Please help me downgrade my S4 (currently on 4.3)

I bought a Metro PCS galaxy s4 that has the T-Mobile 4.3 rom flashed to it. I'd like to downgrade to either an earlier Tmobile rom. Phone is currently not rooted. I do not care about the warranty flag. Any advice you can provide with regards to the downgrade, would be much appreciated. I've used ODIN before, but I found out that ODIN doesn't work with 4.3. Please help.

U cant come back to 4.2.2

I'm reading that I should be able to. Folks are referencing rooting and flashing the South Africa region specific 4.2.2 rom and from there i should be able to flash any rom I want. Is that not the case with my version??

I guess you're stuck with trying it & see what happens. Generally speaking, Joku is right, but, if someone claims it can be done using the method in that thread, then it might be possible. If you're looking for a definite answer, ask the person who suggested the workaround in that thread whether it actually worked for them or not.

ROM with 3 files and/or pit file for G900F

Hello to all.
I am looking for stock ROM and pit file mainly because i want to repartition my phone.
I remember on my S1 and S3 there were ROM's with 3 files, but for S5 maybe there is only one file + pit for repartition.
P.S: The reason i need this is because i am trying to fix my phone. The phone is G900F and i am trying to flash stock Bulgarian ROM downloaded from samfirmware. I flashed the Polish and the British without any problem , but none of the Bulgarian one's are working. I have done this 1000 times with all my samy device's. Now i can't even downgrade to 4.4.2 because the lollipop is so laggy and i don't like it.

Anybody
I know this is sensitive information, so i will be glad if somebody PM with the answer.
Thanks.

The firmware you are looking for is a 'leak' or 'test' firmware. I've seen them available for the S2 (and used one on that device), but so far, I haven't seen one for the S5.......somebody *might* make one available in the future......who knows?

.......might be what you are looking for.
Edit......forget it, it's a system 'dump' not a firmware.......

Looking 4 Software

I have a Samsung Galaxy SM-J327A (AT&T) 2016. Is there another model that is the same as the SM-J327A WHEN IT COMES TO THE FIRMWARE? Say, the SM-J320M? Like a J700T1 & a J700T??? Does anyone know a link? A site? To find firmware & information about the device. I would like to flash with Odin, original firmware 6.0.1 to gain root. Just haven't seen this device on XDA anywhere. Maybe I missed it?
I have been to sammobile. Finding nothing but SM-J320M? I WILL KEEP LOOKING...
Help would be appreciated tremendously.
I am learning. With y'alls help... Thanks

Hello everyone.
I want to go from PartCyborgRom to stock S8+ (Or maybe to flash a better rom if one exists for this damn AT&t device)
I know he mentioned his ROM updated the bootloader to v2 so I can't just flash what I had before.
Hoping some intelligent kind soul can help me avoid crushing mistakes.
My soecs:
Samsung Galaxy S8+
SM-G955U
Android 7.0
Baseband G955USQU1AQK1
Build NRD90M-G955USQS2BQL1
Any advise is appreciated thank you.

man, you got rooted a while ago!! bootloader revision 2? yikes!! anyways, heres the unbranded S8 firmware. Get the Frija tool or Samfirm to download it in less than 33 lifetimes

What kind of benefits come from 9.0 Android on G955u?
Is it rootable without any compromises?

Galaxy Tab a 8.0

Can anyone direct me to a link where I can actually download a firmware file for sm-t350 8.0. I'm in a bootloop right now with TW RP installed. I actually got it from somebody who was throwing it away. Can anyone help? I apologize if I did not research enough.
Edit: the previous owner told me that he has installed a bad rom.
