[Q] Why I Cannot Flash Back to Stock Firmware (4.2.2) from 4.3 (MJ3) ?

I add the "home md5" file to the slot "AP" of "Odin v3.9" but Odin said the process failed.
Thank you.

MJ3 has a locked bootloader. You cannot downgrade to 4.2.2

No correct. You can downgrade but only to mgg ore newer.

Oh, is there any method for me to flash back 4.2.2 from 4.3 (MJ3) ?
Thank you.

Really don't know and not want to know. It's difficult enough know how it works on the I9505. By the way that's wat we are talking about.

There's a downgrade bootloader available in the Note 3 Developer Discussion's KNOX thread. Go check that out. Look for the guy called RuchRa or something.

Just use the pit and then use any 4.3 firmware and it will downgrade greatly.

I would settle for 4.3 instead of the 4.2.2 that I have.
The baseband Version is I9505GUEUAMFD
Build Number is JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD

ThankFor all your Help But I fixed the bug with OTA and now its Updating.

If 4.4.2, you can't install older bootloader ,so you can't flash 4.3
