Hello guy ! I just wanna know if it's possible to go back in 4.1.2 ?!
OTG doesn't work on 4.2 ! And some other thing !
Please help me
Of course it's possible, I did it. But you will have to backup all your apps, do a factory wipe and reload either 4.1, 4.1.1 or 4.1.2
I started clean with 4.1 and let the device do OTA incremental updates to 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
I was a pain, but not as much as 4.2 is.
So if I have a cwm backup of 4.1.2 I can't restore it over a 4.2 update? I am rooted and unlocked. I don't see why I wouldn't but I want to be sure.

Did you save the backup to your desktop?

Yeah but its also on my SD, I don't see why that makes a difference either.

I'm not 100% sure but I think going backwards you wind up wiping the system totally. I'm actually curious about this because I'm considering running 4.2.

I did it without losing data. You have to move your data back to the correct location after restoring a 4.1.2 backup because 4.2 moved everything to a subdirectory. With TWRP you also have to move your backup to where TWRP can find it since Restore has no option to navigate to a different directory.
I flashed ML2 and I got issue with WiFi I really need root my phone to able flash a ROM

A) answers don't always come in less than an hour. Sometimes they don't come at all. B) There is no ability to flash a ROM on an i537 as it has a locked bootloader. The only way to use a different ROM is with Safestrap. C) There is no root for the OTA 4.3. D) You need to use some periods and commas so your posts make some sense.
thanks I know the bootloader is locked and we can't get custom recovery the roots helps and fix alot of issues on android phones .. i used safestrap on MF1 with s4 Google Edition and Hyperdrive ROMs

Then what was the point of starting this thread?
Needs are duly noted. Thread closed.
Hello there fellow XDA peeps. I figured out the way to root the OFFICIAL OTA 4.3 Update. Build Number UCUBML2.
1. Download the the following file http://www.mediafire.com/download/x4n952wzyr3eobd/pwnedkernel.tar.md5 and flash it with odin under PDA. I pulled the boot.img from the 4.3 leak and as we all know it is vulnerable to saferoot and other root method around.
2. After phone reboots enable USB debugging mode try using saferoot or Vroot..google it... it will work .
3. Because this is an older kernel, wifi and some other stuff dont work but dont panic. Flash the next file https://www.mediafire.com/?08j1wqn0x7igjq0 with odin under PDA . This is the stock ML2 kernel.
4. After phone reboots launch Supersu and allow the binary to get updated. Also disable that pesky Knox :laugh:
5 .???
6. Profit. Enjoy your rooted apps and safestrap :good::good:
P.S. I have the 4.2.2 modem because I had to repair the imei of the phone..but just ignore it. and again enjoy
Credits to all the people that came up with the kernel exploits like Saferoot etc.
confirmed root access for 4.3 OTA Ml2 worked perfect .. thank you man you are amazing

Ok, got a note 3 with 4.3 again.
No lies, not fraud, no nothing except a faulty power port and honesty and I ended up with a 4.3 note 3 again
Pant, pant..WHAT DO I DO, I know Kingo root. Titanium backup first. The opporturnity to use my microsd card again! I am actually excited!
And after Kingo, how do I not AT&T upgrade?
I am hearing it forces you after a little while, what do I do? I really want to keep my root!
I am so sorry to my Note Brethren with KK without any way to use THEIR phones. My sympathies are sincere!
Any advice appreciated!

Ok, so if I am at 4.3, and want to keep my root, is there a path to kk that still has root? I would prefer the non ss route. BTW, the main thing that makes me root is I want to use my Microsd card and when unrooted backup and other apps seem unable to access it properly.

SS is the only way to go. There are no downsides to using SS to use a custom ROM.
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Seems like kk isn't worth the effort, you can't access the Microsd, the wifi Hotspot is locked off unless you pay at&t and all issues have been fixed in 4.3, anything gained?

Read in xda it's slow because it's using flash memory.

Not at all slow.
Your stock ROM runs on the same thing your storage does. The EMMC.

Plus, with SS and KK, you have to flash to the stock slot.

Got back root on 4.3, Sweet Archemedes this feels good, like my phone again!
Stock slot, would that be the one that is the original ROM?
Dynamic Kat looks intreguing.But it says I have to have KK first. Can I get DK working from JB rooted?
Indeed it is.
Use this guide. (replace the Urdroid KK ROM that he says to download with DynamicKat)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
Then head over to our development section and find the SS thread.
You will need both 3.71 and 3.72
3.71 will get you to KK with the guide. Once there, you will need to reinstall it and use it to uninstall the recovery.
Then uninstall the app.
After that, install 3.72 and use it to install your new recovery. That way you don't have to use odin every time you want to flash a mod or new kk rom

So I'm on stock 4.3. Mj5. I have rooted and I'm confused on getting to custom firmware. I've played with SS 3.71. But I tried to install custom Ron but was unsuccessful. Can someone tell me or link me to a thread. Please. I just came from a galaxy s3 to the n900a. I'd like to start with cm11.

1. Don't hijack threads
2. Only TW based ROMs can be flashed.
3. Go read the SS development thread.
You need to make sure you are on 3.71 when trying to flash a 4.3 ROM and 3.72 to use KK.
Read my post above.

I cannot and will not be held responsible for anything that may happen due to you following this guide. You are directly
responsible for anything that you instruct your device to do. By following this guide, you accept full and complete
responsibility for whatever the outcome is.
After much trial and error, this guide should help those of you stuck on stock ML2 get to running ROMs through SafeStrap 3.71
Before anything, a thanks goes to spegelius and Devo7v for helping with the much needed files. Without them, I would not
have gotten this far.
Requirements:
* You need to be on 4.3 ML2 as your stock firmware
* You need to be rooted. If you are not, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690133
* You will need to have SafeStrap 3.71 installed. Check here: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jflteatt-active/safestrap
**Verify that you are using the SHG-i537 BEFORE installing anything**
Once you have that done, boot into recovery and create a new ROM slot.
It will take a few minutes for the slot to create and setup.
Once it has setup, grab your favorite TW ROM and flash 'er to the slot. (I used HyperDrive)
Now, flash the ML2 modules, followed by the MF5 camera prop archive.
Now flash the GPIO keys archive.
Clear the dalvik and cache, and reboot.
This should give you hardware keys, wifi, bluetooth, NFC, and Camera.
I know this is not the most comprehensive guide out there, but it should be enough to get you up and running.
is necessary to flash the compatibility pack on hyperdroid ? , is the stock camera working with any rom?
thanks for the guide im new here and i was a little bit lost with the rom flashing

If you plan on using the device with AT&T, the compat pack is a must. And as far as I have tested, no the stock camera does not work.
