I recently updated my stock rom to 4.3 version and then was facing some problems with rooting. so i decided to downgrade back to 4.2.2 stock but every time I tried to flash the md5 file via odin, it fails and shows unsupported version in download mode.
I went to a retailer and he flashed the 4.2.2 stock rom with another software (couldn't look properly which one). It wasn't odin. Can anyone tell me how can I downgrade from 4.3 via odin or let me know any other ways of doing so 'cause the rom I'd got installed from retailer didn't have network connectivity. I downloaded a fresh stock rom - 4.2.2 for my phone and it still gives the "unsuppoted version" error. I've already checked the version of stock rom and its the same that was running before all this mess...pls help..
Same story. Need help too.

i guess you have the I9500 variant,
you have the secured bootloader, you can only downgrade to MH1 4.2.2 only because it has the same bootloader. MH1 can be found in XFE or XFA South Africa firmware

Hello, im trying to unroot my phone and return it to stock firmware to update it to 4.3, ofc then ill have to root it again, the basic need for me to update is that im trying to install my apps on sd card, which firmware 4.2.2 that i have does not allow. But i cant find my stock firmware on the websites, the version i got is I9500XXUAMDK. Bought my S4 in Saudi arabia, so anyone has a link to that firmware? or should i flash an updated firmware directly? im trying to unroot guide over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 so what exactly should i do? e.e
Note: does the 4.2.3 update have options to install to SD? if it does i pretty much prefer it to 4.3 since i hear it has some problems.
HERE we go. You only have to flash this firmware for unroot it if this is the correct firmware for ur phone
thanks! But a question arises xD is this 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 or 4.3?

thanks for replying but is it save that flash 4.4.2 via odin and after flash will I receive the official update from samsung?
And one thing, after flashing to 4.4.2 I have to root the phone again or not.???
Thing is, odin 4.3 or other old firmware and then OTA to 4.4.2 , or odin 4.4.2 firmware in the first place, it's same process you have to do but with different firmware.
Yes, if you leave newly flashed firmware untouched.
You will probably have to root again.
You can also choose odin flash recovery and then flash pre-rooted ROM to have everything done in less process
heya Guys,
i have an S4 and i kinda messed up the moden, because wifi istnt working (I tried to flash the mf9 update, didnt realize i was on 4.2.2 und flashed back to MDC which is now working, exept wifi)
i tried to update via Kies but it doesnt connect to my S4. it says connecting for like an hour.
i am donwloading the 4.4.2 STOCK Full firmware (Its bout 1.5 GB Big and i dont think its an OTA-Update)
my questin is, can i flash the 4.4.2 Firmware just over the 4.2.2 with odin?
or must i get the 4.3 update to get it running?
and i read something about flashing back the Stock Recovery and unroot the Device before updating is this true?
Thanks in Advance Bros, hope you can help me.

will i lose any data?
and what about the stock recovery?
thanks for your help
My Recommendation for you in this case
Go to 4.3.
4.4.2 is Very Buggy and will mess up your phone!

1. Download your .kdz file by entering your IMEI, here.
2. Return to Stock Firmware.
I got a used GT-935T phone very recently in India, which was still running android 6.0. On browsing these forums, I found out that we could flash stock rom on it without rooting, so I did so using Odin. I flashed the stock rom of Android 7.0 for t-mobile 935T, which was what my phone was supposed to be.
On further browsing, I also discovered, that we could flash any stock rom on the phone, irrespective of the region. So I decided to download the latest stock rom for India 935fd. I did so, but whenever I'm trying to flash it using Odin, I'm getting an error - repartition failed.
I've not checkd the repartition option.
can someone help me?
