For N8013 with German 4.1.1 wanting to downgrade

I had my N8013 using the German 4.1.1
Obviously, I wanted the US 4.1.2 update from today.
I spent hours with a $500 paper weight... hopefully this will help someone.
1. Download the Prerooted UEALH2 Firmware Package HERE
I know this includes everything [kernel], but my Note wouldn't boot up at all.
2. Gran the UEALH2 stock kernel HERE
Both PDA.
It worked for me... you can try it out, but don't blame me if something goes wrong.

Why cant you download ICS for 8013 from Samfirmware and then OTA to 4.1.2

Cause he wants root and SuperSU preserves it when upgrading in some cases?

Thank you. Do you just flash them in PDA one at a time after each other?

why would you downgrade when you can just flash using mobile odin?

I need the firmware to flash through mobile Odin. Has it been released?

Hey guys fast question.
On a N8013 I hit update and it says "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they requested it. Try again later"
Does all that = BUSY?

4.3 mk2 or mj9

Hey everyone. What will the baseband version be for 4.3? I see people saying its I337UCUEMK2 and I see others say its I337UCUEMJ9. Which one is it?? Its driving me nuts... I'm trying to look and see if people already have a root option for 4.3 for the gs4 and I need to know whether to search for MK2 or MJ9. If anyone could tell me which one that would be great. Thank you in advance. Much appreciated!

MJ7 help!!!

I just got my Note 3 the other day and before that I wanted to Root it and I didn't know that there was an update and I foolishly updated it. Is there a way that I can go back to M19, or is there a root for MJ7 and I just can't find it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Google "kingo root" For future reference please use the search function. This has been covered numerous times.

About to buy (another) S4 tonight, please help!

Hey guys, well I'm back in action! After dumping my S4 a few months ago, I am getting another one tonight. Ever since I saw the 4.3 update on my gf's S4, I saw that things have smoothed out and things are the way they should be!
Long story short, I want to see if the one I'm getting can be rooted. It is on 4.2.2 and the baseband is I3373CUFCMF3. Am I good to root it? I've been out of the S4 game for a while, so I don't know. If I can root it, can I run 4.3?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'd try to get a MDL one so you could just flash a 4.3 custom ron

Most, if not all current S4's will have MF3 firmware preinstalled. I doubt any store would have MDL firmware. Those devices would have had to be sitting there since early summer.

Yes, with MF3 you can root. You can then install safestrap and do some roms.
However if you take the 4.3 update you lose the ability to safestrap and use some roms, but you should still be able to root. I am not 100% as I just kept mf3 and put a 4.2.2 rom on it.

Ok, thanks for the responses. Can I flash any ROM with Safestrap or just some? Can I flash a custom 4.3 ROM for example?
Thanks!

You cannot install anything that's not touchwiz and anything above 4.2.2

Your very limited with roms using safestrap. Even then, the ones that work, might not work all the way. If you had MDL, you could use any rom if you flash loki-doki.
Just ask if they have one with MDL firmware. Doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Thanks for the responses guys! I will see if I can get a hold of a MDL phone.

Quick question. If I'm on MF3, can I jtag back to MDL?

Get a device that isn't as locked down as the s4 or note 3. Maybe nexus 5? Unless you can live with safestrap or just root. Which I can. If your a ROM flashaholic than stay away.

Thanks guys, I just scored a MDL on swappa. I will be back soon to root and rom!

[Q] Where to download the oldest firmware for this phone

I am trying to downgrade an AT&T S4 so that i can factory unlock it.
I downloaded Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-I337-ATT-I337UCUAMDL-1367050591 from a couple different mirrors and they're all corrupt so I don't even know if this version works.
edit: I guess ..What's the latest firmware the *#0011# trick will work on?
Or is this even possible? It has UCUAMF3 installed
(And I have read up on MF3 and still don't understand if this is possible.)
Thanks in advance for any help! I have already been googling for a couple days.

Sadly no. Once you update to MF3 or MK2, you are stuck on it.

Damn. Ok. Guess my friend is SOL. .

It will brick it. Then if your on mk2 it will be a fight to repair. If your on mf3, it's not so hard, you can odin back. This phones bootloader is locked. So no downgrading.
