hello,
sure I'll have to flash the boot mj5 if you have not already installed and come 4.3.
mg1 is a modem, not a bootloader.
Steps you say are good for flash, keep the backups in the external sd card.
incuidos make full wipes and wipes internal sd car system and install from external sd card rom.
greetings and good luck

Don't flash bootloader first , back up your current rom and everything, make efs back up and such. Next you can either use latest Philz 6.26.6 or 6.41. Twrp use 2.7.0.2( whichever recovery you are comfortable with ). Do the wipes ( fully clean your internal memory ) If you need a guide on how to clean the phone using either of the recoveries click on my signature called JellyKat FAQ's you'll find the links to latest Recoveries as well as step by step instructions on how to flash bootloader and link to MJ5 bootloader ( it's a rar file , extract it and you'll get the .tar.md5 file and place that on Bootloader option in PC Odin). So after you've cleaned your phone flash the DN3 ROM let the phone boot up go through set up screen and such. Now your WiFi won't be working cause of old bootloader .so put your phone into download mods flash the new bootloader via PC Odin . Reboot and done. The only thing with MJ5 and other 4.3 bootloader is that you won't be able to charge your phone when powered off it reboots. If your warranty period is already over I suggest you flash the latest kitkat bootloader ND3 ( link to it is also in JellyKat FAQ - scroll to the bottom past version 5 and you'll find the newest bootloader). Only thing is that this is a Knoxed bootloader you can never go back to 4.1.2 only 4.4.2 or 4.3 ROMS would be possible . Good luck

[How-To][Tutorial] Downgrade Kit Kat 4.4.2 to JB 4.1.2

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !

Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.

Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

Could you go back to KK when you've downgraded to JB? Just asking this question early before the CM11 M8 release and the transition occurs.

So just by flashing the KK firmware in RSD without any changes to the xml? Sorry for the noob questions, I realize how easy this phone can be bricked and I want to avoid it.

I see don't why you would need to. It would be just like restoring stock firmware via RSD Lite.

When I try to flash this, I get Failure on 2/20, sbl1

Can you please post the error that is displayed in RSD Lite ?
The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.

I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!

For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

We have a wiener!
Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

[Q] Need some helpful advice on updating

It's been a long bloody time since I fiddled around with stuff on this phone. So I'm still on a rooted 4.1.2.
My questions are is it worth the upgrade to KitKat? And if so, what's the easiest way for me to do so? Hopefully retaining root, but not too necessary.
Help would be appreciated. For dummies.

Hey there.
I've gone through the process myself recently. Here is what you should do :
1. Download a custom rom from the Android Development forum. For example I downloaded the DN3 v5.2, but whatever catches your eye is fine.
2. Just follow the instructions the rom' s topic states.
3. If you have trouble getting to the recovery mode, you should flash with Odin some custom recovery. I like the cwm recovery.
4. Most guides provide info how to root your phone but if not then there is a topic in the Android Development forum about it.
I suggest backing up everything you can before- copy the phone contents to your pc, run the efs professional program to backup your efs.
Cheers

Hi there. I'm using n7100. N7105 is not far different to n7100. I've recently upgraded my phone from 4.3 to 4.4. I can't see a big difference from the 2 version except 4.4 consumes more battery than 4.3. I think you should consider 4.3 first before going straight to 4.4.
Just to inform you. What I know is...4.3 and 4.4 Official Rom already have Knox. So maybe you should read about them first. And Flashing Custom Recovery like PhilzTouchRecovery may trigger your Knox and increase your Binary Counter. And you may loose your warranty.
Flashing and rooting stock ROM is easy. But you have to do it right. What I did:
1. Download Odin
2. Download Samsung USB Drivers
3 Download 4.4 Firmware for my phone at sammobile.com
4. Install Samsung USB Driver
5. Run Odin
6. Put phone in Download Mode. Check if Odin successfully detected my phone
7. Once success, load the firmware to PDA Tab/Button. Don't touch anything
8. Press start. Wait till done. Wait till your phone reboot on it's own.
9. Once rebooted, check "About Device".
10. Done!
11. Download PhilzTouchRecovery 6.26
12. Put device into Download Mode again.
13. Run Odin again
14. Connect device again
15. Load PhilzTouchRecovery.tar.md5 to PDA Tab/Button
16. Uncheck Auto Reboot from Odin
17. Click start. Once Pass! Disconnect device.
18. Hold Power Button, DON'T RELEASE till you boot into your new recovery.
19. Once booted to PhilzRecovery, select reboot system now, but make sure not to overwrite with stock recovery or else you're PhilzRecovery will be reverted back to your stock recovery and you have to flash again your PhilzRecovery.
20. Once successfully flashed PhilzRecovery. Make all necessary backups (Full backup) you can't make EFS/MODEM backup yet because your not yet Rooted. You just installed Custom Recovery.
21. Once fully backed up. Copy backup files to your PC.
22. If you want to root again. Use CF-ROOT on 4.4.2 or use Dr.Ketan's Multi-Tool-Advance-V6 in 4.3. And follow their instructions.
Good Luck. HTH.

