[How-To][Tutorial] Downgrade Kit Kat 4.4.2 to JB 4.1.2

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !

Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.

Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

Could you go back to KK when you've downgraded to JB? Just asking this question early before the CM11 M8 release and the transition occurs.

So just by flashing the KK firmware in RSD without any changes to the xml? Sorry for the noob questions, I realize how easy this phone can be bricked and I want to avoid it.

I see don't why you would need to. It would be just like restoring stock firmware via RSD Lite.

When I try to flash this, I get Failure on 2/20, sbl1

Can you please post the error that is displayed in RSD Lite ?
The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.

I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!

For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

We have a wiener!
Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

What functionality does Busybox add? The description on the Play page is woefully sparse.
Thanks!

I was looking around the oppo forums a while back and someone posted a 5207 rom (the site was all in chinese) I think you should be able to take the recovery right out of that

Chinese stock ROM, not sure if the recovery is there too as I can't read Chinese.

Hi, do you know how to recovery the N5207 ?
i tried to root mine after updated it and i lost the wifi.
So I would like to come back to the last version and root my phone. HELP PLEASE

Not the stock recovery, but a modified version of the stock recovery used in the Chinese rooting process:
http://lum.uk/n3/files/recmodn3.img
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57974020&postcount=19
It should be fine for flashing a stock ROM.
You could also try the N5206 recovery and/or ROMs, but so-far no-one has tested if the N5206 and N5207 images are compatible. If you're willing to try, get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oppo-n3/general/rom-n5206-v141228-install-t3028090

Please help
Hi guys, I hope the thread is still alive.
I have Chinese N5207, and I have been trying everything from the minute I got it to have it rooted with Wi Fi working, but it's not working.
How I got where I am:
Installed modified stock recovery image flashed (earlier posted by Lum in an old thread), wifi was not working, flashing stock ROM was not working.
I deleted system partition using fastboot (I am an expert, so this might have been a bit too wrong, but I wanted to cleanup)
Tried to flash CM12 and stock N5207, but it fails.
I flashed CM12 boot.img and the installed n3root .zip, and they completed successfully.. but then I still have no system, I try to install stock or CM again, not working
In an attempt to fix the deleted system partition, I flashed a boot.img using "fastboot flash system boot.img", which completed successfully, but still stock recovery won't flash any OS, and now I'm stuck.
Any help please?

Lenovo A7000 STOCK MARSHMALLOW [Android 6.0] FLASHING WITHOUT SP FLASH TOOL

I recommend using the SP FLASH TOOL method for flashing stock ROM if possible.
TO FLASH THIS STOCK FIRMWARE via SP Flash TOOL Click here
THIS is Lenovo A7000 Stock "MARSHMALLOW [Android 6.0]" OTA UPDATE.
version : A7000-a_S223_160405_ROW_WC814D6764
This method is the alternative method to the SP Flash tool.
I have tested it and it works:-
First, when I am on stock Lenovo rooted lollipop ROM(ver.S153_151127_ROW).
Secondly, it also worked when I am on marshmallow rooted ROM (ver.S223_160405_ROW).
The third time it works when I am on vibe 3.5 custom ROM [MM based] with custom kernel.
If you have a rooted device, your device will unroot after installing the update.
If your device is not rooted then also it works like a charm.
To install or flash this OTA ROM
1. You should have Lenovo stock recovery installed. Use any one between method a or b
(a)If you want you can Flash stock recovery via TWRP. Click here
(Procedure is the same as installing zip file in TWRP).
(b)Flashing stock recovery via SP flash tool. Click here
(Run spflash tool Download and unzip the package, load the scatter file and flash it in "download only" mode)
After flashing recovery immediately boot into a recovery check if the recovery is installed or not if not then flash recovery again.
2. Download the stock ROM from the Lenovo server.
DOWNLOAD LINK: click here
3. Now make the two copies of the downloaded package first one in internal storage(not in any folder).
4. Rename the package to update.zip to the one in internal storage.
5. Then Boot into recovery (Power + half a second the two volume buttons), then select English as recovery language.
6. Now select install update package. It will give some warning click yes then the update will start.
In between, you will feel that update is stuck don't worry it is updating, after update your phone will reboot automatically. (update may take 10-15 minutes)
WHATEVER YOU DO AT THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER I NOR XDA WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IN CASE OF ANY HARDWARE/ SOFWARE DAMAGES CAUSED BY YOU TRYING THESE METHODS. YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE.
IF THIS THREAD REALLY HELPS YOU THEN PLEASE TAP THANKS.

