hello
i need downgrade 4.4 to 4.3 via odin and 4 files
please help me
I think device will probably reject it if you try to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3 because of bootloader, but not sure, but surely it happens when you down to 4.2
1. Firmware you can find in sammobile
2. If it fails, the only way is recovery flash CWM package
it will fail, i have i9500 and it failed from 4.3 to 4.2.2, and from 4.4.2 to 4.3.....and i think the two devices are the same in terms of knox
I was successfully flashed 4.3 after 4.4.2... downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 failed...
sent using voodoo magic
you can downgrade but you need to remove KNOX
You can write how you did it.
I tried and received an error. Luckily managed to get back to 4.4.2 and the phone works. What ROM and what Odin. Please help me.

I was on I9505XXUFNB9_I9505OXXFNB2_TSR
In Odin3 v3.07 flashed succesfully with I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_TSR. That is 4.3 firmware...

I have Galaxy S4 international i9505 and I am on old bootloader without knox. I installed OMEGA 19 and I decided to go back at Stock 4.2.2 so I downloaded firmware from sammobile for my country code (XEF) and flashed it with Odin. I had problem with wifi so I also flashed wifi fix for I9505XXUBMEA wich is the ROM I believe it was the stock one as I made no backup before flashing custom
I rooted flashing CF Autoroot and installed Triangle Away and Wanam.
Also changed CSC to XEF with CSC Changer from Play Store
The problem is that I cannot get OTA as no matter how many times I try with Wanam Xposed, system status always goes to Custom.
Also despite having flashed old stock memory and bootloader there seems to be a knox store and a knox app in my applications list.
I want to get back to official and be able follow Samsung updates as I am going to sell the phone and the buyer wants official 4.3 and Knox 0x0
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong because I followed every guide in XDA??
Forgot to mention that Triangle Away shows Binary and System Official but Device information does not!
Also Kies tells me that there is an update. Should I install it from there or will it trigger knox??
Do hav any custom recovery installed
No custom recovery. I have the recovery that was flashed with Odin though I am currently searching how to ectract recovery from firmware and flash it again
Reflashing any stock rom would make u recieve ota updates bt I cant say about knox
Hit thanx if I helped
I allready flashed stock 4.2.2 but I cannot get device status to official. Thanks anyway
Bt I think the files ur flashing after flashing stock firmware are creating the prblm of ota ....jst flash again some firmware nd dont even root and see whether u r getting ota updates r not

The way I do it should be working according the the guides here on xda cause I wanted to reset binary counter. I am going to try to flash stock again and report back!

I finally downgrade my S4 I9500 from stock 4.4.2 to stock 4.2.2 just follow this:
1. download galaxy s4 i9500 south africa rom 4.2.2 from Sammolbile (I9500XXUBMH1) to be specific).
2. use odin 3.09 to flash it.
3. enter in reconery mode and make a factory reset and Done.
*the only thing is that it stays custom but that doesnt matter you can flash another official rom later.

I confirm this. I just downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2
I was using Omega 19 till yesterday. Today i went mad and was switching b/w different ROMS. here is the story:
Installed AICP ROM 4.4.2, i didn't liked the ROM very much so i went back to old MIUI rom (miuiandroid_multi_ja3g_4.1.3_jb-4.2). Then just for a check, i copied I9500_Omega_v14.1_UBUBMH1 and flashed. Yep It did work. Here is the screenshot.
hi guys,where can i download the I9500XXUBMH1 firmware ,I cant find any work link.
and is this firmware locked?
thanx for reply

but all know bootloader will not allow you to downgrade!
Yes I heard some people downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2
But my question is knox will be gone or not? And if its gone the Warranty void 0×1 will be reset to 0×0 or not?

From which 4.4.2 stock firmware exactly did you downgrade? What about Knox Kernel Lock and Warranty Void when you boot into download mode? I reckon they are still there and both are set to 0x1, right? Could you post a screenshot please? Thanks.

find the modem file of your phone's current firmware. then downgrade the firmware. and then flash the modem file...
(there is a problem the phone can't be charged when it is off)

it does not reset knox counter. if your knox counter was already triggered, it remains the same. i downgraded my GT-I9500 yesterday.
And I9505 is possible to downgrade?

I rooted my phone then....added (flashed) the 4.2.2 modem to it. Then flashed the 4.2.2 firmware. You will have to extract the modem from the firmware. Just add the extension .rar to the firmware name ( rename it) eg. 'Tar.md5.rar' and extract modem.bin. use odin to flash it to your phone. Use PDA OPTION TO FLASH MODEM FILE. Then flash your 4.2.2 firmware. Factory reset and wipe cash before phone starts up. However.....no sound...no wifi. ..have to find a work around this. Will let you all know when I figure it out.....Contact me at [email protected].
Flash the modem again and you should have your issue resolved. Sometimes the flash doesn't fully take, and it might have something to do with the S4 storing a backup of the modem.
Hi i have this phone and i want to install original firmware(for i9505x) because i have problem with my battery. recently i have installed 4.4.2 for i9505,maybe cant be compatible. someone have problem with his battery and have i9505x model ?my phone have sim
You can go back to 4.3 but you need to have root access and removed KNOX then flash the 4.3 Firmware.
Or try to Wipe/data factory reset & cache partion

1. Knox will not be removed, only the related apps.
2. Once the official 4.4 firmware is flashed, its not possible to get back to official 4.3
Because, by flashing official 4.4, the bootloader will be updated. Once its updated, there's no way to downgrade the bootloader.
The only way to get back to 4.3 is to flash a 4.3 customrom via recovery.
Dear XDA guys, I am trying to Flash a Rom on my Verizon Note 3, I am on android 4.4.2, Model:SM-N900V, baseband version: N900VVRUCNC4 and I need to use Odin 3, the problem I am having is when I try to flash this firmware >>>- MJE tar file>> ( ALL_N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_2106277_REV03_user_lo w_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.7z ) Odin does NOT see the firmware tar file when the PC is browsed and the file that it is installed in is opened, Odin will see other files , but not the MJE tar file, I even opened it with 7 zip and Odin still does not see it , also Safe strap 3.72 will not install every time I open the app up nothing but a blank screen shows up and I tried to root with towelroot, it didnt work is there any way to root this device so that I can flash back to android 4.3 ?, can you give me some advice on what I should do or what I am doing wrong , here are the instructions that I am going by >>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post48627708. Thank You in advance and I appreciate your time :*)
You need to unzip it. Its in 7Zip format.
If I am correct, you can not downgrade back to MJE if you are already on NC4. NC2 would be the KK release you can downgrade back to MJE. I believe you are out of luck with trying the MJE TAR.

No. Unfortunately once you are on NC4 you can not even downgrade to a prior KK release. You and NC4 have tp become friends. The only way to downgrade now is by having Verizon ship you a new phone on MJE still.
