going back to custom 4.2.2 rom from stock 4.3

I had cm 10.1.2 earlier.
I installed the stock 4.3 via flash-all.bat. installed TWRP 2.6.0 again and rooted (supersu 1.43).
if I want to go back to some custom 4.2.2 rom, do I need to flash stock 4.2.2 again (to get the old radio) and then only flash custom rom?
will it work if i simply flash a 4.2.2. custom rom via TWRP?
thanks.

all you have to do is flash a custom rom in recovery... all you had to do to update was flash a stock rooted 4.3 as well. Just as an fyi for future reference
everything is flashable radios bootloader roms.... Just read up before doing anything all your questions and answers can generally be found in the stickies

Thanks for fast reply.
I guess I wanted to know whether a ROM and radio go together. Since I already have new radio from 4.3, will it work if I simply flash a 4.2.2 ROM.
I guess I should have read more here. Thanks.

Returning to stock australian 9505

Hey guys was hoping to get a little help. I am currently running foxhound 4.1 on my S4. The baseband version is I9505XXUFNA5. Its OS 4.4.2. In the process of flashing this rom according to the instructions on the dev thread said i had to flash a different bootloader and modem before flashing the rom. This process worked fine and i have been running without issue. Work has now decided that they want everyone on Android 4.3 so we can use apps they made to make our job easier so i need to go back to 4.3. I attempted this last night and when i try to flash a 4.3 rom via cwm it returns an error saying that the bootloader is the incorrect one and fails and i have to reinstall foxhound again to make the phone usable. Any one know how i go about getting back to 4.3 or where to get the correct bootloader and modem so i can flash them via odin and then install Androind 4.3? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers Jeff

Nope not at this stage cannot downgrade to older bootloader, sorry.
The best you can do is install a 4.3 custom rom. Try an echoe rom, version 12.1 the final bean I think should do.

Flash the 5.0.1 factory image with fastboot. Then flash the twrp image with fastboot. Then flash supersu in twrp. You'll have 5.0.1 with root.

Just make a backup of any files that you need then download and install Wugfresh toolkit and select to install stock rom and then just click at Root button.
Just a few clicks and u r done.

[Q] switching between lollipop roms

Hi, my g2 is running stock lollipop. If I want to try an aosp lollipop based rom I just need to wipe the old system and flash the new one? I do not have to flash any other stuff life "back to kk" or be worried about the sensors or modem, or recoveries am I right?

anyone?

no sir, if you are on stock Lollipop you are not clear to flash any ROM's, do you have a custom recovery?
Apologies, as I have not tried the OTA lollipop....how is it? Worth trying in place of a constantly rebooting CM12-based phone?
You will need to be running a 4.3 bootloader before flashing the Lollipop ROM's, so you will need to take some steps to downgrade.

So we just have to flash jelly bean bootloader true recovery if I come from stock lollipop to an AOSP rom?
And what if we want to go back from AOSP to stock lollipop?
Thx!
