sorry Its now complicated.
.If you only need a fresh stock rom then download if from sams and use odin installation mode.
