Downgrade to which Jelly Bean version?

[gamefanatic]

Hi,

I have Nexus 7 wifi 2012 and it currently has Lollypop 5. Ever since I updated my Nexus 7 and left Jelly Bean my Tab has become very slow and lags a lot. I wish to revert to Jelly Bean without rooting. Kindly suggest me which stock version should I flash which could give the best performance; 4.1.2, 4.2.2 or 4.3. I would also need your help after I successfully flash the device so brotherd help me.

I suggest you to factory reset your device before downgrading it solves problem for many peoples

I think you cant downgrade after having Lollipop on your phone.

huzaifa1000, I have done this several times.


thahim, Are you sure?

Did you factory reset with clearing cache and delvik caches from recovery. Try that

what?

Yep, I also read that due to updated bootloader, you can't downgrade.

I have seen the same thing somewhere. You can't downgrade from Android L.

I am afraid you cannot downgrade from Lollipop dude... Just wait for the update and then see the difference!

I am pretty sure you can flash the stock images for nexus 7 and flash them if you have unlocked bootloader.

I think it could be because of lack of free storage. My phone's storage filled up right when I installed lollipop but when I free'd up some space,it was perfect !

How about if I first root the device and revert to Jelly Bean after that?
