Rolling Back after taken leaked 4.4.2

Hello I've been rooting and Flashing ROMS since my Droid X, Thunderbolt, and S3,S4 and I jumped to the note 3. Was wondering if there is direction on how to roll back to 4.3 if I really wanted to, I have flashed leaked kitkat, and BajaROM but for some reason I do miss the options I had with using 4.3 and the amount of roms available. :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
To roll back from nc2 kk, you odin jb stock then reroot using kingo or vroot...whichever you prefer to use.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Powerknight:
Thanks alot, still debating if I'm going to switch back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] coyote81:
I am currently on stock rom JB and rooted. But have been debating going back to no Root. What happens if I take the OTA, will it brick my phone?

Do I need to unroot via Odin first? Or can I just take the OTA and everything be OK with me not rooted and on KK?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I had issues trying to take OTA while rooted just fails no brick. Had to use Odin to go back to stock but VZW repair assitant worked as well. Was then able to take OTA to update. Keep in mind that this was to go to 4.3

Can I roll back from NC2 to MJE using odin stock firmware? Can you please give me the right firmware to use. Will I loose the root when I do this. Is there a way to roll back without loosing root?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
1. Yes

2. MJE from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524572

3. Yes

4. No, you'll need to reroot.

<Note3>
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] susieq29:
Is there a site or video with directions to do the rollback I do not want to make any mistakes? I have odin and the firmware I used to originally get to MJE now I need directions to rollback.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] grniyce:
Well I guess I'm first to admit I'm one of the unlucky ones that updated my phone to OTA today, and I did not retain root, so I guess I'm stuck now unless anyone knows any way to flash this back to stock or some other method. I'm going to hate this device without root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
There's nothing special really. Save what you want to your external sd. Then flash mje with odin, and you've rolled back. The mje odin file contains everything you need, unlike the two file method to get to kk. Then reroot with your preferred method (vroot/kingo). I know there's oodles of vid-tuts on using odin. And a few in both the dev and general sections of the vzw n3 forums. If you need to recap your steps to ensure you don't make a mistake (never anything wrong with that ;) ), that will be a good place to look!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Borderpatrol1987:
Theirs no root or going back once your on the OTA
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BossJ:
So wait... Can we interchange modems like nc4 with beans new nc2 ROM?? Without messing things up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bd177:
I did with no problem. Just flash with Odin.

activated OTA by mistake- interrupted- now what?

"Kitkat leak for the Verizon Note 3...There are so many unique things about this build, that every user who installs it should treat it like gold and avoid OTAs like the plague."

I've been following the threads taking the above advice and preparing to move from JB to the KK NC2. I have Safestrap 3.65 installed, Odin running, KitKat NC2 standing by on the PC and the Beans' Deodexed ROM on phone external flash. The SM-N900V is rooted via Chainfire SuperSU. I own the device and have no maintenance from VZW. No need to remain stock.

I've postponed the VZW OTA about 6 times. This morning somehow the OTA offer popped up under my finger while it was already moving to the touchscreen and by sheer bad luck I activated the OTA which led to a surprising immediate reboot. Now the bootloader is by default in a download mode. "RECOVERY BOOTING" and then "installing system update." I immediately removed the battery. Then I tried rebooting into safestrap using volume-down + center button + pwr and I get the safestrap download in progress screen which says: "Downloading do not turn off target."

Curious what options I have to retain 4.3 so I can proceed with the upgrade to KitKat NC2.

1) let the OTA continue and hope that it fails and reverts to 4.3 as someone reported on Android Central

2) commence the Odin flash of the BeansTown ROM and proceed to attempt the switch to NC2?

3) some other way to interrupt the bootloader and reboot existing OS such as calling VZW to cancel my OTA?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I don't know how safestrap interacts with the bootloader or when the irrevocable events occur.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Michael R.:
Have you tried just a regular boot to see what happens? If I recall using the button recovery will always take you to the download mode screen, and twrp comes up after the initial load. If you see twrp I'd say re flash and start over. If you don't get it and it continues to try to update I would say standby for someone who knows more. Best of luck

Edit: nevermind, didn't read your "download by default" part. Still best of luck...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
If you are rooted and safe strapped, the update will fail.

