How to downgrade my N7100 from 6.0.1 to 4.3 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have a N7100 on the android 6.0.1 version (Resurrection Remix Rom), I want to downgrade it because of many bugs.
How should I proceed ? Do I have only flash the stock 4.3 rom via Odin and after this do a full wipe on recovery mode ? Knox will appear ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

[Q] i'm selling 7105 i'd like to get back stock rom?

Hello guys,
i'm selling my note 7105 cause i bought OPPO find 7..
here i've a 4.4.2 slimkat rom and i'd like to give it to a friend but with stock rom ( he doesn't play with roms..)
now.. i've read here and there and it's not possible to go back on 4.3 ? is there anyt STABLE (real stable ) custom rom then?
i've read that 4.4.2 official is going to be out soon so this might " save " me !
is there any way to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3?
is this Ditto DN3 v4 RC2 worth to try ?
should i install some earlier bootlader if i decide to get back on stock rom?
thanks for all info
What bootloader do you have? If you went from 4.1.2 to slimkat then you should be able to flash any stock rom. The problem is going back to 4.1.2 with the 4.3 bootloader. If you install dn3 you will either have to flash stock 4.3 first or use agni/devil kernel to get wifi.

lol.. don't laugh...
i thought that being on 4.4.2 implies i've that bootloader
i tried to find the version on recovery and system info but,...??
where can i find the info abou tmy booloader? i know it sounds noob ... have patience
thanks
Something like this should tell you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.info
AFAIK you can't flash bootloader through recovery so if you were on 4.1.2 when you flashed slimkat you will still be on that bootloader. You should be able to flash any stock through odin if you are on 4.1.2 but if you were on
4.3 you might not be able to flash 4.1.2. If you do flash 4.3 with odin you will get knox

i installed that app and at OPERATING SYSTEM info i get:
OS NAME Kit Kat
Os Version 4.4.2
Boot Loader Version N7105XXDMC3
.... ???
I'm pretty sure dmc3 is 4.1.2 so you should be able to flash anything. I'd flash the stock 4.1.2 for your country with odin run triangle away then unroot and everything will be stock

[Q] Need help about stock 4.2.2 firmware

Hi,
I've got some issues about stock 4.2.2 firmware. My phone lagged on AOSP roms(4.4.2 Kitkat) and someone told me to try flashing an older stock 4.2.2 firmware before flashing AOSP roms.
My questions are :
-Where can find 4.2.2 firmware to download and which one do I have to use and how to?
-Do I have to go back to 4.2.2 official ROM first before flashing or I can just flash it even i'm on AOSP 4.4.2 Kitkat rom.
Please explain every steps and sorry if it was stupid questions.
Thank you so much

1)Actually bnb2 Official Firmware is WORST ever firmware update... right now best is K3 firmware u can download it from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9082
2) No need to go back to stock for installing different ROM...Best is flash Philz Recovery can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725019
This Recovery has a option called Install New Rom which cleans everything which is necessary for a New Rom To work flawlessly.
OR ELSE
First go to Recovery do Factory Reset,Wipe Cache,Dalvic Cache, Install The New Rom and after that Factory Reset,Wipe Cache,Dalvic Cache and then Reboot..Enjoy!!

Can anyone help / enlighten me?

Phone not booting up after installing Omega rom v29

Hi all,
I just downloaded and installed v29 (4.4.2), upgrading from v19 (4.1.2). I followed the instructions of formatting /system, /preload and /cache and the Dalvik cache. Now the phone turns on but is stuck in the booting screen. I can still access CWM but reinstalling v29 hasn't helped. Hopefully I can recover from this situation? Thanks in advance for your help!
Update: I just formatted the /sdcard and reinstalled the rom, but phone is still stuck on the booting screen.

Don't flash 4.4.2 Stock, this way you will get Knox counter.
Which means once rooted, your phone's warranty will be void.
Flash the 4.1.2 stock. Then flash a custom ROM and MJ5 Bootloader.

Is there no way to come to Omega v29 from stock 4.4.2? I just finished downloading it. plus the 4.1.2 version is not up on sam mobile.

There is.
This is not what I ment
4.4.2 has KNOX 2.0, which has a nasty warranty void next to it, that cant be nulled.
Unlike Binary Count on 4.1.2, or 4.2?
I found 4.1.2 on Sammobile.
Said counter is in Download mode.
i have the same problem, i flash 4.4.2 from 4.3 omega rom. but it keeps on boot screen with omega guy walking. what did i do wrong? how can i solve this? i am trying to flash rom from my external sd card.

Dowgrading from 5.1.1 to 4.4.2 and then installing Note 4 Mini ROM for good

Hi Friends,
I recently flashed French 5.1.1 update on my N3N and rooted through Chainfire's method. File were taken from autoroot chainfire's website. I am facing an issue as listen below:
Once the device is rooted, I download Root checker which says device is rooted. I run some root apps and yes the apps work. However, when I factory reset through the option in settings, the phone kinda hard reset. It optimizes all apps when it does first login which usually doesn't happen when resets. Moreover, once the phone starts, to my surprise, the phone has lost root. None of the rooted files work and root checker says it's not rooted. And then I have to re-root. Why is this happening?
Now, I want to downgrade and install v10 Note 4 mini ROM. May I request the gurus here to guide me. I have installed this ROM on my other N3N and it's working fine, however that phone is on 4.4.2. Will downgrading my lollipop based phone to kitkat cause the phone to brick or something? And the basic procedure to downgrade includes:
1) Install TWRP recovery
2) Wipe cache data etc
3) install Note 4 Mini ROM OR I should first install official KitKat ROM and then wipe it all and install the custom (note 4 mini) ROM.
Would appreciate your help here.
Thanks.
First of all NEVER factory reset your Rooted Phone unless it is unrooted otherwise you will always face this type of problem.
Samsung device is Hard to brick so just flash your 4.4.2 kitkat desired country Firmware using odin and enjoy

Thanks shyboy for your reply. In one of the threads, I figure out CF autoroot was partially running. It did not give complete root access to the phone and hence the problem arise. I installed TWRP redovery and copied latest SuperSU in the sdcard. Then through TWRP, I flashed latest SuperSU and voila, I had my phone fully rooted.

BDW, what if I want to come to official Lollipop 5.1.1 over my Note 4 mini ROM. Should I just ODIN the official 5.1.1 firmware or do I need to first wipe it through TWRP and then flash the official ROM?
Sorry if I am bothering you. Just wanted to know.
make a backup of your internal sd card
1. boot in recovery mode
2. wipe all (data and system)
3. power off (pull out battery)
4. power on in download mode ( "Vol-" + "Home" + "Power button")
5. flash stock 4.4.2 via odin e perform the first boot.
6. boot in download mode, flash cf autoroot and reboot
7. flash the recovery you want (kitkat version)
8. enjoy

Suppose brother you are on 4.4.2 base firmware and you are flashing Note4 mini rom you can take backup using twrp recovery, and can flash S5 custom rom for N3N which has base firmware of 4.4.2 but if you want to flash new Version of RoM 5.1.1 you have to use odin then i think you cant use Note4mini rom because it is based on kitkat hope it helped
just press thanks button rather than a reply

You can downgrade to KitKat. There is a thread on the forum who talks about that.
Please help with the reference link.

I don't know whether you have done it or not. But if not, beware, there is a risk of losing imei while downgrading from 5.1.1 to lower versions. I would suggest making a EFS backup first. By doing that you can restore your IMEI in case you lose it.
Download EFS backup apps from google play store.
