I was running on 4.3 jellybean and I updated to official 4.4.2 ROM on my galaxy S3 GT-I9305. After that I am having a lot of issues with the phone and the overall performance and plus fast battery draining. I like 4.3 jelly bean 4.3 a lot so I tried to figure out any way to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3... By chance I came across a thread regarding on how to downgrade 4.4 to 4.3
here is the link > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744061
Unfortunately the method was for S4 but I think that it might work the same for the S3 model as well...
So can I use the same method for S3 GT-I9305 to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3? or by any chance is there a more easy way than that?

It seems not that easy according to this thread: Downgrade Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-i535 from 4.3 to 4.1.2, is it possible.
And this: [Q] Hwo to downgrade to ML1 from Verizon S3 SCH-i535 JSS15J.VRUCNC1?.
Best to ask in the Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Maybe someone with the same device can confirm and/or explain why it's not possible.
(AFAIK, once flashed KK firmware, the bootloader is updated. If the bootloader is locked and only let's you boot into KK, this could be the reason. Just guessing ...)
Thread closed and thank you.
