[Q] Downgrade to 4.1.2/4.3 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
I was using 4.4.2 PC1 in my note-2. I was able to downgrade to 4.1.2 and upgrade to 4.3 using mobile odin and the methods, which was found here in xda. But, I feel, I need to go back to 4.4.2 again. After upgrading to 4.3, I took a nandroid backup. My question is, after flashing 4.4.2 again and if I want to go back to 4.3 again, can I used the 4.3 nandroid backup? or should I use the mobile odin method only to downgrade again?
Please help!!!!

upgrade from

Recently brought my GS3 I747M back to life from a hard brick... and I flashed it to stock 4.0.4 rom via odin when doing so.Would I be able to upgrade it directly to stock 4.4.2 using odin? Or do I need to upgrade it to earlier version first, like 4.1 and 4.3? (phone is already rooted, so cant do it thru OTA). Thanks!
You can flash it with odin, but will need to factory reset too.
sure worked, thanks!

downgrade from Lollipop (5.0) to Kitkat (4.4.2)

I have a question, I have rooted N900T, and upgraded to Lollipop FOB6 by using Odin CF method.
before using Odin, I backed up my KK rom.
my question is, since the bootloader is updated on the 5.0 version, if I want to downgrade to my previous kitkat rom, can I flash my previous backed up rom through twrp recovery? or the process will break the phone?
what if I do a complete wipe and flash 4.4.4 through Odin? I've heard since they're different bootloader, I can not downgrade.
plz help
I downgraded down to 4.4.2 NK3 Kitkat last night from 5.0 lollipop using Odin on the PC. It worked perfectly fine with no issues. Not sure if you can restore your Kitkat backup though. I would suggest doing a clean install with the 4.4.2 NK3 tar file found here on XDA.

thanks for the reply, I think that's the safest way.

Sure do your backup via twrp or your choice of recovery, save your kk rom to it in a backup. Then do the same in your LP rom. I do this with all 3 OS roms B6 kk rom, Alliance 5.0 rom and resurrection remix 6.0.1 rom it just takes a few min to do in liu of the restore time it takes.
