Yep. I got that.

He's on the 4.3 MK4 now.

I'm assuming he wanted to go to 4.1.2, which Zen's MH3 will do, or flash back to the original stock version 4.1.1, which he can ODIN back to.

I thought the one click was the 4.3 MK4 he's already on. That's why I'm asking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cod3L1ne:
Even with 4.3 bootloader after using 1click I can still flash 4 1.2 roms. Unless I'm missing something why need a older bootloader when you can flash any rom version.

??SENT FROM MY SAMMY NIZOTE 2 DN3? BEAST??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
You're lucky you are on the older 4.3 bootloader, it sounds like anyways.The MK4 from the one click leak out of Designgears thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
The mj4 one-click (from the leak) has the mj4 bootloader. If you have the mk6 bootloader from the official 4.3 ota it will not allow the one-click to complete and the phone will be stuck in "download mode use kies" status until a successful Odin flash is subsequently completed.

I have tried all the other things I have read such as making sure Auto network switch and Always allow scanning is off. But nothing works. It is annoying to say the least.

So I just want to go back to the original stock rom...or at least 4.1.2.

Poster hasn't replied back, so guessing they figured it out.

There are options, just assuming they are on the MJ4 leak by way of the One Click, based on the first statement.

I tried this method and I got a Knox warranty void. Not OP's fault,i'm sure it was my error.

Being I got the void anyway,I wiped and installed KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5. It downgraded my BL to 4.1, then I rooted and flashed Slimbean 4.3 (with TWRP) with success. It counted against my binary download,but didn't trip knox again (Dont know if KNOX trips more then once). The only thing I did was used root explorer and deleted all Knox. Then I froze what was left with Titaniam.

EDIT

OK now I successfuly flashed the latest Slimkat with no problems what so ever. Still no trouble with Knox or bootloader. I have all backups of what I had installed.

Has anyone seen a i317m bootloader downgrade I have Mk5 . I see them for the 7000 version and this att one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
No bootloader downgrade for 4.3 official... That includes i317 - mk6 - and i317m - mk5.

If you are looking for a firmware downgrade, the i317m LJ2 (carrier specifics) are available from sammobile.com. I can also provide a Roger's specific MA3 which has the bootloader and tz removed. (Attempting to flash an older bootloader over an official 4.3 bootloader results in a borked Odin flash)

I was running Dn3, did a backup of it and flashed MIUI v5, which is a 4.1.2. I am confused though, am I still on a 4.3 bootloader, or a 4.1.2? Would it be ok to flash another 4.1.2? Or can I even restore backup? By the way, this miui v5 rom is amazing. Fast and stable, battery life is amazing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pavanchirmade:
I have a 317m on MK5 and I've been trying what - what and what-not to go back to 4.1.2. Knox keeps saying unsupported version. I wonder why they allowed 4.1.1 to be flashed but not 4.1.2? Is there a way of flashing any other bootloader? I want to go custom rom now. Enough with Samsung official.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sky007:
I have a 317M. Are you be able to back to 4.1.1? I want to back to 4.1.1 and unlock sim card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pavanchirmade:
Yes that works. You can try accessing the hidden menu for unlocking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrownDog99:
I have the 1317m. I took the ota to 4.3, which was a mistake because I void knox, oh well, there's no warranty anymore anyway. I flashed Dn3 and got sick of it, so I flashed a 4.1.2 miui v5 with know problem. I am just wondering if I am still on a 4.3 bootloader, which would be good because I have a backup of the 4.3 Dn3.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

There shouldnt be any problem going back because I am on 4.1.2 right now. And that was after the 4.3 stock. Maybe do what I did, flash Dn3, then go back. I think knox blocks it when you are using odin because I had know problem wit CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
The 4.3 OTA gave you the 4.3 bootloader. No way back from that. Bootloader that is.

There guides in this forum to get you back to earlier versions ie 4.1.2. If you desire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrownDog99:
Since I am on 4.1.2, you must be able to flash an earlier version with a 4.3 boot loader? So theres know problem going back to 4.3? Or flashing another 4.1.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
It depends. Kinda. This thread is for downgrading 4.3 MJ4 bootleader. The leak.

There is no way to downgrade the 4.3 MK6 bootleader. The OTA.

You can use ODIN back to 4.1.1 and OTA to 4.1.2 on the 4.3 MK6 bootloader.

And as the thread is about the MJ4 4.3 bootloader, you can flash back an earlier bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrownDog99:
Ok thanks. At least I can downgrade roms if I want, then go back to 4.3 later. Hopefully one day there will be a fix for downgrading bootloaders 7sing mk6. By the way, u am using Miui v5 and it is amazing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:

I was able to successfully odin Philz recovery on my note 2 running the dreaded MK5 knox bootloader with knox flag 1 and custom flag 15. I installed the DN3 rom and everything is running fine. So I guess all is not lost. We can still use roms that support this bootloader.

OT: Its been a year since I got this note 2 and the battery performance is not up to mark. How long does the note 2 battery typically last? Is it time to get a new battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Absolutely. And supersu nukes the nagging.

Throw a battery stats app on see what's going on. There are some things now that run and eat battery. If you use note 3 features from D3. That's going chew on some power
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pavanchirmade:
I experienced poor battery life on official MK5. Wake Lock Detector said 12% to 18% awake but battery wouldn't last more than half a day. As far as DN3 goes, I flashed it last night and yet to find out how the battery performs. In DN3 the WLD app says 6% to 8% awake. I just wanted to ask how long the battery stays good. Does it go bad in a year?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Batteries obviously don't last forever. But I would say after about 500 charge cycles. The battery would start to depreciate in holding a charge for long as it did when it was New.

I know these batteries don't have memory, but they do ware out with time.

I do know what you mean cuz I can eat thru a full stock battery in a few hours 6+ of use. Then it's time to charge again.

Invest in a zero lemon if you plan on keeping the phone for awhile...

Well with it it's on Amazon.

I want to go back to 4.1.2 but I am not able to odin that firmware to my phone. However I am able to go back to 4.1.1. The bootloader stays the same though (the dreaded knox flag one).

I am using DN3 on my 317m and the battery performance is still ****ty. If I flash the 4.1.1, will I be able to OTA update to 4.1.2? I have not done the triangle away and it says 15 counts and knox warranty flag is 1. Will i still be able to OTA? AFAIK OTA is not allowed for out of warranty phones right?

Bottom of the op is the mj4 (leaked 4.3) bootloader.

The leaked loader can run all roms (not 4.1.2 stock) with no issues. It can also be downgraded (as opposed to the official release).

Try flashing that instead of using the patch. It's much more stable.

If you want to go back to 4.1.2 stock after that all you have to do is reflash that loader.

After running 4.3 perfectly having flashed files 1 and 2 everything was fine...went to restore 4.1.2 backup no problem. Upon trying to restore my 4.3 leak backup, the rom restores but nearly every single app, including all gapps and even the system force close, essentially locking up the system. Flashed exactly as described. Is there something I'm missing or needed to do extra other than flash the first two files in Odin to break 4.3 boot loader and Knox then restore? Am planning on restoring back to 4.1, reflashing 4.3 thru one click odin, flashing boot and Knox break and doing another restore of backed up 4.3 rom, although I'm highly doubtful this will be any different...I'm just a little confused as maybe I misread the op that once the files posted in post 1 were flashed properly we were free to flash between 4.1 and 4
