You can only flash custom ROMs based on touchwiz ROMs through recovery like sweetrom or aryamod .... or use Odin to flash original Samsung firmware because you can't use recovery to flash original firmware.

Press thanks if I helped you.

which cwm to flash,philz v5 or kitkat v 6?This say by sweet rom: Flash any Philz JB Kernel (after 4.35 cwm but recommend any newer than 4.89.4).
Do I need to flash an older version of CWM recovery when I switched back to JB 4.1.2?

Downgrading to JB is as easy as booting into recovery, wiping data, booting into download mode and flashing the stock rom
or booting into recovery and flash a custom TW rom or restore the backup if you made any before flashing Omni.

I have a non-rooted phone upgraded with what Samsung provided (several OTA, then Kies to 4.1.2, N7000XXLTC).

I'd like to downgrade to stock 4.0.4. My steps are:

1. wipe cache & data from Recovery (would a Factory Reset do both?);
2. use Odin to flash the ROM;
3. never do any sort of wipe again.

Is that correct?

Steps are correct... Use the recovery option to wipe data / factory reset ..instead of the settings menu.

same thing for me,

but I have a issue here. I had made a backup of my 4.1.2 rom in cwm, and flashed a 4.4.3 omnibus rom,, after flashing omni I have twrp recovery rather cwm recovery , so I am unable to restore cwm backup

do I need to flash cwm again ,?

or any other ways

omni rom draining battery very fast, and it made a dead battery

thanks

Yes you will need to get CWM.. flash raw or philz kernel and then reboot recovery, wipe and restore the backup.

Let me share my own experience :D
Whenever i wanna go back to jellybean from kitkat :
1. Do clean wipe
2. Flashing official gingerbread rom
3. And then installing jellybean..
I dont know why but whenever flashing jellybean after do a clean wipe it never works so what i do is flashing gingerbread first hehe

I'm on 4.4.4 DU Rom.. The phone got hanged after I enabled the allow mock location option. Then the phone got stuck at the Samsung Logo screen. I went to recovery and tried doing factory reset, but it failed with error as unable to mount /data. After that recovery mode is not available, but I can go in Download mode. So, i tried to install JB 4.1.2 - N7000XXLTA via Odin. But the process gets failed after 'NAND write start'!!!

Any solution???
