[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiut:
I have a device that was upgraded mistakenly to the latest 4.3 OS version. I do not want 4.3 and want to downgrade it back to 4.1.2 stock.

What would be the simplest way to do so, warranty is not an issue.

So far I've tried reflashing a stock ROM (N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDMF1_N7100XXDMF1_HOME.tar.md5) using Odin with instructions I've found in another thread. Unfortunately it failed every time I tried, it either fails writing NAND or it goes through the whole process and fails at the end writing modem.

Is there a correct/incorrect firmware that needs to be used, how do I find out which is the right one?

Also is there an easier option to downgrade the OS ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Check out this thread and download the firmware name starting with MSR. It is a working one, BUT it works when you haven't rooted your phone or incremented the Knox.

Definitely check it out, it worked for me.

Try with older version odin. I have ver 1.85.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiut:
I used Odin 3.09. At the moment I managed to recover the phone back with Kies.

Is there anything I should try differently?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exceptionalkhan:
To be frank, let me tell you my story!

First I upgraded to 4.3 using odin and leaked firmware. Then flashed 4.3 maybe indian or chinese version. Then tried the other firmwares in the linked thread to downgrade to 4.1.2 it failed except the MSR version. And it incremented the flash counter not by one but by two. I tried both odin version 3 and 1.85. Incase of failure it lost recovery and I had to reflash 4.3 to get phone to working. Actually it was my friend's phone so I didn't root it. Thats the story. If you have good Internet speed, definitely check these other firmwares. First download these 4.3s and 4.1.2s and flash first 4.3 then downgrade using other 4.1.2s number by number and so on.... hope it helps.

[Galaxy Note II General] lgstoian:
As the title states this Chinese ROM has been released for our phone. From what I gather it is similar to MIUI in the sense of it being a rather hefty redesign of the default Android UI.

How's it for a daily driver? Any knows issues? Camera/Sound/calls all working fine?

Do you install it just like any other custom ROM? i.e. root, move zip to SD card and flash it via recovery?

Been running it as a daily for past 3 days, no issues detected.

Make sure you have updated CWM recovery since it's 4.2.2

For those like me, do test in Chinese rom Smartisan OS, and want to root, use this link, and flash in recovery, go to the icon Su and run it, it worked for me in 90%, reinstalled my APPs by Titatiun Backup just can not acessoa the backup folder Titaniun that is on the card, but transfer this folder to the internal memory and I could install 90% of my apps.

I used this link:

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...18152&third=15

==============================================================================================================================================================

Flashed , then i ran titanium restore w/o issues.

After flashing update via OTA, root access was kept.

Edit.

It finally worked. My review

A total waste of time. It feels like the ROM was made by some kid who just started out with making ROMs. The ui is like made for people who can't see, you know like the elder cuz everything is soo big. Basically a simple 4.2.2 cm ROM modified into something not so great.
[Xperia Z1 General] Minibull:
Hi all,

So I've just bought a new Z1 to replace my Xperia S. I was a bit worried about the screen troubles, but now that I have it in my hand, it actually not that bad at all. Everything is good with the phone, but I was wondering about the serial numbers.

After finding a thread where serial numbers were trying to be linked with poor screens, I saw variations of BH or CB listed as the serial. BH901, CB512, etc.

I went to find mine, and I wasn't able to find anything on the net about it. Seems the serial is BH910. Anyone have any info, or have one the same?

Also, is there anyway I can find the date of manufacture for the phone? I haven't been able to find a country of origin either, even though it's going to be China or Brazil.

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 General] @ARC-S@:
Maybe your phone comes from an even newer batch of Z1 :D You might be lucky!

Check if you have the yellow tint or touch screen issues... Maybe Sony solved it in your batch :D

My serial is CB512, I have the touch screen problem AND the yellow tint... :((((
[Xperia Z1 General] Minibull:
Yeah, I'm kinda thinking the same now, which hopefully means the same all around the world. Like they have finally corrected all the issues, albeit a bit late. Kinda sucks as I now see the confirmation for the Z2...:eek:

I've been going through all the touchscreen issue threads, cant repeat any kind of problems at all with it. Just keeps tracking perfectly.

