It is possible to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.0.4 ? if is,how to do it ? via odin ?
No, unless you have an efs backup from before you upgraded to 4.3.
Also, 4.0 will kill your phone.
why,4.0.4 is stock firmware for s3 when s3 build.
Search and read about SDS, a bug they fixed at 4.1 firmware EMG4. Anything earlier than this will destroyed the nand memory.
slow to upgrade to 4.4.4
why do you think better 4.0.4
ok,can i downgrade to 4.1.2 ? i am now on 4.3 NeatRom.I think device performe faster,little more ram memory is free than 4.3

Download 4.1.2 version minimal XXEMG4, not older (letters before G are older, far from G newer) and flash via Odin.
You can find firmware on sammobile (not allowed to post link due to rules).
Also, if you don't know how to flash via Odin, look -> here

Mate....you REALLY need to do some searching and reading before you touch your phone.
You ask for 4.2.2 firmware.....it doesn't exist....4.1.2 firmware is the newest.
You can get newer versions of android in custom ROMs.....but....
SEARCH READ UNDERSTAND LEARN......THEN AND ONLY THEN...DO......
some search suggestions.....
emmc brickbug
Odin flashing
kernel
Rooting
Firmware
custom ROM
Knowledge will help to prevent you from turning your S2 into an expensive paperweight. It's no good providing links unless you know/understand what you're doing......

Guys. please hel me. I'm noob in android and I'm new in XDA.I updated my Samsung Galaxy Siii GT-I9300 to a leaked version of JB4.3(Ireland) and I regret it. It eats up my battery so fast and it has some bugs including the music player when locked. I want to restore it to the Stock JB 4.1.2. But I've read some threads that downgrading will cause errors on IMEI/EFS thing ( I badly want to downgrade it and wait for the official release of the Firmware. Please HELP ME GUYSS!
First of all, is your device rooted?

Huhu. But the other threads states that downgrading will cause a problem with my Imei. And leads to no network thing. is there any other way? Or an specific ROM that wont cause that problem? Thanks for lending your time.

I did have a GT-9300 and i could not remember how many times i flash up and down stock roms by ODIN and there was no error at all?
4.3 sucks bad...
Yes After downgrading to 4.1.2 My S3 (GT-I9300) does not show any Network. It is just a Emergency Call Only phone now.. Though after coming back to 4.3 again it works fine. I am also pissed off with this stupid update by Samsung. Please help if any buddy can...
Is it the official one from the Samsung website?
just downgrade it to 4.1.2 and flash a 4.1.2 modem, it will surely work.
Downgrade SGS3 4.3 to 4.1.2
I had similar issue upgraded to UK Stock 4.3 from Samfirmware ad had a terrible experience. I came across this 4.1.2 stock rom for Germany that worked with no issues as this one has MG4 modem that reads EFS2 partition newly implemented by Samsung,
Product Code: MBC
PDA: I9300XXEMG4
CSC: I9300MBCEMH1
MODEM: I9300XXEMG4
simply flash it through ODIN
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/250954845/08fe425/I9300XXEMG4_I9300MBCEMH1_MBC.zip.html
If your S3 doesn't reboot on its own, enter Recovery Mode by pressing Volume Up + Power + Home button simultaneously and then performing a Data Wipe/Factory Reset and wipe any cache partition. Then select Reboot System Now and you should be good to go.
Hope your problem will also solved as mine. Click Thanks if it works

If u did not back up ur efs before u flash 4.3, it is useless. Not entirely useless but useless at this situation.

Flashing roms in CWM is same in all phones...
If you looking for an AOSP roms, you can try SlimBeans... I use it and its really smooth and fast and low battry drain
If you Looking for Samsung base Roms, Try Wanam Lite or Android Revolution HD...
there is lots of note 3 ported roms but i found most of them laggy and unstable...

I have flashed lots of official roms, but i didn't see any important differences between different countries roms... Just some language features...
I'm persian but i flashed MK6 rom that is for Europe, I've got no problem... I can even type Persian...
For 4.3 rom, you've got just few choices and best of them is MK6... The other 4.3 updates have a lots of bugs but MK6 is almost bug free rom...

You should've done some reading first:banghead:
I am afraid to ask if you have Efs backup?
Flash 4.3 again and pray . If it recovers(imei) then downgrade to 4.1.2 and when you choose firmware be sure that it's not below mg4 modem.
Backup Efs after flashing 4.3 if you get back your Imei.
