This pretty annoyance me when I found link both sammobile or 4shared or other stuff but end up they all super slow (700MB file but transfer rate 1kb/s). I download and get it but end up .zip file and got failed in Odin(in phone appear unsupported dev_type)
So my question is does anyone here have the right one .tar.md5
in Sammobile I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_ATT.zip (if you can download it for me and upload it back to Mediafire pls....pls I beg you)
or other thing else that could work perfectly.
because I really need it to downgrade my phone so I can unlock sim card.
Thank and big thank in advance
Do not attempt to downgrade your bootloader if you have the 4.3 or higher bootloader. Attempts to downgrade the bootloader can brick your phone.
If you are on the 4.3 or higher bootloader, you will have to buy an unlock code.

Yes. Look around and you will see posts from other owners that attempted the downgrade and bricked their phone.

Sorry guys I'm totally new to this forum, but I too have the NE4 bootloader and was wondering if a Odin downgrade would also brick my phone as well? I want to avoid using Odin because my Microusb port is kind of wonky too. I want to go back to stock because my phone has been acting up, and was hoping to start off fresh. Thanks in advance!
If you have the 4.3 or higher bootloader, do not attempt to downgrade the bootloader or modem to be safe.

here is a list of ROMs for your phone be sure you have Xperia Arc S not other phone never flash a ROM that is not for your phone because you can cause hardware damage to your phone
i cant install a custom rom, cause my bootloader is locked.
edit.:
can i install arconium (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565475) cause it only requries a "stock kernel with CWM???
A unlocked bootloader is only usefull to install other kernels, but because this rom is compatible with a stock rom, i think i dont have to unlock the bootloader, right? :cyclops:

It seems Acronium requires an unlocked bootloader
for your first flash I recommend to install a stock-based ROM just leave bootloader as it is if you just wanna do this way then use a laptop when flashing /unlocking bootloader cause every failure in bootloader results in a dead-phone then only service tools save your phone -your phone is bricked
so search in that list for a ROM that is stock-based choose one with good howto instructions

Dear all,
Well I dont know where to start. But here is what happened with my N7100 Note 2.
I was on the latest 4.4.2, the phone restarted suddenly one day and it just dont boot stuck at samsung logo,
flashed the 4.4.2 stock from sammobile. and it worked fine everything was perfect for a week, till it happened again
flashed the same rom. and here is where the trouble begins.
The IMEI changed to generic 00499XXX.., Serial No: 000000
i managed to downgrade to 4.1.2 with mobile odin, flashed a lot of stocks and customs as well. And after a very hard work for a week i manage to get back my IMEI and serial number back, now I backed up my EFS learned my lesson
Now i flashed the stock rom 4.1.1, phone is unlocked. cant make calls, or sms or data internet.
Now I have service: out of service, Bluetooth address: unavailable (while its in the efs folder the mac is in the file), Device status modified, And when I connect it to USB it wont recognize the phone until I have to dial *#7284# and change USB from modem to PDA, then save and reset. (EVERYTIME) I need a permanent fix as well for that.
Please I need help with those as i cant make my phone work.
Thanks and regards,
Mohamed Selim.
First and most important:
If you ever were on stock 4.4.x you can't downgrade to 4.1.x because of knoxed bootloader.
What you did with mobile odin was no real downgrade cause your bootloader wasn't touched.
Don't try to flash firmware beyond your current bootloader version.
Install Samsung Phone Info app from play store and look for actual bootloader version.

As I said before: YOU DID NOT DOWNGRADE firmware to 4.1.2 with Mobile Odin, check with Info app from Samsung:
You will find bootloader between *ND3 and *NI1 and all are 4.4.2 KitKat
So, whatever firmware you try to flash under 4.4.2 is supposed to fail.

Mobile Odin does everything but doesn't flash bootloader so it is like flashing a custom rom which also doesn't contain bootloader.
PC Odin flashes complete firmware, so this is the only way to really up- or downgrade. Hope you understand the difference.
The only solution I see for you is to concentrate on 4.4.2 equal or up your actual bootloader version.

I really want to help you out and I assure you that I know what I am talking about (take a look into my signature with stock roms and bootloaders).
There is indeed no solution on 4.1.1 and the screenshot doesn't show bootloader version. To believe what I say try to find out what BL version you are on. If it shows XXUFND3 up to XXUFNI1 you have the proof.

XXUFND3 was the first KitKat firmware for N7100 and yours was the second.
Three options:
1) Flash firmware using PC Odin at least ND4, maybe better NE1 or up
2) Flash through recovery any stock KitKat custom rom provided by wesamothman, cosmyndemeter or me
3) Flash through recovery any KitKat custom rom you like from development section here
4.3 custom roms may work also, but not 100% sure.
Beyond 4.3 I wouldn't recommend.

Best and fastest one is XXUFNI1, NH2 and NG3 aren't bad either.
Do a clean installation (factory reset) and after setup device go back into recovery to flash SuperSu.zip.:highfive:

Hello everyone,
a few months ago i used the CM11 autoinstaller to get Cyanogenmod and at first it was great, but now i'd like to return to stock. the problem is me, being an idiot, didn't create any kind of backup to return to, so i was wondering if anyone can help me flash a stock rom onto my phone. I really need help with this because i have searched and searched but nothing is working. i have odin and my phone ready to go.
thanks for any help!
Edit: i have the i747 for at&t
this might help. good luck

Download the Samsung Info app from the Play store, install, and run it. It will tell you the bootloader on your phone. You can also get this info from a terminal emulator by typing su, press enter, type getprop ro.bootloader and press enter.

Which firmware did you try to use because you can only go back so far.. Like you can't go from Nougat all the way back to MM 5.0.1 because of the locked bootloaders! Try downloading and using this firmware.. After it's downloaded extract the file 1 time so you get a .md5 file that odin can use.. The link is below.
Download this firmware and try.

Yes it is passable. You need to find at last firmware with baseband N920AUCS4CPK1. One did you try to flash did not work because it was bootloader version 3 and since you are on android v 7.0 your bootloader is v4. Look for firmware where after S or U you see 4. In example N920AUCS3BPH4 you got 3, this mean bootloader is v3.
Good luck
