Hi , went from stock (bell sgh i317m ) kitkat to lolipop using cm 12 nightlies , is it possible to downgrade or will i brick my phone.
Some people say yes , and others no.
some advice would be nice ....thanks.....
With TWRP recovery installed. .. (latest version)....
You can wipe the device and flash just about any other rom in this section. ..regardless of bootloader versions because the other roms don't contain that image. ..
You won't brick anything if you follow the rom flashing instructions from the OP of the thread you wish to try....g

hello guys i want to flash a stock rom on my note ii and my roms in 4.1.2 and last words of base band is f3. can i flash other roms with other base band on it? can i downgrade it? if i flash other stock roms efs not erase?
Just use any of the roms you like in the development forum. Make a backup of els file before flashing new ROM. And downgrading is a bit tricky so reap op carefully before doing anything.

hi i recently rooted official mk4 4.3 build on my note 2.
i want flash a custom rom on it.
however i've read about bootloader creating a problem?
can someone guide me?
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.

Hi guys , I have a bell galaxy note 2 (i317m) which I upgraded to cm12 (5.1.1) nightlies cyannogenmod using latest TWRP recovery .
This is the story after I upgraded to cm12 5.1.1 my model number now says gt-n7105 . I ve lost functionality of the s pen and want to go back to kitkat, everything else works
I played around with lollipop for a few weeks but there are a few things about it that irk me , so I want to downgrade back to kikkat .
My main question is can I downgrade using a stock bell kitkat rom , using odin or will that brick my phone ?
My build number is 51.1 LMVF7V if that is important .
I don t know if my bootloader is locked but , I guess not because i did put cm12 on it , and if it was locked it would have bricked.
If you need more information , i will find it.....thanks for any help in advance.....
signed irked....lol
Hi Guys,
I can't seem to find AT&T Galaxy SIII(SGH-I747) Stock ROM 4.4.2
Plz help me. Im stuck
Att never released a complete rom after 4.1.1. All rom updates have been don via ota updates.
Look in the general section for a rom that can be flashed via twrp.
