4.3 Update downgrade

[TheNinthAxis]

I updated to 4.3, it wrecked my phone, wifi unstable, terrible battery life. I was rooted on 4.1.2, I used ([GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II! - xda-developers) and used the 4.1.2 VRAMC3 link. It reset my phone to stock 4.1.2 and I updated. Well I don't like 4.3 and I wanted to go back to 4.1.2. I have tried this method and Odin fails at sboot.bin. I have gotten my phone back to 4.1.1 but its rooted and won't let me update from there (the update in software updates is labeled update_SCH-I605_LJB_to_LL4). I used this (http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...how-vzw-gnote2-root-rom-via-odin-w-video.html) and downloaded and successfully downloaded the Deodexed rom and it loaded 4.1.1 but again its rooted. I am currently downloading ([ODIN][VRALJB][VRAMC3][VRUEMJ9] Restore to Stock - xda-developers) the VRUEMJ9 to try and load that in Odin. Any ideas on getting my phone back to completely stock 4.1.2. I have searched for several hours this morning alone just trying to resolve this issue.

Also how do I know if I have an unlocked bootloader.
Thank you for your help.

The only thing I can think of is to try redownloading your files, restart your PC, use different cables, USB ports.

This worked
Used VRUEMJ9
Used Odin
VRUEMJ9 in PDA
Auto Reboot Checked
F.Reset Time Checked
Reboot Phone to Recovery
Start
Worked like charm.

Although I can't get back to 4.1.2 this did get my phone back to up to date OTA updates. Hope fully my irritable bowel from this helps someone else. Maybe someone knows a way to get back to 4.1.2 but I sure don't.
