[Q] (Q) How to downgrade my note10.1 N8000 back to 4.1.2 from 4.4.2 - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently, an official android kit kat 4.4.2 update was available for note 10.1 and i've updated it. I found out my "most used" features are all gone and it lags sometimes, it also won't support my old apps (eg. papago), it really sucks very much. I wanted to downgrade back to SAMSUNG STOCK ROM jellybean 4.1.2 so.... can anyone help me? I Really LOVED the jellybean system very much
My device is rooted.

If you have KitKat bootloader, there is no way to downgrade now. If you still have jellybean bootloader, then you can. Get root checker on play store and see what your bootloader version is first. Then if its anything other that the newest (will probably match your baseband in last three digits) you can downgrade.

I believe you can still downgrade even if you have the new bootloader as long as you use Mobile Odin.
If you are going to attempt this, make sure you make a nandroid backup first!

Yeah don't use PC ODIN or you could have an expensive doormat. If I recall, mobile ODIN doesn't flash modems, but unsure about bootloader. Maybe someone else can help there, but DO NOT PC ODIN from 4.4.2 to anything under with the bootloader you have.

You can simply downgrade by using Mobile Odin. I have also done it that way because I don't really like Kitkat at the moment on my tablet.
Mobile Odin doesn't flash bootloader/pit files, but everything else. So, just download your JB Firmware, put it on your tablet, download Mobile Odin from the Play Store, open it and select your Firmware. Done.

That SIMPLE??? I'm still a little confused...no need factory reset? or wipe cache and something else?
Can you teach me step by step? (I'm scared of bricking my device, i've bricked GT-P1000 Galaxy Tab once before. I don't hope to have second time..)

Well yes you need to tick wipe data in Mobile Odin then hit flash Firmware. Nothing bad should happen

In the picture, i was confused in which to choose first (to do first)
Could you pleaseeee guide me through?:good: THX ALOT

Click on open file and select your .tar.md5 file/firmware. Then tick 'Wipe data and cache' but keep in mind that your Tablet is going to get factory reseted.
Finally hit somewhere down below flash firmware or sth like that.

It's easy to download from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2
What you need?
1. Odin3-v1.85 flash tool
2. 4.1.2 firmware, like this format xxxx.tar.md5.
How to?
make sure your device is in Downloading... mode
connect your device to PC and open Odin3-v1.85 and select pda and choose the xxxx.tar.md5 file and then click the START
it will be OK in 5mins

Thanks anyway I've downgraded with ERIC-MOD's help. If I haven't mistaken, I tried this before and it got my device soft bricked, however I managed to unbrick it, is to flash back the kitkat 4.4.2 firmware.

Does Eric-Mod's downgrade tutorial remove knox if I come back to 4.1.2?

Answer: YES.
Comments:
As a senior member, I think it is very obviously that you should know KNOX is a new app and it is only for android 4.3 or higher if i had not mistaken (correct me if it is a mistake). If you liked KNOX alot i think its better not to downgrade it. After downgrading, it will become just as what it originally has.
Want KNOX? update to samsung official update android 4.4 kitkat.
Hate KitKat's "functionless" update? Downgrade.
Thats what i have, to say.

Did u buy this used from someone? Do u know if it's rooted? If u aren't sure trying downloading an app that requires root and see if it works. Of it doesn't then you're stock

Yes I bought it used.
I can definitely test to see if it is rooted, hopefully the chances it has a custom Rom but was then unrooted are slim.

I have tried to see if I can get the ICS update via Kies, but I get the message
your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware vis kies

If I type *#1234# in the phone dialer I get
PDA7300XXKE8
PHONE: P7300XXKE7
CSC7300XAKE8
So i am still trying to figure out why I cant update with Keys, if it is because it is on a non Stock Firmware or if it is because I am in the US and it seems to be a UK tab.
Does someone knows if you can run Kies for an Update while in the US on a UK tablet ?

