I believe that if it is official 4.3 you cannot downgrade.

Is it a clone?

If it is a clone is very well disguised, and it have the same SoC (CPU, RAM, Internal Memory, etc)
And it is impossoble to downgrade from 4.3?

You can downgrade from 4.3 but you cannot downgrade the bootloader, that will be stuck

Ah the official stock images will have a bootloader bundled in it. So that maybe where its going wrong. If you install a custom recovery and put a custom rom (arhd19 or wanamlite3.9 are both android 412) that might be the easiest but I would only guess that yhey would work with the mk3 bootloader but it would probably burn the efuse voiding warranty.

Can the mk3 bootloader be downgraded? I wss under the impression that once upgraded to a mk bootloader you were stuck with it as theyre not downgradable

Ok Bro. All you need is to install a Firmware supported by your phone.
I had an N7100 with exact downgrade problem and was fixed by checking different Firmwares. you can install another if you like, european firmware maybe not compatible with your phone. DOWNLOAD Firmware which has size more than 1000 MBs.
Head Over to this Link and Download the Firmware with starting words "MSR",
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571281
It will surely work.
I have tried all of these 4.1s but the MSR-N7100XXDMC3-201304291545.zip worked.
a "THANKS" will make my Day

That MSR version's size is greater than a 1000MBs which means that it has all the required files, which are needed to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2.
So definitely check it out and share the result with us:highfive:

Not sure but it worked for me. I had the N7100 made in korea version which is an international version. I upgraded to 4.3 chinese version. Then I wanted to downgrade to 4.1.2, I tried the chinese 4.1.2 version and two others. Which encountered some errors in flashing. Then I tried the MSR version which worked just fine.
Everytime I was flashing the 4.1.2 versions other than the MSR it incremented the binary counter by 2.

Hi everyone. Finally i could flash the note 2 :victory: but i still dont get it why i cant flash through odin
This is how i do it.
1. Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery through.
2. Flash the TWRP 2.6 Recovery.zip through CWM Recovery. (Don't know i i cant flash this recovery directly on odin
3. Flash a CyanogenMod Nightly ROM
4. Install Odin Mobile.
5. Flash the lastest official rom by Samsung for Europe.
6.Yeh I have a official rom on my mobile :victory:
Now I have one problem, when i try to make a call i cant hear the people on the other side and vice versa. I know the mic and speaker are working, if o try to make a call through skype it works perfectly!
Obs.On every ROM i have this problem, on Stock ROMs by Samsung, Europe and Chinese Version and also on CyanogenMod.
When i try to flash the European ROM on Odin it fails when try to write the modem.bin.
I can flash the Chinese ROM without any problems on Odin.
I'm using the lastest ROM JB 4.3 from Samsung
What is the problem now?

The MSR firmware zip link no longer exists?
I have Chines SN N7100 and screwed with no Google accout

Can't return back to stock ROM

Hello, could please someone help me with this terrible problem? I have Galaxy S4 mini (i9195 LTE version). I flashed clockwork recovery, make a root and install CyanogenMod 11 (everything works fine). But I need to complaint this device back to the shop, because it has problems with random restarts (and I was thinking than maybe a flashing of custom ROM can help, but no). But when I connect device to the PC with Odin (3.09, but I tried 3.07 and others), select original ROM (which I downloaded from sammobile) and click Start, process fails after few seconds (I tried all of USB ports on my laptop and I tried same steps on my second PC), but with no success
Here is the log from ODIN:

See that "Auth" there? Have you allowed access to your phone via USB? First thing that comes to mind for me.

Because you have latest knox bootloader. Do you see that line ""bootloader ap swrev : 2"" in your download mode.....that indicates it.
So this means you cannot downgrade to jellybean roms. Do not try to downgrade because repeated failures of odin might brick your device.
The mbn files odin flashes are all related to bootloader and corrupted bootloader = hard brick.
If you are desperate for jellybean flash the brazil ububne2 for I9195. Only that JB works. Good luck.

ericlnu: Thank you for reply. Did you mean USB debugging in phone settings menu? But I can't boot into system because the last flash causes FAIL message and I can only access to bootloader or download mode.
sasank360: Thank you very much for your support. I didn't know that. So you mean than I need to download Brazil ROM for i9195 (ububne2), which will only works? (and after that I can update to 4.4.2)? Or what Can I do after flashing ububne2 ROM if I need back original stock ROM from my operator?

You cannot go back any further. Jellybean ububne2 is the latest jb rom and only that works. Ofcourse you can flash any stock kitkat firmware if you wish. Good luck.