Very concise steps, cheers for that. Might give all that a try. Just need a safe rom. Not sure what. Is there anything else that needs flashing, like modem files or anything?
Thanks for both your comments.

Only the rom is necessary. Shouldn't flash modem and kernel etc unless something doesn't work.
All the roms published in xda are fine and safe. I just went for the topic with the most views.
If you want you can also download stock 4.3 from www.sammobile.com
Just choose your device and you get a file flashable with odin. About 1.9 giga download.

Your current Bootloader doesn't have Knox. So you better search for a 4.3 or 4.4 rom that doesn't flash new bootloader. I think i saw it somewhere in the development.If I were not mistaken, it should be flashed thru custom recovery. Coz it's a zip file.
All I know is all rom files from sammobile.com includes new kernel, bootloader and modem. So if you flash this roms from sammobile, you will have a new kernel, bootloader and modem. It's all up to you. If I were you, I'll stay away from Knox. So find a rom that supports your current bootloader. Maybe a custom one.
Maybe this will help...

Yeah nice find... It should work fine... you're on the 3rd status "For those are on the 4.1.2 bootloader the rom could work normally with AGNi Kernel include in rom". I think you should go for DEODEXED for more customization and etc. Read here: http://codeversed.com/deodexed-vs-odexed-rom/.
Make sure to follow instruction precisely and strictly. And make sure to copy your Backup to your PC right after you created it. Coz if you do a Full Wipe, Reset and Clean Install, it will also delete the backup that you made. Read the instructions multiple times carefully to avoid mislead. Once you done it successfully, you will be on Custom Rom and Custom Kernel. Sounds very techie. Hahaha. Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice.
Really, I wanted to upgrade to Android L but then I saw it wasn't out yet so I was like...huh, KitKat time?
I'm not even sure if it'll be any better than what I have! Mostly just want something with better battery life. Even though I just bought a new battery that lets me use my phone for 3 days and a half hour. I have noticed that Screen/Android seem to be bleeding power a lot more these days, so figured it might be worth a wipe and an upgrade.
In any case, whenever I do, I have some handy guides now. Cheers~

Upgrade firmware only to cof8?

Hello all,
I was wondering if I can upgrade the radio and bootloader to COF8 without running a 5.1.1 ROM. I am rooted with Ktoonz kernel with firmware AOC9 with 5.0.2 stock ROM.
TIA.
Bob

Once you upgrade bootloader , you can only run 5.1.1. Not sure about ONLY upgrading radio.

Thank You for the reply..
So once I ODIN the new firmware, I need to load a 5.1.1 rom before letting the phone boot up to the 5.0.2 rom?

You cannot boot a 5.0.2 ROM once you are on 5.1.1 firmware. That's the way it is as far as I know. There is no downgrade possible once you are on 5.1.1
Personally, I have no issues with 5.1.1. Great ROMs now. Great battery life. I personally do NOT care about Knox or the ability to run Samsung Pay. Just my 2c.

Thank You.
SO.. Once I start the firmware upgrade.. I must immediately load a 5.1.1 rom.
1. Upgrade the baseband... dont re-boot.
2. Upgrade the Bootloader... dont re-boot.
3. Install a 5.1.1 rom... reboot. Thinking of the ROM below.

