I would like to downgrade from KitKat to Jelly Bean. How can I do so? I have tried flashing CM 10.2, but I didn't have service. Has Google done something with 4.4, like change something with the radio/baseband? If so, how can I revert it so I can go back to 4.3?
Does anybody know?
no. i have gone back and forth between jellybean and kitkat without issue, but i stay as far as i can from cm. i just flashed a different aosp jellybean and aosp kitkat roms without issue. for you, wipe data and flash a jellybean cm and gapps.

That's what I tried before, but I guess I'll try it again. I'll report the results asap.
So I have it flashed. I booted, and I do indeed have service, but now the WiFi won't turn on... how do I fix this?

I rebooted twice, and I flashed cm-10.2.1-mako. I have no idea where to find an older radio.. could you link me to it?
EDIT: I found a .03/.33/.03 hybrid radio, flashed it, and WiFi works now thanks for your help!

I installed safestrap 3.6 as explained in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448942
Everything worked fine, created a new slot with 3Gbyte size. However, I could ntot get custom ROM installed there. I copied ROM .zip file (CARBON-JB-1.8-jflteatt.zip) to internal SD card + gapps -jb-20130813-signed.zip. Got "installation completed" message for both ZIPs, and then :
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount internal storage. Got green "Successful" message under the window where all log messages were running.
Then when rebooting with newly-flashed ROM slot, the phone does not boot, it is stuck with back screen and the only way to get it back to life is to power-cycle it and boot into stock ROM slot.
Any idea what went wrong?
Phone details:
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Android 4.2.2
Baseband version - I337UCUAMF3
Kernel version 3.4.0-812098
Thanks,
Carbon is not tw based. Only touch wiz based roms will work.
I think the only aosp ROM that works is GPE 4.2.2 try that. But check its compatibility first

all the google edition roms work with safestrap as far as I know, I've tested most of them. if it's one from another carrier the most you have to change are the apn settings. I'll be testing VirginROM later.

on the first boot of installing any rom, I always skip the initial setup. wait until the rom has booted first then add your google account and setup wifi and 4.3 roms are not compatible with safestrap
If you want a good GE 4.3 ROM, try this one:

That's what I use as my daily driver. It works great, and is an untouched 4.3 GE ROM, except for the kernel. You can customize it yourself if you want before you install it.

Hi All,
First post ever on xda Hope this thread is where it should and nobody posted something similar (I checked)
I'm running 4.3 JWR66Y and everytime I try to install Paranoid Android 3+ (pa_mako-3.99-RC2-20130920 or pa_mako-3.93-20130805)I get a NO SERVICE and UNKNOWN BASEBAND.
I do a factory reset, I have the latest radio and bootloader, install ROM and GAPPS, wipe cache, dalvik, reboot and the result is always the same. Wifi works, but there's no baseband and no network.
I backed up and I restored back to stock 4.3, rooted, and everything works fine without the PA.
Does anyone have/had the same problem, or know how to fix this ?
Should I downgrade to 4.2.2 ? (I get annoyed with the "there's a new system update bla bla")
thank you and hopefully someone can help me out.
thanks!

i saw somewhere that lastest cwm / twrp are causing issues , try with different versions(like if not on lastest update it or vice versa) or use philz cwm or multi rom twrp.
Hello guys.
I have a i9505 and it was running perfectly coolboy 4.3 GPE rom in old bootloader.
Then, I wanted to flash the brand new Jamal`s 4.4 GPE. And for that it was needed to upgrade my firmware to the last ML6 BL (Knox 0x1, but i dont really care about warranty). I flashed a MKE full package using odin, after I flashed ML6 modem using odin too, then Philz touch CWM and in the last the zip 4.4 rom.
It was fine, but i wanted to revert to 4.3 Rom because i didnt really like kitkat. and now my problem starts......
i flashed MKE stock package again, philz touch and then 4.3 GPE zip that was previously installed. After all this.. Everything works wonderfully, but the data.... it keeps dropping all the time! I tried everything... flashed ML6 firmware, ML6 modem, 4.4 Rom again, MKE stock again... nothing fixed.
To use data, i need to turn airplane on and off, but after sometime it drops again. When I select "only 2G network" it works fine too... but when 3G or LTE, it drops constantly...
Please, anyone have a suggestion... I really apreciate.!
Thanks in advance.
I had similar problems with coolboy's 4.3 GPE, the data just would not stick to "on", even on 2G. So I decided to flash Jamal's 4.3, and everything was great, on the very same modem! So I would suggest you to try that! Though it doesn't really explain anything! :silly:

thank you... but i can observe the problem running all kind of rom. I tried stock frimware, 4.3 coolboy rom, 4.4 jamals rom, CM11 rom, AOSP...
i dont think its related to any of them. maybe it is because of flashing modems and firmwares using odin.
Did you ever try to downgrade your modem? If not, then I don't see why installing latest stock ROM+Modem should not fix this!

