[Q] Note 2 4.4.2 downgrade questions - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone Recently i found it very unsatisfying with the 4.4.2 firmware n i was hoping to downgrade n i did some research of cz, n i heard there will be problems because of knox n bootloaders if i downgrade to 4.3.. but can i ask how about downgrading to 4.1.2?? will there be any problems??

Make full backup for your rom then try to downgrade by what you want by full 4 files software, if it's ok in joy that but if there any problems just restore your rom backup after update to currently rom

I am using leaked 4.3 and it's working just fine, no problems till now at least. And if you have efs backup then you can downgrade again I did it myself to check now I am back to 4.3.

Well I already went ahead and did the upgrade 4.3 dn3 version
Working good so far .... but I think features like smart stay and smart pause not working....
Also It got most of the note3 features which m happy about :thumbup:
There been some post where for note2 you will get 4.3 version android but it will b without note3 features..... to get note3 features you can use "note3 experience" app available on play store .. havent tried that since I got my custom rom running already and I came to know about it later
3 days already and rom running good

Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)
The main reason for me to expect 4.3 is the bluetooth LE (4.0).
Any other way to get this ?

Smart scroll and smart pause also working on dn3 version 2
Flash it and you will never go back... awesome

Bro..just download the prerooted MI6 firmware for JB 4.3,it wont raise your binary counter and your phone's status will remain official.It also doesn't contain the KNOX enabled bootloader.
Or you can also download MJ5 version firmware.It does contain KNOX enabled bootloader but you can roll back to old bootloader after following dr. ketan's instructions in one of his threads.
Both these firmwares wont increase your binary counter and will keep it official.
Also group play is nice
There is a way now in application managerr where you can move apps from device to sd directly.. and so its pretty nice :thumbup::thumbup:

Hi!
I was running stock 4.1.2 and was rushing to upgrade the 4.3 (I'm on N7105). Knowing what I know now, I should have read more about Samsung KNOX. I strongly advise you to read more about it especially if your phone is still under waranty.
Keep in mind that for now, it's NOT POSSIBLE to downgrade from 4.3 down to 4.1.2 or other versions. Tried it myself- doesn't work.
However, what just might save you is if you have a nandroid backup of your last system (like 4.1.2).
Hope this helps...
Cheers

[Q] New To Andriod And Need Urgent Help

first of all hello to the best Team in the world and happy new year
i am new to andriod and i have a galaxy note 2 N7100 and i heard that rooting the phone gives more advanced options i got the toolkit from your adorable web site and rooted my phone but because am beginner i want to upgrade my phone to 4.3 or 4.4 but i don't know know to do it . i only can deal with videos and pics guides that's why i liked the tool kit and rooted my phone so please can any one help me with details ( pic's or videos ) how can i upgrade my jelly bean to 4.3 or 4.4 ? or even is it better to stay on 4.1.2 or to upgrade ?
Thanks alot guys and waiting for reply
Whatever u do, don't upgrade to 4.3 by official updates because you will lose warranty. If you want to keep it clean then this is what u need to do:
1. Install custom recovery ( I recommend. Philz's)
2. Flash Mj5 bootloader ( very important so you can keep your warranty)
3. Now you can do whatever u like. Flash custom roms etc.
I know it's not much explained but I'm sure someone who's got more time will explain better. This is just quick guide so you can stay safe.

i already lost the warranty after makeing a custom rom for the 1st time
i already lost the warranty after makeing a custom rom for the 1st time now after losing the warranty i cant upgrade the official update it says that your phone is modified and software updates are not available so i want to update manually by a custom rom
You only lose warranty if they can proof that you modified your mobile. If you have not used official 4.3 update then it's easy to restore your phone to stock with out any trace of previous modifications. Install custom recovery which is designed for installation of custom roms. Read this forum and you will find all the answers. Remember don't use official 4.3 updates for now until your knowledge is a little bigger. Regards

I would go for 4.3. 4.4 is not stable enough for everyday use, and 4.1.2 is slower than 4.3. Find some ROM with Note 3 pack, you will have more options and features and they're pretty bug free.
If your new to android have a read of some of Dr ketan's guides. They are very helpful and noob friendly. You won't go far wrong if you follow his advice

[Q] Will my 4.3 work with 4.1.1 baseband? SGH-T99?

The title explains my question, will sombody tell me the answer?
i updated my s3 (SGH-T999) to 4.3 without sim unlocking and now the i downgrade i keep loosing imei (null / null) :crying:
I did a backup of my EFS on 4.3 and tryed restoring it on 4.1.2 and 4.1.1 and it just didnt work
i heard on a thread that if you are on 4.1.2 and want to sim unlock your device you dont have to downgrade firmware to 4.1.1 you'll just have to downgrade the baseband thank you for your atention i hope to see an answer soon
It won't, and if I'm not mistaken the unlock method won't work at all if you do the official 4.3 update, even if you downgrade basebands

[q]how i can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1 firmware SGH-t999 ?

This has been discussed many times.. You cannot downgrade the full firmware, but you can flash a 4.1.x ROM
