[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini SM-G730A downgrade to older android firmware? 2.2

i have a s3 mini phone that has a very new model (g730a) that looks like nobody else on the internet has. there are no threads on this entire forum about this model number, and i am trying to downgrade the stock firmware, 4.2.2, to a very old firmware, 2.2 (froyo), is there any way of doing this? (this phone was bought from an at&t store) how do people even downgrade? where do they get their downloads from?
if there is "no way" of me doing this easily by downloading something, how can i do it myself?
really need some help with this, thanks!

why would you want to downgrade?

i just think froyo looks cool, and i see it still functions with the play store and that. i've heard of cyanogen mod or whatever it's called yet don't know what it is nor how to use it. i am brand new to this android world. was told that this site had everything

Device was not here when froyo was so you will never be able to downgrade. It came with jb, so that's what you will have.

Try the "one-click-root" that someone posted in general. It might work. Then you can take a look on what's inside, and maybe have a recovery built.

You CAN install any android version that is older that you want, but it isn't created for the device. So somebody would need to develop drivers for it to work on the particular version of android.
Short answer: No you can't do it
Long answer: It can be done but a skilled person would need to develop drivers to make it work.
In this day and age creating drivers to downgrade from 4.1 to 2.2 it's not worth the time it takes.

Factory Unlocking
Has anyone successfully factory unlocked the S3 mini SM-G730 att. Or even paid for an unlock code?

Need Testers For 4.4.2 Stock Rom

Title says it all. I am one of a few who flashed the current broken stock rom in the development section. The dev stated he can't get it to work right now. (Not sure if it's difficult or he's short on free time...) Anyways, I got my own running on my phone. I'm zipping up the rom right now if anybody wants to flash away.

What the ... are you serious? Knox Bootloader is the devil. Everyone should use ONLY a deknoxed rom. ONLY. And never ever ever use your thread.

IIRC there are two KNOX issues on this phone and people tend to get them confused.
First off there is the KNOX Bootloader that has the warranty flag thingy. Once this bootloader is installed it cannot be removed or downgraded AFAIK. Also if you root and/or change roms it trips the counter which some people fear will void their warranty even though I haven't seen this actually be the case with anyone so far.
The second KNOX is the KNOX files included in the OS. This can (somewhat) easily be removed from a rooted S4 even if it has the KNOX bootloader. This is what I did with my GF's S4 as she blindly installed the 4.3 update right when she got it.
Now people have made their own 4.3 update (minus the KNOX stuff) that can be installed on the side to update the OS without installing KNOX. This is the route I would have taken if I had the chance.
I think the biggest fear with the 4.4 KitKat update is that it will once again force KNOX back onto the system - even if it had already been removed. Because of this many people are hesitant to install the OTA update until they are sure that KNOX can be removed from it - or until a version is made that can be manually installed that already has KNOX removed.

Any thoughts on what people will be doing once the S5 rolls out? It is probably a safe bet that they will come with Knox or a Knox like system factory installed.
Sent via mobile

Maybe by then there'll be a way to remove/disable KNOX (bootloader KNOX, to clarify)
I remember once HTC did their bootloaders, people either did an engineering bootloader or a custom unlocked bootloader. (let's not speak of the Evo 3D) Here's hoping we don't have to go that route with Samsung devices.

Did it work for you. Cant seem to get it to work stuck on boot logo. Need to reodin stock rom.

Be mindful of the Knox counter. Knox might be an issue, if resale or return is a possbility.

Don't really care about knox I sold my tab pro for this. Problem is I can't root. I tried at least 5 times with the above method even tried the tab pro 10.1 cf root. Odin is success. But cant get pass boot logo. Is there something I'm doing wrong.

I haven't received my tablet yet. But has anyone tried towelroot?

Play it safe and wait for the Devs to come up with a safe root for the Tab S. No roms yet anyway so why bother?
Don't make a $500 paperweight because you were impatient.

+1, Exactly. I just experienced this. I tried the root method listed in this thread and it bricked the device. (It just remained stuck on the Samsung logo screen), Luckily I just picked it up yesterday and was still well within the return policy at BestBuy. I just got it replaced.
So YES, Please just wait until the DEVS post a root process which is tested functional for this specific device.
Just a warning/heads-up based on my very recent experience

I'd take it even a step further. Don't trust anything from anyone unless they have the xda dev symbol by their name. They are the only ones who have a long track record of putting out quality safe code. If some guy says "hey this is my first rom!", proceed with extreme caution. Might be fine and then again it might not.
These expensive toys break easily. Take this seriously.