I finally got my note 3 a few days ago, this morning I did the "Vroot" (I didn't get chance to verify root access, as I needed to entertain my son for a few minutes with a game. After 2 minutes he gave it back "it's not working daddy", he had accepted an update. I just checked no root access.

Anyone try to connect a flash drive with an OTG cable? I am s-off, perm root with TWRP recovery on stock rom. I ordered a 64gb SD card because my 32gb was getting full. I pulled out the 32gb and put it in a thumb drive type USB adapter and connected it via an OTG cable to transfer everything over but it seemed to be constantly bouncing between being connected and disconnecting. Is this a KitKat issue it something HTC has done?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fwp:
Is it one of the SanDisk Mobile Mate adapters? I have had those corrupt cards often; more often than not actually, and had issues with it dropping out like you said. Not just on Android either. Have you tried an actual thumbdrive? I am not positive, but there may be constraints on what file system you use as well. To be safe, try formatting a thumbdrive as fat32 or ext3 and see what happens. If that's stable, try a different adapter.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] animez:
The adapter is by IOGear and has worked with this setup on other phones. I did a little more experimenting this morning. I tried another 32gb card that behaved the same way, but I was able to mount both a 1gb card and a 16gb thumb drive. Just to see what happened I also plugged in a 320gb USB powered external drive, it powered up and the phone saw it but told me it was blank or used an unrecognized file format. It may be NTFS, I'm not sure.

The only way you could get Isis to work in the scenario is by restoring a backup from Isis that was made on 4.3. Im not syre if you can without root though.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric303:
Hey guys i'm trying to fix a friend's i9300. He bought it from someone already in the current state.

It boots to the samsung logo but does nothing after that

Model: GT-I9300

FCC ID: A3LGTI9300A

SSN: I9300GSMH

I have tried to ODIN I9300ZNUBML1_I9300CHUBML1_CHU.zip onto it, but it says its missing pit partition, so i tried to load a pit onto it, I've tried GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit but it gets stuck of getting pit mapping.

What am I doing wrong? I have no clue which country this phone is from either.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-semler:
I have attached the *.PIT file I used to restore my phone. It is for the 16GB i9300. Remember in ODIN to include the ROM in the /PDA section, and the *.pit file in the section where it asks for it. Have the following boxes checked:

Re-Partition

Auto-Reboot

F. Reset Time.

Phone Bootloader Update

Flash the ROM, and let ODIN do it's thing. DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR DEVICE UNTIL IT IS DONE!! Doing this will completely wipe the phone, and return it to a factory state.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Flash the firmware and pit at the same time, or try the rescue firmware in general thread.

If it still fails then emmc chip is blown, new motherboard required.

Hi Folks,

I have recently bought the Holux CR-100 cradle with in built GPS receiver. All I get from my XDA is 'No GPS Signal' - the light on the receiver is flashing to suggest that it has found satellites.

I have disabled the IRDA - but when I put my XDA in the cradle it tires to connect to a PC using Active Sync. My XDA is from O2 and has their front end installed.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get these items to connect? All suggestions gratefully received!!

Thanks

I have spent a day and a half trying to fix all of my issues before I finally turned here but I am at my wits end.

This all started with my attempt to flash Viper to my HTC one. I installed clockwork touch loaded Viper to the drive and went to install. During the install process something happened and my install failed. When I rebooted the phone it returned to the fasboot screen and there was no recovery present. I had heard that sometimes TWRP works better for installing some ROMs so I decided to switch courses and try that. Before installing I went and formatted cache, data, ect. When I tried to install Viper this time it appeared to be a successful install. However, I was once again I was returned to the fastboot screen and no recovery was present. I tried this a few more times with either clockwork or TWRP using sideload with no luck. I also trried using fastboot to flash a sprint stock recovery boot and image. When the phone rebooted it showed the white HTC Screen but nothing happened for a half hour so I restarted the phone again only to be dropped into the fastboot. I also tried locking and unlocking the boot loader and tried a Sprint HTC one RUU with no success.

So at this moment this is where I stand:

I am on the fastboot screen with no recovery.

HBOOT 1.56.0000

S-ON

Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for your time.

