Hi mate ,If you flash a stock NA5 you can no longer downgrade to stock 4.3. but you can try to flash your 4.3 Nandroid back up via recovery. or You can atleast downgrade to any custom 4.3 roms even aosp rom as well.Have a nice day
If the official kitkat come and I flash. Then everryhing is okey. Or not.

If the official kk came out in the end of january . Yea you should be alright . But if your thinking to downgrade to 4.3 stock then its not possible. If your having any issue with the leak,just flash the kitkat rom again.

I am on MH1 and all is fine. MG9 is recommended so that you dont loose imei.
I didnt, so it does not happen with everyone.
Just backup your EFS before flashing. All should be fine.

Even if you dont flash it you should be fine. I can switch between both mg9 and mh1 without any issues.

Ohh ok thanks, im not new to this but with what samsung made, got confused haha.
Ps. Thinking of flashing 4.3, too bad its only for Russia currently
I may not have posted on the correct sub-forum, but can anyone post an odin flashable TW 4.1.2 bootloader (if possible)? I want to try AOSP custom roms but am on 4.2.2 stock TW. So will flashing the 4.1.2 bootloader do the job instead of flashing the 4.1.2 rom?:silly:
You need to flash the whole 4.1.2 ROM AFAIK

hey guys... im on 4.3 MK2 rooted, can i install a 4.2.2 rom stock or custom ?? with 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
thanks.
If you updated by keeping the MF9 bootloader you can go back to stock. If you took the OTA however, you can only downgrade to 4.2 with a custom ROM.

i tried eveything so i can downgrade and how he said is the only way. i been trying everything but no luck. i hope your not trying to return your phone because if u have it rooted and have "kernel not seandroid enforcing " then wait until some dev can fix that

but i can downgrade to 4.2 (100% 4.2) using a custom rom?? or i will be on 4.2 but with the same new bootloader?
what custom rom would work in my case? if you can give me a link to one.. there are so many here.
If you're on the MJA or MK2 bootloader, you're stuck with it.
And why would you want to go back to 4.2? Any ROM would work, but seems kind of pointless.

i downgraded the modem to mdc and did the unlock process. it worked, i can make and receive calls but when the phone is going to 3g i get a error message "LTE esm 29 emm-x cannot establish wireless data connection" nobody else had that issue.. i dont know if hte fact that my phone is not activated on spring is relevant.. it shouldn't be, because im using the phone outside the US.
i dont know what to do to make this thing work.. i have flashed from mdc to mk2 or mja like 5 times and i always get the same message.
Hey guys.
Had some great advice in some of my other questions and I thank everyone who posted. Everything always helps.
Just before I do this, as I've been informed that you can't go back to 4.3 after updating bootloader to 4.4.2.
Which would be the latest 4.4.2 firmware I should flash for N9005 in Australia? I then want to flash custom roms like Xnote etc. Knox will be triggered after I flash a custom recovery am I right?
Thanks guys. As far as I can see NC3 is the latest.

Oh ok cool thank you.
Thing is what if I was to flash the Netherlands firmware, will I still be able to use it stock if I wish in Australia? I'll probably go straight to custom rom but just seeing. I'm worried if I flash a certain countries firmware I'll brick my device...

no u won't brick, as long as u choose the correct firmware for your device.
and do a proper step by ODIN PC.
btw, u open 2 similar threads ?
Yeah I know, just trying to get more info. As a thread gets seen once, it's forgotten about pretty quickly and not many people get to see it, or have the opportunity to comment. especially in the q&a section.

Another thing I wanted to check was if I flashed ND3...can use like NB7 or NB3 or any earlier 4.4.2 rom?? Custom obviously? Heard some scary things if you go back...maybe that's to a non-knox firmware...
Thanks!!

You can flash other (earlier) 4.4.2 roms but you can`t downgrade to a 4.3 rom afaik
Oh cool. That's fine then. All these have open MSCs right? So I could technically use it stock? There will be an English option? I mean if it's all on there I don't know why Samsung doesn't release it at a faster rate, ir more at once... If indeed it works fine. I'll probably change straight away to a custom rom but still, it'd be nice to see what vanilla kit kit is like.

So do you want to flash a 4.4.2 custom rom? If so just flash it in your custom recovery. Wipe system, data and cache first.

Then you're going to have to use Odin and flash the stock firmware in it. Go to sammobile.com for the stock firmware.

That's it. I thought there was problems reverting after upgrade.

I think you can on the i337m. Not totally sure. But the worst case is Odin will fail.
