Running a 4.2.2 ROM, can I go to a 4.1.2 ROM?

I'm running ARHD 11.0 which is a 4.2.2 ROM. I want to go to a 4.1.2 ROM to I can run a 4.1.2 kernel. Is this just as simple as flashing a 4.1.2 ROM from recovery?

You have to wipe your phone when going from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2. If you want to keep everything, just get SuperBackup or Titanium Backup and back everything up.

Thanks. I don't mind wiping my phone. I just want to know if it's straight for to go from newer ROM to older ROM.

No problem It is always better to wipe anyways going from a ROM to a different one just to make sure you don't get any errors and bugs.

Just to make sure I'm in the right page...the ROM comes with the kernel, right?

You can either install a custom ROM based on 4.1.2 (which most likely means you'll have to find an older version of a current custom ROM, like Android Revolution HD 9.x or TrickDroid 6.x) or you can download and install a RUU which will basically wipe your device and install the official, stock 4.1.2 for it which you can then root and install a kernel to.

if he just wipe data, and flash from 4.2.2. to 4.1.2, he can get the 0 folder in his internal memory (and just move everything?), can't he?
well I remember to have a little problem with my s3 when i did that, but you can try... if you have problems wipe everything including internal sd and flash again... (but of course you may need to flash thru sideload or OTG)
AND YES, the rom comes with the kernel, if you come from a HOX (for example) you dont need to flash the kernel manually, as was needed in the HOX

Thanks guys! Will try that

[Q] reverting to stock - help needed

i had an issue with my newley purchased one and was advised to try flashing a non stock rom to see if the problem would go. it has not and i now need to put the phone back to standard htc sense 4.1 firmware.
I am ssuming that while the phone has bootloader unlocked still and rooted that i can download 4.1 firmware as a zip and put on the memory then flash from recovery? Once done i will use the tool-kit i used to unlock bootloader and root etc to take these off?
Can anyone link me to the correct firmware i need as there seems to be many listed and im not sure which it is.
At the moment i have Android rev 12 on there.
thanks

Come on a fair bag full of posts, but you haven't given the details of the phone.........
And if you have a nandroid backup of the original rom then restoring that returns the phone to how it was.

Can someone please clarify for me....
i used the Hanson - all in one tool kit to unlock bootloader, put on recovery and root the phone. I then installed Android rev 12 to my phone.
I now want to go back to stock and dont have any back up so....
do i just download the stock 4.1 htc rom (this one http://goo.gl/3YQED) then flash this to my phone using the recovery method i used to flash android rev?
do i then just use the Hanson tool kit to remove root and re-lock the bootloader?
Not worried about the phone being completely clean as long as the root has gone and its showing the standard htc firmware in the 'about phone' section....phone is going back to be exchanged due to a hardware fault.
thanks
ive been trying to follow this thread but i seem to get myself lost as i did most of what it says using the toolkit and not adb on computer.

[Q] HTC One (64GB Dev Edtn) keeps crashing even after flashing new roms

To start off, I'll write down a history of my phone's problem. It had me scratching my head for over 1 week already and I still can't resolve it. I've been non-stop searching all over the net for solutions, and unfortunately it's still problematic.
Before the problems started, this is the state of my phone:
Stock HTC Rom 4.1.2 ver. 1.29.1540.3, rooted, custom recovery TWRP.
My phone initially hanged after receiving a text message. So I thought it just crashed and just needs a simple reboot. But unfortunately, after a reboot, it was just stuck at the "HTC quietly brilliant" splashscreen. But it could go into bootloader. So I went into recovery to restore from a backup point. But the restoring process failed, and worse, it wiped my current OS off.
So I went over the net to search for a copy of the stock HTC rom. then I found the specific RUU, from bugsylawson's, for my phone. And, at last I thought, the phone was back to normal. But unfortunately again, when I tried to re-download all my apps from google play store, after installing a few apps, my phone crashed again. the crash would reboot and enter into the OS but after a few seconds, it would hang again and reboot until it doesn't get into the OS anymore.
I went further research and studying about android terminologies to better understand the state and problem of my phone, and I came up with the idea to try to install a famous and stable custom Rom. I chose Android Revolution HD 13.3, which runs a custom 4.2.2 jelly bean. After successfully flashing the rom, I was so happy that everything went back to normalcy. So again I tried to reinstall the apps from play store. and everything worked fine. then after about approx. 18hrs, the problems started to show up again. My phone would hang while I was using it. And it would restart. sometimes it would just force close an app that i was using (in this case, I was using the "Internet" app and camera app). And after rebooting by itself a couple more times, it would get stuck in the "HTC quietly brilliant" splashscreen. again.
I tried several times to re-flash the custom Rom, and it would flash successfully everytime. And just to make sure i did the correct steps before flashing a new rom, I would like to enumerate what I did:
-wiped data, system, cache and dalvik cache partitions
-flashed custom rom via TWRP.
After everything I've tried. I'm starting to wonder if my phone has factory defects. I'm pointing to three parts of the hardware: processor, flash drive or cache. I'm wondering if the cache is a hardware or software based, and if it is a hardware, could it possibly be damaged physically and can't be repaired? How do I checkdisk the flash drive to make sure that i don't have bad sectors in it? How could i also try a diagnostic test of the processor to make sure that it is not faulty and does not overheat?
I'm new to android debugging. I would gladly take any logical solutions to help solve my problem. I'm pinning my hope on this forum before I finally contact HTC to claim a warranty or anything.

