[q] downgrade from official 4.3 xxuemk4 n7100

Hello friends I need a little help in downgrading my N7100
I updated my note 2 to the latest official update 4.3 MK4 by downloading it from samfirmware. I installed it n it was working good. Next I tried rooting it with the procedure on this page http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/5...e2-n7100-root-android43-xxuemk4-jellybean.htm
which was by CF AUTO ROOT method. The superuser app was injected in it but knox prevented itfrom running everytime. I tried it twice but invain. So I wasn't successful in rooting it n I'm running my phone without root n the bootloader now shows that the warranty is void .(.knox is stuck in there). I tried downgrading it to official 4.1.2 by odin but it doesn't go through n I had to flash official 4.3 again.
I need help my friends.. if anybody can tell me how to Reber back to 4.1.2 or if I can root my official 4.3
Please help me

Downgrading from 4.3
Hi, I flashed DN3 and I flashed MJ5 bootloader. I flashed WanamLite MK4 V4.2 Android 4.3 previously too. Is it possible for me to downgrade? I need to restore to factory setting since I'm going to send my phone for warranty.

I am newbee, can you please explain me how to downgrade from XXUEMK4 (India) to MJ5 bootloader. Please explain what is DN3 and how to flash it.

DN^is a rom, ditto note.. It has note 3 features. Like wanam or phoenix or dr.ketan's custom rom..
you can download it from the forum. just look for it.. And you can flash it with a custom recovery like philz touch or twrp..
This is all I am assuming that you know how to root and you have any version of any custom recovery.
If not, you can read dr. ketan's tutorial in the forum..

I'm not sure about that mate. I was told downloadable. But my downgrade fail for unknown reason. So I decided to flash stock 4.3, and the process fail too. I'm not sure if it's Windows 8, or it's my cable because everything goes fine with Windows 7. Then I flash again at Windows 8, everything turn to be fine. So I guess it's my cable and charger port issue. I will not downgrade to 4.1.2 since I just realize that my warranty expired 3 days ago.

The bootloader is stuck to new Knox so I advise to try to flash through Odin any room that have no bootloader in it. that means any room included stock. every attempt to flash bootloader will fail unles someone develop a method to enable us to do that
In regards with root.. after you have used CF method you must install SuperSu from market and that will bypass Knox in disable super user because come from a normal channel

Bricked my S4 SGH-M919 :( Please help?

Hi all,
I've kind of backed myself into a corner here after a bit of "experimenting"
I just purchased an S4 SGH-M919, came with stock 4.2.2 Jellybean.
- Opened it up and rooted it via auto-root + Odin.
No issues.
Then instead of manually flashing a rom, I downloaded a play store app called 'Recovery Tools', and tried to flash TWRP onto the phone.
-Stuck at Samsung screen with blue 'booting recovery...' forever.
I then (stupidly?) tried to flash 4.4.2 onto the phone. *not sure if this is stupid because I read T-Mobile has an unlocked bootloader?
So flashing 4.4 T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Stock Firmware (4.4.2 - M919UVUFNB4) PASSES with odin, but the phone is still 'messed up'.
I can access recovery mode, but the phone will not boot past the 'Samsung' logo, and even after a factory data reset and deleting users.
I've also tried flashing back to 4.2.2, and odin fails.
Please help I can't afford another device and I'm now phoneless. Not sure where to go from here and could really use some direction..

Just adding that I think this happened because I accidentally flashed the most recent version of TWRP which doesn't work on the s4.
At this point I can't get any stock ROM to load.
Any idea folks? Any guidance greatly appreciated here..

You might want to try installing one of the cm or aosp based jflte roms. they seem to load easier. After that you can try another rom if you need to. Make sure you are giving it enough time to boot up the first time after a flash. It can commonly take 10 minutes for a stock touchwiz rom to load first time around. Edit: or just odin the stock nk2 firmware from here and start over. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508

Screen just goes black, IF it gets past 'Samsung' logo, depending on what build I'm flashing. I was once able to get all the way into setup, then the phone completely went black again. Pretty sure it's not a hw issue because the phone was working fine until I started all of this.
Can I just load a jflte rom via Odin? That's about all I'm able to do currently.

