I, thank you for using XDA Assist. If I understand your question you have a Tab 3 that is running Android 4.4.2 and you want to flash is back to Android 4.2.2? Many Samsung AT&T devices will not let you go backwards in firmware. But the best place to ask this question is here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3

Hi I have a GT-N8010 WiFi and by mistkae I downloaded the latest update but it was for a GT-N8000. As the firmware for the N8000 is later than the firmware for the N8010 I am having difficulty returning it to be a N8010. I have found that the N8000 firmware has replaced the bootloader. This appears to be a secure bootloader and cannot be replaced by the N8010 bootloader as it is an older version, any help would be appreciated with the bootloader please.

Done both but still no results even Sammobile came back with
As far as I can see, no one has got around this problem.
The n8000 firmware has replaced the bootloader.
This appears to be a secure bootloader and cannot be replaced by the N8010 bootloader as it is an older version as you correctly pointed out.
Sorry all i can think of is to flash a new bootloader . But i do not know re locked boot loaders if you can .
I wonder if XDA Forums XDA Assist would be worth asking in .

I do not think it is possible as the bootloader for the 8000 is newer than the 8010 date is, it appears you cannot go backwards.
With regards XDA Assist, this was my original thought, I had/have searched everywhere however from XDA Assist the following
Thread moved (GT-N8010 that thinks it is a GT-N8000)
I wanted to let you know that your thread GT-N8010 that thinks it is a GT-N8000 has been moved from the XDA Assist forum to the Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Any help anywhere would really be appreciated but many thanks for yours to date.

Has anyone got any thoughts yet on how to get my GT-N8010 that thinks it is a GT-N8000 back to just being a GT-N8010 wi-fi please.
Has anyone got around this problem please.
I inadverdantly replaced the the firmware on my N8010 (wifi) with the N8000 firmware and this has replaced the bootloader.
This appears to be a secure bootloader and I am informed that it cannot be replaced by the N8010 bootloader as that is an older version. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated as I would like to get it back to being a GT-N8010 (wifi)
Anyone got thoughts as to what I can do to get my N8010 back from thinking it is a N8000 please.
In General section their is a post with 4 part N8000 files.
I would be looking at 3 parts . apn mode csc flashing without bootloader .

Sorry not really understanding your answer to my question, so to clarify my question relates to a N8010 wifi but unfortunately by accident I updated with the wrong files and it now thinks it is a N8000. As the updated file N8000 is newer than the current file N8010 and the bootloader is locked it seems impossible to revert back. This has been on going for some time and I thought someone by now would have a solution for the problem. Many thanks for your thoughts really appreciated.
My thought was to update all to 8010 bar the bootloader if it was possible and I don't know if it is .
You will be lucky to get help as Note 10.1 is no longer read by many .

Many thanks for your response, from what I can gather the Bootloader is locked and because of this and the fact that the updates are newer than any N8010 it does not allow this to be done. Maybe one day I will get lucky but many thanks once again.
