[Q] Back to stock (KitKat)

Hi guys, hoping to get the Galaxy S5 tomorrow. So I wanna sell my Note 2.
I need to go back to stock to do this (not rooted, stock firmware)
I am currently running a 4.4 stock based custom ROM
I know with some Samsung's you can't downgrade after getting 4.4 firmware installed on your device.
Or can I download 4.3 firmware from sammobile and flash through odin without issues?
If this is the case. Would someone please Tell me a link to a 4.4 stock firmware I can flash through Odin please? Can't seem to find one.
PLUS any recommendations to prevent bricking my phone will be greatly appreciated!

Yes you can downgrade after a 'Custom' 4.4.2 to 4.3, not sure about official because it is still not available. Try flashing it with Mobile Odin Pro instead of PC Odin.
Note: Backup your all content and EFS as well to save signs of your phone.

[Q] Waiting to upgrade

A noob question...
4.4.2 just arrived for nordic countries. Since I have a custom 4.3 ROM I have to flash the new 4.4.2 with ODIN, that much I understand.
My question is: WHEN there comes a custom ROM made from stock 4.4.2 will I be able to flash that from recovery or do I still have to flash the stock 4.4.2 first?
I want to know if I should be patient or just go for it... I really don´t want to go back to all Note 2 stuff if I know there will be a flashable deodexed, rooted, stock ROM in due time. My current setup is too Note 3-ish to just let go...
Best regards

[Q] Galaxy TabPro 10.1 T520 unroot

hello,
i want to unroot my device and restore completely to stock and having hard time finding any tutorials on how to do it. Im running 4.4.2 stock rooted rom build# KOT49H.T520UEUAND1.
my specific questions is where do i get the stock original firmware for USA Wifi version, how to install it and how do i take off my TWRP custom recovery and restore it to stock.
Im not new to the whole rooting and unrooting deal as ive done it with numerous smartphones with no problems just i dont want to mess anything up with my tablet. a simple guide will be satisfactory thanks!

Go to sammobile.com. Click on the Firmware Tab and search for your model. If you are in the USA, use the cellular South firmware. Download it. Unzip the file. Use Odin to load it on your tablet (if you need instructions, let me know). It will wipe your recovery and unroot the tablet. You should also factory reset before and after loading. You will be back to stock

hey thanks man!

Thanks, I had same question.

Please help!

Hi,
Go to Settings - About Phone and see your baseband.
Good luck

Thanks!

Note 3 on 5.0 trying to go back to stock ROM

Hello everyone,
I have a TMO Note 3 running Lollipop at this moment, the phone is rooted, but I tried flashing a new ROM and it soft bricked on me. ODIN stopped at the very beginning of flashing and just bricked the phone. Also TWRP was not working either and still not, but I was able to bring the phone back from the semi-dead state it was in. I want to flash it again but now I don't know if I did something wrong (most likely) and I just need some feedback on what to do. I wanna go to a stock rom so i can upgrade to the actual Lollipop Rom from T-mobile but I was also wondering if I can just flash a stock 5.0 rom that runs better than the one I have. Additionally, I just cant get TWRP to stick at all; every time I try to flash it and try to go into recovery, phone goes into boot loop. Here are some screenshots of the current "about phone" section. I am sorry if i am not asking the right questions but I gotta start somewhere. Thanks everyone in advanced!

If you can get into download mode, flash the latest stock rom from Sammobile.com.
