Hi,
I am newbie for Android and this could be silly question.
Is possible for me to downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 with original stock rom (international version N7100) and no root?
If possible, could you write down steps that I need to take?
Yes, I did search the forum but it doesn't comes with step by steps?
Reason is battery drain too fast especially at night.
I had the same problem... You must be rooted first to do it...
Download the correct firmware (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/)
Install MobileOdin (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en_
Copy the tar.md5 file to your external sd card
Open Mobile Odin and flash the stock rom. It even has an option to root it without effecting the status. My phone is rooted but it still says official. Then use TriangleAway to reset the counter to 0 and you're good to go.
You dont believe you have to be rooted at all, I did this last night, the way I did it was went into stock recovery, factory reset and wiped cache, rebooted, turned off, booted into download mode, connected to pc, opened odin and flashed stock 4.1.1 simple as. It did get stuck once on samsung logo I left it for about 10-15 mins, went back into recovery and wiped and factory reset again, rebooted and all was good and now Im back on 4.1.1 so far its been off charge for 3 hours or so and its only gone down 1% it would have been around 8-10% on 4.1.2 for me
I wasnt rooted before, was on stock 4.1.1 then upgraded to 4.1.2
Absolutely possible. I just did. Steps are,
1- Make a batch backup with Titanium first, on your 4.1.2 ROM.
2- Flash the stock 4.1.1 ROM via Odin.
3- Root it.
4- Go to recovery and wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
5- Now you've 4.1.1 fresh ROM, install Titanium and restore all missing apps and system data.
6- Now you've a fresh 4.1.1 ROM with all the data and apps.

Jujuburi said absolutely correct, why you need root to simply flash stock rom.
Just to add.
After downgrading as described by jujuburi above, your device still will have new bootloader and that won't downgrade by procedure said above and so you have to re root with cf auto root or one of the CWM recovery, exynose abuse apk won't work.
Downgrading bootloader is needs different method and no need to describe here as it is not recommended/required at all.

The easiest way to do it without a pc or raising your flash counter is to follow my tutorial.

Okay, that mean if I dont root is 100% i cannot downgrade it to 4.1.1?

It's only a temporary root. Once you load the tar.md5 in mobile odin you have the option to keep it rooted or not. Just simply keep the box unchecked and you'll be good to go. If you're not rooted right now root it with cf-autoroot to keep your status as official on 4.1.2 then install mobile odin and finish the steps.

????? Your guide isn't the easiet way at all. The OP didn't say he didn't have access to a pc? And flashing stock roms via odin doesn't raise flash counter afaik?
Also your link to odin is a paid for version which isn't required.
+1
Absolutely right
-No root needed to flash using Odin, neither flashing stock ROM with PC odin raise flash counter.
hi guys
a have the same sleep drain issue with 4.1.2 and going to odin flash 4.1.1 but do i have to wipe data/cache ? and if so do i have to wipe b4 or after the flash ?? thx
It is not compulsory, but in many cases during downgrading, after flashing ROM device may gets bootloop OR stuck at samsung logo. in such caes you need to do it.
But i do prefer wipe always after flashing ROM for better performance, you can do it after flashing.

Hello all,
I have been reading, viewing videos etc for past 4 days. and have asked questions on youtube to people but no one replied now you are my BIG HOPE..
i have an international version unrooted galaxy note 2. I dont have much details about baseband etc as i never jotted them down before upgrading. But i do have details now after upgrading to 4.1.2.
Baseband- N7100XXDLK7
Kernal 3.0.31-679347