Nope. ... I did not try this....
I dont see that either. Im used to do these flashing stuff. This is my fourth samsung phone, and i had never seen something that even a pure firmware flash didnt solved.
I looked for something related to knox triggered. But i didnt find anything that could blame knox for this.

I recently flashed the temasek and official CM11 roms, but the baseband has been unknown since.
So I had flash back to the original rom that I was using, my QUESTION is that I like cm11 alot, so how can i fix this problem?
Which Note model? -- N9005 or N9005 variant? -
T/w8 ?
Which recovery do you use?

It is actually N9006 but temasek's v45 for n9005 and earlier worked fine, I am using CWM rec.
Until recently, temasek's v46 and 47, the baseband becomes unknown
Last time a user had that issue, he fixed it by flashing stock via odin and then CM but he was using a n9005 so I am not sure if that will work for you as well...However no harm in trying.

I'm sorry but I speak poor English. What is a Stock? I've tried flashing kernel and baseband but it did not work.
When I use Temasek's v45, it shows that my baseband is ML1, but when I use further version, it becomes unknown.

I just flashed a n9006 rom made by chinese romers to get my note mp4 into a note3, or i could just use temasek's v45.
I just wanna use the latest cm11 rom but it seems that it's not quite possible for now, so i'll just stick to my original rom...

It also worked for me although sadly I could not use my backup again after flashing back to cyanogenemod so its time to start downloading. At least my phone is fully functional now, even if I lost a bit of data.
I had the same issue move than once, i would lose imei number etc.
Found out that it wasn't prompting for pin unlock on boot.
Since removing this I've had no problems
Yea it also wasn't prompting for ping with mine.
Though starting again fresh does work, I am currently again on the latest nightlies. however if this happens again I will probably wait for a stable release because having to reinstall everything is not really desirable.

it is rather annoying to reinstall everything,even with kies
I didn't even use kies nor any other tool like that.
So I had DarkLord N5 on my N9005 before, which was awesome, but it had performance issues (especially when gaming). Then i downgraded to Stock KitKat using Odin and after boot up It showed No Signal, and everything was freezing and force closing. I somehow went to settings and found that i also have issues with IMEI and Baseband version, it was all unknown. The worst part is i did not backup my EFS. Any help guys please :crying:
I also have no audio playback
Im no pro here, but as i found in my research it is hard to downgrade from lolipop to kitkat as in 5.0 new architecture has been presented which they called art. I think. So it gives lots of incompatibilities. I tried the same as you but i ended up going stock lolipop for a while.
Yesterday i flashed Ressurrection remix 6.0.1 Marshmallow based off Slim roms and CM and i admit this is so far best rom i have tested. (Unless you need all fancy spen features)
I'd try to stick to anything that is 5.1 or above since great battery life.
Sorry for not much info, but i couldn't get past your post unanswered.

But afaik if u have updated your bootloader there may be no way to get back. And lack of IMEI on reverted KitKat isn't anything new. I bet going simply to anything art. Based will do.
People here are arguing on same issues as yours. Just don't listen to these "flash with odin" guys.. This doesn't work. Even if u flash the stock one.

I would not try any other ROMs before trying to flash the latest stock rom from sammobile.com. Hopefully, this will resolve the baseband and imei issue. Sometimes, the missing or wrong imei is caused by a mismatch between the bootloader and modem firmware.

I did downgrading from 5.0 (CM12) to Stock 4.4 KitKat in my S3, but never had issues like this.
Downgrading from a cm rom to a stock rom via Odin can be fine because installing a cm rom does NOT alter the phone's bootloader or modem. Trying to downgrade from stock 4.4.2 to stock 4.3 with Odin on an s3 cannot be done.

Oh, never knew about this, thanks for the info
Sorry, I meant to say that installing a cm rom DOES NOT change the bootloader or modem. When you flash back to stock via Odin, you are simply writing over the existing modem and bootloader with the same bootloader and modem if you are flashing the same stock rom that was on the phone before installing cm.
I flashed between KitKat and LP official just fine.