If it is on a custom rom then no you cant update that way. Also might have a prob as it will not see an update as your not in the devices default country.
I don't know much about that model of phone, but I think it would be a good idea to wipe and flash a stock image - one that will give you factory recovery (not having it can stop you from getting updates - one possibility). That way you know you are starting clean.

More then that, who knows what glitches piled up while previous owner fooled around with it?
If you reset it, you will at least get stock, well-known glitches .

I have already reset the device, but as far as I know (read) resetting the device does not go back to a stock ROM if a custom One was installed, it only goes back to the default of the Custom ROM.

Hmm, I guess you are right. I mixed up 'rooting' and 'custom roms'.
By the way, I suppose custom rom does not even have to be rooted. so 'root checker' might a good, but not 100% accurate check.
Just reflash an other ROM, a stock one perhaps? Or some other one, that suits you better?

This is why I recommend you re-flash stock with factory recovery using a computer, not just the "factory reset" option in the phone.

I would recommend simply finding your stock firmware and flashing it. That should do the trick. Or you can just find another ROM, why disable the goodyness of having a rooter phone by unrooting it?

A new twist has surfaced.
First it appears that KE8 is a samsung firmware so i am on stock
But the twist is that this tablet as a fully functional Phone dialer in the Samsung mini app panel and can place and receive phone calls.
Doing some research I found out normally none of these tablets have phone functionality except some of the early demo models.
So either the previous owner had found a way to add phone capabilities to the stock firmware, or it is one of the early models (after all it is running 3.0.1).
In both cases, I would guess it means that if I update to a more recent stock firmware, I will likely loose phone capabilities.
Does someone know if there is a way to find out if a firmware has phone support?
Is there a way to backup the current firmware in the tablet before flashing a new one so I could go back to it ?
Thanks to all for the answers so far!

[Q] Stock GT-N8013 Samsung ROM

Does anyone know where or even if there are just plain vanilla stock unrooted Samsung ROMS for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 (US variant)?? I rooted and flashed a custom ROM to my tablet and after awhile, I decided I wanted to go back to complete stock. I have seen threads with the original stock kernel and recovery, but I sort of wanted a full, 1gig+ stock unrooted ROM offered by Samsung.. I have seen stock ROMs for other series of this tablet, but I have been unable to find any for the N8013. Any help would be great! Thanks!
Sammobile.com has it, but ics only.

Go to www.samfirmware.com and select the firmware tab. Once you enter your tab details, the available firmware is there to download.
Install with Odin and you'll have your stock tab back.
I did that recently having installed the UK JB firmware, but managed to get a binary count of 12 (increased by 2 per flash)
Now I am back to standard and waiting for the official OTA upgrade *yawn*
Good luck

Can't Get Firmware
Unfortunately, SamFirmWare.com won't let me download the firmware. It asks me to log in, and I do. Then when I go to the Firmware page, it forgets who I am, and tells me to log in again. It doesn't forget anywhere else, JUST on the firmware page.
I tried setting up another account, but they want my credit card info for that now, and I ain't giving that out!
I know that this is the name of the file you are looking for. Do a search for it and this will get you back to a stock ROM.
I know because I had to use it once to recover a quasi-brick issue on my tablet.

Not exactly what you're looking for but this one is all stock, latest firmware except it is deodexed and retains root. You can re-odex the ROM if you want. Been running it for a while now and it's been pretty damn good.

Install Triangle Away first then run the app to clear firmware counts.

After restart do a factory reset from tablet recover mode.

Updating via odin won't void your warranty
Or, you still have your warranty,so why don't you ask in service center to upgrade your firmware.
Ok, thanks a lot.
One last thing though: Can something bad/harmful for my phone happen if upgrade with Odin?Can you indicate me best thread that teaches correctly how to update via Odin?

On the web site are official ROMs.