Thank you. I flashed ububne2 ROM to my Galaxy S4 mini and finally, ODIN didn't fails (and phone si working). But when I try to flash latest KitKat ROM (from my operator or any Jelly Bean ROM for my region), ODIN again fails with flashing. Ububne2 is right now the one and only ROM which I can flash to my device.

Try the knox free kk rom. worked fine for me. knox tripped and running cm11.

kev23m: You mean any unnoficial ROM? This is not sollution for me (I already tried CM11 ROM), but due to random restarts (which is probably hw problem) I need return back stock ROM and complaint device with my seller/shop (as a part of warranty issue).

Updating to NF4

I'm running stock bootloader from launch when I got the phone in 2013. Currently running 4.4.2 updated via Mexican firmware leak back in early spring. I need to update to NF4 bootloader. I keep getting error in Odin when I try to flash NF4. Do I need to be on NF1 before I can flash NF4?

You don't need to be on NF1 or any other baseband version in order to update
to the NF4 baseband.
Here is the direct download link for ODIN in case you need it, this version works
best for me: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Odin85.zip
Be sure you have the latest Samsung USB driver installed which can be found here:
http://tinyurl.com/nlnegmj and be sure to use the original samsung usb cable which
came with your phone for best results.
Good luck!

Tried to Unroot now bricked

I had Cynagenmod 4.4.4 on my S4. I wanted to unroot it as the release is buggy. So I went to a link on how to unroot at S4 phones and followed the steps and now I cant get it to unroot and its now stuck in a boot loop. I have tried ODIN multiple times and this is what I get.

If you got it in Dec then it was 4.3. If it was 4.4.4 when you rooted meant you took a OTA?

Yes you DL the wrong file. Im not too familar with Cynogen. So if it did update you to 4.4.4, you need to Odin the Official 4.4.4 Firmware

Cyanogen 4.4.4 won't require you to flash stock 4.4.4 because it does not update firmware If you had official 4.3 firmware when you flashed cm then you need to flash at least 4.3 firmware. That's why you are getting the error, you were trying to flash 4.2.2. You have the option of flashing 4.3 MK2, 4.4.2 NB4, or 4.4.4 NH7. You might as well flash NH7

One other thought: Just because the CM you are running has some bugs, perhaps another ROM would be a better experience than the bloated Samsung stock.
I'm very happy on Dirty Unicorns, but I've been thinking to try a very basic Slimkat or something like that, then theme it with Themer, and add any apps/functions needed.
Maybe something like that would work for you?

[Q] [SOLVED] GT-I9195 soft-brick after downgrade to stock rom

Hi guys,
i'm an idiot. I tried to flash trough Odin a stock firmware. However i made a mistake choosing the firmware version and the phone enter in soft-brick mode.
Now i am in this situation:
ODIN MODE
Product name: gt-i9195
current binary: custom
system status: custom
knox kernel: 0x0
knox warranty void: 0x1
csb-config-lsb: 0x30
bootloader rp swrev: 2
write protection: enable
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
Before making this issue i had Cyanogenmod 11 Snapshot 12-2014
1. I don't know the version of my firmware (I know, i am a stupid guy...)
2. If i try to flash something trough odin everything fail... (CMW recovery, stock recovery, pit file found on internet...)
3. i red many thread and i tried many things but nothing happen....
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot, really...

It happend to me few monts ago to, i mean the same msg appear
after my cable plugt ot of my lap top while it was instaling with odin.
So i just did it over agwin and no problem.
You need to find out which model you have, 90 or 95 or 92.
Then you go to Sammobile and download stock firmware
fir your model an flash it throo odin agin.

where can i find the model?
thanks

I would think that you should know which phone you bought?
Anyway it says under your phone battery is it Gt-I9195 or I9190 or I9192.
After you find out go to sammobile and enter your firmware and country.
Try to download the one wich is carrier branded, i mean if
your phone is bought in vodaphone or tmobile...ect.
Mine was bought in vodaphone(vip) so i use those ones.
But if your phone is ulocked, i think you should be able to
install firmware from any carrier.

I don't know exactly the country. I live in Italy but i bought this phone on Amazon. On the datasheet was written "Germany" but i never check if this was the truth....

All my problem happened because (i think...) i tried to flash a wrong version of firmware. I flash many firmware getting from the site "samsung-updates.com" for gt-i9195 but nothing works... I tried Italian version (1° step when the phone worked) and 3 version of the german firmware.

[SOLVED]
i found Philz touch recovery. I flash this recovery in odin (the last recovery that i've tried didnt' work...) and it works! After this flash i made a factory reset, i've flashed another rom and the phone is ressurect...
However now the cellular network doesn't work and also wifi and bluetooth connection....