I won't tell you what ROM to choose. Yes, coincidentally I am using the Xtrestolite rom with the alliance frameworks, but I have a lot of other favorites both on TMobile as well as the International galaxy S6 or S6 Edge roms. The key is the kernel which gives you root. The International ROMs as well as the Tmobile ROMs all work with the latest Unikernel version 6. Once in a while if you run into the no call audio issues, simply flash the latest no call audio fixes. I don't have links right now but most of the OPs on these ROMs will list the no call audio patch files basically to have Tmobile as well as Canadian variants work universally. So yes, simply use Odin to install the latest OF8 bootloader and modem, which I am on. Then flash any 5.1.1 ROM of choice followed by the version 6 Unikernel and boot up. Boots can take up to 10 minutes so do't be concerned you may be bootlooping.

Odin should say pass if a successful flash. Plus use the three button method....Power, home, volume up to boot to recovery and see TWRP. Best way to do the TWRP verification is to use three button, Pwr, home, volume down and hold to get to the first bootloader screen, then when you cancel out using volume down immediately hold the powr, home, volume up to get to the twrp screen. Make sure you have a 5.1.1 ROM of choice on your Phone along with the unikernal and before you upgrade, so that you have something to flash
If you are unsure about any of this, there are a slew of FAQ's on this stuff. So make sure you fully understand what you are doing and having the files in place PRIOR to doing anything. Like all the OPs state here, I'm not responsible for anyone bricking their phone or doing anything that makes their situation a now aht do I do to fix xyz issues. As long as you have the latest Odin mentioned in various OPs here, are comfortable with the process of using ODIN, testing their setup to make sure that your phone and cable and opertaing system have proper drivers to see your phone when in download mode etc, this should not be a big deal. That said, I don't know the level of your expertise in doing this so all I can do is warn you to check and double check you have everything in place before proceeding.

Post #8 details install guide for Tmobile users. This whole thread is a great guide for installing firmware and a 5.1.1 ROM. I'm not making a ROM recommendation since that's a personal issue, but this is a good starting choice so you should look at this thread and possible use this as a good guide for how to do stuff, including having this ROM on board you phone as a starting point. Just offering you everything I can think of before you jump in.

Thank You So much. Im gunna go for it.

[DISCONTINUED]Stock ROM VER:WW-15.0410.1803.51_ROM 4/12 Update TWRP Flashable!

Hey guys since i dint see any stock roms here, i decided to make one thats possible to flash from twrp, its 100% stock nothing added nothing taken from original rom, no firmaware files in rom zip.
I have the the US Asus Zenfone 4 pro , tested ONLY ON THIS DEVICE DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANY OTHER ZENFONE YOU HAVE BEEN WARN!!
How to Flash:
1.Unlock Bootloader Via Official App
2.Flash TWRP
3:Swipe to allow modifications to system VERY IMPORTANT! flash noverity.zip just incase you get stuck in a bootlooop.
4lace zip on your sdcard/internal Storage
5:Wipe Data/System
6:Flash rom zip (Ignore "unknow command error" after flashing, i need to cleanup the update script )
7.Reboot to system
I followed these step and rom flashed fine.
I might try and do some other things with this phone, be advised i haven't tinker with android in a very very long time.

Thanks Dude! Now I cant root it safe, without worrying about not having a recovery

No problem!, This will also allow people that unlocked bootloader before getting the latest ota, to be on the latest software update, il keep making these as asus releases future updates for our phones.

Added Latest WW-14.2610.1801.51 update enjoy guys.

Here's a screenshot of about screen.

Proof of root on oreo

Hi.Can I update my firmware if bootloader is unlocked and root is installed?If so, how?

You want to upgrade to oreo? Or just update your current firmware?

Just wondering.Are phones updated when the bootloader is unlocked?

Yes you can update phones with unlock bootloader's, if you want official updates you need the stock recovery, the twrp flashable roms i made will give you stock recovery.

Where is the stock recovery to take?

Flash any of the twrp stock roms i made and it will give you stock recovery.

Download firmware from the official website of asus, install it via twrp
and I get stock recovery with the new firmware???You don't know when to do an unofficial unlock of the bootloader?

Hi. I flashed the stock rom you uploaded because I accidentally lost mine... aside from audio/video lag issues, audio from calls were also unable to hear. Will patiently wait for your stock rom with firmware files. thaaaaanks

Go into recovery and flash the official oreo zip this will flash firmware files and fix no audio/video lag issues.

If you flash my oreo zip with no firmware and boot it up, this will give you stock recovery, which you will need to flash the stock oreo zip , and ofcourse you will need to reflash twrp after.