In Search type s5670 and you'll get Firmware for install. Install Firmware for your region. After install it via ODIN,
connect your phone with PC, open KIES and you'll get notification about Firmware that you have installed.
I do not think they should more receive such a notice, but notification that is your last firmware official.

YOU are yourself your best guide..just READ READ and READ before you do anything with odin..its little risky,but not hard at all!

Watch 2-3 videos of upgrading galaxy fit in his playlist and you are good to go..

SM-N900W8 4.4.2 Kit Kat Available

The SN-N900W8 Version of the Note 3 is finally seeing its Official Kit Kt Update.
The first carriers seeing the update are in Canada. Hope The rest of America will see it soon enough.
Please check Software updates in your phone or go to the usual sites to download and install via ODIN.
Please also report if you install this version in phones from other regions/providers, like South America.
Regards
You can download it from:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900W8
Just be sure to use your correct model and Odin version according to the instructions in each site.
Everything is under your own risk as usual.
I updated via ODIN without doing Resets or CleanUps, and it upgraded to 4.4.2 pretty nice, while keeping all my apps and without losing data.

Can you point me in the right direction.
I did an updated to 4.4.2 (KK) with Kies successfully, but I can't get root back.
Tried CF-Autoroot as before, but my recovery always says "recovery is not seandroid enforce" and just reboots to normal phone without supersu.
Any help by anybody would be appreciated.

Just be sure to use your correct model and Odin version according to the instructions in each site.
Everything is under your own risk as usual.
I updated via ODIN without doing Resets or CleanUps, and it upgraded to 4.4.2 pretty nice, while keeping all my apps and without losing data.

I wonder if the bootloader kept the same advantages there were pretty unique to the W8 model with the initial leak?

Well. It seems like there are no new catchs or caveats, and everything is still the same as cool as before.

Can you point me in the right direction.
I did an updated to 4.4.2 (KK) with Kies successfully, but I can't get root back.
Tried CF-Autoroot as before, but my recovery always says "recovery is not seandroid enforce" and just reboots to normal phone without supersu.
Any help by anybody would be appreciated.

Friend: I think you better go and read the info in the Android Development Threads. The information there is very complete and fine.
Please be aware that the current root methods over 4.4.2 are for other models not the W8.
I think somebody needs to jump in here and test ways to do root. To be Honest, I don't do root with my Note 3, as I still have to find a reason to do it. For me everything is working nice without Root.
I was thinking about flashing official 4.4.2 for Telus/Koodo, but I haven't really seen anything that says it's rootable at the moment, so I'm hesitant to upgrade to stock 4.4.2. I'm really just looking for the latest Telus/Koodo modem from 4.4.2 (currently running MJ4 baseband), I'm pretty happy with CM11. Can I just extract the modem.bin from the 4.4.2 file from Sammobile and flash it with Odin?
I rooted my Bells Note 3, and it tripped knoxes.. Can I upgrade with Kies? or will it brick it?
I started the process with Kies and said rooted devices may fail if phone is rooted..
Anyone know for sure?
Thanks

Probably can't un-trip the knox but so what... I don't expect to get warranty so I'll do the best way, Odin and correct firmware. Then you'll have to re-root again. But you're knox tripped, meh..

It worked for me, Odin 3, Sammobile download like yours. Let it update and boot all the way settled. Re-rooted and TWRP. So far it's working fine.

If you have the time can you do a step by step guide on how you did the kit kat update, together with root and twrp, and if possible tell us where you got the right files from? Its kind of confusing what we can install and not install on our phones since there are so many different models for the note 3 and no one wants to trip knox if they dont have to.