Hi can you download TeamViewer so that I can flash the latest 4.3 firmware on your device, after S-Offing

Hi Matt,
First of all, thanks for the very quick reply.
Uhn matt, I don't mean to annoy you with questions. But are there any other solutions without S-offing my device? And if possible and if it's not a hassle for you, may I ask what your possible might be? (Could you please enumerate it?)
I would greatly appreciate it if we could discuss the procedures first before actually trying to fix the issue.

You'll need to S-Off to flash the 4.3 firmware, and you want to be S-Off now as you can't use the exploit on the newer hboots. I will S-Off, flash 4.2.2 firmware, flash 4.3 firmware, then flash 4.3 Sense stock rom, then you can s-on if you want

I see. How is the new Hboot different from the old hboot? And if anything goes wrong, could I still go back to the old hboot?
To what firmware version is it going to be upgraded to? Will it have the same radio?
Just to clarify, we're CHANGING firmware version, not UPGRADING right? Is it because we're changing to different region's firmware so that i could just download an OTA update of newer stock roms? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Let's play pretend

Bad boyz current rom
Updated firmware
Super CID
Rooted (obviously)
S-off
adb reboot-works
adb reboot recovery-works
adb reboot bootloader-works
Fastboot reboot- works
fastboot oem rebootRUU- works
RUU-no worky, says usb device not attached even with current htc drivers
Google unable to connect to server after wipe cuz i turned blinkfeed back on and had to push OK a gizzilian times due top FC and did factory reset.
I can go to dropbox thru browser and install app backup/restore and than restore all apps, but it still fails to connect to google servers as i input info from new device (custom rom) and want to start fresh. I dont care if it wipes internal storage (learned long ago how to keep nothing on device that can't be restored off device)
Yes i wiped everything twice (except system and storage, been there done that nightmare)
So.... Bone stock (any version) rom that can be flashed in recovery......

Barebones back to stock is going to require an RUU. Did you make a nandroid of stock before you rooted the phone or is that how you got it?
If you're looking for rooted stock for most recent 5.03.651.3 rom, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766604

Nope, i'm looking for 100 persent stock RUU bone stock RUU flasable in recovery.
I'm going to go back to roots (and i don't mean ROOTED)
Let's say htc evo. You could take the RUU and extract it in rar, now adays it would be 7zip, take the rom and name it to pmg.3400(example) and put it on sd card, then flash it in bootloader. That no longer exists. I have the vary first bone stock htc one sprint rom, and have extracted rom.zip from it, and it wont flash from recovery. I need to.
Looking for old timers who know what to do with this. I don't want rooted version that will flash in recovery, i have that already and fighting to pull stock OTA update out of it to flash in recovery. There has to be someone here that has had the 1st edition sprint android (hero, or evo 1st edition) that knows what i'm talking about.

Yeah, that's the unfortunate side effect of these phones and no longer have an SD slot. And believe me, I remember the Supersonic days. OG EVO was my first HTC device. EVO LTE after the fact and now this phone. Tinkered with other HTC models for other folks as well.
There is an offchance that having SuperCID not matching for Sprint could be a culprit too. I was checking out a few threads about that after I read your reply. As far as some help from someone that is savvy with the M7... BD619 knows his stuff. PM him.

[Q] Upgrading Viper ROM, need to update to 4.4.3. Is this how to do it?

So I have an older version of Viper ROM on 4.4.2, and I want to latest version of Viper ROM. From my understanding, it works better when you have 4.4.3, so I need to upgrade to that first. So, what do I need to do? Revert to stock, update OTA, and then re-root, get TWRP again, and then reflash to the new version of Viper ROM? I really hope that's wrong, but I don't even care what I have to do if I can just get a clear understanding of what it is I need to do.
I'm pretty annoyed that Viper ROM offers no support when it comes to updating, but when you search elsewhere on xda for this information it's very hard to find. I've installed custom firmware on phones about 5 times in the past 5 or so years, and I've never come close to having such a hard time at finding basic instructions. Every time aside from the first I haven't been able to fully remember the process, but had no issues like I'm having now when it comes to finding guides.

if you are s-off it's pretty easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 (in the firmware section), and note that the "fastboot flash zip <firmware>.zip" has to be done twice!!