At this point I would odin nk2 firmware. after that odin twrp.

Okay Ultra, appreciate your advice - I'll try this now.
To confirm - after flashing nk2, should the phone be able to fully boot? Or will I have to twrp first before I can expect it to fully boot?
Thanks again

It will boot without twrp

Make sure you are using a very good condition usb cable. I've had some serious odin frustrations due to a poor usb cable

That worked. Thanks so much!
Now I've already rooted with cf-auto once again, I shouldn't have any problem loading TWRP now right?

Right. Should be good to go

Stay away from twerp, use CWM it's more reliable and it won't brick phones. Those extras cooked into twrp make it flaky.

Read the first post. He odined 442 to it. You cant go backwards. After that point it is best to just update to the latest complete firmware bootloader and all, just as he did and succeeded.

Everthing over 4.3 has knox bootloader. and prevents downgrading. However i don't know why anyone would want to run 422 these days. The phones run smoothest with the latest nk2. And everyone overreacts about the m919 knox bootloader.

Indeed, however if someone strongly preferred to downgrade from 4.4.2 (M919UVUFNB4) to 4.2.2 (M919UVUAMDL) would they need to first flash the 4.4.2 bootloader with the 4.2.2 bootloader, thereby replacing the 4.4.2 bootloader with the 4.2.2. bootloader, in order to then allow Odin to successfully flash from 4.4.2 (M919UVUFNB4) to 4.2.2 (M919UVUAMDL) - is that correct?

[Q] Can you install a custom ROM without being S-OFF?

I've recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One M8, and I noticed that you have to pay in order to S-OFF your device. I wanted to know if you can install a custom ROM without being S-OFF?

You can but as far as I'm aware it's only up to 4.4.3. I'm using Sinless Rom 4.4.3 but really want to go 4.4.4. I did install a couple but had no WiFi connection on them I'm going to s-off with Sunshine soon when I've got the money. Hopefully a dev will prove me wrong and say you can install 4.4.4 without being s-on. It could be that my firmware is really outdated so in which case I'd have to go back to stock and update it. Anyway hope my gibberish helped in some way

I'm trying to understand what you are saying here. What is only up to 4.4.3? Stock M8's have been updated not only to 4.4.4, but to 5.0 (Lollipop).
If you are on a 4.4.3 ROM, and going to 4.4.4 breaks WiFi, you in fact have outdated firmware.
Return to stock ROM and stock recovery and install official OTAs up to current (5.0 Lollipop) to run the current custom ROMs, without having to s-off.

Yes and No.
You can flash any custom ROMs meant for the M8, meaning they will flash. But some things might be broken (extreme long boot times, broken WiFi) if you "firmware" is not up to date.
Reason for that is that when going between major updates (Android builds 4.4.2 to 4.4.2, etc.) HTC has been updating a collection of modules (aside from the ROM itself) commonly called "firmware" that includes hboot, radio, WiFi, and other stuff. Many of these partitions are write protected. Theefore, they can only be updated either by official means (such as OTA updates) or otherwise you need s-off to "manually" update them.
One easy question, is your phone already running stock Lollipop? If so, you can just flash any custom ROM meant for the M8.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I only said 4.4.3 as I came from 4.4.2 originally. I did suspect my firmware had something to do with it hence why I said hopefully someone could prove me wrong and so they have?

No need to return to stock recovery and OTA, then. Your firmware is up to date.

Just got note 4 still on KITKAT

I got the note 4 I am on kit kat N2K. I want to root but wanted to know the best way to go about it. Root on kitkat, then flash a rom to get on lollipop? Or accept the lollipop update, and then root and flash? Please advise thank you !