If you want to flash through SP Flash tool the go to this thread:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lenovo-a7000-as223160405-row-andoid-6-0-t3360467/post66404777#post66404777

Replace the recovery to stock recovery and relock the bootloader. If you installed the modified firmware, reflash the stock firmware, you will be good

Here you should find the stock recoveries: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html
download the right recovery.img file and follow these instruction on how to flash - http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-via-fastboot/ - in this just change the twrp recovery.img to the one you downloaded and run the code in command prompt.
It is recommended to do I clean install to avoid any further reported errors. Once you relock the bootloader you will lose all the data (like hard reset).

However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0

First thing .. you cannot do OTA with a rooted stock ROM, you need a non-rooted ROM.
Secondly .. there is no need to relock bootloader - read the note in my thread.
Just read again post #1 and follow all the 14 steps, you should be fine.
Anything, you can ask in my thread as I'm not following your thread.

Some ScreenShots!

Even works on cm14!
Bootloader + modem seems to work just fine on cm14.

Nice. I had flashed Resurrection Remix ROM a few days ago, but it wasn't stable. Rebooted several times when I tried to manually input a phone number in dialer. Also, it took far too long to boot. About twice as long as Stock. So now I am back to Stock, still rooted on 30D & I just got hit with an OTA update notification.
How is CM 14 doing for you in regards to heat issues, Bluetooth connectivity and camera quality?

I don't use my g3 for daily use so I can't tell you about what issues. The Bluetooth seems to work, but I haven't tested it totally yet. I need to update the g3 vendor and configs to 30e and make sure nothing is broken.

From where do I download the SU.zip file?

Working so far! Thank You!

Working so far, Thank You!!

Hi and thanks for the uploads! My questions is, if I'm already on stock 30D what files do I need to flash in order to only update. Or do I need to flash the complete 1.1GB package? Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Just flashed it. In the Software Version it still displays D85130d. Is it something I missed?

Used TWRP to dirty flash Complete, Boot Repack, and latest SU from the link in post 1 of the 30d thread, in that order, on a phone with 30d rooted, and everything seems to be working correctly. Still rooted, showing 30e in software version.

tha's because you didn't want to flash the whole rom. You're bootloader and modem are on 30E, but you're still using the 30D rom.

Ok, I understand what I did and thank you for the explanation. I'm kinda of a noob when it comes to ROMs and for a moment I thought this was the OTA from D to E but breakdown into separate files. Guess I have to flash the ROM compelety. Again, thanks for all the work to do!

Did it boot up normally, or did you have to go through the process of setting up a new phone? (enter email, restore apps, etc) Thanks.

So this only changes the software version. I'm on
D85130D, is there anything different in this ROM.??
Another question. If I only want to run the stock without root what do I flash.

Yes. Dirty flash (just cleared cache and dalvik, but not data or full wipe) preserved all settings. Took a couple of minute to boot and update apps, but everything was preserved. Only dirty flash if you are coming from stock or rooted stock, not from any other rom.

Dirty Flashed using TWRP 3.0 over 30D (Rooted+Stock) by clearing Dalvik and Cache.
* First boot took a while.. roughly 20-25 minutes for Optimizing App (as I have around 250 Apps)
* Took 23% of my battery (flashing to first boot -- Surprised!)
* Ubuntu 16 no longer detecting phone (no charging or MTP) was working fine before update
* Lost Root Access -- SuperSU no longer works.. says SU Binary not installed (was working before)
* Tried KingRoot 4.8.2 for temp root , NO LUCK! (root is gone)
* Rebooted - Ubuntu is detecting the phone now
* Bloatware are back
googled .. couldn't find any root method for this update.
Anyone has info.. how to root 30E?

UPDATE
=======
Battery's dropping FAST!!! (from 77% to 66% in few minutes of standby)
UPDATE 2
========
Flashed Boot Repack, and latest SU .. ROOT is back!
Battery Draining FAST!
This one is a working method 30E+ROOT+TWRP.
Thanks

Working fine so far. Thanks a lot!

Worked for me too. Thanks.
BTW, I did the dirty flash option. and followed danam's post.

So for clarity, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right if someone can chime in. I currently have a D851 with Lollipop 5.0 CloudyG3 2.5 rom unrooted with TWRP recovery. If i wanted to upgrade to 30E KDZ, i have to do the following:
1. upgrade to 30e kdz firmware using LG Flash Tool
2. use twrp to flash the complete flashable zip
thats all I have to do?

If you flash the KDZ, it'll erase TWRP and you won't be able to get root.
