Hello,
I actually have two Samsung SIII i9305, one is on Cyanogenmod 11 and one is in stock ROM 4.3. I read some tutorial talking about doing it with a downgrade 4.1.1. The problem is that I can't find any ROM 4.1.1 and if really I finally find it, this process is really viable even if after that I change ROM? Maybe some other solution exists?
Thank you
Hello,
I think you can not flash 4.1, when you had flashed 4.3
according to this thread is it possible to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/news-downgrade-android-4-3-to-4-1-2-t2644371
and a 4.1.1 rom is easy to find on samdownloads

or

Need some help!
I have a Galaxy S3 i9305 locked to EE.
I am currently running Liquidsmooth 4.2.2 v2.2 and I'm looking to Downgrade to a stock 4.1.2 so I can unlock the phone before selling it (getting a Sony Xperia Z).
I've searched around and can't find any concrete instructions on how to do this.
Can anyone help point me in the direction for a good tutorial?

RETURN TO STOCK

Hello guys, i will explain the story in order, sorry for my bad Grammar.
first i have the official GTI9070 but i forgot the baseband (GB)
then i accept software update that appear in notification bar, my baseband become I9070DXLK2 (GB)
and i see there's CM11 out that can make kit kat running in I9070.
but it requires root to install CMW / TWRP..
so hard to find root zip for DXLK2, and then i found one full ROM rooted then flash it with odin.
my baseband still I9070 (GB) but rooted (binary counter++)
after that i flash TWRP with odin too.
then i try flashing CM11 with TWRP.
it success, but no mobile network.
i search at this forum and someone say "no mobile network happen because flashing from GB (2.3.x) directly to KK (4.4.x)"
he said first update from GB to official samsung JB.
the problem, there's no official samsung JB update for my country/region (DXLK2)
my question, if i flash the official samsung JB update from other region.. let say it italy.. will my baseband change?
if it changed, what's the problem and whats the negative impact? what should i do better?
thx in advance.
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (Indonesian)

You don't have any negative impact if you flash any stock JB firmware, only with your warranty if you still have one.
Please, follow this guide from point A (JELLYBEANIZATION): [GUIDE] From stock GB to Custom JB (Noob-friendly)
After you updgraded to JB, ask/read some tutorials linked here: [{INDEX of GUIDES/TUTORIALS}] Galaxy S Advance [GT-I9070].
Be sure when you proceed to do something OR ASK before, NOT AFTER you doing something wrong.

Or maybe removed. Try on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com
In Canada, have XXLK2 (Africa?). Want JB, use UK version?
I bought my unlocked I9070 almost 2 years ago and am thinking about upgrading to Android 4.1.2 (JB).
On samsung-updates there appear to be lots of JB versions for different regions.
Can I just select the one for Britain (XXLQE)? Is there anything I need to check re: compatibility?

Yes you can flash any stock firmware for I9070. Be sure you don't flash firmware for I9070P.

Flashing worked...once I found a .zip file

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the samsung-updates.com download to work (used the free one, which either didn't start most of the time or died during download). Eventually, I took the filename (for Britain) and Googled it, and found a download site that let me download it (required 3 hours).
Armed with the .zip file and ODLIN, it worked like a charm. All my installed apps and data survived, which surprised me. I thought this would be a vanilla install.
Hi Member,
I am on 4.1.2 version rooted with CWM installed. I want to upgrade to 4.3 stock. Is there any rom available without the knox bootloader and near stock with samsung touchwiz etc. I am searching from past one week but couldn't able to find anything on it.

Yes, there is a Stock 4.3 ROM from ShonkUK i think that basically just updates all the applications to the 4.3 versions, without KNOX. There are also a number of Modified 4.3 ROMS that all dont have KNOX so you could check them out if you fancy it.
Cheers
There's KNOX, and KNOX apps. KNOX is inside the bootloader (or similar), KNOX Apps are somewhere inside the android file system.
Once the 4.3 bootloader is flashed, you're done. Most roms DON'T FLASH a bootloader, but be sure to check Usually, those flashed from recovery are safe.... from Odin... who can tell?
Thanks for the reply. Can you please give me a link from where I can download the rom or any specific name as there are lots of cwm roms available and its very confusing to pick up.

EVERY based on stock 4.3 rom here is on 4.1.2 bootloader.
However, before downloading any rom first take the time and read as much as possible, cause you seems to be novice and lazy
Try this, 4.1.2 bootloader and 4.3 rom

Thanks Buddy. I will try this.
Can someone send me a link to android 4.1.1 for the galaxy s3 i9305 (non branded) ? I need to downgrade from android 4.3 as that update is terrible on for my battery life and the performance is terrible as well. Thanks
uldate to 4.4.4 It is amazing and better than 4.1.1
Okay, any chance of a link to that for the galaxy s3 i9305 unbranded? I kinda lost my patience waiting for the update so I'd rather flash it instead.

go to sammobile u ll find everything you need
You now that downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 is not posibil due to new bootloader and knox in 4.3 firmware?