You'd have to decide what you want the most.
With Lollipop you get improved Sprint Wi-Fi Calling and latest security and bug fixes. The battery usage is notoriously higher in Lollipop and the fabled material theme is ugly to many.
KitKat has better battery and theme. Until the recent Android 5.1.1 updates, Lollipop bugs had many utilizing fixes to make Lollipop more like KitKat. The thing most important to consider is that if you upgrade to Android 5.1.1, the bootloader will inhibit you from Odin'g back to KitKat unless you use a specific Odin tar for OB7 to OG5 but it doesn't support the most recent OJ6 update. It's said you could just update the modem to OJ6 but I'd think you have to at least Odin the OB7 lollipop tar before doing that.
I wouldn't recommend rooting and then flashing a ROM outside of the base you're running. Use Odin to update to the equivalent base. OJ6 would be the latest but bootloader inhibits downgrade to KitKat.
I'd suggest rooting KitKat and trying it or a custom NK2 ROM. Next you could try OB7 to see if Lollipop is to your liking. Then you could decide if the latest is what you prefer.
Developer support is currently at OG5 and OJ6; Android 5.1.1 Keep in mind that Android 5.1.1 stock requires kernel with root exploit and SuperSU zip flashed in custom recovery to root. The updates prior can be rooted with CF Auto Root or just Odin custom recovery and flashing custom ROM or SuperSU zip to root stock.
What to flash? You'd have to ask a specific question once you have a better idea of what you prefer or direction you're starting at.

Thank you for taking the time to type all that up for me! I am going to stay stock until the 14 days incase the phone has some problems before rooting but my brother and dad have note 4 also and both on 5.1.1 and phones are way smoother than mine on kit kat so I would want to be on the latest and have root. I also saw there is a note 5 rom which looks great as well. So is it cool if I PM you in a week or so to help me? I know there are threads but I dunno where to begin . Appreciate it!
Thank you,
Indels

Yes, you could PM. Are the other Note 4 phones rooted or plain stock?
Currently, the Note 5 port is one update behind latest. Maybe it will update.
You don't have to stay with KitKat. Updating won't void your return exchange. But I would recommend a factory reset before making the jump to Lollipop. You can take incremental updates over the air; KIES or Odin stock tar OJ6 from general forum would get you updated to latest in one session.
Just don't Odin custom recovery if you're concerned about Knox trip during your return period.
To get started you'll need the Samsung driver for your PC to use with KIES or Odin. You'll find that here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-N910PZWESPR# Run the .exe file on PC to install.
Here's a link to TWRP for Note 4:
https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img.tar
Download Odin (below) and make a folder for it and put the TWRP file and stock tar in it. Find the latest tar in general forum and check the md5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51767811&postcount=1
You can also download the zip for ROM you wish to install. Typically, you'd flash the tar that corresponds to the ROM you wish to run for maximum compatibility so you could wait on the tar and zip. Any of these could change but preparation wouldn't hurt.

Yeah the other 2 notes are on 5.1.1 stock. I am still on kitkat, update notification for lollipop is annoying tho I can't find a way to get rid of it lol. I get good battery on Kitkat is the phone still good on 5.1.1? Is root out for 5.1.1 as well? I would assume so. Thank you for the links! !

Battery life for initial Lollipop was not so good until Beastmode kernel came out starting in OG5. I've heard OJ6 is even better but I haven't tried it.
Like I said, KitKat has better battery but worse Wi-Fi Calling feature.
Touchwiz 5.1.1 is rooted with custom kernel and SuperSU zip or any custom ROM is pre-rooted. Just don't use Chainfire auto root for Note 4 on that.

"But I would recommend a factory reset before making the jump to Lollipop."
So I should factory reset on kit kat and then go to lollipop if I understand this part correctly? I have to notification to go to 5.0 right now. I can odin twrp once I go to lollipop too right? Sorry for so many questions just confused. I have not rooted a phone in quiet some time :fingers-crossed:

Correct. You shouldn't have any problem rooting once you update, even latest update.
You'll have to reapply TWRP after update. OTA updates are incremental but Odin or KIES will allow you to jump to latest update available. Currently, that's OJ6.

