How can I restore back to factory setting?

Restore to factory setting

I did the "restore to factory settings" expecting it to put it back to Jellybean 4.1.2 which it came with. But instead it is still at 4.4.2. Is there a way to really restore it to factory original settings?

Thanks

Re: Restore to factory setting

Factory Restore really means "remove any changes I made to the phone", it doesn't remove updates.

You'd have to find a 4.1.2 ROM at SamMobile Firmwares for your model Tab3, then flash it with Odin. (If the tab is AT&T or Verizon, you probably can't go back any further than 4.4.2, because they're kind of locked.)