... now that its up and running, i recommend you get s-off 1st. it eases many things. then flash twrp 2.7.0.4 recovery and try to flash viper :victory: ...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Edde3d:
I was in this situation myself. If you can adb twrp recovery onto your phone. Dont try to flash viper with cwm it will mess stuff up. After you have a recovery loaded flash the viper rom. If it boots up be sure to check about phone section in the settings and see if there is a baseband version present. If not just flash the latest firmware and you should be good to go. This was what i had to do.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] RavenFB:
Same here, about a month ago. They really need to just remove that option to flash CWM. I managed to get a recovery installed, but now it seems like half the ROMs I try to flash won't boot. I don't even know what Rom I am using, because it has disappeared from XDA. It's a 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 ROM, and it is odexed and came with Xposed Installer. It's the only ROM that seems to work anymore, so I have to wonder if my firmware got messed up. I'm S-On, with no way to S-off for the foreseeable future until I can fix my laptop. Since my laptop is unavailable, I'm a bit hesitant to mess with the phone much more, since I can't fix it again without the computer.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slyest12:
I've read a number of these threads, and many have Viper in common. Viper by itself is an amazing ROM. Maybe too amazing... Incredible amount of customization. I have to remind myself occasionally that as much as I flash ROMs and lurk around here that I am not a dev.

I would do my best to achieve S-OFF if you have any plans for custom ROMs. It's always useful. I would also suggest trying one of the Sense 6 ROMs. They are all amazing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] GuestD2540:
S-OFF is necessary for some ROMs to work, although I'm not sure about Viper. Use firewater.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Betraythesway:
I am very sorry I know this is a slow response. So I tried to first root my phone so I could use firewater but I ran into issues. First, I tried to place supersu on the internal hard drive via windows but when I rebooted into recovery I was not able to find any of the folders I had access to. So i tried using side load but got errors that I could not mount cache and could not mount system. Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Biochemlab:
Hello friends at XDA!

I need some help. I have a Tmobile M7 HTC One. I have TWRP 2.7 running just fine. I have been able to flash a few ROM's using just that. I now want to install Kitkat GPe and it seems to require S-Off or else I get stuck in a bootloop. For what it's worth, I have Hboot 1.44. The phone has developer mode turned on. And it has USB debugging turned on.

I made such a mess that I formatted the whole device and had to flash a new ROM via USB OTG. It's back in working order now... but, not with the ROM I want. Currently running the newest stable Cyanogen Mod.

I have attached the phone to a Windows 7 and Windows 8 computer. Neither of them will recognize the phone.

On the Win7 machine, I had HTC Sync installed and closed. I also installed Squabbi's Toolkit and attempted to install the drivers from it. When I click the HTC Drivers button, nothing happens. I have tried connecting to adb through the tooklit and turning S-off... but, they all return some version of the Error: Device Not Found message.

On the Win8 machine, there was no HTC software, so I installed Squabbi's kit. I pressed the HTC Drivers button and it said it had installed new hardware... but, again, ADB won't connect.

I, frankly, don't care about ADB or s-off, as I've never needed them before. I just want to install 4.4 GPe. If I can do that without S-off, please point me in that direction. If I can turn S-off directly from the phone without ADB, please point me in that direction. And if I really need ADB to work, please help!

I'm almost certain this solution is already posted somewhere... and I'm just not able to find it... sorry to be a drag if that's the case. Either way, I'd be happy to reward (paypal) the person/people who help me get this resolved. I'm thinking like $10...

Thanks everyone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mrozowjj:
It's bone stock. I haven't even bothered to root it yet. Recently in the last week or two, sometimes after I updated to the most recent update the phone has become sluggish. The keyboard will sometimes take a long time to pop up and then when it does it will be laggy to type. It reminds me of how the stock messaging app was which is why I installed Textra.

Hitting the home or power button doesn't always take it up, I've tried holding the home button and still doesn't seem to work, still just a black screen. Holding the power button down it will eventually bring up the menu with "power off, reboot" etc on it and then I can use the home button but still sluggish.

I tried booting into Safe Mode and that seems to make it work normally.

I can't remember installing anything new recently so I'm wondering what could have caused the issues I'm experiencing? I know the boards are mostly geared towards people that root their phone and install custom roms but this is driving me crazy.
