I got this POS 4.3 and 4.4.2 update and now my phone is just not working as it was before.
Can I get back to 4.2.2 somehow?

If not I will go back to the service center and demand I want the original update back, I didn't ask for an update.

i think there way to back to this 4.2.2

some info regarding downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 for I9500:

- You can downgrade only to official 4.2.2 MH1 firmwares. South Affrica, Guatemala and China regions only got the MH1 since it has the secured bootloader (do not flash China). (note that the new knox bootloader will be triggered after downgrading)
- Also if you have before a nandroid backup of a stock 4.2.2, restore it with a custom recovery.

Return it as you can't go back successfully without issues :cowboy:
