Why do you want to do this?

Im having trouble rooting the tab. I read somewhere that the root isnt always successful when on 4.0.4, which is my problem at the moment

You don't need to downgrade to 4.0.3, I have rooted my device using a root method for the 4.0.4 version, it works fine, check this link if you need help rooting it: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25228-how-to-rooting-gt-p3113-step-by-step-updated-07182012/
(if you have 4.0.4, you either have the UEBLG2 or UEBLG5 firmware, check the about device menu in the settings to make sure)
But, if you still want to flash the 4.0.3 version, google the old firmware version, download it and flash it via Odin.

I had the same problem and could not get root to work on 4.0.4. I ended up doing an Odin to 4.0.3 and then root worked with no problems. Before that I think I tried like six times and finally boot looped the thing.

How to downgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3 stock rom to be exactly? Just download stock 4.0.3 and flash it with Odin just like you would upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4? I would like also downgrade my p3100 to 4.0.3 so I could root using adb shell. Please confirm the working method of downgrading firmware.

If I Odin down will it raise flash count?

Possible to flash 2.3.6 with unlocked bootloader yet?

I'm wondering if anyone has found out how to flash the new 2.3.6 update on a phone with an unlocked bootloader? I tried the OTA update before but just fails. I'm running stock 2.3.4 rooted and unlocked with CWM recovery.
Safest way is to flash 2.3.6 fruitcake found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009

Official 2.3.6-1.5.141.sbf alternative see here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490283&page=4 read carefully and never use rsdlite/sbf to flash back to a lower firmware revision. Confirmed hard brick if you do.
Hopefully someone will make a fruitcake of the 1.5.141 build soon. I tried but Rom Factory/Fruitcake maker v1.6.1.9 doesn't work on my phone.

So I just download the 236 zip, put it on my SD card, and flash it with CWM?
EDIT: Well I tried that but nothing happened. After I flashed it, I rebooted the phone and it was still on 2.3.4. Not sure what went wrong.
Like penderway mentioned, the OP of the fruitcake thread doesn't have the latest Att version posted. Someone posted a link on the last few pages of the thread and its the one I used to update.
Not sure what went wrong on your first attempt but I've flashed both versions successfull. Make a backup to be safe.Good luck flashing

Ok, I managed to get everything working by following this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22648699&postcount=577
I just downloaded all 4 zip files, put them on my SD card, and flashed them one by one in CWM recovery. Everything seems to be working. Settings shows 2.3.6 as android version and 4.5.141 as build number.

[Q] Previous steps to ICS update?

What do we have to do before flashing official ICS?
In my case, I am with rooted 3.2.1.. can I update without risk? or I have to downgrade and install official (non-rooted) 3.2.1?
Also, I have deleted some stock apps, is there gonna be any problem with that?
Thanks.
Same question here , I have read in other post that if I have CWM installed there could be some problems with the update.
I'm running a rooted stock rom 3.2.1 too, So can anyone of you upload an ICS rooted stock rom to install it by CWM?
Thanks in advance!

I'm also a little confused. I just installed stock unrooted rom from acer recovery and tried to do the update but it failed. Any pointers?

but you reverted to a stock kernel or kies updated also with rooted one?
Root = no or failed OTA update .
But should update via Kies .
Root is lost .

It will flash with root OTA or through Kies. At least it does for me.

I updated my rooted stock rom via kies without any problems. But not JB of course. Some other ICS update some weeks ago. It worked without problems, i just had to re-root again.

If your system status indicates "modified" you can't do OTA, just via kies. you may have this status, as do I, after flashing via Odin, and even after using triangle away.

Really? The status shows modified even after using triangle away? Then we wouldn't get repair in case of trouble right?

I just Kies-updated my SGS3 international to JB after being rooted running stock ICS 4.0.4. Now it runs 4.1.1 but is no longer rooted. OTA did not report ugrade available. At least it did not yet before Kies did its job.
So here is a sample that a rooted ICS can be upgraded just like you did with the same side effects.

Returning to stock australian 9505

Hey guys was hoping to get a little help. I am currently running foxhound 4.1 on my S4. The baseband version is I9505XXUFNA5. Its OS 4.4.2. In the process of flashing this rom according to the instructions on the dev thread said i had to flash a different bootloader and modem before flashing the rom. This process worked fine and i have been running without issue. Work has now decided that they want everyone on Android 4.3 so we can use apps they made to make our job easier so i need to go back to 4.3. I attempted this last night and when i try to flash a 4.3 rom via cwm it returns an error saying that the bootloader is the incorrect one and fails and i have to reinstall foxhound again to make the phone usable. Any one know how i go about getting back to 4.3 or where to get the correct bootloader and modem so i can flash them via odin and then install Androind 4.3? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers Jeff
Nobody can downgrade from 4.4.2
WTF really?? Cant i flash 4.3 bootloader and modem and then go back to 4.3?

Nope not at this stage cannot downgrade to older bootloader, sorry.
The best you can do is install a 4.3 custom rom. Try an echoe rom, version 12.1 the final bean I think should do.

[REQUEST]I9505 4.2.2 custom rom bootloader modified for downgrade from 4.4.2

Hii all, i have a I9505 where i must go back from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2. I know this is no simple cause bootloader is locked but i listen someone have modified the stock rom for fix the bootloader problem. Someone have this rom allredy cooked? I hope you can solve this
I would need this hack too. There is a mayor sound problem with bluetototh on 4.3 and 4.4.2.
On 4.2.2 there was no problem, so will be very good to possible downgrade

maybe if we are more people asking the same thing someone will care us
This will never happen. No developer is interested in downgrading their firmware to 4.2.2.
What you could try is to find an old custom 4.2.2. rom and flash that on your phone. Maybe it works and maybe it doesn't.
I found old 4.2.2 but the wifi isnt working. I am noob in modem versions

Try flashing the KT-SGS4 kernel kernel and let me know if that fixes the WiFi.
Thanks for reply. Will test tomorrow and let you know the info.

You can't downgrade stock 4.2.2. You can only try to downgrade with a custom rom.

right but modem-firmware version will remain that of 4.4 the same when downgrade to 4.2
Hi.
Finally managed to test. I installed prerooted stock 4.2.2 via custom recovery. Then installed mobile odin and via this installed official stock 4.2.2. After that installed kernel link from upper posts and wifi (and everything else) works perfect. The only thing i need to do is reset counter with triangle away. It does not restart counter. It goes ok with reboot and confirm resetting, but when i check the counter still persist custom binary. If anyone can suggest me what to it would be perfect.
Later tonight i will post links which firmwares i installed.
