[Q] Looking for a i337m Rooted 4.2.2. Stock rom

Looking for a rooted stock bell i337m 4.2.2. Firmware I can't seem to locate one. I can get the stock firmware from sammobile.com but I don't have a PC to re-root my i337m so if someone knows where I can get one would be great thanks.

There is a Canadian install guide listed... on the 4.3 version so yes that would work.....your rooted now correct? and custom recovery?

Oh I've been rooted since the first week I had my i337m currently running SlimKat 4.4.2 RC 2

So did you start off on 4.2 or 4.3 from stock? I think they have different bootloaders... so I am not sure if you can go to a 4.2 rom.... you show ask before you flash... just to be on the safe side.... and nand what you currently have before hand so you have a chance to at least go back....

I got my phone before the OTA 4.3 was out so I'm still on the 4.2 boot loader I want to try this method to sim unlock but need a stock Rom.

There are mixed views on the free unlock.... I did perform it on my s3 and it seemed to work but some say the phone can actually get damaged doing the free thing on the s4... i can't do mine because I went to 4.3 before rooting... if I do unlock I just plan to go to one of the case kiosks in the mall... some of those guys offer unlock for $20.... although I am not sure they can do it on a custom rom... read a lot before you go a head....

I don't know... they must have access to unlock codes I guess... I don't think I have seen a dev here that has offered unlock. I would think at least 1 of them would have developed it if it was possible...the free unlock is accessing the service menu, I would think there would be some kind of flashy thing if it was a dev thing... or build it into a rom or something.... I am not sure it is possible program to program this....

The companies where you pay take the IMEI to generate an unlock code, but I'm not sure how and they don't release their methods in order to generate revenue. You should be able to unlock yours the same way as I337 users, by flashing an older modem (make sure it's an i337m modem and not an i337 one) and then using either RegionLock Away or flashing one old enough to give access to the service menu.

[Q] Official JB 4.3 Rom with bootloader

First and Foremost, I would like to know if I can downgrade from 4.4.2 bootloader to 4.3. If that is possible can some one give me the link to
a stock 4.3 Rom which has seperate files for boot loader, modem,CSC etc. Thanks.

If you flash the stock 4.4.2 stock rom then you can no longer downgrade your phone to 4.3 or .4.2.2 . have a nice day.

Thats because of the boot-loader right, correct me if I'm wrong. So theoretically if we flash a JB compatible boot-loader we can downgrade to JB ROM. That's what I am thinking.

It is not possible to install an older bootloader

S III owner --> New to S IV

Hi guys,
So, I just got an S IV today, as a replacement for my beloved S III.
As I've been running CM11 for a long time on my S III, I'd like to keep it that way on my S IV.
However, I've been looking a bit in the forums, and as I got the official 4.4.2 on my S IV, I see that I might be running into some problems, due to Knox - Or will I?
As far as I've understood, I just have to be sure not to flash something that downgrades or installs another bootloader, correct?
If a kind person can clearify for me, that I just can go ahead and do an auto-root, flash a custom recovery and a custom CM11 build - Or what I should avoid, that would be perfect.
Thank you in advance

Your only problem will be that your warranty will be voided if you flash a custom recovery. Other than that there should be no big issues if you are using aosp roms.

Scumbag Sammy.. But I guess it's almost the same as the flash-counter on my SIII.
Anyway, then there's no chance of bricking and so on?
And if I choose to go back to official Sammy software, I will have to only upgrade, not downgrade?

Well there is always a minimal chance of bricking but if you read the instructions carefully then you will be fine.
Just search for a custom recovery and flash it via odin. Then install the rom you want.
You will not be able to downgrade but in my opinion KitKat is good

Yes it's the same flash counter ? Very difficult to brick as long as you follow guides ?
If you want to go back official you can use odin & correct there's no way to downgrade only stay same or upgrade when next version comes up ?

[Q] New N3, but Should I update to kitkat

Hi All
Just unpacked my new unlocked UK/EU Note 3 and its still on its 1st charge, however, I traded my S4 when I upgraded my contract and the KK on the S4 was abysmal and buggeed...
Question:
Is KK on the Note 3 as broken and would you recommend me to update to 442 or just flash the latest 4.3 in ODIN
Thanks

Depends on various things, KK on the Note is fine but JB was also -- I assume it has JB on it hence the KK question? cause you cannot downgrade to JB if KK is already only on it.

My recommendation, stay at 4.3 if you don't have any problems. I only update to kk, because Deepsleep problem in 4.3.
After updating to KitKat I don't have the Deepsleep issue.
The SD CARD permission crap for most 3rd party apps is not important for me
If for you, than stay at 4.3
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk

No, my N3 comes with XXUBMI6 (4.3) dated 11th Sept 2013 at bootup, but this is my works phone for my business, so I want 442 stock to be ok. I have read that theres an Update called MD6 which fixes the bugs of MD5, as long as i get good battery and for the N3 to function as it should then ill just update, but im asking if anyone has had any real issues with KK 442, like the issues on the S4 KK?
Thanks,

All i use the SD card for is Photos, which is connected to OneDrive and Music, nothing else.. so like you I didnt have an issue on the SD either, But it sounds like 442 is fine, Ive just been burned by the s4 crap, and am a bit apprehensive..

99 out of 100 users have zero issues with KK on the N3 - I had no issues either. - Go for the update.

Thanks Friend., will do, appreciated.. Just my shiney new N3.. hehe. Wouldnt want to see it broken

Note 3 ist the Best phone for me, with 4.3, and also with 4.4.2
Can't say bad things about 4.4.2, but can't say..... go quickly and update your phone because KitKat sounds good or had any new features and so on. Both runs very good..... only Deepsleep was a problem.
If you make a update, do it right at first time. Spend some time an reset it before, use the recovery mode, wipe cache, use Odin and update your phone. Again reset via recovery mode

Thanks all for your help and advice.. Im downloading XXUEND3 dated 14/04, which appears to be the latest one for UK/EU and ill flash with ODIN 309, then wipe through recovery and let you know how i get on.
Ive flashed using ODIN before so i know how it goes
Cheers

Good luck and enjoy your nice phone

Just to add.
If you are on JB, you have possibility to root (and also update to KitKat with root) without triggering the KNOX. However, on KitKat, there is currently no way to root by not killing the KNOX.

CM to Stock Problems :(

Now i decided to get back to Stock ROM , but the Problem is that i have CyanogenMod 10.2 and before CM 10.2 i habe Stock ROM 4.4.2.
So now i searched in SamMobiles, SamDownload ... For Android 4.3.1 But i found nothing i'm only See 4.4.2 , 4.3....
Now how can i get back to Stock ROM?
Some Words about phone:

Why did u want back to stock ROM ?
Because the phone Reboots randomly (in Clash Of Clans)
Freezes, Battery loading Logo Freezing...

Hey,
your latest stock rom was 4.4.2, right?
Then it doesn't make sense to flash a 4.3 firmware because that isn't really possible. And a 4.3.1 firmware doesn't exists I think but I'm quite not sure. But that isn't important, because your have to FG lash 4.4.2
