I was reading something about not being able to go back form 4.4 back to 4.3
is is true that I cant go back to 4.3 or lower if I change to 4.4, are they talking guff or is that only to do with if you have update to official stock firmware
thank you for your help in advance
Edit: ive modded my phone already tripped knox so that's not a problem. im running cm 10.1.3 stable at the mo
i assume you talk about CM11 - 4.4 - official 4.4 is not out yet...
ofc you can go back...i did it twice already...also got knox to 1(don't care)....
used OMNI ROM(4.4.2) - now on stock rooted and removed some samsung apps.
Of course, Odin back to 4.1.2, then flash 4.3again.

Have you flashed the stock 4.3 firmware before? If not, you don't have to care about Knox boot loader.

I was on 4.1.2 ripper rom first. Then 4.3 alliance rom and after it I tried many 4.4.2 aosp Roms. Now I wanted to go back to 4.3 and I flashed alliance rom without data wipe and it works like a charm. Maybe it's better to wipe, but for me it worked without it. Important is that you don't have Knox on your Sammy.

I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S Advance with JB 4.1.2 through Samsung KIES software. Earlier my phone wasn't lagging with the Android GB version, and I was able to play games without any lag. After updating it to JB 4.1.2, I'm experiencing lagging when I play games or browse internet.
I haven't updated any ROM, I purchased a new phone, connected the phone to KIES using USB cable. As soon as this connection was successful, it should me a notification that a new Android version(JB) is available, hence I updated it.
Please provide me some solutions so that I can remove this lag.
Enter recovery mode. Factory reset, wipe cache.
Root, custom kernel and remove bloatware. Thats all you can do on stock to feel better.

Any method is the same cause in the end you'll still need to do factory reset as updating from gb to jb is a major update. Xxlqe and ddulp8 seems good.

As you said, I did factory reset and cleared cache as well, but in vain. My phone still lags.
Does anybody have any other method? Downloading custom kernel will void my warranty, so I don't wanna do it.
Does reverting back to GingerBread is the only option?
Thanks Razvan and others for replying.
Thanks in advance.

You don't have to worry about warranty because rooting and flashing custom roms/kernel for jb is hassle free and does not trigger your binary count. So, that means when you want to claim your warranty, just flash back your country official firmware and you get back your warranty. As long as you do everything right and you don't lose your download mode (means you don't brick your device) you have nothing to worry about regarding the warranty.
You can also revert back to gb if you want but I prefer to stay with jb for the apps I use. It's not a massive lag for me. Just slight delay when opening dialer, contacts and camera but the rest is awesome.

Here, you can follow this guide here. Make sure you read everything and do exactly as it says.
It is recommended that you back up your imei. Follow this guide here.
For stock based, many users said that LightJB is great. You can try that but I prefer to use Pure Vanilla because of the looks. You can also try cm-based roms although it's still in beta phase. Look in the original android development section.
Edit: Btw, which version you have? I9070 or I9070P? Make sure to check that first before flashing anything. You can see that at start up and also at about phone in settings.

Hi
I just want to know if i can flash 4.1.2 I9305XXBLL3 to 4.3 knox bootloader
I didn't like 4.3 and i want 4.1.2
I don't care about knox 0x1
For now, I don't think that you can flash back to stock 4.1 after flashing stock 4.3 knok. You will brick your phone.
Why don't you go for custom Rom instead of stock rom. Kitkat 4.4.2 is quite good.

That Knox thing really sucks. I just got my phone and after I switched it on I just accepted the 4.3 update. Had I kown I would have refrained from doing so... Let's just hope some great dev will come up with a workaround...

Downgrade to 4.2.2 root it and try to update ota to 4.3. This way you should keep root.
If ota doesn't work and your bootloader is locked, you'll have to stay at 4.2.2, as long as you need root

Root 4.2.2 then install a recovery then flash a 4.3 rom, that way u will have root on 4.3.

There are at least 3 prerooted stock 10.4.1.B.0.101 roms in the development section.
Either unlock your bootloader like I told you before, or flash a prerooted rom. Those are your choices.

Currently if you updated your Note 3 to the official 4.4.2 which is NC2, there are no root options.