Build Number
JZO54K.N7100XXDLL7
AP: N7100XXDLL7
CP: N7100XXDLK7
CSC: N7100DBTDLL2 (which is germany)
I am downloading N7100XXALJ3 N7100DBTALJ2 from dr.ketans N7100 all in 1 old rom posts of 4.1.1 Oct 2012 as thats what i cuold find for DBT germany firmwares. Is that right one........???????????????????????
like others i upgraded to 4.1.2 and have been facing battery drain problem. first of should i wait till samsung comes up with fix in next update or shuld i revert back to 4.1.1.
I read this post as and it is so confusing-
Battery only lasts 1 day so want to go back to stock firmware 4.1.1 and want flash counter zero and everything legit. one member said root is needed then other said its not. then dr. ketan in the end say just to go back to stock root is not needed and just flash with odin and it wont increase counter as well if flashed with odin pc. is that right that we dont need root to just go back to stock 4.1.1 as he said.?
---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
Now i am confused as i have multiple options suggested by all in this thread--
* If root is not needed should i just download 4.1.1 (enquired about the firmware N7100XXALJ3 N7100DBTALJ2) and flash it with pc odin just like bradmax 57 said and keep it all legit and will i still get OTA samsung kies updates in future..?
OR
* Should i root my phone first using cf-auto root with method given in your N7100 all in 1 forum and then flash 4.1.1 with mobile odin and then remove triangle away once and for all.? if we go this way obviously phone will be have full root access with limitation of not being able to flash zip files from pc (but will be ok with mobile odin for that) and cant use nandroid backup and restore - i am not fussed about these things but want my phone to be legit for warranty and do need future updates OTA and from kies.?
Also do i wipe cache, factory reset from recovery before or after flashing 4.1.1 as bradmax57 had to do it twice before flashing as it was getting stuck at samsung logo but on the other hand dr.ketan suggests to do it after flashing 4.1.1..
Kindly help.
Thanks in advance for your precious time.
Here i giving clear answer and you should not have any confusion.
-No need to have root to flash 4.1.1 with Odin
-after flashing, you may stuck at samsung logo, in that case you have to reboot to recovery and have to wipe cache and data
-I don't recommend to downgrade, as latest 4.1.2 having SDS fix, on 4.1.1 you device can be brick without any reason. if you have battery issue, download latest MA6 ROM , not necessary you will have to flash DBT ROM, you can flash any country ROM and whenever your country get same update, same way you can flash that ROM with Odin.
First off a big big thank you to dr.ketan, mazdamiata and jujuburi who assisted me and cleared confusion. I have down graded to 4.1.1 easily and see a massive battery difference already. All i had to do was download stock firmware for my phone csc region and flash it with odin. wipe data , cache in recovery mode as it did get stuck on samsung logo and its all good. no root needed and flash counter etc remains untouched as well..

So you're saying we can flash a different rom to our phones without it breaking? I find that hard to believe. Why would there be different firmwares then from samsung? I need TTT firmwares, so I could flash any DMA6 firmware since mine isn't available yet?

dr.ketan said csc doesnt matter. if we flash rom of different country. the rom has kernal, csc information. the only thing is we will get ota or kies update of that country whose rom we flash. rest i wouldnt know lets wait for a word from dr. ketan or some one on this

You can flash any ROM of N7100 to your N7100, that is that simple.
I never seen a case of bricking by just flashing stock ROM. just selecting own country ROM will help you for better language support, and some priority/selection of application for your country on play store when you search OR google suggest you. You can flash any country ROM which is latest and still not available for your country.

I flashed custom roms for many times, don't see any counter on download mode, not in the T-211 model.
if you're meaning is to reset odin status to official, just flash unrooted stock firmware matching your country using odin 3.09, and remember do not check auto reboot and nand reset all.
Code:
samfirmware.com
remember, flash only stock firmware matching your country or region, samsung warranty guys are pretty thorough checking our devices.

Did you say it was recognized in Kies but firmware recovery failed? If so, and you were using Kies (not Kies 3), we may assume the last system update was not older than Android 4.1.1. I'll suggest you try these steps (in that order),i.e. if one doesn't work, try the next step ..
1. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset
2. Download the correct stock image from the thread below and flash via Odin. If you need help with flashing via Odin, please let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 or visit Sammobile.com to download the correct stock image.
3. Open Kies. Do not connect the phone yet. Go to Tools => Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. Enter your phone model name (SGH-I747)=>OK and serial number. Check device information inside the battery compartment. Wait for firmware download to complete and you are prompted to connect the phone and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions.
4. Contact the vendor to find out what they did wrong and see what refund options you have
Ok, so I also wasn't able to get into recovery.
I decided to flash cwm via odin. After it flashed the phone rebooted and turned on normally. I have turned it on and off like 5 times and everytime it boots normal.....But, there is still a problem... baseband version is Unknown and there is no IMEI Number.

Oh, it's 4.3. Perhaps even better because you may be able to flash the 4.3 restore image. Your baseband/modem is corrupt or missing which is why it's showing the no baseband message.
Please see the thread below for the complete 4.3 stock restore image. Download the stock restore image and flash via custom recovery.

