as per the video in odin we dont select the option auto reboot while downgrading that's why we have to unplug the phone when the state "reset" in odin ...
i personally ask you to use this method which his mentioned in this link http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/how-to-downgrade-to-nh6-t2913368 ...to downgrade your phone ...use jb firmware instead of nh6 mentioned in the point no 6. in the link
the firmware for downgrading should be Indonesia jb firmware & not Thailand as your phone is Indonesia....

thanks for the reply! :D
i still don't get your point, why use NH6? and i can't find any firmware with NH6 o_O"

Hi,

Is it possible to downgrade G7102XXUBNK1 to JB 4.3 and if yes, could you post a link to the latest available JB, since I couldn't find anything below KK 4.4 on Sammobile?

Thanks in advance!

    I try this method and it works perfectly :good::good::good:

    :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

    =================

    UPDATE 9/4/2014

    I tried a new method working perfectly too

    working in stock recovery
    no need to be rooted

    1. Boot to recovery, turn off the phone then press Home + Power + Volume up
    2. wipe data / factory reset
    3. Wipe Cache partition
    4. Remove battery and put it back after 20 seconds
    5. Boot to Download Mode, turn off the phone then press Home + Power + Volume Down then volume up
    6. Flash Firmware(Jelly Bean 4.3) via ODIN be sure uncheck AUTO REBOOT and wait to be completed
    7. Remove battery again and put it back after 20 seconds
    8. Turn ON the Grand 2, if you see green android animation
    9. Downgrade is SUCCESSFUL
    10. ENJOY!!!!!

    source video and tested

    the tutorial works perfectly. I successfully downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3. i'll add this, if anyone of you encounter "failed to complete normal boot" in red after flashing 4.3 i recommend download mode reflashing 4.3 via odin. it worked for me :) Thanks for the thread