I think mod should lock this thread because:
No pic of evidence
No link to the file
OP didn't state which Tab S model who uses.

Agreed. I'm like a cop-show me the evidence!
Had a Surface Pro 2, returned it as a POS and got both Tab S slates in exchange-so I'm anxious for root, but not this anxious! !

How is that even possible with no stock firmware released?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

FYI, I tried towelroot on an earlier firmware and it appears to be patched. Simplest method here we will have to wait till the teams at TWRP or CWM create a recovery for our device and then we can just flash the SuperSU zip once that's out.
Nothing too hard since our devices aren't locked, just need some attention here is all.
FYI, I flashed the TWRP recovery from the Tab Pro and unsurprisingly it didn't boot into it.
I'm uploading latest stock firmware for the 8.4 model and hopefully should have it up tonight.

Looks promising. I like that it doesn't trip KNOX but will the "custom status" be a problem?
I'm 7 days into this phone, still have a week to return/exchange it if something is defective. So far it's running fine, dont foresee need to take it back.
But .............. If I did need to return it, is there an "unroot" and/or a way to remove the custom status ?
*** EDIT *** I haven't read all the way thru the root thread, so if my question has already been answered I apologize.

No Custom Status
I have now rooted twice, flashing the firmware posted in this forum in the middle. My phone has not shown custom on the bootscreen once. I also encrypt before I root, so maybe thats it. Who knew you could be encrypted with root?

Yes, all the typical rooting items work as they should. You can even flash zips with fireflash, and not trip Knox.

It's NOT in the bootscreen where you can see the custom status. It's in settings / about device / status. In the last line it crearly says "Custom" under Device status.

You'll generally have to manually flash updates once you've rooted, the OTA process will usually refuse to update a device running a modified system image. Not that big a problem, but sometimes it confuses people.

Or, install Samsung drivers, then Odin, and flash a stock image that way to return to stock, then OTA works fine. There is another thread around here with a stock image, I'd suggest anyone looking to return to stock in order to complete an OTA, to review that thread.

Would we be able to use fireflash and keep root if somebody were to get the OTA and customize it for our needs to keep root, etc? I know it's a hard question to answer, but maybe you guys have experience with other locked bootloader devices.

This is similar to how we did it on the AT&T S4 using safestrap to flash touchwiz based roms that were pre-rooted. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to flash non-touchwiz based roms without an unlocked bootloader.

[ROM][ROOT] Tab S 8.4 - SM-T707V(Verizon) Stock Pre-rooted ROM - Tester required.

I built this ROM as a test for those who have locked bootloaders on the Tab S and can't get root.
In my experience Samsung bootloader locked devices will not allow a custom kernel or recovery to be installed. However it is possible that the bootloader will allow a modified rom to be installed.
The rom is bone stock Lollipop 5.0.2 except it is pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.49. It needs to be installed via ODIN. If ODIN allows it to flash then its highly likely it will boot just fine.
If there are any issues that arise then all that is required is to flash the stock firmware, available here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T707V/
T707VVRS1BOK1_preroot_system.img.tar
If anyone gives this a shot, please report with details.

If it works for the T707v then I'll do the same for the other Bootloader locked devices. It all depends on whether ODIN will flash it or not.
The reason I have used the T707v is because this device at least has the stock firmware available, so it should be relatively safe to try this.

Not many wanting a rooted t707v then.

I don't believe Odin allows modified system images to flash on bootloader-locked devices.

It does, it depends on the device's bootloader.
Plenty have been rooted or modified this way.

It's just that the S5 and Tab S are so similar in so many ways and were release at the same time on VZW, that I thought they'd have the same locks.

What do you mean you ran it and did nothing at all? It doesn't unlock the bootloader.
Its the stock OS already rooted.
Did it install successfully with ODIN?
What is the state of root when checked with Root validator?
We need screenshots if possible please.

One hit wonder, very helpful...

I have the 807V and am watching this thread very closely. Too bad that other guy didn't provide any info.

Exactly, if he'd have only took the time to at least let us know if it installed OK with odin. It seems like it did which means that he should also have had root.
Not sure what he was expecting to see?