Or you may just flash the 4.3 JB modem via custom recovery since you have custom recovery working. The modem zip can be found here ...

I suggested custom recovery and not custom ROM. The idea is to get your phone back in working order first. Flashing a complete stock restore image should do it. Please refer to the thread I forwarded earlier. You should be able to flash custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) to your phone via Odin and then use the custom recovery to flash the stock restore image.
hi guys , this is my first post so bare with me ...
first of all i would love to say thanks to this community , i have learned a lot trough out the years iv'e been reeding this forum....
i have a question before i update my note 2 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 ...
i rooted it with cf root a long time ago , should i unroot my phone before updating to the official 4.3 ?
also my counter is 1 , should i use triangle away and reset it to 0, or it doesn't matter?
and which odin should i use (link would be useful) 1.85 or 3.07?
one last question , is it normal to see in the recovery mode an android lying on the floor with a red triangle ?
sorry if my English is quite bad ... its not my main language

If you can avoid upgrading to official 4.3 it would best to do that,cause if you upgrade to 4.3 you'll be on knox bootloader which means you can never downgrade back to 4.1.2.So in my suggestion flash any 4.3 Custom ROM,you might not have wifi working once you flash the ROM,you need to download the MJ5 bootloader ,it's the last known bootloader which is KNOX free and you can use it to flash 4.3 TW,4.4 AOSP and 4.4.2 TW leaked rom.I can link you to the MJ5 bootloader and how to flash it once you choose the custom 4.3 ROMS.As far as 4.3 custom roms there are many out there and it wouldn't be fair to compare which is best cause all the developers have worked hard to make their ROM stand out so try 2-3 different 4.3 ROMS for a week and see which suits your needs and usage.Also each ROM thread has an FAQ thread so read that carefully with flashing instructions or if you'd need any additional files to be sideloaded along with the ROM ZIP.If you have any doubts don't forget to use the search option thread in each ROM thread you'll most likely have your questions answered.Since you are already rooted you don't need to re root but odin V3.07 is needed to flash the MJ5 bootloader.Below are the links to both files along with instructions how to flash MJ5 bootloader.Also on 4.1.2 before you proceed to 4.3 make a backup of your STOCK ROM along with EFS folder.

hi ,first of all thanks for the replay ....
two questions :
1 . im aware that i won't be able to downgrade to 4.1.2 .... but why would i want to downgrade , after all you need 4.3 to be able to update to 4.4 soon,am i missing something ?
2. and if i would still prefer an official 4.3 rom , do i need to reset counter and unroot aswell ?
by the way, if my recovery has an android lying on his back with the belly open and a red triangle is it normal ?

To answer you first unanswered question,if you don't want to downgrade ever then you can go ahead and download the official firware OTA or via sam mobile for your respective region.
Second question,apparently to unroot you need to download stock 4.1.2 of your country and flash it via odin that will unroot your phone and you'll be back on 4.1.2 stock then you can check for updates via phone or head over to sam mobile for stock 4.3 and flash it.
That red triangle in recovery means you are in stock recovery as far as i can tell
read this post as well. http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1720z8/noob_friendlyguide_unroot_your_galaxy_note_2s3/
The thing is i never upgraded to official 4.3 and wont upgrade to official 4.4 i directly came from 4.1.2 STOCK,rooted it and been on custom ROM ever since.so you might want to google a bit more about how to unroot your 4.1.2 and reset the custom status and then download 4.3

after you are on stock 4.1.2, you need to reset flash counter via triangle away if you wish to update via OTA or ready to claim warranty..
Knox will be triggered after you upgrade to 4.3 and use odin to flash any files.
Guys,
I have not kept up with Samsung phones and am totally lost. A friend brought me an ATT Note ii that to their knowledge had been rooted. When they tried to do an OTA update, it screwed up and now when i go to download mode, here is what is says:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I317
Custom Binary Download: YES (10 Counts)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A2
When I try to load a stock rom via Odin, it will go all the way to the end before it errors and show in Red "unsupported"
I would appreciate any help you have on this. I am totally lost but if anyone can fix it, you guys can, Thanks in advance
after doing a little research, i was able to load TWRP recovery, a pre-rooted stock rom of 4.3 and the 4.3 bootloader all though ODIN and got the phone back up and running. My next question is, with my knox warranty showing 1, what are my options as far as roms go? Am i stuck with the stock 4.3 ?