OTA updates are incremental so if you catch it before it updates beyond OB7, you can still Odin back to KitKat. You should go into app manager and disable software update package in all apps and turn off auto update.
You'll need to factory reset before going back to KitKat. If you've updated past OB7, it's too late.

If you plan to root stock KitKat, use Chainfire auto root in Odin and then Odin TWRP; custom ROMs are already rooted, just Odin TWRP.

BOB7 was the last bootloader that was a necessary component for loading a lollipop rom, AND didn't have Heavy duty root restrictions and either it or its progeny three months later was the last to not have a locked bootloader. That is where once you have their bootloader you cannot flash back to a previous one. For sure it was off by COG5 and has we all know they instituted some root restrictions that took a long time to get around and even longer time to do so with an "apparent" seandroid enforcing kernel.
All that is to say again, that, whatever you actually are on, if it is still BOB7 or earlier, then when it comes time that you want a 5.1.1 rom custom stock or otherwise, flash the appropriat baseband version of the bootloader that @tx_dbs_tx puts out it will keep you able to do the same things but without locking you into a change you cannot undo. I don't know if this will be an option for marshmallow when the note 4 gets it. If so great if no wait & update late.

SO been a while! I am now on 6.0.1 and I had a question. Is it possible still to go back to 4.4.4? I know the bootloader has changed since as mentioned in your earlier post but I wanna know if it is possible. I wanna test something on kitkat for my tech channel! I know I have to flash the old bootloader and modem as well but not sure if it will actually work!! :highfive:

I don't think it would have been possible to have gon from KK - LP - MM while preserving a KK Bootloader, and if I am correct in that you won't bee able to Odin back to KK unles you can get reliable instructions on how to seperately flash bootloader, which might be a risky venture, I simply don't know there. You also may be able to get a custom rom which is KK based but I would discuss trying to use it on a phone that has been updated to MM with the DEV if they still offer support. Whatever you do be cautious and well informed before proceeding and know your risks, otherwise it can get expensive.

I would have thought that it would have been impossible to flash 2 a lollipop and then a marshmallow ROM from a KitKat ROM while preserving the KitKat bootloader. If I'm correct in this then you will not be able to Odin Flash from your marshmallow ROM back to stock KitKat firmware. That is unless you know of a way to separately and reliably Flash your bootloader. You may be able to use a custom rom that incorporates KitKat, but I would be careful about deploying around like that after having updated to marshmallow firmware, and I would discuss it with the developer if they're still offering support for it. Whatever you do be cautious and well informed before moving forward otherwise it can get expensive!

It can be done but not as you would think. The KK bootloader wouldn't flash but read the instructions in this post.

Edit: if you still have that KK backup, you could restore that instead of the KK ROM but still need the Lollipop custom kernel and Lollipop bootloader.

Like I said I don't know anything about bootloader switching betweem KK -LP -MM. So I cannot comment effectively on whether or not it would besafe or what you might lose or gain by these methods. Just don't know.

Does a stock Rooted 6.0.1 Exist?

As the title says, just looking for a stock and rooted Marshmallow, I will go on and remove the stuff I don't want. I have not seen one or my google skills are failing...

Or a quick way to go from CM 13 to rooted stock...I really don't want to have to go through the whole process....I will if that's the only way though...
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

This might be it. Post in this thread and inquire before you do anything. You might need to flash and Unlock, again, but once you Unlock, you might be able to use it Unlocked/Rooted as-is. Again, though, inquire there.

Which CM13 version are you using? Have you upgraded the bootloader to MM yet? If you are using an older version of CM13 that was on the LP bootloader then you'll have to go through the unlocking process once more with the LP-MM hybrid firmware. If you have already done that and you have the MM bootloader then you can flash JasmineROM or PaulPizz as a close-to-stock ROM. Jasmine is probably the closest to stock.

I have a copy of PF3 firmware that's almost stock. It has busybox, deodexed, and zip-align. To root, you could flash su zip for system-less or just install su from playstore. It still has Knox and all bloat.
