You said you changed bootloader. If u have the new bootloader from android 4.3 you cant come back to the old bootloader of android 4.2.2. You will have to flash Android 4.3 Stock Rom

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Use the link I posted before you flash stock again, boot into download mode and flash via Odin PDA and it should be fine

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

Nope you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 after flashing 4.4.2 stock rom.have a nice day.
So if he flashes a 4.3 ROM via Odin, what would happen? Brick?

any opinions on trying this ? Thanks!
on youtube i saw a person using i9505 having kitkat.he downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using mobile odin. n it worked well.
as mobile odin is not supported on i9500 we cant do this.
but the important thing is that he downgraded.that means it is possible.
please devs..help us guys.please.i am fed up of kitkat n i am on the same boat to have jellybean back.
one more thing, what if we flash jellybean custom rom over kitkat.will it work ?

post the link to this video
/ I found it - nothing new - familiar things
Sometimes it is possible to downgrade, but for sure my friend, then u won't have wifi and/or sound
tapatalked by an Echoenian on old b/l without knox
What if he installs a custom 4.3 rom?
Would that work? can he install the custom rom in recovery? or that would brick the phone because of the new bootloader?

downgrade always possible but there are problems
example
sound, calls
can be fixed using a custom kernel, mods, etc.
but this did not benefit
why necessary ? 4.4.2 is better
question is downgrade and reset Knox
it is
everything else is nothing
confirmed for I9500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686882

If you are on 4.4.2 rom , you have NO costum recovery, and the only way to get back too 4.2.2 is reflash STOCK rom KDZ files in Flash Tool ... See :::: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Hi
My first suggestion would be take it back to where you got it , is on warranty right?
When you flashed stock rom as suggested on the thread you posted , did it all go ok? what rom version rom you had on the phone , what rom version you tried to flash?...you know you cannot downgrade, you should use same or newer rom to re flash your phone ( odin)

Firstly , this thread doesn't belong here. Its in the wrong sub section of the forum.
Secondly, flash back a lollipop modem and you will get back your imei. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56103578&postcount=3
This issue has already been brought up a million times, so next time atleast spend some time researching and reading through the forum or at least use google. Thanks.

I think for starters , you should stick to kitkat. Now to get back your imei, flash this file via odin : https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...odems And Bootloaders/I9500-XXUHOD4-MODEM.tar (since you're on stock, i assume you no longer have custom recovery)
Resolve this issue first.
