Hi guys,
I just want to ask if it is possible to flash any 4.2.2 Rom over a 4.3 one without changing the Bootloader or Modem (as far as I know kernel there are no other things updated in 4.3 except some features in stock Rom and kernel). I'm sorry if there is a thread like this one out there but I couldn't find it on my phone app
Thanks in advance for your time and help

Now why would you do that? It's like installing windows ME over Windows 7

It's because I like to have all the possibilities to personalise nz phone, and Roms like MIUI won't get 4.3 support in the next time it's just my opinion

4.3's stock kernel sucks hard. I've experienced "unexpectedly closed" errors with certain apps and the device sometimes reboots itself without apparent reason. Had to flash the latest franco's nightly kernel in order to get this faulty release somewhat stable.
Nice GoinGoogle.

It is possible with custom recovery, not possible with fastboot without updating the bootloader. You may use any modem. You need 4.3 kernel.
EDIT: my bad, it was other way around. Yes, it is possible.
4.3 stinks like hot garbage. I'm not upgrading, and I'm going to downgrade my new N7 to 4.2.2 if possible. 4.3 is like windows ME.
I still have 4.2.2 on my N4 and have only tried 4.3 on my Kindle Fire. From my experience I have little interest in upgrading my N4 for the time being, since 4.3.x will likely fix all the JSS and JWR issues.

I think your problem is caused by your usage pattern / apps which are not updated for 4.3, combined with unstable root. Don't blame Google unless you experience the same behaviour on unrooted stock.

Wrong.
I experienced those crashes while on stock, even with google applications. that's a faulty release, not faulty device nor usage. for god sake, even "settings" menu has "unexpectedly closed" on me once.

I have had totally different experience with 4.2.2. To be honest I didn't like it at all. I didn't find it as "rock solid" as many other users here. (I came from Galaxy Nexus. Android 4.2 compared to really rock solid jzo54k 4.1.2 was imo buggy as hell. It didn't bring any performance boost but rather did the opposite: BT, WIFI issues, mem leak etc.) Plus I found this low touch sensitivity extremaly irritating. I use rooted stock 4.3 and so far I haven't noticed any bigger issues. Even if I do I really don't see a point to go back to still buggy 4.2.2. I think my device performs much better on 4.3. Maybe it's just a placebo effect, but it feels snappier and smoother. Just my subjective opinion.
Of course I do understand people that miss their favorite custom roms, whose 4.3-versions are still unavailable.
4.2.2 had and has clearly wifi/bt issues (major data stalls, difficulties in re-enabling bt after 20-30 hours of uptime).
These issues were solved. however, I'd expect 4.3 to be as stable as it can be, especially when it took more than 5 months for its release. Unfortunately, that's not the case. not even close, which is rather embarrassing.
I really was expecting for iOS-like smoothness and stability by now.

Maybe that's been your experience but my experience has been the exact opposite. It's made my N4 even more of a pleasure to use. It's smoother, snappier, and battery life is amazing. Mind you, I've never really had any problems with 4.2.2 except maybe GPS locking problems, which 4.3 solved. The only real problem with 4.3 is this whole JWR/JSS nonsense.

Not sure what's going on your end but my phone has been rock solid with no FCs at all since upgrading to 4.3 using the factory image (I never go the OTA route)
In case you're both running a stock 4.3 (unrooted), you're more than welcomed to run "angry gran run - running game" by ace viral and watch it boldly & proudly crash. If not on beginning, after few minutes. Just only one example out of many.

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes.
I am on AOKP milestone 1 might update to milestone 2 soon. But what do I have to keep in mind when making the jump to 4.3? Will I be able to downgrade later without problems? I dont understand the modems and bootloader stuff. Plus if I flash 4.3 I will lose root, so how do I flash 4.3 without loosing root? do I root the phone again after flashing? or is there a shortcut?

You can flash a 4.3 rom in recovery, but its recommended to flash radio and bootloader in recovery.

Android 4.3 ROMs require radio version .84 (or a hybrid 27/84 or 33/84 radio) and bootloader version makoz20i. As Thibaultvw points out radio version .84 and bootloader version makoz20i are both available as flashable zip files and should both be installed before installing a 4.3 based ROM. In addition, Android 4.3 requires SuperSU version 1.51 for working root privileges.
After upgrading the radio and bootloader for Android 4.3, you can restore or install an Android 4.2.2 ROM without changing the bootloader or radio.

Give it a hard go bud lemme know how it works!
I tried a few roms out an seem to all have removed prl update, poor to little signal, broken gps locking, an a few other issues. My concern today I'm bringing up is wondering if anyone could supply me a clean stock rom. I need to wipe and install it. I feel going back to stock is my best option at this time so atleast my functions could work. Just at the moment kind of lost. sorry for the noob help.
What rom are you using that it's broken on? Working fine on tranquil but its far from a stock rom

Stock rom is more stable & fast, but I don't like the UI.
Using CM, works fine.

My note 3 is all factory and I want to use RERICK'S alliance rom. Question is my phone is a virgin, other than the Kk update from att or samsung, whoever. Does that rom work on nc2 build or does it have to be on a different or specific build? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for me? I had the infuse 4G and had good luck with custom roms and feel confident about modding this beast now. Also do I really have to worry about knox? I do plan on getting the note 4 when it comes out but I am on the att next plan. Will they still take my phone w custom rom or tripped knox? 0x1. Is there a way to go back to completely stock in the box at all? And would it operate the same?

Root, install safestrap, make a backup of your stock rom, and you're good to go, I did a restore from a backup back to stock and it was seamless for me, like nothing ever happened.
Kool, thank for the input! Worked like a charm! There are a couple Lil bugs but it's a great rom! How and where do I get a log so I can help these guys out now?
So I have been running this rom and it's freakin awesome as far as the customization goes but I am having an issue with chrome and Internet. Chrome doesn't do anything at all and regular Internet takes a good minute to load any pages. I would like to help RErick or anybody else dial in the rom but don't know how and where to get\do a data log to give to the devs. Any help with that would be appreciated.

First off, you never ask for ETAs.
Second, these have been available for quite a while, if you know where to look. There's an HK Edition stock rooted right in the Development forum, and a regular stock rooted here.
Don't forget to update your firmware first!
P.S. Once you enable and connect WiFi Calling, your hardware GPS will cease locking on to satellites so navigation will be next to impossible. Workaround is to disable WiFi Calling, update profile and reboot. But you'll have to do that after anytime your WiFi Calling has been active. HTC and Sprint are currently looking into the issue.
cool, thanks for the fast reply Captain_Throwback
I updated to captains latest stock rooted rom last Sat. Wifi calling works great. Was a clean install of the rom and of course updated firmware. I really haven't had any desire to run a custom rom. Captains stock is super stable and of course with root access I can do enough customizing. Thanks captain
