I'm currently on DULP8 Indian JB firmware...can i flash the official indian gb DDLK2 firmware over this via odin without using any .pit files.?? because many of them use .pit files for downgrading in their downgrading tutorial..btw which odin should i use??
You need to use odin 1.85 to downgrade. Look in here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100642
Hope this helps.

i think you mistook me...my question is : can i flash the firmware itself without using .PIT files over the current JB..?? by the way, mine is a 16GB version... the link posted above is for 8GB version..
Oh..I think you need it and no you can't flash directly gb fw over jb. The 16 gb pit is there somewhere in the forum you can search for it. Instead of downgrade directly to ddlk better use that multi gb in the thread and then flash back the firmware of your country. Sry this doesn't help much.
Link to pit files. See post #4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258597

Description: This is the official version of Android 4.3 pushed to phones via OTA on January 7, 2014. Shortly thereafter an Odin package was posted that contains the entire firmware, not just the update package that was pushed via OTA. This firmware adds compatibility with the Samsung Galaxy Gear, enables drag and drop to uninstall or disable applications, and adds more AT&T bloat. Since new bootloaders are included in this update there is currently no other way to downgrade to any of the other firmwares. A brief changelog for the release by AT&T can be found here. Please read this important note about the ML2 bootloader before flashing, it provides a way to preserve the ability to downgrade.

Saferoot ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 ) worked for MI2 for me. Is there anyone who has tried it (or would be willing to try it) on ML2? I'm sorry if this has been covered somewhere. I just spent the past hour or so catching up on things I've missed in the past few weeks and didn't see record of anyone attempting it, but I easily could have missed it.

There are some discussions in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606550, about how MI2 works but ML2 does not. Once again, there still is no root whatsoever for the official 4.3 (ML2) for the time being. (1/31/14)
Also on a side note, a lot of people are getting confused between MI2 root which is root for the "LEAKED" version of 4.3 and ML2 which is the "OFFICIAL" version of 4.3 which can't be rooted as of now. Just hopefully people will catch on the difference between MI2 and ML2

Please read the descriptions for the firmware in the OP. If you want to be on the latest official firmware, flash ML2. You will lose root with no way to get it back and you will not be able to downgrade to any other firmware. If this is troubling to you then flash anything else.

I read through that post and it is starting to sound like that is the route to go, flash Ml2's bootloader with ML2. I think the last person I saw who posted said his wifi worked along with everything else others had issues with after.
I am still pretty new to android os's, but is the locked bootloader something that would keep me from successfully backing up my entire system(MF3, 4.2.2, safestrap, rooted, unlocked), then installing ML2, then running a restore of my MF3 backup? I know that sounds silly, but if I could restore MF3, I could help experiment with this ML2 situation, i.e. getting root to work or who knows maybe even figuring out this locked bootloader issue we are dealing with. I guess the problem would be I would need to be rooted to do a full restore, correct?

Sorry for the confusion, this thread is for the AT&T stock firmware, I should have put that in the title of the thread. I would add the Mexico and Uruguay versions, but I don't know enough about it and I don't want AT&T users to try using firmware that isn't meant for their phone.

Hey guys I found an ML3 version from Mexico, im sure it has English in it. Im gonna try it myself today when I get home, here at the office internet is slow to download it. Its on sam mobile site, and on bugmenot u can get access if you dont want to register. Hope this doesnt brake any rule.

I'm going to bet that it won't flash since the Telcel users were unable to flash the AT&T ML2 firmware. If you do try this, I would be very hesitant to flash the included bootloader. If you are able to keep the bootloader from either MF1 or MI2 you will allow yourself an escape path back to other firmware. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice!

Are you currently on ML2? If you are can you try flashing the ML2 bootloader for the i9295 from sammobile? I'm guessing it will fail to flash, but if it is successful you have the potential for an unlocked i537. Be careful because you could also end up bricking your phone flashing any firmware or bootloader.
hey Devo7v, ive read on the web ML3 from TELCEL works on neAT&Tidy's S4A, unfortunatly I downloaded soemthing else, im re downloading now, but only goes at 300kbs with means forever for 1.4gb (about an hour says Chrome)