Here is a quick and dirty guide of how I flashed and rooted 4.4.2 on my Bell Note 3.
1 download carrier firmware from sammobile
2 unzip to single tar file (N900W8VLUCNB7_N900W8OYACNB7_N900W8VLUCNB7_HOME.tar)
3 put phone in download mode (make sure you see the red/white text at the top i.e. if knox is tripped etc.)
4 open odin 3.09 as admin
5 click AP and select the tar file and then click start
6 wait
7 once phone is booted
8 download CF Root -> CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
9 I used odin supplied in the CF zip (Odin 3.07)
10 Select AP then -> CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5
11 Click Start
12 Wait for phone to reboot
13 Enjoy Root
At this point I also installed TWRP 2.7.0.0

LRA ☆SM-G920R6☆ Root without tripping Knox Counter

Hi. I'm finally can root my SM-G920R6. I use the KingRoot.apk the v4.80 and root the phone. But it's not full root. Them I use the SuperSuMe.exe on my PC to remove all the KingRoot app and install the official SuperSu.apk The program install it's self. And now we can install the correct binary and reboot the device and don't lose root... ohh and my Knox still 0x0... =) XD:laugh: :victory: :highfive:
Links:
●KingRoot v4.80
●SuperSuMe. for PC
Sincerely I don't know if full root or not. But for me is working. And other things I don't know is full knox disabled. The SuperSuMe block the knox in one of the process but I don't know if is disabled at all or not.
I wish this can't help all the SM-G920R6 user. And don't want to avoid the knox warranty.
The only thing you can see is every time you BootUp your phone it say Custom.
The next thing I'm going to do is make a full backup with FlashFire app because mi firmware not appear in SamMoblie. If one Dev can make something with this backup for make custom roms or something good for this devices model.
my phone info:
Android Version : 5.0.2
Baseband : G920R6WWU1AOE4
Build Number : LRX22G.G920R6WWU1AOE4
Hardware Version : G920R6.02
I'm not a good English speaker so I apologize my errors..
P.S.
Sorry I'm not a Dev. this is my first Thread and I do this for helping.
This is a little off topic for the op but I really need help right now.. I rooted with CF autoroot for G920F no problem then installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 zeroflteusc also built for G920F model and in the process of trying to find a better rom as soon as I had a custom recovery, me (being a dumba**) accidentally wiped my internal storage to do a clean flash of a rom therefore deleting the only backup I had. I've only been able to find the factory binary for this device which I flashed but it had literally nothing exept for basic testing software and a simple ui to run it. It was also stuck on Android 5.0.2 but I found a compatible rom with AllianceROM v1 with update v2 flashed for the G920F but I can't find any way to update past 5.0.2!! I've been trying to find a way to update somehow for weeks but nothing is compatible with my device and I'm stuck. Would someone that has my model running on Android 5.1.1 or 6.0/.1 please install the TWRP I mentioned before and make a backup of the system, modem, efs, and boot and post it online or send it to me it would be a lot of help.
Reasons I hate you I guess ?
You are a real piece of **** and a cancer to those with A ACTUAL SAMSUNG-SMG920V.
I don't even know why you posted this here you don't even have a SM G920R6.
Seriously you just made me give up hope once again on getting root on my SAMSUNG-SMG920 on android 6.0.1 :crying:
Sincerely yours ( Another piece of **** with this **** tastic phone that dies in 3 hours and you can do jack **** with)
P.s. It also dies in 3 hours no matter what I install on it no matter on many resource manager apps I use, it just ****ing dies.
P.s.s. Sorry for swearing so much...

Because my device is G920R6 originally and i want it back the 920F rom is barely compatible with my device as is and i want a stable rom made for my build and also to enlighten others of how i rooted this phone and what custom recovery is working for me. Even on 5.0.2 and an unstable rom my battery lasts 6+ hours of constant use so root is working fine for me.
So much hate.
yeah i see now this model phone is the ugly duck....
But some one have the factory firmware of this model flashable with odin. Thanks a lot.

yeap.. but when I install the recovery the phone gave a glitch.. its flipping the touch response inverted.. and the only fix is with root. and use the app. phone info.apk for Samsung and use the secret code with root because it is blocked on the dialer.
but i have the backup for the new firmware. not the android 5.0.2