Same with the screen, I can't see any yellow shade. Colours look great, viewing angles do change the colours a tiny bit, but it's better than the Xperia S. Compared it to 2 Xperia S phones, and it looks brighter and also a more "correct" looking white to the rather blueish white of the Xperia S. Gunna go into a shop here and compare to a display Z1 soon.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
Where is that confirmation?
[Xperia Z1 General] stra:
My Z1 is from even newer batch, I suppose (if that's what it means), with serial BH912. Screen is great, though for a while after updating to 4.3 it became warmer but then returned back, by itself, to the colder colors.

Though, the update to 4.3 nearly gave me a heart attack then the phone did not start after it. I had to plug it into charger and do the power button + volume up procedure to return it back to life.

Bought it yesterday, and I do not care about upcoming Z2, - you can never stay on top of things with technology nowadays, there is something new and better all the time.

This is an awesome phone and I expect that Sony will provide major OS upgrades for at least a couple of years to come. And I expect that this will mean that there will be RAW photo functionality, which is something that I want the most, as everything else is excellent.
[Xperia Z1 General] CSL00:
Mine's is BH900, model C6943, no yellow tint, compared to Xperia ZQ (brazilian Xperia ZL) but definitely touch screen issue. To be sure do the touch screen test on the service menu while gripping the metal bezel.
[Xperia Z1 General] Minibull:
I just saw it in the general forum. Sure it's not really official, but still.

Mine was already running 4.3 when I got it, I didn't have to update it. Maybe the serial numbers don't relate to build date XD

Definatly it is a great phone so far, pretty much just what I was looking for. I was sick of the Xperia S running out of ram and just general laggyness. This is a welcome change, so so smooth at doing anything. I did an Antutu benchmark and got 35139, not that it means much.

And yeah, I don't reckon the "Z2" or whatever it will be called at MWC will be a replacement.

Just done a load more tests, nope can't get it to glitch out.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
lol its a rumour... don't believe anything you see in the general section... a lot knee jerk reactions here.... if it is official, you will hear it from sony or get some leaked pictures etc... example, the Z1 compact has been leaked since november... we had the actually pictures... back then everyone whats shouting Z2!Z2! turns out its just a Z1 mini lol

few things you need to remember before believing rumours of flagships:

1. real sony flagship has japanese names

2. they release it first in UK and Asia before the US

3. we will have real leaks months before official release (actual picture of the looks, or camera quality etc) not just someone saying it.

do not give f* with these reports.

for example xperiaguide site report some specific serial numbers that have no problem and others have!!! even newer!

Clear white, no yellow hue (serial starts with)

Clear white, after using screen adjuster (serial starts with)

Yellow hue (serial starts with)

(2x) BH904****

BH905****

BH909****

how it possible when there s same tech used for display!

these are bull**** and just users experience

in this list there s both new and old serial number that has problem!

u must check it technically;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49407649&postcount=174

after all in new update for xperia z1 we will get white-balance app that can end up all these reports!

i had xperia Z and i bought it few days after international release and almost of users talked about bad display! yeah that was not like AMOLED But it was LCD and one of the best LCD i used. then white-balance came and i change it to blue hue to be like amoled;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283473

after that almost of users got that there was kernel problem and not hardware!

in my eyes Z1 screen when u i go to setting is grey and not yellow.

also check this for touch-screen problem.

and look on LG G2 screen that seems yellow !! (it s not yellow exactly it s LCD)

Hmm. I'm thinking of buying a Z1 on ebay, based on the above should I avoid the serial numbers mentioned or is it just pot luck ?
[Xperia Z1 General] x102x96x:
these are just nonsense collection from xperiaguide site.

buy Xperia Z1 and enjoy there s no display issue at all the yellow tint or hue and ... are just because of calibration and not because of bad hardware. the calibration will be nice after next firmware update (that will add white-balance)
