[SOLVED] Downgrade S4 mini (GT-I9195) v4.4.2 --> v4.2.2? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Kind XDA users,
As the topic implies, I'd like to downgrade this unrooted phone.
Could anyone direct me to a to a link with the proper firmware / procedure?
Will I be able to downgrade without tripping Knox?
Phone info:
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195 (8GB)
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: I9195XXUNCJ6
Buildnumber: KOT49H.I9195XXUCNJ6
Kernel version: 3.4.0-3093013
Perhaps I should also note why I'd like to downgrade:
For some reason the phone gives bad signal on GSM network.
It seems it is connected normally, though sometimes people reach te voicemail without any reason.
Also outgoing calls seem to fail at that time, reboot solves this temporary.
The option "GSM only" is not available under network settings.
I put the SIM-Card in another S4 Mini on v4.2.2 the option "GSM only" is available.
(I did not select it though as the plan has data, it was just the only difference I could find other than android version.)
Tested for approx 2 week and it runs fine, problems are yet to be discovered.
Edit: feel free to move this topic, did not notice I was in the general section.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Hi Stefan!
The only one option is flash ZTO-UBUBNE2 firmware(Brazil), It don't have much bloat, 90% have option to uninstall...
Good luck, MixoMaxoViper.

Thanks for the reply, could you link me to the file?
Can it be flashed with kies or only with odin?
Also will this trip Knox?
Kind regards, Stefan.

That rom is official samsung rom. So it will not trip knox. Extract the downloaded zip file and u get a "tar.md5" file along with a 'dll' file.
Open odin and click on PDA or AP button and choose the extracted tar.md5 file. Then flash it.

This ZTO-UBUBNE2 rom is meant for GT-I9195. You must find a jellybean firmware with same bootloader as kitkat firmwares.
Then you can downgrade. I have i9195, so i do not know about any jellybean firmwares for I9190 that have knox 2.0 bootloader.

Not unless you can put the bootloader from Brazilian rom to your Italian ROM but I think that would be break the knox and probably wouldn't even work anyway.

how we can know that ,which jellybean rom have the same bootloader as kitkat?(so we can downgrade)
i want it for i9190 and i9192

Don't think such a rom exists for those models just i9195. That's with the new boot loader. I may be wrong though...

no this has the same bootloader from kitkat you will be able to flash this without problems!

Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2

Hey folks, just wanted to know is there a way to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2?
I don't care about triggering the knox counter whatsoever.
Is it possible by rooting maybe?
Thanks.

hi there!
is it posible to perform this downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 in a i9190 device? Because I think the link to the solution is for the i9195 model only.
No its not. You will brick your device.
ok. So I'll have to wait until samsung releases 4.4.2 for my device and that would be in .......3....2....1........3/4..............1/2......................

CP: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/418103/N910TUVU2EPE3_CP.tar
BL is aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, sb1.mbn, sdi.mbn, tz.mbn
CP is modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin.
Can someone more experienced confirm this is correct?
I have -not- flashed this on my own device, so I would have to advise anyone else against it!

Someone had made it, hope this helps. I tested it on my device so it should work, Just flash the BL under where it says BL in Odin, same goes with CP.

Better then 5.1.1 for me. When I say better I mean when comparing stock to stock.
I get errors extracting the Stock Firmware (on PC) with WinRAR and 7Zip. WinRAR won't extract it, "Corrupt", and 7Zip states "Warning: There are some data after end of archive". I can't get the checksum to match. Multiple download attempts.

No need to be on the latest version of Nougat.
No need for stock recovery. But after flashing firmware, your recovery will be replaced by stock.

I'm not sure about downgrading, but I guess you can.
I tried flashing this because I'm not happy with my current version of ice 8.0, so I wanted to go back to stock in order to receive normal updates again. But it seems like it didn't work. I flashed it, but whenever I want to unlock my phone it just goes black.
What did I do wrong and how do I fix it?
Works fine! Thank you so much, OP! :good:
